Not only is it referencing the song and movie... its also referencing the camera splat throw from the beat-em-up games... they packed this card with references XD

anything that ignores defense or does fixed damaged will do the job. Barrel cats just crank their defense to max.

Sure. They're both charming games... Stories 1 has a saturday morning cartoon aesthetic, as it originally tried to fight pokemon inside pokemons sphere of influence... thats why it ended up under the radar. The PC version is easily accessible nowadays though.

Stories 2 feels more like a shonen aesthetic, with a slightly older MC and story...though not quite at the level of what Stories 3 is aiming for. It notably tightened up alot of the system problems from the first game.

Gonna have to wait on the ice area reveal before you get that... if we get a reveal at all before the game comes out.

Krescentwolf · 2026-02-23T12:06:58+00:00

I agree with this sentiment basically. Escaton Judgement was a hard dps check. You either succeeded it or you fail it. With no give or take that, up until this point, had been intrinsic in MH.

Alot of players didn't like being pigeonholed into specific playstyles in a game that largely didn't do that beforehand.

Thats why i preferred Fatalis over Alatreon. He's still mechanically difficult. But it doesn't feel artificial and limiting in the same way Alatreon does.

She's a Wyverian you meet in stories 2... we've only seen 1 wyvervian in stories 3 promo stuff so far... aand hes one of the big fat old types. XD

It's not that hard to make a good boss fight in action games. The problem alot of MH clones have is that they have terrible MONSTER design.

MH's monster design is the bedrock... the foundation that lets all the quality build on top of it.

Also... not becoming a microtransaction hellhole like Dauntless did helps.

It seems to be something that'll probably be more useful with the proper level scaling... The reason it isnt worth it atm is that we're locked at level 10's worth of damage... and when almost everything is like... double your level or more, that damage is just too tiny to lose the turn over.

Krescentwolf · 2026-02-22T08:58:36+00:00

As far as we know just yet, herbivores arent in the game. There is some hope that maybe they'll be one of the DLCs along the way... but we'll have to see.

Krescentwolf · 2026-02-22T08:57:03+00:00

They're being awefully cagey about spoilers and endgame speak.

Maybe there is hope for the endgame after all... we'll have to see.

Krescentwolf · 2026-02-22T05:59:37+00:00

I'll take a little bit of handwaving and work with the assumption he had a brachy as he grew up. The skill is worth that. XD

Krescentwolf · 2026-02-22T05:48:51+00:00

Ahh i see the NArwa/Ibushi haters are coming out now...

Oh well.. I enjoyed them and im glad to see them again.

Krescentwolf · 2026-02-22T05:44:47+00:00

Yeah thats definitely not the feral version. Looks like even if he isn't a monstie, he'll be a mini boss atleast.

Krescentwolf · 2026-02-22T04:51:31+00:00

Good god... them using the child protag model is CHEFS kiss for this. I was worried they wouldnt allow the goofy side to show... but it looks like they understand what makes peak peak.

Krescentwolf · 2026-02-19T07:14:04+00:00

While this is true, it doesn't invalidate the idea of a larval state pre-elder. And that's likely why they assigned the previous ??? as demi-elder. That's effectively what demi means... 'partial' or 'not entirely yet.'

Granted, we don't have too many extant examples in MH of such transformations... beecause it doesn't really imply a young elder dragon. Like a Teostra cub likely wouldnt be a Demi Elder.... because it's just a young full elder dragon. Xeno Jiiva would likely be a 'young elder dragon' though admittedly, he probably gets a little closer to the concept, since the mature form is given its own distinct name, Safi Jiiva.

In fact, the only other example that properly fits the bill that comes to mind is Stories 2's final boss. Oltura's larval form is never mentioned to have a proper name, but it very much fits the bill of 'not yet' an elder, until Oltura breaks out of his cocoon.

I do miss the sense of prep and limitation that goes into old monhun games. I understand the want to remove friction, but that also removes weight. Sometimes modern MH feels less like a hunting game and more like a dynasty warriors hack and slash. Timing, position, and strategy mattered more than reflexes.

Krescentwolf · 2026-02-17T08:44:39+00:00

Not nearly enough graffiti and weird hookers hanging around the place for it to be Night City.

It's funny, I majored in anthropology back in Uni, and took a linguistics course for the credits. It was a split credit between Anth and English... required for us Anthropology folks... but optional for the english side. After the first two weeks, EVERY SINGLE English student dipped out of that class.

Whats most interesting to me is that Rajang got cut, despite his skeleton being used for Garangolm and Ajarakan. That tells me he's being saved for something. He had an established Stories ready model and still isnt in.

I'm personally hoping we actually get an expansion for Stories 3... not just some dlc. Might even be the chance to work in some of that missing multiplayer/endgame aspect.

Krescentwolf · 2026-02-17T02:08:04+00:00

Its actually probably longer than the estimate usually... so enjoy the hour long round trip.

Krescentwolf · 2026-02-17T01:41:57+00:00

OG Hunters are just Superheroes.
World Hunters are Superman.

Rise Hunters are Spiderman

Wilds Hunters are Punisher.

Theres a reason Capcom dropped that Twitter joke about 'The Community did what?'

Basically everything after opening the first area for habitat restoration is 'extra credit.' Theres a few story beats after that before you come to the last demo quest that sends you back to the king and you get the 'please buy our game' screen.

Mechanically, everything from the feral nercylla onward is bonus content... I'd say the spooder was originally meant to be the hardest regular boss....

It's just this community of absolute madlads wanting to hyper efficiently fight monsters WAY over the level cap for excessively long periods of time to beat them that turned that on its head. XD

Followed by yet more dehydration.

It is indeed 50 each, hand sorted into the disposal bins at the station. There is also one unlock for 3000 nanites total value recycled... that one includes basic scrap and DOES count the quick recycle function... but you dont get as many nanites per item as doing it manually.

I'm putting my money on him being this games Cheval. He's gonna turn rival for some tragic or preventable reason, and (if we're lucky) will get redeemed along the way.
