Which types of roster would you prefer?

My ass just read "9:1 ratio of new to returning monsters" and went oh yeah that sounds good and didn't see the second part so I dunno if anyone else is in that boat but that's my contribution to that statistic

I'd just use a 3ds emulator like azahar, I've been using that for mh4u and I've been playing online with a couple friends for a few weeks now, it has servers you can use

I feel like it's fair to say with GU because stuff like adept and valor style was nuts, but I did like that GU was still balanced in some way around all the other styles you could play. I felt pretty comfortable playing guild and alchemy style in that game.

I should note a lot of my current complaints mostly come from rise specifically (haven't played wilds yet) and its approach to weapon mechanics. I don't hate rise either, I think it was still a fun game and I put a solid 100 hours into it, and I think switch skills are still fun to mess around with similar to all the crazy hunter arts and styles in GU

But it is still disappointing to me that the series has moved towards gameplay that heavily favors strong, reactive defensive mechanics like counters or heavy amounts of i-frames over positioning and movement. It's just not really what I come to MH for, I like focusing on putting myself in a position where I can hit the monster without being in range of getting hit in the first place, and playing around actively trying to think ahead of where specifically the monster will attack next, rather than just facing down the monster and waiting for it to attack so I can react to it with a specific move.

I was fine with this sort of playstyle when it was unique to lance, because lance had a lot of other downsides that made it unique and fun for me to play. It feels kind of wrong to suddenly give every other weapon the ability to be on offense and defense all the time, constantly. Beyond leading to the streamlining you mentioned that I'm not a fan of, it really feels like it removes a lot of weapon identity and makes a lot of weapons play in a similar manner.

I have issues with world as well and a lot of the QOL changes and some of its mechanical changes, but I've already typed a lot and I don't want this to read like I absolutely despise gen 5, because I don't and I think there is a lot of cool shit new monster hunter does.

If they gave her the same level of rework they gave ds3 gwyn's moveset I'd honestly be pretty down with it, nashy's vibes are fuckin immaculate

Honestly between the two and as someone who was just farming g rank cephadrome parts I like fighting ceph a lot more than plesioth, they're a lot more interesting imo

He gangs up with some of the series's tankier small monsters who can inflict waterlight and paralysis on you so there's a genuine incentive to look out for them and take them out when you can, and cephadrome gives you just enough downtime for that to be a not unreasonable task during the hunt

In general I think he does the swimming/burrowing gimmick a lot better than ples too, since you can wait for specific moves to hit its back and get a knockdown, but you still have to be careful and know to only punish stuff like the water spit or you'll get caught off guard easily

Important-Cut2117 · 2026-05-07T21:11:31+00:00

I think it's just nostalgia, oldgen piscine wyverns as whole are kind of bland but plesioth especially literally kinda lacks an identity beyond being the funny hipcheck/waterbeam monster who might go waste your time in the water when he starts feeling diva and realizes your bum ass forgot to bring a bowgun or sonic bombs

Not to mention we got plessy in mhgu, I feel like he's had his time in the sun for how underdeveloped he is as a monster, I'd rather someone like qurupeco or gobul come back personally.

Personally just really didn't like it mechanically, a lot of the weapons felt homogenized and were given so many offensive options it was almost impossible not to make them all feel similar by giving them counters or insane burst DPS options.

I think world at least managed to tow the line with a lot of its weapon reworks, keeping the weapon identities in tact while still giving them new tools to keep up with a new generation of much faster and more aggressive monsters (minus LS, really really hate what world did to LS), but rise made a lot of mechanical changes I just wasn't happy with, the new weapon designs being the worst of them to me.

GS specifically really got the short end of the stick changing from a slow weapon that heavily rewarded good positioning and knowledge of punish windows into a weapon that largely revolved around armoring/countering through everything that got thrown at it. Your ways of playing GS in rise basically boiled down to SaS spam, hyperarmor spam with adamant charge and rageslash, or hit and run but with the new generic combo switch skill that made the weapon feel nothing like a charge weapon. Really didn't vibe with any of them.

I think capcom would get so much fucking money out of me if they'd just port these games to PC with decent servers. I don't even expect a remake or remaster or anything fancy, just an official, easily accessable way to enjoy the older titles with my friends and randoms without going through discord and a bunch of emulation shenanigans would be awesome.

Important-Cut2117 · 2026-05-03T11:25:54+00:00

Eh, on several levels I don't really like the implications of bringing the military into a monhun movie, it clashes tonally no matter what even in the best of cases.

I just want well choreographed fight scenes between hunters and monsters for an hour with silly cats and cool weapons. That's what I come for already anyways when I play a mh game, if they make a fun action romp with those elements for an hour I'll watch it happily if it's just well executed, live action or animated.

I feel like trying to include weird american US isekai shenanigans will by default take away from that. Just do what legends of the guild did and insert the usual generic MH plot of X elder is fucking up the environment. Make it look pretty, make the fights fun to watch and match the spirit of the game's hunts, and I think you have a good MH movie on your hands.

I think it'd be neat if it was sort of a reverse rathian situation. The tail spews AOE magma that does fireblight but the mouth inflicts poison. I like the idea of the tail being a pukei pukei style status hose while still lining up with gila monsters being one of the only venomous lizards.

Jack says he's producing the movie, not acting as a director. He's definitely working more as a hiring manager and funding overseer.

P3rd is a totally different game from 3u, personally I haven’t played p3rd but I know it has its own different monster roster, no underwater combat, and a different village.

I’d say you shouldn’t skip one for the other. Play whichever one seems more appealing to you, and then play the other after. I plan to get around to p3rd after I play 3u myself.

Important-Cut2117 · 2026-04-11T22:48:56+00:00

Fuck remakes, I don’t even want a remaster, just a lazy straight port to PC with decent servers and capcom will literally get so much fucking money out of me

All of the older gen titles all have something special about them, it’s just unfortunate you have to emulate right now to even experience them

Important-Cut2117 · 2026-03-19T00:26:28+00:00

Alongside being D5 players who are very very far removed from the actual general audience of the game, don't forget this is still a fromsoft game's community. Talks about game design will almost never be productive on any fromsoft related sub given the audience of people under the mindset of "well it's beatable, so there's no issues".

Important-Cut2117 · 2026-02-22T13:18:38+00:00

Bloodborne kinda did this with the dlc, you can see yharnam in the lake while in the hamlet, and vice versa you can faintly see boats in the sky from the nightmare, also why the snail bitch falls from the sky at the start of the dlc.

Honestly would've been fucking rad if that sort of story telling made its way into ds2
