game is not even out yet?
already there =)
Just saw this shout-out, much appreciated man! Really means a lot. Keep up the amazing work on these reviews mate
subbed
I love that the top review on the game's Steam page is "No handler"
Sound tip. You can change the music for each location of the town. Many tracks and some to unlock. Not fantastic but nice to change things up. It also plays for people that join your game.
Yes sir. I had forgotten but a person below reminded me of that. Returning to it now its not great...but hey its an option.
I bought dlc so it sounds like a metal concert is going off but there is a lot of music in the base game already though
ACG is an absolute unit. Buys a copy of a game with his money when he gets a review code, shoutouts other creators and doesn't use stupid numbers to determine if a game is good.
Thank you for being you man.
He is close to a million subs soon. Compared to his RUclips earnings, buying a key is a drop in the bucket to earn goodwill of the viewers. Don’t get it twisted.
Both what the guy above me said, and he pats himself on the back for it in every. Single. Video.
Numbers in what context?
Gotta love sycophants like this dude, lmao he’s just doing that so chumps like you will eat it up
Monster hunter will always be one of my favorite franchises just to chill and have a great time slaying giant beasts and having fun with my friends with. Such a unique experience that many have tried to replicate but none seem to get it just right
I personally found the music to be arguably the best in the series, but the complaint about the hub music is totally valid. At some point I had to switch the song playing, and now I often switch the hub theme so it doesn't get stuck in my head.
That's because you're a weeb.
@@chef4025 So are most people these days
@@ScenetheUndead No

@@justyouraveragegamer5065 damn Japanese won culture game
MH World was my first game in the series and, wow! was that game awesome. Still playing to this day with at least 500 hours clocked in. For sure going to check this game out as well, maybe with some tempered expectations.
I put about 1000 hours into world. Love rise but I actually appreciated worlds crafting a little more
@@Loztc0ld how lol
@@gamesmaster1060 me and my wife played it together all the way through. She's a slow crawl and is a collector so that was basically the first 500. The last 500 was in the guiding lands. I think that was the beat addition they added.
Goodluck with apex
@@gamesmaster1060 i think he meant how the game was crafted, not the actual in-game crafting
Low graphical fidelity tends to make good devs compensate with stylistic flair. Monster Hunter Rise is exactly that kind of game, and getting to play it at a minimum 60FPS on mid end hardware is a big deal. It doesn't need gimmicks like RTX. The visuals are conveyed through the design, and the low demand on hardware is good because Monster Hunter is performance dependent.
Agreed. I like when games go more for graphical and artistic style and design rather than just pure realism.
And thats exactly why MHW failed in its stylistic design in my opinion. Most of the weapon/armor designs were incredibly bland. Thankfully Iceborne turned it up a notch.
@@Brutalious I agree, imagine if a new Monster Hunter game followed this art style but, was made with the PS5 in mind for example.
the grounds, just look so flat and from 2012, while im glad it runs better than world did at start, its a tough sell for me after seeing that, i guess it is a port though
@@Brutalious MHW did not fail. The slap on weapon designs is a separate issue from the art style, also amor design was awesome what are you talking about?
MHW art style and aesthetics were realistic and atmospheric like it used to be with MH before MH tri and P3rd. People who say MHW looks bad and colorless say that because they are used to this portable MH style.
I put several hundred hours into this game on Switch and absolutely love it (as I love all MH games). I really wish you were able to transfer your save file because I would gladly buy the game on PC. Thanks for the great review as always!
Same man. They did that survey a while back asking if people would wanted cross play and save transfers. Then they said they heard that people wanted it, but it wasn't possible. My guess as to why it wasn't possible is because of Nintendo.
@@StryderX20 Yeah, I took that survey too and was hoping it was a hint of what’s to come. Was very sad when they announced it wasn’t gonna happen. You are probably right!
@@StryderX20 The Witcher 3 is compatible with cross save between pc and Switch. So I guess it's not necesarily Nintendo stopping them, but a technical issue.
@@DrKrFfXx000000000000 It's very clearly Nintendo. Because the DLC is not out yet, if they were to allow cross-save, everyone would be jumping ship to play the DLC on PC. Now, I am stuck playing it on Switch because I ain't replaying through the base game again.
@@DrKrFfXx000000000000 Yea so is Divinity: Original Sin 2. It has cross save across both Switch and PC too.
I took some time to just focus on Rampage (and developing the Rampage weapons), and really really started to dig it. When that counter gong goes off 🔥🔥🔥
Interesting. it just never stuck to me
As a PC player, im kinda holding out for a true sequel to MH:World, not that Rise doesn’t seem good, but I’m less interested in playing a Switch port with the power of PC.
Missing out on fun gameplay. Your loss.
@ACG
Did you not know you can teleport around town by holding a button, You said the training room is cumbersome to get to, but its literally two button presses in the UI
I started MH with freedom unite, played all the games since, and honestly I think that world was kind of a spin off for me, made to appeal more people, while rise is more in line with what I would expect from an MH game, but with all the craze that came with world (and so many people starting the series on it) I can understand why some would see rise as something different that what they were hoping for, it all comes down to previous experience I guess. Anyway I'm gonna enjoy the hell out of rise PC, and I hope others will too.
atta boy
I put over 100 hours easily into the switch version. Now that the Steam version will be out this week, THEN the Steam Deck soon....hoo, boy what a time to be alive.
Why would you punish yourself
@@Exel3nce what punishing?
@@mytop3467 to play rise that much... which also has very little content
@@Exel3nce Very little content is really subjective. I didn't even beat all of the monsters until around 45 hours in, which is nothing to scoff at. Sure it doesn't have the same amount of content as MHW, but the event quests have helped with that and the expansion comes in a few months
@@Iives.tesIa-officiaI its far from being subjective...
Put countless hours into World, which was my first MH game. So happy we're getting these on PC now!
I dont always buy a game on day zero, but with monster hunter. I think its a damn done deal! No questions about whether I might have fun or not, its an all in one package
Small note for recommending other channels in your videos - I love it and think it's a great gesture, however would suggest doing it near the end, as my personal thought process when you add it in the beggining is 'Well, i've just started watching this and I'm not gonna stop just to check that channel out' and by the end I would probably have forgotten about it...
This was my 2021 GOTY. It held my attention for 90 hours. A rarity these days.
Something small but to me very significant. Install size is a quarter of what MH world is. Friends can download it in a day. And even when Expansions are released it probably won't take up 50gb.
You can fast travel to the training area by just pressing 3 buttons open your menu go to "move around village" then dojo easy
You can also change the music in town and in every single area
The key thing about Rise on PC for people that played on Switch are mods. Rise, while being the best MH game in terms of gameplay, it's also one of the most barebones when it comes to content and endgame loop/activity. Mods can really introduce much needed armor set skins, actual equipment from Apex monsters and most important, randomly generated quests (like Investigations from World) because for the first time ever in a MH game I ran out of quests to complete and that happened at the 95 hour mark.
there are mods currently ? or are mod teams already working on something ?
@@amini011 People are just expecting mods based on what happened with World on PC.
@@amini011 We'll probably get a lot of mods for Rise. Giving what people achieved in World and what people usually do with other games I wouldn't be surprised if we saw full conversion of monsters from World to Rise. But just simple things like Quest Editors/Generators would do the trick for me since the biggest problem with Rise really is the fact that there are a finite number of quests and they aren't a lot compared to what MH usually delivers.
If I wasn't still broke af from moving and struggling to find work (lolwut), I'd be picking this up SOOO fast.
I liked MH:W well enough, but I've been dying for a Modern 'OG' Monster Hunter.
The “Hanging around just chilling until you beat them to death” ….damn when you put it like that I guess we are the bad guys !
Good review, frustrating never seeing your LS gauge empowered though lol
I have never played a MH game. You know I might give this one a go.
If there was cross save I would definitely buy again for PC. Would be great to play this at 60 fps
Got this game today as a gift because rise and sunbreak were on sale for their last digital event (love my friends who got me it). I started playing mon hun back in the 3ds days with mh4u and generations. Man, you wanna talk about grindy and so much content, mh4u was LOADED with monsters to hunt with each a weakness to certain weapon types and each having a different kit, it was NUTS. Mon hun world was this super pretty beautiful takeover of the older monhuns where there was no loading between zones and that everything looked amazing. The soundtrack sounded amazing and the effects were shockingly awesome. Rise brings that though to a different viewpoint with less focus on the effects and pretty environments to a much more open world of possibilities and new doors to open with the addition of multiple sets that were familiar to those who played the older games. Generations integrated the sending off your palico to trade/train/gather resources and better yet, you could be your palico for specific quests while your hunter would be in town, so it made your palico kit matter may more than just "oh bombs sounds good". I think every monhun is a buy but due to the commonality of games popping up and out into the freespace with new ideas and better features (like skippable cutscenes... talking to you, WORLD), it makes you wonder if you are playing each game right given the amount of content inside of the game itself!
If I'd recommend any Monster Hunter game to start with, it would definitely be Rise. It's very beginner friendly and had some of the most chill hunts I've done especially solo.
Its funny that he said he doesnt like the name "palamute" when its just the name of a real dog breed "malamute" but with a p. Just like how palico is just calico.
🤪
great review. had like 600hrs of gameplay on switch. still hoping that they would increase the total number of players in lobby on PC version. mhw had 16 while mhr only has 4.
wait 4 players per lobby ? lmao
Yeah but you can only hunt with 4 so does that really matter?
Honestly, the classical Japanese aesthetics don't really interest me here, but I guess if we someday manage to completel MH:W with my pal, I might give this one a shot.
Maybe the aesthetics of its expansion will interest you, it's going for a medieval gothic horror aesthetic with monsters based on werewolves and vampires.
You can't beat MHW. There is no end to the grind!
@@benicholson22 I did, there is an end...... after 1400ish hours
At this point you probably wont even see my comment.
I've been lurking on your channel for reviews ever since you were at the very start with your channel / career. After all these years, you are still my go-to reviewer, hands down bro. No comparison.
Actually had to stop myself from putting too much time on the Switch version because the Capcom leaks happened and it said the game was coming to PC. Happy I didn't too because it looks incredible! Definitely a day one pickup for me as a huge fan of the series, and glad to see a PC port done right after the atrocity that was FF7
Do you think it could make its way to other consoles some day? Or it’s a lost fight?
@@andyespinozam Seeing as all previous monster hunter games that were exclusive to Nintendo systems haven't, I wouldn't get your hopes up. The portable guys are a different team from the console guys, and it sounds like it only came to PC because it didn't take them much effort to port it on their new engine. The console guys are working hard on Monster Hunter World 2 right now which is apparently releasing next year, so I'd just be excited for that!
I just purchased this recently on Switch to play with my brother. Seeing this beautiful frame rate, I may just have to double dip. 😁 As always, appreciate the review ACG.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. It's a bummer save data doesn't transfer over though, that'd be sweet..if not for that it would be a day one for me.
@Izaya Kresnik I'm sure a may end up buying it though. So many games, bro.
@@dthomasfromncI feel that. So many games, so little time man. Wheres a hyperbolic time chamber when ya need one?
@Izaya Kresnik exactly!!! I'm juggling work, school, youtube gaming channel...I need a clone of myself to fill in for work & school.😂😂😂
@@dthomasfromnc Heck yeah, clone does all the heavy lifting while we game it up, seems fair to me. xD
I'll be sure to drop by and check out the channel man!
After World I've been looking forward to this game and I was looking for reviews so thanks for making this decision easier!
You sound unlike your usual bubbly self in this review, Karak. Here's hoping you're all good. Great review as always - looking forward to the Horizon/Elden reviews.
I’ve always wanted to try the Monster Hunter! Just got holiday PC
Ya gonna have a great time trust me! Welcome to mh community!
World and Rise seem like stepping stones for the series. I'm looking forward to seeing where they move next. Personally I missed the fidelity of World in the Rise Demo of PC so it would be nice if they could get that fidelity on PC still while also serving up a version for Switch with lower fidelity graphics.
im grinding for that 999 in Iceborne and i love the game but rise to me seems meh...They can't hide was a game dev for a portable toy spec and audience and up scalated how much they could. To mee it seems a bad japanese anime mix no sense for kids.
All my friends and me who started MH in World say the same thing pretty much and no one of us is buying it.
@@kerathil6934 Part of the issue is that they don't have high fidelity textures and models for a lot of the monsters and armor. That's why they started over in MHW. I think they're trying to bridge the gap and make a really scalable version of the game, but it will take time. Hopefully the next main series entry can give us that, but who knows.
@@kerathil6934 it honestly hurts to see the same exact take from MHWorld players, over and over again. It's always graphics, graphics, graphics, Rise not good cuz graphics.
I enjoyed world, I have 1600 hours in it, but even I have to admit that many of the players that started with world, continually miss the point on why Monster Hunter has survived for 18 years. Let me give you a hint: It definately wasnt because of the series looking like a PS2 game for 4 generations straight.
6:25, as long as they got those Rajang horns hitting right, it doesnt even matter what the sound track is hitting for anywhere else. This game looks great on the PC though damn if only I could play it.
Just like World, I'd double dip if there was some sort of cross save. You spend a crazy amount of time in these games.
Cheers Karak.
yes
Given the Switch's limited performance, this is gonna be a blast replaying this game on a PC with modern specs.
I’m really happy to see rise on pc, I’ll probably wait to get it until the expansion comes out. The switch version is solid enough for me for the time being
This is one of the best the switch has to offer xD
I bought the switch for botw, wasn't expecting much else until fire emblem came out and a slew of other things, then we got monster hunter. ngl I'm happy I bought a switch.
Gosh, I love that this game came to PC, but I also wish it came to the consoles too. I would've loved to play this on Playstation
Glad to see this actually came to PC!
Karak You missed opportunity to do whole review in Black and white filter effect. the Seven Samurai style baby ;) Still great review man !!!! Thank you.
Have not played the series since 3 but this looks a lot more accessible to me. May have to check it out.
I'm listening Rise' soundtrack just like that, it's super good idk what're you talking about
Only question i have, does the pausing work playing solo? When comparing this game to World, the ability to pause the game, as ive at least seen in the PC demo, is a huge decider. Not everyone lives alone and can always assure 30-50 minute interruption free, hunts. Call me entitled but i would like to be able to pause my single player experience in 2022(yes im also looking at you Call of Duty Vanguard Zombies).
If you're playing offline you can pause
1:00 THANKS for saying that, when it got released I heard nobody mention the graphics. The graphics bothered me, I played Monster Hunter World. Good to see it's not just me who has this opinion on the graphics x)
I would’ve happily bought this if it had cross play/cross save. Got too many hours on the switch version to start all over again.
You can change the music in the town just so you know, ACG. It's hidden in the labyrinth of areas and things to do, but yeah. Just thought I'd point that out.
This game and its upcoming expansion are the main reason i want a switch pro. I put at least 100 hours into rise on the switch, but man 30fps is painful after spending ao much time on ps5
I dont have a gaming pc, so sadly im out of luck for this version
Yeah. Sunbreak ill play 100% on PC so yeah... its a must for me
Now im imagining the whole Sesame Street crew going to town on each other in a massive brawling session, guts, feather and fur everywhere.
Thanks for this, excellent as always.
Monster parts can be gotten in Rise without having to trap or destroy parts, which is a first in the series. Breaking, cutting or capturing yields various chances of getting them, but you are not stuck with one method to gather the materials now. I personally think it's a step back as it encourages more unga bunga rather than aiming at certain parts, but i guess it's part of capcom's streamlining process.
Basically it was going unga bunga with extra steps
more unga bunga but with attitude
I only played a little bit of Monster Hunter World and that's it and even then, it's been a while. I already have Monster Hunter Rise for the Nintendo Switch, which is where I will start and then I'll jump into Monster Hunter World. Monster Hunter Rise still offers a challenging experience, while also being a good starting point for newcomers. The Wirebug allows for some additional traversal options and it enables players to scale hard to reach areas. It also allows for some aerial combat maneuvers. However, as good as the game is, the music is a bit lacking, especially in the hub area. The constant notifications are very frustrating and irritating. I wished that there was an option to disable them somehow. With that aside, I'm going to eventually start playing the Switch version at some point. Thanks once again Karak for another detailed, honest and unbiased review!
Harder difficulty settings lol?
@@slentara1 What I should've said is that the game can be challenging while also being a good starting point for newcomers.
From 30fps to 144fps. Yeah worth it to double dip.
The demo felt so good at locked 144fps so I'm really looking forward to this. The game is a dream to play
I’m playing it at 240 fps and it feels great
ACG you are the best man!! wish you would put time stamps though haha your review setup is ideal for it
If they add cross save, I’ll buy it again!
Karak I REALLY appreciate you surfacing my favorite game series of all time.
This game just looks so fun and back to a more classic Monster Hunter after World
It's really not closer to classic MH than World, lol. Except for the map design.
@@Antarctide this
@@Antarctide op is correct you are wrong.
Almost a 20 minute PC port review without a single word about M&K controls.
Great review, definitely picking this up on PC (despite having a boxed copy for switch I've not played, LoL) I only got it for the switch as it was cheap and I have it in case the power goes out or something. Was stuck for a whole night without power earlier this year, so having the switch there and fully charged is great.
I LOVE kimura's BGM. I actually listened to it outside the game for a while when the game first came out on switch
I wish it had cross save. I would rather play on my PC but I have way too many hours invested in the switch version
I was thinking of getting this, but when I found out I couldn't use my current Switch saved character without starting over... no thanks.
If I've never played a MH game before, would you recommend starting with World or with Rise?
World by a mile
Rise is a much better game to start.
Right as I'm about to purchase a computer with a 3060TI .... This is going to make cooling off after my days of internship facing death, sadness, loss of brain functions ........... Bearable :D
After releasing on the Switch, this seems like it would be a fun game to try out on the Steam Deck.
I have around 80 hours on the Switch and have tried the PC demo. It's a fantastic game and I love the combat. The PC demo ran really well on my computer. I do have two gripes about the gameplay however. The hitsparks taking so much of the screen makes it hard to even see the monster that you are hitting a lot of times.
Also, when another big monster shows up, the monster you are fighting immediately starts a turf war with that other monster. Once you wyvern ride to attack the other, the other monster always runs to a different area while in other MH games, there would be multiple monsters in the same area at once creating chaos. This pretty much makes dung bombs useless and I think it's part of the MH formula that should come back in Sunbreak or MH6. Other than that, really looking forward to playing this on PC again.
I'm glad the monsters run away in this one. In other games sometimes it would be too chaotic all the monsters fighting in one area especially if an elder dragon shows up and instead of all the monsters fighting each other they fight you instead. Sometimes it got a bit annoying especially if you are just trying to grind out an armor piece and you have replayed the same mission 4-5 times without the loot you need dropping. It can be frustrating. Plus it's realistic that the monster just wants to be left alone in peace lol
@@devonjames7999 Dung poding the wrong monster was annoying too.
Is this a good first game to try if it would be my first entry in the series? I’ve played world, but only just a bit. Enjoyed it but ran out of friends to play with lol
I think it's much more concise than world, less cutscenes
It's easy mode for beginners so yes
It's the most beginner friendly in the series. Tho I must say, after playing this, it may be hard to go back to previous games. The mobility rise gives you is something you'll miss when you try and play the older games.
This is the best MH to get into. Significantly easier than MHW due to the fact that you can ride your dog and heal/sharpen to be almost completely safe. Plus you have a lot more mobility in general to dodge attacks. Also, like Karak said, you get into the action MUCH faster and don't have to do a million gathering herb quests at the start lol
This was my first experience with Monster Hunter and I absolutely love this game. It’s a blast once you get into it and the combat is fun. I really love the fast pace of this game since that’s what grabbed my attention originally.
Signed up to Writing On Games and yup, damned fine content. Thanks for the shoutout
Looks like I might finally have to give this game ago, never bought into the previous ones. Great review.
They're amazing games, if you do get it put at least 10 hunts into the game even if you don't like it as that should be enough to learn how to hunt to a basic level. When i first played in 2009 I didn't really like it as it was too hard but after I learn't the controls and game better I loved it
Monster Hunter World was my first MonHun game and I put just over 1000 hours into the game. It's an incredible game and has me very excited for Rise. It feels a bit different than your average action game, but if it clicks with you, it's an amazing experience that simply never stops being fun. Highly recommended.
Try the demo
adore this franchise, played every game since psp. wish I could get the pc version, but my daughters due date is so soon, the priorities hurt 😢
Wow. Way to put your family before Monster Hunter Rise. Disappointed.
Lol I feel your pain 100% but it’s worth it trust me!
Almost none of these systems are new they have been pulled from the other titles and that's great love to see systems I used years ago and miss!
That fishing boat joke murdered me, gg.
pretty good review could use a little more negative talk maybe though as this feels like it perfect outside being hard on newer players and annoying tutorial pop ups for not.
Will try this out but have a feeling MHW might still be my favourite, I really liked just taking in the environment, fishing etc, but will see this Wednesday. As always thank you for the great review!
One question though, I noticed some pauses during the video, are there frequent performance dips/stutters/odd loading happening at times?
Rise plays very similar or exactly like you would expect World does, only real difference is difficulty, Rise is a lot easier even into the end game fights. The stutters are most likely the recording software not the game. There is a demo you can try out on steam.
@@synbiosblade ah thanks for that, yeah I tried the demo and it ran super smooth. Will say that the demo is an awful way to get new players on board, should have included a training area in the demo.
And I don't mind easier to be honest
@@HeinSmit1 I think it was more of a shock to me because I was still actively playing World end game.
@@synbiosblade yeah I'm still slightly fresh in Guiding Lands, managed to scrape by Rajang, Stygian Zinogre I found slightly unpleasant but I was totally unprepared and hadn't played in a few months haha
@@HeinSmit1 I'm in an ongoing struggle trying to finally beat Alatreon. I am slowly making progress on my timing hoping I can come out with a win in another 20 or so fights.
I haven’t put nearly enough hours into the switch version. This needs to change asap.
Been patient waiting for this, nearly bought a Switch to play it. But I'm glad I waited. Can't wait to no life it this week
Having tried the PC demo after 400 hours of MHW, I just can't get used to the style of aesthetics. The simplistic UI design, the monster and lighting effects, all feel like optimized for the Switch and other small handheld devices. Scaled to a large monitor or a TV, it lacks some fineness I cannot describe.
That's because you started with World. Rise's UI and style feel a lot more like every other MH game not named World.
MHW is extremely different compared to every other MH game in style, it's the actual odd one out.
@@steel5897 Yeah you're right. I've seen videos of previous MH games. Probably because World came out on PS4 so it was intended to be aesthetically different?
If you own it on switch already and framerate isn't a deal breaker for you, wait for a sale. If you've never played it and want to try now than i definatly recommend it.
Really intrigued by the switch skills, would be a great shake up if I get bored of a playstyle.
IMO not worth getting it. Wait for Sunbreak dlc then get the whole package.
46 monsters to hunt. Which is a lot of content for someone to suggest to skip out on.
But nothing wrong with waiting I guess.
5:00 Trying to calculate imaginary Wall-Sun-Sun prime numbers... hilarious lol
Never actually played this franchise but this looks pretty damn good. May give it a try
My first game in the series was World and I have over 2400 hours logged between xbox and pc and another 200 on switch for Rise. World is probably my favorite game of all time. Rise is good but the challenge isnt there hoping the expansion this year fixes that otherwise Rise is as good as World.
World has around a 80 hour campaign to beat, and 50% of players have the achievement on Steam for doing so.
That alone shows how addictive the series is. Highly recommend it.
@@synbiosblade base world wasn't challenging either it just felt that way because it was your first.
@@therealbalto24 Maybe but the survival skills are now easier to gear for and things like evade extender and quick sheathe are way more effective than in world. That paired with the freedom of movement and the monsters not hitting as hard makes for an easier play through.
@@synbiosblade hmm not really the movement has improved yes but the mons are a bit faster/aggressive to compensate.
Also I think you don't remember world well the monsters hit like wet noodles but it is only high rank after all. With all the event quests in rise there's alot more challenging content. Go fight super rajang or emergency apexes that be out here doing from 70% dmg on weaker attacks too 1 shot on heavies.
Honestly I could play with pugs on world fine but in rise I just solo or with mates because whenever I go into a random group everyone be carting 24/7.
The game is great, had a decent amount of time on the switch version, when the events quest started rolling out I decided not to play them since I knew the pc version was coming out. This is my favorite Monster Hunter movement and combat wise but I do feel the game was lacking at launch compared to other Monster Hunter games but I feel like covid is the blame for that. I believe the pc version launched with a decent amount of content to hold you over until the big expansion. I also loved Rampage and loved grinding it, can’t wait to dig even deeper in the pic version.
I think this IP should have been called Monster Dressing since you need to farm monster to fill your wardrobe.
Can you do for GOW too I am considering which of the two I should buy. Thanks for the Good work man.
@ACG. Nice review! One question that I haven’t seen anyone address is how large the UI is. Can it be scaled down?
One thing I don't get is why would I get this if I have world, same weapons same monsters (almost), Same combos (almost), only new thing is the location and music then? I love MHW but I personally don't see a reason to downgrade graphics for a nicer hub, a mount, and a jumpy bug?
10:41 "Monster Hunter Rise games " This one is the only entry with "rise" in the title from what I recall
As someone who played a lot MHW and MHWI as well as the PC demo for Rise, Ive got a question.
The demo felt surprisingly clunky to me in comparison. My question now is: Was that due to the weird sets the demo provides? Or the lack of some game mechanic?
Because I really want to play it, but the demo left an odd feeling of insecurity that I will enjoy it in the long run.
I've played a ton of Rise on the switch, and the PC demo definitely felt lacking. It's like the switch demo was, not a great build so it felt sloppy overall. It's 100% worth it, it is essentially a faster and concise version of Iceborne, some skills are removed but are now wirebug moves which end up feeling better/worse depending on your playstyle.
You can play the game almost exactly like MHW if you really want to. You won't even notice a difference in Rise if you do. However, when you master the movement of the wirebug that's when the game really starts to shine
It’s amazing how much they paired back RE engine to run on the switch…
Dude, what happened to the podcast from Friday? I was looking forward to listening.
I bought this on switch, locally for a good price, but I never played it. I started it up, then made my character and companions, started with the intro of being shown around the area etc. I realised I'd much rather play it on PC when it comes out. It's on Sale on Steam at the minute as well, I might just pick it up. I am more of a Toukiden fan TBH, but MH is cool as well.
2021 was a year I basically stopped gaming. Just nothing hitting PC that I was interested in, outside Cyberpunk. We’re 2 weeks into 2022 and already 2 must buy PC games have hit! This and GOW. I love that they are lightweight games too. The hardware shortage hit my household hard. Took a year to get my stepson a 2070 for his first PC build. Me, I’m still waiting to upgrade but thankfully have these two gems that run on my aging pascal card well :)
You can change/assign BGM.
Never actually played Monster Hunter before - looks good
