Is God Eater 3 a Good Monster Hunter Game?

[@edullamoso9248]

It hurts so much

[@bluejaygaming3703]

Personally, I think it hurts the game’s reputation being compared to Monster Hunter even tho the basics of the combat/gameplay is based on the Hunting RPG that MH pioneered. Aside from that, God Eater is a very different game. It’s better to play the game expecting an Action JRPG with combat mechanics similar to MH than a “Monster Hunter-like game” because again you’ll just be disappointed if you play GE expecting MH. TL;DR Expect more of a Hack & Slash Action JRPG rather than Monster Hunter and you won’t feel (as) disappointed.

"I wonder how old we are at this point" Its Anime, you are undoubtedly 16-18 years old. Obviously stronger and more capable than any experienced adult. As is tradition.

[@marclenraymagdaraog691]

yeah but the guys are about 24-30 ish something. but yeah since most are discarded kids it's safe to assume most of them are kids lol

[@otroweonllamadoseba]

Actually, all God Eaters are in similar levels,except if they show to be stronger. Lindow was an adult and was one of the strongest God Eater in the world.

[@Eclin]

If they look really mature, pretty high chance they are only 16 or so. If they look like babies, there’s some chance that they are 30+ years old, or even 100+ Anime.

[@ericquiabazza2608]

Nha, they are just humans still. For those that dont know a God Ark (weapone) is made from the Core of an aragami, so ITS ALIVE and would consume you if the brazalet dosnt dispense supresants regularly. So its permanent, and very letal.

[@Arkansym]

I laugh at you, because I know the truth. Hugo, the main NPC guy you play with is 20. You are seen to be similar age to him, with the possibility of being older or younger. So the character's age is around 20, but could realistically be as high as something like 25, and granted, as low as 15, given the cutscene at the start when your avatar is a kid. And God Eaters strength varies entirely on how their body responds to the Oracle Cells. It's called Oracle Cell Adaptation or something. Your character's is A Rank because power fantasy. You can assume everyone else in your group is C or B. Soma, who you run into later in the game, while I haven't checked his age yet, should around his 30s at least by now, and is easily one of the strongest God Eaters on the planet. The setting is very science fiction. Very nicely written, actually. To be specific, your character is an AGE, an Adaptive God Eater, which means you got more Oracle Cells pumped into you. Which means you have more superhuman power than standard God Eaters in Average. Soma is a normal God Eater. And he's implied to he equal to you in strength. The more you know. Edit: Just want to mention this is the bare bones of it. I'd be writing out a semi novel to explain it all.

[@RauschenPauli]

glad you enjoyed it. i really hope there will be a godeater 4 with an upgrade to the overall flow of combat like what happend with world and while i feel god eater 3 was a good step . there could be more.

[@erikgardner4777]

Don't know why people suddenly think GE4 would come out any time soon if at all, I mean talking realistically the time it took for GE3 to come out in between 2 was a few years, and Rage Burst isn't even the original version, it's the imported version that added another segment to the story of the original 2 that was only realeased in Japan for maybe a year before Rage be burst came out

[@ZEROthefirst]

@@erikgardner4777 Yeah, the Burst update/expansion is more likely and needed before we just move onto the next game.

[@gamerkingdom1442]

HEEEEYYY! You played the game! Okay, a few things to know: 1. The storyline actually changed a lot between 2 to 3! In the first and second games, God Eaters are viewed more as soldiers fighting a war against the Aragami, the monsters you fight. Only in 3 did the change to prisoners being the God Eaters. 2. The biggest customization in the series is actually the BULLETS you can use! You can literally make ANYTHING with the system! 3. If I’m not mistaken, the same Dev team that made The God Eater series also made Code Vein. That’s why their art style and gameplay are very similar! With that being said, hope you, Josh and Cotton enjoy this game!! And maybe I should start playing it. I own Eater 3, but haven’t been able to play it.

[@ShinKyuubi]

TOUKIDEN!! You GOTTA check out the Toukiden series, it's by Koei Tecmo's Omega Force..the guys who do the Dynasty Warriors games and in one of the games they had the wire mechanic before the clutch claw and WAY before the Wire Bug mechanic of Rise. You hunt Japanese demons to make weapons from their parts..it's pretty much KT's take on the MH series. Toukiden 2 came out on PS4 in March 2017 in the US and had the Demon Hand mechanic which is like the Clutch Claw in that you can latch onto monsters but there were more things in the world you could latch onto with it more like the Wire Bugs in Rise..World came out in 2018 worldwide but Toukiden 2 at least in Japan came out back in July 2016..so plenty of time for Capcom to take notes.

I have some of this series including Gods Eater 3. It’s in that overall genre on fighting large monsters, but they did such a decent job creating completely different systems in it, so I feel it has come into its own, fairly well, where one could be in the specific mood to play this game.

GE3 was much easier for me to play through and with better graphics it made it more fun for me. Was able to pass code vein as well during the start of the pandemic which was also a fun game. Hoping for a code vein 2 or GE4 soon

[@LordOfElm]

I've played all of the games in the God Eater series, and was shocked to learn that Code Vein had a connection to the same world. The games have way more focus on story than traditional monster hunter, which plays a big role in the pacing and difficulty of early game. It ramps up fast, and you'll be wishing your AI allies were stronger lol.

[@ungabungakng]

Best game in the series

[@DymnHasatori]

I think an incredibly huge facet was ignored here, perhaps not explored due to the 2 hour limit self implemented. The Bullet Customization. The Bullet Customization is AMAZING. Truly, if you don't look up guides for making bullet, it would be quite hard to make the same bullet as someone else, as the customization of bullets, while incredibly complex, the potential is actually quite limitless. It is imo better done in God Eater 2 Rage Burst, but 3 does it very well too. Anyone who plays this game, I would highly recommend playing with this feature of customizing bullets, as it's depth is truly one worth exploring in the game.

[@Mr._Sherwood]

It's especially good in the older games where your custom bullets ran off of your OP and not a hard cap on how many you brought. In the right hands custom bullets can break the game something fierce.

[@alvinreinaldy5148]

better in GE2RB. so good that they have to remove blasters because of "meteor bullet" becoming instant NUKE button

[@Mr._Sherwood]

honestly I never really bothered with the old meteor bullet cheese. I just liked blowing shit up, blast gun was fun as hell once you could make bullets not hit your friends. And I've never not felt satisfied popping a Borg's shield in a couple good shots.

[@alvinreinaldy5148]

well, disappointing that it's proven to be not a feature kept.

[@Mr._Sherwood]

Yeah, they nerfed custom bullets big time. First, they had set ammo instead of running off of your OP, so they were unreliable. Second, they had a hard cap on how many you could bring, and it was stingy. I mean, I've swapped from beams to radials recently and I'm getting way further for my buck outside of a few cases, it's just that I wish I could actually mess with those. So yeah, I hope they bring back Res/RB's bullet system in the future.

[@downgrade101]

GE is pretty fun. Actually been playing it a lot waiting for MHR.

Fantastic games, been playing them since the very first one which was all bout the bite move having a quick charge lvl 3. 2 was the start of alot of the hunter art/blood art styles, 3 did it but made it better since this are 3rd generation god eater hunters. first gen hunters where pretty basic but op. All of them are slow starts just like old monster hunter games where you its like go get 2 rawr meat and cook and go get 5 herbs ect, mostly to intro you to how small monsters act, but soon enough you will fighting baddies that are faster and stronger and just hit so much harder, and fighting with mutli monsters on the map. Its hella great

The problem with the companions is that they always operate at the same strength. They don't really get stronger and therefore are already at a pretty high base power in the early game. The difficulty in GE usually comes with the lategame content.

I really loved this game, loved the customization, and the anime design. One thing that bothered me is the poor online service though. Its so hard to find a match. And once you finish the story there's not really much to do.

[@Shadgeta]

Great vid, u gave the game a fair chance and was unbias which is something many people struggle with. 1 tip I'll give for these videos is to maybe have someone like a guest on so they can give a few pointers, or mixture so first 2 hours solo and another 2 with a guest. This way it'll also show if the game is easy to understand to newcomers and also be a guide for some hidden things that 1 may learn later that can help newer plays 1 example being after u beat the monsters u should use your devour skill(quick or charged) to get materials as monster hunter craves. Now my thoughts on God Eater...I love the series I played resurrection(a remaster for 1) 2 rage burst(which is god eater 2 with an extra arc and a new final boss) and god eater 3. 3 is quite a bit easier compared to resurrection and 2rb but 3 is still a blast to play. 3 is great for newcomers that never played monster hunter style games and I'll say resurrection is the best with 3 a close second.

FACTS THIS JUST HAPPENED TO ME LOL

[@FElord-dw1sy]

God Eater Fan here, just wanted to make a few clarifications/note some things both gone over and not gone over in the video for anyone interested. Firstly, God Eater is way more Story and Character driven and focused. God Eater 3 is the easiest GE game in my own opinion. 1 and 2 are harder but also don't have some of the QoL feature that make 3 enjoyable to play (such as its faster pace) however, a bit of difficulty is survival missions of which you do multiple hunts back to back without healing up or restoring items, with the exception of your NPC's abilities Any melee weapon can be used with any ranged weapon and any shield type It was skipped over but bullet customization is a thing. You can go very in depth customizing bullets which leads to OP bullets. So much so they removed a gun type between GE2 and 3 because of it Link Rounds are obtained from devouring and can either be used to fire a moderately powerful shot or give your allies burst. It also levels them up from level 1 to 2, and 2 to 3 Speaking of burst, burst enhances damage, allows you to double jump, and allows you to use burst arts in GE3 Not shown but every weapon has more to their moveset, for example the Scythe has an extended reach combo sequence than can be done that consumes stamina for each swing Also devouring a monster is GE's equivalent of carving, but only needs to be done once Engage is exclusive to GE3 and shares buffs between party members Also exclusive to GE3 is the dive mechanic (the shield charge) which allows you to follow monsters easier and travel faster. Part of why the game is easier but also more enjoyable to play in my opinion, though GE2 is my personal favorite. Overall, I really like God Eater, but that's probably my bias from playing it before I played Monster Hunter. I'd recommend people give it a try though. The demo for GE3 should still be on PC/Consoles if you want to give it a try and see how it feels.

I may be the only one but I am really hoping that we get a review of Toukiden 2. I love the series and loved the fast pace fighting style. It was the only think I actually liked more about it than monster hunter. The weapons all felt unique and the mitama spirits gave you your own play style

[@utomoaditya2095]

Well yeah in this game you're the prisoner on the way to the suicide mission, but if you want to go back to the older version you are nobody become a special force (like a swat team that hunt giant creature) by matching your blood sample to the weapon and become a hero

[@Heavenly_Heal]

As an avid God Eater fan, I wish the anime would be extended and continued into the GE 2/3 story arcs

Theres one more moveset by Holding down the light attack button with R1

Huh I just got GE2 rage burst last month And I haven't seen any GE3 content on KZbin for 2 years

[@zeehero7280]

God Eater isn't exactly monster hunter, its monster hunter and JRPGs baby.

[@neharex2341]

I played God Eater Burst once until the end game. As a "Monster hunter" like game, GE is really good imo. I like the story, and the weapon mechanic that can change from melee to ranged or shield mode. The only thing that I don't like from GE is some of the monster (aragami) design sometimes feels too weird.

Especially against devour attacks.

[@kairos1993]

I couldn't get into it whilst playing the demo but that might be because monster hunter is in my comfort zone and we all know how time consuming these type of games can be.

[@sp00kdagul]

Me and my friends played and cleared this game. Its really a good monster hunter like, the only problem I had with it is the end game isnt really enticing to do.

[@solio4327]

I love god eater 3, i found it a lot of fun. My only gripe is that in endgame the Arigami die a bit too fast, but i enjoy fighting them regardless. I love that you can block and parry with all weapons.

[@solio4327]

Also solo hunting is something you can do later on.

[@NightLexic]

Having played the God Eater series, Yes it is absolutely possible to do missions solo, heck the qualification missions force solo play. I do agree early game is a bit awkward but its is also geared towards being new player friendly (ie. someone who has never played this kind of game before to ease them into it). This game also does have a grind that can be rather harsh as well especially when farming materials. Now this is of my opinion and my opinion alone but GE3 is the pinnacle of the series and 1&2 and their remastered counterparts tend to be lacking. All in all the god eater series is a fun set of games to play.

[@deinonychus1948]

"This game also does have a grind that can be rather harsh" oh don't get me started on that! at least some materials can be exchanged for certain rare items but yeah, God Eater and Monster Hunter are very similar in that case!

[@TheKnizzine]

I like how Rise is the first MH ive liked enough to 100% and it borrowed heavely from the popular MH likes. All it needed to do was give me a little more mobility and i like it as much as GE.

Hollow: Burst Arts are like hunter arts Me:- mental facepalm- actually no there a weaker version of the Blood Arts from God Eater 2 and GE2 Rage Burst

At least you can use three at a time instead of only being restricted to one.

[@LR-jb6zn]

thanks for playing it. not expecting you playing tge 3rd one. its really fun, from bullet customization and the battle system. its pretty nice. thing i dont like from GE games is their map are too small, they need to expand it more. oh yeah, your defense calculated with your shield, so your appereance just a cosmetic, good for fashion. i really want to know josh and catton opinion about this game.

[@deinonychus1948]

they actually did a Pro and Noon series on it but stopped pretty quickly, not sure why they stopped

[@riemaennchen]

God Eater is fun. The games take quite some time to get going though.

[@b52incoming.48]

Yeah a lot imagine a crossover between the games.

[@noy4tek450]

i think one thing you missed out you can create your own bullet with combining and Programming how you like or the game let you but i love your review and can totaly agree with you and your arguments. Its kinda Sad this Game never would be released on Xbox, mainly on Playstation until part 3 because sony wants it to be exclusive.

[@blitzcha0s308]

Been playing since GE Burst on the PSP. It's fun in it's own way. It has things that it excels at more than MH like the story, characters, the party system and the bullet customisation. The combat is very fast paced and flashy which I like but personal preference aside, MH is the better monster hunting game overall. Just hoping that if they release GE4 it'll be something like MH World or better.

[@dima_keller]

This is a really good game. Not as polished as MH World or smth, but still is a lot of fun. All the weapons I've tried are good so far: buster feels heavy and powerful monstrosity, long blade is an agile multi purpose tool, scythe can easily cover the pack of aragami and a heavy moon is just a pure freaking carnage I sure am waiting for GE4
