It may be a small thing, but I am kind of glad how understated the slinger is on the arm. Replaying World right now, and it is something I visually dislike how it affects the overall armor design, particularly whenever it is a reused slinger design on different armors.
There is a mod that removes the slinger so you don’t have to see it a some armors like Kulve beta or the haloween don’t have it so you get an energy effect.
@@Remi-Toruzen I'm aware, most of the armors I like still have them, and I don't play on PC because mine runs the game poorly, not that I care to use mods anyway.
I think monsters are going to get more dynamic weakness zones in this. When the trailer is showing off Focus Mode it states that it highlights wounds AND weak spots and we can see the inside of the Chatacabra's mouth seems to be highlighted when its tongue is out. This could mean that monsters expose weak spots during certain attacks and we can capitalize on that
Being able to slash at a Pukei Pukei's tongue to flinch it would be pretty neat. Or if a Rathalos shoots a fireball and you could stab into its open mouth, but that's less likely.
yeah Sharpening on mount isnt great but let me remind you that this is basically the modern version of changing zones to sharpen safely back in the day. as you still move into a stat where you cant really fight.
The question becomes: "How easy will it be to mount the bird in-combat?" I, for one, am super glad that they're going for a more methodical play pace. It looks less like they're trying to overwhelm us with speed and action quantity, and more like they're trying to give us interesting situations and choices (EDIT: Action QUALITY), and I'M HERE FOR IT!
Also Ruri of you read this I hope this makes a feel a little less bad about sharpening on your Seikrat. The devs did state that this game had it's world pinned against you to the max. Especially if your hunting a monster in a pack like dosha or bhara you probably won't get an opening without getting carted. Also, the Seikrat is strutting heck a slow when sharpening probably to balance it out. Since we only got three seconds of that in the video we still don't know a lot and I could be absolutely wrong, but there is hope it's balanced to the world
I saw that Monsters left behind foot prints. Our Seikrats don't. It made me think we really only got to see 5 seconds of tracking. When you begin your quest the scout flies take you in a general location not he exact location because you don't see the monster's icon. Then when you see the hunter get close the monster icon pops up. You might have to gather tracks to progress your bar and then the court fly reveals the location
I loved the kinda cowboyish look of this initial armor they're showing, the boots, the gloves, this GS with a leather revolver holster, a mount (like ""horses"") and the place with an arid prairie vibe
In Sunbreak I only used the sharpen on the mount thing, once the monster leaves, which was very frequent in Sunbreak. Moving to the new monster location and sharpening rather than sharpen in place for like 3 seconds Then move to the new location. As a Lance main I prefer the cheeky combat sharpen(grounded), which is also a "Taunt" that makes the monster target you.
Came here to say this exact thing. It might be the insane amount of hours I’ve put into GL, but those few ticks are more than enough to lead me to thinking it’s the Wyrmstake Cannon
Something you MISSED regarding the brief look at Gunlance's Focus Attack! The Wyrmstake that's put into Chatacabra doesn't come from the barrel like it usually does, but instead from the break-action chamber! It's like when you do a full reload and see the Wyrmstake loaded in, except here you're firing it into the Monster while the Gunlance is still broken open.
13:57 THANK YOU! This is never meant to be a super flashy game, while amazing feats should be possible the charm of this is that its a grounded feeling
2 things that I think are possible: a) You can't sharpen/consume items on a running Seikret... only a walking one b) You can't direct a Seikret if you're sharpening or consuming items. Both still give you a more reliable way to run away from a fight and restock/heal/craft/collect etc. than in World/Iceborne, which I'm kinda divided on, coz on the one hand it helps to avoid stuff like Deviljho during farming monsters, but on the other hand, running away feels like breaking the dance with the monster that is the game. Hopefully you can't both sharpen and run on a Seikret tho, that would make it too easy, and probably then require balancing fights on the fact that you can run away... which would be fine if its like a special pursuit attack, but if they get like HP/Atk buffed and stuff for balancing I wouldn't like it that much since I don't like running away and don't want my life to become much harder coz I am not running away everytime I am low on healing or need a sharpen.
That "new" sliding move for SnS uses the same exact animation as the switch skill Sliding Slash, alhtough I imagine this one will have different properties
@@dracog8197 yeah its really not that op. If your gonna talk about op all the old games you could literally walk into a different load zone go sharpen and heal and then walk back into the zone with the monster with no punishment to the player.
Ruri. I personally never call my mount to just sharpen. That takes extra time and button presses. I understand your sentiment. But I feel like this mount and sharpen feature is really for newcomers/novice players. Cuz I sure won't do it when I can simply either flash the monster or do it when the monster isn't looking at me. Or locked in animation. I don't think this ride while sharpen takes away from the game. Because heck, really, I use the mount sharpen in between the monster swapping area. While also re applying buffs. 👌🏾
I mentioned this elsewhere but not only does sharpening take the same amount of whetstone strokes, but they removed the part at the end with the hunter admiring their newly sharpened weapon before putting it away, so it's even less punishing than before even without the Seikret mount. In my eyes this is similar to removing the arm flex after drinking a potion. It removes a bit of the MH charm in favor of more fluid gameplay. Being able to trigger environmental stuff without using slinger ammo is a great addition for me. Sometimes I'd have a flash bomb or similar loaded and if I wanted to drop a stalactite I'd need to either use the flash bomb to do it or spend time trying to load different ammo and likely lose the opportunity I had. Regarding the monster charging you being 'slow'... it makes sense, considering Chatacabra is likely going to be a "low tier" monster. You don't introduce monster charging attack mechanics to a new hunter by throwing them against a Tigrex or Diablos, that's what monsters like this and Barroth are for. If people want to see a monster doing very fast attacks then you should look at tougher monsters, not what could be this game's equivalent of Great Jaggi. Immediately after you talk about this you realize that the hunter is doing a charge attack and turning completely around. This is very likely what the developers meant when they were saying things like 'focus mode will allow new hunters have an easier time with the game' or whatever wording they used, as now you won't get punished as hard for starting an attack facing the wrong direction. I main lance and being able to readjust even 5 degrees to either side is going to be a huge game changer, let alone 180 degrees (even better if it allows us to poke straight upwards, but I doubt it). The Charge Blade gets a really cool sliding slash attack that ends in a guard point, it would be cool if the SnS got something similar to that now because that's what that attack reminds me of minus the guard point. The 'strafing to the left' reminds me of the fade slashes with longsword. I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. A little dodge roll/hop with damage added in. It's very likely an attack added for focus mode to let you reposition around a monster while still aiming at it.
When it comes to sharpening while mounted, I just ask the question, "does this break my immersion" and it absolutely does not. If this was a movie, and I watched the character kneel down in front of a monster to sharpen their weapon, only to get smacked, I'd be yelling "why the fuck didn't he just get on his mount while doing that?!" Because it's the obvious thing to do. So because of that, if they want to have a mount, I think they have to let you do it.
monster hunter definitely hasn’t put immersion before all if we’re being honest. they’ve moved towards it with world and now wilds but rise was the game to introduce mounted sharpening and it was meant to be quality of life to match the pace of the game even if it sacrificed difficulty. there’s a lot more that goes into this game’s design in regards to balancing rather than focusing purely on immersion
It looks like using that focus attack on wounds, also removes the wound. I think you can see a wound on the back leg still of the last clip, yet the one hit disappeared. If that's the case, it better do a shit ton of damage to make it worth getting it removed. Or maybe the wound goes away after a certain amount of time/damage done to it. So it's worth using a special focus attack towards the end of the wound being there
That Gunlance shot looks like a Miniature Bullet Barrage, based on the sounds it fired the Wyrmstake and a Full Burst, but concentrated on one point, which is a dope idea for its Focus Strike.
For anyone wondering, focus mode on a wound gives you a 21.1% increase to damage on hit. Focus mode will be absolutely great on wake up if buffs to damage are additive instead multiplicative.
I really don't need the "glowing weakspot" effect here. The visual of the wound is already a natural and immersive indicator, like the series has always had. I hope there's an option to turn it off in focus mode.
Also, I think they really upped our character run/movement animations. In World it looked kinda funky, a bit floaty. Here it looks natural, the moment when he starts moving he goes from slow to faster animations and I am glad they put some work into it as well.
Well we don’t know all the specifics about the wounding, it might have some kind of scaling. Like it takes fewer hits from a Greatsword to wound a monster than an insect glaive
I definitely agree with the concerns that certain actions, such as sharpening while mounted, could trivialize some aspects of the game. I'm still pretty iffy on the ability to walk while healing. Having to learn the recovery time on a monster's attacks and when to take advantage of them to heal while stood in place felt like a big part of learning fights. Even with how slowly you walk while healing, it is enough to dodge many attacks and feels silly when you just slowly step out of the way of impending doom while nonchalantly chugging a potion. Definitely not a deal-breaker though, this game looks amazing
I think my favorite part of brining two weapons will be bringing two of the same weapon, just different elements or something. At least at first, swapping between phial types, shelling types, ammo, etc. sounds really interesting. I also think being able to pivot that much on GS is huge. I've never quite gotten the hang of GS, but now I might give it another try if it's easier to hit my charged attacks.
@@kryptonian5539 No more awesome than the leather and mail we start with in World, or the Jagras Armor. It's a little cool, like pretty much all armor, but it's the normal level of cool early armor gets.
Man the 'World' vibe from all the little details in this is awesome, it truly looks like this will be everything I wanted from another MH. Capcom u legends :D
i love being able to sharpen while mounted. it walks very slow anyway but if the monster runs i can sharpen and then immediately start following. this is looking awesome
Rurikhan what are your pc specs if you don't mind me asking? If you are talking about upgrading your GPU, I'm kind of worried for the rest of us mere mortals. Jokes aside, great vid man. Love the content :)
One thing I'm a bit nervous about with focus mode is if it's a toggle or a limited resource that you have to build up/wait to charge. Part of the skill of a weapon I felt in previous MH games was your positioning because of the limited movement once you started attacking. This focus mode allowing you to easily direct your attack (for example doing a complete 180 while charging the GS) definitely makes it more accessible, but I feel like it also hurts the integrity of the weapon skill... I'm all for making things more accessible, and I don't want to come off as gatekeeping, but idk, just worried this might be a step far because it takes away how the weapons felt and what they required of the player to make the most out of them.
I agree about the GS stuff. Not upset that they're trying to make it better/ more accessible, but for me it feel like they're taking away a little bit of the charm and skill of the weapon. Also worried it's going to make true charge slash not as satisfying because it will be easier to do. In the end, I think it will be fine and it's just me being an old head about it
I also do not like instant crafting "in combat." ( can be instant outside ) And i play LBG and HBG. There should be some risk to crafting items or ammo in combat. Have the hunter stop, kneel down, do a little animation or longer animation depending on amount, then stand back up when finished.
I would normally be a bit annoyed at being able to sharpen so fast on seikret, but I doubt that capcom would add such a mechanic without giving monsters tools to counter it. Maybe I'm wrong but this isn't the rise team
I'm sure it's been mentioned here before, but just in case I came at the right time. I absolutely appreciate the attention to detail, when it comes to the potion or mega potion, you can see the Hunter actually drink it, and the potion depletes when empty. I love that Detail!
I actually really like wyrmstake blast for the double explosions, and focus mode could solve the pain and suffering that is actually landing it on the monster
The primary weapon is what you are carrying/using and secondary is on your mount until you swap. They said that later on there will be systems that you unlock related to the weapon swap so maybe some skills buff your secondary weapon only or something. Or a skill that is like the swap scrolls skills, where it has 2 different effects based on what weapon slot you're using. I would appreciate it if some environmental traps are you have to shoot them with slinger ammo or use the hook slonger, not you can just use either of them to trigger it. Focus mode is optional for the wounds, to see them or use the focus attacks on them, but it letting you aim is what has me interested. Hopefully some moves that only hit a certain way can be changed with aiming. Think like ls final spirit slash where you aim higher to not hit the feet or lance high thrust aiming low to hit a like balahara or snake wyvern tail that's too low for the high thrusts that are your bread and butter combo. Also, multiple wounds on the monster at once so players in a team can each make them and not fight over them as much. We don't need a boomerang attack, we need najarala and tidal back so tidal can have his bouncing water shots. Focus mode putting the red glow on the wounds is from the ground up accessibility built into the wounding system. As someone with not the best eyesight, I love this. You can hear the wyrmstake ticks, so it's not wyrmstake blast. I do agree, they should have spent the axtra second to show the entire animation with it exploding. That's proably the hbg focus attack.
You could aim your guards in world too, you just press the other trigger while guarding and your hunter will turn to face the direction of your camera. It's pretty handy when you need to swing your guard all the way around.
17:23 I’m pretty sure the sliding slash was in Rise/Sunbreak too. It could be different, but it looks like that rising slash and falling shield bash move.
2:21 in the bottom of the mini map you can see the icon of the "village" i believe (?) iirc you previously mention about seamless world with village and hunting area
I like that you can sharpen while mounted during _tracking_ but it does make it almost free to do during combat. Gonna have to wait and see if there's any countermeasures somewhere else in the design that account for it.
The best "wound" mechanic was in MH Online. By the end of the fight, the monster is all cover of wounds and bloody. That was really a nice mechanic tho
It’d be awesome if they were able to incorporate hitzone values into the creation of weak points. Consecutive hits on the head generate a weak point, but consecutive hits with a blunt weapon create a more potent weak point. Same goes for weak points on the tail with severing weapons All weapons benefit from the stronger weak points. I think that would incentivize more variety in what you bring to a hunt
They have yet to show of ANY of the elders we're going to fight in Wilds. With the ludicrous detail they decided to put onto this monster's butt, I cannot WAIT to see what the Elders will look like!!!!
Damn the visuals are so crispy. Aside from World Monster hunter has never realy been a visual focused game because Art style always made up for lack of fedelity but this looks like one of the better looking games ive seen from CAPCOM.
Makes sense, World is their best selling game ever, and this is the first MH entry since where they can make full use of visuals. So Capcom splurging here makes a lot of sense.
I know a lot of people see this as a "lesser game" but the wound is like how dauntless deals with wounds. The only difference is that in wilds all weapons can wound and not certain weapons
I agree about it requiring more skill to sharpen in combat, but I actually propose the question of "does it natter?" How often, outside of your first few low rank monsters, do you actually NEED to sharpen while in the fight vs doing it between the monster moving locations? They've given so many ways to handle sharpness & handicraft from even a bit later low rank these last few games that it's not really an issue anymore
I can see a potential gameplay loop of attack to apply wounds, use focus strike for big damage and repeat. I don't see it as a problem necessarily, I'm just curious about how it will feel. I mean we only will find out when we get hands on
"is this a new move for the sword and shield?" Ruri, focus mode attacks are all new. Ps.the focus mode attack for bowgun appears closest to the silkbind counter but is otherwise completely new.
17:17 Not a slope. He is sliding on the monster’s saliva, which makes more sense. It’s just like Velkhana whenever there’s ice on the ground during the fight.
It could be interesting if sharpening on your Seikret means the Seikret can only move at its slowest speed and if there was some sort of consequence if your Seikret gets hit/injured such as your Seikret being unusable until the end of combat.
So excited for this game! The fidelity and having world mechanics again is gonna be great. You’ve been making me want to return to world again Ruri and Start a fresh character on PC for the first time haha. Cheers man have a good day!
I know the sharpen topic is an opinion, but there is one very specific point that I think is important to consider: In every monster hunter game before World, you could easily just run to a different section of the map mid fight and sharpen your weapon with absolutely no worry, because each section is separated by loading screens. TLDR: Sharpening weapons has never actually been hard or about skill at all.
7:35 Sharpening mid fight does take a little bit of skill but for most weapons it's not at the forefront of concern. It most likely is for Ruri because Gun-Lance is probably the weapon that loses sharpness the fastest along with dualblades dropping from purple to blue in a flash whereas many other weapons take 3 times as long to lose the same. Also since World speed sharpen has been super easy it slot in
the sharpening while mounted well if it forces the Seikret into a walking speed for the hunter to keep their weapon steady when sharpening then i wouldnt mind it
I found it comical how detailed the frogs butt was in the video
It saves time. This way modders don't need to do it.
"Welcome back to monster hunter wilds" 🥰
Hell yeah. LETS GOOOO
We're Wildiiin folks
I can’t wait to hear this phrase for the next 5+ years
Really hope it works on steam deck. I never want to turn on my ps5 again.
Came here faster than a Lance main dashing with infinite Stamina
The fact that we are potentially getting weapon showcase videos like these everyday leading up to GamesCon pleases me greatly.
not potentially babeeeeee. lock in!
It may be a small thing, but I am kind of glad how understated the slinger is on the arm. Replaying World right now, and it is something I visually dislike how it affects the overall armor design, particularly whenever it is a reused slinger design on different armors.
@@ev_artwork6443 the slingers in world is bigger because it's got the claw. Personally I like it. It looks metal af. The wild version is also cool.
@@rustygear447 It's not really because of the claw though, because the slingers were that big in base world before the claw existed
There is a mod that removes the slinger so you don’t have to see it a some armors like Kulve beta or the haloween don’t have it so you get an energy effect.
Damn I liked the big slinger way more felt like it could actually lob stuff and matched with armor
@@Remi-Toruzen I'm aware, most of the armors I like still have them, and I don't play on PC because mine runs the game poorly, not that I care to use mods anyway.
Ruri: "Look at that Gunlance, the subtle steampunk theme, the tasteful thickness of it. Oh my god, it even has a new move"
To be fair: everyone that saw their main get new moves is like that. At least he pointed out everything that looks new on the others, too.
Lets see Paul Allen’s gunlance
I think monsters are going to get more dynamic weakness zones in this. When the trailer is showing off Focus Mode it states that it highlights wounds AND weak spots and we can see the inside of the Chatacabra's mouth seems to be highlighted when its tongue is out. This could mean that monsters expose weak spots during certain attacks and we can capitalize on that
Being able to slash at a Pukei Pukei's tongue to flinch it would be pretty neat. Or if a Rathalos shoots a fireball and you could stab into its open mouth, but that's less likely.
@@Zulban48the rathalos thing makes sense actually. High risk high reward
yeah Sharpening on mount isnt great but let me remind you that this is basically the modern version of changing zones to sharpen safely back in the day.
as you still move into a stat where you cant really fight.
I think the mounted sharpening and whatnot will be more needed because of herds and such
That potion animation was sick! the hunter actually drinks it and you can see it. I know its a small thing hut its great stuff
Yeah, I saw that too, they really want us to notice how liquid the potion is in some takes, and I loved that detail 😂
The question becomes: "How easy will it be to mount the bird in-combat?"

Exactly, the flashy moves should be earned
I would like there to be skills, but I agree. I thought focus mode would be terrible, but it seems really interesting.
Thats why MH is basically two parallel franchises with mainline and portable. We zig zag between grounded and flashy for each release :D
Your enthusiasm when covering Wilds is infectious. Looking forward to your continued coverage with all this new info coming out.
Shields UP! Let us pray the Gunlance is good
As soon as I saw this I was like I wonder how fast till rurikahn post lol
A more grounded and "slowish" paced hunt experience is what I want from Wilds. This gets me hyped
Yup. I hated rise. Quit after 3 hrs. Too fast.
I hope it is. Seeing focus mode allowing you to just change direction mid combo has me a little worried, but I’m optimistic
2 things that I think are possible:
a) You can't sharpen/consume items on a running Seikret... only a walking one
b) You can't direct a Seikret if you're sharpening or consuming items.
Both still give you a more reliable way to run away from a fight and restock/heal/craft/collect etc. than in World/Iceborne, which I'm kinda divided on, coz on the one hand it helps to avoid stuff like Deviljho during farming monsters, but on the other hand, running away feels like breaking the dance with the monster that is the game.

Wyrmstake is back but with focus mode I think it will be easier to land it because of the targeting reticle from Focus MOde

So much aiming.
That Gunlance shot looks like a Miniature Bullet Barrage, based on the sounds it fired the Wyrmstake and a Full Burst, but concentrated on one point, which is a dope idea for its Focus Strike.
For anyone wondering, focus mode on a wound gives you a 21.1% increase to damage on hit. Focus mode will be absolutely great on wake up if buffs to damage are additive instead multiplicative.
I really don't need the "glowing weakspot" effect here. The visual of the wound is already a natural and immersive indicator, like the series has always had. I hope there's an option to turn it off in focus mode.
Steampunk shield design gives hope for GL explosions on guard-points or focus-guards!
That music is like I'm a merc in a prehistoric bar and I'm fucking HYPED
Prehistoric? I think medieval fits better imo.
Also, I think they really upped our character run/movement animations. In World it looked kinda funky, a bit floaty. Here it looks natural, the moment when he starts moving he goes from slow to faster animations and I am glad they put some work into it as well.
Wounding by continuesly attacking? *Laughs in Dual Blades, Bow and Insect Glaive*
Cries in great sword.
Well we don’t know all the specifics about the wounding, it might have some kind of scaling. Like it takes fewer hits from a Greatsword to wound a monster than an insect glaive
@@Kegaran it probably has scaling. Like Greatsword doing it in 3 hits while dual blades need 9
@@yourdad5799 that would be way too low I think
more like 6-8 for greatsword and then go from there for other weapons, maybe even more
@@thephoenixfromtheashes I used lower number to get the point across but you're right. It should requare more effort
Oh hell yeah thw fiest thing I noticed when watching the videos was the music aswell. Abolutely love it
I definitely agree with the concerns that certain actions, such as sharpening while mounted, could trivialize some aspects of the game. I'm still pretty iffy on the ability to walk while healing. Having to learn the recovery time on a monster's attacks and when to take advantage of them to heal while stood in place felt like a big part of learning fights. Even with how slowly you walk while healing, it is enough to dodge many attacks and feels silly when you just slowly step out of the way of impending doom while nonchalantly chugging a potion. Definitely not a deal-breaker though, this game looks amazing
I think my favorite part of brining two weapons will be bringing two of the same weapon, just different elements or something. At least at first, swapping between phial types, shelling types, ammo, etc. sounds really interesting.
I also think being able to pivot that much on GS is huge. I've never quite gotten the hang of GS, but now I might give it another try if it's easier to hit my charged attacks.
No one is talking about how bad ass that armor is.
Probably because it's pretty normal.
@@marmyeater You dont think it looks awesome?
@@kryptonian5539 No more awesome than the leather and mail we start with in World, or the Jagras Armor. It's a little cool, like pretty much all armor, but it's the normal level of cool early armor gets.
@@marmyeater I mean id wear it :P
I agree the armour is badass, but it's probably not being talked about because we've seen it since the very first trailer, and every trailer since.
Thing on the sliding slash for SnS. It looks a bit like he's sliding down the trail of saliva. Chatacabra creates slides maybe???
Is that a pendant on the great sword? I like those in world so that would be cool if they brought them back.
Man the 'World' vibe from all the little details in this is awesome, it truly looks like this will be everything I wanted from another MH. Capcom u legends :D
i love being able to sharpen while mounted. it walks very slow anyway but if the monster runs i can sharpen and then immediately start following. this is looking awesome
I can see you're putting a lot of work at the gym!
Looking good bro!
Rurikhan what are your pc specs if you don't mind me asking? If you are talking about upgrading your GPU, I'm kind of worried for the rest of us mere mortals. Jokes aside, great vid man. Love the content :)
One thing I'm a bit nervous about with focus mode is if it's a toggle or a limited resource that you have to build up/wait to charge. Part of the skill of a weapon I felt in previous MH games was your positioning because of the limited movement once you started attacking. This focus mode allowing you to easily direct your attack (for example doing a complete 180 while charging the GS) definitely makes it more accessible, but I feel like it also hurts the integrity of the weapon skill... I'm all for making things more accessible, and I don't want to come off as gatekeeping, but idk, just worried this might be a step far because it takes away how the weapons felt and what they required of the player to make the most out of them.
I agree about the GS stuff. Not upset that they're trying to make it better/ more accessible, but for me it feel like they're taking away a little bit of the charm and skill of the weapon. Also worried it's going to make true charge slash not as satisfying because it will be easier to do. In the end, I think it will be fine and it's just me being an old head about it
The level of detail is so impressive. When the hunter drinks a potion, you can see the green liquid shacking inside the glass...
I also do not like instant crafting "in combat." ( can be instant outside )
And i play LBG and HBG. There should be some risk to crafting items or ammo in combat. Have the hunter stop, kneel down, do a little animation or longer animation depending on amount, then stand back up when finished.
I would normally be a bit annoyed at being able to sharpen so fast on seikret, but I doubt that capcom would add such a mechanic without giving monsters tools to counter it. Maybe I'm wrong but this isn't the rise team
I'm sure it's been mentioned here before, but just in case I came at the right time. I absolutely appreciate the attention to detail, when it comes to the potion or mega potion, you can see the Hunter actually drink it, and the potion depletes when empty. I love that Detail!
Can’t wait to come back to Monster Hunting again! 😎👍
I actually really like wyrmstake blast for the double explosions, and focus mode could solve the pain and suffering that is actually landing it on the monster
The primary weapon is what you are carrying/using and secondary is on your mount until you swap. They said that later on there will be systems that you unlock related to the weapon swap so maybe some skills buff your secondary weapon only or something. Or a skill that is like the swap scrolls skills, where it has 2 different effects based on what weapon slot you're using.
I would appreciate it if some environmental traps are you have to shoot them with slinger ammo or use the hook slonger, not you can just use either of them to trigger it.
Focus mode is optional for the wounds, to see them or use the focus attacks on them, but it letting you aim is what has me interested. Hopefully some moves that only hit a certain way can be changed with aiming. Think like ls final spirit slash where you aim higher to not hit the feet or lance high thrust aiming low to hit a like balahara or snake wyvern tail that's too low for the high thrusts that are your bread and butter combo. Also, multiple wounds on the monster at once so players in a team can each make them and not fight over them as much.
We don't need a boomerang attack, we need najarala and tidal back so tidal can have his bouncing water shots.
Focus mode putting the red glow on the wounds is from the ground up accessibility built into the wounding system. As someone with not the best eyesight, I love this.
You can hear the wyrmstake ticks, so it's not wyrmstake blast. I do agree, they should have spent the axtra second to show the entire animation with it exploding.
That's proably the hbg focus attack.
You could aim your guards in world too, you just press the other trigger while guarding and your hunter will turn to face the direction of your camera. It's pretty handy when you need to swing your guard all the way around.
The walking speed in GS defilityers is faster than previous game and im all for it.
17:23 I’m pretty sure the sliding slash was in Rise/Sunbreak too. It could be different, but it looks like that rising slash and falling shield bash move.
i cant wait to see new damage skills centered around the wound sytem, things like create wounds quicker or do more damage to wounds
This was such a pleasant surprise. Can't wait for the rest of the weapon showcases!
More and more satisfying the more that's shown. I doubt it might happen but I just want one weapon from the spin offs or something new entirely.
Thanks for the breakdown unc! I'm so excited for this game fr
Looks Awesome brother, cant wait to hunt with you, working on a discord for my old community
2:21 in the bottom of the mini map you can see the icon of the "village" i believe (?)
iirc you previously mention about seamless world with village and hunting area
I like that you can sharpen while mounted during _tracking_ but it does make it almost free to do during combat. Gonna have to wait and see if there's any countermeasures somewhere else in the design that account for it.
The soundtrack is insanely good, once again they’ve outdone themselves.
The best "wound" mechanic was in MH Online. By the end of the fight, the monster is all cover of wounds and bloody. That was really a nice mechanic tho
It’d be awesome if they were able to incorporate hitzone values into the creation of weak points.
Consecutive hits on the head generate a weak point, but consecutive hits with a blunt weapon create a more potent weak point. Same goes for weak points on the tail with severing weapons
All weapons benefit from the stronger weak points. I think that would incentivize more variety in what you bring to a hunt
They have yet to show of ANY of the elders we're going to fight in Wilds. With the ludicrous detail they decided to put onto this monster's butt, I cannot WAIT to see what the Elders will look like!!!!
😍 looking good
Thank you for info and have good days 🍻
Damn the visuals are so crispy. Aside from World Monster hunter has never realy been a visual focused game because Art style always made up for lack of fedelity but this looks like one of the better looking games ive seen from CAPCOM.
Makes sense, World is their best selling game ever, and this is the first MH entry since where they can make full use of visuals. So Capcom splurging here makes a lot of sense.
I know a lot of people see this as a "lesser game" but the wound is like how dauntless deals with wounds. The only difference is that in wilds all weapons can wound and not certain weapons
Focus mode is basically, ranged weapon aim mode, but for every weapon.
I agree about it requiring more skill to sharpen in combat, but I actually propose the question of "does it natter?"
How often, outside of your first few low rank monsters, do you actually NEED to sharpen while in the fight vs doing it between the monster moving locations? They've given so many ways to handle sharpness & handicraft from even a bit later low rank these last few games that it's not really an issue anymore
crazy that charged slash can just 180 now. I am curious where the skill expression from GS will come now.
I also love the new wounding mechanic. Have some bad memories fighting Safi in world and players just refusing to help tenderize.
Really excited to see Bow. Also respect to Ruri holding strong to his opinion. Its wrong, but he's entitled to being wrong.
the graphics have finally impressed me, my hype is unparalleled
Can't wait to see my Stick N Bug!!! Let's GO! Guarding? Don't need to guard if I'm flying in the air!! 😎🤪😎
Yeah and give us some cool new bugs!
I can see a potential gameplay loop of attack to apply wounds, use focus strike for big damage and repeat.
I don't see it as a problem necessarily, I'm just curious about how it will feel. I mean we only will find out when we get hands on
"is this a new move for the sword and shield?" Ruri, focus mode attacks are all new.
Ps.the focus mode attack for bowgun appears closest to the silkbind counter but is otherwise completely new.
The reticle for focus mode expands when the weapon can reach the monster
The Metroid game series also has two flavors; fast and action, and slow(er) and scientific
17:17
Not a slope. He is sliding on the monster’s saliva, which makes more sense. It’s just like Velkhana whenever there’s ice on the ground during the fight.
It could be interesting if sharpening on your Seikret means the Seikret can only move at its slowest speed and if there was some sort of consequence if your Seikret gets hit/injured such as your Seikret being unusable until the end of combat.
So excited for this game! The fidelity and having world mechanics again is gonna be great. You’ve been making me want to return to world again Ruri and Start a fresh character on PC for the first time haha. Cheers man have a good day!
I know the sharpen topic is an opinion, but there is one very specific point that I think is important to consider:
In every monster hunter game before World, you could easily just run to a different section of the map mid fight and sharpen your weapon with absolutely no worry, because each section is separated by loading screens.
TLDR: Sharpening weapons has never actually been hard or about skill at all.
Depending on the monster, just “changing the zone” could be quite dangerous, and healing required more commitment.
7:35 Sharpening mid fight does take a little bit of skill but for most weapons it's not at the forefront of concern. It most likely is for Ruri because Gun-Lance is probably the weapon that loses sharpness the fastest along with dualblades dropping from purple to blue in a flash whereas many other weapons take 3 times as long to lose the same. Also since World speed sharpen has been super easy it slot in
the sharpening while mounted well if it forces the Seikret into a walking speed for the hunter to keep their weapon steady when sharpening then i wouldnt mind it
