Will you be playing MH Rise on PS5 / Xbox? If so, will it be your first time or have you played Rise before?

[@youngdrew7889]

I ain’t gon lie, I already got a lot of work put into the switch version, so No way I’m rebuying and redoing all of that

[@wichdog69]

Im 300 hours into the Switch and Im absolutely going to start all over. Knowing what I know now, my build will reach legendary proportions! 😎

[@greebrotf8724]

First time playing on xbox ☝️

[@uwu-ge6oj]

999 hr on steam with 8 year old laptop bought it on ps5 double dipping right now

[@pinchylobster7392]

I got it on xbox and played for like 2 hours yesterday, and what the hell this game is complicated. looks fun once i get good tho. never played a game like it so its interesting. the combat controls are completely bamboozling me, like when i do certain stuff i get it out but sometimes when i get it out i slap the ground too, or when i sprint i put it away. would appreciate if someone on youtube made the simplest of simple videos on it

[@almightymedina2358]

Most crucial tip I know that wasn’t mentioned: Use a gathering palico for first half or more of game, it’s better to use two gather cats an just have evade extender which extends your swinging animations too making you faster than dogs at lvl 3. Gathering cats can plunder off any monster as well as gather herbs,ore,etc they’ve gotten me many extremely rare monster parts. Moves like Go,fight,win Power drum, Shock purrision, Endemic life support, Are to be sought after when hiring a gathering palico

[@panopticpunk]

@@zaretno719 Bro, we're talking about MHR here. The community has decided spiritbirds are bad, and if your going to play multiplayer you CANNOT go for birds, or your randys will DELIBERATELY fail the hunt. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. It was so bad, that capcom decided they need to make the follower system work EVERYWHERE, for the people who want to play the game the way it was intended. MHR's community is toxic AF - imo, its more toxic the Dark souls HAS EVER BEEN. When the game first came out, content creators went MAD saying how terrible spending 3-4 mins collecting birbs and having what capcom calls "prep time" is the worst thing thats ever happened, let alone looking for endemic life to use in the hunt. What they wanted was "eat, fight, repeat". they didnt wanna explore, collect endemic life, or learn anything about the ecology of the game. They need to make CONTENT, and all these things (which makes a MH game a MH game) run contradictory to pushing out content as fast as possible, so they decided it needed to go (cause its hurts the bottom line/$$$) and they rallied the community behind it. Now we have people like this. I wonder if these people know theres an entire system to take pictures of monsters/eco life, and they get rewarded for it. (weps, armor, layered armor, and giant wire-bugs) Prolly not, since it slows down the content, and most people dont do ANY research for themselves, they just do what their fav YT'er told them to do. In fact. 90% of the people who play this game (including the content creators) dont even know theres enviromental traps. 99% of the vids i've seen discuss how they've been removed from the game and it's a detriment. They're not removed. The map just doesn't blatantly point them out to you (unless your in lava caverns), and these people dont look/explore ANYTHING. It boggles my mind how an entire community can just NOT engage with 70% of the game, based off of what a YT'er said to them. Another example, i believe its 0.3% of hunters use gunlance. Why is it so low? Cause every content creator except Rurikhan has said they "the worst wep in the game". they're not. NOT EVEN CLOSE. Gunlance is the BEST its ever been, and FAR outclasses alot of weps. Lance is objectively the worst wep in the game (damage AND function wise. Poopy damage, and its whole deal is counters, which ALOT of weps can do better. ((CB and GS!!!)) But again, people like "rage gaming" - for example; have said "lance is OP!!" cause of the counters and people just believe it. Seriously boggles my mind. It's like everyone is an NPC now, and can't think for themselves.

[@TheNoahness]

@@panopticpunk I can second the gunlance. I've been a charge blade user and decided to branch out to gunlance. Pleasantly surprised and probably will main gunlance and switchaxe instead of charge blade forever now.

[@MysticSmoker]

@@panopticpunk you seem like you know alot about the game I'm just starting never really played a monster hunter before but I like fast weapons so I'm using the dual blades how good are they I like them so far and are there other fast weapons too?

[@twx7646]

Auto sheath is the equivalent to auto jump in Minecraft. If someone finds out you have it on you’re instantly outcasted from your social group.

[@arabidllama]

The map settings at 10:35 are really important imo - having the zoomed-in minimap showing me where wirebugs and other useful endemic life are can make a lot of hunts a lot easier

[@rny420]

You can just press L1 to zoom in whenever you like. I think the tip with the minimap zoomed in all the time and only not zoomed in when pressing L1 is shit but it comes down to preferences ig. Also you can just let your dog sniff certain items to display them on the big map aswell so no need for the zoomed in view

[@sp00kyd4ddy6]

​@@rny420ever since I got most of my camps and recons set up I haven't really had a reason to use a dog. If I'm farming items I use a map and 2 gather cats lol

[@rny420]

@@sp00kyd4ddy6 yes i do it the same way because cats are just superior in this game. I still see a lot of people using the dogs in online play tho so for them its still a good tip to use the sniffing. In addition to that you learn where stuff is on the map and youll remember certain bone piles or mining locations aswell as the endemic life so no need for the map

[@WolvericCatkin]

"Sniff Out" (whilst requiring you bring a Palamute...) is much more useful for tracking what's available on the map in real-time, because it covers all item categories, and places blue and yellow pins over the locations of gathering points and hunting helpers, respectively. This gives you an indication of where to find something you're looking for, as well as a timer on when that item has respawned, because the pins are hidden once it's been collected.

[@darkdusty1937]

How do you get this?

[@chromeclaw2171]

Damn got me good, 2 things i did not notice with the first two camera tips, so subscribe is done. Keep up your good work

[@thesparrow8333]

My dude , just the 1st tip already changes the game so much . I love you because of this ( as a Great Sword user i thank you ) you deserve more subs .

[@Evil-Olive]

Will definitely try the camera zoom option to see how it feels. Nice suggestions!

[@angcil88]

Whoah it's been years since the last time I watch your videos on MHW, you are speaking much much better now buddy, good on ya! keep it up!

[@justinrazon7200]

Actually helpful tips. I've been playing MH for a long time but only recently started MHR/SB and even as a MH veteran like me, these tips especially those in the settings are still extremely useful and most of them I didn't even know or even think can be changed.

[@grimreefer213]

Another big tip that was not mentioned in this video, I would highly recommend switching your action bar and your item bar! It feels cumbersome having to hold L1 while you’re cycling through your item bar in the midst of combat. Change your item bar so it works how it did in world, by just using the d-pad, and your action bar you’ll have to hold L1 to use. You’re going to be using your action bar a lot less often than your item bar, do yourself a favor and change the settings.

[@Nrt2Pnt0]

I refuse to do that. I even go so far as to disable the item wheel. I like the frantic nature of scrolling through the items to find what you need. Also, it helps to memorize the order in which they're set

[@grimreefer213]

@@Nrt2Pnt0 Lol if that’s your thing then to each their own I guess. I use both, sometimes I use the item bar, but I use the radial menu for things like potions and herbal medicine, and the whetstone. You must have played the older games for you to prefer using the item bar

[@amaegith9871]

Hard disagree. Using L1+X/B let's you keep moving while you are going through the item list, so if you are hunting for something specific in a fight, it is *much* better to leave it as is.

[@grimreefer213]

@@amaegith9871 Im pretty sure I use my right thumb to cycle through the items, I don’t stop moving when I do it, i’ve never had a problem with it

Thanks for this video. Some of these options helped out. I clearly wasn't paying attention enough when I first went through the menu

[@godsangryhands4499]

This is VERY USEFUL! SUBSCRIBED!

[@taesaes701]

Really great tips for beginners and others that don’t delve into the settings. I knew all of these because like you I have over 1000 hours in rise and SB, and I also spent a ton of time configuring things. The most annoying option Is the camera distance… why is the closest the default setting!?

[@justinrazon7200]

They want it to be "cinematic" and like woah I'm so small in a such a big world kind of deal (mostly for new comers to the genre)

[@BlasterJunos]

I would honestly say that it's a result of development for the switch. Using the switch in handheld mode, you can barely see the hunter with it zoomed out. Probably was done so beginners and newcomers would appreciate the armor designs and the hunter they spent time creating

[@taesaes701]

@@BlasterJunos Closest was also the default on monster hunter world which released on the PS/Xbox/PC. Not a limitation of seeing your hunter then.

Day 1 and I've taken a very strong liking to the Hammer and the combos and moves you can do with it. Zoning and ranging took a couple hours to get but its fun and the ariels are so great for the flying enemies 😂. Played all day amd never though to change FOV sometimes hard to get the swing right with the FOV.

I keep the names on the upper left enabled because I keep an eye on other hunters' health. I always keep life powder so I have to know when I need to use it.

[@pallenda]

Great video! I will for sure change the wyvern riding button! For camera control I use a mouse. As a mouse and keyboard user for 30 years, my camera movement with mouse is likely 1000 times better than with a thumbstick on controller. Main drawback is all the tutorials on KZbin for MH games are mainly for controller. But yeah.... camera on thumbstick is just a no go for me. 😊

Honestly, I just watched this cause I had nothing to do but it's a good informative video after all. I knew all of them though, as the first thing I do when I buy a game is fiddle around with settings in order to make sure I'm not missing out on any kind of features. I knew most of them cause I used them in Monster Hunter World, while I discovered the ones introduced in Rise pretty quickly hahaha so yeah, I knew about everything that was said in this video, but as I said it's a good way for people to find out in case they missed something :D

8:30 actually in Type 1 you can still cancel the radial menu item even after you tilt the R-analog stick, just release the L1 first before releasing the R-analog stick

Holy hell! Had no idea that Monster Hunter even had a setting to focus specifically on a monster. They really should add that to the tutorial so new players like me are less frustrated by the Freelook camera system.

[@arevin8432]

I highly recommend disabling camera shake in Rise and screen vibration in World. After turning off this setting it felt like I was playing just a bit more fluidly and I could focus more on what was happening. It'll save you headaches and looks much better when you record Gameplay.

[@KriticSoul]

Maybe for some would work, but for people like me, you are eliminating the flavor of strong attacks, where you can feel them Maybe not everyone is used to camera shakes and that can bother, but i do see this as a crime if it is with me, being GS main it would feel like GS is not strong anymore

[@Smexbi]

Everytime I play a new game I check the Options. In Rise / Sunbreaks case, I made a guide for my friends with screenshots during the time the Demo released, on which options to change, like the detailed map and many other stuff.

[@asheronwindspear552]

I pre-ordered Rise and I've been playing this game since release and I only just learned last night that you can deselect the BBQ spit ans kunai in your items so that they don't show up on your available items, saving time if you don't use the radial wheel.

If you are a gunner keep radial on type 1 its just faster to have your important ammo types be insant flicks

The R3 radial menu option is alright BUT I found my joycons mis reading my input a lot when I pressed down. Also no my joy con's have NO stick drift. The setting can help others BUT in my opinion during a hunt every second matters and the time it took to press the stick can translate to an Attack instead depending on the item
