Haha, they stuck with it. Still no music during Khezu fight. That gets an A+ for respecting the series history from me.

Oh and the ninja shit was pretty cool too.

Yup, they already confirmed it before from the interview with Gaijin Hunter

Me right now after realizing it's a rolling midnight release and people already playin this shit:

You are right.

 

[NanaMiku]

I can't focus on my work waiting it to unlock.....

 

[isual]

so, buy now or just wait for the inevitable ultimate version with G rank in a year or two?

I've platinumed Bloodborne. It has responsive mechanics and minimal input lag. I used heavy and light weapons and their many transformations during my multiple playthroughs. I can say assertively that the combat is fluid and responsive, and that reactions are part of its fast paced action. The old monster hunter games I played do not feel anything like Bloodborne's combat, and other people who answered me said that mechanics of combat are generally like the previous Mohun games and that is all part of the fun.

It's okay if we like different things. Monster hunter is just not for me... Unless the combat has the fluidity of bloodborne now?

It’s probably not for you.

its not “unresponsive” it’s deliberately slow (I mean some weapons are much faster than others.... like dual blades) as to commit to each hit. Know your opening. Know the patters and know your weapon moveset. It’s extremely rewarding once you get the hang of it. It’s very strategic and relies less on refelxes

it’s quite brilliant if it all clicks. But infuriating when it doesn’t.

Yeah I'm convinced with the 40-50 hours of time I spent on it that I don't enjoy the combat. If the game underneath hasn't changed, more time won't alter my feelings about it.

Wouldnt make sense, after cart costs, they would make barely any money compared to the iceborne approach.
Rise will get a expansion, but would be DLC.
MHW + Iceborne bundle sold really well in Japan.

I'm picking up the base game now, will buy again when the PC version launches and get all the DLC there. I'm a sucker, but what can I say, I love MH.

 

[bender]

Unlock you bastard!

 

[bender]

Unlock you bastard!

Holy shit it worked. My posts are magic.

 

[GinSama]

Bought the game yesterday. Hope it will come today.

the first and only mh I really liked it was MH4U for the ds.
Play hundreds of hours of that one.

didn’t like too much about world. But this one looks very promising .

 

[GymWolf]

LMAO look at the shoulders

Looks like someone smeared her with barroth mucus...

But to return on topic, wow i fucked up the nerdgigante on my first try with the swaxe...am i better with this weapon after 15 hours then lance and bow after 500?! What is going on?!

I had a similar experience with the charge blade (300+ hours) and the gun lance (15 minutes). Just embrace it bro.

 

[Bodomism]

I'm currently struggling with a wire bug, this is the price of ignoring demo.

 

[GymWolf]

I think the problem here is that swaxe does far more damage and stun than lance, so it's easy to stop monster every 2-3 minutes.

Also after 500 hours the game is still clicking with me...i still discover some nuances.

 

[Skifi28]

It's gotten really quiet here. I guess everybody's playing? I hate all of you...

 

[TintoConCasera]

I'm waiting for my copy to arrive...

 

[Banjo64]

Waiting for the Royal Mail

 

[Rathalos]

Just arrived, lets go boys!

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Watching the opening cutscene. Probably going to be ignoring my work all day.

 

[Banjo64]

Just delivered!

Beautiful steel book the amiibo is off topic but not a single crease on the cardboard - beautiful!

 

[Rathalos]

Is it just me or does it seem to be running a bit smoother than the demo?

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Solid fps in the village during the opening section of the game so far. Digital Foundry also mentioned pretty smooth FR with only occasional stuttering.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I don't think the game recognized my demo save file as non of those consumables are in my item box or inventory. No clue where to get the pre-order bonus items from either.

 

[MagnesG]

Apparently, the MP for this game is one of the best for Switch. So new servers doing their work now?

 

[trickybiff]

After like the beginner quest, the in game mail guy will have them.

The mailman cat has them. I was able to collect that stuff after my first village quest.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Ordered the Pro Controller and it's already getting scalped lmao. I promised myself I wouldn't buy it and play it from day one but I'm weak... I'm tempted.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Yep, just unlocked both the save items & the pre-order.

 

[Northeastmonk]

It feels like the day that I buy physical is the day a lot of people buy digital. Amazon should have mine delivered by the time I’m back home.

Good luck mate. My copy just arrived, can't wait to wack monsters in the head all the weekend.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Woah, putting the gathering quests as optional ones that you can tack-on to the main quests is a nice improvement.

 

[trickybiff]

And now I have to work and count the hours until I can play again... Why didn't I just take the day off??

 

[F31 Leopard]

Lame...my preorder still hasn't shipped. Damn you Best Buy! I'm going to have to stop by GS and pick me up a physical copy anyway.

 

[Raven117]

Yeah I'm convinced with the 40-50 hours of time I spent on it that I don't enjoy the combat. If the game underneath hasn't changed, more time won't alter my feelings about it.

Bummer! But you for sure have it your best shot.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Damn it I have to work. Used my lunch break to... make my guy and my dog, cat will have to wait.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Looks like the next monster to be added after Chameleos will be Apex Rathalos at the end of April.

 

[R6Rider]

Mine should be arriving anytime from noon to 4pm today. As long as Amazon shipping doesn't screw up again.

 

[Pejo]

Man that's boring. I know raths are iconic to the series, but we already have too many variations.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[Pejo]

Jeeze, IGN don't even give people a chance to play the game until they spoil everything. Whatever gets the clicks I guess.

 

[Banjo64]

Any consensus and the best sounding language? English, Japanese or MH Language?

 

[R6Rider]

I always go MH Language. English is probably the worst when it comes to the yells and shouts during fights.

 

[Noncanon Ship]

Heads up: the EU just got a new MyNintendo reward of Monster Hunter Rise mini-posters:

- Set of 5 mini posters presented in a cardboard envelope (229 x 324 mm)
- Dimensions of the mini posters: A4 (210 x 297 mm)
- Materials: glossy paper 300 g / m²
- 300 platinum points


I'm definitely getting these when they come across the pond.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I am getting my ass handed to me playing with hammer. Using starting gear though. I am rusty going into this.

 

[Rathalos]

Tried some multiplayer, which is definitely not as smooth as solo. But man, do I fucking love how you can just join people's quests from the board without having to mess about looking for lobbies, just in and out.

 

[NanaMiku]

I wanted to use MH language, but the shouts actually quite useful for me. The character will warn me when a big attack is coming or my friend's character will shout when they put the trap

 

[Hawks Eclipse]

Wow, I went in to delete my demo save data and noticed that the size for MHR's data is a monstrous 406MB. I thought it was a glitch so I started it up on another account and the total for both was 813MB...

To put things into perspective, it's the second largest save file I have: Minecraft's is 1.9GB (default is around 1GB but it grows if you download additional content) and Animal Crossing's is 222MB.
