"will wilds be more easier than world like rise?" here's the thing for the new players from world and rise, once you played a mh game and understand how the general flow of the game is, the next iteration of the game, whether portable or console, will be easier to you especially the base game.

maybe a unpopular take, but I think we are reaching the end of the stupid "the next game needs to look better graphically" era of games. This game could look the exact same graphically as World and I would not care at all with all the map, physics, and environmental changes. I think falling into the trap that games have to improve on graphic quality is what got us into this era where the only major advancements in some game series was just improved graphics.

It's worse, we got into the era where the frames are fake. All games depends on frame generation.

[@nimbusws2566]

@@dannygalarza7730 in terms of story, it doesn’t even seem clear if it’s the new world imo cuz I’ve run into conflicting discussions about that. (Correct me if it’s been confirmed officially) But mechanically it probably does feel like that from just the demos and previews because a lot of it *does* include refinements on mechanics they introduced in World/Iceborne (majority of weapon movesets and their newer moves from fifth gen, having your own personal mount vs having an uncontrollable mount that your palico summons from the environment, and the degree of environmental interaction, to name a few) However I do feel like the more gen-defining changes and features just aren’t quite felt yet because we don’t have the full game and the dev team doesn’t seem to be tripping over themselves to show all their cards. I do think the biggest argument in *favor* of you feeling like it’s an expansion to World is that the devs have stated something along the lines of “this is closer to what we would have done with World if our technology was capable of it”, so in design philosophy it’s not very surprising if it feels particularly similar in places.

the thing about monster hunter, is that they settled on a uniform art direction a long time ago. MH games rarely look miles ahead of the previous entry, world being an exeption to that. I don't see anything beyond fidelity being improved without a soft reboot, which is what world was.

[@mwbwyatt]

World felt like a reboot of the franchise to make it more accessible so the absolutely MASSIVE jump in graphical fidelity made sense. But with rise and moreso with wild they can just take their old approach of gameplay over graphics. ❤ which I massively appreciate. With all the lighting and environmental effects/dynamic changes, they're correctly focused on making the game play better and will hopefully feel much better optimized at launch. Or like. A week after launch, as I kind of just expect bugs on day one of any AAA game nowadays. Sad, but it lets me be genuinely surprised by smooth releases. 😂

Most people don't even need paintballs (look it up) past a certain point because you just know what locations monsters frequent and where they go when they're hungry or low health.

[@muhwyndham]

It's not that rough for old Gen games to gauge damage increase, and it's due to hitstop. Yeah that's why hitstop is one thing that many old Gen players takes as very important. In MH, hitstop and lag actually tied to damage number. The bigger the damage, the longer the hitstop. So you literally can feel the damage increasing.

[@caliberkat]

I'd argue Gravios works flawlessly with the wounding mechanic cuz he's one of the few monster that rewards knowing what parts to break over another by a big margin, which is Gravios' gimmick. Breaking his wings makes him tumble & fall when he jumps. This helps make his back vulnerable, which when broken, is where the gas escapes instead of his belly after he fires the laser

[@NipplesTheEnchilada2323]

In Old World Monster Hunter you had to gauge how much you were doing via the Blood Spray, where more blood equals more damage. There were also online guides that people made for the Motion Value of each attack for each weapon, which essentially means the more motion value a certain attack has, the more damage it does. Old World games are hard to get into nowadays, due to how streamlined World and beyond are, but they aren't impossible to learn, as I've seen quite a few streamers play them after playing World or Rise and enjoying their time with the games, regardless of how less streamlined they are.

[@johndelanie3649]

I'll stand by old gen being a better way to play MH than new gen, so much of the magic of MH is lost with all the new stuff added. I'm not against the addition of new things or some QoL here or there, but they've gone so overboard with it, nothing feels truly difficult anymore.

[@NipplesTheEnchilada2323]

@@johndelanie3649 I hear you, but the way the series is now is way more accessible for new players, and I say that as a Veteran of the series since the first on PS2. Needing to do Claw Grip just to have good control of your camera just wasn't intuitive in the first two generations of the series, and it felt way more clunky in comparison to later games in the series. Also, you probably only think it isn't difficult because of how much more streamlined the series is now, compared to how it was in the past, as I've seen plenty of new players struggle with early Large Monsters in World, like the Anjanath for example. It's not that it isn't difficult, it's that you are more experienced than most players.

[@andrewboyer7544]

@@johndelanie3649 That's just nostalgia talking man. I didn't struggle with anything as much as I did Fatalis in World. Old Fatalis was much easier to me. We gave up a lot of clunky control and unintuitive inventory screens for immersion into the world like it's a living breathing thing. It was a good trade. MHW was the best game in the series to date from a feel standpoint even if it can't compete with the roster of 4u. I've gone back and tried a bunch of the older games now that I'm older and the only reason I think anyone has the take that the older games were better is nostalgia or they were in a better place in their life then. MHW was a masterpiece.

[@TheSilversepiroth]

Honestly, a lot of the mechanics of older gens makes me just not want to try them. Basic things you need like picks, whetstones & maps being items you have to take, not being able to move while healing, etc. just make me feel like, when in conjunction with the difficulty level of older games in general, that it would just make me mad/annoyed to the point that I'd never want to pick it back up at about halfway through high rank, let alone the post-game content

19:11 to be honest I thought the grievances with the difficulty decrease would’ve been drowned out by the amount of new players coming into the franchise. I’m happily surprised to see its a point of mention.

[@johndelanie3649]

MH used to be like Souls. You'd get better by getting better, that was the appeal. You learn the fights, you learn the monsters, you learn the locales and your weapon. The more you streamline out the more you take away from what made MH so big in the first place.

A replay mode sounds amazing, but I’m worried about how that would impact performance. But I’ve seen people render games that they recorded in blender, so it may be possible.

Im just curios how many large wyverns were getting at launch and if any from World will be recycled for Wilds.

I think that polishing the rough edges out of every class kills any identity they have. Whiffing as a GS user is normal and a learning curve of the class imo.

[@johndelanie3649]

Exactly, the more edges you sand off the less rewarding actually getting better is. I see so many new gen players saying "oh well it sucks to whiff X move" or "you have to build up so much resource to Y, why losing it all on a miss feels bad". That's the point. Practice, don't miss, the more you do it the better you get, that used to be the whole point of Monster Hunter. Much like FromSoft games the knowledge is what you actually gain from your attempts, and the knowledge is what makes you succeed next time.

[@kphuts815]

my main issue is that the GS's damage seems to have been nerfed due to the focus mode making whiffing hard to do.

I think we're at the point where graphics getting better is only gonna look slightly different than the previous generations. Cause I can tell Wilds has different graphics than World, but if you ask me they both look good.

[@UniversalBojack]

I'm glad Max pointed out that you should be using f your mount to pick you up when you get knocked down. I was doing that every time to reposition, sharpen, or heal. Although, I have seen people online saying that they area gonna try to use the mount sparingly... Which to that I say "good luck, buddy". Lol

[@BruteTigrex21]

Not showing damage numbers was one of the reasons why hit-stop was so important in the pre world games. The main way you could tell how much damage you’d be doing was by seeing how quickly the monster would flinch + the hit-stop

[@carltasticdrew9633]

4:03 the infamous move that hint of what things to come.

[@AndreFengo]

Lets be real, a la damage numbers: even in World you arent keeping track of minute increases in damage, you see orange number or the tenderized number and that's good enough for you.

[@CowPuncher9000]

Glad he addressed the audio. I felt like the beta sounded like I was giving the monster paper cuts. Instead of gritty, ripping texture to the hits.

Looks nice, will probably be a lot of fun. But doesn't look that much better than world to justify upscalling + frame gen at 1080p being a requirement on moderate hardware. I'd take a "cut" on visuals if I can go back to getting world's performance.

Are you saying there's a guard cancel on Gunlance???!

[@BloodRawEngine89]

Feel like a lot of the World-adjacent stuff was by design, if not to act as a direct follow-up to it, than to build upon its concepts as standards going forward. While I'll miss switch skills (wolverine meme @ Surge Slash for GS), the new additions to combat's fundamentals definitely adds a lot more new flavor than I was expecting, and things like Focus Mode and the wound-system this time around are really satisfying to pull off, and also help better incentivize different playstyles with a weapon's more traditional moveset. Speaking as a GS fan, yeah, there's already been a lot less whiffing during my time in OBT, and I felt like I could approach a more offensive playstyle than hit-and-run. By comparison, I feel like Rise was more of an evolution of MH Generations' big selling point between Hunting Styles and its special attacks, but integrated in a more streamlined, and organic manner that I think really worked well, perfect for what can be considered the second game in the fifth generation.

[@Sephiroth69]

Just wanna lyk that you cannot call seikret when you are knocked back or on the ground, so its not like rise wirefall. Only way you could recover with seikret after a blow is by calling seikret just before you are hit with a blow and if the seikret is hit by that blow in the process it wont pick you up, so you cannot spam seikret pick up save you gotta do it old fashion way.

[@itsreapernecrosis2215]

This is how you make a sequel. You take the beautiful foundation of your previous game, and you build ontop of it and give the players more of what they love. Too many developers way over innovate and throw away all the good elements of their previous games in favor of innovating and trying to "modernize." Thats where games like battlefield have gone wrong today. People just wanted more BF3 and 4. But instead we got 2042. Just take what you know works. And build on it.

[@GurenSan]

My take about weapons in new MH games is that you should always try out new weapons. Each game each weapon works slightly different because of basic gameplay mechanics or because of the weapon got new moves, so some weapons will be more fun in a game than others. I usually stick with using SnS + a new weapon, like in WIlds I think I will stick to SnS and GL (and maybe even one more). edit: Came in for Monster Hunter, came out hungry.

6:55 I’ll be honest this game does not at all feel like monster hunter worlds at all. Sure they look a bit similar only in realism style. When playing the beta though you can feel just how different of a game it is. The behind the scenes of the combat creation for wilds is insanely cool. You gotta check it out and see just how much more work was done to accomplish all these new animation. The way you guard your great sword now so fluidly is amazing. Going to mh rise after playing the beta feels so insanely strange. I really don’t know how to explain it perfectly. You just have to try the game for yourself. A much much better experience that doesn’t resemble world at all. Different engines too

[@wardy4903]

Rise isn't supposed to be like wilds. Wilds IS supposed to be like World though.

[@kevinuribe318]

@ when did I say rise is like wilds? I just described me going from Monster hunter wilds beta to rise right after is a strange feeling entirely since it’s the more most recent monster game. I still play it to this day. Never meant to compare them at all.

You gauged dps in the only ones on if the hit had the blood spatter hit effect. Do that spot enough and itll go down in 15-20 mins if its an on par monster in the old days lol
