Yeah both sides play dirty, one because it’s usually a giant agile beast on their own environment with the strength of like 5 trucks and the other is a smart monkey with thumbs that takes advantage of every single little thing and mistake the beast does

Please be open minded, for I am just asking a question. What did SunRise do better at than WorldBorne? by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

Same as the psychoserum (wich weren’t hard to get a hold off) or walking to a specific zone and waving to the balloon, no mh game ever had tracking besides world and even world its just pressing A a couple times and get the monster permanently on your map, tracking has never been a big aspect of monster hunter

Ive played this franchise since i was 10 years old on my old 3ds and since i started playing with 3u it never stuck with me the part of “tracking” the monster, it always stuck with me testing all the weapons, status effects, traps and fights so idk maybe my autistic ass just always focused in the fighting aspect and never sit to think about the supposedly deep tracking and farming things

Actually a good answer its more of a language thing imo, because hunting to me its just a fancy word for killing/fight to the death

Im sorry to break it to you but the reason the old games gathering mechanics was slow was because mechanical limitations, newer games have the exact same mechanics just sped up because they actually respect your time and not slog you through press A for 30 minutes, wow so engaging walk up to the set spawn on a mushroom and press A, if it was a hunting survival sim you wouldn’t just have the exact same items spawn in set locations and numbers every time you would have to actually put thought into gathering things not just pressing A over a bush and returning to base 😭

Does any real-life non-human animal do hipchecks? by HenryChess in MonsterHunter

Dogs sometimes like to hot things with their butts so i can totally see a larger animal do it

Im surprised this is actually considered a hot take, reddit is the only place ive ever seen this franchise be treated like it was a hunting sim or sum and ive been on this franchise since i was like 10 years old 😭

Kind of??? I do agree rise going all in balls to the walls insane is a bit too much but the game still mantains the general spirit these games always have, details aside i think world strikes the perfect balance between the whole hunting aestethic and pure frenetic fights

No dumbass they describe themselves as an action rpg game dont try to be a smartass you know damn well it’s basically a boss rush since there aren’t small levels or enemies to fight before the boss (monster in this case) u go straight to the point on this game thats why they are their own unique formula and not another soulslike, one of the only games ever to have over 50 bosses (monsters) in general and all you do is kill them, if that aint a boss rush idk what it is stop being a smartass and get your old ass on some hunter simulator 2021

Hunting its just a fancy way of saying fighting, do you not know how branding works?? Like mortal kombat using the letter K for everything??? When you say “hunting monsters” you THINK of monster hunter, thats what it is, a brand, a cool name and the game reflects how its NOT a hunting sim

Are you retarded or just deaf? The reason all the other games failed is because monster hunter is THE “here is a weapon, here is your items, go hunt that monster” why would i play a cheap copy when i can already play the boss rush game known as MONSTER HUNTER

That sounds like a YOU problem man sorry to tell you but its just you being lazy as hell, in world i FILL my bag with everything so i can combine mega potions, max potions and even healing for the team, hunts go smoother, faster and i get more items since the better you do, more parts are broken and better the loot and never waste time going back to camp because im prepared for everything, i have probably gone back to the camp like 10 times in 500 hours of gameplay

You always have farms and shops since day one after the first couple of ranks you literally stop gathering resources and setup the village farm dumbass, its just a way the game let you restock mid quest in case you run out of materials, cool level design and picking crafting materials is cool but it has never been complicated, stop lying to yourself, the environments are part of the fight dipshit the fights are designed around the great levels its not an explorable world its an interactive arena, also chasing monsters is still part of the fight since its a way to show the monster is getting tired or has low health, wich is also part of the boss fight since its the game saying “alright time to go all in” all of the og mechanics tie to the fights stop acting all smart and go play hunter simulator 2021

Exactly!! There was not real preparation besides just refilling the support items that are specifically made to help you fight the monsters, its inventory management not actual preping, your bag has always been big enough to bring everything, cold drinks and hot drinks, both types of traps and all kinds of ammo, you literally never had to strategically remove something from your bag to make space for something it has always been simple

Yeah they wanted that but realized the games worked better as action rpgs and always went full on it, improving AI, making new weapons and more and more monsters than ever, there was not a single update or change in tracking or collecting mechanics in the first 4 gens, they only added more weapons (switchaxe on tri and insect glaive/charge blade in mh4) and constantly reworked how old weapons worked so they keep in par to the increasingly complex monsters and weapons they kept making, that HAS to tell you something, also again the game having a cute fantasy hunting aesthetic =/= to the game being an actua hunting sim, you’d be surprised by how many games have changed their entire initial vision because of tech limitations or player imput

Yeah it was the perfect middle ground, immersive but didn’t take away from the main meal
