"games should be intuitive", a great viewpoint for gaming design. this is hindered by the sad fact the average entry level gamer in 2024 is handicapped by a lack of critical reasoning skills & common sense being bred out of them.

[@translatedbird]

If you've watched videos of people's first video game in their whole life, such as "my wife plays" or similar, there is a striking amount of game knowledge that you retain from previous video games, that is carried over to the new game and gives you an edge in understanding the new game mechanics or adapting to the existing, similar mechanics and controls. But despite that, I will agree with you because of the mobile platform. Having a mobile game ported to PC and the combat being designed to work on a phone, DEFINITELY hinders the potential of the game to a ridiculous degree.

​@@nitl3gxnd268 No, they received negative feedback of the clutch claw. I also think it destroyed fluent gameplay. With the amount the monster moved back after a stagger you were FORCED to use the clutch claw to make the stagger worth something. I would rather have customized ability sets back, like in XX

[@Garresh1]

@bubeable Yeah as flashy as the clutch claw was it really changed the game in a terrible way. Because of the amount of HP bloat in Iceborne, you were forced to tenderize and wall slam constantly to increase damage. Which meant that the enemy was always enraged. Which meant it became less "strategic" in a sense of striking when there were openings and more about breaking their legs so that they were crippled. I know some people liked it, but it felt so gimmicky to me. Like Barrioth was incredibly frustrating if you didn't break his legs, but fairly trivial if you did. And Tenderize meant you were *forced* to focus one point. It just never felt good to play like that. But I was a hunting horn main who liked bonking heads and even played it in solo so maybe my experience was unusual. But playing a low damage weapon in Iceborne felt way less fun even if the monster design was overall better.

Something bothers me about him equating these games to MMOs. They're not perpetually online, they're not consistently monetized (usually just one, maybe two big expansions/dlcs), and they usually have small, peer-to-peer lobbies/instances, instead of 100s of players in the same room/server. I reject the notion that it's suddenly MMO adjacent, just because it's open-world. Dark Souls has always had the invader system. It's still present in Elden Ring. Not much has changed, aside from the ability to opt out of being invaded while also having other online features like messages active. Monster Hunter has multiplayer as far back as I know of, and I imagine it'll work nearly the same in this game. I.E. you're not gonna have 100 hunters spawn over the nearby hill, and help you beat a monster to death in seconds. It's gonna be 4 people max teams, as per standard. That's just not an MMO. The argument itself is just a grasp at days gone by.

[@Zood94]

Newcomers who want more from MHW don't really understand how Monster Hunter games evolve. They've always evolved slowly, experimenting a bit from game to game. MH World is the biggest leap in MH games in decades, so they're going to stick with it for a while to see what works and what doesn't. MH Rise is clearly an experiment; they brought some good mechanics from it and made it work in MHW because people really like the MHW aesthetics and how the environment works in MHW compared to MH Rise.

Clearly Asmon never played Monster hunter Rise. My one issue with switching weapons on the fly is how will that work with armor sets?

[@CuriosityMisledMe]

I'm confused by his view that streamlining/QoL is what makes a game a Magnum Opus of the series. You're basically just taking a burger and removing half the ingredients so people with small mouths can bite it. Sure you'll get more people to eat it; but the burger just ends up dropping from a 10/10 to a 6/10 for everyone else.

[@moldyshishkabob]

@@CuriosityMisledMe I agree generally with the idea of streamlining removing charm, but even as someone who absolutely adores the old Monster Hunter games, I wouldn't say it's a "10/10 to a 6/10". At best, it's a "9/10 to a 9/10 but with different reasons". At worst, it's a "9/10 to a 8/10 because I, personally, got used to the jank and appreciated it rather than whining about it". Monster Hunter absolutely has improvements it can and should make. We might not agree with all of them, but that's why it iterates continually. Slinger was "meh" in World basegame so they upgraded it with the Clutch Claw in Iceborne to make it more useful. When it turned out that it overcentralized the gameplay loop, they removed it in Wilds and revamped the "wounding" mechanic. Though it remains to be seen, I am also guessing that they took notes (as they have done in the past) from Rise to include various QoL movement features without making them as absurd. Or maybe they're more absurd, who knows? At the end of the day, if I really want to eat my less streamlined burger, I'll just go back to older games anyway like I'm currently doing.

[@saltycarl6581]

@@CuriosityMisledMe Man i was shocked when i first played world, the Rathian had the same basic attacks from the PSP games but i had so many tools to dumpster it. I have a feeling this game will be super easy like world was and the end game is just avoiding one shots, hope im dead wrong though.

[@CuriosityMisledMe]

@@moldyshishkabob The 10/10 to 6/10 was just a random example. If I were to rate the mainline games at the times of release, it would be MH at a 6/10, MH2 at an 8/10, MH3 at a 7/10, MH4 at an 8/10, MHG at a 6/10, and MHW at a 7/10. I would've put MHW at a 9/10 if they didn't streamline a lot of the series' aspects. Outside of that I'd say the game pretty much mastered the weight and movement of what Modern Monster Hunter should be.

I love how everything Asmon is talking up stuff that was already in World. The seikret is just the same as the mounts you'd call. they automatically took you to the monster you pinned and could use items, loot and, sharpen weapons atop them. Wounds are are just weak spots from clutch clawing. focus attacks are new and so is focus mode so that cool.

somewhat seems like they added focus mode as a way to slow down the combat. unlike in world and rise where dps was being highly focused on, with new machanics that sort of slow down the combat but increase the damage done, they strike a balance between "got to go fast" and "this is a hunting game with big monsters".
