The Loop Hero demo is super deceptive anyway. It's really fun, but right after the demo ends progression hits a wall and slows by at least 90-95%. Other un-fun mechanics are introduced too, like having to constantly juggle items to the top of your inventory because all of a sudden you need to keep backup items.

Phlegmish posted:Good tips, I like the sound of dual blades, I will forge some and keep the defender hammer for later. Oh yeah I totally forgot about the Defender weapons/Guardian armor, should probably give you a heads-up on that. Those were added into the base game after the expansion launched to give players a way to blitz through the base content, basically skipping any farming/crafting and kind of trivializing everything up to Iceborne. The weapons are a little stronger than what you'd normally have access to, so it's up to you if you want to use them, but I'd personally not recommend using the armor. It has very high defense but also has some kind of boring, tanky skills attached to it, so you miss out on the fun of experimenting with different skills, and by the time you outgrow it you'll be used to surviving hits that would normally kill you & it's gonna be pretty jarring

Well, there's the bandits who can randomly delete one of your equipped items. I'll say that I ended up not liking Loop Hero, every run eventually gets to a point where I'm encountering enemies every step, which is extremely annoying because I can't just minimize the fight I have no input in to continue the little building puzzle. So it just becomes an idle game that I have to actively pay attention to that also forces me to sit and wait for the right times to be able to do anything. It isn't helped by the fact that I've had many runs end in death because super powerful enemies spawned one step in front of my guy.

Master rank is generally a worse experience than high rank so rushing there doesn’t need to be a priority for a first time player anyway

Defender gear was initially added right around Iceborne's launch, and was more or less intended to either help players catch up with their friends to get through the expansion together when it was new or allow experienced players to easily burn through old content on a new character/platform without third party tools.

That.. that sounds like the complete antithesis of the series' design philosophy. Jesus, imagine someone's first impression of the game is steamrolling all the way through high rank without even needing to learn how to properly handle their weapons.

Yeah, it kinda killed the game for me even though I know I could just ignore the OP gear and play the game like normal. The fact that something better existed made it not fun to play. I am guessing it is the same kind of brain worms based around playing a game in a completely unfun way because it was the most efficient.

Phlegmish posted:Booted up Monster Hunter World for the first time yesterday. I like the look of things, seems like a whimsical game that doesn't take itself too seriously. The one thing that's making me apprehensive is that being I could never get around how much you lose control over your character and how the movesets work in Monster Hunter at all, I never got used to it and hated how fighting worked. Also the first map was confusing as heck, the map was barely useful and you have to follow glitter trails all day until you can manage to find something somehow related. The monsters themselves looked and behaved pretty awesome though. I couldn't get over the controls and gave up however.

I always struggle with the combat in these console ports, it just feels so clunky and slow (others would say deliberate), and I get unreasonably frustrated. But it's probably on me for picking the comically oversized hammer as my first weapon.

honestly being told there's an instant set of all weapons readily available for buying the expansion for monster hunter world has made me more interested than ever before in picking it up, because boy do fans like to talk up the fact there's 12 different weapons each with their own unique playstyle for you to choose from, but neglect to mention that if you ever get bored of what you're using and want to try something new you've got to start over from scratch building it from 30 dinosaur asses

I don't know if "jank" is the right word, but let's be real: people play MH because they want to slay giant monsters. NOT run around for 30 minutes trying to figure out where the stupid loving monster is in the first place, or where it fled to after you did sufficient amount of damage to it. I dipped my toes into Dauntless briefly and I liked how it removed a lot of that sort of "extraneous" crap from MH but ultimately I hated just how in-your-face it is about what you could've gotten from a hunt if only you paid for the premium service.

Put me in as a voice of dissent, I enjoyed the act of hunting the monster on top of, y'know, hunting it. It's a nice touch of realism and keeps it from being a boss-rush arena thing which I would hate.

Cardiovorax posted:With the type of game that Monster Hunter is, I suppose most people just consider it a given. Where other games have level-ups and skill points, Monster Hunter has weapons. If you want to suddenly switch to another character class in most RPGs, of course you'll have to start over, so it's not exactly an upsetting concept. yeah, monster hunter world is a game i'm very conflicted on because on the one hand i love the actual second to second combat, but i virulently hate all the repetition and 500 extraneous menus and subsystems it's buried under

Lol, this really feels like "huh, some people seem very interested in various porn mods for Skyrim, so what if we made a Skyrim-clone where all those porn mods are integrated in basic gameplay, maybe it will be successful" the game.

For people who dislike the monster tracking part of Monster Hunter but enjoy the Monster Hunting part, I would recommend God Eater 3. It's basically exactly that: getting right to the killing part of the game without much fuss or walking in circles.

Few things less fun than failing a hunt when you're new because you couldn't kill it in time after struggling to find it in the first place.

it also might be that like a lot of the layers of cruft in monster hunter world, the tracking system in monster hunter is poorly explained, if at all. all you need to do is eat footprints until your bees decide to fly to the monster. there's some other poo poo surrounding it but that's legit all you need to know about it.
