@@Jarubimba At the end of HR (after Xeno) you start the quest just like the Witcher crossover or the one that activates HR Deviljho by talking to NPCs in Astera, in this case the Serious Handler at the Tradeyard. It is easily missed because MR becomes available at the same time, but not as bad as base Rise endgame where if you have Sunbreak you'll probably just get several levels into MR before beating HR because it's less tedious than grinding Hunter Rank.

[@Bison-Storytime]

absolutely!! and its perfectly understandable how rise could have suffered from that, and I do think its a good game overall too. however, having a valid reason for why a game has problems does not change the fact that the game has problems, and in my own personal opinion, more problems than world to me, thats a similar argument to saying that astro boy or dragonball are must see anime simply because they are influential, when they are FAR from perfect shows that don't hold up super well to todays standards and while I do think sunbreak was a VAST improvement to rise by an exponential margin, I still have issues with it that prevent me from enjoying it as much as even base world

MHW while more immersive and way more beatiful just lacks a lot in terms of the combat compared to rise (inputs are delayed, no customizaition on moves, no aerial options except for IG). I really hope they step that up in wilds next year.

[@Bison-Storytime]

I mean let's not pretend that rise has perfect combat either, wyvern riding in particular stopped fights, and especially fights with teammates completely in it's tracks, and ruined any tension from invaders and other monsters interrupting. Wyvern riding to me is worse than any individual issue world has with it's combat Also rise has an issue where every weapon felt samey since they slapped counters on all of them, and hunting horn (my main) was absolutely GUTTED I will agree however that it was nice having more aerial options than ever, and the customization was nice to have

[@uSil031]

@@Bison-Storytime wyvern riding is garbage and has to go i agree. HH rework was also not it, true. I don't root for counters on every weapon. There are some that could use it, but it has to be harder / more resource intense. The wirebugs were nice for recovery but not very imersive. Also way too available. But having fighting styles to choose and switching between them (red/blue scroll) was awesome. The increased fight speed in general was great. P. Malzeno is such a fantastic fight. No monster in MHW gets close imo but that's subjective. Tldr: -no wyvern riding -not a counter for every weapontype and more skill / resource management to use it - reverse HH - a better, more immersive and nerfed solution to wirebugs. Or compleatly remove it maybe

[@Bison-Storytime]

@@uSil031 scrolls were indeed awesome. Loved that mechanic The speed is def a personal preference. Rise felt smooth and fast, but lacked a lot of impact on its hits and I never felt satisfied doing big hits The old games have A TON OF IMPACT when you hit things, but it's too far in the other direction where it's obviously clunky and not in a good way For me personally world is a happy medium where combat feels smooth and fluid, but there's still a ton of weight and impact behind hits, it feels kinda similar to elden ring to me in regards to speed to weight ratio I always do say however that except for wyvern riding and weapon imbalance and having too many counters, the raw mechanical combat of rise is the thing it really has going for it. But in general, and especially as a hunting horn main, I just can't enjoy it as much as world

World was a modernized version of previous games, Rise on the other hand is a mish mash of RPG games put together.

[@sinistermaker9283]

World is the highest point of the monster hunter games. They need to stop messing around with rise and wilds and just make world 2 there are some tweaks that could be made to the ui but other than that world is near perfection

[@Bison-Storytime]

I agree that world is a masterpiece and the highest point in the series so far, but I heavily disagree that rise and wilds should just be world 2. Being experimental and trying new things is a huge part of monster hunters identity. They tried some stuff with rise, some of it worked, some of it didn't, but it turned out a decent game (not as good as world, but still good) and especially as the portable title it's SUPPOSED to be more experimental Wilds is clearly taking more inspiration from world than rise, which I prefer, but I don't want world 2 and I'm going to embrace all the new stuff wilds is going to bring, regardless of if it works or not!

[@Bison-Storytime]

yo honestly, i might use this as a video script. i wasn't planning on writing anything this long, but once i had the idea partway through of using this as a script i just kept going and it got really long lol. sorry in advance and i understand if you dont wanna read all this XD I'm running on the assumption this was intended to be a reply to my reply in the pinned comment and this whole comment is running off that assumption. I like replying and discussing stuff like this and find it entertaining and would like to provide my counterargument I get that some people like the sunbreak story, though me and anthony have quite a different perspective on it firstly, we can all agree that the base rise story sucked dick right? at least in comparison to world, iceborne, and sunbreak. like i don't have to elaborate on that and can spend my time talking about the sunbreak expansion? great thanks so yes, the sunbreak expansion storyline is A HUUUUUUGGGEE improvement over the base game, especially with more cutscenes and direct clear actions leading from one beat to the other, and there are a lot more characters too. however, I have 2 major issues with the story in sunbreak(i can't speak for anthony in regards to comparing it to world as he hasn't completed world yet, but we HAVE talked about his thoughts on the sunbreak story together and his ideas on some of its shortcomings) world's story followed the mystery of the elder crossing and after the zorah incident and became the much bigger mystery of what was DIFFERENT about this elder crossing and what caused zorah to abandon the vale and caused nergigante to migrate to the recess iceborne was solving the mystery of the legiana migration, and became a much bigger mystery related to why monsters were migrating across the continent as a whole, and what caused velkhana's aggitation. sunbreak's story followed the mystery of the crater and how malzeno could have possibly made it, as well as it's relation to qurio and how they effect monsters. on paper, the quality of these storyline's are all pretty comparable in quality and plot twists, as well as an evolving mystery based on the MH univers's speculative ecology. but just because the story itself is good doesn't necessarily mean it's been presented well, and I think the first big issue has to do with the key quest system. 1. Key quests I know the key quest system has been in pretty much every single monster hunter game EXCEPT for world, and a lot of the older monster hunter games aren't negatively effected by it, but I think it lends itself poorly to telling the stories that the 5th gen games have tried to go for, because it restricts the story to only having 1 storybeat every 4-6 key quests, and only having a quarter as many storybeats in a given story and absolutely KILLS the pace. the cutscens after the first urgent quest with crabby boy where you get ambushed by lunagaron was a genuine highlight of our sunbreak playthrough. it was more storytelling than we got in the entirety of the base game practically. however, those urgent quest cutscenes started losing A LOT of meaning when they are followed by 4 keyquests of monster's we've already killed before we can reach the next storybeat. by contrast, base world was EXCEPTIONALLY good at telling it's story and was mostly marred by a lack of quality of life on SECOND PLAYTHROUGHS due to a lack of skippable cutscenes because they had a set of campaign quests that you could do consecutively, and go farm optional quests as you saw fit. they also felt better to do since you only did a quest when you WANTED to do it. rise had a issue where you did the dango sidequests, farmed out the gear you wanted, got all ready for the next urgent quest, and... oops, looks like you have to kill 3 more unrelated monsters as homework and turn it in before you're allowed to progress the story world also had you kill most of the cast of the game in a similar way, taking on most of the 3 stars before you get to the 4 stars, ect. however it didn't FEEL like homework because they were directly incorporated INTO the story. sunbreak definetely had it better than rise just due to having storybeats be halfway through each set of keyquests instead of doing all of them at once before you get one, but it still suffers. for example lets compare the 3 and 4 star questline of world (and not even the coral highland and rotten vale parts of 4, just until zorah because i am going easy on rise) to one of the most praised questlines of rise, the 4,5 and 6 star part of sunbreak. in sunbreak, you go to hunt a lunagaron because... its in the way. you kill it, and on your way back are ambushed by malzeno. the qurio absorb blood from the lunagaron, and fiorane fights malzeno. she gets stabbed and sustains a serious injury we need a doctor to fix. then we do 3 key quests to kill time, then we find the doctor. then we do 3 key quests to kill time, then bahari did some research on the qurio and figured out where malzeno is, fiorane is better, and we go kill malzeno. then we realize we're missing something about the qurio and need to keep researching it. so we do 3 key quests to kill time, then we have to kill shigaru magala... because he's there. then we do 3 more key quests and get to THE SINGLE BEST QUEST IN THE ENTIRE STORY, where the map is devoid of life and we fight a jacked lunagaron again surounded by no plant or endemic life, and a whole bunch of dead large monsters. (this is my and anthony's favorite part of the game and we wish more quests changed up the formula or had us do something other than just hunt a monster. he also specifically said he wished there was more enviromental interaction throughout the rest of the game so that the difference could be seen more starkly). then we witness the qurio acting strangely and gathering around gaismagorm, who is now out of hiding because we killed his rival malzeno, and we go and kill him. this takes roughly 15 quests AT A MINIMUM in world, we fight a pukei pukei so that the slag can be researched safely by the commision without risk to the researchers so we can track zorah. once we've done that we are told we are being put in charge of the wildspire waste investigation, and there has been another track sighted there, but we need to escort researchers there. so we defend a convoy on a trek across the new map, fight off a rathion on the way, and when we reach there discover a hostile and territorial barroth we need to kill. while the research ocurs after our hunt we meet some dude who just says "see you in the finalie" and fuck off (this beat is easily the low of the game's story for me). then we find out one of the researchers got seperated from the convoy and needs rescuing. on our way to find him, we discover the first hint of nergigante, and the researcher is petrified of him. a jyurotodus complicates the rescue and needs to die. after all this, we find out we've collected enough tracks to figure out that zorah is going to the great ravine, and we are about to pull a massive operation. the plans are layed out for us, but the anjanath that WE'VE SEEN AND HAD INTERUPT OUR HUNTS ON MULTIPLE OCASIONS BY THIS POINT is concerning the researchers because he might interupt things and we don't want to fight on 2 fronts (which is totally believable because we've seen it first hand) and we are tasked with taking it down. the botanist says before we do so, he has something in mind that might help us in the fight. he gives us the ghille mantle and insists we try out the tool against tobi as a practice run and so that he can replicate our plants in the future, so we go kill tobi. then FINALLY comes the showdown with anja, which has been built up to since before we even got our hands on a weapon, and take it down so it can't interupt the opperation. then we fight zorah, but are interupted by nergigante and must repel him. the huntsman fights it, and everyone discovers nergi has insane regenerative properties. he leaves, but its too late and zorah breaks through, disapearing once again and raising the question of why nergigante was there. this takes ONLY 6 QUESTS AT A MINIMUM and so much more happened that we care about (next segment is just my own personal take since anthony hasn't seen enough to have an opinion here) regarding the characters, just because they have names doesn't make them interesting. their whole personalities boil down to "insert anime trope here" in risebreak, which is fine when it's the side characters, but not the main cast!! bahari is like the only interesting character in the entire game. everyone else is "im a serious knight character" or "i'm the commander from world but with less to do, but its okay because i have name now" in fact, that's a GREAT example. the commander was a first fleet member, a fleet made of high spec individuals to lay the foundations for future fleets. he takes his job seriously and has a no nonsense attitude, and commands respect and loyalty to all who work under him. he also likes dragonators. this is about all we get for galleus. but the commander also raised a family in the new world and his the grandfather of the field team leader, who was born in the new world and has never been to the old. during the iceborne story, he gives control of the new base to his grandson to take control, as a learning experience and show of trust. but when help is needed he's willing to step in and take command if something seems out of his grandsons control. he also has a visable relationship and is visably more casual with other members of the first fleet compared to us or anyone else in the game. THATS SO MUCH MORE CHARACTERIZATION!!! people praise rise for naming the characters, but it doesn't matter if you don't do more than the bare minimum of CHARACTERIZING the characters

[@spacenai4461]

To give the credit where its due. World is the first game in the franchise that attempted to tell "direct" story, in older gen the story is just sit in the background. I still think MHW:I story as a whole is mediocore at best but hey, it probably will set a standard for 6th gen, and I also don't think story should be a main focus of MH game, if its good then its a nice bonus.

@@Bison-Storytime I DEFINITELY disagree on worlds pacing being better than sunbreak but I think that’s just a difference in what we look for in games so I won’t focus on that. but u severely underplayed admiral galleus he commands respect from is subordinates but also cares for them deeply he also used to live in the citadel which was destroyed by Malzeno and gaismagorm which immediately gives him a strong motivation and connection to the story which makes his battle against gaismagorm even more satisfying as he is literally blowing up the thing that caused him so much pain and destroyed his home he also believes that self sacrifice is foolish because of his experiences. But my biggest problem is worlds story how non important the thing we are trying to stop felt like I was never scared of the elder crossing or the stuff shara would do however gaismagorm even after it’s death caused a whole plague with the Quiro still destroying the land and the monsters there were so many cutscenes and quests showing how devastating the quiro can be on the ecosystem so they actively felt like a problem.
