  • @geremysorlinigiguere9535
    @geremysorlinigiguere9535 3 ปีที่แล้ว +84

    One note I'd add to differentiate the Gunlance and Lance is speed. At first glance Lance and Gunlance can look like the "Daniel vs The Cooler Daniel" meme, but the reality is that they're two opposites of a coin.
    The lance is fast and constantly aggro - chaining that three hit combo over, and over, and over, always hopping between combos, mixing in the counters. It is a non-stop flurry that keeps on going. The gunlance, on the other hand, is slow, meticulous, but hits like a truck. The lance is like the defensive duelist, light on its feet, quick, agile, always in your feet, while the gunlance is the knight in full plate, slower, more patient, heavier.
    So while they might seem similar in that they're both big shield weapons, in reality they'll behave much differently, so if you're looking to pick up one of those tank weapons, consider wether you normally gravitate to the fast paced weapons, or the slow, heavier hitting ones.

    I'll second your review of the Switch Axe. My first MH was World, and I used the Switch Axe before realizing it was generally considered a more "complicated" weapon. That said, it's really only as complicated as you want it to be. It remains quite viable even if you keep it in axe mode almost all the time. Then if you're feeling adventurous, dip your toe into some sword action. That's the main reason why I never even tried any other weapons in World - I was having too much fun with the Switch Axe.

    I’ve been a bow main all my life, dabbled with Insect Glaive and Charge Blade a bit, but Bow is still 90% of my play time.
    MH Rise is the first MH I’ve played where I had this desire to use almost every weapon. The new mechanics and wirebug moves adds such a layer of gameplay that’s just... ugh. Phenomenal.
    It’s amazing how Capcom, not only make 14 incredibly distinct weapons, but adding the witebug to compliment everyone’s style of play too.

    • @vitriolicAmaranth
      @vitriolicAmaranth 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Other way around for me, though this was a problem in World too. I always played every weapon but starting in World most of the weapons felt bad to use, and they just threw out what a lot of weapons (bow included) used to be. Meanwhile (especially in the context of how different everything used to feel) most weapons feel the same now too (ie it's all slow stationary burst damage that you spam but with arbitrarily good mobility when not attacking, so for instance if you look at both objectively DB is just GS with bad reach and sharpness problems). Really sad.

    Personally I will use 3 weapons:
    Dual Blades as my main weapon: Light category, Cut damage, Hight dps, really good for cutting tails or just kill the monsters fast, also really good in online or solo
    Bow as my mid/long range weapon: Technical category, Shot damage, also Hight dps, can be used as support in online and is really good at solo too
    Hammer as my knockout weapon: Heavy category, Impact damage, Hight single hits (which in the end result in a hight dps as its a really fast weapon for its weight), really good in online or solo
    This way I have the 3 weapons categories, the 3 of the 4 damage types (fixed is the last type), all are really good for solo or online, are really good for farming and play similar, I know they have the same downside: the management of stamina, personally for me its not a downside in world I completed the game with the Bow and the Dual Blades, so I know how to manage that and Rise Dual Blades are just a lot better, its not that stamina consumer as it used to be, these 3 weapons are the ones that felt more naturally for me and I had the most fun playing, even though I never used a Hammer until Rise's demo it just felt so natural for me, it was like using a giant impact dual blade (it has a beyblade attack too), using these 3 will be really good for solo and online as all 3 of them are just awesome in those category so that's why I am using them

      I never played Monster Hunter World though; this'll be my first Monster Hunter game. I'll be going with sword & shield (though I may experiment with longsword after getting better at the game); it's easy (well, easier) to use based on my experience with the demo, and it allows me to play as a left-handed character; as a left-handed Zelda fan who was extremely disappointed that Nintendo made Link right-handed in Breath of the Wild for no good reason, it'll be nice to play as a left-handed character on the Switch.

But that has nothing to do with the weapon. It's the players, so every Long Sword player should have a chance, at least for one hunt.

    I'll be going for Insect Glaive at least for my coop adventure. For the singleplayer portion, I want to try as many weapons as possible. Gunlance, Lance and Switchaxe are my most beloved weapons, but it's time branch out once again. Last time I did that was 4U.

  • @akaimizu1
    @akaimizu1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Nice coverage here. I would also mention that Bows have one other complication as a ranged weapon. The one Bow-specific complication that one should get a feel for the proper attack distance, for damage. If you are too close or too far, you do significantly less damage with your attacks, depending on the arrow type chosen. Something the Bowguns don’t deal with. In a typical MH game, one could feel for the proper distance if the screen shakes upon impact.
    Just wanted to note that because when I go between Bows and Bowguns, being cognizant of that distance aspect is one basic part of what greatly changes my approach in combat.
    Also, for new players trying out the heavier weapons like Great Sword, take note that rolling is your friend. Without rousing rolls to cancel animations, not only will the startup seem long, but you will feel open and vulnerable, for some time, after the swing. Recover much more quickly, if you roll at the end of your attack or combo. You may see that in the video here. For Great Sword, you can also use stuff like wire bug Power Sheath to quickly put your sword away, gain back all your mobility, and get a healthy boost to your weapon damage for a bit.

    I struggled with a weapon switching between hammer, dual blades, and sword and board during the PSP life. Then I tried switch axe with the DS until I decided to give Charge Blade a try. I’ve been charge blade since. Insect Glaive was nice for solo work because of the speed and mobility and it made mounting sooo much easier. But now I’m definitely 💯 Charge Blade main.

    Both are not for me.

    Started of in Rise with the Charge blade, because it looked so cool in the demo. However I struggled to get to really grasp the weapon, which kinda became a problem for me when the monsters got tougher like the Barrioth for example. I then started looking at other weapons and after trying out Greatsword for a bit my eye fell on the Banabra bows, I still think they are one of the coolest looking weapons in the game. Thanks to those hovering pests I am now a full on Bow main. I really love the mobility it has in this game combined with the range to really keep an eye on what the monster is doing. It only became better for the further I progressed to the game as I could get more stanima skills to higher levels (Constitution/Stanima surge) to really keep the action going!
