Lo, there do I see rathalos. Lo, there do I see rathian, and zinogre, and diablos. Lo, there do I see the line of my homies, back to the beginning. Lo, they do call to me. They bid me take my place among them on the couch to hunt monsters, and game with them forever!

Q: What does this mean for my horoscope?
“To put it simply, there are major forces at work beyond your control. Things may seem funky for a bit, time slowing, perhaps the frog appearing in retrograde. Perhaps consider reaching out to others, empaths in the tarot and divination communities will be feeling the flux too.”


so yeah, sounds like its temporary, hang in there imps!

Traditionally in this series, you're the whipping boy - for the first few dozen hours at least - as you get knocked this way and that by all number of beautiful beasts. In Monster Hunter Rise, however, you are OP AF, and I am 100 per cent for it.

It's not so much that the monsters here are a pushover, and more that Rise is willing to push you through it all with a bit more pep and pace than seen in previous games - here you'll be going head to head with new signature beast Magnamalo when an earlier entry would still have you ferrying eggs from one end of the map to another. Hunts are quicker, too - even the later enemies unlocked after the credits roll, itself done after some 20 hours, can be felled in just over 10 minutes if you've half an idea what you're doing. Is that a problem for a series where endurance and hard-edged challenge has often been part of the make-up? Maybe for some but most certainly not for me - and anyway, the reason these things go down so much quicker is because you the player are so much more dynamic than ever before, with so much more in your arsenal.

if the monsters have particularly low hp or damage values, i’ll just use less powerful gear

its not that so much, i like feeling like i'm building an arsenal of weapons and really figuring out each monster. idk i'm just being retarded

neo from the matrix type character who can see through all of the bullshit. time with the family is just a kill 10 jagis quest. restaurant wasnt as good as you hoped? well they just mistimed the cooking animation but dont worry, itll still give a slight though not as significant stamina boost. weddings and funerals, unskippable cut scenes. and the only reason you cant communicate effectively with any coworkers, loved ones, or even store cashiers is because they also speak an indecipherable language

when finally presented with the equipment box, I decided on Sword and Shield. Let the journey begin. Does this game have a guild or any kind of in game networking system.

theres an old-school guild hub for online quests, village quests are offline. this is old-school monster hunter and the game kicks rear end yall

It's not but one of the reviews said there were tests or something you could complete to skip through Hub ranks after getting to a certain point in Village ranks.

maybe the day one patch changed that, it looks like it is for me

man, ive played 30 hours since friday and this game fuckin kicks rear end. they learned all the right lessons from world and cut the bullshit parts. all the weapons ive played feel dynamic and interesting and the switch skills are the best version of generations' customize your hunter poo poo, they brought back a ton of the personality and charm, and the new monsters are really good except somnocanth. bipping around on wirebugs and running up walls and stuff is great, and the levels feel like theyve got a ton of personality and hidden bits. imo this is mechanically the best monster hunter

i really need to check out bow, i never did in previous games because of the armor split but them getting rid of that is making it tempting. also pablo, you should check out gs, it's way more mobile than you think and the damage is so insanely good

yeah! the grinding is imo the best part of the game because learning how to fight monsters and use weapons better is really fuckin fun and building sets is wicked cool. monster hunter is a journey, not a destination
