I don't think Wilds has you as "an npc", that's why they gave the player character a voice. And that's why I like the cats talking, they feel more like a character than a gameplay mechanic. I've also always wished they had a voice cuz they talk in text boxes.
good morning! I appreciate your (and this community's) opinions in the mh sphere, it feels as if there's a high degree of toxic positivity without any real negatives other than graphics or npc/skin appearances. Anything worth enjoying is worth critiquing. I put my opinions in edits below this point! edit: augh i hated the clutch claw on lbg, hitting a monster with it twice for light weapons or whatever? for the birds. edit 2: gotta make the negation gem-ins not take 5 hecking levels just to make the endgame elder/elder grade monster armor seem amazing, go back to 3/3u level tier stuff, 4u at worst edit 3: the menus in world make me nauseated, i get simulation sickness and a degree of motion sickness with certain games, i don't want a hecking menu making me nauseated edit 4: i miss beautiful food. edit 5:mh rpg where you raise monsters a la rune factory, when edit 6: interactive farms are defs missed edit 7: veggie elder. where is he? edit 8: i want visually appealing in a fan-thyself way armor again, they did the wroggi chaps wrong edit 9: deco names should be simplified to the skills edit 10: i can't sacrifice deviljho at the beginning of my hunting day if the pickle isn't there. me and friends would hunt a jho in the name of RNGeezus before hunting for what we wanted. edit 11: people don't understand what a live service is in general. i'm not surprised that the person at 36:00 thinks like that, there is a lot of confusion around tge term and a lot of misuse as well.
yeah it's really weird how even the critiques are limited to "only the things that the large creators tell us is ok to critique" e.g. the pocket horn bs. Basically its ok to criticize made up bullshit that isn't actually true, rather than real issues that people deal with every day. We're glad to have you here!
Tbh World had definitely a lot of live service elements. It wasn't as developed as something like Destiny, especially because the game had a defined life cycle of 2.5-3 years, but a lot of design decisions and systems were absolutely there. Which tbh it's pretty normal for home console MH. The series had influences from MMO since the PS2 days. Fuck, Dos was essentially a miniature MMO on PS2, and it was used as the very base for Frontier.
An unnecessary detail that I'd like to see: A mechanic of not needing as much earplugs when you're to the side of a monster or behind vs in the front of it
My biggest issue with rise/sunbreak is super subjective so maybe I'm just being weird, but to me everything in rise/sunbreak feels small - the maps, the monsters. Instead of feeling immersed as this tiny hunter hunting huge monster in a huge world the way I did in World or 4u, I experience rise/sunbreak as though through this 3rd person omniscient top down perspective. Like the game is a diorama or toy set that I'm playing with rather than a world I'm experiencing. I think it's less aesthetic, and more just the speed and maneuverability of hunters in r/s due to the wirebugs. When you can just sail over the map, it feels small. When you can easily slide or jump from the front of the monster to the back in an instant it feels small. there's also the camera - it's pulled back in rise compared to world or earlier games, I think mostly to enable the wirebug movement - you have to be able to see where you'll go - but as a result your hunter and the monsters are much smaller on the screen. On the one hand it makes telling what's going on a lot easier, but there's an immersion hit to it, at least for me. still like rise/sunbreak a lot, mind.
The lack of a pause feature is definitely the biggest gripe I had with World. Especially with how busy I've been recently, being unable to pause basically stops me from even booting up the game unless I know I have an hour or so where I'll not be interrupted. It doesn't even matter if it's a hunt I can finish quickly (sub 10 mins for me lol), because if I get interrupted before it's done, I can get sidelined for upwards of 30mins and even trying to come back and finish is just a frantic mad dash at best. Ultimately, the issue is that I generally play solo, so I really see no reason as to why a pause function can't exist in that setting. Like, it's not something that ruins the game by any means, but it's exclusion is sorely felt.
big agree. the fact that rise's pause is hidden inside a menu isntead of a button was already annoying, let alone not having one. In fact, I alos play elden ring, and I specifically installed a pause button mod on it. It's a game meant to be fun, it's not an obligation or a job. Let us pause.
Agreed, the only way I can "pause" the game is with the Steam decks sleep mode. Itll kick you outta the online session but as long as your playing solo its fine, it wont boot you out of the hunt.
My only complaint with tenderizing is that the clutch claw wouldn't always hit the part of the monster you wanted tenderized. In the worst cases, you couldn't clutch claw at all.
My biggest real concern is PC performance. Frame Gen on pretty decent cards at 1080p to reach 60fps, where FG is supposed to be used only when you have MORE than 60fps without it, indicates serious issues with performance in Wilds. Likely CPU related, since upscalers were not mentioned at all for recommended settings (while they were for minimum specs). We are likely to get similar issues like with Dragons Dogma 2.
That's my concern as well. I have a 6900 xt and a 5900x and can't maintain 60 fps in 1440p. I was very disappointed. I haven't launched the game in months.
@@SleepyRPGman I heard that the CPU issues in DD2 have been remedied by quite a bit recently, so it might work for you now. (CPU issue in a RE Engine, open world game, sounds familiar, doesn't it).
think it's moreso smoothness of play, 1440p isn't a big ask, and if it's struggling to be smooth at 1440p, then the industry standard 1080p likely isn't smooth either. i remember mh world on release making my pc scream and i had an i7, 16gb of ram, and a 1080ti, the top tier at the time to many people, and i had only a pair of 1080p monitors, and ran the game on just one of them. there is no reason for a modern game on NORMAL not extreme settings to do that, and if a high end rig in the upper 10% of computer builds can't run it right at either 1080p or 1440p, then normal people in the other 90% of the gaming market range can't either... iirc mhw also destroyed some folks' hardware. i hope that won't happen again.
@@DragonaCryotalon1440p is quite a big jump from 1080p tbf. Either way, you're right. Current PC requirements Capcom listed for Wilds are not looking well. We are more than likely be getting DD2 situation again. EDIT: And yes World did not work well at launch either....
With the first one with Shinies: Shinies will not even be in Wilds at all. Any kind of extra drops from breaks (except for having to carve tails) yes this will be automaticly picked up by you. And don't worry about the handler thing she is far better than the one in world. Alma is going to be great.
Your response at 17:06 how world was more frustrating and you or the other guy said it more satisfying to portable 3rd is exactly same thing for I find world frustrating so I'll go right to playing MHGU.
The button layout i can confirm that monster hunter rise for the pc version does include the nintendo pro controller layout. Might be because the game came out for the switch.
nah.... the feelings are mutual, i will never agree with this " WHAT WE WANT " ... there's' no WE. Capcom is not stupid, whatever WILDS ends up becoming, whether you like it or not.. the game will be what the DEV'S envisioned the game will be. by the way, can we all stop this WORLD vs RISE gas lights, because it's getting really annoying at this point, all it does is add fuel to the fire.
Well i guess its a bit late but i would love more than 3 saved characters. Most people probably wouldn't care but i like to go through base game when i want to learn a new weapon. I dont think we need 20 saves but 5 or maybe even 10 would be very welcome.
You aint alone, picking up and learning a new weapon at HR5 (alreadly having the mats and just crafting it right away) feels like I didnt earn the knowledge if I dont start from the bottom. Even though the option is there for me to replay all the key quests (heck I could even wear basic chainmail armor and bring my defense down so the hunts are tough), It still kinda feels like im cheating a bit? Heck try putting into words the pride you get from using a weak starting hammer and working hard to get the mats to get your first upgrade that makes a huge difference in the next hunt ya know?
@kilowhiskyforge4337 yeah I think that last section is a very important part of every weapons journey through the game. Helps you learn a lot. Trying to guide a new friend that's playing a weapon you don't know is hard. Especially when it comes to what monsters offer you useful equipment from early and mid game
I like layered armor where it is. Vanity should be one of the final things you start working towards. Building those encyclopedias is part of the community experience. The roar has been a staple from the beginning i dont see it ever leaving. I feel a deep hatred for stun but its been here since the beginning so I wouldn't attack it for its tenure. The could be refined though.
Mine is for them to remove the auto (Full) reload when I unsheathe my HBG (even though I still have some bullets left on the clip), it destroys my momentum of having the opportunity to shoot the monster when it's flinched etc.
@@bisdakaraokeatbp This is because you are unsheathing your HBG (or LBG) by pressing the reload button... You have to unsheathe with the shooting button in order to immediately start shooting upon unsheathe rather than reloading. You're welcome.
I dont so many quality of life features. Auto tracking monsters, restocks at camp, no hot/cold drinks and all of that. The "Hunting" part of Monster Hunter start to vanish in favor of a boss arena brawler, but this isnt what Monster Hunter used to be. Preparing ahed of a hunt used to be important, would you take that extra potion or leave it for some crafting material, what skills will you bring, and stuff like that. The camp tent takes almost all the preparation and the decision making proses away. In endgame World and Rice i have my inventory decked out in max potions and crafting material for more, traps and all the materials to make more, my whole inventory cluttered with all the things i do and dont need without any thinking of what i might need, because there are so few things i do need and if i missed them, i can always go back to camp and get them. And while am at it, i want to complain about the Clutch Claw and everything related to it. When i speed run in Iceborn there is just so much i need to set up (in addition to maximize buff/time), Softening, Triple smack then launce to force an enrage, managing hit zones as well as hit's damage as to not cancel a topple, stun or para with a clagger, since claggers take priority over everything and will override it, canceling the first CC with the shorter clagger. And then we have the nufed hit zones to compensate for the softening. To a regular hunter, only the softening mechanic might be noticeable, but when you get into the details of it, there are just so many small things that add little tediums that add up.
What's your opinion on the Wilds UI we saw so far? The ugly wiggly health bar aside (if it really is an accessibility option) it's once again so ridiculously small, the clock was moved to the right side for some... reason, etc.
If it stays small, I'm gonna be annoyed. but if i can toggle it on and off easily, i'd rather play with no UI and quick toggle to check health. i like the cinematic look of no ui.
@@iixxion That was removed since World, sadly. You could always toggle on or off the entire UI in pre-World games. This is gone since World, where instead you just pick which part of the UI you want gone. This is the same in Rise.
One of my biggest concerns is the forge/upgrade menu. It's very annoying popping back and forth trying to find all the bits I need for the weapon I want. Wouldn't it be cool if you could hover a tier 8 weapon and see the whole list of stuff needed for it, maybe even with little pictures of the monsters it comes from!?
If you lost connection for some odd reason (it happens), you won't get access to any event quest. A thing that somehow wasn't a problem in any previous game neither Rise. Combined with the infinite loading screens in PS4. Please don't do that ever again Capcom
One of the few things I hate about MHW that aren't, deep down, just me not being good enough at the game, is that the animations to do things are too annoyingly long. I wish there was a mode where you walk up to a quest handler, press a button and in the next frame, you're seeing the quest menu fully rendered and if you close it, in the next frame it's gone again and you can move around. I do appreciate the immersiveness of the animations in the early stages of the game, where I'm more invested into immersing myself into the world, but by the time I've defeated my 100th once-in-a-century elder dragon, the game has gamified itself to the point where all an animation does is waste my time. Other than that, something that I could just get good enough to avoid, but that just kind of annoys me to no end is when monsters have dash attacks where they deal damage on parts that aren't even moving all that fast, like the tail that they're just dragging behind them.
In World/Iceborne you can hold down right trigger(if it's not it's one of the triggers or bumpers) to speed up animations like opening your map, the handler opening her book for you, and the zoom in to the quest board. Makes a big difference honestly, but I'm definitely not opposed to having it immediately pop up and down like previous titles.
I love the "press X" conundrum. Since the major controllers have their X button on a different spot, it takes extra brain power to know what button is X. But yeah, i a 3rd party Nintendo Switch controller, and its annoying that MH dosnt have a Nintendo layout.
shinys - let the paliko pick them up as well. They gather already. (Adds imersion, or have them there permanet/longer.) Pause - Should be there. Loadout/Refills. - with no limit it feels to strong. So most failed quests are you being just too lazy to go back. (Bad psychological.) Slinger ammo - i see no issue. (I don't like rises wild life. Spiders to pick up e.t.c.) Scoutflies - add toggles. I don't want to see all the gathering spots any time. E.t.c. Hot/Cold Drinks. - I like them. It adds to the world. Gathering. - Add mega tools to get more at once. If you want to do a gathering run. U.I. rise is just better to use. Cutscene should be always skipable. Free aim as standart options. The snap is more anoying me. (Deppends on the mayority.)
12:30 the fact a legally blind person can see with scoutlfies but cant see without them, is actually quite damning to scout flies as a concept. Because that means the amount of visual stimulus that a non-blind person receives is enormous. Give the blind players thier own disability option, and keep the scoutflies out
Don't agree with everything, but it's always interesting to see/hear how others feel. A lot of these things I just got used to, but the design behind it does suck and should change. The separate forge/upgrade menus being a big one. My absolute biggest gripes seem to have been fixed in Wilds thankfully: lack of pause button and copy/paste weapons. I will say, though, it's a little hypocritical when you make the comment at the end that people don't like you criticizing their favorite game, but go on to glaze Rise by essentially saying it's flawless (saying your critique video would be a youtube short of just staring at the screen). Off the top of my head, spiribirds and rampage quests were both god awful mechanics. Streamlining was a consistent criticism I've seen from you and the comments, yet Rise also continues this trend. Monsters automatically showing up on the map at mission start and mining/digging grabbing all resources in one animations as opposed to three being big ones. Just seems weird to criticize this in one game, but not consider it a criticism in another. I only played base Rise and havent played it in a while (I plan to after finishing my playthrough of Iceborne) so Im definitely not the best to create an exhaustive list, but Im sure there's plenty of other critiques to be made at the same level you have for World.
Not sure I agree with your position totally, but I think I'm on your side here, I hate and avoid spiribirds and rampage quests in Rise(I also only have base rise), I also wish the monster wasn't visible on the map at the start as then you'd need to actually HUNT the monster lol, I do like the one streamlining of the gathering though- saves time. Personally I feel Rise is heavily streamlined but the ddevs put in just enough good things(I also hate silkbind skill but Id be a hypocrite If I didnt say I use the hammer dash-breaker constantly) to balance out the loss of those little things that make Rise about, well hunting monsters. Hunting being the key word there.
@kilowhiskyforge4337 Rise is a fantastic game and did a lot of things right. I'm personally not a fan of the wirebug moves, but the switch skills were an awesome addition. I don't even mind the streamlining as much. I prefer having to track the monster myself, but I also enjoy the scout flies. One of the biggest things I enjoyed about World was how much it made you feel like you were in an actual functioning world/ecosystem. Something that I think is lost in Rise a bit. My main point for even commenting in the first place is things just feel a bit hypocritical. There's a lot of negativity on this channel towards World (don't believe I've seen anything celebrating what its done right) to the point that everything is thrown under a microscope. So I feel it's only fair that Rise get treated the same way, but when brought up it is treated as flawless. It just devalues the critiques of World in my opinion. It takes the video from "these are the misteppings of World that I dont want repeated" and pushes it into "let me tell you why this game sucks." Rise is the most recent MH so it should be in the convo too and also picked apart to show Capcom what they shouldn't take over from it.
@@acidikdrake4602 you may have a point there, Im still new to the channel itself so I cant personally confirm the bias youre speaking about. I DO feel like MHWorlds was SO different from any other main title that controversy was bound to happen, though I did see the writing on the wall that the basic Worlds formula was bound to be repeated in future AAA titles. I absolutely agree with you on how Worlds made you feel like just a small part of a larger ecosystem, it was an amazing and groundbreaking MH title that gets shit on so much (Imo) because of the clutch claw, menu UI, etc. Never before in a MH title have I felt intrinsic to the actual story as much as I was in World (MH4U besides). Ultimately, I think you make a very good point, and my prediction is once Wilds is released, we'll see more stringent criticism of Rise as a direct/modern comparison
"Streamlining" is not a complaint in my video. There is nothing hypocritical about me liking one game over another. You can criticize Rise all you want and I won't get mad. I promise! In fact, I asked you and everyone else to do JUST THAT in the comments! So when I get enough shit to bitch about in Rise, I'll make a video! Come over to the discord and write up all your complaints. There is nothing in Rise that annoys me, other than the anomaly grind being waaaaay too long. Would I like to have tracking features in Rise? Yes. Does it annoy me that they aren't there? no. Would I be annoyed if the Rise tracking was the same as World tracking? absolutely. I've made no bones about being partial to Rise. To me, it's a much better game. That's the point of my videos. To share my opinions on things. I'm not here to give some sort of "objective" "journalistic" analysis of each game side by side. I'm not sure what gave you that impression, but it's never been the case in any of my videos. But to be very clear: my preference for Rise is based on playing World/Iceborne for about 2500 hours, and playing Rise/Sunbreak for about the same amount of time. It's not uninformed, or based on the director, or any preconceived ideas I had of either. Nor is it based on the platforms. PS4 sucks, switch kinda sucks. But i have both on PC and they both run phenomenally well there.
@iixxion Honestly? Fair response. I haven't watched all of your videos, but I appreciate the topics you bring up, the questions asked, and the discussion. Even if I don't agree with your takes, the discussion being had is interesting. I had assumed all games would be put under the same lense, or at least Rise given there will be some overlap with Wilds. So that's on me for building that assumption. You're right that it's not hypocritical to like one game more than the other, but that also isn't what I said. I personally think they're both great games that do some things right and other things wrong. Maybe hypocritical is a bad word choice? It's just weird to me to trash a game so hard, but then act like the one you prefer is flawless. To your point, though, that's on me for expecting different content than what you're providing. So I should just realize I'm not the target audience instead of projecting how I think these talks should go. Quick note, but I thought streamlining was brought up by you in your vid(s). I must have just conflated user comments to what you yourself were saying which is my bad. I am curious at this point, though. You have 2500 hours in World/Iceborne, but I haven't heard you say anything positive about it (once again I haven't watched all of your videos so I could have missed this). Legitimate question here, but do you even like the game? If not, then why play for so long? If you do, then what part(s) did you enjoy? No snark or sarcasm as I am legitimately curious at this point.
Noting that wilds is taking more of a path from world, I still think it would still be interesting to see what you dislike in Risebreak that you don't want to see in wilds?
Red monsters feel wrong, mh4u apex were cooler. I don't really have many issues with Rise tbh. Too much light colorful crazyness going on screen maybe. And having companions when there are more than 2 hunters is too much stuff on screen as well.
calling it a "shitshow" preemptively such a doomer mindset this is the monster hunter team were talking about, the only dev team that i actively trust because of how they handle their games. worse thing they ever done to the series are lousy pc ports that got fixed and dogshit DRM that capcom enforce on their games.
i mean werent all the currently untrusted studios trusted at one point? look where that got us garbage left and right. i thinks its more worrying that ppl such as yourself exist, ppl hat have absolute faith they wont turn to doo doo and dont question things like the fact wyverian ears layered armor used to be free now is locked behind a preorder. but chill bro its just some silly ears nothing much, its not like every other notorious bad studio started like that as well, now they selling u dlc before the game even comes out. ur mindset scares me u gotta be a lil bit more negative, have fun and dont be a long sword main
Hey for all the ones with the shiny problem at the beginning ( myself included ), it is confirmed that there are no shinys anymore. it is somewhat related to the new wounding mechanic as well, but in generall monster part drops will be send directly to your inventory, so no need to pick them up anymore and no loosing out on materials :)
@@manuelschwarz9864 that works.. i think it's the streamlining that bugs me so much, it feels like they're just making mh more and more arcadey and idk how much i like that rn lol
@@maddo-hq9jr yes but you dont get to see those shinies at all, so basically they are not there for you. they drop and boom, in your inventory, and alma ,,picks them up''
The Kulve Taroth Siege rewards from base World. A limited event that offered some of THE best weapons at the time….if you got a lucky drop. Let’s not do that again, please and thank you!
Honestly, I don't really want an MMO style raid boss again in MH. They basically force you to play online bcs doing raid solo takes a lot time and very solo unfriendly, especially like Safiijiva where the energy levels reset if so much so as leave the game. Games like 3U, 4U and RiseBreak are good for people like me who plays solo and in short burst session since there are other responsibilities people have that demands attention like college or work.
@@geebon5850 I solod every monster and put a thousand hours in Iceborne but still never did Safi/behemoth because its seige and you cant fight it normally like Fatalis or Altreon. Makes me sad to this day.
@@kevo300 If they ever bring back Safi I pray that its a normal hunt instead of the annoying raid mechanic, I bet they could make Safi one of the best hunts if they designed him with solo players in mind.
As someone who has played Rise on a midi piano (by use of a software that maps midi inputs to keyboard and mouse inputs) DEAR FUCKING GOD! I agree with that person who says Rise's M+K Inputs ARE TRASH!! Capcom literally FORCES certain groupings of actions together. Not even JUST like they were on a controller, oh no! Some arbitrary BS method that they thought would be a good way to map M+K!! The way they did it made it literally impossible to have silkbinds while I was playing Ranged on the midi piano. Again, no way they could have known, but like ... MAKE AN ACTUAL PC PORT CAPCOM! NOT JUST SOME HALF-BAKED CONTROL SCHEME, BUT A LEGITIMATE CONTROL OPTION!! Rant aside, more control over our control methods would be appreciated across the board. I have several friends who might stick around, might not, but would be a hell of a lot more likely to if they just let us rebind controls in game so the button mappings showed up on screen properly. And it's not hard to do. It's literally the first thing I code every time I learn a new engine. Controller support and player control is SUPER IMPORTANT for a LOT of people.
If capcom puts pronouns in Wilds, I'm not gonna get angry and rant about it, I'm simply done with the franchise. If they cross that line or put in a trans npc who actually identifies as the opposite sex or a they/them, then I'm also done. I won't be buying it, not even on sale if they cross this line in the sand. You can't put it past them either since they put "they/them" selectable pronouns in the SFVI character creator.
It's hard to optimize for PC because there are so many different combinations of processors and graphics cards. Not to mention the operating system and amount of ram plays a part too. That being said Capcom is terrible at optimizing their games on release.
I want em to get rid of the infinite restock at camps. You should prepare properly for hunts. Gathering tracks should stay, it’s part of the immersion, not sure about the scout flies. I don’t really care that much about the sorting issues or smithy UI that much, I don’t see it as a big thing.
I dislike some stuff, but to me it doesn't even matter anymore. Capcom never fails me once in each generation of mh, i was thought to adept in each generation 😂. As long as i can get the game to run at 1080/60 or 30 even at potato mode for my PC, I m gud. Been playing for so long I just get used to stuff 😅
Rise and Sunbreak was my first Monster Hunter, my main issues with that game were that I couldnt truelly learn a weapon from the start because of switch skills. Gunlance was completely phased out of my mind when I joined because its good mobility tools were locked behind progression. The game and community from the onset dictated that it was a game of parries, with it starting the player off with the longsword, and community sentiment surrounding the weapon ("Longsword is OP because it has the most parries"). In Rise your playstyle is dictated by your switchskills rather than your armor skills. For example: in Rise for Charge blade you have to choose on a scroll whether you want to SAED spam, or pizza cutter, as they share the same switch skill. Contrast this with Iceborne World, where SAED cancels INTO pizza cutter. This made switch skills feel reductive to me whenever I made the swap to try out World and Iceborne. Another example is my main: Lance. Insta block, as good as it is, feels like it removes the point of every other block option that the weapon has. The focus on parries in Rise, I feel, leads to defensive decorations feeling useless and harmful to the game with how much they take up space in the UI. There are so many useless skills assigned to deco gems that I cant actually find any skills I would want to use. Theres a deco for every individual elemental defense, one for every debuff, and a hard version of each of those. My recommendation would be to have a flat "elemental defense" gem which just boosts every elemental defense stat (or if you wanna make it actually good and usable make it scale on percentage so that Divine Blessing doesnt feel like the only mitigation skill worth taking). Make CC afflictions (paralysis, sleep, mud, and water) consolidated into 1 or 2 gems. Defensive build crafting just in general needs an overhaul, but its issues are abundantly clear and they leak into other parts of Rise and World by adding clutter. Why are Geologist and Botanist 2 seperate decos? You're never gonna use one and NOT the other. That may be a nitpick on my end because Geo and Bot is less of an issue and they do actually do 2 different things, but elem defense and CC afflictions all do the same thing, they're just flavor swaps, either consolidate it, or buff elem defense to high hell to make it actually worth investing in.
Alexa, define "Echo chamber" No but fr tho, idk if I've just come from worse games but like... Are these REALLY the things you guys have a problem with..? Like have any of you played COD, Destiny, CS, Apex, etc? These games have had or do have LEGITIMATE problems. Content/updates being abysmal, balancing being horrible, terrible dev to player interaction. Yall are really sitting here whinging about the slightest problem in the menu? Most of this video and the previous video comes off as some entitled whining about basically nothing. I don't know about yall but if ALL these problems are SO bad, why is World still the most played MoHun game? I mean you guys bring up SO many points I feel like if they were really a problem players would be leaving for Rise in DROVES.
echo chamber: an environment in which a person encounters only beliefs or opinions that coincide with their own, so that their existing views are reinforced and alternative ideas are not considered. just because something is popular doesn't make it beyond critique, and saying that people shouldn't mention what they consider to be issues is only reinforcing a toxically positive echo chamber. apex, destiny, cs, cod, WoW, r6 and so many other games are excellent examples of why a fandom should be alert to changes over the years, most of those went from critical and mass appeal darlings to being dunked on for lazy cash grabbing, bad map design, feature creep, transaction bs, and live service bullcrud. they are what mh is at risk of becoming, because the same sentiment of 'whataboutism' and 'well x isn't as bad as y, z, and a' that you are expressing is why they got to where they are now. it's been a long time since 2009 for me, and i really don't want to see yet another franchise that is loved by many go their way.
@DragonaCryotalon very well said! kinda weird that someone who plays terrible games doesn't want us to improve ours. not sure what he wants us to do: advocate for fixing CoD? I've never even played that game. I have no interest in doing his homework for him! Maybe he just wants us to suffer as bad as he does when our franchise quality degrades to the level of his? idk. But he has shed light on one thing, which he ironically almost realizes toward the end of his comment: he asks why aren't people leaving world in droves? It's because the world playerbase is dominated by people who came over to MH from all the terrible franchises that he listed, so they think world is actually amazing and has no flaws! They are used to terrible games, so they don't realize that MH World's interface and QoL issues are actually quite bad for a MH title, and from the standpoint of good design, rather than simply comparing it to terrible games.
I completely understand where you come from. I was playing the same games when I got sucked into world. The first playthrough of a MH game for anyone always has a special pull, and for a long time I ignored most of the complaints with it. I can absolutely see them now because (I am assuming here) from the perspective of the more established Monster Hunter fans, some of the design decisions absolutely rocked the community. I never saw that because i came from Slop. To me it was my new base line so when I heard the old guard complain, I dismissed it. (here is where i get opinionated) Slop games will always have Slop problems. Monster Hunters problems aren't Slop problems, However, they still matter. World still doesn't bother me at all, but i can absolutely acknowledge some of its short comings (especially UI).
@@iixxion Speaking of having someone else do homework for you, interesting that you waited for someone ELSE to disagree with me before commenting. Congratulations, you’ve added nothing to this conversation.
@@DragonaCryotalon I understand where you’re coming from, but when games like those go to shit it’s not because the devs just got lazy or started hating their players. Overmonitization, the live service model, quick and lazy game design, etc. all of those things are more often than not the result of executives wanting to make more money while cutting corners. MHWI is like eight years old, and they’re actively taking their time with Wilds. I guarantee you these problems are either fixed or not seen as problems, instead being seen as artistic design. I can understand being mildly frustrated with some of these, but not only do I think it’s extremely nitpicky, but I also think the framing of this video is built on negative criticism. It’d be super nice if more of his critiques were actually constructive, but unfortunately for the most part, his criticism boils down to, “I don’t like it, it’s trash, bad game.”
That could be said for any title. For example, you could say that wilds is also rise 2, with followers, switch skills, reptile palamute equivalent, and more. Another example, you could wilds isTri 2 with monsters eating other monsters, swimming, a small wild race you can talk to, in depth environmental design, heavier emphasis of free hunting, and more. each monster hunter title builds upon several prior entries, not just world. Just saying its a sequel of a single title is missing the bigger picture of how devs implements features from several different entries.
@@Cayden.1 like world, this game is rise's aesthetic inverse. so no, its not rise 2, even though it includes certain improvements first used in rise. if the portable team's next game has ninjas and palamutes that would be rise 2.
@@VocalSynthUtau aesethtic is not the only metric to judge a game being a sequel or not, you cant just ignore all the other aspects listed and only use anesthetic as criteria for a game being a sequel. Wilds has a different aesthetic from world anyway, being a much more heavy story game with a more dramatic narrative. If anything Wilds has an aesthetic similar more to 4U with a mysterious monster causing trouble and the guild sending us to investigate
@@Cayden.1 aesthetics is everything. try looking up "what is aesthetics" on google or youtube or something. its not just how the game looks. it is the ideal that the game is trying to reach. rise aims to be the most fun monster hunter ever. world and wilds aim to be the most "cinematic" monster hunter ever. thats how capcom themselves describe it.
I don't think Wilds has you as "an npc", that's why they gave the player character a voice. And that's why I like the cats talking, they feel more like a character than a gameplay mechanic. I've also always wished they had a voice cuz they talk in text boxes.
good morning! I appreciate your (and this community's) opinions in the mh sphere, it feels as if there's a high degree of toxic positivity without any real negatives other than graphics or npc/skin appearances. Anything worth enjoying is worth critiquing.
I put my opinions in edits below this point!
edit: augh i hated the clutch claw on lbg, hitting a monster with it twice for light weapons or whatever? for the birds.
edit 2: gotta make the negation gem-ins not take 5 hecking levels just to make the endgame elder/elder grade monster armor seem amazing, go back to 3/3u level tier stuff, 4u at worst
edit 3: the menus in world make me nauseated, i get simulation sickness and a degree of motion sickness with certain games, i don't want a hecking menu making me nauseated
edit 4: i miss beautiful food.
edit 5:mh rpg where you raise monsters a la rune factory, when
edit 6: interactive farms are defs missed
edit 7: veggie elder. where is he?
edit 8: i want visually appealing in a fan-thyself way armor again, they did the wroggi chaps wrong
edit 9: deco names should be simplified to the skills
edit 10: i can't sacrifice deviljho at the beginning of my hunting day if the pickle isn't there. me and friends would hunt a jho in the name of RNGeezus before hunting for what we wanted.
edit 11: people don't understand what a live service is in general. i'm not surprised that the person at 36:00 thinks like that, there is a lot of confusion around tge term and a lot of misuse as well.
Yeah capcom communities has a lot of toxic positivity
yeah it's really weird how even the critiques are limited to "only the things that the large creators tell us is ok to critique" e.g. the pocket horn bs. Basically its ok to criticize made up bullshit that isn't actually true, rather than real issues that people deal with every day. We're glad to have you here!

Tbh World had definitely a lot of live service elements. It wasn't as developed as something like Destiny, especially because the game had a defined life cycle of 2.5-3 years, but a lot of design decisions and systems were absolutely there. Which tbh it's pretty normal for home console MH. The series had influences from MMO since the PS2 days. Fuck, Dos was essentially a miniature MMO on PS2, and it was used as the very base for Frontier.
An unnecessary detail that I'd like to see: A mechanic of not needing as much earplugs when you're to the side of a monster or behind vs in the front of it
My biggest issue with rise/sunbreak is super subjective so maybe I'm just being weird, but to me everything in rise/sunbreak feels small - the maps, the monsters. Instead of feeling immersed as this tiny hunter hunting huge monster in a huge world the way I did in World or 4u, I experience rise/sunbreak as though through this 3rd person omniscient top down perspective. Like the game is a diorama or toy set that I'm playing with rather than a world I'm experiencing. I think it's less aesthetic, and more just the speed and maneuverability of hunters in r/s due to the wirebugs. When you can just sail over the map, it feels small. When you can easily slide or jump from the front of the monster to the back in an instant it feels small. there's also the camera - it's pulled back in rise compared to world or earlier games, I think mostly to enable the wirebug movement - you have to be able to see where you'll go - but as a result your hunter and the monsters are much smaller on the screen. On the one hand it makes telling what's going on a lot easier, but there's an immersion hit to it, at least for me.
still like rise/sunbreak a lot, mind.
Excellent points!
The lack of a pause feature is definitely the biggest gripe I had with World. Especially with how busy I've been recently, being unable to pause basically stops me from even booting up the game unless I know I have an hour or so where I'll not be interrupted. It doesn't even matter if it's a hunt I can finish quickly (sub 10 mins for me lol), because if I get interrupted before it's done, I can get sidelined for upwards of 30mins and even trying to come back and finish is just a frantic mad dash at best.
Ultimately, the issue is that I generally play solo, so I really see no reason as to why a pause function can't exist in that setting. Like, it's not something that ruins the game by any means, but it's exclusion is sorely felt.
i could forgive that if the quest timer pauses when you sit in you camp solo, I guess we'll see if this game becomes real life friendly.
big agree. the fact that rise's pause is hidden inside a menu isntead of a button was already annoying, let alone not having one.
In fact, I alos play elden ring, and I specifically installed a pause button mod on it. It's a game meant to be fun, it's not an obligation or a job. Let us pause.
Agreed, the only way I can "pause" the game is with the Steam decks sleep mode. Itll kick you outta the online session but as long as your playing solo its fine, it wont boot you out of the hunt.
are hunts even going to be timed this time around?
didn't someone say you can pause?
My only complaint with tenderizing is that the clutch claw wouldn't always hit the part of the monster you wanted tenderized. In the worst cases, you couldn't clutch claw at all.
My biggest real concern is PC performance. Frame Gen on pretty decent cards at 1080p to reach 60fps, where FG is supposed to be used only when you have MORE than 60fps without it, indicates serious issues with performance in Wilds. Likely CPU related, since upscalers were not mentioned at all for recommended settings (while they were for minimum specs).
We are likely to get similar issues like with Dragons Dogma 2.
That's my concern as well. I have a 6900 xt and a 5900x and can't maintain 60 fps in 1440p. I was very disappointed. I haven't launched the game in months.
@@SleepyRPGman I heard that the CPU issues in DD2 have been remedied by quite a bit recently, so it might work for you now.
(CPU issue in a RE Engine, open world game, sounds familiar, doesn't it).
you're gonna buy it and have tons of fun regardless. You graphic snobs make gaming worse.
think it's moreso smoothness of play, 1440p isn't a big ask, and if it's struggling to be smooth at 1440p, then the industry standard 1080p likely isn't smooth either. i remember mh world on release making my pc scream and i had an i7, 16gb of ram, and a 1080ti, the top tier at the time to many people, and i had only a pair of 1080p monitors, and ran the game on just one of them. there is no reason for a modern game on NORMAL not extreme settings to do that, and if a high end rig in the upper 10% of computer builds can't run it right at either 1080p or 1440p, then normal people in the other 90% of the gaming market range can't either...
iirc mhw also destroyed some folks' hardware. i hope that won't happen again.
@@DragonaCryotalon1440p is quite a big jump from 1080p tbf.
Either way, you're right. Current PC requirements Capcom listed for Wilds are not looking well. We are more than likely be getting DD2 situation again.
EDIT: And yes World did not work well at launch either....
With the first one with Shinies: Shinies will not even be in Wilds at all. Any kind of extra drops from breaks (except for having to carve tails) yes this will be automaticly picked up by you. And don't worry about the handler thing she is far better than the one in world. Alma is going to be great.
Your response at 17:06 how world was more frustrating and you or the other guy said it more satisfying to portable 3rd is exactly same thing for I find world frustrating so I'll go right to playing MHGU.
The button layout i can confirm that monster hunter rise for the pc version does include the nintendo pro controller layout. Might be because the game came out for the switch.
nah.... the feelings are mutual, i will never agree with this " WHAT WE WANT " ... there's' no WE.
Capcom is not stupid, whatever WILDS ends up becoming, whether you like it or not.. the game will be what the DEV'S envisioned the game will be.
by the way, can we all stop this WORLD vs RISE gas lights, because it's getting really annoying at this point, all it does is add fuel to the fire.
Well i guess its a bit late but i would love more than 3 saved characters. Most people probably wouldn't care but i like to go through base game when i want to learn a new weapon. I dont think we need 20 saves but 5 or maybe even 10 would be very welcome.
You aint alone, picking up and learning a new weapon at HR5 (alreadly having the mats and just crafting it right away) feels like I didnt earn the knowledge if I dont start from the bottom. Even though the option is there for me to replay all the key quests (heck I could even wear basic chainmail armor and bring my defense down so the hunts are tough), It still kinda feels like im cheating a bit?
Heck try putting into words the pride you get from using a weak starting hammer and working hard to get the mats to get your first upgrade that makes a huge difference in the next hunt ya know?
@kilowhiskyforge4337 yeah I think that last section is a very important part of every weapons journey through the game. Helps you learn a lot. Trying to guide a new friend that's playing a weapon you don't know is hard. Especially when it comes to what monsters offer you useful equipment from early and mid game
I like layered armor where it is. Vanity should be one of the final things you start working towards.
Building those encyclopedias is part of the community experience.
The roar has been a staple from the beginning i dont see it ever leaving. I feel a deep hatred for stun but its been here since the beginning so I wouldn't attack it for its tenure. The could be refined though.
World was an absolute gem of a game, and Wilds looks like a true successor.
Mine is for them to remove the auto (Full) reload when I unsheathe my HBG (even though I still have some bullets left on the clip), it destroys my momentum of having the opportunity to shoot the monster when it's flinched etc.
@@bisdakaraokeatbp This is because you are unsheathing your HBG (or LBG) by pressing the reload button... You have to unsheathe with the shooting button in order to immediately start shooting upon unsheathe rather than reloading. You're welcome.
I dont want to see an empty world. Low levels of endemic life. Little interactions with the wildlife. That's all I worry about.
I dont so many quality of life features.
Auto tracking monsters, restocks at camp, no hot/cold drinks and all of that.
The "Hunting" part of Monster Hunter start to vanish in favor of a boss arena brawler, but this isnt what Monster Hunter used to be.
Preparing ahed of a hunt used to be important, would you take that extra potion or leave it for some crafting material, what skills will you bring, and stuff like that. The camp tent takes almost all the preparation and the decision making proses away. In endgame World and Rice i have my inventory decked out in max potions and crafting material for more, traps and all the materials to make more, my whole inventory cluttered with all the things i do and dont need without any thinking of what i might need, because there are so few things i do need and if i missed them, i can always go back to camp and get them.
And while am at it, i want to complain about the Clutch Claw and everything related to it.
When i speed run in Iceborn there is just so much i need to set up (in addition to maximize buff/time), Softening, Triple smack then launce to force an enrage, managing hit zones as well as hit's damage as to not cancel a topple, stun or para with a clagger, since claggers take priority over everything and will override it, canceling the first CC with the shorter clagger. And then we have the nufed hit zones to compensate for the softening.
To a regular hunter, only the softening mechanic might be noticeable, but when you get into the details of it, there are just so many small things that add little tediums that add up.
25:30 oh god yeah the hammers got shafted in the art department for world, it was a huge turnoff
My biggest pet peev for worlds was rng drops for deco's hopefully in wilds I can craft the deco's I need for my builds like in rise.
What's your opinion on the Wilds UI we saw so far? The ugly wiggly health bar aside (if it really is an accessibility option) it's once again so ridiculously small, the clock was moved to the right side for some... reason, etc.
Its really annoying. I wouldnt mind it wiggling when you heal though.
If it stays small, I'm gonna be annoyed. but if i can toggle it on and off easily, i'd rather play with no UI and quick toggle to check health. i like the cinematic look of no ui.
@@iixxion That was removed since World, sadly. You could always toggle on or off the entire UI in pre-World games. This is gone since World, where instead you just pick which part of the UI you want gone. This is the same in Rise.
There are no shinies in Wilds, When you break a part the goodies poof straight into your bag, no fuss!
One of my biggest concerns is the forge/upgrade menu. It's very annoying popping back and forth trying to find all the bits I need for the weapon I want. Wouldn't it be cool if you could hover a tier 8 weapon and see the whole list of stuff needed for it, maybe even with little pictures of the monsters it comes from!?
There are shinies. The handler picks them up for you so you can keep fighting.
If you lost connection for some odd reason (it happens), you won't get access to any event quest. A thing that somehow wasn't a problem in any previous game neither Rise. Combined with the infinite loading screens in PS4. Please don't do that ever again Capcom
Of course I'm talking about World
One of the few things I hate about MHW that aren't, deep down, just me not being good enough at the game, is that the animations to do things are too annoyingly long. I wish there was a mode where you walk up to a quest handler, press a button and in the next frame, you're seeing the quest menu fully rendered and if you close it, in the next frame it's gone again and you can move around. I do appreciate the immersiveness of the animations in the early stages of the game, where I'm more invested into immersing myself into the world, but by the time I've defeated my 100th once-in-a-century elder dragon, the game has gamified itself to the point where all an animation does is waste my time.
Other than that, something that I could just get good enough to avoid, but that just kind of annoys me to no end is when monsters have dash attacks where they deal damage on parts that aren't even moving all that fast, like the tail that they're just dragging behind them.
In World/Iceborne you can hold down right trigger(if it's not it's one of the triggers or bumpers) to speed up animations like opening your map, the handler opening her book for you, and the zoom in to the quest board. Makes a big difference honestly, but I'm definitely not opposed to having it immediately pop up and down like previous titles.
I love the "press X" conundrum.
Since the major controllers have their X button on a different spot, it takes extra brain power to know what button is X.
But yeah, i a 3rd party Nintendo Switch controller, and its annoying that MH dosnt have a Nintendo layout.
shinys - let the paliko pick them up as well. They gather already. (Adds imersion, or have them there permanet/longer.)
Pause - Should be there.
Loadout/Refills. - with no limit it feels to strong. So most failed quests are you being just too lazy to go back. (Bad psychological.)
Slinger ammo - i see no issue. (I don't like rises wild life. Spiders to pick up e.t.c.)
Scoutflies - add toggles. I don't want to see all the gathering spots any time. E.t.c.
Hot/Cold Drinks. - I like them. It adds to the world.
Gathering. - Add mega tools to get more at once. If you want to do a gathering run.
U.I. rise is just better to use.
Cutscene should be always skipable.
Free aim as standart options. The snap is more anoying me. (Deppends on the mayority.)
Curios crafting was horrible
12:30 the fact a legally blind person can see with scoutlfies but cant see without them, is actually quite damning to scout flies as a concept. Because that means the amount of visual stimulus that a non-blind person receives is enormous. Give the blind players thier own disability option, and keep the scoutflies out
Don't agree with everything, but it's always interesting to see/hear how others feel. A lot of these things I just got used to, but the design behind it does suck and should change. The separate forge/upgrade menus being a big one. My absolute biggest gripes seem to have been fixed in Wilds thankfully: lack of pause button and copy/paste weapons.
I will say, though, it's a little hypocritical when you make the comment at the end that people don't like you criticizing their favorite game, but go on to glaze Rise by essentially saying it's flawless (saying your critique video would be a youtube short of just staring at the screen). Off the top of my head, spiribirds and rampage quests were both god awful mechanics. Streamlining was a consistent criticism I've seen from you and the comments, yet Rise also continues this trend. Monsters automatically showing up on the map at mission start and mining/digging grabbing all resources in one animations as opposed to three being big ones. Just seems weird to criticize this in one game, but not consider it a criticism in another.
I only played base Rise and havent played it in a while (I plan to after finishing my playthrough of Iceborne) so Im definitely not the best to create an exhaustive list, but Im sure there's plenty of other critiques to be made at the same level you have for World.
Not sure I agree with your position totally, but I think I'm on your side here, I hate and avoid spiribirds and rampage quests in Rise(I also only have base rise), I also wish the monster wasn't visible on the map at the start as then you'd need to actually HUNT the monster lol, I do like the one streamlining of the gathering though- saves time.
Personally I feel Rise is heavily streamlined but the ddevs put in just enough good things(I also hate silkbind skill but Id be a hypocrite If I didnt say I use the hammer dash-breaker constantly) to balance out the loss of those little things that make Rise about, well hunting monsters. Hunting being the key word there.
@kilowhiskyforge4337 Rise is a fantastic game and did a lot of things right. I'm personally not a fan of the wirebug moves, but the switch skills were an awesome addition. I don't even mind the streamlining as much. I prefer having to track the monster myself, but I also enjoy the scout flies. One of the biggest things I enjoyed about World was how much it made you feel like you were in an actual functioning world/ecosystem. Something that I think is lost in Rise a bit.
My main point for even commenting in the first place is things just feel a bit hypocritical. There's a lot of negativity on this channel towards World (don't believe I've seen anything celebrating what its done right) to the point that everything is thrown under a microscope. So I feel it's only fair that Rise get treated the same way, but when brought up it is treated as flawless. It just devalues the critiques of World in my opinion. It takes the video from "these are the misteppings of World that I dont want repeated" and pushes it into "let me tell you why this game sucks." Rise is the most recent MH so it should be in the convo too and also picked apart to show Capcom what they shouldn't take over from it.
@@acidikdrake4602 you may have a point there, Im still new to the channel itself so I cant personally confirm the bias youre speaking about. I DO feel like MHWorlds was SO different from any other main title that controversy was bound to happen, though I did see the writing on the wall that the basic Worlds formula was bound to be repeated in future AAA titles. I absolutely agree with you on how Worlds made you feel like just a small part of a larger ecosystem, it was an amazing and groundbreaking MH title that gets shit on so much (Imo) because of the clutch claw, menu UI, etc. Never before in a MH title have I felt intrinsic to the actual story as much as I was in World (MH4U besides). Ultimately, I think you make a very good point, and my prediction is once Wilds is released, we'll see more stringent criticism of Rise as a direct/modern comparison
"Streamlining" is not a complaint in my video. There is nothing hypocritical about me liking one game over another. You can criticize Rise all you want and I won't get mad. I promise! In fact, I asked you and everyone else to do JUST THAT in the comments! So when I get enough shit to bitch about in Rise, I'll make a video! Come over to the discord and write up all your complaints. There is nothing in Rise that annoys me, other than the anomaly grind being waaaaay too long. Would I like to have tracking features in Rise? Yes. Does it annoy me that they aren't there? no. Would I be annoyed if the Rise tracking was the same as World tracking? absolutely. I've made no bones about being partial to Rise. To me, it's a much better game. That's the point of my videos. To share my opinions on things. I'm not here to give some sort of "objective" "journalistic" analysis of each game side by side. I'm not sure what gave you that impression, but it's never been the case in any of my videos. But to be very clear: my preference for Rise is based on playing World/Iceborne for about 2500 hours, and playing Rise/Sunbreak for about the same amount of time. It's not uninformed, or based on the director, or any preconceived ideas I had of either. Nor is it based on the platforms. PS4 sucks, switch kinda sucks. But i have both on PC and they both run phenomenally well there.
@iixxion Honestly? Fair response. I haven't watched all of your videos, but I appreciate the topics you bring up, the questions asked, and the discussion. Even if I don't agree with your takes, the discussion being had is interesting. I had assumed all games would be put under the same lense, or at least Rise given there will be some overlap with Wilds. So that's on me for building that assumption.
You're right that it's not hypocritical to like one game more than the other, but that also isn't what I said. I personally think they're both great games that do some things right and other things wrong. Maybe hypocritical is a bad word choice? It's just weird to me to trash a game so hard, but then act like the one you prefer is flawless. To your point, though, that's on me for expecting different content than what you're providing. So I should just realize I'm not the target audience instead of projecting how I think these talks should go.
Quick note, but I thought streamlining was brought up by you in your vid(s). I must have just conflated user comments to what you yourself were saying which is my bad.
I am curious at this point, though. You have 2500 hours in World/Iceborne, but I haven't heard you say anything positive about it (once again I haven't watched all of your videos so I could have missed this). Legitimate question here, but do you even like the game? If not, then why play for so long? If you do, then what part(s) did you enjoy? No snark or sarcasm as I am legitimately curious at this point.
Dude I just stated world and j was forging new weapons thinking i upgraded them 😂😂 thought i was stupid but it’s common I guess
Noting that wilds is taking more of a path from world, I still think it would still be interesting to see what you dislike in Risebreak that you don't want to see in wilds?
Red monsters feel wrong, mh4u apex were cooler. I don't really have many issues with Rise tbh. Too much light colorful crazyness going on screen maybe. And having companions when there are more than 2 hunters is too much stuff on screen as well.
@@fromhl7619 ah they are good, compare to tempered from world it's not even a question
calling it a "shitshow" preemptively such a doomer mindset this is the monster hunter team were talking about, the only dev team that i actively trust because of how they handle their games. worse thing they ever done to the series are lousy pc ports that got fixed and dogshit DRM that capcom enforce on their games.
i mean werent all the currently untrusted studios trusted at one point? look where that got us garbage left and right. i thinks its more worrying that ppl such as yourself exist, ppl hat have absolute faith they wont turn to doo doo and dont question things like the fact wyverian ears layered armor used to be free now is locked behind a preorder. but chill bro its just some silly ears nothing much, its not like every other notorious bad studio started like that as well, now they selling u dlc before the game even comes out.
ur mindset scares me u gotta be a lil bit more negative, have fun and dont be a long sword main
Hey for all the ones with the shiny problem at the beginning ( myself included ), it is confirmed that there are no shinys anymore. it is somewhat related to the new wounding mechanic as well, but in generall monster part drops will be send directly to your inventory, so no need to pick them up anymore and no loosing out on materials :)

Honestly, I don't really want an MMO style raid boss again in MH. They basically force you to play online bcs doing raid solo takes a lot time and very solo unfriendly, especially like Safiijiva where the energy levels reset if so much so as leave the game. Games like 3U, 4U and RiseBreak are good for people like me who plays solo and in short burst session since there are other responsibilities people have that demands attention like college or work.
@@geebon5850 I solod every monster and put a thousand hours in Iceborne but still never did Safi/behemoth because its seige and you cant fight it normally like Fatalis or Altreon. Makes me sad to this day.
@@kevo300 If they ever bring back Safi I pray that its a normal hunt instead of the annoying raid mechanic, I bet they could make Safi one of the best hunts if they designed him with solo players in mind.
As someone who has played Rise on a midi piano (by use of a software that maps midi inputs to keyboard and mouse inputs) DEAR FUCKING GOD! I agree with that person who says Rise's M+K Inputs ARE TRASH!! Capcom literally FORCES certain groupings of actions together. Not even JUST like they were on a controller, oh no! Some arbitrary BS method that they thought would be a good way to map M+K!! The way they did it made it literally impossible to have silkbinds while I was playing Ranged on the midi piano. Again, no way they could have known, but like ... MAKE AN ACTUAL PC PORT CAPCOM! NOT JUST SOME HALF-BAKED CONTROL SCHEME, BUT A LEGITIMATE CONTROL OPTION!!
Rant aside, more control over our control methods would be appreciated across the board. I have several friends who might stick around, might not, but would be a hell of a lot more likely to if they just let us rebind controls in game so the button mappings showed up on screen properly. And it's not hard to do. It's literally the first thing I code every time I learn a new engine. Controller support and player control is SUPER IMPORTANT for a LOT of people.
If capcom puts pronouns in Wilds, I'm not gonna get angry and rant about it, I'm simply done with the franchise. If they cross that line or put in a trans npc who actually identifies as the opposite sex or a they/them, then I'm also done. I won't be buying it, not even on sale if they cross this line in the sand. You can't put it past them either since they put "they/them" selectable pronouns in the SFVI character creator.
The biggest mistake they're making is the optimisation is shit.
capcom hasn't learned anything re: optimization in like 15 years.
It's hard to optimize for PC because there are so many different combinations of processors and graphics cards. Not to mention the operating system and amount of ram plays a part too. That being said Capcom is terrible at optimizing their games on release.

Gathering tracks should stay, it’s part of the immersion, not sure about the scout flies.
I don’t really care that much about the sorting issues or smithy UI that much, I don’t see it as a big thing.
I dislike some stuff, but to me it doesn't even matter anymore. Capcom never fails me once in each generation of mh, i was thought to adept in each generation 😂. As long as i can get the game to run at 1080/60 or 30 even at potato mode for my PC, I m gud. Been playing for so long I just get used to stuff 😅
Dood the wilds is still 4 months away and you're talking about little nitpicky things alot of the complaints have been fixed already
Rise and Sunbreak was my first Monster Hunter, my main issues with that game were that I couldnt truelly learn a weapon from the start because of switch skills. Gunlance was completely phased out of my mind when I joined because its good mobility tools were locked behind progression. The game and community from the onset dictated that it was a game of parries, with it starting the player off with the longsword, and community sentiment surrounding the weapon ("Longsword is OP because it has the most parries"). In Rise your playstyle is dictated by your switchskills rather than your armor skills. For example: in Rise for Charge blade you have to choose on a scroll whether you want to SAED spam, or pizza cutter, as they share the same switch skill. Contrast this with Iceborne World, where SAED cancels INTO pizza cutter. This made switch skills feel reductive to me whenever I made the swap to try out World and Iceborne. Another example is my main: Lance. Insta block, as good as it is, feels like it removes the point of every other block option that the weapon has.
The focus on parries in Rise, I feel, leads to defensive decorations feeling useless and harmful to the game with how much they take up space in the UI. There are so many useless skills assigned to deco gems that I cant actually find any skills I would want to use. Theres a deco for every individual elemental defense, one for every debuff, and a hard version of each of those. My recommendation would be to have a flat "elemental defense" gem which just boosts every elemental defense stat (or if you wanna make it actually good and usable make it scale on percentage so that Divine Blessing doesnt feel like the only mitigation skill worth taking). Make CC afflictions (paralysis, sleep, mud, and water) consolidated into 1 or 2 gems. Defensive build crafting just in general needs an overhaul, but its issues are abundantly clear and they leak into other parts of Rise and World by adding clutter. Why are Geologist and Botanist 2 seperate decos? You're never gonna use one and NOT the other. That may be a nitpick on my end because Geo and Bot is less of an issue and they do actually do 2 different things, but elem defense and CC afflictions all do the same thing, they're just flavor swaps, either consolidate it, or buff elem defense to high hell to make it actually worth investing in.
Alexa, define "Echo chamber"
No but fr tho, idk if I've just come from worse games but like... Are these REALLY the things you guys have a problem with..? Like have any of you played COD, Destiny, CS, Apex, etc? These games have had or do have LEGITIMATE problems. Content/updates being abysmal, balancing being horrible, terrible dev to player interaction. Yall are really sitting here whinging about the slightest problem in the menu? Most of this video and the previous video comes off as some entitled whining about basically nothing. I don't know about yall but if ALL these problems are SO bad, why is World still the most played MoHun game? I mean you guys bring up SO many points I feel like if they were really a problem players would be leaving for Rise in DROVES.
echo chamber: an environment in which a person encounters only beliefs or opinions that coincide with their own, so that their existing views are reinforced and alternative ideas are not considered.
just because something is popular doesn't make it beyond critique, and saying that people shouldn't mention what they consider to be issues is only reinforcing a toxically positive echo chamber.
apex, destiny, cs, cod, WoW, r6 and so many other games are excellent examples of why a fandom should be alert to changes over the years, most of those went from critical and mass appeal darlings to being dunked on for lazy cash grabbing, bad map design, feature creep, transaction bs, and live service bullcrud.
they are what mh is at risk of becoming, because the same sentiment of 'whataboutism' and 'well x isn't as bad as y, z, and a' that you are expressing is why they got to where they are now.
it's been a long time since 2009 for me, and i really don't want to see yet another franchise that is loved by many go their way.
@DragonaCryotalon very well said! kinda weird that someone who plays terrible games doesn't want us to improve ours. not sure what he wants us to do: advocate for fixing CoD? I've never even played that game. I have no interest in doing his homework for him! Maybe he just wants us to suffer as bad as he does when our franchise quality degrades to the level of his? idk.
But he has shed light on one thing, which he ironically almost realizes toward the end of his comment: he asks why aren't people leaving world in droves? It's because the world playerbase is dominated by people who came over to MH from all the terrible franchises that he listed, so they think world is actually amazing and has no flaws! They are used to terrible games, so they don't realize that MH World's interface and QoL issues are actually quite bad for a MH title, and from the standpoint of good design, rather than simply comparing it to terrible games.
I completely understand where you come from. I was playing the same games when I got sucked into world. The first playthrough of a MH game for anyone always has a special pull, and for a long time I ignored most of the complaints with it. I can absolutely see them now because (I am assuming here) from the perspective of the more established Monster Hunter fans, some of the design decisions absolutely rocked the community. I never saw that because i came from Slop. To me it was my new base line so when I heard the old guard complain, I dismissed it. (here is where i get opinionated) Slop games will always have Slop problems. Monster Hunters problems aren't Slop problems, However, they still matter. World still doesn't bother me at all, but i can absolutely acknowledge some of its short comings (especially UI).
@@iixxion Speaking of having someone else do homework for you, interesting that you waited for someone ELSE to disagree with me before commenting. Congratulations, you’ve added nothing to this conversation.
@@DragonaCryotalon I understand where you’re coming from, but when games like those go to shit it’s not because the devs just got lazy or started hating their players. Overmonitization, the live service model, quick and lazy game design, etc. all of those things are more often than not the result of executives wanting to make more money while cutting corners. MHWI is like eight years old, and they’re actively taking their time with Wilds. I guarantee you these problems are either fixed or not seen as problems, instead being seen as artistic design. I can understand being mildly frustrated with some of these, but not only do I think it’s extremely nitpicky, but I also think the framing of this video is built on negative criticism. It’d be super nice if more of his critiques were actually constructive, but unfortunately for the most part, his criticism boils down to, “I don’t like it, it’s trash, bad game.”
Wilds is world 2.
That could be said for any title. For example, you could say that wilds is also rise 2, with followers, switch skills, reptile palamute equivalent, and more.
Another example, you could wilds isTri 2 with monsters eating other monsters, swimming, a small wild race you can talk to, in depth environmental design, heavier emphasis of free hunting, and more.
each monster hunter title builds upon several prior entries, not just world. Just saying its a sequel of a single title is missing the bigger picture of how devs implements features from several different entries.
@@Cayden.1 like world, this game is rise's aesthetic inverse. so no, its not rise 2, even though it includes certain improvements first used in rise.
if the portable team's next game has ninjas and palamutes that would be rise 2.

From IIXXION's channel regarding that
@@VocalSynthUtau aesethtic is not the only metric to judge a game being a sequel or not, you cant just ignore all the other aspects listed and only use anesthetic as criteria for a game being a sequel.
Wilds has a different aesthetic from world anyway, being a much more heavy story game with a more dramatic narrative. If anything Wilds has an aesthetic similar more to 4U with a mysterious monster causing trouble and the guild sending us to investigate
@@Cayden.1 aesthetics is everything. try looking up "what is aesthetics" on google or youtube or something. its not just how the game looks. it is the ideal that the game is trying to reach. rise aims to be the most fun monster hunter ever. world and wilds aim to be the most "cinematic" monster hunter ever. thats how capcom themselves describe it.
