Merry Christmas only 65 more days till the hunt🎉🎉🎉

[@liaseth]

This is the best bromance on the internet

[@Simbad_Garcia]

4:52 just keep making valstrax thumbnails, that was the only video I got from the algorithm, and made me watch all your videos. Cheers for valstrax on wilds!(I'm not obsessed you're obsessed)

[@kevinlawrence7289]

Happy holidays hunters!!!

[@raph43L]

Merry Christmas Ruri and to his amazing community!

[@natbvm1880]

Yeah, I went searching for Gaijin the other day and realized that he had made a whole slew of amazing monster videos. They're so good! Dang algo

[@mechadebzilla]

Yeah man gotta go get caught up too!

[@abbasfrom]

I’m going to build a PC for MH Wilds. It’s been 10 years since I last built a PC. I’m excited

[@legendofthewest2326]

i already did that xD RIP 2.200€

[@AyBee9725]

congratulations, and have fun! you owe urself this much! (^_^)//

[@benturtl9076]

Same I already did. Finshed last weekend

[@JFlowZen]

same haha

[@champ6436]

i bought a cheap rx 6800 during summer for Wilds. hope i won't be obsolete in february. tho i'm really considering upgrading my cpu, from a 5600 to a 5700x3d as it also one of the cheapest really good option.

[@el_moso_gaming3712]

This is my favorite podcast ❤

[@ogredanhibiki]

I've been keeping an eye on my subscriber count for years ever since the first rumblings of people being forcefully unsubscribed without notice and have never had that happen, even with channels that have not uploaded for years and channels that I have not looked at a video for in a long time. Is it actually a thing or do people just think they're subscribed but aren't and were just always catching videos from their home page?

[@Allknowing18]

The only times I've heard of it happening is with newly created channels who gain alot of subs quickly. Outside of that the only times KZbin will unsubscribe someone is if they have an inactive account.

[@Thevikingninja117]

Merry Christmas everyone!

[@mechadebzilla]

Merry Christmas, fellow Hunters! Third Fleet driving the sleigh through the Reach once more in 2024.

[@Pash1992]

Merry christmas everyone. Hope you have a great new year too 😊

[@mechadebzilla]

Hey thanks for the great trusty vs sneaky breakdown! Didn't expect to hear Gaijin giving the Guild so much credit. Merry Christmas guys!

[@gamesbackward]

2:12:00 it sounds like gaijin would enjoy wuthering waves! i keep telling them in their feedback that a monster hunter crossover or even their own monhun mode would fit their game and world perfectly!

[@Radintoriov]

The Sunbreak demo is still available for download, at least on PC. That's what made me hope for a Wilds demo, but yeah, if it'd require them to take away time and resources we might as well tough it out and wait for the full release.

[@tonydragon784]

Appreciate y'all answering my question! Hyped for Wilds, Gunlance + Hunting Horn

[@chrisanderson7192]

There are 2 things that no one seems to be talking about with Insect Glaive, and those are 1. Canceling out of the charge attack once you have it held down. I could have just missed it or it's a mechanic from another weapon but I could not cancel out of it no matter what I did and I need my thumb to do literally anything else. So if you wiff on the charged attacked you better hope you don't get caught in that animation. That's the number 1 way I carted from Rey Dau. 2. These changes basically mean Power Prolonger is worthless on the IG because you are trying to spend your buffs as soon as you collect them for maximum damage output. There is no benefit in just sitting on the triple buff now.

[@braggeraustelos2814]

Much appreciated, happy holidays! Cheers!

[@VenomPureEvil]

Oh my god. The motion values thing of the old games is so brutal😂😂😂

[@Pumpkingamingzz]

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE :]

[@BHS289]

Feliz Natal, Ruri! Thanks for the content this year, looking forward to your coverage of Wilds

[@nexus274]

Gaijin: "Oh... that free to play game." *10 minutes later* Gaijin gushes about Infinity Nikki.

[@gaijinhunter]

It was a joke since the day prior I was on a stream and Ruri referred to Nikki as ‘oh that gacha game…’ so this was just a friendly poke back :p

[@spooky8662]

As a greatsword main, hyper armor on tackle is the most fun part of the weapon. Many weapons now have a offset attack on demand, which all have hyper armor. The idea of trying to time the TTS on the 2nd down swing sounds really fun. I already time hyper armor attacks all the time and its the most fun part of the weapon.

[@j_162]

1:50:00 iirc they already said in an interview that there will be 1 charm for each weapon and that the charm will also have offensive skills

[@Rex-io1ol]

So they're having Rurikhan announce the January Demo? Bold move

[@rurikhan]

Uh?

[@Aidkit5218]

Merry Xmas everyone! WILDS LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[@666slateran666]

I wouldnt mind a second beta but i get why they are focusing on the main release and optimization.

[@andrewyeoh2612]

Merry Christmas 🎉

[@Khandrake]

Every day Wilds is the closest it's ever been... and that's just wonderful I blame KZbin for not seeing GJ stuff

[@statesminds]

Gaijin definitely coping about Infiniti Nikki, it’s a gacha just like Genshin Impact but with outfits over characters lol

[@zZ1n0]

If I'm not mistaken, magnet spike was really broken in Frontier. So if they were to add it then it would probably be reworked or smth.

[@jockpackage1770]

Yes it was but, around that point, everything in Frontier was AOE spam and broken. So, if you dared use anything but magnet spike, you better be using extreme style (so you sprint mid charging GS etc.) or had a certain set of Frontier's mitigation skills. That or you were fucked. It was a poorly executed MMO by the end. If you think main line has balancing issues, oh my sweet summer child.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

@@jockpackage1770The game was extremely unbalanced by nature of being a live service game.

[@jockpackage1770]

@@TornaitSuperBird Exactly, that's why the main Monster Hunter team should never do that. Unless there's a massive culture shift, they won't because they like resetting things. That way, the weaker/more personality filled monsters aren't forgotten as easily.

[@srbaran]

This must mean there's going to be some major announcement immediately after the podcast!

[@carlosstruck1996]

About the híper armor, I think that’s probably to avoid changing some things about the weapon. Long sword if you get hit mid attack the attack doesn’t land and you lose the red bar, so probably it is a little more complicated to change it to not lose it so the híper armor is a quick fix, maybe is the same for switch axe probably it loses the sword charge if you get hit and the attack doesn’t land. Thinking this as an non intentional inconvenience maybe is easier to put hipper armor than to change the weapon code

[@dethomazi7960]

33:38 the community update was at 1:00 in the morning for Japan. That’s what the CM told in the last Podcast episode at Arrekz Gaming 😊

[@Raika63]

Favorite quote RE: Infinity Nikki (out of context) "it's sorta like dark souls..."

[@FromTheVoid10011]

I loved to watch gaijin’s remix of the welcome to monster hunter video cause when I watched it for the first time I immediately felt like it was guild’s propaganda, every chosen words leads to this direction, the guild’s definitely shady and I hope we learn more about all the stuff going on (but I don’t want to know everything ofc, just like the end of iceborne it was perfect, the whole documentation being burned for an organization whose role is too document every creature in the world, it’s the perfect way to hint that there are some mysterious things going on here) Just the perfect way to bring some conspiracies aspect to the lore

[@pascalcollet3897]

Happy X mas ruri and iron breakers

[@jockpackage1770]

Yes, X mas, everyone ensure your rocket proof walls are maintained. Pretty sure Santa upgraded his weapon systems from last year.

[@jecarlos8564]

I think we can see those super dodges in a system in level with the perfect block and offset, so really the weapons that had nothing would be the old new IG and Light Bowgun

[@sansotandrea4063]

About sarcasm : I used to understand it perfectly, but I have this feeling that now people don't put the tone of sarcasm, like the intonation really doesn't show it... Idk i get confused a lot with sarcasm now when before I didn't have issues With it As for the format, I liked this chiller interview format, it felt like a Warframe devstream and Warframe does the BEST devstreams

[@666slateran666]

Ruri is just really bad at it lmao

[@mechadebzilla]

I don't think it's "sarcasm" as much as it's "satire" that people don't get anymore. And if you have to explain satire to someone, there really isn't much point.

[@joshlewis8860]

Merry Christmas everyone ❤️💚

[@marceloduque3617]

Merry Christmas everyone!! We hunt in 2025!

[@taichiixsan4619]

Walmart buff sent me too xD

[@iflgames3245]

Guys i am confused and new to Monster Hunter. What is the end game of monster hunter other than finding RNG decorations? Is their insentive to play the game after you complete it?

[@666slateran666]

Hunting monsters so you can wear their skin. It's essentially grinding for what gear you want

[@iflgames3245]

@666slateran666 I need an analogy, for example Genshin Impact you grind artifact for stats when your done you go to Spiral Abyss to 36 star so you can get the resources for wishes. What would MH equivalent be?

[@Here4Support]

@@iflgames3245It honestly depends on you. Each weapon plays differently and changes the experience. You could beat the game with one weapon and go back and do those quests with another. There are also event quests that can be very challenging even with end-game equipment. It’s just fun meeting different people and fighting different monsters together.

[@mechadebzilla]

Fashion Hunter is endgame for many. Or completing awards like crowns. Or just playing with friends. There are people with thousands of hours in MH who keep playing just because they're having fun. I think we forget that games should be fun and not feel like a job.

[@ab2dii467]

i love you guys but you focus on hate comment waayyy too much and its affecting the conversation, even right now there is around 100 comment 98% of them are positive yet ruri and gaijin ONLY reply is to the comment who hates on them. i get that the internet is full of hate lately but man this is too much

[@rurikhan]

Negativity Bias, it’s a survival trait and a major flaw, you’re absolutely correct.

[@Дулат-ъ8х]

Insect glaive literally has Nero Mechanics, where you had 6 buttons to hold down at the same time and release them when needed, it’s weird, but once you get it, it’s incredibly easy and satisfying. So I’m not that disappointed in the weapon, since I think it adds depth to playing it, if that makes sense.

[@trublood6410]

I remember the stone thing to find out values!

[@Niemandzockt]

1:57:01 "I'm happy for you." Does he know??

[@khaild7856]

1:03:51 what do you mean? it was there in the OBT already

[@Torinn1X]

I think they’ve said that charms will have offensive skills as well

[@mintparfait]

As someone that also hated UE5, Infinity Nikki definitely changed my mind about it somewhat, turns out it can be optimised even with stuff like raytracing implemented, and it doesn't look blurry from upscaling to do it. I guess they must of spent ages optimising the hell out of it to make it compatible with mobile too. Makes me wonder about all these other ue5 games struggling to implement fixes. What are they doing different?

[@jockpackage1770]

I can see someone doing the Monty Python Life of Brian scene. Have 1 hunter that's obviously a normal dude and 3 more that are bearded ladies preparing the stone a poor herbivore. "Are there any women here today?" We have stones, for the slinger, not sure if they still do 1 damage or maybe it's 2 now. On the mindless "crowd the head until it dies" thing: Whenever I told my friend, who started with Rise, that hunters use to cut tails in World he didn't believe me. He did not believe that cutting a tail or getting other part breaks was way more common in World because it almost never happened in Rise.

[@pizzameninvaded7251]

Merry Christmas!

[@rurikhan]

Thank you so much!

"The best lie is always the truth" - Me, just now

[@MrSpiderspider12]

Merry Christmas In the case of the friendly fire situation, it should be a choice for the player instead of devs deciding how it's handled The best solution in my opinion is to have an option/switch in the settings or hub settings for friendly fire launching

[@aadam4035]

3 HOURS WOOHOOO

[@ThijsSchrijnemakers]

thanks

[@marceloduque3617]

Merry Christmans Rui!

[@NickySayahSina]

Everytime you guys say "Nicky" I think that you're talking about me. Lol

[@LordShonji]

1:53:46 unfortunately this doesn't always work as i do this for pokemon channels that are pro genning(cheating) and i still get recommended to them

[@iggyig420]

IG controls arent a big deal IMO, also dont really play multiplayer but ive always hated friendly fire...also started in World for whatever thats worth to a 3rd fleeter.

[@666slateran666]

These 2 are coping hard about friendly fire being a good thing. It's always been annoying and unnecessary

[@Rathadude]

I have a hard time believing we aren't getting a second beta with Arkveld. Literally, every single beta/demo since GU (and maybe even before that) had a second version with the flagship.

[@thebarbiter4644]

46:47 I hope this means there'll be SOME performance improvement for Steam Deck, cuz assuming I don't manage to get the money for a Wilds capable PC at launch in two-ish months, that's probably what I'm gonna be playing on🫠

[@codymartin4405]

Merry Xmas you two! Gaijin - enjoy your strawberry shortcake and KFC chicken in Japan haha❤

[@cephuwu]

Yea Infinity Nikki! Nice choice Gaijin

[@etriantrujek286]

Grius from Metaphor Re Fantazio is JRPG Rurikhan

[@ddmaster08]

Wtf i really thought gaijin had stopped making vídeos... Damn you KZbin!!

[@Rytom]

It's so funny seeing you talk about gacha games when you don't know how these games have changed nowadays. Especially how gaijin is trying really hard to say that Infinity Nikki is a gacha game but not reaaally because this and that ahah. I would love to give you some insight if given the opportunity. I played a good amount of them and the landscape has massively changed. I understand why though, it's an extremely specific genre, but it also provides things that no other games can (the reverse is also true). I'm sure you would be suprised by how cool some characters can be or by the combat of lets say, PGR or Wuwa for example, Ruri. Anyway thanks for the podcast it was a fun one. Gaijin really needs to ac 2:55:38 I think they're already on thin ice with Wilds, the game is changing too much to the point it already lost core principles. The way they're going with Wilds is making me doubt for how long I'm gonna keep enjoying MH if it keeps getting dilluted into a regular action game.

[@wyvernvenex794]

MERRY CHIRSTMAS!!, now about the whole armor problem that gaijin brought up does not apply to me as in making all the armors anyway so I'm good. also criteye being 5 ranks would probly be 5%/10%/20%/30%/45% per rank with is the same as before (I'm just going by memory)

[@666slateran666]

Theres something super ironic about Gaijin complaining about Ps plus and not having early access with unknowingly paying for it and not playing early lmao. Also its hilarious that hes coping comparing PoE2 with a very fair F2P system to a gacha game lmao

[@Vendal89]

Wyvernfire should be an offset attack. There, I said it.

[@KlumpusVT]

People in the comments spouting nonsense about Infinity Nikki. If you actually gave the Game a try you'd understand that it's not "Slop". The Gacha Aspect being the core of everyone's contempt is funny to me since the Game literally SHOWERS you with Diamonds for doing basically anything: opening Chests, doing Quests, completing Objectives etc. If you feel the need to spend money on it, then you are either mega impatient or you want a store exclusive Outfit. I personally didn't spend a single cent on it. And comparing it to Genshin or Star Rail is dumb. In those two Games you draw Characters with unique Abilities that completely change how you play the Game. In Nikki you get every Single Ability by just playing through the Mainquest. What you draw in the Gacha are potential Skins that you can put over the Original Ability Outfit and also besides that, have their own stats in certain Styling Types but you get no new Abilities besides being able to do "graffities" wich only look pretty.

[@bej4987]

Soul sacrifice please

[@stevenpaul7717]

No point in crit eye or attack boost or even defense boost on weapons. Weapons already have attack values just add it to the base. Crit is already on weapons so crit eye on weapons doesn’t even seem relevant. At that point get rid of the skills. Unless we get to pick the skills going onto the weapon and they aren’t predetermined I dislike it. Give me weapon specific skills on the weapons like focus or power prolonger.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

Stuff like Power Prolonger and Focus *will* be on weapons as well.

[@rurikhan]

No I don’t…

[@666slateran666]

Gaijin loving a gacha game this hard is very telling on his taste

[@gaijinhunter]

I’ve played and enjoyed free to play games before and also ones that actually designed around the gacha. The ‘slop’ part tells me you are just writing them all off which I would need to disagree with such a stance

[@666slateran666]

@gaijinhunter from what I gathered it's a game that's all about dressing up your character and has some zelda elements. Sounds like a Genshin like to me lmao. Path of exile you can play all the way through without ever needing to spend money, and the cosmetic they do offer aren't a RNG slot pull. "Slop" seems fitting. It's fine I'd you like it but that doesn't change what it is.

[@gaijinhunter]

@@666slateran666 you can play through the entire 100h story without spending any money as well so i dont understand how it is "slop" but to each their own i guess
