Just KO'd Rathian during her flying lunge by cracking her skull with a superpound, and god drat I love Hunting Horn. Also bagged my first Savage Deviljho with Horn, so that's another fight where I no longer have to switch to Lance :woop:

So if everyone is happy, I'm going to make the new OP Monday morning. Here's where it stands after feedback.

And I guess we need a new thread title, at least as a placeholder until some inside joke changes it. Suggestions?

Looks great, but poor SnS: "shield sucks but you can use items". How about : "Very mobile weapon with fast and fluid combos. Only weapon that can use items with the weapon drawn."? Or something more positive that describes what is can do rather than its drawbacks?

Nitpicking though, it's a great OP.

OP looks good! This is more a personal choice, but I think the weapon names should always be capitalized, as if they were proper nouns. There are a few points in the OP where a weapon name is capitalized mid-sentence and I think it reads better. Odd as it is, the weapons in this game are basically characters and it feels like they should be capitalized.

I'll probably play with English voices on the first time through so that I don't have to read subtitles mid-hunt when they're saying story/gameplay-relevant stuff, but the character quips are going straight to 0%. The quips just seem so mean. Like, this is a game about humans being very mean, but it feels less lighthearted when your character is yelling "YOU'RE GONNA loving DIE" every 5 seconds.

Oh wow! I was looking to possibly get a pro controller but if the 8bitdo adapter works well enough with a PS4 controller I'm up for trying that. Is this the one?

yeah that's the one I have. had a little trouble getting it working at first but after updating the firmware it's worked flawlessly since. note it won't wake up the switch from sleep mode because nintendo doesn't let 3rd party controllers do that. been using it for pc too, no problems just moving it back and forth as needed.

Heads up 8bitdo is releasing a new controller (the pro 2) like a week after Rise launches. Check it out as it seems to be a solid improvement with tons of features (mainly back buttons and fully customizable buttons with macro support)

Oh, nice! Good to know; yeah that customization software looks really robust and the back buttons would be a nice addition for this. Thanks!
