Apparently not only is the endgame really thin at the moment, it doesn't even have an ending lmao

I got Lance and I'm going to be honest, I'm not following the Wheel's demand. no offence to the Lance boys but not my style.

I tried out the Swag Axe for the first time and it’s pretty cool. I probably have more than 500 hours across this game and World and I haven’t even tried even half of what’s available.
it's probably my favourite weapon in the series but haven't tried it much in Rise yet. forcing myself to learn other stuff

I keep wondering whether to put the game away for a while and play it again and get in really deep when the PC version + inevitable high rank expansio comes out next year. Endgame is kind of empty at the moment, suspect World was probably like this pre Iceborne

the world endgame was grinding for 0.01% drop rate decorations which was terrible. it's okay for a game to run out of content after 100 hours

If it makes me unhappy, it is not

I know more content is coming and post IB world did it really well imo but I'm a little concerned that MH might be tending towards the "live game" or "games as a service" model or whatever you call it. I trust them so far but yeah

I should just start buying Monster Hunter on PC if this is going to be how it releases from now on :(

Yeah I played a bit at launch but always figured I was better holding out for the PC versh lol. Hopefully they implement save transfer or something though.

Trying Long Sword for the first time and it's really not clicking with me, i van never remember what skills increase the gauge, what skills change its colour, what uses it up etc or what any of that does in combat on a moment to moment basis. Might go back to my World favourites Switch Axe and Insect Glaive, or my 4U Hunting Horn, but I feel like I should keep trying something new.

After 1606 days, I have climbed the mountaintop.



All hunts, all sidequests, all awards, all crowns.



After 2,495 successful hunts and countless more failed, I have achieved hunting nirvana.



Most used weapon is Charge Blade, as always, least used is Bow which is kinda trash in GU. My most hunted monster was Silverwind Nargacuga (86 times) and least hunted was a three way tie at 7 hunts between Chameleos (who is way better in Rise), Amatsu and Lao-Shan Lung.

It's been an incredible journey gamers. Thanks to every Imp hunter along the way who made this journey possible. And here's to another 2,495 hunts!

Want to see your hours played

new hunting horn owns so much. omg. shouting "the damage!" and hootin when I buff everyones crit chance

I've been trying it out and it feels like a completely different weapon, I kind of miss the old one. It was my main 4U weapon and it was really satisfying to get a good qttack/song pattern down, it feels a bit too easy now but is still fun

Goss Harang owns. Maybe my favourite new monster so far

OK insect glaive is fun but it takes twice as long to kill anything as my long sword lol, I feel like LS is pretty busted in this game. It has like three easy counters, dodges, great damage, mobility and basically everything else for the price of some pretty trivial setup.

I've never used long sword before but thought I'd try it in Rise since it fit the theme and all but I think it's ruined all the other weapons for me

grieving for Gandalf posted:

there's a switch art IG gets that really boosts your powered up ground combo that makes it really worth it imo in conjunction with great mobility but LS's counters are fantastic if you're good with them

Which art is that? I've unlocked the first two and don't really understand tetraseal slash, but I'm desperate to unlock the diving wyvern one. Kind of weird that the final switch arts per weapon are divided into different HR levels imo

Finished HR7, Narwa fight was fun if a bit too long/easy. Especially using the glaive which I think probably trivialised a lot of the mechanics involved in getting up to her face, getting to the artillery etc lol. Now for the real game

I used a mod to display monster health when I got into MHW endgame grinding, not sure I'll do the same in Rise because it definitely changes the feeling of hunts a lot

I like most of the quality of life changes but I kind of miss the sprawling levels of World. I know it's a Switch game and all but I liked exploring and finding cool stuff + the environmental interactions

Played this game this morning when my ritalin kicked in and accidentally played for six hours straight lol. Well I'm HR 40 now at least.

They really massacred my boys Teostra and Bazelgeuse from World huh. At least Kushala isn't a complete loving pain any more

Anyone else on PC finding the online really dead or just not working right? I put out join requests when I run a Rampage and have never had anyone join, I've looked for lobbies and see nothing comes up. It seems to have loads of players so I feel like something's not working right lol.

Also yes I'm posting this while still hyperfocusing on MH, I'm on the couch in the living room and not allowed a controller, I'm in a safe place. However I did three hunts trying to get an Anjanath gem because the Anjanath waist armour seems really useful for a good long sword build. I got the Chameleos LS and it seems great, most of the rest of my outfit is Rajang. I will never take off these amazing flares. Maybe I should get more Narwa stuff. Please someone help me

Beat Allmother Narwa and still haven't had a single triple cart lol, this is an easy game for MH. Looking forward to some of the challenge quests though

trying out Gunlance, it's a change from my usual super active mobile weapons... not sure about it. It seems to have some really sick combos though so I'm going to practice. My old friend switch axe is calling out to me though...

The gunlance full burst combo is the most satisfying thing in the game. Being able to sharpen with a guard point is the icing on the cake.

yeah I think I've nailed this now and it's great, it's basically an infinite too because you can just keep aerial attacking > slam > fullburst > swipe > quick reload > aerial attack > etc

It would have been nice to get at least one new monster before Sunbreak, I grinded until level 100, killed a Valstrax and made its sword snd then promptly put the game down until June when all that effort will be immediately redundant. Guess that's Monster Huntin life. I definitely have an issue with this style of game where if I don't have a clear goal ahead I immediately lose interest, can't really do the grinding forever for the sake of trying a new weapon thing or anything like that
