The Monster Hunter Wilds Demo is Seriously Impressive!

[@brogangh]

As a veteran player this felt really good. Things were smooth and combos flowed nicely, plus weapons got great updates. Bow is even more of a monster now (dragon piercer is good!) and gunlance felt like so much better than it ever has before in my eyes. I also really enjoyed the intractability of the environment

[@Tenkiei]

Dragon Piercer was the one move I could do correctly on the bow. I was very bad at the charge step though.

[@AquilaGuard]

what do you mean by "intractability of the environment"?

[@brogangh]

@ things like the sand pits balahara could make or how Rey Daus lightning would cause the sand to glass, or how the lightning in the inclemency could actually hit things, along with the vine traps and rockfalls that we could use with our slinger

[@BuccaVf]

Actually not a demo, it’s a beta, good chance we will get a demo within the next couple months

[@PawlysBartys]

Did you just call Dual Blades a Charge Blade? One is a pair of puny daggers. Other one is a big fuckoff axe.

[@Tenkiei]

Oops, I'll be honest the weapon names confused me quite a bit. That was very much a contributing factor to the feeling of "this is overwhelming." I thought the daggers were the charge blade because you build up charge to use demon mode.
