[@csg1lcolonel528]

For those of us with time in the series, it does seem simple, but many action games only require you to spam one or two buttons in no necessary order to be successful in combat. In MH, you can have up to around 5 buttons that you need to mix and match in order to get somewhere on CB, all with various timings and combinations that would only feel natural to someone coming from a fighter

[@Raptchur]

It's only people that dont play it that say that. It really is. It's a 20 minute with the training dummy, a couple hunts and you're good to go. Then it's just learning the monsters for guard points. And as for the comment above mine... yeah there are a lot of people that suck at MH that play MH. You shouldn't play that way with any weapon. SnS is much harder to master than CB

Where the fuck are Dual blades -> the most badass reveal video

[@FrogletBot]

18:30 Monster Hunter Rise isn't exactly arcade-like, but it's designed around combat and its core gameplay loop rather than immersion, as seen in Monster Hunter World. Rise features the most intuitive and advanced combat mechanics in the series, with each weapon offering three sets of two switch skills that are interchangeable, dramatically altering how the weapon performs (e.g., Surge Slash for the Great Sword). Additionally, Rise maintains the colorful and uniquely designed weapons and armor that are a hallmark of the series, embracing a more traditional "local village hunter" setting and also brings back popular monsters like Gore Magala, Valstrax, Mizutsune, and Amatsu. Rise also improves build crafting mechanics significantly, making almost all archetypes of armor and weapon builds useful and easier to obtain(ignoring Qurious Crafting) as the game features the traditional crafting of decorations and RNG charms, unlike World’s system. Moreover, Rise boasts fully traversable maps and some of the best-designed monster fights in the series, such as Primordial Malzeno. Many criticisms of Rise seem unfounded. For instance, the fact that it released on the Switch being a issue despite the franchise historically releasing on mobile consoles . Additionally, the "cartoon-like" art style is consistent with the series' previous aesthetics before World. It’s important to note that each Monster Hunter game builds upon its predecessors, striving to enhance the classic formula. If you’re trying to form an opinion on Rise, consider that those who have only played world or played a insignificant amount of time on Rise might not fully appreciate its merits. -In short Rise is 5th Gen classic monster hunter and World is the black sheep of the franchise.

[@csg1lcolonel528]

I'd argue that World is much closer to old gen mh in its continued emphasis on positioning and consequential combat. Rise differs in its comparatively non-restrictive movement and combat, and uses a wide range of invulnerable moves and counters to make good timing the main key to improvement. While the same moves and movements take away from the consequences of bad positioning, combat is still equally fulfilling thanks to resource management via wirebugs and faster-paced combat. This makes Rise an excellent gateway for action game players to get into MH, as well as a way for long-time vets to experience the series in a completely new light.

[@rattango9819]

Rise is definitely arcade-like. World couldnt keep the original more colorful designs due to needing to model a better hd model for the next gen console. That's why players were content with what they got for worlds (that doesnt mean there werent any complaints that many of the beloved monsters didnt return and the models for weapons and armors were too boring). While world removed tracking with paintballs, it replaced it with actual tracking for early game and once the player has hunt enough of a certain monster the tracking becomes automatic. Rise however had a brilliant idea of removing it entirely and have a tracking function on an always displayed minimap that shows the whole map. I think when people are complaing that rise is too arcadey its not a disservice, or a complaint towards the game but telling people how they see the game. A lot of people just felt that Worlds had a better display of hunting it self in preparation, tracking and slaying/capturing the monsters. Even during battle with a monster, monsters were something so be respected in Worlds. The camera panning into the fight between two monsters. The third one coming in bombing the whole area. You either take three of them at once, or throw dung to clear up the area. Positioning becomes more cluttered as more monsters come into the battle. In Rise, it felt like most monsters were just spongier bigger monsters as well as a weapon to be used instead of the monster that it is. Positioning wasnt that hard to do due to the forgiving nature of wirebugs and how mobile all weapons are. While most of what I stated about gameplay can't be stated for post-post-game content, but getting there certainly feels more arcadey in my eyes. MH worlds feels more closer to MH 1,2,3 to me than it is 4 and above when compared to rise. It just feels unnaturally fast. I liked both games though.

[@randommortal3383]

@@kylesmith987 honestly, glaive has severely underrated damage potential. Half of the weapon is the kinsect. Powder type kinsects that are set on auto attack paired with powder vortex can dish out obscene damage. Especially when well timed leading to dunks and enormous burst damage. Also, effectively aerial and ground movesets and fighting styles are two completely seperate things resulting in a weapon with effectively 3 parts to it. Thats my reasoning in saying they're of similiar difficulty. The glaive is no walk in the park to get the most out of, just like CB and GPs.

@@asumax8 I wish I would of played monster hunter back then. When I owned a switch I bought Gen4 Ultimate to play but never finished it. And sold my switch lol

[@vampuricknight1]

My two favorite weapons are the Switch Axe and the Lance but they require very different approaches and mentality. The Switch Axe is all about aggression, you need to play with the mentality that "you aren't trapped in the map with the monster the monster is trapped in the map with you". Its a weapon that rewards hyper aggression and learning the monsters move set so you can take advantage and be even more aggressive without getting hit. In the right hands its one of the most aggressive weapons in the game. The Lance is all about patience, you need to play with the mentality that "you near invincible and eventually... inevitably... you will slay the monster". Its a weapon that you need to learn to block often and early, you need to master your weapons limited move set, and you need to learn the monsters move set. Its probably the most defensive weapon in the game.

[@csg1lcolonel528]

I have the opposite opinion of Lance. I see it as a hyper-aggressive weapon that never needs to back off for any reason, be it danger, positioning, cooldowns, or resource management. Shrug off everything and keep poking in situations where another weapon would either need to dodge out of the way and reposition or use a long counter animation to retaliate at the cost of positioning. Even when the monster tries to flee, just hug its back legs and keep poking. Only thing that can stop a Lance main is sharpness degredation.

[@vampuricknight1]

@FullmentalAlcoomist The easiest weapon to pick up traditionally is the sword and shield. It is the only weapon that allows you to drink health potions and use items without first holstering your weapon. Sword and shield gives you the best mix of defense, dodge, and utility. Its move set is quick to pick up but mastering it requires a lot of effort. If you end up not liking it after your first few monster kills then i'd suggest going to the training area (there is usually one in your home or the hub area) were you can test out all the weapons and figure out which move set feels the most natural. I'd avoid the charge blade though... it is renown for being the most complicated weapon to use properly with several meters and vials you need to keep track of which can be difficult for a new or even intermediate player to grasp.

[@csg1lcolonel528]

Literally nothing like clutch claw at all and I have no idea where you got it from. Focus mode has attacks that can capitalize on the wounds you already inflict automatically, and actually synergizes well with each weapon's movepool. The only difference between it and a regular move thay just happens to deal bonus damage on a cooldown is the novelty of being able to aim it. No drawbacks, no need to spend 20 seconds trying to grab onto the monster and successfully use a move without getting hit, just another way for a weapon to make use of longer windows of opportunity. Helm Breaker on LS is similar: always available, but naturally becomes viable over time, and allows you to exploit big windows with a big move. You're just suffering clutch claw ptsd, and I hope you recover in time to enjoy Wilds. 😊

In response to the fluidity of motion he's talking about: the animations get better every generation and it looks they have improved again with what we've seen so far; perhaps not drastically but we can see the polish.

[@csg1lcolonel528]

I think it's less about the animations and more about the hunter's immediate range of motion. After a greatsword charge slash, for example, your only options are to continue the combo or roll in one of three directions (at least, that used to be the case). New players, especially ones coming from fast-paced action games, are usually used to omnidirectional movement at all times and aren't accustomed to having significant consequences for throwing out attacks, so being locked into a limited range of motion (especially with how slow hunters are to begin with) can definitely feel clunky. Once you do master good positioning and conservative movement in Monster Hunter, that's when you realize that the combat wouldn't be nearly as rewarding without it.

Wait noooo he missed Dual Blades !!!!!

[@artdethwish]

hey Asmon i bet nobody would notice, @7:19 this Chargeblade and Armor is probably CAPCOM's nod to MLBB making a Skin for the Hero Freya which is directly inspired by Gore Magala Chargeblade and Armorset, now this one definitely is taking inspiration from Freya's "Dark Rose" Skin, from the Roses, to the colors, the skirt and even the accents on the CB's Shield, oh and btw Olivia seems to be directly inspired by Brienne of tarth from GOT, so as one of her team members that clearly look like Poddrick

[@NinjAsylum]

9:30 Oh no. The Hammer is a VERY VERY high skill weapon. It is EXTREMELY difficult to actually use effectively.

@@Saeid-yh1erit’s harder than you might expect. It’s short and requires you to constantly go for the monsters head. You can “use” it very easily but if you are not playing well and don’t make the best of every knockout your dps is going to suck and the fight will take forever

these more accessibility things for casuals/new comers like the focus mode makes me more interested as i have never played any MH game.

[@chadwilliams5867]

rise is the only game that pissed me off. mainly because they nerfed blast and other status effects so hard. still manage to get to atleast MR100 before quitting. world is better

[@csg1lcolonel528]

Honestly this is the most based way I've seen someone hate on Rise. I love abusing statuses, so losing that in Rise was a bit of a letdown. Still inherently one of the best games I've every played due to being MH.

[@Eogard]

Of course World is better, it's a main title. Rise is a side experience in which they can try some new stuff and then implement them in the future main title aka Wilds. Still a great game overall, just a worst game than World.

[@ArborusVitae]

wdym they nerfed blast? The majority of endgame sets in Rise include blast via armor skills because it's incredibly efficient damage for the shorter hunt times in that game. Paralysis is still broken af. Poison is weak but only because monsters die too fast. Sleep is also similarly weak because you lose more time than you gain to setup wakeup for double damage bursts.

[@jaybberwocky]

7:00 - I fell in love with the Charge Blade on my first character in "World", and though I used a few different weapons over my time between that game, and "Rise", it remained my favourite. Sure; Insect Glaive/Dual Blades look fancy and chip pieces off the monsters, Hammer and great Sword are nice big-hitters. To me, nothing beats the style, grace, and utility of the Charge Blade. Tanky as fuck while staying mobile with the shield/light weapon combo because you can block everything incl. Status effects as long as you keep your stamina up and direct your blocks properly. Smooth animations that have often even allowed me to dodge attacks just by me being mid-swing and hit-boxes being nice. Let's not forget the extreme satisfaction of charging the axe for a full spinning head attack, and watching the charged explosions ripple through the monster as it collapses. People rip on Asmon for only really using Great Sword and just big-dicking it front on. For me, because I had never really used the Great Sword or the hammer initially - I found it a challenge getting used to the slow movement and subsequent vulnerability - seeing him just charge up and swing away like Jaoquin Phoenix in Signs actually inspired me to try the heavier weapons, and I learnt to enjoy them. Don't like the way he plays? Why are watching him? Just play the game yourself, dummies :)

[@kewa_design]

True

[@galakstiv]

I love the Charge Blade just for the fact you already have 2 very different weapon in one. People keeps saying that it is an expert weapon, but that's only true if you want to use all the extra features like instant block, etc. Using the very swift sword & shield + the heavy & brutal axe is quite simple, and the only thing is to remember to discharge the energy into phials ... which become almost automatic after a couple of hour (you tend to charge de phial even if there is nothing to charge). And once you're confortable with the main features, you wan look into charging the blade (never have to care about sharpening your weapon anymore), position where the instant block is avaible, etc.

[@Sebs-FFXIV]

kind of sad but completely understandable why people call SnS a "boring weapon", it looks really boring on the outside, just a shortsword and a shield, but when you actually use it properly oh man its so good, you can build it for ANYTHING, support SnS? you got it, element damage? oh yeah, raw damage? of course, need stuns? i got you bro. its so flexible and so satisfying to actually use, i LOVED base world SnS (didnt like perfect rush being added and the damage meta becoming too insane so kind of lost interest after that) and i cannot wait to play it more, loved doing SOS missions using support status SnS, also behemoth was so fun to do as support!

[@bleachIchigo8]

I started world with the CB and felt off. I tried SnS and learned the combos, and I ran through the game with pure enjoyment. Super underrated weapon.

Asmon really just be yapping and not knowing anything💀they removed the clutch claw tenderize mechanic for focus mode. I think this will be harder simply cause they are moving and we don’t know how fast monsters will be, at least clutch claw you can cling on and do it fast and done. Idk what asmon be talking about

[@csg1lcolonel528]

"Fast and done" like you don't automatically tenderize the monster for free now. Also, clutch claw finishers seem relatively weak compared to focus mode attacks, so having to spend time clutching to a monster and praying you don't get flung off just so you can wound a part is in no way easier or better than a big-damage move that'll likely be your best option during large windows anyway.

Lance is the most badass weapon. What can possibly be cooler than a giant fucking monster throwing hands at you with all his force just to you to be like 🛡🗿 It's a different kind of satisfaction when you see your group being destroyed by an attack and you just face tank it like nothing when it's on you

[@csg1lcolonel528]

Wish we get more breath attacks like Fatty's cone of doom in Iceborne. Nothing beat throwing myself between a wall of fire and a teammate and both of us walking out unscathed.

[@danielmayer6956]

The insect glaive became my favorite weapon the moment i used it. It's just too much fun, it's manuverability is unmatched, and while the insect doesn't do much dmg it can heal you, taunt the enemy, sever and break parts, and grants various buffs for you and debuffs enemies. If you're a tactical player you owe it to yourself to explore the glaive's greatness

[@KJ_live60]

As a physician with a 200 IQ, it's cute seeing people try to understand the Charge Blade in a 1-minute video.

[@snazzydrew]

Charge Blade is not a complex weapon.

[@joemama114]

The focus mode actually looks neat, like it will open up some of the team play when grouping up. Anyone can "wound" a monster seemingly anywhere if they hit that spot enough times. Focus mode attacks deal better damage to those wounds and also weak spots. For example a team could hit the tail a lot and then have a great sword user try and cut it off by hitting several wounds all in one go.

[@Chakeis]

It's pretty funny when someone says "I played this a lot" and shows 150 hours in a MH game

[@FIFAFootballer14]

Sword and Board actually looks amazing compared to before. Looks like it has a counter, and a lot of different situational follow up attacks. Seems like it will be a very flexible weapon with an answer to every attack. I'm a Hammer main, but I'm considering Glaive or SNS for 2nd weapon

[@ZhuRan1239]

As an OG MH player from the PS2 era, the accessibility for new players is great...but it also opens up more issues between veterans and new players because of the move towards casuals. In the originals you couldn't move and use items, you didn't have mounts, hunts were harder generally outside of that etc. and World/Icebourne and Rise have made the series quite casual and easy in comparison. All of that said, I don't see it as an issue because I still play mainly solo - and when I play with people it's my friend's. What I think MH and Capcom can do to combat the casual comments and such is to find a good balance between the new casualness with extremely difficult monsters and battles.

[@CuriosityMisledMe]

I'm just tired of seeing Gen 5 G-Rank players be more clueless than Low Rank players from every Gen before. There's clearly an issue with players being able to brute force progression and not learn anything.

[@Meowdy-do]

While it's true that it's kind of boring, Sword and Shield will always be my favourite weapon because it saved me from all the unnecessary crap the devs added into the old games. And I find it really funny that it's the only weapon that doesn't need an update since the first Monster Hunter game.

[@VodKaSlam]

Bro... Monster Hunter is Capcoms most successful and popular franchise in the world. It does not need to be casual at all. Games should not be made for everyone or it'll be a game for no one.

[@Monstahpanda]

Street fighter 😂

[@CuriosityMisledMe]

Already too late. The streamlining really increased with Gen 5's release. And since MH's current fanbase majority consists of new players who came in with Gen 5, they think that this streamlined state is normal. They consider the more in-depth mechanics of previous titles to be a negative thing.

[@RazielTheUnborn]

​@@MonstahpandaMonster Hunter sells more than Street Fighter. Or do you mean it was turned mainstream and it ain't gone well?

Knowing recent capcom game design, focus mode will be used by players of all skill levels. Capcom is good at making changes that I would call “Layered accessibility” easy to use with a high skill ceiling or can outright serve a separate purpose than what is originally presented

[@NamesJustE]

You're oversimplifying the use of focus mode greatly. It's not just an accessibility feature for new players, but a blend of some new and past sytems without being clunky. It has so much baked into it like stance changes, mobility options, animation lock workarounds and tenderizing support. All on top of the increased utility that the enhanced aiming provides. You might not use it, I've seen how little you tenderized and tackled in World, and to each their own but I feel high level players will definitely be taking advantage of this in Wilds.

[@could9c]

16:26 Now that you can use weapons while on a mount, all our dreams of being knights come true when using a Lance on a mount.

Looks like they tried finding a middle ground between world and rise gameplay with this, leaning more towards world which is great!

[@OddOtter707]

As a Light Bowgun main, all the ammo is necessary. People didn't know that you can be a healer with the healing ammo. Cast status effects like crazy as well as stun the monsters in some cases. Forgot which game it was but they had to nerf one of the ammo due to the knockback it had. It caused knockback on team as well as monsters.

Charge blade is definitely one of the most complex weapons to master, especially guard points, which are invisible frames when you’re switching from your sword and shield to ax, you can tank ridiculous amounts of damage, but the timing has to be spot on top of that you’re managing the energy. It’s constantly resource management putting that energy into the shield the sword it’s insanely fun to use it
