    They needed to add a few lower rank new monsters, like Zamtrios, or Great Jaggi. In Iceborne, I remember having a few early monsters to be able to fight that were new which made the experience earlier seem better.

    I've always said this.. difficulty in MH is proportional to your equipment. Very late game monsters aside, G-Rank has always been about as hard as High Rank if you're equipped. That's why some of the early game "easy" monsters like Velociprey tend to "surprise" the player with their damage (and new speed), because you're playing G rank with High rank defense.
    Yes, it is harder in terms to AI, movesets, speed and stuff but in the numbers game, it ends up being almost the same thing.

      @@FelisImpurrator Sure, assuming you won't ever get hit :D
      What I mean is that once you're mid G-Rank it starts to feel more and more like high rank because yea.. the monsters deal more damage but you have more armor, the monsters have more health but you deal more damage.
      It is slightly harder than high rank in terms of sheer numbers but it's a lot harder because of their aggressiveness and new moves.
      Like, I guarantee most of the G Rank in Sunbreak (at least during the story) won't be even close to how hard Advanced Apexes are in vanilla Rise high rank because they already feel like fighting G rank monsters with high rank gear.

    • @jd61215
      @jd61215 2 года назад

      Very true, plus I've always thought that people forget that with each coming MH game we are playing we are getting better and better because the core gameplay loop is the same across each game minus tweaks to monster speeds.
      We aren't new MH players anymore, we all have improved with each game. Same thing runs within the Souls franchise

    I had one funny thing happen with Fiorayne.
    Me and my wife play together, and we did the campaign just us two (I use charge blade, she's a hammer).
    At one point we had a random monster come across us while we were fighting Garangolm. And I was shocked when I saw Fiorayne get the mount.
    I was a little sad we didn't get it, but hey, we can focus part damage while she's attacking it.
    Then I was really shocked when the monster turned around, and ran away from the fight. They got halfway across the map before Fiorayne teleported off of it, back to us.
    I think the monster kidnapped Fiorayne.

      Thats not really possible since you look wrong at it for example pokemon only needs to change skins attacks or stuff are the same for all of them.
      Monster hunter creates living animals in the game so they need to create behavior, movements, attacks and many things that makes the monster special but even in nature are this limited.
      A lion moves like a cat that's just how nature is so if they start changing the skins of monster would people complain its just diablos but looks different since its not possible to create something completely new constantly when you create living moving things.
      Sure would be cool to see more new monsters but you need to understand that its not that easy to create a infinite amount of new creatures that are different.

So returning old monsters makes sense. ( like Odogaron.) Sure you could make the visual design very unique & hyena-like but if it fighting it feels too familiar ppl might complain it's a rethread.
      I agree it'd be amazing to have all new monsters but it'd require a lot more concepting, animation & combat design work to make them distinct from what we have had before!

These quests serve to essentially get familiar with the follower. This follower will have a few quests you need to do with them until they're fully unlocked to join you in support surveys.

      Yea, I'm with you! Every MH game I've played always introduces the G exclusive monsters at like G3 or G4, the first 2-3 ranks are always the trash mons. Same was applied to HR, the loop is to start Master/G Rank with the easier monsters then you get into the new ones.

    • @imatiu
      @imatiu 2 года назад

      Take it from someone that used both DB and Hammer in Sunbreak, most monsters don't feel too slow for either weapon.
      Any good damage option for DB requires you to stay somewhat stationary and while that means most early monsters are just a punching bag, stronger monsters have enough options to make you think or get clapped out of the air or out of a move.
      Hammer meanwhile got a boost to the Brave Hammer playstyle so you are more mobile and have better options, including a short dodge that allows you to maintain the charge so you can be very aggressive, add to this that stuns are easier to get with Hammer and it feels much better than base Rise, things like Shagaru are still a pain since the openings are so small though.
      Honestly to me monsters feel right, not Fredom Unite levels of... Well FU, but not as easy as most of rise base game felt. Sunbreak feels like GU but scaled for single player, lots of resources and tools on either side and the monsters can be abused with specific strategies that simplify things (Mizutsune still gets destroyed by anything with a counter) but hard fights still require you to be careful or get carted.

Especially Sand Barioth and Stygian (or Jade Barroth)...oh well. Maybe some of them will come back in a title update...one of them does say subspecies.

    I've been absolutely loving Sunbreak. I didn't realize the issues with pacing, but after hearing your opinion, in retrospect, I think I experienced a tiny bit of that.
    BUT - As a mostly "new world" hunter, I LOVED getting the anticipation and pay off leading up to Gore and Shagaru. Such cool monsters and I had only really fought them a couple times in GU. So from a "new to monster hunter games" perspective, that on it's own made it way worth for me.

    Definitely agree that its taking a while to reach the 'real' DLC content, but given my long hiatus, everything does feel relatively fresh.
    As a LS user, the new early switch skill has resulted in my switching my playstyle, as the Spirit Helm feels weaker.
    I am a big fan of the follower system, as I mainly play solo. I am not sure which weapon is best for each follower, but they are handy to have setting traps, flashbombs, riding other monsters etc.

I obviously have not played but you even said yourself you guys barely even grinded g rank armor. I understand you had to go through the game for review but that's not how most players are gonna do it they are gonna make their armor and weapons as they play. So I imagine by the time we get new monsters it will feel well paced. Great discussion/review though.

  • @darthvaderreviews6926

    Judging by the talk about Afflicted Monsters and how they haven't seen stuff like Afflicted Gore yet, it seems like the Rise team has doubled down on essentially not finishing the endgame until Title Update 2 which is just... _Why?_ I don't get it. To an extent Iceborne's Guiding Lands did the same thing and it wasn't exactly fantastic there either but at least it was a relatively minor tuneup for Augmented weapons, not like half the Tempered system was locked out.
    It's not as egregious as base Rise having only 2 Elder Dragons on launch but there's so much wrong with this update philosophy. We don't _NEED_ 5 monsters per update, it's not like Seething Bazel is getting anyone hyped to return in the update so why not have it as a little extra launchday content?

    I just got to hr4 and honestly I'm really disappointed in the pacing, there's only been like what 3-4 new monsters since I started and it just feels like I'm playing the exact base game. No new switch skills yet and some of these armor designs don't even differ that much from the HR counterpart. Iceborne genuinely felt like a new game and they introduced new monsters at a very welcoming pace. The new maps are a delight to explore though and seeing the new moves from monsters are great, but man the early gam just feels way too slow and tedious to some extent.
