Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

[@hennyzhi2261]

Your first video helped to convince some of my friends to give Monster Hunter a shot and I'm glad your doing a follow up! Sunbreak has been amazing so far and it makes me really appreciate the A or B team setup the devs have used since they started doing the portable games; you get the best of both worlds of having the space to expand what Monster Hunter means without getting lost from what it started as. And even then you get some synergistic development where things done by the console developers influence the portable devs and vice verse. Gunlance was a unique one-off weapon in the lance tree back in MH1, and similarly so was Longsword within the Greatsword category. Eventually they became their own weapon types in, and I might be misremembering, MHF2 and MHTri respectively. I have high hopes for the future because the method of growing the franchise has proven over the titles to be the correct one.

[@KenjiTheSnek]

I think I do agree with the idea that Monster Hunter is evolving. But, on the flipside, I think the idea that people are only complaining about the new style of combat because of some nostalgia-induced rose-tinted glasses is a bit dismissive of a valid argument. Going back to older games definitely feels *to me* like a different game. I can see why people like the new games, but I do still appreciate and miss the slower pace of the older games. I absolutely love that Capcom is pushing to make their game more accessible and much less clunky, but I think doing so by removing aspects of the game isn't the best way to go about it, despite it being a valid and correct option. The old Pokke farm was a nice relaxing break area to go to, but I will admit I wish it wasn't always necessary to go there after every hunt. I would like to see the next game hopefully strike a better balance between this faster pace and the things that made the old "clunky" mechanics charming in their own way. Anyway, lil rant over. Amazing video as always. Keep it up!

[@EnraiChannel]

Yeah I have to agree. I like both the new style and the old style, but some weapons just felt better with the older style. GS being hit and run weapon, and HBG having siege mode, for example. I just can't find GS fun since world, and HBG is just slower LBG now. But on the other hand SA and DB (among others) are so improved from the old styles. SA actually has morphing combos and DB is more than drinking dash juice and spamming demon dance.

[@themeekkat]

I started with Worldborne then played Sunrise. Like you, I couldn't look back. Though for ME, Worldborne had a lot of stuff that just is unfun. Like it wanted to waste my time, RNG of decos(could never get what I wanted), grinding lands, me finding a monster only for it to roar the moment I latch on then roll away to the other side of the map 😑. (Like you, I used the mounts to try to circumvent this but...world likes to waste your time. They have to roar, sniff, look around, move 10 feet, sniff, then move again. Sometimes taking the long way) I love that SunRise gives multiple options and different styles of play. Sometimes I use wire bugs. Sometimes I'll do a whole hunt without them. (I'm surprised people don't try this. You don't have to use the bug moves. It's not like you are punished via hitzones for not using it like a certain grappling hook....Personally never use them with the greatsword as I find the weapon itself already fun evem without the bugs.) Sometimes I'll use dodge bolt over charge bolt. Sometimes I'll get spirit berbs or not (world maxed at 200 hp, Rise lets you max at 250. There's a dango food skill that even lets your berbs activate 3 times in a row and higher levels if you don't like getting them. With it you can max very easily just on your way to the monster) Sunrise is also the game that encouraged me to try different weapons. The arena modes with select weapons and builds were really fun. Never would have picked up hammer from heavy bowgun and bow had that not existed! Worldborne never encouraged that for me. Too much grind and risk. (Rise basically had 0 risk.) Edit: (there's also the fact that I prefer to play these games alone than with people. Worldborne kinda punishes you for that in ways like clutch claw, safi etc. Sunbreak gives the optional followers to help out. I love them so much. Especially since they are characters in the story. But again....optional! Also like Hazard quests. They are optional too but are great if you just want a harder challenge. Speaking of....try fighting hazard Monsters with only 150 hp. World Maxes at 200 rise 250....but try Rise with 150. Then try say Hazard Malzeno at 150, no wirebugs! You can still beat him if you are good enough, but you always have the OPTION of making it easier for yourself. Sunrise is big on making the difficulty optional through im game means. Spirit birds, wirebugs, etc.)

post sunbreak and id like to say its definitely not easier, the skill ceiling is ridiculous. only low rank was easy but as soon as High and Master rank came all the so called "op maneuverability" was balanced out by the cracked out sunbreak monsters. They even have set ups that trick you into wire falling out after getting hit, only to get wrecked after. Average Hr and Mr quests in world arent like this at all and I personally find it more comfortably paced. Of course world has hard monsters as well but in general terms its actually not as high octane as rise break is. Edit: the special investigations are unnecessarily focus oriented, its hard to keep up. Especially considering how large the health pools are, by the time my mind gets exhausted thats when I start fainting. Its a real mental endurance battle i tell ya and it only gets worse when you don't know the SP move sets a individual monster has.

[@KingWalrus179]

I know at this point the vid is a year and a half old but Jesus fucking Christ it is so refreshing stepping out of the World/Iceborne circlejerk and stumbling on a vid that actually appreciates that Rise doesn't want to just be more of the same. The current "popular" opinion that Rise was a filler game or a step backwards for the series has always rubbed me the wrong way. Does the game look as pretty as World? Fuck no but at the same time why does that shit matter so much when the core of the series has always been function over form. While the faster and more action oriented combat is a subjective point as to whether it's better or worse than the more methodical combat of previous titles, to just dismiss it outright after finishing low rank and calling the game "too easy" is entirely disingenuous and is in my opinion people just looking for things to dislike because we didn't get World 2. While I do agree that base Rise was rough around the edges (especially with the elders having to be patched after the fact due to the pandemic) I think Sunbreak more than made up for those shortcomings much in the same way that I feel Iceborne elevated base world from flying wyvern hunt simulator into the masterpiece it is now. The games definitely both have their pros and cons and having a preference is completely understandable due to just how different they feel to play, but to just say Rise had nothing to offer the series and write it off as a failure is so sad to me because all that does is divide a community that used to be known for our unity and collective love for a series we all just want to see improve and succeed. If you're reading this comment thanks a ton for making this video and focusing on the positive aspects of the game, I see far too few people talk about just how fun this game really is, and honestly that's all that should matter at the end of the day when playing a video game.

[@burritoeltaco]

[@krombopulosmichael2934]

I only have 2 real issue with this game. 1. Wyvern riding is terrible it used to straight up break the flow of the hunt completely but thankfully Sunbreak made it optional but other than that it straight up nuked monster on monster interaction. Monsters just show up roar then leave or show up hit the monster once making them wyvern ride able then leave. Bazelgeuse basically doesn't have a personality anymore because of this. 2. I liked worlds environments more and how the monsters would interact with it, the worlds just felt more alive and a lot less gamey. The early game was also a bit of a snooze fest in base rise, I don't like being forced to fight 5 monsters of the same difficulty for until the next star level, I feel like world actually had a decent difficulty curve, like Anjanath being a wall for early players and he's like the 4th or 5th fight. Sunbreak fixed most of my problems with this game though beyond the initial 2. The combat is addicting as fuck. I love all the new options they gave us, the monster roster is overall pretty solid, gambling for charms is pretty fire to me. I'm very satisfied with my purchase overall. Gonna send this video to some of my friends and try to sell em on Rise lol.

[@ghostskullromero8643]

Duck welcome back my duck man

[@derpmacdiggings1265]

I very much just wish that the game was less reliant on counter abilities and had the same environmental interactions that world had. The areas in Rise look good, but feel barren compared to World/Iceborne, similarly the monsters feel less like monsters with their own lives and more like things you just hit. World made them feel like actual creatures since they didn't just charge you immediately on sight (unless it's an aggressive type of monster). The interactions between monsters were more interesting rather than just luring one to another and getting a wyvern ride, people complain about clutch claw (rightfully so) but the wyvern riding loop in hunts is generally worse). The combat in Rise feels impactful and I think that's the best thing to focus on in these games, but the little details around that really take away from the experience when neglected for the sake of only the combat.

New hunting horn might have pulled in more numbers but I don’t think any of them are lasting fans and hey I don’t see lance needing a rework. Can’t remember the last time I used a blue note on a weapon that’s supposed to be about making songs with your attacks. Echo mode also isn’t really old hunting horn.

[@lasagesseenboite7268]

Oh my god, this is so true. I dropped MhRise really early just because i couldn't play any other weapon than HH and HH felt dreadful to play. On a side note, I really want to play the game again but I don't know if things have changed with sunbreak or if maybe I should just try to play another weapon because I know Rise is amazing. As a iceborne HH lover, did you keep playin HH or someth else?

[@Red_Fortunately]

SO happy to see this content back :) Watched the iceborne video over and over again, and happy to see ive got even more stuff to show people. Keep it up!

6:28 This statement is objectively false. I started with Tri so I can confidently say base Rise is significantly easier than base World since World wasn't my first game. The "YoUr FiRSt mOnStEr HuNteR Is AlWaYs tHe hArDesT" argument is getting old. Have anyone who played Rise first go back and play 4U and ask them if they think it's easier. I didn't get significantly better moving from World to Rise the game just got easier. Saying base World's difficulty was a joke is funny considering how many people couldn't get past tempered Kirin. Nothing in Base Rise did that. I also never carted in the entirety of low rank in Rise but I did in low rank World despite years of experience playing these games. And difficulty has always been a significant part of the series' identity because the difficulty encourages people to actually learn the nuances of the monsters in order to beat them which brings out each monster's unique identity. You don't get that experience when everything feels like just a punching bag. Who cares if I didn't bother to learn a monster's patterns? I can just wirefall away and heal back to full before the monster can capitalize on it's damage. The games weren't originally designed to let you approach them in such a lax manner (I have a quote from Ryozo that reinforces this) but that's what base Rise did.

[@CreamIc7]

Finally somebody who looks at ruse for what it is

[@madmannnn12]

Haven’t been watching you for a bit, and missed your uploads, but heard about what happened recently, and so glad to see you’re here again! What a great day to see one of my fav KZbinrs here again! Don’t know why I didn’t sub sooner, but I did now!

[@20thcentury_toy]

What happened?

[@BitTrippin]

Only thing I'll disagree with is your point about hunting horn being an example of weapons being improved. Rise's hunting horn is incredibly mindless, at least when it comes to the song system.

[@lasagesseenboite7268]

Same my guy, I dropped Rise just because of HH, being my only loved weapon. Did anything change with sunbreak or is it the same, because I really want to get into Rise again but I don't want to have that same disappointment.

[@ShiftK]

The duck is back baby! 🦆

[@tahaelhour690]

I used to hate on rise until I actually played the damn thing, fixed many glaring issues with world like roster and skeleton variety, also weapon upgrades are not just fur slapped on the same design thank goodness. There are issues with rise but I feel like those games compliment each other. You miss something one game did then go back to it until you miss something the other one did right then you go to that one.

[@Kyle-cw2in]

OMFG YES I thought you weren't going to cover it after sunbreak came out this long but holy am I ready for it

[@gbtygfvyg]

Echo mode for hunting horn isn't even remotely close to old hunting horn in playstyle. Hell I'd argue Rise hunting horn was just simplified way too severely from older titles, it's just a completely different weapon now. I get why they did it, old hunting horn with this faster paced gameplay would not work well, it just sucks that they made a difficult to master weapon into a braindead one.

[@FastBoyBrax]

Amen.

[@aplomino9119]

Yeah this is honestly the only reason I prefer Iceborne to Sunbreak. One of the hardest weapons to master that relied on superior positioning and heavy hitting attacks became an ez pz fast attacking weapon. I get the appeal but that's not what the weapon is about.

[@marcusaaronliaogo9158]

Tbh, rise hh is not bad lol.

[@raigrex8362]

The only thing that is braindead here is this take

[@FastBoyBrax]

@@marcusaaronliaogo9158 It has the depth of a kiddy pool now. Just loop 2 different combos until the monster falls over.

[@georgschindlauer]

How to monster hunter world is the best video i ever saw. Still giving me goosebumps when i am watching it. Cant wait to watch this banger

[@mr.voidroy6869]

I also disagree with your elden ring take. Yes it's open world but it's a masterpiece in level design. Imo better than dark souls. It's harder to design an open world game and give it the depth of souls level design. And they do pull it off. The game has lanes but of exploration. And there is a flow to it.

[@strife9592]

Literally cried happy tears man. Glad you're doing better.

[@Rathadude]

8:29 also objectively false. It's actually taken away a lot of the core ideas. Like tracking for instance. The stuff you're complaining about like paintballs and scout flies were always intended to be core aspects of the series. These games aren't supposed to be mindless hacknslash games. They're supposed to be hunting simulators that create the feeling like you're actually immersed in the World. Things like wire bugs or dashing around on Palamutes are there to make you rush past everything and push you to just kill the monster as quickly as possible rather than engaging with the environment. World was an example of revamping old aspects. It turned tracking from something that felt like a chore and turned it into something more immersive and fluid by making us actually have to look for footprints (you know kinda like what you would actually be doing if you were a hunter.) Rise didn't try to improve further on the system (not saying it was perfect) and instead just removed it entirely by giving you an owl that magically communicates to you the location of monsters. Temperature management is another thing. I'm not saying cold and hot drinks are the most engaging mechanics but they're there to give the volcano and snow maps more individuality and again immersion. Rather than try to come up with a creative way to reimagine that mechanic like what World did for tracking Rise just again removed it. That fact that people like you actually praise such removals is honestly disheartening and makes me wonder if Monster Hunter is actually what you want to play and not something else. Since getting to the monster is so tedious why not just put everything in an arena then and just drop us in there with the monster? Why have sharpening anymore? It's just a tedious and clunky gameplay mechanic right? All I want is hit big monster with big stick like I can do in almost any other fantasy game am I right?

[@Rathadude]

@Júsep - Monster Hunter Stories Subs But the point was the first time you encountered a monster had to actually find tracks which plenty of people enjoyed.

[@robertomacetti7069]

about not being able to rolling backwards in older games when that was announced in world my reaction was "wait... we can't? how did i never noticed"

[@hezakighamorgan9974]

I love how every time MH adds a new game play improvement or QoL improvement, everyone slams it based on that alone. Like, my gamer, if you want slow clunky ass water levels, there's already a game with that out there. Let me do my impression of an Attack on Titan character and zip around like I'm on three different kinds of crack.

[@romanfuchs1932]

OMG I love your how to videos, and doing it for Rise is awesome! Amazing video I literally got sooo exites when I saw that you uploaded this!

[@undisclosedidentity9893]

Give this man all the love in the universe after dealing with Squizzy Respect for you bro, we’re here for you

[@kfcbandit4713]

I made an audible noise when I noticed you uploaded. My wife checked on me. Punk don’t leave me again

[@rhmgt0v259]

I am very sorry for you about this whole squizzy thing. I hope you find peace

[@lXUS]

Yay, you're back...was worried you abandoned your channel but good to know people with Creativity and Humour out the ass are still alive. New to your channel but enjoying your content.

[@Stephano217]

God your commentary on the difficulty of the franchise couples with player familiarity with the controls is so God damn spot on you just earned my sub for that. I'm so sick of people whining that post 5th gen is babysitter simulator. Or that the lengths of the hunts are super short now. There were minute long speed runs in pre 5th gen and post 5th gen. There were average 15 min hunts pre 5th gen and post 5th gen. This isn't a world/Rise issue, hunting boomers have been whining every gen, you can find old reddit threads that still exist of people complaining when tri came out that the monsters got way easier. Length of hunts haven't changed they are just hunting boomers. I started in 4U and played every Gen (quit MH1 that game is legit ass no one can convince me otherwise) and the hunting aspect is literally the same from FU to Rise the only difference is the tedium that takes place BETWEEN hunts. I don't have to visit 35 dumb stations and watch an entire animation play out when I want to gather a single bug off my farm anymore I just click the argosy and go. If you like the tedium that's fine, if you want drop rates to be lower so you're forced to hunt every monster 8-12 times to make an armor set that's fine. But the actual hunts haven't changed. Everything is faster, both monster and hunter, but the length of time is adjusted as well. If the hunts feel quicker to you now, it's because you're better at the game, I just got a friend into MH and I can tell you this rookie takes 15 minutes to kill an arzuros and carts twice. My only legitimate complaint in rise is spiribirds are really annoying let the food give me my buffs. But even they aren't game breaking issues to me. Rant over great video you seem like the perfect person to hunt with

[@G1bbbsy]

I’ve been waiting for this for so long

[@HoloCatHead]

I miss the colossal monsters. Cedeus, Jhen and Darren Mohran, Zora needed more combat but I'd still fight it, even Xeno and Safi. I just want to fight bigger monsters and fight more monsters on their backs

[@connorcornwall1404]

Dalamadur,the Fatalis variant,Ahtal-kal etc. come on capcom! Especially Ahtal-kal,she's badass

[@rivengavriel9046]

The last how to monster hunter is my fav video on youtube and make me play MH every time i see it, this one doesnt live up to it so PLEASE wait for more title updates to make HOW TO MONSTER HUNTER SUNBREAK. Best of luck duck man.
