I thought that too. It could be a cool range/melee hybrid which is something MH. doesn’t have. And if they really try get fancy sometype of teleport mechanic when after it’s thrown you can teleport to it location, a kin to Naruto since this games seems to have more focus on mobility
@@supremeuchia1287 I would argue the insect glaive fills the range/melee hybrid role, but I get what you're saying. The shuriken looks so interesting and it's a shame it's only a single move in a larger moveset.

I hope they provide updates to their performance issues, balancing etc. I will give it a try in some time.
I am loving this weapon. My only complaint is that the mutation stacks dissappear so quickly if you're not hitting the morph attacks. Feels bad on some aggressive monsters that you can't just keep hitting
Thats why you gotta make use of Karakuris. The Spring, Box jump and Fire torch attack give you 2 mutation bars if you land the morph attack. Also with the spring it should be pretty easy to hold stacks consistently.
@[Ger]LuBaKi I know they make it easier but I still feel like they dissappear too fast for no good reason. Between them enraging and spamming massive aoes it makes it more difficult to manage thread usage. You have to dump 12 to hold them in place. Often find myself needing to make a risky attack to keep them up so I can create an opening. It's not an issue in group play but in solos against the more aggressive mighty and volatile its annoying
@@itzcobrahands430 I totally get you and there are some monsters (Tempest) who kind of fall into that category lol. It really comes down to experience tho. The more often you fight a monster, the more you know when to attack properly. Also if you need window to unleash your Juggernaut Blade attack, do not sleep on the big Harpoon and the Ground Trap. They are your best friend and guarantee you to deal tons of damage. I can hunt down smaller Kemonos like Sporetail in under 2-3 Minutes now and bigger ones in less than 7 Minutes
this kinda reminds me of my idea for an new Mh weapon. it always bothered me that the two weapons that humanity used as hunter/gatherers to hunt were never properly represented: the spear and the throwing stick/boomerang. sure, there’s the lance, but i’m talking about a 2 handed hunting spear that tribal people would have used. same with the boomerang: it’s there.. but it’s not really a weapon. so what i wanted was a quick moving 2 handed spear, like the dual blades are to the long sword, this would be like that to the lance. so no shield, but, it could then be folded in half and be thrown like a boomerang like the Giant Boomerang from Zelda BotW. so this looks like it’ll be fun and i’ll have to try it out! 👍
I'm loving this. I love the fact that the game rewards you for knowledge and timing. You don't lots of defensive reaction mechanics (AFAIK) outside the wagasa and so knowing the kemono's moveset and being patient with your dodges is super rewarding. This game looks so much fun and a great addition to the monster hunting genre! :D
@@pandaHub1 Funny enough i'm a hammer/bow main in monster hunter, but always liked the greatsword feeling, never got to the learning part though, it's intimidating.
@@pandaHub1 Yeah it's not so much the weapon in itself that's complicated, but all the things around it. And the things you learn for the greatsword don't really apply to other weapons, GS players are often very good at patterns and positioning. I'll get to it at some point, the big numbers and and the weight of the weapon are really appealing.
I saw the video of Cowboy using this and it’s incredibly difficult but once you get the hang of it, the DPS is just fucking insane and very satisfying… I’m still practicing and learning with it but it’s so goddamn satisfying to hit the full charge Judgement Blade
After playing a few hours of the trial and also playing Monster hunter; I’m gonna prematurely say that Wild Hearts is way more fun to play plus it looks better as well
It's so much more smooth and fluent in gameplay and just feels more satisfying with the movement in general making me love it wayyyy more than monster hunter. I also hated having to micro manage my potions between quests in monster hunter that got so tedious and annoying after a while
Holy shit, this is just MonHun BUT different! As it stands on it's own, you can prodly call it its equivalent of a "Doom Clone." So, happy we got a competitor in this genre.
I've not seem too many people who's done these video mention this but would you guys say this is worth full price? I'm liking the look of it but for asking price tho? Not sure
devs probably thought of u cant manually pick the transformations, i think they want us to use it in its full potential, they probably learned from nioh 2, there was a weapon there called switchglaive, u can transform it through 3 forms, but most people, including me, just uses 1 form. i think if u can utilize every form in every situation, this weapon can be a beast.
The staff isn't about getting the combo timing correct... Its meant to be but it ain't. All you do is mash R2 + Square together as fast as you can and the weapon plays itself. It's the most simple weapon in the game
Funny enough, the shuriken is not actually a shuriken, I forgot the actual name of it, but it's a reference from dw6 from Lu Bu's main weapon since it's made by the creators of that game :)
Hmmm... I kind of hate this. Dont get me wrong, its an awesome design. BUT! No one makes bo staves anymore. Was really looking forward to just a bo staff. Guess I'll have to find another weapon to main T_T
game looks cool but I am literally playing rise all the time now I didn't start with it until it came on game pass but now i'm hooked and i can cross save between pc and xbox. So this game does look cool but for 70 bucks when am still working toward endgame in rise is maybe not for me just yet.
*_INTRO_* The staff is a bad weapon... In games such as this the reason Monster Hunter is so revered is due to its weapon variety.. *_PROBLEM_* Creating a Chameleon weapon in which I understand how cool that seems, it ultimately fractures weapon diversity... Especially since the weapons the staff incorporates do not seem to have cohesion... The Polearm doesn't make any sense to be on the weapon due to Shuriken being a range choice, if piercing is the purpose then what does that look like when enhancing your weapon and being able to have different weapon physical characteristics etc. (Slash, Pummel, and Lunge). Changing from weapon to weapon is a horrible aspect of not only weapon customization but within the weapon itself because it defeats the purpose of the enhance tree of different weapon types based upon this weapon having 4 extremely unique weapons into one with different properties. *_• Staff would be Pummel... Mainly_* *_• Tonfas would be Lunge/Pummel... Mainly_* *_• Shuriken would be Slash/Pierce... Mainly_* *_• Spear would be Pierce/Slash... Mainly_* If Staff was it's own staff actual weapon in the game, when you change weapon characteristics through your enhancement tree; Spear would be an aspect of Piercing and Slash when enhancing... Passively... This is the concept of design before even getting into the actual combat problems with this weapon. *_COMBAT_* Aside from having 4 Unique weapons in one, the weapon struggles with either trying to be each individual weapon or trying to be all of them at once... The combos in rotation only yield 1 - 2 hitting combos until seemingly having to morph otherwise repeating a one or 2 hit combo that's laughably poor by itself. Yes, some hit multiple times such as the Tonfas, Shuriken and Spear... But here's why that's not as significant as it seems... One knockdown and your back to staff form to starting right back at the beginning of your weapons rotation. This means that there's isn't any point in sticking to one form THAT DOES MATTER... Spear form and Shuriken form both have relative DPS attacks in a specific cone that if they were their own weapon, could really function extraordinarily. Yet, they are reduced to having to rotate once your weapon is sheathed and repeat. Phase 2 of morphing, your weapon recieves a slight change that has you do two light attacks instead of one for each and 3 for Spear... The only way to get to this point is if you successfully morph through all stages, back to the cycled weapon, meaning Staff, Tonfas, Shuriken, Spear, then back to Staff, Tonfas, Shuriken, and finally, Spear again... That button sequence is... *_A1×2, {A3}, A1×2, {A3}, {A3}, A1x2, {A3}, A1×2, {A3}, A1 {A3},_* then finally you've reached Spear again to do a 3 hit combination that's seemingly a combo with the weapon. *(A1 = Attack 1, X, Square etc.)* *(A2 = Attack 2, Y, Triangle etc.)* *(A3 = Attack 3 or Speacial, RT, R2, etc.)* As such the commitment to this combo sequence and the prowess to trying to not get hit from non indication just eyeball timing area of effect attacks then continuing your morph sequence is extremely frustrating. Spring helps, Chain Trap, Harpoon, Fireworks, all help but ultimately they can only do so much, and spamming Katakuri should not be the way this game should be played unless it's the Pummel Katakuri. Kemono wouldn't genuinely never allow you to do that entire sequence listed above unless they are toppled, chained or distracted... Of course in multiplayer Staff works relatively fine but solo gameplay is drastically different. Even if this game is meant to be played multiplayer, it defeats the purpose of solo gameplay in which a lot of players still value as well. *_METER_* For the life of me, the meter gain from doing certain attacks, glider air attack into morph, gives you 2 ticks of mutation and is just awful for the commitment. As well as the in-between hits of morphs giving you none... I understand balancing although; it's not worth it being how all over the place Staff gameplay is, a weapon with this ideology should not be as dysfunctional... When weapons such as Claw exist... Even within Katakuri attack only the Crate functions as the only viable meter gain. As well as the coolest moves being incorporated from Katakuri, I understand you want us to use Katakuri but, those attacks are extremely well done and to be locked behind absolutely having to use Katakuri is pain. *_TL : DR_* *(ALSO SOLUTION)* Separate Staff, and make those weapons single weapons or, give the option to dismantle the weapon whilst still keeping the entire kit. In dismantling you would be able to play all 4 weapon with full kits on their own, with fully flushed out polished combat adding 13 weapons to the game and you could mismatch them, the Tonfas and Spear attacks from Katakuri are really cool, as well as the Spear pinwheel attack into a Shuriken bounce. *_DISCLAIMER_* Players will say, *"You aren't using it properly or skill issue,"* or, *"That's YOUR opinion."* They will also say, *"It's the developers game, let them do what they want."* The reason these two things are false is due the function of the weapon itself... Staff does not do a great job trying to be any of those weapons individual as I've stated before, nor does it do a good job in being all of them at once... This defeats the statement, *"You aren't using it properly"* by the weapons design to having to find a way around the weapons bad parts that do outweigh it's good parts as well as based on other weapons distinctively to make the weapon function. Finding a way to make a weapon or thing work, does not make it a good weapon or thing, it just makes it work, which is by itself a nerf and fault in logic. Things have to be fluent to work properly. Such as this weapon that does not. This also defeats the argument that all of this is a bias opinion due to the absolute fact that these are not personal aspect but an exact functionality of the weapon and game. Again, finding a way to make them work isn't always ideal especially when other factors limit not only the weapon, but the game and the logic to explain this as well. Such as, *"That's YOUR opinion."* Against the statement, *"It's the developers game let them do what they want."* is not only a horrible standpoint but, selfish and very narcissistic being both qualities of dishonest when creating a product for anyone. Fan service is what happens when consumers are too selfish and narcissist; Developers can also act in this regard as we are all still humans... Even with it being their product they produced, it is no longer just there's when you pay 70 dollars for that product to experience and enjoy it. It becomes everyone's so genuinely everyone who cares should have an opinion or critic with facts. This defeats the statement, *"It's the developers game let them do what they want."* *_Thank You_* If you read this far, you're a very interesting being and I'll follow you on this app.
Something I noticed watching this but it seems like if you do a leaping aerial attack into transform you get 2 gauge segments instead of just one. You did it a few times in the video. 2:22 is the first time it happens. Sometime later it happens and the gauge is red and glowly despite being mostly empty until you land the transform for 2 gauges. I think maybe the gauge was about to time out.
This makes me hope that they add that shuriken-style weapon (as it's own weapon) to Monster Hunter 6. Because Monster Hunter likes to make the weapons have an equal partner, they could add in the Tonfas from MH: Frontier. They could be classed as the "Throw" weapons.
I am not suprised if this weapon will be the first get rebalance. Its quite op compared to nodaichi / gs that takes years to charge n yet pitiful damage XD.
Nodachi doesn’t meant to charge all the way .charge + jump attack or charge with other karakuri attack can fully the gauges in second. You can create karakuri while charge it too. So it’s easy to do a lot damage with this weapon .
Wow weapons look great. I wish thr environment didn't look so rough. Lots of poor textures, flat terrain, and popins. Just an ugly world. Might try to look past that and play. Just looks a bit janky.
They should have split this into more weapons. Staff, shuriken, and axe should all be separate weapons. It's stupid to have 5 in one. If you like one you're stuck with low dps. Huge miss here. Especially with very few weapon types in the game. I like the buster sword super though, just not attached to 5 weapons.
I can disagree only because of the fact that if you can't consistently output Juggernaut Blade, the weapon loses major DPS and can be the weakest compared to other weapons. However, if you're consistently filling up gauge and hitting with Juggernaut Blade, it can easily be the strongest weapon in the game.
Moment looks fine about the same as most games it just has heavy Frame commitment, might just be the TH-cam compression of the video actual in hand doesn't look like this.
So you dont want mh to have competition? We all know what can happen if a game ends up becoming a monopoly and nothing else can touch it anymore, they just stop trying.
I wish there was a way to use the shuriken as a main weapon. It looks really cool and I love the idea of a boomerang type short "ranged" weapon.
I thought that too. It could be a cool range/melee hybrid which is something MH. doesn’t have. And if they really try get fancy sometype of teleport mechanic when after it’s thrown you can teleport to it location, a kin to Naruto since this games seems to have more focus on mobility
I wish the staff was a main weapon I prefer polearms a lot and was sad it's not. But I think it might be fun to try out
Yessssssssssssssss
Saaaaame!!!! Would love a full moveset just for shuriken style.
@@supremeuchia1287 I would argue the insect glaive fills the range/melee hybrid role, but I get what you're saying. The shuriken looks so interesting and it's a shame it's only a single move in a larger moveset.

is there a way to use one of the forms or is it that it reverts back to its staff automatically?

Finding a way to make a weapon or thing work, does not make it a good weapon or thing, it just makes it work, which is by itself a nerf and fault in logic. Things have to be fluent to work properly. Such as this weapon that does not.
This also defeats the argument that all of this is a bias opinion due to the absolute fact that these are not personal aspect but an exact functionality of the weapon and game. Again, finding a way to make them work isn't always ideal especially when other factors limit not only the weapon, but the game and the logic to explain this as well. Such as, *"That's YOUR opinion."*
Against the statement, *"It's the developers game let them do what they want."* is not only a horrible standpoint but, selfish and very narcissistic being both qualities of dishonest when creating a product for anyone. Fan service is what happens when consumers are too selfish and narcissist; Developers can also act in this regard as we are all still humans... Even with it being their product they produced, it is no longer just there's when you pay 70 dollars for that product to experience and enjoy it. It becomes everyone's so genuinely everyone who cares should have an opinion or critic with facts. This defeats the statement, *"It's the developers game let them do what they want."*
*_Thank You_*
If you read this far, you're a very interesting being and I'll follow you on this app.
Something I noticed watching this but it seems like if you do a leaping aerial attack into transform you get 2 gauge segments instead of just one. You did it a few times in the video. 2:22 is the first time it happens. Sometime later it happens and the gauge is red and glowly despite being mostly empty until you land the transform for 2 gauges. I think maybe the gauge was about to time out.
So are you quitting TH-cam or no I’m so confused?
How do you unlock it ??
This makes me hope that they add that shuriken-style weapon (as it's own weapon) to Monster Hunter 6. Because Monster Hunter likes to make the weapons have an equal partner, they could add in the Tonfas from MH: Frontier. They could be classed as the "Throw" weapons.
You can stun Gritdog out of the belly drum with the giant hammer
Weapons look good
i just want to know how that is a dog, looks more like a racoon unless its a racoon dog, also finally a proper spear in a hunting game
HAMMER !!!’
Yep im going to main that one first
Pls what armor is that
Hello starter weapon~
Not a fan that the movements and graphics look worse that MHW which is a older fame, but I still am exited to try this game
Is the game out?
Comes out the 16th I believe. Course some influencers have early copies, but I believe there's a 10 hour demo for those with an EA account.
Also if you are on pc. Ea pro plus gives unlimited early access
16th for pc but 17th for console
Can we skip cutscenes? I’ve never cared about hunter type games story.
I am not suprised if this weapon will be the first get rebalance. Its quite op compared to nodaichi / gs that takes years to charge n yet pitiful damage XD.
Nodachi doesn’t meant to charge all the way .charge + jump attack or charge with other karakuri attack can fully the gauges in second. You can create karakuri while charge it too. So it’s easy to do a lot damage with this weapon .
Wow weapons look great. I wish thr environment didn't look so rough. Lots of poor textures, flat terrain, and popins. Just an ugly world. Might try to look past that and play. Just looks a bit janky.
They should have split this into more weapons. Staff, shuriken, and axe should all be separate weapons. It's stupid to have 5 in one. If you like one you're stuck with low dps. Huge miss here. Especially with very few weapon types in the game. I like the buster sword super though, just not attached to 5 weapons.
Combat looks fun but they really went super budget/generic with the world design
Would be interested if I literally didn’t just sink the last 50 hours into MH rise 😂 they’re literally the same game lol
Man I'm sure glad this not Monster Hunter game took my least favorite mechanic of the monster running away
looks like a monster hunter clone
Without arreks it's not the same😭
Looks like a ps3 game
So this is just a Monster Hunter clone?
Karakuri Staff has way too much advantage over other weapons.
I can disagree only because of the fact that if you can't consistently output Juggernaut Blade, the weapon loses major DPS and can be the weakest compared to other weapons. However, if you're consistently filling up gauge and hitting with Juggernaut Blade, it can easily be the strongest weapon in the game.
Runs and looks like shit on Series S
no. the game doesnt work. so no weapons arent awesome. because im salty they release their game broken for $70 fucking dollars.
Is it just me or is the movement in this game looking very clunky? Also the visuals make it seem like it's a Switch port like MHR
Moment looks fine about the same as most games it just has heavy Frame commitment, might just be the TH-cam compression of the video actual in hand doesn't look like this.
@@DarkMoonRaven100 what's frame commitment
Copy Dauntless>Monster Hunter = Shit
MH clone ...
It’s better then mh by far
Yes, a MH clone. You will get clones of many other games, but with their own style and flavor - which is completely fine.
Finally MH is getting some competition in this genre
Don't play any souls or souls-like game ever.
So you dont want mh to have competition? We all know what can happen if a game ends up becoming a monopoly and nothing else can touch it anymore, they just stop trying.
