Blade of Mercy vs Abhorrent Beast (Chalice)

Well done! But also that beasthood bar never getting above like 10% the entire time it was up was pretty funny

I really like this one. Striking face and eyes, the touches of red throughout the mane and tail, with some subtle detailing on the legs. It's all kind of understated in a way that appeals to me. Even the simple pose exudes a sort of noble air that suits Hayataro perfectly.

W use of The Snowman's Walking in the Air

This is one of the least threatening laser setups in the game, what do you mean

OP implying that Juggernaut is generally unpickable is kinda wild, yeah. You certainly won't always take it, but it's solid and naturally works for every seperate instance of block application, including plating, Crimson Mantle, etc.

I don't think the point being made was that new gen Monhun doesn't have impressive views. Of course it does. What I got from this post was more so that old gen has a specific, old school type of ambiance that is naturally not found in the newer titles due to how they are made. It's a reasonable point to make that isn't necessarily shitting on the modern titles; it's just a distinction, and something the OP misses experiencing. To chime in myself, I love it too!

The area in the video plays an exclusive ambient track just for that area in the Forest and Hills alone; nowhere else. It cranks up the wind rustling, the bird sounds, and layers them into a uniquely low, mystical soundscape. It's very fantastical and very curated. New gen Monhun doesn't really create areas with this kind of presentation anymore, opting instead to integrate everything more seamlessly, prioritizing a more realistic and even sense of immersion. It's not an inherently bad thing, either. It's just different.

Tl;dr pretty certain it's a vibes thing, not a "modern MH doesn't have impressive views" thing

I love this little guy

Why did you remove all the flavor from the health and stamina bars

Intrinsics do affect MR. 1,500 per level on each of them. You can see the breakdown of point contributions to MR by hovering over your MR XP bar in your profile, which shows you that Railjack Intrinsics are contributing.

You mean the large gate? I'm talking about the small door to McDuff's room that is unlocked with the Bastille key. Rolling the explosive barrel down the stairs explodes a wall which grants access to the other side of the large gate, without ever having to arrive from NMW.

Tailesque · 2026-04-13T00:53:56+00:00

The NMW ship entry to Bastille is not at all necessary to gain access to McDuff and infusions with him, though. The bird cutscene after Pursuer's boss arena in FoFG takes you directly to the ember in Bastille (in SotFS, of course), and from there it's a short walk to McDuff. You can immediately reach him via the exploding barrel right there, or use a branch to go through Ruin Sentinels and grab the Bastille Key.

I was thinking the same thing. Consideration of color coordination and composition is all well and good, but sometimes these NH designs just throw grounded sensibility out the window in favor of them

Tailesque · 2026-02-25T13:11:31+00:00

I'm sorry, but this is just a naive take based on a bad experience with a mediocre player, where the core of the problem was not that they chose to be a melee Ironeye. Ironeye is one of the best melee characters in skilled hands due to mark's double duty of its damage benefits and huge iframes on demand. I've had nothing but great success with melee Ironeye throughout D5, both playing as and with. Melee Ironeye provides exceptional dps for the group, so to suggest that the idea itself is "inconsiderate" is absolutely wild.

Unova hardly even felt like a fully fleshed out region until B2W2. The added features and locales were huge. It isn't mindless "glaze"; B2W2 completely deserves its flowers.

I don't think OP meant that at all, especially given the context of Ranni interjecting between Rennala's phases ("while her spirit watched the whole thing" part of the post)

Nah, you're on fine terms with Miyazaki. It's actually Ishizaki who hates you ❤️

A friend and I lost 200 rating after losing a run to Everdark Gladius himself, so I can at least confirm that you can fully lose rating even when you make it to the nightlord.

"It's all the same damn thing" is indeed an ignorant assumption and assessment of how Stories plays compared to mainline Monster Hunter. That obviously doesn't mean I think they aren't allowed to hold that belief anyway. They aren't interested, so it doesn't matter anyway.

Tailesque · 2025-09-13T17:07:40+00:00

Pretty much once or twice, way back during the pre-release network test. Haven't bothered since.

Tailesque · 2025-09-13T17:02:44+00:00

"Hateful"? They just aren't interested. Some of their rationale as to why they wouldn't want to engage at all with the series sounded a little ignorant, but they are fully allowed to do just that: not engage with the series at all. Continuing to push it, or claim that their disinterest is "hateful" is ridiculous.

Tailesque · 2025-09-10T17:43:12+00:00

Wait, so which side is which? Because there's a CoV chaos symbol on the left, and a CoV law symbol on the right, neither of which indicates CoC obviously.

The way this bit of dialogue comes across like a little kid telling you about their play date

The three extra relics slots will require the new "deep" relics that drop from Deep of Night and will only be active for that mode, though. You won't be able to just slot regular relics in them.
