Unfortunately, despite exceptions to the rule, games journalism has gone in the same path of corporate journalism. Into the toilet.

We likely just started to notice thanks to the ease of access to information over the internet.

I legit came to the comments to say this, I also watched the IGN coverage and both seem far more. . . Human, than alot of games journalism has felt for years.

[@kevindiaz3089]

The Capcom team definitively outdid themselves with these new changes, a true example for other game devs out there. My only concern now, and for other MH fans I'm sure are: 1) Difficulty. The recent journalists that played the newest version already spoke of difficulty being rather low. We all know this is a base game, and it is aiming for a wider audience, so we can't expect Dark Souls 1 level of Difficulty, but nonetheless, in past games MH Difficulty was somewhat comparable to Dark Souls games, especially in endgame. So I really hope that Difficulty increases as we advance through the game, and not let it be a cakewalk for experienced players, which would be a shame. 2) The skill system now divides weapons skills and armor skills. Just look at an endgame skill set in either Iceborne or Sunbreak, a whole lot of offensive skills, right? Now, in Wilds offensive skills can only be equipped to weapons, or accessory if the recent interview is right, so I really hope towards endgame, we can build skill sets that can have reasonably the same Quantity of offensive skills as other games like Sunbreak or Iceborne. Example: Attack Boost max, Weakness Exploit lv 3, Critical Boost lv 3, weapon specific skill (like Quick Sheathe lv 3), other affinity/attack boosting skills All in one set But all in all, it is really looking to be the Best MH game ever 🎮 👌

[@jockpackage1770]

I adored hammer in the beta. Lance was my biggest disappointment in the beta, I hope the overhauls they said that lance and switch axe are getting go well. Honestly, SA was in my top 2 of the beta, with hammer. Those 2 felt the most improved, overall. Switch axe felt so fun, having a great balance between axe and sword mode, not to mention the new moves. Sadly, it was proven to be the second worst weapon, for damage, just ahead of lance and only achieved this with an over reliance on spamming the new full release slash. Lance's issues were just it being lance so... Well, it's memed to heal the monster for a reason. Not to mention, the beta removing hit lag for every other weapon... Only to kind of give lance all of that hit lag, when low hit lag/getting hits in with the smallest openings as you can flow between blocking and striking freely was the point of the lance. Pun intended. Hammer was the best it's ever been, mighty charge is awesome! It should stay as the best wake up hit, GS with focus mode is way easier to hit the right part of the animation for the TCS wake up. With hammer, focus mode does not help at all. It's not a matter of angle, it's a matter of distance. If you are too close your spinning will eat the wake up hit before the big bonk. You have to learn that distance to spin without hitting the monster and have the big hit land. Insect glaive has already seen results, from the feedback, in this version though. They've added the vaulting dance combo/the bounce where you get to continue doing air combos in 3s, as you pogo stick above monster attacks. Not having it in the beta was weird since; the Wilds/World team invented the bounce, this game uses the Rise engine, and Rise had more monster attacks that could hit you in the air. They tried to buff the aerial game for Rise, after that was the only way in World to do less damage than lance, by giving it this trait of doing more damage as each mid air move hits in succession. Yeah, IG also had the worst controls in the Wilds beta, focus mode was annoying and required. Because aiming the normal way demanded a claw grip for no bloody reason. Just use Iceborne controls and let us toggle R3 to swap aiming modes for weapons that can aim without focus mode. Hey, at least lunastra had a mitigation skill... Until Iceborne ruined that by turning it off. Uth duna is another point on my wish list though. I was begging, since before Iceborne, for monsters that made World's aquatic/polar expert skill actually worth using by having actually challenging fights in those environments. I'm betting I will love uth duna. Even if I don't, doubt it, it granted my wish and maybe other monsters will do similar things.
