Also all the events are permanently added so there's a lot more hunts they've been dripfeeding to the game for a year now. Basically no event armor is a real bummer though, the only thing I don't really like about Rise.

Yeah there’s a good amount of event quests which range from fun cosmetics to “here’s a bunch of apex have fun dying”. It’s in a good spot right now but I think a bunch of us are on standby until Sunbreak. I’m still undecided of wether I want to keep up with Rice on Switch or just shelve it and switch to PC with the expectation of having the Steam Deck at some point next year for portable monhun.

Ah yes, Rise. Well, I've spent about 20 hours becoming capable of beating the demo boss in 15 minutes

Yorkshire Pudding posted:So how is Rise almost a year out? MH:W is one of my top 5 played games of all time, but the demo of Rise didn’t really grab me. Most of the weapons I used didn't feel as heavy or punchy compared to MHW. I thought maybe it was an issue of playing on the Switch and tried the demo out on Steam, but swinging a greatsword or jabbing a lance just feels so much better to me in World compared to Rise. Silk bind attacks were also interesting for a bit, but with certain weapons I realized I was just waiting for openings to spam them nonstop and not really using the weapon to its fullest, otherwise. I also didn't find the levels in Rise were anywhere as immersive or fun to explore. That said I am a fan of horrible mazes like the ancient forest and genuinely like the busywork of chasing scoutflies and picking up tracks so idk maybe my brain is just melted. I'm still buying Sunbreak and there's a good chance I buy it all over again for PC cause I'm a Monster Hunter degenerate at this point.

Rise was fun enough, and I like most of the new monsters, but "Big Bad" Magnamalo is just trying way too hard to be Zinogre 2.0 and... it's kinda not very interesting.

I don't think I've ever seen a fall off in enthusiasm as great as I have for Rise. None of my usual MH peeps are talking at all about Sunbreak, and they stopped playing a while ago. Hell, a lot of them even went back to modded World/Icborne. Some were originally considering double-dipping for PC, but it's radio silence.

That's probably because it's over 6 months away and we don't know anything about it other than two monsters.

I'm already committed to double dipping on PC and will get Sunbreak there when it is available, personally. I really liked Rise, but I didn't keep up with the events on switch because other things came up. Magnamalo isn't really at the top of my favorite monsters list, but I always like to see non-winged flagship monsters, and it's still a cool monster regardless.

rise isn't a game-as-a-service so maybe people don't talk about it as much right now because it's not constantly cycling in events that give you mostly irrelevant rewards

Could also be Rise's more humane deco/charm creation set up. World HR gave you some bad reasons to grind.

You will reset 100 times for a Mini Crown Velocidrome that you try to guess visually and you will like it.

I hit the 500-hour mark for World+Iceborne this past weekend, spread out over about two years. I sunk 250 hours into Rise and that was base game over a few months. Rise is good y'all. I did just pick up MHGU though, but I'm not diving in just yet because I know that's 1000 hours of my life to look forward to.

Do GU G-rank before Rise G-rank IMO. GU is amazing in a way that overlaps with Rise and you don't want Sunbreak robbng you of that 1000 hours of MH fun (350 hours for me, btw).

My only MH experience is World and Rise, and I slightly prefer Rise. It's a much cleaner, simpler experience with a lot of the cruft shaved down. It was a lot easier for me to discern the different town and equipment mechanics in Rise than it was in World. Not to say it's complicated in World, but rather it's just cleaner and easier to figure out what does what in Rise. World is really great and looks amazing, but Rise just feels a little smoother? I dunno Rise also has the Wirebug and Palamute, which are incredible

Rise takes the cake because you can actually just play it with your friends immediately, no Cutscene syncing rubbish.

Bigger hub player counts are the only thing I miss. But there's so much that Rise does right, it's a tiny loss.

Yeah not only does it have a guard point it's a better attack if you guard an attack with it, it is a very good skill.

SyntheticPolygon posted:Sword and Shield is sick in Rise tbh. And that's only mostly because of the shoryu. I've enjoyed it quite a bit but for whatever reason I think I liked the GU move set more. I think the fluidity of SNS was more pronounced in a game without wirebug mobility options. Also the ability to silk dodge + potion makes weapon unsheathed item use way less cool by comparison. But the elemental drill slash is very visceral and satisfying and walking around precise position to keep your offensive up nonstop is still a great knowledge goal. Having a blast with it. I been trying to do at least 50 hunts with every weapon, what's the most OP cheater gun LBG setup imaginable when I get to that one. Haven't really looked into it much but I just assume RF pierce will always be the king.
