Monster hunter peeps!

[MottotteShinji]

Anyone playing monster hunter here? if yes are you excited for Sunbreak? CAUSE I AM! I really love the series though I didn't like it when I was young, playing monster hunter freedom unite, eventually I played world and iceborne and fell in love with the Insect Glaive weapon, and when I was able to play rise on the switch.

I experimented on other weapons since I didn't want to waste money and play Insect Glaive all throughout the game. I went back to my og weapon of choice and that is Dual Blades and loved the feral demon mode, I tried Long Sword again (and still didn't like it) and included it on my montage, I tried the hardest weapon that is the Charged Blade and had a frustrating training arc but had fun whenever I managed to block shit, also tried the Hunting Horn which became my 3rd main weapon, I love farming apex monsters using the Light Bowgun.

Anyway... excited for the new switch skills for my 4 main weapons

Yeah, I love it. I use a sword and a shield and I just hope for the best.

EY! I liked the feel of using the S&S which I didn't think I would, the counter feels nice and satisfying to pull off especially with the akuma costume

Insect Glaive Main here. Started in world and clocked somewhere close to about 700-800 hours across PC and PS4. I like Rise a lot, but I don't have the same hype for it and Sunbreak as I did for World and Iceborne. I feel like having it developed for the switch has severely limited the possibilities and coming from the masterpiece that was Iceborne, it feels like a bit of a regression. Regardless, will be playing Sunbreak.

I, too, tried a PSP version of Monster Hunter and hated it (looking back, it's partially my fault for choosing the Hunting Horn which is NOT beginner friendly lol). I heard MH World was easier for newcomers, and bought it feeling a little reluctant — I ended up logging over 1000 hours including Iceborne, and then also getting the 4U haha.

Greatsword and Insect Glaive are my main weapons. I love the heaviness of the GS, being able to tackle through most attacks & the lightness of IG, and being able to jump/fly my way out of harm's way. Both of them are so satisfying to play. I tried learning the Switch Axe and the Longsword, but they never stuck with me.

I thought Rise okay, didn't play too long on it or felt the want to explore the map as I did with World or 4U. I'll still probably get Sunbreak since it's still a fun game.

couldn't really play world for hours since my pc has low specs the last time I played MHW was at the start of the dlc iceborne so I don't really have the same bias you have towards world I'm just glad I can play Sunbreak. and MHW actually fried my gpu sadly

can you explain to me what's the difference between it being on the PC and on Switch cause I didn't think there was a difference, and I really think rise is better

[MottotteShinji]

I love the damage numbers on the GS but heavy strikes are really aren't my thing I love mobile weapons like IG and DB. still I have high respect for heavy weapon mains

There are a lot of quality-of-life things that are generally just missing from Rise that was in World/IB. Additionally, the game is a heck of a lot shorter and a heck of a lot easier. There isn't really a mechanical difference per se, but overall, I feel like Rise didn't offer nearly as much as base World and definitely not close to Iceborne. This, I imagine has to do with the game begin developed for a much less powerful console, whereas PS4/Xbone are comparable to a PC

[MottotteShinji]

ow... I just saw the price difference and I don't think that's justified if rise is shorter than world

[descendantsofether]

For commparison, I think I had around 300 hours on base World alone. I finished Rise with about 45.

My fav is still mh xx for sheer content but I do like the qaulity of life stuff from mhw n rise
