Captain Astronaut: Players have to decide on their armour, if they want more defence, elemental resistances, etc... Players: I will only ever pick what does the most damage
I remember the first time soloing G rank alatreon, it feels amazing, i was on last cart and already accepting i'm fighting a losing battle but then the screen cut to alatreon falling from the sky and die,it's my third attempt after 2 failed attempt that last good 45 min each,the feeling of shock,confuse,disbelief and then joy 10/10 would hunt him again
@@igeljaeger uh there sure is shitters. You dodge it by making sure you're not deadweight, beat the dps check and chug your astera jerky. May not be literal but you ain't dying and it's a very intentional mechanic to keep worthless idiots out. Glad i play solo.
Monsters eat to recover stamina when tired and sleep when they are low on health (25-15% depending on the monster) to heal by around 5% if not interrupted
"It's a feeling of, "We did it!" Not a feeling of, "Glad that's over."" I dunno about other hunters, but my mileage varies on this. I feel like everyone must have a handful of monsters they just dislike having to hunt. For me, almost any Elder Dragon makes me have the "glad that's over" reaction.
My favorite monster is Valstrax and his fight is easily my favorite in the whole series! Everytime I kill him( I've killed over 300 of the poor jet bois) I get an incredible feeling of euphoria!
@@jackkrell7313 Valstrax is one of the few Elder Dragons I don't dislike hunting, and I quite love him, too. It's probably because he doesn't have any gimmicky nonsense, it's just a straightforward hunt against a jet-powered dragon. And he can't get a free hit from his roars like Teo/Luna/Kush.
u kno what I think what you said about the speed of your attacks being slower than most other games being a turnoff has been true of me as well, I'm definitely someone who likes to move fast in games, but hearing you talk about how this is all deliberate and it's worth the learning curve makes me actually much more interested in learning more about this game series. thank u mr. spaceman
Try out something like the dual blades or sword and shield! They can move fast and dodge a lot of the time, but have big commitment combos if you start getting more confident in when to attack. You can do it!
Some of them even went to the himalayan mountains for iceborne just to study the habitats of the animals that live there so they can replicate their movements and etc. for monsters in the newer games. They really go above and beyond just to make the monsters feel life like
As MH veteran I know you illustrated everything a new player should know about monster hunter before getting into the game. This is video really good and should be sent to anyone who on the fence about the series.
Greatsword in Monster Hunter is basically "you will never hit anything. but when you DO, it will HURT and feel awesome. so as soon as you for ONCE hit that monster, instead of being knocked around like a rag doll trying, he will take huge damage and likely be knocked down for free hits"
actually i'm pretty sure monsters only gain health by sleeping. when they'r eeating they're just regaining stamina (hence why they only eat when exauhsted)
The grind section reminds me of the time i had to farm for rathalos plate in MH4U. Hunt the f*cker so much that i could hunt him before 4 star quests when i play World.
Watching this really made me miss the many great and fun mons from XX. Also the visual effect when you land attacks on their weak areas was so damn satisfying
I love arena fights where there's constant pressure making all your decisions much less of "I'll run out and run back in when I'm ready again" and more of "there it is, this is when I whetstone ao I don't get hit by the monster" that is unless you chose to bring a farcaster in which you have to decide when it is the right time to use it as you might need it later when you truly need it or spend it now when you can use it
Monster Hunter has become one of my favorite games since playing and getting hooked to Monster Hunter World. I know some complain about it but it got me hooked. Hell I bought a Switch OLED just to play Monster Hunter Rise and also Zelda Breath of the wild. I’m still getting use to Rise and how the new mechanics work. I am having fun and I like that even when I join up with random people I’m still able to beat the hardest monsters. Obviously not all the time but a lot of the time I can. I don’t have a group of people to play with so it’s great that it is possible.
"But if you get once, and don't get hit again for a while, a portion of your health will restore, thereby not punishing the player too greatly for making one mistake, and even rewarding them for playing smarter after their mistake." *Laughs in EX quest*
Good stuff! You really nailed how complex the games are beyond their seemingly simple premise, I never even gave much of a thought to the impact fighting a monster in a different locale has in tackling the monotony of the grind but you're so right in that the games always give you the opportunity to fight them in different places and keep things relatively fresh I would say GREAT stuff but unfortunately that "British" accent at the start is holding you back. Never do that again
Fudj!! I love your videos! Also thanks! And a lot of my favorite TH-cam game design people (including you) have British accents, but yeah I...I clearly can't do one haha
If I need to convince someone into trying MH, im gonna recommend this vid. You encapsulate everything I want to tell someone to get them intrigued about the franchise summarized in 10 minutes
and then W:IB alatreon came around and showed us the pure suffering of what an undodgable one shot attack that you don't really get told how to weaken is
Nice breakdown. I had only ever watched videos of MH games until I got a Switch, and Gen Ult was possibly the most invested I ever got into a game in my life. Now that Rise is out, I can't wait to actually be there for the hype of updates and new monsters.
Great video!! Summed up why I fell in love with Monster Hunter! Too bad some of this designs are lost to the post World monster Hunter. Probably staying in GU
this video just helped me realize how much i trivialize monster hunter with my ridiculous builds that focus on life style changes like faster sharpening faster potion eating plus health regen on hit and over time with max defense and free meal and full stun negation
Anticipation is right when my great sword. Or hammer is flipping over my head and going to hit the mob I do a weird motion in my chair where I like mimic the motion the char onscreen is. By the time it lands I'm 3ft closer to the tv. I can't be the only one?
I can't contain myself!! (But also part of me is dressing since I wanted to make more Monster Hunter March videos before is comes out, so I can just sit back and enjoy the game haha)
@@CaptainAstronaut hell yea! You tried the Bow guns with gyro yet? I know you’ve played a lot of Splatoon I think the gyro aiming is damn near perfect I’m MH as well. What do you think?
It's a feeling of "we did it", not a feeling of "glad that's over" Eeeeeh, I personally have the later feeling againsts a type of monsters I call "you can't touch me lol", and against Khezu, because it's Khezu...
It is a bit dificult to play since I am used to others games rhythm, but I am getting used to it and getting less frustated when I lose, because now I understand it was my mistake for not playing well than the game being clunky or slow. Also, I have been hunting witht eh bow or the sword & shield. "I am playing Zelda" like you said XD
At least 90% of the monsters in monster hunter arent coded to read inputs and nail you from 100 yards when you try to heal. LOOKING AT YOU, ELDEN RING!
6:05 Capcom is notorious for not giving enough telegraphing to attacks, designing monsters to be as hard as possible and then toning it down. There is plenty of 1-shotting depending on the game and rank. They're getting better about it in recent games, but I find it a chore to defeat hyper monsters in GU who can kill me in an instant while it takes me like 15 minutes or longer to whittle them down. You have to actually like, get good at the game, to enjoy doing that, but I already wasn't enjoying it. I just got addicted...

I'm so excited for Monster Hunter Rise!!

Fun fact when coming up with monsters they literally go to the zoo for a few hours

I appreciate that assault on my ears with ur British accent
One important thing: You lose sharpness every time you hit. So if you use a Seregios greatsword (sharpness gain on dodge) you never need to sharpen.

Monster hunter world is great I just started playing it beat it. Now MR 2 and loving it
Great video. Hearing someone talk about Monster Hunter game design is really cool.
Man that is a new way for me to look at the game
I love when someone loves so much something it's able to make other people engaged, despite their knowledge in the subject.
This. This is the best explanation I've heard of why Monster Hunter is rewarding to play. Great video.
So excited for rise!!!!!!!

Nice breakdown. I had only ever watched videos of MH games until I got a Switch, and Gen Ult was possibly the most invested I ever got into a game in my life. Now that Rise is out, I can't wait to actually be there for the hype of updates and new monsters.
And don't forget the companions. Cats and now dogs also. At some point tribal overlords but it was a different time

Beautiful video man you truly captured well the essence of this game
When Astro said "bombs" the first thing I thought of was the "bombs?" meme.
It's yours my friend
You just need enough rupees
Why do you cover the best franchises :3 hyped for more MH content!

well damn, this is a really good video to show to people to invite them to play
and the music is so good
MonHun is one of the main reason why I was able to survive Dark Souls when it came out.
4:50 4th gen Garuga defied that law. If you are in close range, the charge will hit you before it starts doing so.

man now im really sad i still can't get Monsti Hunties at the moment.
Gotta save up.
This is the first confirmation I’ve seen that monsters heal by eating.
Loving all the MH content~
the video was pretty cool, but I would have liked a less sudden end, that was surprising
I don't know man, there are definitely hunts where I am saying," Glad that shit's over." *cough* Khezu *cough*

escaton judgement : haha yes but actually no
World/iceborne however forces the players to use elemental weapons only for alatreon or fit in the fighting style of final fantasy with behemoth
This is a great video but i couldnt help but notice that you used dragon weapons on Silverlos and Valstrax, both are immune to dragon
Amazing cat names 👌👌👌
FELLAS hunter monster hunter forever

One word... Lunastra...
Monster don't regenerate health when they eat but stamina, they regenerate health when sleeping but it's a negligible amount.
Great video still
I am a simple man In world I only ever used the greatsword... no like only the greatsword.
Non elemental boost and basic greatsword build... big fun
U can finish the game even with mid tier armor, just more difficult but it will still be enjoyable.
That explains why I love mh
This was awesome
At least 90% of the monsters in monster hunter arent coded to read inputs and nail you from 100 yards when you try to heal. LOOKING AT YOU, ELDEN RING!
Clue to player what attack they are about to use. And then rajang punch is instant
