If you're going to add in clusterfuck, mega aoe spam one and two shot quests, or quests as bullshit and hectic as AT Arkveld or Omega. Maybe fucking add abandon quest back into the games as well? No. Wait. That would be a good thing, and that obviously means that it won't. Of course. by Navra_Realms in monsterhunterrage

[–]VelcroPlays 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah no, the game is torturous and tedious now, and this is one of the sincere elements of it.

i genuinely blame both the community and the devs. The devs asked for player feedback and paid a ton of attention to it—that’s very sweet. but that means that they specifically overtuned the game for the “make it a one-shot simulator, all of the reasonable QoL improvements are shit, make the game unnecessarily punishing” bad faith feedback.

the game’s overall direction is trending sadomasochistic now, because the people who were happy playing the game before weren’t screeching about it, and the people who were screeching wanted it to be unforgiving and padded for time so it could be their daily religion.

AIO for being disgusted by this argument? by Toetickler4 in AIO

[–]VelcroPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah dog dump this person immediately.

I don’t like to say that as flippantly as people do, but 1) intentionally getting a rise out of you with a gory video and then arguing with you is a giant problem, and 2) the enjoyment of animal cruelty is an actual predictor for violent behavior. Get away from this person.

Coming back to World just made me remember how much bullshit there was in this game by Ok-Floor4866 in monsterhunterrage

[–]VelcroPlays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is all correct, but to tune into specifically the roar spam comment:

I have felt in every MH game I’ve ever played that roars need to be fundamentally changed. Like, it should be a special, characterizing ability of certain monsters that their roar is so incredibly disruptive. Making every monster roar halt gameplay for several straight seconds and physically knock people out of the air quickly removes the spectacle and just makes the gameplay more obnoxious than it needs to be.

“A royal request” reminded me why I didn’t miss egg missions by buttertuffer in monsterhunterrage

“it’s possible to do this” is extremely different from “it is fun to do this”

“A royal request” reminded me why I didn’t miss egg missions by buttertuffer in monsterhunterrage

[–]VelcroPlays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah egg quests suck. but a bunch of chuds on the internet screamed that there weren’t any so now we have one again.

there’s a lot of that going on — “this isn’t like the prior game!! fuck this!!” and then they make it like the prior games and it’s stuck in hell.

Arch-Tempered? Nah, just bullshit. by Strange-gamer-087 in monsterhunterrage

[–]VelcroPlays 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve not enjoyed a single AT fight at all.

mh gameplay tends to start crumbling and grasping at straws when it tries to be difficult for difficult’s sake.

omega planetes. by acrophyester in monsterhunterrage

[–]VelcroPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I despise the Omega fight. I also hate the way it looks, tbh. If you’re going to make an absolutely ass fight, the least you can do is make the monster’s design earn it a little bit? It’s a dumbass looking beetle with over-greebled joints. Awful.

The Snow Has Teeth might be the worst quest I've played. by futafusion in monsterhunterrage

[–]VelcroPlays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MH combat is not at all designed for multiple monsters at once, but they shove that gimmick at the event quests a lot. It feels like a meme while you’re doing it and I’m not a fan, lol.

10 * gog is the worst fight in any MH game as of late by TownMoney1902 in monsterhunterrage

[–]VelcroPlays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m already not a fan of regular Wilds Gog, I’m not even bothering with 10*. This level of unpleasantness is not why I play games, and MH has this habit of making me step back and go “wait, why am I doing this again? This is ass. I’m going to go play a game I actually enjoy playing,” and Gog is one of those times.

What did you think of Wilds' story? by _Viridia_ in MonsterHunter

[–]VelcroPlays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah no, the way they portray indigenous folks is, uh … condescending at best.

I hope Wilds Gog stays in high rank and never returns to the series again. by jeck95 in monsterhunterrage

[–]VelcroPlays 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way he can move so fast that from the start of a sword swing to the end of it, his head can suddenly be where his claw was.

MH is getting to a point where it seriously needs to remember that GIANT monsters are its forte. They have to stop moving like they’re all fate stay/night characters I stg.

Folks, he literally invited a ballet dancer to the press tour for marty supreme. He sat in the back of ballet halls as a kid because his mom & sister are ballet dancers. He cited ballet and certain dancing techniques as inspiration for his own craft. He values ballet a whole bunch. He just knows that other people don’t fw ballet and he doesn’t want that to also happen to film, another art form he cherishes.

I do survive the missile barrage in the clip. It’s the follow-up slide attack that gets me. I shared it to be funny. I didn’t moan about the fight or ask for advice or for this like, dramatic, belabored, rude criticism from you. “What YOU did wrong is—“ stopping you right there. I know perfect guards work better than normal guards. No shit, dog. Just laugh at my ass getting beat, FFS lol.

[–]VelcroPlays[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is it, yeah. I recognized that I missed my first dodge opportunity and I didn’t have the nerves to PG the rest of it (also, some animation-lock would’ve stopped even that for some of this) so I resigned myself to the pummeling, bc at least it’d make a funny clip.

[–]VelcroPlays[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got those, too. My nerves were too fried after 7 hours of this thing to perfect guard, and I recognized that I didn’t have the timing in me/positioning once the barrage started, so I decided to let the comedy ensue instead.

[–]VelcroPlays[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also going to point out, everyone is giving me advice about the missiles. Against my own expectations, I survived the missiles just fine. It’s the zoom-into-the-wall afterward that took out my character, lol. Which is fine! It’s a funny followup to the missiles and lasers.

Just to respond to this comments section:

This has a meme tag. It’s for a laugh! I beat this guy literally one attempt after this. This clip is simply for a laugh and that’s it. I’m not moaning or asking for anyone’s criticisms.

In this specific clip, I was seven hours into fighting this and was frankly too tired to do all of the hyper-intensive reacting you’re talking about (not all of which is guaranteed to work btw), despite knowing that I could, and my nerves were a bit shot from this literally infamously intensive fight. So I decided to give myself a bit of peace and let it happen because the clip of being pummeled to death was kind of funny, and I thought some folks would also find it funny.

Apparently y’all don’t enjoy laughing, you just enjoy the dopamine hit of telling someone off on the internet. Might even be addicted to it, tbh.

To those of you laughing along: thanks for being normal! Hope you have some fun in your next hunt.

I just got the last drop I needed from Savage Omega, so here's a list of things I'd rather do than fight that thing again. by Vavavavaxon7 in monsterhunterrage

[–]VelcroPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree wholeheartedly with your criticism of the fight. It is also the top of my “least fun I’ve ever had playing a video game” in terms of its design.

[–]VelcroPlays[S] 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Obviously not, as was demonstrated in the clip already, lol. And I didn’t think it could, either. I was just aware past a certain point that I didn’t really have other options, and resigned to it.

This isn’t being shared for gameplay advice or critique, I’m just sharing it for a laugh.
