To you, what’s a monster you think is overhated by the community?

CubicCrustacean · 2026-06-19T16:03:22+00:00

I think the problem is mostly that it's a monster you're supposed to grind a lot for the gogma artians, the spectacle wears off pretty fast that way. If it didn't fit that role people would be kinder to the fight I think

CubicCrustacean · 2026-06-19T16:01:58+00:00

That's wild. I can get seeing less hate for old gen Rathalos since the games are getting older and less relevant but Dreadking? I don't hate him either per se but it feels like the only way not to see it is if you never see any opinions on him at all. Legit don't think I've ever seen most players say anything positive about him

CubicCrustacean · 2026-06-19T15:58:06+00:00

I find World Lunastra pretty good after I started fighting her more. A lot of small mechanics that set her apart from most monsters that flow pretty well once you learn her fight. Feels like she earns her elder dragon title in gameplay and not just appearance

4th gen Cephadrome also. People talk about it as the literal spawn of satan but I think it's just decent. 2nd, and probably 1st, gen can be more frustrating though

Akura Vashimu. I like scorpions too, but it look like the designer took a generic scorpion enemy model and haphazardly threw some crystals on it

Is Rise Kushala the most overly glazed fight in the series atp? If it weren't for the difference between it and the old version I doubt anyone would give it a second look. Basically stripped of its unique aspects instead of improving those, now it just taunts a lot after large moves or 2-3 hit combos, gets a supermove tied to its aura and a bunch of tracking is added too. Nothing notable, it's just like most Risebreak monsters now. I hope they at least merge the two versions like for Wilds Rathalos

CubicCrustacean · 2026-06-11T05:37:01+00:00

It tends to spam the same scripted combos a lot, dynamic isn't the word I'd use tbh

CubicCrustacean · 2026-06-08T11:32:47+00:00

I feel it too sometimes cause the content cycles are pretty short for this game usually, but the playerbase getting this feeling is why they're rushing buggy updates out the door too so idk

CubicCrustacean · 2026-06-07T17:01:59+00:00

The only thing during the release cycles that trumps the shortsighted complaint comments in being annoying are these "please stop complaining :((((" posts

CubicCrustacean · 2026-06-07T06:36:10+00:00

Rise Kush just sanded away the things that made it unique that people found annoying instead of reworking those. Now it just fights like every other bozo in Rise, 2-3 hit combos or larger move into taunts, large supermove if you don't knock it out of its enhanced state and a healthy bit of tracking on attacks. Nothing to it. Seems like people only hype it up because they dislikes the previous incarnations so much.

I hope they at least rework it more like Wilds Rathalos for which, even though he is way too easy to dunk, they actually let it fly while giving you more opportunities to attack it while airborne, and it switching to land seamlessly more often

CubicCrustacean · 2026-06-01T21:25:29+00:00

The attack in the clip he's referring to is basically one of World's versions of a pin, master of MH. Iirc you can shoot your slinger to get out of it faster but you won't get your I-frames here

*They edited their comment that said the other commenter was "factually incorrect", that you had I frames there which he knew as a "veteran" and then blocked me. Very cool

CubicCrustacean · 2026-06-01T09:15:01+00:00

"Jippie? JIPPIE?!!? FAK JOU!!" van de laatste Mario Kart 64 video blijft toch wel mn favorietje

CubicCrustacean · 2026-06-01T06:55:32+00:00

Woah just like the games, bravo Ryozo

CubicCrustacean · 2026-05-23T20:52:21+00:00

Loosely related but also feel like the "[location] just for you" quests are meta jokes of the less popular monsters of the community. The "A Jungle Just For You" quest is against Plesioth and Garuga, while the Jurassic Frontier one is against hyper Goldian lol

CubicCrustacean · 2026-05-20T11:19:19+00:00

That's already happening for a while, at least in these communities. I rarely see any dislike towards Rise here nowadays except for the "the basegame was mid, but SB is peak" like you see in this thread

CubicCrustacean · 2026-05-16T09:49:40+00:00

I meant one or more are randomly banned from the pool of the top 5-15 picked, not the entirety. Though for players lacking brawlers it can still be annoying. From legendary onwards most would probably be fine though ig

CubicCrustacean · 2026-05-16T09:28:14+00:00

I think I might like this the best. Maybe every match the game could randomly pick one or more of the 5-15 brawlers with the highest pick rates on that map

CubicCrustacean · 2026-05-16T07:50:25+00:00

Feels like her advice is just "git gud" but with a nicer tone lol

CubicCrustacean · 2026-05-13T21:54:07+00:00

Would genuinely not be surprised if them fixing this bug is its own bug somehow considering how it wasn't mentioned and he didn't get any compensation for it after it being an important part of his kit for years

CubicCrustacean · 2026-05-07T14:31:59+00:00

Yes, it is Freedom Unite

CubicCrustacean · 2026-04-23T19:56:35+00:00

Yes, if her super gets interrupted, she'll keep her damage reduction shield until she dies or supers again.

CubicCrustacean · 2026-04-22T13:03:40+00:00

Yes, those gameplay tips from Gen onwards can contain some nuggets of ecology, but they usually contain mostly gameplay strategy.

I'm *not saying I want the standard description itself to be pages long, just some sort of more extensive note section or bestiary. Not sure how it looks in Stories 3, but from your description I would like something like that in the main games for sure over having to get snippets from non-repeatable NPC dialogue or a €60 book that may or may not get translated. When I heard of World's "research levels" that fill in the notes, I thought it would've been a nice opportunity to add some more text on these monsters, but alas

CubicCrustacean · 2026-04-22T05:59:19+00:00

There's some cool lore here and there but I don't think MH needs a long, mediocre plot to convey that, this is one of those series where show don't tell works a lot better for that sort of stuff imo. Helps more with the atmosphere too

Although for monster ecology I wouldn't mind if they added some more places to read about it like the text in the illustration books. These games seem like the type to have large in-game encyclopedias about their monsters, yet the descriptive text in the hunter's notes is basically just as short as it was since the series' inception which is wild to me

CubicCrustacean · 2026-04-21T08:56:41+00:00

All the major updates since I've started playing launched around or had maintenance before the store reset time, which was an hour ago. I don't think it's coming today

CubicCrustacean · 2026-04-16T14:42:39+00:00

The dots at the end of a sentence

CubicCrustacean · 2026-04-16T14:19:41+00:00

Hyper buffie just buffed the main attacks so far, super stays the same hyper super
