[@namealreadytaken7116]

I hate that people put off the game when it hasn’t come out. basing it of a mh perspective is fine but when your nitpicking ever little thing and just putting it off as a clone when mh is literally a genre of games. Just because it’s not mh doesn’t automatically mean it’s trying to ride the coattails of world and rise when the company koei tecmo and omega force have made toukiden. some people just compare the monsters when they don’t even look similar like golden tempest was being compared to shara because he has tendrils or saying why even have building mechanics when it’s trying to be different that’s a problem I wouldn’t say anything until you played the game yourself and make your own opinions about the game.

The mechanics were better displayed in this one, and are interesting on paper, unlike what I initially thought. That weapon looks nice too. For now it's a "buy on sale" for me. It may change after release of course, but for now the monsters seem underwhelming, even considering who's fighting them. TDS is even nice enough to let them activate two or three attacks per run but they don't seem to do much...

this looks like you just put a whole bunch of traps to hold them down like you would do in MH with shock/pit traps.

[@oak8194]

Hmm… I don’t really like how floaty the characters, including the huge monsters, move around and how light the attacks feel. Even heavy attacks that could literally split the ground open just lack the force and impact - like there’s no weight behind them. Combats, while looking very flashy and entertaining, also feel rather unsatisfying. Heck, at times it kinda feels like an MMO combat - which is not always a bad thing, but I’d like more interaction and feedback similar to Monster Hunter (of course I’m gonna have to compare it to MonHun). The monsters, honestly, look pretty unimaginative. I mean they look “nice” but definitely nothing new and intriguing. Monsters in Toukiden sure look more interesting and memorable - even if they’re just a re-imagination of classic youkai. But what I’ve seen so far in Wild Hearts are an ice wolf with tentacles, a big flower rat and a fire monkeh. There’s also that big mountain monster in the beginning that looks interesting but hey, it’s not that impressive when you’ve already seen the like of Dalamadur and Zorah Magdaros. But the game looks like it plays well and certainly keeps in the style of Omega Force, so that’s fine. It’s just that I have to look and judge it form the MonHun perspective, so that’s my thought on it.

[@momonatics4life796]

Voiced out every gripe I had for this game, not to mention how some of the monster animation is so unpolished, it feels and looks clunky to be honest. And for me personally they lack personality, and like you said the design is basically rat+tree, wolf+ice, tiger+vines, racoon+bush, bear+mountain, like I draw for a living and I honestly can do better with these design concepts. I mean just look at Anjanaths design in monster hunter, it's simply a t-rex with a vultures features but just the way they designed and the way it attacks adds so much charm and personality to it as a creature. Still I might buy it if there won't be any severe issues on launch.

One thing for sure is when a lot of the monsters came out in the previous titles they were pretty damn original such as Teostra, khezu, tigrex, gore magala, nargacuga, i guess rathalos/ian are capcoms own design of dragons which is pretty cool, etc. Point is even MH has some lacking designs

Now that's some good nodachi gameplay ! Saw another gameplay of it yesterday but the weapons looked bad, there's some genuine combo here, not just charge after charge.

[@BrokoFankone]

KZbin compression makes the graphics look bad but I doubt they will be disappointing in reality. The important thing for this game's success is to have smooth and solid gameplay. MH Rise looks way worse than this, yet is a very popular game since the gameplay loop is solid and addictive. If the weapons, animations and fight mechanics are good, then it has potential for lots of expansions or new games into the franchise, etc. So if the base is solid, that's all you really need. But if the base is boring and bland, then it has no chance. I'm curious to see all the boss fights, weapon rotations, and some builds before making any judgement calls about the game.

[@ken5040]

Same. MH speed runs, where traps are being spammed are kind of lame. At least spamming traps in MH is optional. But in this game you are kind of forced to use the building mechanic. Yet, they could just use buildings that deal damage, instead of buildings that constrain the monster's movements.

As a veteran monster hunter player all the way back to PSP games, I'd say I had a fun time playing the demo. The combat is new although most weapons and gameplay felt pretty similar to monster hunter, the building part while hunting the monsters was a pretty dope experience. I wouldn't say its worth $70 but definitely on the 40-60$ price range. At the end of the day, I still prefer the monster hunter series nothing will beat it.

The monster's visuals are nice, but unfortunately, everything else looks like shit. The audio effects sound like they cost about three fiddy for a pack of 50, and i'm fairly certain i've already heard that wolf howl before. The attacks of the monster look uninspired and underwhelming, the entire flow of combat sems like "now watch us Fortnite up some war machines and stunlock this pooch till he's dead lol" (Yes i know that they are SPEEDRUNNERS, I have watched their previous videos, I know that this is what they do, make the fight look easy, CHILL YOUR BEANS). Overall, this seems like another typical EA cashgrab, them seeing MH having made big numbers across all platforms, and deciding that they definitely want a piece of that cake. 3/10, maybe get in once it's on a 70% sale on Steam, otherwise a safe skip.

So from this video and others I have seen on the game: There just doesn't seem to much depth to the combat. That monster feels less detailed and less fleshed out than even a bird wyvern in MH, with less mechanics and with less character. This sword is literally like 5 moves that, at least from watching, don't seem to be satisfying, compared to how for example a Great Sword feels in MH (keep in mind the GS basically has the same number of moves, yet because of how you must read and react to the monster it feels incredible it play.) Also the building just seems awkward and spammy. Also, since this is a speed run, it looks like it will be the most optimal way to play. Honestly if this is on game pass for Xbox I will try it for myself, but unless there are changes or great reviews flying out when it releases it looks like I will not be touching it. It's a shame really, as when this was first announced I was excited for a competitor to MH. I do hope I am wrong but so far I'm confident I am not.

Because this is Toukiden. They just changed the name to get more people on it since Toukiden didn't get a lot of traction. It is the same team that made Toukiden

[@thehellpenguinlordsofthepe8577]

The fact you can spew traps after traps after traps is a bit... well... I'm not liking the Fortnite building vibe of the game and traps looks OP with either very high damage or long control... But, I like the level design, being able to fight inside a castle ruin, like inside big room or in place that look relatively realistic is nice.

[@professorpenne9962]

at least they tried lol, still looks garbo compared to monster hunter though

[@moldyshishkabob]

Yeah, I agreed the Fortnite aspect of it really kills things for me. It's within that part of game design that makes it not easily viewable by the average person. "How did he pull that thing up? Why did he grab that glowing orb off of its butt? What did grabbing that orb even do?"

[@jawcrusher2229]

As a very skilled player in MHWI and rise . . . I can understand the comments and concerns ppl have. However plz remember that you could have always bring traps in MH and craft able to make more traps, smoke powder, paralyze knives, poisons bombs, flash bombs and if u wanted super easy mode just bring a bow gun with stickies ammo and u could chain KO even temper elder dragons. Heck even or Palico could help I'm saying this to remind ppl that there were always ways to make the hunts easier, also remember that TDS always use some of the most efficient ways to hunt doesn't mean the average player can use it or will use them.

[@gendengraven5049]

@@jawcrusher2229 I can guarantee of why people hate the buildings and traps is because they are not realistic enough. they probably dont like the idea of summoning a tower out of sudden

[@jawcrusher2229]

@@gendengraven5049 I can understand that. I didn't like the idea of spawning random stuff in the hunt either I thought it killed the immersion of the game flow 🤔 but then I realise based on the world and the story of the game it is the games flow its part of the monsters, the world and its a part your character as well. But I can see why ppl would dislike it. What I do think is a bit unfair is watching expert speed runners who are well Coordinated and always finding efficient way to kill the monster and ppl see that and say the game is super easy.

There is no weight or momentum to any of the attacks. From the monsters or Hunters. You can tell no one is gonna play this game past a month.

[@mrbubbles2569]

Do the monsters ever attack in this game?

[@jodofe4879]

Not in a Team Darkside speedrun. Just look at some of their MH speedruns, it is all about keeping the monster down for as much as possible.

[@samuraidog1510]

They don't attack on mh either. That's what speedruns are all about.

[@reallycantthinkofausername487]

My reaction as a mh gigachad player: this Monster do litteraly nothing.

[@randonmateo3607]

Happy hunting 👍

[@domydoes5020]

The monster doesn't seem to have much personality. It looks like it would be similar to odogaron, like a fast attacker, but instead it just spams aoes. I rlly hope it's only this monster that's like this.

[@canomeister4327]

it looks like lunagaron

[@katmiller614]

It has way more attacks it’s just they kept trapping it. It literally couldn’t get a move out.

[@katmiller614]

That’s why I say if you like MHW then you gonna like this. But this game is a bit easier then MHW because of the building.

[@NYYYank1]

[@mikhah4828]

Idk monsters in MH Series are more believeable. Both are fantasies but MH design is more acceptable for me instead of growing branches here and there.

[@anonymousstout4759]

Oh they made a slight delay when the hit connected, very neat!

[@DeWitt22]

yeah but that is done in every game with combat, monster hunter, god of war, dmc, etc to sell the impact of the hit

[@moldyshishkabob]

FYI, the technical term is "hitstop", if I recall correctly.

[@nya_mero]

That "charge" sheath mode is taking so long just to deal 200-ish damage when he can spam light/heavy combo and deal more than that. For a sluggish weapon you'd expect it to be satisfying when it hits, especially when you charge it up that long.

[@skewerd]

You're supposed to slash while in sheath mode to charge it super fast as it adds charge bar per hit, takes like 2 verticals and 1 horizontal to go from 0-100%

[@TAZMASTA40]

I don't feel like yall should be going so hard on these bosses. It's not really showing the monsters any justice when you fuck em up so bad they can't retaliate. Or maybe these bosses don't move much and just spam aoe attacks.

[@plus-delta4477]

Wait so there's a Longsword AND a regular katana? (Also, they put Lunagaron in the game. Dope)

[@S4NlTYS]

The greatsword is a nodachi, which is what they are using here. It’s a bit built down the tree so it’s a bit slimmer than the default design obv to the monster parts its upgraded from

[@verinenpihvi]

don't know how it feels to play but as a spectator i can say something feels off. many little things for example the text popping up on your screen at 1:08 is very intrusive. the sliding, especially uphill just looks weird. 2:23 the climbing animation is awful. it just doesn't feel like the game is polished enough. edit: have to mention the attack at 3:48 which barely looks like an attack. it's as if the dog is just catching it's breath. monster attacks should be easily distinguishable so you don't feel like something invisible hit you.

[@dreamforger7166]

[@icebergfrostfire3975]

The music in the background is fire

[@HarryPoggers44]

I don't know what it is about this game but it just looks off to me. The ambience and area effect elements just look meh, like they are too transparent or something. Everything seems to have a floaty look about it in the gameplay I have seen so far. It looks like it could be a cool/fun game to play but the effects and overall polish just seems off in a way I cant really put my finger on. Great video Darkside as always, and hopefully it's just the processing through uploading this content to youtube that effects how this game looks because I was really looking forward to this one!

[@TheTickyTickyTicky]

you can grab onto the monster? I feel like the wind is pushing me

[@boogieofbnt3192]

I see comments like it doesnt look refined or deathstalker looks slow or the music is off or the tracking looks weird. The deathstalker fight is incredible. Just like monster hunter, you have to play the game to get why its fun

[@kyvan_unheist8584]

I see so much bias against a game who's actually a legitimate rival against MH in the longest time, unlike Dauntless, Nioh or Toukiden. Ppl just mouthing off with empty brains lol. Shit IPs like Assassin's Creed can be allowed to exist, but suffer not the new IPs that are actually GOOD!

[@lonely_monarch]

The issue with trap spamming is that is free for the player, no crafting or resources needed (at least it appears so to me) and most importantly the monster doesn't adapt and learn to free itself quickly or destroy them and on top of that the monster is stationary most of the time

[@daorasama]

Maybe this is entry level monster..so a bit ez n can spam trap...who knows theres an elder dragon level where u cant do certain stuff like using trap for example..maybe

[@shutup1037]

There's limit how much you can set up. You can fill the resource to make trap by grabbing the string from the monster body

[@ken5040]

You do need resources for all building. This is a speed run they are geared higher you would be for this monster and have full mats. Also they haven’t shown any of the end game upgraded monsters yet. (No one has)

[@davidmuller6011]

You do need resources lol

[@lonely_monarch]

I see most people missing my main point, even if traps need resources with enough hoarding/gathering they can be spammed, my main concern is the monster looks defenseless against them, the monster needs a way to deal with traps or other gadgets. Limited use, longer cool downs after a number of uses or make the mon immune to them or better have the mon punishes you for using them or something.
