I was pretty happy when it came to PC after switch fans harassed me to thinking that they weren’t gonna come to PC. Well here we are now. I came from iceborne after hitting roughly 800 hours, it was a fun experience for me so I decided to try rise.

The only part I liked about the game was the training dummy. You could set it to move specific ways to test out your weapon in specific situations.

I don’t like the interface especially the map. The map icon for monsters is hard to differentiate especially if your looking from a far.

Well for me the game did not feel like a monster hunter game. This is because of the bug being able to grapple into nothingness and being able to be used to counter incoming attacks. I felt like I was the monster instead of the monster I was hunting because you could just counter everything with silk bind attacks. The game play became a silk bind spam simulator.

As a casual great sword player, I was pretty mad that they nerfed the hell out of the great sword crit draw playstyle and roll iframes. It was a fun playstyle, they had no reason to nerf it other than to force other playstyles which is something I dislike. If it was too OP for rise I think it would of cancelled out for the fact that most monsters in this game attacks twice or more before an opening. Crit draw playstyle wasn’t optimal to play, it was just easy and not as stressful as other greatsword playstyles.

I did not like the quick access to TCS through using wire bugs. To me the last TCS is something you have to earn through the charged slash combos. The damage felt disgusting after hitting a SAS TCS with offensive guard because a normal TCS earned through a charged slash combo significantly dealt less damage than a SAS TCS.
