The armor is bad, being launched afther world, theres really no drip even in sunbreak, you have such god like armor like the azura rathalos armor from 3 ultumate, rule of cool rules and sadly for male hunters they are mostly mid, aside from that, the dango prob chance is horrible 4/5 hunts the food doesnt act. the skils
Confirmation bias. Rise released in a rocky state on the switch. A console different from the PS4 and PC and so since then a lot of people have been telling themselves it's garbage to justify the fact they can't play it. Rise got fixed and released for consoles and PC and quite frankly the reception has been great. All I see from new players is hype for Sunbreak. All the "fuck rise, world 2 when?" Has been coming from people who either played it from release or never played it at all. Confirmation bias. And of course "lackluster updates". Sunbreak only needs 2 actually new monsters so that whole stigma against it goes. If it gets that, then the whole package would have honestly recieved better TUs than iecborne.
@@tahaelhour690 nah i just dont like rise because of how noob friendly the game had become. Got nothing to do with anything you said. You can like the game all you want. Doesnt mean its good
they wouldve made world better and added features from rise to there but seems like their target was the switch users. I like rise but world feels better as a whole game. I hope they make MH6 have the good in MHW and MHR and improve on it. also I hope there's no rampage-like quests and stick to actual monster hunting
I personally agree on the MR requirements being too high for certain monsters but as someone who just recently finished the main story of Sunbreak. You get access to A LOT of monsters straight off the bat at MR 10. Seething bazel, chaotic gore, velkhana, flaming espinas. Are all available straight up at MR10. And you still get a lot of monsters unlocked that way, inushi and narwa are very easy to get at 20 and 30 respectively for example. All in all there's not too much dead space in between grinds. Which is good.
I know they're not as rare, but I hate how hard it is to get Narg Medullas or that Magnamalo needs to be put to sleep or spam Wirebug skills that let you attack in the air to break his back to get Scutes.
Even at master rank 700, there is still a lot of stuff for me to do, and I only made sets for 3 weapons so far. Imagine making a meta set for every weapon type and element.... Also, the velkhana set is actually really nutty specifically for the greatsword, a 30% boost on a TCS on a sleeping monster is a huge boost I personally want Agnaktor, my favorite monster from the first game I played, Tri.
thats my goal once I reach max anomaly level. If elemental weapons need different sets for every element to be efficient, the same can be said for using different weapons for different monsters. In previous games I used bowguns, long sword, great sword, dual blades, insect glaive, switch axe, and lance. Now its only dual blades, longsword, and light bowgun. I want to be able to pull out the best weappn for each monster, AND pull out the best set as well and for that there is a TON of grinding, practice, and fun ahead. I might even straight up replay the story with appropriate level gear just to practice weapons from the beginning.
Yea I'm returning to the game after Title update 2 and I only have access to Risen Chameleos but I still have access to Velkhana and Peppo's Velkhana build for sacred sheathe longsword is incredibly powerful so it makes up for not having the defense awarded by the Risen Elder dragon armors
@@airbornejay4962 🤣 honestly I re read my comment and realized how no life it sounds but I do work a 9-5 and barely get to play on my free time so my goal is something months in advance
I was somewhere around MR 130 before the most recent update, now I've grinded enough to pass 175 (first to unlock risen crimson glow and then from anomaly investigations). Personally, I find the grind for research rank a lot more annoying and problematic. Sure getting up to 160 MR was annoying, but I was going to get there eventually, they added an event quest just to help with ranking up, and once I got there I was able to hunt it with my brother who was much further behind. With anomaly investigations though, the grind is even more insane (a lot of parts require rank 200+ which I'm not even remotely close to still). And if I do anything other than investigations, I'm not making progress towards that at all which sucks. And then there's the worst part, which is that people can't join investigations that are even slightly higher than their own rank. In this case my brother can't join me on any investigations cause he's still a whole 80 levels behind me, and there's no point for me to join him because I'll get almost nothing out of it thanks to the level difference penalty.
Way too many people cart even at anomaly 128 so I think that restriction is a good thing, if you grind anomaly to 200 you probably won’t be seeing garbage players cart all the time
@@shrekonion7032 stopped playing online coz 95% of the time theres gonna be someone who will triple cart. Eh, single player with followers are better anyways. I think Rise/SB is best enjoyed solo (due to its fast paced and arcade-y gameplay) while World and other MH games are best played with friends (more immersive, longer gameplay).
anomaly investigation actually allowed me to do scorned magnamalo before even hitting MR100, risen teostra too. i was burnt out trying to get to mr100 before any other additions beyond now i'm on my way to mr110
@@ToniFalck Yeah, that's new with TU5. When I wrote this comment that was nearly impossible because of how slow the anomaly grind was, but now its literally 4 times faster until you hit 200
The armor augment could be fixed easily. One slot each, connect skills to monsters like masters touch to Teostra, use a point system like melding, fill in the points to gurantee it. The weapon augments are perfectly solved with how targetable it is
To answer your questions I am a switch player sitting around 1200 hours and I’ve been playing since July of 2021. Currently I am MR750 and I usually play for an hour or 2 everyday but sometimes I work more so I can’t. I personally enjoy Quirio crafting since I’ve always enjoyed set crafting and I feel like this just adds another layer to armor skills.
This requirements is there because in IB many players complaining about Fatalis MR 17 where players who doesnt have even end game armor sets go on final boss of the game. My rank is HR 438 and MR 204
My only problem in sunbreak are anomaly investigations, once you get a good hefty one with two or three monster for a quicker levelling it's stuck with you for every rank leaving the others behind, and picking up afflicted shrooms and stuff only gives quests with lower level or just one monster. And for some reason in the last four days of grinding, joining quests online has only gotten me to the same afflicted diablos and seething bazelguse investigation, for every, single, level. I seriously need help to get to 220
I love it , as someone who started with 3u I’m happy to say that this series never disappoints, rise/sunbreak is probably my favorite game to play due to me being more of a portable mh player.
I'm a filthy casual player so Rise is right up my alley. Also I play on Switch so its nice to be able to get in quick hunts as time allows, then settle in for longer hunts on the big screen on the weekends. Great game!
I initially didn't like the talisman RNG grind because it's not fun like how hunting a monster for RNG monster parts is, taking you out of the game and wasting monster materials by feeding them to the melder,then they added Qurios crafting and while I liked the Qurios weapon crafting because you had full control over how you want to upgrade them,I dreaded Quiros armor crafting because it felt like talisman farming but for armor,and I had stopped playing ever since that title update which I think was title update 2 if I'm not mistaken. Then when title update 4 came out I found out that in title update 3 I think it was,was when they added Aurora Melding and while I still don't like the way talisman farming was implemented I actually don't mind engaging in it now because I can actually target what I want in a talisman now in the same way(to a lesser extent)I can target what I want in a Qurios Weapon and while I Still don't like Qurios armor crafting title update 4 has brought me back to the game fully,I had 600 hours on switch for base rise when Sun break first dropped(Keep in mind that I got Base Rise in late 2021)so I was a bit late to the hunt but I pretty much played nonstop since I got it and then Title update 2 killed the game for me and it sucked because MH is my favorite game franchise of all time but I'm truly glad to be back in the hunt Now as for the rank requirements for MR monsters I honestly don't have a problem with it even though I stopped a while back and am behind (stopped at MR 100) I actually don't mind the high Mr requirements because in my eyes it's catering more towards players who are at the endgame which I think is exactly what Capcom should be doing.Now this is just my opinion but if you're not willing to grind up to MR160 I don't think you really enjoy the game that much to begin with and I don't think being MR160 and having access to these higher ranked monsters will be enough to keep you wanting to play the game but again that's just my opinion.All in all as I stated earlier I'm really glad to be back in the Hunt and last night I reached MR117 & am looking for to the grind because that's part of the reason I love Monster Hunter,the grind doesn't feel arbitrary like it does in other grindy games. Happy Hunting fellow Hunters
My biggest issues with Rise is that I can't search by monster and/or then just view open online Quests and pick one like in previous games, and that the follower mechanic takes away players from the online community.
I wish they should just move on to the next mh title. While rise+sunbreak is a great game and have the qol updates the game lost it's hunting aspect, no need to track monsters as it instantly shown in the map, no need for heavy item prep. Almost all weapon have counters. This iteration is optimized for speed running. I hope they stay away from switch skills and make it more about hunting not speed running everything to oblivion.
You do have a point about it. I’ve been playing rise for a few weeks, and still do. What got me concerned a tad bit was how much health they’ll have in MR most likely on the count of us beating iceborne monsters almost with ease. The MR grind just to get to the quest is annoying though. But that ain’t gonna get me down. Besides, I always bring my palico and palamute, and hopefully, followers around to help me out.
@@KripticHCS don’t worry. I’ve been seeing some CB metas, mostly involving elements. Even impact phial CBS have somewhat meta. I’m more of an impact person than element in all honesty. I know elements pack a bigger punch though. But I still go for impact phials as they help with the stuns.
I'm about 450hrs in the game, MR399, HR710, AR211. I've played the game about 99% solo, pretty efficient. Only played about 13h in the last 2 weeks. I play enough to do the content and maybe a few more things but after that I don't really care that much. Next thing to work on is hunting each monster 10 times for the scroll, and I only have maybe 2 more monsters to do. Sunbreak only gets a small spike in players when TU hits.. then after a week or 2, numbers drop again cuz it's so easy to go through the content in just a few days and then not want to bother with the grind further. Once I get to AR220, there's nothing to do, and the game doesn't really motivate me to play the other weapons like MHW did. I also really dislike the RNG augment systems on the armor. I think the weapon systems are fine, as they are set and you can organize them however you like with the slots and levels. The armor augments are not enough to want to keep chasing, nor is spending a bunch of time in menus adding 1-2 essence and waiting to see your crap roll fun or engaging. This also applies to wasting time in menus choosing monster parts to roll for talismen. It's not engaging gameplay, and the reward system tied to it doesn't feel good for the player. I really think this approach to "hunt whatever you want" mentality created an environment where people don't care. They make it seem like the armor augments are additional, so you don't really ever try to perfect your gear. Same goes for talismen. All the people who hated the RNG for decos likes this approach, but I'm the opposite. I loved the build style of MHW, where gear pieces and decos fit together nicely like a puzzle. I don't mind RNG for decos because they are quest related and you can get them in a bunch of different quests. People can complain that some quests give the best rewards, but you can also argue that some quests in SB give the best monster parts for melding. The difference is that decorations as RNG rewards is a finite thing. The rewards you get from augments and charms is not.
@@sebastianocampo71997 which is actually optional. You can just run good deco and fully upgraded armor and still beat everything. In MHW getting good deco is hard, and good deco is substantial to get a good run. Rng deco is bad because you actually need them and lot of them to fill in the deco armor slot, the "deco is puzzle piece to armor" is freaking bs, because what you need are locked behind the rng to get good run. Sb have its problem, IB also has its own problem. They are not better to each other
I completely stopped playing months before update 1 then came back after update 3 now I'll wait till update 5. It's ok but I've never put under 300 hours in any monster hunter game before.
MR 68, play every weekend, around 5-6 hours per weekend At first, I liked the requirements for the urgent quest cause then I could play through a variety of quests, then it started to get boring, and I ended speeding through quests from MR 65, and I'm still on MR 68, what a pain.
They only real thing I dislike is the fact I can't assign any of my silkbind moves to any X or Y button I want, and the fact that I can't use the same ones in two different locations. What if I want double Counter Peak Performance? Not very viable, but I'd at least like to have the option.
The MR 160 requirement is way too much in my opinion. I bought Rise in November after TU3 was out, because I finally gave it a chance. And I played it a LOT - had a great time up until MR 70. But the grind to get to MR 110 to finally be able to get access to the risen dragon elders and therefore their armor sets which are a core to every build I wanted to make, was just tedious. I did a lot of rinse and repeat anomaly quests, farming materials for all the decorations I needed, crafting some armor and weapons for the final builds that I wanted to make but along the way I lost interest for this game. Everything I wanted to do was tied to reaching MR 110, which feels like such an unnecessary grind to stop players who joined the game at a later point gain access to such an important part of set building. It stopped being a grind for materials and creating better sets and started being a grind for a number that excludes players who joined this community a little later. I noticed that I wasn't enjoying it anymore after reaching MR 103 and I stopped. I have been taking a break since the end of January and was thinking about returning to the game. But just thinking about having to grind through 50 MR more after finally reaching MR 110 was the nail in the coffin for me :( I love Monster Hunter! But this grind for MR just feels so badly designed with a complete disregard for newer players...
I honestly don't mind the MR 160 requirement because it's not really a thing. For those of you unaware, any hunter above MR 10 can join literally any quest, assuming their anomaly level is high enough. That means hunters fresh out of *final boss name* can do those hunts in lobbies with friends, streamers, or other hunters without issue. Admittedly, for solo players the grind is a lot, but you get extra experience for doing hunts solo and followers allow for a simulated hunt with friends. The major problem I have is anomaly grinding. Grinding with people higher level than you is great since you can hunt within brackets of 20 anomaly levels (1-21, 21-41, etc.) The problem arrises when hunting solo, since your monsters are capped at your anomaly level, meaning grinding takes much longer. And since these are some of the toughest hunts in the game, you are going to spend upwards of half an hour or more fighting them with minimal payoff. But there is still a work around assuming you don't mind doing "Join Requests." Select a monster you want/need at the appropriate level, wait a few minutes, join that hunt and you gain extra anomaly levels. Simple, if at all a bit tedious. I'm assuming most players don't use this function, but it's there and works very well. I think the criticisms brought up are totally valid for solo players. As one myself, it's a hard barrier to cross when you don't have all the time in the world. But if you want the grind to get easier, there are several ways to do so and they all involve other people. Sure, you are going to run into those people who wait for you to do all the work, but a vast majority of the community is there to help and I know for certain streamers on various platforms would be happy to help in lobbies.
I wanted to finish exploring all of the content available in world first, only to end up very behind in rise now, no regrets but after just starting Im only at HR3 paced with a less active player for the Multiplayer Missions; Also lost in the Nostalgia and severely missing being a kid playing MHTri RIP Lagi ❤
I'm at MR 201 and I just passed 400 hours in this game. granted a lot of that was before master rank was added, but when sunbreak released I would play it all day every day for about a month. to an average player that kind of grind is a huge barrier of entry. even I was concerned if I had a high enough MR when the trailer dropped (as I don't really keep track of it). I personally don't think there's any point to obscenely high HR/MR requirements and they're detrimental to the morale of beginner players
Mr668 hr979 AR 199 (1100+ hours) I play religiously from sunbreak - TU2 after that I injoy the new content but it wasn't anything to get me back in to sunbreak. So now maby a couple of hunt here and there
I'm master rank 605 and i have 800+ hours on The Nintendo Switch version. (75+ on Steam and 50+ on Xbox now). I'd like to have the master rank requirements lowered anyway to bring back old and new players.
I still to this day cannot understand why we got a variant of valstrax instead of the normal one I'm just confused by it nothing wrong with it but it's confusing
Frostcraft decos would be too brokenly OP, since you can already do crazy stupid damage just by augmenting buildup boost onto the 3 pieces and running a status weapon.
I’m currently at MR48 I took a substantial break once I got to MR5. Only until just recently have I started playing again. I’ve been grinding everyday and have made it through almost all of title update 1 monsters, I will take on title update 2 monsters once I reach MR 70 and then update 3 & 4 at 100 with the risens being whenever they are available. Hopefully will get it done by early-mid march but I’m not in a rush
The mr requirement isnt a big deal, its exclusive to the MR normal risens. Besides,you have lots of content to do meanwhile,engage with the endgame such as anomaly investigations and the mr will come naturally. Also, base rise did have narwa too at launch, just not Allmother.
fr. if they just do them follower quests they can get at least 40 MR lvls minimum from all that. not having to grind MR lvls to unlock the cool monsters is just wack. L take and L friends this guy
@@ah-ys8gs that's... What i do... I just doing all the followers while occasionally doing MR cap, mats farm a bit, and helping my friend doing story. Currently MR 60
My complaint is squading up, it practically impossible to find a hub for monsters your hunting, everyone just does join quest help request, maybe I'm just use to mh4u hubs
Im playing only MonHun, so im already HR999 and MR999 on Switch. And im super happy because of higher MR requierments... Capcom decided to create the best game franchise in entire gaming history, and some people still prefer to play something different or at least not that much in MonHun... Its good that they are not allowed to discover entire content if they are too weak to understand how beautifull game they are playing
For me right now i just cant keep playing because of the anomaly investigation its really awlful yes they did buffed it but still rng on which monster is and pretty damn grindy and another thing that just bother me are the event quests were i cant believe i would say it on a monster hunter game that this has to be the most lazy and unispired what happened to the crossover wheres the fun and charm and yes i know about Monster Tri but cmon guys
Most of my time is now spent grinding Anomalies, augmenting my armor meticulously to get specific augments and then repeat. Is it boring? Yep. But am i gonna stop? Not till my weapon is fully augmented
I played Rise for the first time on Xbox and loved it. I played solo DBs for 135 hours, now I'm trying out a meta Great sword build and as cool ae it is too see 500- 1200 damage in base Rise I absalutly suck with it so far 😂. I'll get there
@@asianartist1 I will try to tackle with intention more. Maybe also stop TCSing away from the monster for all to see 😂. It's beautiful when you get a good meaty string going though.
I just got the game for my xbox one x from gamepass a few days ago, just reached HR6 amd I really like the game constant crashes are gonna make me stop playing real soon if they continue.. sometimes it crashes 3 times in an hour and I have had to repeat so many hunts and lost so many tail carves etc because of it since if it crashes in the hunt reward screen, I lose everything I got from that hunt and have to do it again.. it is frustrating and infuriating..
@@elitereptilian200 I wouldn't blame you. I have a series X and haven't had that problem but I would be frustrated if I did. The switch could handle it well enough so hopefully it gets patched or something for last gen.
I agree with you that Sunbreak is a phenomenal game, but I disagree that it has many problems, it has the least amount of problems out of any Monster Hunter game. Anomalies are great, MR requirements are really not too high, weapons are in a great place, endgame gear is more varied than any other title, RNG has been toned down. Base Rise had a bunch of issues, but in my opinion Sunbreak has fixed pretty much all of them.
I’m not going to lie, I started playing MHR after 6 months from not touching MHW and the one thing that is getting me is that I’ve been fighting both the Almudron and Anjinath for now close to 3 weeks and I’ve not once been given their gems. I’ve been needing their gems for me armor sets (Switch Axe and Horn). But I go around and fight a diablos or the Kushala Dora and I get their super rare drops in like 2 runs. It’s frustrating because myself and my group are getting to the point where we are going to get the sun break DLC just to do the investigations to buy these gems. Outside of that, been loving Rise.
I have watched many Rise fans reviews, and you Sir are one of the Few that Praised the difficulty, most of them just Say. "One hit Repeat is not Difficult it's annoying" And Honestly yeah that sounds Fair I can see the difference between the Two. I have also seen Fairly Few people who praised the Grind, and by my Experience it might Pass MHW on how Grindy it currently is.
Honestly I totally agree with MR requirements being way too high. I'm a fairly casual player at MR 74, so i haven't been able to fight any of the risen monsters. I just can't really do that much grind. I feels like the work is going nowhere yah know? anyways I sill always fight the new monster that I can and just wish that the gate to other content wasn't so far off.
Been playing MH for over a decade so I can't relate to anything critical about the game. Its amazing, its not pay to play/win, and they add QOL every installment.
I recently started MHR with 70 hours of game-play using a new weapon Charge Blade and I'm currently level 145 with all necessary equipment to combat Rise's Apex Monsters. Mainly finishing all story quest, side-quest, Hub-quest, and event quest. I rarely do arenas, so reaching that threshold didn't take much effort, maybe 17 days to play real-time? I think the reason they wanted to make Master Rank expectations high is because of data collection and knowing that developers put in a lot of time making their designs, they wanted players to take their time to enjoy their creations. Compared to MHW it felt like Rise was more fast-pace and was incomplete due to the lack environmental interactions with what the monsters can do. They really do have beautiful maps this time around, but the monsters didn't really touch the map, just focused on one certain spot out in the open for fighting.
Got 100% on switch before sunbreak and played everything again on PC up until the update before this one. I haven't touched the game since last year and it's a shame because I enjoyed it but I just don't feel compelled to play it these days
I love anomaly rank requirements. My biggest criticism of Iceborne was that once you reach MR100 (which is not that high) you pretty much unlock access to everything, leapfrogging you to very late endgame. I wanted post game unlocks to be more well paced in World so that you keep unlocking new fights 100s of hours into the end game.
I'll be honest, Curio crafting and the cash shop have kind of turned me off to the game. I'll still play it now and then, but I'm not doing the serious grind that I've done in previous games. In fact I've gone back to playing World. I'll give Capcom credit where it's due, but this constant power creep has turned me off to the game right now.
Regular Velkhana in Iceborne has a fairly weak ultimate attack sadly but Arch Tempered Velkhana’s ultimate attack has carted many a hunter. It hits like a truck even in Fatalis armor so if you get hit by it and you dont have something like divine blessing then you will probably get one shot by the 360 beam, if you’re lucky enough to survive the beam attack then it also freezes you to the ground so you can’t avoid the ice waves, it’s pretty dangerous. I don’t think AT Velkhana is more difficult than Fatalis or Alatreon but the attacks hit very hard and she’s quite aggressive so I think you were a little harsh in saying it’s one of the weakest of the hard monsters. The ultimate attack is pretty straight forward to avoid as long as you are always trying to stay close and be careful, but i’ve seen people cart to it many times.
I sincerely hope that for the next monster hunter game that they do away with these insane systems that are just there for player retention. They need to return to a more grounded style like the old games where you have your weapon, your armor, and your palicoe. These anomaly things and ranks are just way too much. That's actually what burned me out of the game.
220 hrs here. MR 124 and HR 300. I understand the level requirements. I find annoying that since the followers system was introduced, I can't find any players to play with. I que up endlessly for AI and nothing happens. I only find ppl to play event quests and this only happens the first few days of the quest.
MR 70 maybe 71. I'm trying to grind to the new content but it's just so long. Not to mention the RNG in tailsman crafting. I hated the decoration system in world and I hate how it is with tailsmains in rise
It just feels so bad right? The high MR requirement feels like such a bad design choice for players who joined late or were taking a longer break from the game. After MR 70 the focus is not about grinding for new cool armor sets, decorations and weapons anymore, it is about getting that number up... yay. Imagine finally reaching MR 110 and then having to grind 50 more levels :/
"never fought the same monster more than 5 times for it's rare drop". My first 50+ hunts of seregios for it's "mantle" got way out of hand. I envy your luck.
I now realize a lot of people disagree with me on this. I just remember doing it at the time, i may have even streamed it, and having no issues. Maybe I was just lucky or my build carried me, but that was genuinely my impression of the hunt
I got the game from gamepass few days ago, I really like it but I sure am glad I didn't buy it like I was going to at first.. the reason is constant crashes to the xbox home screen, the game freezes,the music of the game keeps playing but the game is frozen and I am forced to "alt & f4" to the home screen and launch the game again and it does this sometimes three to four times in an hour and usually mid hunt so that I have lost so much progress and had to repeat so many hunts because of it.. I really like the game but I' m gonna drop it real fast if this crashing continues..
Its weird, since Rise got announced to release on Xbox, my friends have been stoked to finally play since they neither have a switch nor (gaming) PC. It’s been a blast showing them the game but prior to this I played Rise from pre Final boss title update to now but now I kinda stopped grinding nearly as much on switch (MR 400 after Velkhana and RCG Valstrax) since I know in the long run I’m going to be spending more time on the console version with my friends. It just feels kinda off to explain, wondered if anyone had similar sentiments?
I'd say that's normal, why would you want to play the Switch version when u know you're probably gonna end only playing xbox once Sunbreak drops. I was exactly the same, as soon as they announced the Xbox version I immediately stopped playing Switch even tho I was playing every day before that cause I love the game. But the game runs and looks so much better on the bigger consoles that I don't even wanna touch it anymore on Switch, I only played on Switch recently for TU4 to kill Velkhana and Risen Val once that's it. Besides that I'm staying on xbox. I also don't wanna burn myself out with the switch version cause I wanna go ham when Sunbreak releases on xbox, planning to play until MR999 and beyond.
I started playing rise because of a sale one the e-shop that included all the dlcs. I loved the game and i think it is phenomenal when you play the game today. Learning of how the game was at launch i can understand why some people dont have a positive perception twords rise. Best way to experience it is today when all the content is there fully finished.
I’m HR 424 and MR 178 I had the game when it was first released nd played all the time but took breaks here and there because of burnout I also have 810 hours and a lot of that is me making outfits cause fashion hunters and just sitting idle
As someone whose had 350+ hours i MHUG3, 250+ MH4U and 150+ in MHW and now 70 hours so far in base xbox series s rise, having stuff locked at such high HR is ridiculous, i even hear Gunlance shelling max is also super high. I just makes people that are more casual not want to play it
I now realize a lot of people disagree with me on this. I just remember doing it at the time, i may have even streamed it, and having no issues. Maybe I was just lucky or my build carried me, but that was genuinely my impression of the hunt
I honestly don’t mind the MR quest requirements being that high. You say that MR is only a measure of time and not skill but if you gave that much time to the game then there is a correlation that you will also have a much better talisman, experience and gear set due to that time. Which equates to contributing more to a hunt. I wouldn’t mind them lowering the requirements as long as they don’t tone down a monster for it. But then multiplayer hunts would get even more grief’d with players way out of their league throwing the game. Even more so than already. (Remember the state of Valstrax hunts on day 1?) Which leads back to me being ok with there being a requirement. You say, “you can just play solo,” and, while that is true, you sound like you’re willing to throw the online experience down the drain just for the accessibility. You mention that it discourages players from grinding but I’ve seen the opposite. People who actually enjoy the game will put time into it. Others are there just for the one time experience and they wouldn’t have put in the time regardless of what rank they are. These players just join their friend’s quest for a day, fight the monster once or until they win, if they even can, (while getting carried by said friends) and leave again anyway. No grinding for the latest equipment or any of that. I’ve seen it happen. It’s annoying. I don’t mind having these quests be targeted for the people that actually play this game. The only gripe I have is that the anomaly level grinding is a slog.
I feel like I'm getting too many item drops from monsters to the point where its not even hard to craft a full armour set. Its too easy, especially when they give you so many ways to hunt monsters and so many quests to complete as well. And the anomaly quests for qurio crafting is just tedious as hell. The MR requirements I'm not really gonna complain about cuz I'll just get to 160 eventually. Also, I kinda wish we got some MR rampages or some new Apexes. As for monsters I want to see, honestly I'm just tired of the monsters from World and Iceborne and I welcome any monsters from other games.
Played it on launch finished the story and dropped it, picked it up again a few days ago and started a new save, really wanna get into the events and sunbreak, as long as i dont get bored of the gamr
I just started playing the monster hunter game recently. Never played anything like it b4 and it took me a month but now I'm HR 42. I dont even know how to get master rank yet.
I'm HR 108 with 111 Hours of gameplay and I'm burnt out. I do have a Greatsword Build ready for Sunbreak when it comes out on PS4 but I may not play it on launch.
Yeah man personally I think even 100 is high and considering the lack luster launch they should want more people to engage not hide it behind some arbitrary ..."grind check"..? ....
I think I was around MR 87-90 before I got burnt out. It just felt like it took so long to get to 100 and this is coming from someone who has been playing since 3U
i always appreciate videos like this and dont take me wrong the vid i guess very helpful for veterans but for new players like me i got lost in terminology and things that only players who have previously played the game would know about so just as a suggestion it'd be nice to clarify on the title of the video whether the info is for new players or veterans. Just a friendly suggestion :)
MR was never an issue for me just playing normally, and I only play one weapon so I never had to grind much. Anomaly research level tho. It just seems like neverending... I have had to go into weeks or months breaks because of burnout of just leveling that up.
They do like MHworld and add some event quests that boosts your MR rank a lot quicker and also add some food skills and armor skills that would do the same.
It’s a shame that solo play is more preferable for many players, me included(for mhrise). I can’t pinpoint what exactly is the reason or the probable combination of them but monster Hunter is a very multiplayer encouraging game since the beginning of the series. I poured hundreds of hours in world and iceborne and still continue doing so and most of that was multiplaying cuz it was that much fun to do so…
Yea I played world and iceborne online with open lobbies and didn't mind players Joining but in Rise and Sunbreak I only played with my cousin because I don't like the multiplayer in Risebreak,If I'm not playing with my cousin and want a multiplayer experience I request the lovely Minoto,Hinoa or Luchika to join my hunts and I'm content
new title update for risen glow valstrax is really hard. in multiplayer i fail so many quests because people cart so much lol, there wasnt alot of challenge before but now i think its ramping up a bit finally. it took a bit for me and my friends to get a hang of it, and you can still get one-shot if ur not careful.
Yeah the MR grind is a bit too much, but is also nothing compared to the absolutely ridiculous AR grind. At least you get MR for doing any kind of quests.
Put it like this. I thought that the requirements were so bad that I honestly put the game down first time. I've ever done that on a game because the grind was annoying
Capcom can't win. Previously when they've added the very difficult monsters the community moan that the rank requirement is too low and people are doing it without the gear and experience needed, so they up the rank requirements and the community still moans. I'm massively enjoying the sunbreak end game, I can certainly see myself sinking more time in to this endgame than any other and a part of that is that it's all made so that you can play it solo. I do on occasion play with friends but at least 90% of my time playing MH over the years has been solo and the lack of scaling in the old gen games meant that most endgame quests were extremely long and world was full of quests with forced multiplayer mechanics. I'm not sure I understand the RNG complaint. If you need a certain anomaly part there's multiple monsters that drop it, you still know what you're getting from hunting a certain monster. It adds variety rather than just hunting the same monster in the same location on repeat until you have enough of what you need.
I couldn't get back into it on switch after sunbreak. I guess after 300 hrs of the base game I burned out. If I could move my save to Xbox I would buy it again and lose another 300 hrs. Since I can't I moved on to Wild Hearts. I don't want to speak too soon but I may prefer it to Rise. It feels like World which was the goat. Def don't sleep on it! The game is LEGIT!
I had to take a massive break once the Quiro/Augment system got introduced cause I was like "omg its the Guiding Lands all over again". I just did not want to play the game at that point. Came back to playing the game in January of this year and man.....just wanting to get to AR 121 to get the Augment Skills+ felt like a slog. Armor Augments themselves feel awful to roll for, but I like the system. I like getting rid of useless skills and trading them out. I'm slowly coming back to playing the game weekly.
Sunbreak is my favourite MH Game along side with 3U. And Qurio Craft + Imvestigations are great ways to increase the longevity of the game hunting all the monsters roster instead of the same monster all over again (*coff* safi’jiva *coff*)
MR requirements seems fair to me and is much better than whatever the bs they did in IB, Qurios crafting is entirely optional and can just be seen as a bonus
I made a new hunter in world, finished the main story and iceborne story but got bored with it. So i made a new hunter in rise and I'm having a blast. I think i just enjoy the fast paced combat more as well as the silk skills.
I always loved the next monster hunter game. I actually like rise more than world. It took an awhile to get use to not having a claw but once I did, other than the altreon and fatalis, I wouldn’t say the difficulty is any different. The meta in world really had less monsters before iceborne and the min/max game was way too much of a rng grind. Not like rise doesn’t have it but a grind and terrible luck doesn’t make it “harder”. Anyways love this entry and can’t wait for wilds.
I play 1 hour almost every day and have just beated risen Teostra. New content is nice, I'm not struggling with the high ranks required for advancement but maybe is only personal.
Love the game. Got about 4200 hours in and after 3200 in gu. I love the endgame and the more to do with my grind. To much to little. We will all never be satisfied. Want my heavy arrows back though. Loved them.
Is there a point of getting this game if I already have monster hunter world? I played MH World for only 20 hours in total and took a huge break after. It was kind of hard to get back into it after the break so I never really did. Now Monster Hunter Rise in on a huge sale and I feel tempted.
I think my MR is 180 something on switch, but since the PlayStation version is out, I’m playing there predominantly now. Even with Base Game’s problems, I think arise absolutely rules. I started with World, but Rise made me a fan for the future.
Does the master rank go up slower then the hr? Got it day one on ps5 and im at like 180 ish already. Feels like ppl just don't want to play the game the high requirements is so you have a well rounded arsenal with options and armor upgraded.
I'm playing MHR for the first time since world , on my PS5 and I'm super jealous of the switch , I have a switch , but I don't know if I could tolerate the fidelity shift if I jump over.
Rushing through the content itself isn't really what players should be doing. They can comeback another day instead of unlocking everything within a week and never touch the game ever again as an example. If they are going to buy the game, they should take their time spending that $40-$80, instead of blowing it away within 1-2 weeks of gameplay. For players that don't have much time on their hands, that should be on them how they manage themselves, unless money talks.
Just ran across this great video, and game. My big question is : Do you only hunt "bosses" or are there skirmishes along the way? I Love the idea of a boss fight, but when I play in a casual time I would rather explore and kill "trash mobs". Is this possible in this game?
There is a expedition mode. You can explore, collect materials and fight any smaller or bigger monsters there. But the main chunk of the game is fighting a monster and getting that weapon/armor. It’s plenty of fun. Try the demo out and see how you like it:
I played on the switch, stopped at mr 50. I played with friends on xbox when it came out(now waiting for sunbreak) and i came back to the switch to hunt the new monsters. Currently mr 82 and you tell me the risens and things are at mr 160?....
I am new to Monster Hunter, Rise is my first game and have enjoyed it all the way through the grinding in sunbreak has been a little excessive I am @ 220 in anomaly investigation but I don't know if I would have done it if I played World I might have gotten burned out with the grind. I have Mario karts and have had every kart game made a little better graphics a little better game play but at the end of the day just the same grind I got bored quickly. I hope Monster Hunter 6 goes in a new direction a good story would be great don't know if I could get onboard for just more grinding. Will see when it comes out.
@@zayfanboy8 Yes, have not played with anyone in 20 years. I'm 65 and not very good and fall asleep sometimes when I'm playing. So I didn't want to be a burden or an embarrassment .
i personally like the mh160 requirement to help stop 3 carts in a hunt. And solo play is way too boring for me imo. Unless someone creates a better method to stop 3 carts, im open to any suggestion or method.
How do you guys feel about the new content in MH Rise? What monsters would you like to see added into the game?
The armor is bad, being launched afther world, theres really no drip even in sunbreak, you have such god like armor like the azura rathalos armor from 3 ultumate, rule of cool rules and sadly for male hunters they are mostly mid, aside from that, the dango prob chance is horrible 4/5 hunts the food doesnt act. the skils
@@l.r.j.r.6356bruh use dango tickets to get 100% food activation chance lmfao.
I enjoy rise. Would love to see Picklejho
@@l.r.j.r.6356are we playing the same game?
@@l.r.j.r.6356 you smoking horse glue
Love the game, but I don’t remember people being like, “I can’t wait for the next game!” when World was still releasing content.
Its just because everytime there are great expectations for a new Generation (the Sixth in this case). Rise is still Gen 5 like World
Confirmation bias. Rise released in a rocky state on the switch. A console different from the PS4 and PC and so since then a lot of people have been telling themselves it's garbage to justify the fact they can't play it. Rise got fixed and released for consoles and PC and quite frankly the reception has been great. All I see from new players is hype for Sunbreak. All the "fuck rise, world 2 when?" Has been coming from people who either played it from release or never played it at all.
Confirmation bias. And of course "lackluster updates". Sunbreak only needs 2 actually new monsters so that whole stigma against it goes. If it gets that, then the whole package would have honestly recieved better TUs than iecborne.
@@tahaelhour690 nah i just dont like rise because of how noob friendly the game had become. Got nothing to do with anything you said. You can like the game all you want. Doesnt mean its good
they wouldve made world better and added features from rise to there but seems like their target was the switch users. I like rise but world feels better as a whole game. I hope they make MH6 have the good in MHW and MHR and improve on it.
also I hope there's no rampage-like quests and stick to actual monster hunting
Yeah for me I've had enough of Rise's silkbind stuff & recovery/counter powercreep
I personally agree on the MR requirements being too high for certain monsters but as someone who just recently finished the main story of Sunbreak. You get access to A LOT of monsters straight off the bat at MR 10. Seething bazel, chaotic gore, velkhana, flaming espinas. Are all available straight up at MR10. And you still get a lot of monsters unlocked that way, inushi and narwa are very easy to get at 20 and 30 respectively for example. All in all there's not too much dead space in between grinds. Which is good.
Yeah completing all quests as I get them gets my level up. I don’t have to repeat missions
"i dont think ive had to hunt a monster more than 5 times to get its rare material"
(base rise purple magna orb grind flashbacks)
I hunted 26 bazelgeuses before i got bazel gem. Good times.
He must have gotten very lucky, I’ve had to fight all mother and valstrax at least ten times to get their rare materials.
Aaaannddd there's me whose reach MR 20 from MR 6 trying to get a single Gaismagorm mantle.
I even touched Afflicted Quest once, for raising my MR cap
I know they're not as rare, but I hate how hard it is to get Narg Medullas or that Magnamalo needs to be put to sleep or spam Wirebug skills that let you attack in the air to break his back to get Scutes.
Even at master rank 700, there is still a lot of stuff for me to do, and I only made sets for 3 weapons so far. Imagine making a meta set for every weapon type and element....
Also, the velkhana set is actually really nutty specifically for the greatsword, a 30% boost on a TCS on a sleeping monster is a huge boost
I personally want Agnaktor, my favorite monster from the first game I played, Tri.
thats my goal once I reach max anomaly level. If elemental weapons need different sets for every element to be efficient, the same can be said for using different weapons for different monsters. In previous games I used bowguns, long sword, great sword, dual blades, insect glaive, switch axe, and lance. Now its only dual blades, longsword, and light bowgun. I want to be able to pull out the best weappn for each monster, AND pull out the best set as well and for that there is a TON of grinding, practice, and fun ahead. I might even straight up replay the story with appropriate level gear just to practice weapons from the beginning.
Yea I'm returning to the game after Title update 2 and I only have access to Risen Chameleos but I still have access to Velkhana and Peppo's Velkhana build for sacred sheathe longsword is incredibly powerful so it makes up for not having the defense awarded by the Risen Elder dragon armors
@@savionmcqueen8944 Might as well upload yourself into the game at that point lol
@@airbornejay4962 🤣 honestly I re read my comment and realized how no life it sounds but I do work a 9-5 and barely get to play on my free time so my goal is something months in advance
You sound like someone I need on my friends list lol
I was somewhere around MR 130 before the most recent update, now I've grinded enough to pass 175 (first to unlock risen crimson glow and then from anomaly investigations).
Personally, I find the grind for research rank a lot more annoying and problematic. Sure getting up to 160 MR was annoying, but I was going to get there eventually, they added an event quest just to help with ranking up, and once I got there I was able to hunt it with my brother who was much further behind. With anomaly investigations though, the grind is even more insane (a lot of parts require rank 200+ which I'm not even remotely close to still). And if I do anything other than investigations, I'm not making progress towards that at all which sucks. And then there's the worst part, which is that people can't join investigations that are even slightly higher than their own rank.
In this case my brother can't join me on any investigations cause he's still a whole 80 levels behind me, and there's no point for me to join him because I'll get almost nothing out of it thanks to the level difference penalty.
Way too many people cart even at anomaly 128 so I think that restriction is a good thing, if you grind anomaly to 200 you probably won’t be seeing garbage players cart all the time
@@shrekonion7032 stopped playing online coz 95% of the time theres gonna be someone who will triple cart. Eh, single player with followers are better anyways. I think Rise/SB is best enjoyed solo (due to its fast paced and arcade-y gameplay) while World and other MH games are best played with friends (more immersive, longer gameplay).
anomaly investigation actually allowed me to do scorned magnamalo before even hitting MR100, risen teostra too. i was burnt out trying to get to mr100 before any other additions beyond now i'm on my way to mr110
@@ToniFalck Yeah, that's new with TU5. When I wrote this comment that was nearly impossible because of how slow the anomaly grind was, but now its literally 4 times faster until you hit 200
The armor augment could be fixed easily. One slot each, connect skills to monsters like masters touch to Teostra, use a point system like melding, fill in the points to gurantee it.
The weapon augments are perfectly solved with how targetable it is
To answer your questions I am a switch player sitting around 1200 hours and I’ve been playing since July of 2021. Currently I am MR750 and I usually play for an hour or 2 everyday but sometimes I work more so I can’t. I personally enjoy Quirio crafting since I’ve always enjoyed set crafting and I feel like this just adds another layer to armor skills.
This requirements is there because in IB many players complaining about Fatalis MR 17 where players who doesnt have even end game armor sets go on final boss of the game.
My rank is HR 438 and MR 204
Sure, make it MR 100 then, 160 is a bit absurd and TU 5 is probably going to further increase that
@@darkhero2 your experience is limited due to playing offline so much. this experience of lack of leveling doesn't exist in online play - just fyi.
My only problem in sunbreak are anomaly investigations, once you get a good hefty one with two or three monster for a quicker levelling it's stuck with you for every rank leaving the others behind, and picking up afflicted shrooms and stuff only gives quests with lower level or just one monster. And for some reason in the last four days of grinding, joining quests online has only gotten me to the same afflicted diablos and seething bazelguse investigation, for every, single, level. I seriously need help to get to 220
I love it , as someone who started with 3u I’m happy to say that this series never disappoints, rise/sunbreak is probably my favorite game to play due to me being more of a portable mh player.
im guessing you play on switch?
@@guutenks2498 yessir
I'm a filthy casual player so Rise is right up my alley. Also I play on Switch so its nice to be able to get in quick hunts as time allows, then settle in for longer hunts on the big screen on the weekends. Great game!
I initially didn't like the talisman RNG grind because it's not fun like how hunting a monster for RNG monster parts is, taking you out of the game and wasting monster materials by feeding them to the melder,then they added Qurios crafting and while I liked the Qurios weapon crafting because you had full control over how you want to upgrade them,I dreaded Quiros armor crafting because it felt like talisman farming but for armor,and I had stopped playing ever since that title update which I think was title update 2 if I'm not mistaken. Then when title update 4 came out I found out that in title update 3 I think it was,was when they added Aurora Melding and while I still don't like the way talisman farming was implemented I actually don't mind engaging in it now because I can actually target what I want in a talisman now in the same way(to a lesser extent)I can target what I want in a Qurios Weapon and while I Still don't like Qurios armor crafting title update 4 has brought me back to the game fully,I had 600 hours on switch for base rise when Sun break first dropped(Keep in mind that I got Base Rise in late 2021)so I was a bit late to the hunt but I pretty much played nonstop since I got it and then Title update 2 killed the game for me and it sucked because MH is my favorite game franchise of all time but I'm truly glad to be back in the hunt
Now as for the rank requirements for MR monsters I honestly don't have a problem with it even though I stopped a while back and am behind (stopped at MR 100) I actually don't mind the high Mr requirements because in my eyes it's catering more towards players who are at the endgame which I think is exactly what Capcom should be doing.Now this is just my opinion but if you're not willing to grind up to MR160 I don't think you really enjoy the game that much to begin with and I don't think being MR160 and having access to these higher ranked monsters will be enough to keep you wanting to play the game but again that's just my opinion.All in all as I stated earlier I'm really glad to be back in the Hunt and last night I reached MR117 & am looking for to the grind because that's part of the reason I love Monster Hunter,the grind doesn't feel arbitrary like it does in other grindy games.
Happy Hunting fellow Hunters
My biggest issues with Rise is that I can't search by monster and/or then just view open online Quests and pick one like in previous games, and that the follower mechanic takes away players from the online community.
I wish they should just move on to the next mh title. While rise+sunbreak is a great game and have the qol updates the game lost it's hunting aspect, no need to track monsters as it instantly shown in the map, no need for heavy item prep. Almost all weapon have counters. This iteration is optimized for speed running. I hope they stay away from switch skills and make it more about hunting not speed running everything to oblivion.
You do have a point about it. I’ve been playing rise for a few weeks, and still do. What got me concerned a tad bit was how much health they’ll have in MR most likely on the count of us beating iceborne monsters almost with ease. The MR grind just to get to the quest is annoying though. But that ain’t gonna get me down. Besides, I always bring my palico and palamute, and hopefully, followers around to help me out.
Meta sets still delete monsters tbh. You can finish a lvl160+ a8 investigation with multiple monsters in around 15 minutes of relaxed hunting
@@KripticHCS don’t worry. I’ve been seeing some CB metas, mostly involving elements. Even impact phial CBS have somewhat meta. I’m more of an impact person than element in all honesty. I know elements pack a bigger punch though. But I still go for impact phials as they help with the stuns.
I'm about 450hrs in the game, MR399, HR710, AR211. I've played the game about 99% solo, pretty efficient. Only played about 13h in the last 2 weeks. I play enough to do the content and maybe a few more things but after that I don't really care that much. Next thing to work on is hunting each monster 10 times for the scroll, and I only have maybe 2 more monsters to do.
Sunbreak only gets a small spike in players when TU hits.. then after a week or 2, numbers drop again cuz it's so easy to go through the content in just a few days and then not want to bother with the grind further. Once I get to AR220, there's nothing to do, and the game doesn't really motivate me to play the other weapons like MHW did.
I also really dislike the RNG augment systems on the armor. I think the weapon systems are fine, as they are set and you can organize them however you like with the slots and levels. The armor augments are not enough to want to keep chasing, nor is spending a bunch of time in menus adding 1-2 essence and waiting to see your crap roll fun or engaging. This also applies to wasting time in menus choosing monster parts to roll for talismen. It's not engaging gameplay, and the reward system tied to it doesn't feel good for the player.
I really think this approach to "hunt whatever you want" mentality created an environment where people don't care. They make it seem like the armor augments are additional, so you don't really ever try to perfect your gear. Same goes for talismen. All the people who hated the RNG for decos likes this approach, but I'm the opposite. I loved the build style of MHW, where gear pieces and decos fit together nicely like a puzzle. I don't mind RNG for decos because they are quest related and you can get them in a bunch of different quests. People can complain that some quests give the best rewards, but you can also argue that some quests in SB give the best monster parts for melding. The difference is that decorations as RNG rewards is a finite thing. The rewards you get from augments and charms is not.
Tldr
Actually worth reading
@@IanImperial19 thanks man, appreciate it. i never expect people to read stuff like this but i do it anyways to air my grievances somewhat. lol
They say they hate mhw rng deco, well youll hate a lot of rng here too in sunbreak, specially the game breaking armor augment
@@sebastianocampo71997 which is actually optional. You can just run good deco and fully upgraded armor and still beat everything. In MHW getting good deco is hard, and good deco is substantial to get a good run. Rng deco is bad because you actually need them and lot of them to fill in the deco armor slot, the "deco is puzzle piece to armor" is freaking bs, because what you need are locked behind the rng to get good run. Sb have its problem, IB also has its own problem. They are not better to each other
I completely stopped playing months before update 1 then came back after update 3 now I'll wait till update 5. It's ok but I've never put under 300 hours in any monster hunter game before.
MR 68, play every weekend, around 5-6 hours per weekend
At first, I liked the requirements for the urgent quest cause then I could play through a variety of quests, then it started to get boring, and I ended speeding through quests from MR 65, and I'm still on MR 68, what a pain.
They only real thing I dislike is the fact I can't assign any of my silkbind moves to any X or Y button I want, and the fact that I can't use the same ones in two different locations. What if I want double Counter Peak Performance? Not very viable, but I'd at least like to have the option.
The MR 160 requirement is way too much in my opinion. I bought Rise in November after TU3 was out, because I finally gave it a chance. And I played it a LOT - had a great time up until MR 70. But the grind to get to MR 110 to finally be able to get access to the risen dragon elders and therefore their armor sets which are a core to every build I wanted to make, was just tedious. I did a lot of rinse and repeat anomaly quests, farming materials for all the decorations I needed, crafting some armor and weapons for the final builds that I wanted to make but along the way I lost interest for this game. Everything I wanted to do was tied to reaching MR 110, which feels like such an unnecessary grind to stop players who joined the game at a later point gain access to such an important part of set building. It stopped being a grind for materials and creating better sets and started being a grind for a number that excludes players who joined this community a little later. I noticed that I wasn't enjoying it anymore after reaching MR 103 and I stopped. I have been taking a break since the end of January and was thinking about returning to the game. But just thinking about having to grind through 50 MR more after finally reaching MR 110 was the nail in the coffin for me :(
I love Monster Hunter! But this grind for MR just feels so badly designed with a complete disregard for newer players...
No collabs btw lol. The game Is almost at it's end of life cycle and no collabs for the máster rank
I honestly don't mind the MR 160 requirement because it's not really a thing. For those of you unaware, any hunter above MR 10 can join literally any quest, assuming their anomaly level is high enough. That means hunters fresh out of *final boss name* can do those hunts in lobbies with friends, streamers, or other hunters without issue. Admittedly, for solo players the grind is a lot, but you get extra experience for doing hunts solo and followers allow for a simulated hunt with friends.
The major problem I have is anomaly grinding. Grinding with people higher level than you is great since you can hunt within brackets of 20 anomaly levels (1-21, 21-41, etc.) The problem arrises when hunting solo, since your monsters are capped at your anomaly level, meaning grinding takes much longer. And since these are some of the toughest hunts in the game, you are going to spend upwards of half an hour or more fighting them with minimal payoff. But there is still a work around assuming you don't mind doing "Join Requests." Select a monster you want/need at the appropriate level, wait a few minutes, join that hunt and you gain extra anomaly levels. Simple, if at all a bit tedious. I'm assuming most players don't use this function, but it's there and works very well.
I think the criticisms brought up are totally valid for solo players. As one myself, it's a hard barrier to cross when you don't have all the time in the world. But if you want the grind to get easier, there are several ways to do so and they all involve other people. Sure, you are going to run into those people who wait for you to do all the work, but a vast majority of the community is there to help and I know for certain streamers on various platforms would be happy to help in lobbies.
I wanted to finish exploring all of the content available in world first, only to end up very behind in rise now, no regrets but after just starting Im only at HR3 paced with a less active player for the Multiplayer Missions; Also lost in the Nostalgia and severely missing being a kid playing MHTri RIP Lagi ❤
I'm at MR 201 and I just passed 400 hours in this game. granted a lot of that was before master rank was added, but when sunbreak released I would play it all day every day for about a month. to an average player that kind of grind is a huge barrier of entry. even I was concerned if I had a high enough MR when the trailer dropped (as I don't really keep track of it). I personally don't think there's any point to obscenely high HR/MR requirements and they're detrimental to the morale of beginner players
people gotta learn hard work and consistency somehow
Mr668 hr979 AR 199 (1100+ hours)
I play religiously from sunbreak - TU2 after that I injoy the new content but it wasn't anything to get me back in to sunbreak. So now maby a couple of hunt here and there
I'm master rank 605 and i have 800+ hours on The Nintendo Switch version. (75+ on Steam and 50+ on Xbox now). I'd like to have the master rank requirements lowered anyway to bring back old and new players.
I still to this day cannot understand why we got a variant of valstrax instead of the normal one I'm just confused by it nothing wrong with it but it's confusing
Frostcraft decos would be too brokenly OP, since you can already do crazy stupid damage just by augmenting buildup boost onto the 3 pieces and running a status weapon.
I’m currently at MR48 I took a substantial break once I got to MR5. Only until just recently have I started playing again. I’ve been grinding everyday and have made it through almost all of title update 1 monsters, I will take on title update 2 monsters once I reach MR 70 and then update 3 & 4 at 100 with the risens being whenever they are available. Hopefully will get it done by early-mid march but I’m not in a rush
Likewise. I stopped playing for a while
The mr requirement isnt a big deal, its exclusive to the MR normal risens. Besides,you have lots of content to do meanwhile,engage with the endgame such as anomaly investigations and the mr will come naturally. Also, base rise did have narwa too at launch, just not Allmother.
fr. if they just do them follower quests they can get at least 40 MR lvls minimum from all that. not having to grind MR lvls to unlock the cool monsters is just wack.

Another thing I find crazy is that if they put consoles on the latest patch. The amount of just sheer catchup for 160MR is insane
My complaint is squading up, it practically impossible to find a hub for monsters your hunting, everyone just does join quest help request, maybe I'm just use to mh4u hubs
Ikr I miss monster hunter 4. Also I don't feel any joy and excitement after defeating a monster and passing the game with rise.
Im playing only MonHun, so im already HR999 and MR999 on Switch. And im super happy because of higher MR requierments... Capcom decided to create the best game franchise in entire gaming history, and some people still prefer to play something different or at least not that much in MonHun... Its good that they are not allowed to discover entire content if they are too weak to understand how beautifull game they are playing
I'm an impressive MR2. Just started over after a long break since a couple months after release.
Take your time, enjoy the game!
For me right now i just cant keep playing because of the anomaly investigation its really awlful yes they did buffed it but still rng on which monster is and pretty damn grindy and another thing that just bother me are the event quests were i cant believe i would say it on a monster hunter game that this has to be the most lazy and unispired what happened to the crossover wheres the fun and charm and yes i know about Monster Tri but cmon guys
Most of my time is now spent grinding Anomalies, augmenting my armor meticulously to get specific augments and then repeat. Is it boring? Yep. But am i gonna stop? Not till my weapon is fully augmented
I played Rise for the first time on Xbox and loved it. I played solo DBs for 135 hours, now I'm trying out a meta Great sword build and as cool ae it is too see 500- 1200 damage in base Rise I absalutly suck with it so far 😂. I'll get there
learn to tackle - it's the butter to the bread part. just takes time getting knocked around until the timing sinks into reflex mode.
@@asianartist1 I will try to tackle with intention more. Maybe also stop TCSing away from the monster for all to see 😂. It's beautiful when you get a good meaty string going though.
I just got the game for my xbox one x from gamepass a few days ago, just reached HR6 amd I really like the game constant crashes are gonna make me stop playing real soon if they continue.. sometimes it crashes 3 times in an hour and I have had to repeat so many hunts and lost so many tail carves etc because of it since if it crashes in the hunt reward screen, I lose everything I got from that hunt and have to do it again.. it is frustrating and infuriating..
@@elitereptilian200 I wouldn't blame you. I have a series X and haven't had that problem but I would be frustrated if I did. The switch could handle it well enough so hopefully it gets patched or something for last gen.
@@ryanm2821 the game runs beautifully 60fps all the time with no issues except when it crashes..
I agree with you that Sunbreak is a phenomenal game, but I disagree that it has many problems, it has the least amount of problems out of any Monster Hunter game. Anomalies are great, MR requirements are really not too high, weapons are in a great place, endgame gear is more varied than any other title, RNG has been toned down.
Base Rise had a bunch of issues, but in my opinion Sunbreak has fixed pretty much all of them.
I really think companies have to finish the game first rather then let unfinished things come out early
I’m not going to lie, I started playing MHR after 6 months from not touching MHW and the one thing that is getting me is that I’ve been fighting both the Almudron and Anjinath for now close to 3 weeks and I’ve not once been given their gems. I’ve been needing their gems for me armor sets (Switch Axe and Horn). But I go around and fight a diablos or the Kushala Dora and I get their super rare drops in like 2 runs. It’s frustrating because myself and my group are getting to the point where we are going to get the sun break DLC just to do the investigations to buy these gems. Outside of that, been loving Rise.
I have watched many Rise fans reviews, and you Sir are one of the Few that Praised the difficulty, most of them just Say.
"One hit Repeat is not Difficult it's annoying"
And Honestly yeah that sounds Fair I can see the difference between the Two.
I have also seen Fairly Few people who praised the Grind, and by my Experience it might Pass MHW on how Grindy it currently is.
Honestly I totally agree with MR requirements being way too high. I'm a fairly casual player at MR 74, so i haven't been able to fight any of the risen monsters. I just can't really do that much grind. I feels like the work is going nowhere yah know? anyways I sill always fight the new monster that I can and just wish that the gate to other content wasn't so far off.
Been playing MH for over a decade so I can't relate to anything critical about the game. Its amazing, its not pay to play/win, and they add QOL every installment.
I recently started MHR with 70 hours of game-play using a new weapon Charge Blade and I'm currently level 145 with all necessary equipment to combat Rise's Apex Monsters. Mainly finishing all story quest, side-quest, Hub-quest, and event quest. I rarely do arenas, so reaching that threshold didn't take much effort, maybe 17 days to play real-time? I think the reason they wanted to make Master Rank expectations high is because of data collection and knowing that developers put in a lot of time making their designs, they wanted players to take their time to enjoy their creations. Compared to MHW it felt like Rise was more fast-pace and was incomplete due to the lack environmental interactions with what the monsters can do. They really do have beautiful maps this time around, but the monsters didn't really touch the map, just focused on one certain spot out in the open for fighting.
My mr is way over 700. Close to 800. I have 1370 hours in the game. 770 in master rank. The rank requirements don't bother me to say the least.
Got 100% on switch before sunbreak and played everything again on PC up until the update before this one. I haven't touched the game since last year and it's a shame because I enjoyed it but I just don't feel compelled to play it these days
I’m not in master rank yet because I started playing it when it came out on Xbox, I love the game to death but I’m waiting on sunbreak
I love anomaly rank requirements. My biggest criticism of Iceborne was that once you reach MR100 (which is not that high) you pretty much unlock access to everything, leapfrogging you to very late endgame.
I wanted post game unlocks to be more well paced in World so that you keep unlocking new fights 100s of hours into the end game.
I'll be honest, Curio crafting and the cash shop have kind of turned me off to the game. I'll still play it now and then, but I'm not doing the serious grind that I've done in previous games. In fact I've gone back to playing World. I'll give Capcom credit where it's due, but this constant power creep has turned me off to the game right now.
Regular Velkhana in Iceborne has a fairly weak ultimate attack sadly but Arch Tempered Velkhana’s ultimate attack has carted many a hunter. It hits like a truck even in Fatalis armor so if you get hit by it and you dont have something like divine blessing then you will probably get one shot by the 360 beam, if you’re lucky enough to survive the beam attack then it also freezes you to the ground so you can’t avoid the ice waves, it’s pretty dangerous. I don’t think AT Velkhana is more difficult than Fatalis or Alatreon but the attacks hit very hard and she’s quite aggressive so I think you were a little harsh in saying it’s one of the weakest of the hard monsters. The ultimate attack is pretty straight forward to avoid as long as you are always trying to stay close and be careful, but i’ve seen people cart to it many times.
Wasn't the game unfinished due to COVID or something?
I sincerely hope that for the next monster hunter game that they do away with these insane systems that are just there for player retention. They need to return to a more grounded style like the old games where you have your weapon, your armor, and your palicoe. These anomaly things and ranks are just way too much. That's actually what burned me out of the game.
220 hrs here. MR 124 and HR 300. I understand the level requirements. I find annoying that since the followers system was introduced, I can't find any players to play with. I que up endlessly for AI and nothing happens. I only find ppl to play event quests and this only happens the first few days of the quest.
MR 70 maybe 71. I'm trying to grind to the new content but it's just so long. Not to mention the RNG in tailsman crafting. I hated the decoration system in world and I hate how it is with tailsmains in rise
It just feels so bad right? The high MR requirement feels like such a bad design choice for players who joined late or were taking a longer break from the game. After MR 70 the focus is not about grinding for new cool armor sets, decorations and weapons anymore, it is about getting that number up... yay. Imagine finally reaching MR 110 and then having to grind 50 more levels :/
"never fought the same monster more than 5 times for it's rare drop".
My first 50+ hunts of seregios for it's "mantle" got way out of hand. I envy your luck.
Did I hear you right? AT velkhana in Iceborne was easy? Whaaaaat I had to solo it because groups would constantly wipe
I now realize a lot of people disagree with me on this. I just remember doing it at the time, i may have even streamed it, and having no issues. Maybe I was just lucky or my build carried me, but that was genuinely my impression of the hunt
I got the game from gamepass few days ago, I really like it but I sure am glad I didn't buy it like I was going to at first.. the reason is constant crashes to the xbox home screen, the game freezes,the music of the game keeps playing but the game is frozen and I am forced to "alt & f4" to the home screen and launch the game again and it does this sometimes three to four times in an hour and usually mid hunt so that I have lost so much progress and had to repeat so many hunts because of it.. I really like the game but I' m gonna drop it real fast if this crashing continues..
When will it go on sale on steam again? Gonna grab it :)
Its weird, since Rise got announced to release on Xbox, my friends have been stoked to finally play since they neither have a switch nor (gaming) PC. It’s been a blast showing them the game but prior to this I played Rise from pre Final boss title update to now but now I kinda stopped grinding nearly as much on switch (MR 400 after Velkhana and RCG Valstrax) since I know in the long run I’m going to be spending more time on the console version with my friends. It just feels kinda off to explain, wondered if anyone had similar sentiments?
I'd say that's normal, why would you want to play the Switch version when u know you're probably gonna end only playing xbox once Sunbreak drops.
I was exactly the same, as soon as they announced the Xbox version I immediately stopped playing Switch even tho I was playing every day before that cause I love the game.
But the game runs and looks so much better on the bigger consoles that I don't even wanna touch it anymore on Switch, I only played on Switch recently for TU4 to kill Velkhana and Risen Val once that's it. Besides that I'm staying on xbox.
I also don't wanna burn myself out with the switch version cause I wanna go ham when Sunbreak releases on xbox, planning to play until MR999 and beyond.
They should add cross progression so the switch version can exist as a purely portable version of the game
I started playing rise because of a sale one the e-shop that included all the dlcs.
I loved the game and i think it is phenomenal when you play the game today. Learning of how the game was at launch i can understand why some people dont have a positive perception twords rise.
Best way to experience it is today when all the content is there fully finished.
I’m HR 424 and MR 178 I had the game when it was first released nd played all the time but took breaks here and there because of burnout I also have 810 hours and a lot of that is me making outfits cause fashion hunters and just sitting idle
As someone whose had 350+ hours i MHUG3, 250+ MH4U and 150+ in MHW and now 70 hours so far in base xbox series s rise, having stuff locked at such high HR is ridiculous, i even hear Gunlance shelling max is also super high. I just makes people that are more casual not want to play it
Yeah, a feature that would be so helpful for GL users is locked at MR 141
2:55 'one of the weakest AT monsters'....excuse me wtf? I slap Fatalis around like a little child but AT Velk...she puts the fear of god into me
I now realize a lot of people disagree with me on this. I just remember doing it at the time, i may have even streamed it, and having no issues. Maybe I was just lucky or my build carried me, but that was genuinely my impression of the hunt
I honestly don’t mind the MR quest requirements being that high. You say that MR is only a measure of time and not skill but if you gave that much time to the game then there is a correlation that you will also have a much better talisman, experience and gear set due to that time. Which equates to contributing more to a hunt. I wouldn’t mind them lowering the requirements as long as they don’t tone down a monster for it. But then multiplayer hunts would get even more grief’d with players way out of their league throwing the game. Even more so than already. (Remember the state of Valstrax hunts on day 1?) Which leads back to me being ok with there being a requirement. You say, “you can just play solo,” and, while that is true, you sound like you’re willing to throw the online experience down the drain just for the accessibility. You mention that it discourages players from grinding but I’ve seen the opposite. People who actually enjoy the game will put time into it. Others are there just for the one time experience and they wouldn’t have put in the time regardless of what rank they are. These players just join their friend’s quest for a day, fight the monster once or until they win, if they even can, (while getting carried by said friends) and leave again anyway. No grinding for the latest equipment or any of that. I’ve seen it happen. It’s annoying. I don’t mind having these quests be targeted for the people that actually play this game.
The only gripe I have is that the anomaly level grinding is a slog.
I feel like I'm getting too many item drops from monsters to the point where its not even hard to craft a full armour set. Its too easy, especially when they give you so many ways to hunt monsters and so many quests to complete as well. And the anomaly quests for qurio crafting is just tedious as hell. The MR requirements I'm not really gonna complain about cuz I'll just get to 160 eventually. Also, I kinda wish we got some MR rampages or some new Apexes. As for monsters I want to see, honestly I'm just tired of the monsters from World and Iceborne and I welcome any monsters from other games.
Played it on launch finished the story and dropped it, picked it up again a few days ago and started a new save, really wanna get into the events and sunbreak, as long as i dont get bored of the gamr
Lol try different weapons there are 14types each type is unique of its own,make u feel like ur playing a new game
@@tahirdawah245 yeah i know, i dropped it for no reason😂 but now imma grind all the way to sunbreak and further
I just started playing the monster hunter game recently. Never played anything like it b4 and it took me a month but now I'm HR 42. I dont even know how to get master rank yet.
I'm HR 108 with 111 Hours of gameplay and I'm burnt out. I do have a Greatsword Build ready for Sunbreak when it comes out on PS4 but I may not play it on launch.
Yeah man personally I think even 100 is high and considering the lack luster launch they should want more people to engage not hide it behind some arbitrary ..."grind check"..? ....
I think I was around MR 87-90 before I got burnt out. It just felt like it took so long to get to 100 and this is coming from someone who has been playing since 3U
i always appreciate videos like this and dont take me wrong the vid i guess very helpful for veterans but for new players like me i got lost in terminology and things that only players who have previously played the game would know about so just as a suggestion it'd be nice to clarify on the title of the video whether the info is for new players or veterans. Just a friendly suggestion :)
MR was never an issue for me just playing normally, and I only play one weapon so I never had to grind much. Anomaly research level tho. It just seems like neverending... I have had to go into weeks or months breaks because of burnout of just leveling that up.
They do like MHworld and add some event quests that boosts your MR rank a lot quicker and also add some food skills and armor skills that would do the same.
There's a few that make your MR jump higher. Like the shagaru event quest.
For the record this was posted at teh start of 2023
The MR is the only reason I haven’t beaten sun break completely. I’m MR 86 but I just can’t bring myself to play those last few to 100
It’s a shame that solo play is more preferable for many players, me included(for mhrise). I can’t pinpoint what exactly is the reason or the probable combination of them but monster Hunter is a very multiplayer encouraging game since the beginning of the series. I poured hundreds of hours in world and iceborne and still continue doing so and most of that was multiplaying cuz it was that much fun to do so…
Because the npc ally. And they are also pretty smart and not counted to faint count
@@shutup1037 you’re definitely right on that aspect
Yea I played world and iceborne online with open lobbies and didn't mind players Joining but in Rise and Sunbreak I only played with my cousin because I don't like the multiplayer in Risebreak,If I'm not playing with my cousin and want a multiplayer experience I request the lovely Minoto,Hinoa or Luchika to join my hunts and I'm content
@@izanagiorochi5145 that’s exactly what I am doing too
@@dennislaishram5673 Happy Hunting
I stopped after the title two update, I think? I just was bored, and the following title updates haven't sucked me back in yet.
new title update for risen glow valstrax is really hard. in multiplayer i fail so many quests because people cart so much lol, there wasnt alot of challenge before but now i think its ramping up a bit finally. it took a bit for me and my friends to get a hang of it, and you can still get one-shot if ur not careful.
Yeah the MR grind is a bit too much, but is also nothing compared to the absolutely ridiculous AR grind. At least you get MR for doing any kind of quests.
Put it like this. I thought that the requirements were so bad that I honestly put the game down first time. I've ever done that on a game because the grind was annoying
Capcom can't win. Previously when they've added the very difficult monsters the community moan that the rank requirement is too low and people are doing it without the gear and experience needed, so they up the rank requirements and the community still moans.
I'm massively enjoying the sunbreak end game, I can certainly see myself sinking more time in to this endgame than any other and a part of that is that it's all made so that you can play it solo. I do on occasion play with friends but at least 90% of my time playing MH over the years has been solo and the lack of scaling in the old gen games meant that most endgame quests were extremely long and world was full of quests with forced multiplayer mechanics.
I'm not sure I understand the RNG complaint. If you need a certain anomaly part there's multiple monsters that drop it, you still know what you're getting from hunting a certain monster. It adds variety rather than just hunting the same monster in the same location on repeat until you have enough of what you need.
I couldn't get back into it on switch after sunbreak. I guess after 300 hrs of the base game I burned out. If I could move my save to Xbox I would buy it again and lose another 300 hrs. Since I can't I moved on to Wild Hearts. I don't want to speak too soon but I may prefer it to Rise. It feels like World which was the goat. Def don't sleep on it! The game is LEGIT!
I had to take a massive break once the Quiro/Augment system got introduced cause I was like "omg its the Guiding Lands all over again". I just did not want to play the game at that point. Came back to playing the game in January of this year and man.....just wanting to get to AR 121 to get the Augment Skills+ felt like a slog. Armor Augments themselves feel awful to roll for, but I like the system. I like getting rid of useless skills and trading them out. I'm slowly coming back to playing the game weekly.
Sunbreak is my favourite MH Game along side with 3U. And Qurio Craft + Imvestigations are great ways to increase the longevity of the game hunting all the monsters roster instead of the same monster all over again (*coff* safi’jiva *coff*)
lol - oh.... the safi grind :D
MR requirements seems fair to me and is much better than whatever the bs they did in IB, Qurios crafting is entirely optional and can just be seen as a bonus
I made a new hunter in world, finished the main story and iceborne story but got bored with it. So i made a new hunter in rise and I'm having a blast. I think i just enjoy the fast paced combat more as well as the silk skills.
I always loved the next monster hunter game. I actually like rise more than world. It took an awhile to get use to not having a claw but once I did, other than the altreon and fatalis, I wouldn’t say the difficulty is any different. The meta in world really had less monsters before iceborne and the min/max game was way too much of a rng grind. Not like rise doesn’t have it but a grind and terrible luck doesn’t make it “harder”. Anyways love this entry and can’t wait for wilds.
I play 1 hour almost every day and have just beated risen Teostra.
New content is nice, I'm not struggling with the high ranks required for advancement but maybe is only personal.
Imo if you play a little bit of late game Mr 160 is easy to get. I did builds for lance, long sword, bow and db and I had ~180 after this
Love the game.
Got about 4200 hours in and after 3200 in gu. I love the endgame and the more to do with my grind.
To much to little. We will all never be satisfied.
Want my heavy arrows back though. Loved them.
Is there a point of getting this game if I already have monster hunter world?
I played MH World for only 20 hours in total and took a huge break after.
It was kind of hard to get back into it after the break so I never really did.
Now Monster Hunter Rise in on a huge sale and I feel tempted.
I think my MR is 180 something on switch, but since the PlayStation version is out, I’m playing there predominantly now. Even with Base Game’s problems, I think arise absolutely rules. I started with World, but Rise made me a fan for the future.
Does the master rank go up slower then the hr? Got it day one on ps5 and im at like 180 ish already. Feels like ppl just don't want to play the game the high requirements is so you have a well rounded arsenal with options and armor upgraded.
I'm playing MHR for the first time since world , on my PS5 and I'm super jealous of the switch , I have a switch , but I don't know if I could tolerate the fidelity shift if I jump over.
Rushing through the content itself isn't really what players should be doing. They can comeback another day instead of unlocking everything within a week and never touch the game ever again as an example. If they are going to buy the game, they should take their time spending that $40-$80, instead of blowing it away within 1-2 weeks of gameplay. For players that don't have much time on their hands, that should be on them how they manage themselves, unless money talks.
Just ran across this great video, and game. My big question is : Do you only hunt "bosses" or are there skirmishes along the way? I Love the idea of a boss fight, but when I play in a casual time I would rather explore and kill "trash mobs". Is this possible in this game?
There is a expedition mode. You can explore, collect materials and fight any smaller or bigger monsters there. But the main chunk of the game is fighting a monster and getting that weapon/armor. It’s plenty of fun. Try the demo out and see how you like it:
I played on the switch, stopped at mr 50. I played with friends on xbox when it came out(now waiting for sunbreak) and i came back to the switch to hunt the new monsters. Currently mr 82 and you tell me the risens and things are at mr 160?....
I am new to Monster Hunter, Rise is my first game and have enjoyed it all the way through the grinding in sunbreak has been a little excessive I am @ 220 in anomaly investigation but I don't know if I would have done it if I played World I might have gotten burned out with the grind. I have Mario karts and have had every kart game made a little better graphics a little better game play but at the end of the day just the same grind I got bored quickly. I hope Monster Hunter 6 goes in a new direction a good story would be great don't know if I could get onboard for just more grinding. Will see when it comes out.
You play alone ?
@@zayfanboy8 Yes, have not played with anyone in 20 years. I'm 65 and not very good and fall asleep sometimes when I'm playing. So I didn't want to be a burden or an embarrassment .
havent played the game for a long time since i dont really have people to play with im thinking about giving it a shot on ps4
i personally like the mh160 requirement to help stop 3 carts in a hunt. And solo play is way too boring for me imo. Unless someone creates a better method to stop 3 carts, im open to any suggestion or method.
