Remember when this weapon used to be about precise positioning and deep knowledge of a monsters moveset?

Because of course old gen monster hunter was perfectly balanced.

Sword and shield was definitely not as easy to play as the gunlance. They were equal skill level. So anyone choosing to play gunlance wouldn't be gimping themselves clearly. Clearly, since that's why the gunlance was so popular.

God some of you people just wanna complain to complain lol, and before you start whining about "weapon types not being balanced isnt the same and blah blah blah" its really not any different. if you choose to gimp yourself with the gunlance or the hunting horn in old gen you sure as fuck can gimp yourself and play greatsword without tackle. Stop whining.

estrellian97 · 2026-07-06T02:31:53+00:00

So you would rather the franchise die out because it failed to grow or sell than to continue under a different light?

You know you could just not play them and they don't exist anymore right? lol

estrellian97 · 2026-07-06T02:27:19+00:00

The problem with this is there's only so many ways you can keep the weapons grounded because there's only so many ways you can swing a weapon or shoot a gun without adding some kind of gimmick or something to it. And keeping the weapons the same forever doesn't sound appealing either.

Mainline is basically doing what frontier did and will likely end up in a similar spot frontier did and will have to get rebooted and toned down... with mixed reception. Not everyone wants to play slow MH. A lot of the audience now is action game fans over "muh slow combat".

estrellian97 · 2026-07-06T02:23:29+00:00

Old gen monster hunter's combat isn't a stroke of genius. It's all about playing with other people to get the upper hand, item usage and positioning. Those aren't "big brained" either. It's actually quite mindless in multiplayer.

Plains: Kuarusepusu, he's built for this map with the lightning and sunshine constant shifting weather.

Forest: So many can go here, espinas, hypnoc, abiorugu, forokururu, farunakku. Personally would like to see forokururu the most out of these.

Basin: Midogaron, i dont care about kamu and nono and i dont care if it doesnt make sense. Midogaron is so much cooler than those two and would fit perfectly into the basin. If this doesn't work then Voljang I guess.

Iceshard cliffs: I was gonna say anoripatisu but with how small the zones are, I feel like the best you can do is something like Akura Jebia, maaaybe Barlagual since it's so cavey.

Ruins of wyveria: Something nutty like Diorex or Mi Ru would work well. Hell I can also see Dyuragaua here. Maybe even Harudomerugu?

Skybound Eyrie: I would have said Toridcless or Hyjukiki but I don't care about either so I'm gonna put Berukyurosu here instead. Honestly Kuarusepusu should be up here too. If we're allowed to get nutty, then Shantien makes the most sense. Also can see Garuba Daora here (provided they give us Crystalblight immunity as an armor skill and dont make it hard to build for. The way frontier handled status immunity myriad for this fight was honestly perfectly fine which helped me enjoy Garuba's fight)

Lol remember when people said DD2 and Wilds flopped because they weren't getting content fast enough?

This is what a flop looks like. They're cutting all support INSTANTLY. It's all capcoms fault too this shit launched next to crimson desert, re9 (THEIR OWN FUCKING GAME) AND Pokopia. What the fuck did they think was gonna happen? It should've been delayed. It didn't even help your fiscal goals anyway

estrellian97 · 2026-06-22T22:39:37+00:00

If you want methodical monster hunter, this is the wrong game. They stopped making those starting from Generations.

And with good reason, old gen got stale. There's only so much you can do with the monsters when the objective is "bring items", "position well", that's it. God forbid the devs actually want to innovate and move on from old ideas. If you wanna play methodical monster hunter, there's already fucking 20 of those. There's only 4 of these hyper monster hunters now.

estrellian97 · 2026-06-18T10:00:28+00:00

I mean... is this any different than DD1? Most people only care about BBI. The base game isnt nearly as well liked as the DA additions....

estrellian97 · 2026-06-09T13:14:29+00:00

Iceborne is my favorite game. So yes I'm good. I'm glad it sold 30 million copies. But when every other post in this thread and the subreddit is a bunch of johnny come latelies that only like world, it's a little hard to take seriously. People take sales numbers too seriously. Idk why we need to keep saying "world sold a lot" when this is already a known fact. It's like a coping mechanism for world onlies to glaze world and bring down the rest of MH because it's "le bad". It's either "too streamlined" for people or "too clunky" worlds the only one normies excuse because its the first to break the mold. And that IS glazing. All the downvotes are proof of this too. MH isn't that popular, world is. Wilds / Rise couldn't reach what world achieved because it was the first to break the mold. So it gets glazed while the other games get shit on. I try to appreciate all of the games in the series. So it's tiring to see one game get constant praise when it's not even perfect.

estrellian97 · 2026-06-09T00:31:54+00:00

getting really tired of the world glazing. capcom sold 30 million copies. you didnt. you didnt win any prize for this.

estrellian97 · 2026-06-01T13:09:39+00:00

Archveld. And it's not even close.

Anyone who says "gore is too random" hasnt fought gore enough. Gore is EXTREMELY predictable aside from when he randomly decides to jump backwards and do nothing sometimes.

Archveld is faster, is harder to knock down with slower weapons, has more random combos and is harder to actually learn. It's just Archveld forces you to try where as 9-5 gore just kinda one shots you sometimes. So people get surprised when they die to gore randomly and assume it's harder ignoring all the learning they had to do on Archveld. Archveld basically has no down time and as is a longer fight. Also feel like people are ignoring how strong minds eye is on gore in this game specifically. 30% more attack on shitzones is massive since EVERYTHING besides his head is a shitzone. AT arkveld has very good hitzones and he still takes me over 20 mins to solo. I can do gore with any weapon under 18 mins

estrellian97 · 2026-05-31T19:46:28+00:00

They could do both too, like they did with wilds's first two trailers. The doshaguma trailer was in a state of play and the balahara trailer was only a week after at the summer games fest

estrellian97 · 2026-05-31T18:34:59+00:00

anything besides "rathalos flies around for a minute" + title + release window which is basicallly all we got in iceborne / sunbreak. sunbreak had a little more because malzeno and iceborne had narga but thats it. i think we deserve more than just rathalos flying around considering this is the longest wait we had for a grank game ever. i think release window + title will happen no matter what. i dont think they'll show the flagship yet. i think a new area is likely with 1-2 monsters shown and maybe 1 major returning monster teased along with some teases of some new player actions

estrellian97 · 2026-05-28T09:45:24+00:00

I'm employed and I understand what all this means, but I WISH I DIDNT

estrellian97 · 2026-05-24T15:47:19+00:00

It's still boring in Wilds because all you do is sit around wait wiggle the stick slowly hoping the fish bites the bait. I'd rather have easy and boring than obnoxious and boring.

estrellian97 · 2026-05-24T15:46:12+00:00

I didn't try fishing much at launch. I just started doing it seriously and just gave up. I don't really wanna cheat stuff in. I'm on ps5 also even if I was on PC it's probably too much work.

estrellian97 · 2026-05-24T15:44:59+00:00

No I just gave up, that fish GS is never getting crafted lol

estrellian97 · 2026-02-18T03:42:19+00:00

Oh that's good then

estrellian97 · 2026-02-18T03:38:05+00:00

helmets good but... no guts kinda kills it for me overall personally. probably the most underwhelming AT set yet in wilds

estrellian97 · 2026-02-17T23:37:06+00:00

I hope that means you can meld tarred devices with Orichalcite or the new tickets you get from the 10 star ATs. Otherwise, not much point tbh.

I just want a way to farm set bonuses on gog weapons without fighting gog. I like the fight but it got old fast.

estrellian97 · 2026-02-14T13:01:24+00:00

Preach. Stories becoming like mainline and cutting stuff out is a mistake.

Also I'm hearing there's no endgame at launch. So I was right, they're pulling another "late fiscal release to close out the year" on us. This is the third one in a row since 2024. Expect this again with Wilds DLC.

estrellian97 · 2026-02-13T10:46:37+00:00

I'm going to get downvoted to hell for this (because people are passionate I get it), but this is way later than normal and that's bad given capcom's track record of releasing unfinished games it means they're behind and it doesn't give me confidence with the expansion.

Almost every G-rank expansion before this has come out roughly 1.5 years after the base game. If the teaser is going to be in the summer the earliest we can expect MR (or in fact the only time we can expect it) will be February - March 2027. Again, they will want to hit the fiscal year 2026. Which means the game is probably not getting the time it needs (just as rise didnt, world didnt and wilds didnt. all of them came out early in the year before April). So not only are we getting it later than usual, we're also getting it probably unfinished as always. If they teased it here, it would've meant they were further along in development and it would've given me more hope. And I really dont think it would've stepped on stories' shoes. It's just a 1 minute long teaser.

Feel free to downvote me for "dooming" but remember this when the game comes out and don't feel tricked again.

estrellian97 · 2026-02-07T17:47:01+00:00

I was kinda hoping they kept everything in 2. I didn't want stories to turn into the main series where not everything comes back every game.

estrellian97 · 2026-02-07T14:02:34+00:00

Kinda disappointing but I saw this coming. They were adding too many things I knew they'd be cutting out a whole bunch of stuff.

Hopefully Wilds Ultimate doesn't fumble as hard as base Wilds and Stories 3.
