Is Monster Hunter doomed?
>>729103712No it’s just due to contract its audience a bit. They bounced off the ceiling of what chasing broad appeal can manage.
>>729103712>Is Monster Hunter doomed?Maybe.
>>729103712All depend on next ichinose's game
>>729103712Monster Hunter: SUNRISE for switch2 announced soon. They have to get the money for the milds expansion
As long as that spiritual nigger Ryozo is in charge of the franchise, yes.
>>729103712Only if Capcom still doesn't realize aiming for mass appeal beyond this point is a mistake. Also if they still fail to realize they suck at story telling and peaked at 4U's plot which was super fucking simple despite being the best story.
>>729104006missing pubes, stretch marks and a pregnant belly
>>7291037122 more weeks bro, milds is dead and it will get no G-rank! next game will be switch 2 only
>>729103712No, but if they make another misguided one then maybe. They need to return to the more hardcore audience. I say "more" hardcore because MH has never been a truly hardcore series, especially if you just do low rank, but it NEEDS to provide more friction and require more of the player than Wilds does. Also performance yadda yadda, insane how badly Wilds runs.
>>729103712It's cursed for sure cause they have a big fanbase now but with people having different ideas of what MH is supposed to be depending on the game they started with. As long as they understand the playerbase peaked already and focus on actual creating a game and not some story driven shitty pseudo realistic simulation the franchise should be fine.
>>729103712No, just wait for the "portable" team and they'll make another good game to play for 6-8 years while we wait for the next mediocre at best "mainline" game to go through the motions again.
Most of the problems are fixable in MR but I wouldn't bet on it.
>>729103712Stories 3 + MH portable 6 will bring the series backWilds was just a fluke
>>729106857The DLC will be another 20 hours of jeet plotlines and slow walking sections because that's what "sold the game"
>make fuckhuge maps that are dogshit to play on>spawn in 5+ monsters at once so you can stay out on the field and hunt for hours on end>to do that every single thing on the map is fully loaded in at all times which tanks performance>all for 99.9% of players to go back to camp after every questWhat the absolute fuck were these retards thinking? The game is rotten to the core.
>>729107664I think removing the hard village/hunting ground split and the old quest system was one of the biggest mistakes Wilds made
>>729107664The modern audience fears the 3 second loading screens.
>>729104842Wilds is now the hardest base game by a country mile>n-no I don’t mean actual hardcore I just mean slightly harder the first time you fight a monster only
>>729107963Not having optional quests is the stupidest shit.
>>729108954You guys tried to say the same thing about World and that game had nothing hard at all except maybe solo Behemoth.
"Is the weapon dangerous?">errmm technology isn't good or evilNot what I meant cunt I was asking if it won't blow up when we turn it on.
>>729108954Is it? I remember base World ATs being harder. With the notable exception of Savage Omega, I don't think anything in Wilds is all that hard because the ATs have been a bit of a disappointment. Whereas something like AT Kirin was a rando menace.
>wilds download is 160gb nowI'm praying that's just the high res textures, is there a way to not download them?
how is charge blade in wilds. Overcharging phials seems like it was an okay addition to the weapon
>>729109706Even if I agreed (I don’t)It’d just mean both World and Wilds are hard
>>729103712Wild's biggest problem is easily rectifiable, they just need to rethink their open world concept>Seikret's auto-tracking every monster on the map every time should go, at least force you to track them down each species once or twice before you get the option by using village Intel to scout the environment for clues>Bring back quests instead of making everything a free hunt>More monster interactions, not necessarily turf wars but something to make it feel like these things exist in the same environment together
>>729103712Monster Hunter is at the stage where its too big to fail.They can do whatever they want at this point and the next game will still be successful
Monster Hunter is doing great. They brought in the normalfag audience I've been playing the game recently and SoS has paired me up with the dudebro that forgets to turn off the mic and the woman that won't stop talking
>>729110523This. It’s a game series for brown turd world twitch streamers now.
>>72910895499% of a $70 game being piss easy shit is not fixed by the 1% of difficult content that wasn't even in the game at release, kill yourself faggot
>>729110437I just want challenge hunts back, nothing from World onwards has been as engaging as The Master's Test for example.
>>729108954>*perfect blocks your post*>*focus mode 360s while attacking*>*witch time dodges your reply*
>>729111231Yeah man in the old games Blagonga and Great Jaggi were hard filters xD
>>729111303Wilds just added hunt-a-thon quests, but you can't really scale difficulty like that anymore now that monsters maul each other so badly. Multi-monster hunts just aren't very hard with nu-MH mechanics. But I think there have been several ATs much harder than The Master's Test.
>>729107664all they had to do was the guiding lands again but in a huge map
>>729111732The low rank urgent Blangonga in GU is unironically more of a threat than not just its own Wilds counterpart that doesn't appear until high rank but practically every other monster in Wilds' main story too
>>729111813Huntathon is not comparable to a multi monster hunt in the arena from the old games. And I don't really agree with any single monster hunts being harder personally, but we can agree to disagree. Difficulty discussion has always been pretty silly for action games, honestly.
>>729103712What's wrong with Wilds again except that your PC can't handle it?
>>729112958Not much, just that the>Mechanics are shit>Roster is shit>Maps are shit>Music is shit>Visuals are shit>Story is shit>Characters are shit>Worldbuilding is shit
>>729112723The point is that World did have a bunch of multi monster hunts in arenas (both of them). They just aren't the same when monsters kill each other for you.
Monster hunter stories has been an amazing experience and it seems they brought the difficulty to that game over the main line title so I'll stick with it.
>>729112958>performance is apparently shit on most computers, but mine ran really well so I don't know if that's true>story is complete nonsense >Soundtrack was weak aside from a few standout tracks like Rey Dau and Arkveld 1>base game had a very weak roster for the most part>most of the new monsters were made to be low tier shitters for some reason>weapon movesets gutted and oversimplified, Insect Glaive being the most glaring example>Wounding mechanic and focus attacks are absurdly strong and reward you for just playing normally, as opposed to at least making you do a specific action>on release it only had one endgame monster to hunt>final boss was released as a half finished fight without any equipment at allI liked the octopi and power clashes though.
>>729104842This is something I always get so annoed by, people say "MH has never been hard" but that's not the point, I know MH is not supposed to be Dark Souuls or some shit, but it's definitely supposed to be harder than whatever MHWilds was.MHWorld was already cakewalk, but MHWilds is even worse, if a game goes from being 5/10 difficult to being 3/10 difficult I am allowed to complain that we lost 2 points of difficulty, even in both cases the game is easy.
>>729107664>make map huge and full of shit>shit now it takes forever to do anything>give you a mount so the map no longer feels big and you just fly past everything in a blurThe old open world paradox
>>729107664>What the absolute fuck were these retards thinking?>thinkingThat's the cool part. They weren't thinking about anything at all!
>>729110075Its okay. I like going straight to charging the shield from loading the phials. Swinging the shield/sword in front of you like that is such a cool look. Lots of emphasis on Wild Axe, which was nice at first, but hobbling SAED feels wrong.
>>729104006missing cellulite, butt dimples, and a stuffed belly
Difficulty fags need to be castrated
im playing rise
>>729103712Yes. But all they need to do is bring back friction and anti-QOL features. players should suffer in order to make rewards feel meaningful. Surpassing and beating miles stones in Gen 1, 2, and 3 actually felt rewarding because you didn't have a million crutch mechanics like in the newer games.>B-but that would drive off new players!Good.
>>729103712wilds is. The next one has a chance if they abandon the ridiculous focus on story.
>>729103712Fuck no, Japs love this shit
I have a deep love for Monster hunter. I'm willing to forgive Wilds being a pretty shit game. However there needs to be a course correction for me to be hopeful for the series. The next mobile game needs to be at least as good as Rise and AND have some top tier waifus
Tokuda needs to be let go
>>729118624No, he was good in his original position. He was over promoted
>>729112081Part of what made the guiding lands work was how it managed to fit all those biomes into compact areas just big enough to comfortably fight a monster or two. If you wanted to improve it then you wouldn't gain anything from stretching it out horizontally, it would be better to just polish up the transitional areas in the center.
>>729118168I agree with you. Take out palicos, flash bombs, and traps for starters. If they really wanna be based they'd also take out ranged weapons too.
>>729118610>licensed chinese gacha game>goodsurely you meant portable and not mobile
>>729119310I did mean portable lmao thanks for the correction.
But what MH game was perfect before it's G rank release?
>>729103712I can't state how much I hate Arkvelds design. It's so ugly. He hardly looks like a monster, more like an alien from some shitty sci-fi.
>>729119515Only 4 and generations.
>>729119310>>729119472It's not portable when it's going to be on PC and consoles
he BROKE you
>>729119762Is this confirmed? I thought everyone's been saying were getting another Switch exclusive.
>>729119708>mountslop and AEslop
>>729119762People use it more like a divider than a literal definition nowadays, to highlight the difference in approach. "Portable" games tend to be a lot brighter and focus on the gameplay like Rise, "mainline" is the cinematic and story focused ones like World. It just comes from the A team and B team memes.
>>729120020Rise was absolite shite at release brah
>>729119862You might have gotten the clue when Rise was not really portable
>>729120105I don't know what your bad taste has to do with anything I said, anon.
>>729119862that "everyone" is just buttblasted tendies still seething about worldIt's gonna be a multiplatform game, i doubt any amount of money can sway the capcom jews from another chance at getting 1mil pc players>>729109948the "Manage my DLC" tab is under your achievements, untick the hd texture pack
If anyone starts talking about game directors I just instantly dismiss them as a schizo, it’s something people only find when they’re looking for ammo
>>729119854he definitely broke my willingness to play a monster hunter game, that takes some real skill
>>729120262Likewise. Rise was below mid. The spiderman ninja shit really was disgusting.
>>729113780>Mfw powerclashing with Omega right when phase 2 starts with eScape kicking inIronic how the guest monster has easily the most engaging and fun fight in the game. Even more surprising given what a slog Behemoth and Leshen were.
>>729120521And World has very shit monsters and wastes your time endlessly with pointless tedium, but nobody was talking about any of this. Are you replying to the wrong person?
>>729120703Sounds like every MH ever
>>729120804Indeed. All monhun games are shit.
