Incline Monster Hunter World - G-rank edition. Now on PC.

[sullynathan]

so how quick is this game gonna get filled with cheaters?

as quick as the PC version releases

 

[Hyperion]

Fuck, I forgot this was so close to release and I just started NieR:Automata. Looks like I'm gonna be late to the party. Might just skip the ps4 release and wait for PC.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Yea I'm just gonna wait for the PC release. I'm not really in any kind of mood to pay to use my own internet on the PS4.

The second best thing about Monster Hunter World besides Monster Hunter World is how asshurt it's going to make soulsfaggots who came in thinking they were getting dark souls.

Judging by the amount of butthurt generated among these wankers, MHW already delivered. It's idiotic how people base their experiences solely on Dark Souls -- if any other action game dares to play different, it's automatically shit. Bunch of limited retards, may Rathalos fireball their asses to hell.

Still, some people might fall into the "MH newcomer cycle":

1. Play the game
2. "There's no lock on/it's sluggish/monsters are sponges reeeeeee"
3. Tries again months/years later
4. "OMG it's heaven"

12 hours already. Mostly fucking around with my friend.
Overall it is pretty fucking epic though first quests are waaay to easy for veterans.

Story wise it is standard mh stuff + cutscenese and voice acting. I instantly changed to Monster Hunter Language from English and everything seems to mash way better.

I love idea of squads/clan in MH. Made one and with few friends we log into squad session isntead of online session so if someone plays at all MH he is in room with everyone else from squad be it on mission or not.

First gear is ridiculously easy to get by MH standards. After one hunt of some monster you can more or less get whole armor set. I am guessing they made it in such way so newbs would get frustrated that they need to grind for whole sets at start and get them into game loop.

Cathing animals and releasing them in your house is fun stuff. ALL HAIL PARATOAD !

Holy potato graphics wtf it's like they designed the game for last gen...

Maybe they ported textures from the 3DS games? IDK

Combat looks lame too. Dark Souls is still the king!

 

[Dawkinsfan69]

sick hud too lmao what a joke

 

[Machocruz]

The hud font is truly generic shit, but so it is for all AAA games these days. Immersive UIs are not a thing anymore

 

[Machocruz]

And holy shit that review. Well pussy, I'm an oldfag who has been playing ARPGs since, oh, they fucking came out in the 80s, and I say MH combat is gud. Considering how much some of the monsters move and a decent player can still hit them with down-to-the-limb accuracy, the hitboxes are fine. Meanwhile, the Dark Souls games are hitbox meme city. Just check YT. Oh, and the games are more popular than Souls in Japan, the land of top tier melee combat in vidyas. Get fucked.

 

[Great Deceiver]

Fuck this console exclusivity period man. And fuck this Arial UI.

 

[sullynathan]

Pro tip, buy a console

That's the utter opposite of a protip.

Some negative reviews, how Perkel will defend from those?

When you hit a monster with your weapon it dosent give you the feel of slicing into them, like other games. I also feel that the combos are pretty basic and not that much thought

You run around and spam O to gather **** then you fight a monster that decides to run away from you all day. Its obnoxiously and sorely lacking in entertainment value. A ton of busy work in between fighting, and the busy work of constantly chasing something while you're fighting.

Far too simplified and watered down Monster Hunter, an attempt to make an already new gamer friendly consumer franchise even easier to the point where it hurts the game/gameplay

his game is an insult to every veteran of Monster Hunter. The entire gameplay has been casualized and westernized so that your average newcomer in the West would be more likely to appreciate this game.

 

[Deflowerer]

Who cares about such menial criticisms? What's really damning this game is that it's a fucking colonialist fantasy. It's 2018 for fuck's sake, when does this stop?

Brace yourself, gents, for brain damage.

I bought it because I'm a moron. Exploring the "ecosystem" as they call it has actually been enjoyable, and the first big monster fight was pretty fun. The game definitely delivers some strong first impressions I'll give it that, but I can already detect the obnoxious grind this thing is gonna turn into 10 or 20 hours from now.

Not looking forward to that shit. Still I'll give it props because I went in expecting to hate it from the start and I don't hate it. Yet.

^Whoever said that ain't wrong. The hits don't feel as satisfying as they should. The combat has felt very "meh" in general thus far. I mean it's not bad, but if you honestly think this is on par with Dark Souls & Dragon's Dogma combat you're a fucking retard. It's more comparable to Witcher 3's combat than anything, which wasn't great.

Money isn't a problem for me, so suck it.

Is this the only excuse you could think of? Low int retard.

what weapon are you using? How long have you been playing the game?

 

[Cowboy Moment]

So, how is the offline experience? Never played a MH game and it looks like something I'd like, but I'm not paying for console multiplayer on principle.

I beat Portable 3rd by myself with no multiplayer, it's a previous Monster Hunter game. It was still fun and you still have all the exact same content without having other people there to help you in a fight

 

[Perkel]

This is the fist mh game where you can beat everything both solo and multi. Because there is no longer distinction between multi and single player. If you start solo then you have solo difficulty if you start with 2 players minimum you have multiplayer difficulty.

Got to 3rd map. So far imo best MH game. AI of monsters is really what makes clear divide. Second most important thing is how most of weapons now feel fluid. We triad with friend to hunt diablos but it basically pummeled us and gone away from map. It is not beta that is for sure.

 

[pakoito]

Wait, which MH can't you complete solo? What's the theoretical git gud barrier for a solo player? I suck massively despite having played 2, 3 and 4.

I don't think there's any you can't complete solo except the MMO's. There were multiplayer missions in the previous games that I think you couldn't access without going online.

 

[SerratedBiz]

I think the problem with reactivity and such stems from the fact that monsters seem to move right through your blows, unless you actually knock them down or stun them. Therefore it can feel floaty when I'm swinging my 1-ton hammer around and the big bad just sort of does his mating call and interrupt me.

Not saying that the combat is bad per se, but it does seem to lack that nice feedback you get when you whop something with a weapon.
