Performance aside

hammer got a new big bonk so im happy
sns got the perfect rush combo removed so im not happy
gs leans a bit more into combos instead of only TCS spam but i rarely play with gs so w/e
gunlance seems a lot more combo oriented now
dual blades lets you play as someone from attack on titan

Movement felt good. Biggest concern was hitting the monsters feels worse than World to me. Not sure if it's the sound effects or what

sns got the perfect rush combo removed so im not happy

No it didn't

I've been playing MH since 2009, and this feels like the first proper fusion between old and new. I very much look forward to the G-rank expansion.

Kind of sad they didn't bring back the HH spin attack. I mean it's kind of mindless but it was fun

even more casualized than world

It's a shame, I really like the aesthetic and how the basic sword mode moveset feels but the buff system feels so tacked on.
I just tried Gunlance and the comparison is just silly.

Reload, short animation, gives back all your stuff

you can burst now, and burst again because you get a free reload during your burst

repeat

Meanwhile Charge Blade:

build sword energy

convert to phials into shield buff

build sword energy again

convert to phials again, optionally add sword buff

pop a wound or get a perfect block to get savage axe buff

now you can burst - oh wait by now the monster has run away so you can chase it while your buffs run out and you can reapply the buffs AGAIN before buiilding phials AGAIN in the new location

bow

GOATed

charge blade

Switch Axe

Greatsword

I don’t care about the rest.

Yeah but the echo fields are pretty cool and maybe being able to club shit mid-recital will make up for it

I liked it

runs fine on my machine :)

The combat feels very weak. I think it's because there is barely any hitstop, it feels like I'm hitting air.

a lot of the slower weapons feel better with the focus system, and attacking wounds makes the game easier. or at least this is how the beta felt; I’m assuming these are all weak low rank monsters. the new guard and parry changes are good; picking up items with the grapple is cool. visually the game looks good and the small details like endemic life and weather effects are great. the foliage is awful and the game has a lot of performance issues. the character and mount movement outside of combat is incredibly sluggish and the mount controls are frustrating or lazy depending on what you’re trying to accomplish. character creator is ok, some improvements some losses. the multiplayer ui and systems are awful, worse than rise. the map is ugly but you get used to it. fighting the thunder wyvern was pretty cool, the red mau or whatever it was I already forgot the name

tldr not as seamless or refined as world, but most of the weapons feel better and you have more control over your accuracy and less wasted attacks with the focus system. game seems easy atm

I'm not really sure how I feel about the bow, it was fun to use but phials just feel like an APM tax now instead of something to actually think about and ration (even if it didn't really take that much thought before), having a whole meter for just tracer arrows seemed kind of pointless and the homing effect from the tracer seems like it oversimplifies the weapon.

is this HDR shenanigans or is the image really that washed out

Gunlance feels like it got the changes it always needed. You're less likely to be forced into reload, stake or whatever and generally feels smoother to play. IG is weird at first but I like the direction they've took. Extract has always been an awkward thing of just stop and do it so you can keep playing. But now there is more of a loop to it of get extract, charge, focus attack, etc. I'd like more ways to spend extract if this is the future and charge to be less awkward. Also fuck aerial style it was always bad. Lance and SnS are, fine. Feels like they've been kept in line and attempted to refocus some centralising stuff like perfect rush. But yeah mostly the same.

Not entirely sold on the "open world" cause it kind of just feels like a world map. I wish the areas felt more distinct but fighting on a proper big sand dune with a monster that can collapse the area is pretty neat.

the game follows your windows color management settings unless you edit it. a lot of people have fucked up windows settings.

Completely hated it at since IG felt worst to control than pretty much every game including 4, though that was a skill issue since it relies on the new focus mode stuff now.

Then why can’t I SAED spam like a brainless retard anymore?
I actually enjoyed that and you fucking niggers took it away. I’m glad everything you love in gaming is ruined.

Seems good, the new controls for IG are weird

what didn’t you like about hammer? I liked the changes as it was less about spamming max charge and slide jumps. now I can spam head smashes and none of them miss anymore just because I can’t turn my character, thanks to the focus system. the 2-stage charge into attack spam is a lot faster than it used to be also. it feels like I have more movement and reaction window

I don't understand. I had to have research on a monster in the Guiding Lands to know when it arrived. Now there's a huge map and I get to notifications for every monster's exact location by default?
Please tell me this is just for the beta.

well they brought paintballs back so who knows

I think they only serve for something like Doshaguma so you know which one you are actually hunting

30 fps

No changes from World

All monsters are shit

Early PS3 graphics

No MH language

Is this the worst game of all time?

What did they do to the hammer ?

i don't even know what that is

Suck Ass Eat Dicks

I dont get the complains regarding IG. It feels great once you understand the charge attacks. Previous IG got very quickly boring and the air game has always been just a meme outside of SB.

fugg you are right. should have spent more time with it then

Bro does not know what he is talking about

unaware of basic MH terminology

confidently shitposts about how the newest MH game is casualized

Peak Anon Babble

So which weapon actually does revolve around perfect blocks and counters? Because every time I look up a guide for some weapon that can proc those power contest animations they don't really get used. "Just dodge bro."

It's entirely too early to be saying anything about difficulty. I swear this happens every single new entry.

you have to master every single weapon in the game in order to tell whether it's good or not

sorry nigga i don't play charge blade and never will. game is still bad.

I don't like the open world aspects of it, it's pointless when all you do is push one button and your mount auto runs to the monster for you. Also doesn't help that the environment looks atrociously ugly.

I look up a guide

Lance duh

CB.

Hey man, good luck figuring out Charge Blade with the in-game guide (that has errors).

Its VERY different between what weapon you used

Gunlance users are ecstatic that the weapon just got buffed and fun tools but kept its identity

Long Sword got new strong tools, but lost its identity and honestly feels even more braindead

Insect Glaive butchered, the new style is a charge weapon where you get extracts just to spend them on a super move and repeat

Then Focus Mode feels like one step from a Dark Souls lock-on system.

You are retarded

return to form

You're smart and correct

I'm just messing around with different weapons, liking it so far. Want to play the release with a friend, he had 300 hours in world but when we tried this beta, for some reason, he seems to complain how he's barely able to hit anything, which is kinda strange since he has a lot of hours on world. Should be obvious how important positioning is to hit stuff in monster hunter games.

20+ hours with the beta. I liked it a lot. I had a blast.
I played charge blade and bow mostly but did try every weapon.

he seems to complain how he's barely able to hit anything,

I hear this from vets too much to just brush it off. I think it's something like the color gradient fucking with people's depth perception.

Gunlance feels fucking excellent, losing Blast Dash stings, but I'll get over it
shame they removed the guard point on wyvernblast too

hitting a wound is easy and it’s basically a free stagger

The basic combos feel like shit to use

Disliking the heavy reliance on focus strikes.

Best combat I have ever seen
Just take a look at this

It makes me wish worlds gameplay wasn't so dogshit, all the weapons feel better. I just hope the optimize it comes release.

I really enjoyed it, I can see why people say it's been heavily casualised, but I don't really care.
I'd take the wounds/focus over the clutch claw any days.
I'm not a fan on the base camp though. The performances already suck a lot, but having the whole region "loaded" because you can "seemlessly" go out to hunt, it's bad.

Not that anon, but the only change I'm not really happy about is spinning bludgeon no longer activating off of charging and releasing while moving. On paper, it's a good change, since it prevents you from using it when you're charge walking to the head while a monster is down and you don't come to a complete stop, but I also liked to use bludgeon as a combo of movement and damage at times.

How do I play GL? It was the weapon that got me into the series during FU, but I never really got the hang of it. I decided to try it out in Wilds and found out it was fun as fuck to play but I was mainly just doing random shit and would like to figure out combos and whatnot.

I've tried out Hammer, GL, Bow, and SnS this far. Plan to beat up rock frog with every weapon at least once to see how they play. Bow is interesting, the tracers and fuse arrows exploding when you hit them with dragon piercer/thousand dragons reminds me of the way bow played in Wild Hearts. SnS is just plain fun to me, I like the reposition attacks and the new toys, though I think Oils should have made a comeback.

Judging by their drops, everything except the initial intro quest monster you kill is at their high rank version. I was getting high rank bones and + parts from the ones I was killing.

MH is now a third person shooter

what happened?

gameplay is fun, I think wound attacks are too strong, and you shouldn't be able to do 360's while in focus mode, keep attack reorientation down to what it can do naturally. I also really hate seeing a bazillion hunters in the tiny ass village. Also don't love blending of the maps with the village, having the game split into 2 distinct modes of the hunt and the preparation for the hunt made the villages much cozier. while not needing to fully represent itself in the game world because it existed in a separate space from the hunting locales.

I really fucking love that you can hold attack while mounted with a lance and pretend to joust. this is all I've wanted out of a mount system.

poke the glowing monster penis for massive damage

this is it
the best monster hunter combat ever

yeah i dont like the wound system, this is casual normie shit bordering on cinematic gameplay

Palico is actually distracting as hell with voice acting enable.
I can still hear it that raaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh line when mine attacks and its so frequent its almost meme tier.

the new charge move on IG

Nah this weapon goes hard now

Worlds? KB+M turned the game into a TPS.

How do I play GL

in wilds? so far I've just spammed the upward swing (triangle +circle), overhead smash, wide sweep into the wyvernstake combo, and if the opening is big enough after the second wyvern stake you go into wyvern fire. you can get to the overhead smash pretty fast if you're good at timing perfect guards, or you can get to the wide sweep by just spamming the regular stabs, after the 3rd you'll do the wide sweep.

its the parts system from all the other games but with a new gimmick that you can poke a certain part for extra damage.

only move that does somewhat decent damage

use up your extracts if you use the follow up

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>focus mode

worse than the clutch claw. it's hilarious that the best players just leave focus mode on 100% of the time now.
GAME RUINING feature. I'm not buying this, just like I didn't buy Iceborne after World.

You can turn it off

Except they still have dialogue so you're just getting entire sentences spoken with a single meow

Wow very cool

maddy babby ;)

Good.
Stay out.

combat is pure slog

naw clutch claw was worse because you basically HAD to use it just to get regular hitzones on monsters, focus mode helps with aiming attacks but if you aren't a shitter you don't need to reorient so wildly on every attack.

Lance, CB and LS off the top of my head. Lane and LS blocks are not hard and CB is a bit tougher but more of an accessory than a required thing to be good.

if you aren't a shitter you don't need it

the best players are leaving it on 100% of the time, there's no reason not to.
THIRD PERSON AIMING IN 3D ACTION GAMES is a completely retarded, shitty idea and there's a reason actually good actions games never used it

It's Monster Hunter. I like it a lot. Can't wait for the release.

seems to be excellent

Fucking bullshit you goddamn retard. They eliminated all commitment from attacks and the glasses slut refills your entire fucking inventory every time.
Beyond braindead.

Overpowered as usual (not even worth mentioning)

Outright shit in wilds

Sword and Shield

Focus Mode is the new Clutch Claw:

game-ruining feature

defended by drones

years later, they will admit it was shit

le best streamer metafags are using it! it's mandatory!

lmao point and laugh at this retard

LEAVE THE CORPORATION ALONE

Go back to plebbit tranoid

How are the KBM controls?

the sweatiest players are using every tool at their disposal

wow no way? good thing you aren't one of those, and don't need to feel like you NEED to use the system at all times. yeah it's too good, but you are in control of the buttons you press and the only advantage you get is something that can be mitigated by being good at MH, unlike the clutch claw

This, I would at least like to see it come back on the faster version of wyvernfire.

Is switchaxe still brain dead tier like in Rise? If so, the game is shit.

You also defended Clutch Claw saying the same thing. lmfao

no skills & no progression

Look at that, just like your real life. You must feel very represented, anon!

It feels like a step backward from Rise I guess but I still had fun with Swax and Gunlance.

my 4060 (kek) cant maintain a smooth framerate even with DLSS on.
Apparently the performance on console is shit too.

Sucks because I was looking forward to the game.

Anon Babble is one person

good thing to know wilds haters are schizophreniacs

the sweatiest players are using Clutch Claw

wow no way? good thing you aren't one of those, and don't need to feel like you NEED to use the system at all times. yeah it's too good, but you are in control of the buttons you press and the only advantage you get is something that can be mitigated by doing more damage elsewhere

naw clutch claw was worse because you basically HAD to use it just to get regular hitzones on monsters

If you really think this game won't have monsters like that too you're a retard

retard threatens to not play the game

ok

and yet everyones dreaming of going back to world now

in what way will focus mode mitigate bouncing off a monster because you haven't used a clunky gimmick in the last few minutes

seethe more

everyone

I would rather floss my ass with barbed wire

Only complaint so far is monsters seem to run away giga fucking fast, which was always an annoying facet of these games if you were too slow at killing or unable to stun lock etc. but it feels like after maybe 40 seconds of fighting the Monster wants to fuck off already.

Game runs pretty well on a 12700k & 3070ti Combo also, was worried about the requirements but it seems to be a non-issue and I don't think I touched a single setting to make it run well.

Oh i didn't even notice. Maybe I wasn't doing the follow up, it usually ended with the the vertical ground spin slam

I somewhat understand the complaint about the reduced hit stops but I don't entirely agree that the impacts feel bad or that the game feels floaty at all.
Like, the little head jiggle Chata does from getting a swing on the face feels feels satisfying af.

palico always had dialogue.

with no skills

I know the average reading level of most posters here is sub kindergarten level but you get a few different sets that have different armor skills

Another weeb loser playing with his personalized waifu

I dont see any issues with focus mode.

knock the obvious big rocks above onto the monster

i hate it so much

Nta but not true. Overtime you just pick up in these terms through discussion and just playing the game. Not that I'd expect someone with under a 100 hours to understand

No true fan of the GL would EVER want that gimmicky abomination that is blast dash back. Leave that to the shit Rise-type games with no relevant terrain features.

Just take a look at this

Looks like dogshit. Just mashing buttons to have your hunter shit in a monster for free. Goddamn retard, you're the reason this game is sloppage now.

nooo the video game is too video gamey reeeeee save me niggerman

kill yourself

Switch axe has always been kinda braindead tier tbf

You have to see the retardation that is the DB when hitting wounds. Beyond plays itself

people probably don't change the brightness settings when you open the game and then go on to complain the game is washed out
the game looks way better than that webm for me

So with Charge Blade, if I have the Savage Axe buff, do I even want to go back into Sword mode to build phials? Or do I just use Triangle combo on Axe mode until the buff runs out?

i am aware that it's a charge blade move. i'm over 30 and had a psp on launch day.

I like the new gameplay stuff, but am I missing something? There are really only 4 different monsters on the demo and nothing to do in the Base Camp? What's even the point of killing the monsters or gathering their material?
No training area, no upgrades, no new armor. If a new player plays this beta without any monster hunter experience he'll have a pretty shitty view of this series

Plays Wild demo

Got hard knocked down by monsters

Call chicken to recover mid air and run away while drinking potion

You can do this infinitely

Literally better and unlimited wirefall

kek, returning monsters won't stand a chance in this game. A lot of them like Rajang rely on exploiting knock down trap to do damage. What a shitter mechanic.

Glaive bros...what are our thoughts..

I'm having conflicted thoughts about it. It's more emphasized in spending the essences and gaining them back, and the dive is weird to do. I really feel the lack of the helicopter bounce, but I hate the fact that you need all 3 essences to get the real moveset instead of just the red one
Also tried the dual blades and those are great, probably the best DBs ever
can barely run it in ps1 mode with my i5 8400 but it will get better right?

Well, your mom doesn't see any issues with you either, doesn't mean you're not a retarded failure faggot to everyone else

after the first charge attack with all three essences you can do a follow up by holding focus mode and press the same buttons again. It will consume your full buff but depending on how the kinsect hits you can get it back instantly again. Alternative you can just use the focus attack out of it in air and if you hit a wound regain the full buff. Since you can charge while performing actions you can do stuff like grounded charge attack, vault and start to recharge, do e.g. an air dodge and do yet another charge attack. For me this feels like a massive improvement as it gives the weapon more dynamic compared to the previous infinite spamming or in SB aerial poking. Having kinsect charge back feels also great.

Ironically playing around focus mode with KBM is way better than controller.
Otherwise the keybinds are mostly okay, just some nonsensical shit like special action like guarding on R for some reason.
I had to swap out a bunch of them but it was pretty quick.

Load the game

instant chase sequence

try to control my character

is running on a rail

put the controller down

character runs and dodges things automatically

meanwhile I hear some loli voice

it's my palico

uninstall

Yep, it's over.

Tell it to me straight, bros
Will I ever get good enough to reliably use the Hammer triple pound as a counter?

Already did. Return to World 2025,26,27, and 28 baby.

I noticed when slapping the bear ass with my horn it would jiggle.

KEK, nothing but facts

lmao it really do be like that

I like the changes but I haven't played enough of the game yet, have you played Rise? It feels pretty similar to IG there
But getting all three essences when you use focus mode feels too easy

wow anon compelling argument.
since you out it this way I now see your way…NOT!
lmao seethe moar nigger.

Counter your non existent masculinity by triple pounding your balls with a hammer and then come back

Don't worry they'll just give everyone oneshot nukes and touch of death combos to compensate, just like World and especially Rise did.

meanwhile I hear some loli voice

it's my palico

this really took me out of it, the voice didn't match my palico at all

STAND BACK, I'M RETURNING TO FORM

Gameplay is pretty good. Some weapon changes are questionable, others are great.
Gunlance is 10/10, IG and CB are just fucking stupid now.

Remember when Rise got made fun of for the glowing red weak points?

Its like when square fucked up the moogle voice in dissidia NT. Something just don't need improvement. The palico was one of them.

It's so retarded. I refuse to engage with this bastardization of MH

if GS couldn't do this it would currently be the worst weapon in the game. TCS barely matters anymore. GS is now a combo / offset counter weapon. Deal with it.

really like what they did with the SnS, allowing you to move while slashing made using items while the weapon is out actually make sense. plus more combos and ok to decent damage makes it a fun weapon.

tfw 2060 + 2600X

Go on without me, hunterbros...

not really, no

Clutch claw sucked cause every weapon had to similar stuff just to make it so one part of a monster took normal damage. Focus mode still has you playing the weapon normally, you still get zits without it if you hate using it that much and the focus attack to cash out just means your weapon has another unique tool.

Youre not missing anything.

turn on felyne voice

play GS

you niggers realize you can adjust their speech in the character creator to their original language.

yes anon more mobility in the attacks was a thing revealed in the showcase. try taking your sweet time like that against Rey Dau. he’ll one shot with his lighting.

The problem with Focus Mode is the freeaim feature you can leave on 100% of the time. Wounding is nothing compared to that

back in the day gs couldn't do it and was still one of the best weapons because the games were good.

GS is now a combo / offset counter weapon. Deal with it.

I'll deal with it by playing IC for 5 more years

attack reach feels a lot better now too, in older games it feels like you're waving a toothpick, now the blade looks bulkier and feels like its going farther on attacks.

It's literally an improved version of world. Unfortunately it runs like shit on my pc (rtx3060/r5 5600x), I can barely get 30fps on 1440p resolution. Hopefully they address this issue, not that I will be able to play at launch or to afford new components for my pc... it is what it is.

no, and i don't give a shit

Do you niggers know that this wasn't a thing in the past titles? Why the fuck is it a thing now? Who the fuck asked for it? No seriously I need to know so I can curb stomp them.

the most skillful weapon

I forgot that the kinsect attacks with you in focus mode fuck
No haven't played rise, the ultra japanese setting kinda drives me away but maybe I will until wilds comes out

it is pretty sad to see things turn out this way, but I don't know why you all were expecting something different. I can only assume most doomposters started with World because everyone else is used to this gradual casualization.

weird way to say they made player hitboxes complete bullshit to further casualize this pile of shit

take world

remove every color except brown and yellow

improved

Been playing since MHFU. I thought they could never come up with something worse than the Clutch Claw. I was wrong.

afflicted? no, I don't.
It's a good mechanic after getting used to only attack tails and heads and Rise didn't introduce it

black people can't read

How do you go from this
youtu.be/48K7bj7UJx8
To this
youtu.be/2qLbtXh45d4
To THIS?!?!
youtu.be/nPO6sAaEJ2A

I think it's very fun. I enjoyed the changes AND it runs great on my machine.

Post Ray Dau times.

The Alpha is obviously bigger anon.

I'll handicap myself and do 30 minute hunts by ignoring this core mechanic, that'll show those elitists!

muh casualized

its fun anon. do you not like fun? Im having a blast with the beta.

every industry is gradually losing talent

But you chose the voice. They have multiple voices, male and female, and you can even choose the default meowing cat voice.

he wont.

if any hornfags are worried in the wake of rise, don't be
wilds horn is fuckin F U N

Blast Dash was at least really practical, allowing you to gap close really and lay on a slam burst while you're at it, its fine without it, but it was much more usable than the charged shelling, which was your only other choice
the rest like bullet barrage, hailcutter and all that shit can stay dead and buried

Not him but God damn Ray Day has a lot of hp. Took me and a friend 35 minutes of beating the fuck out of him.

It's just not a problem though. You don't have to use it to get wounds, using it doesn't completely change how your weapon functions. If you don't really like using it at worst you'll be adding a little to your times if you only go into it for focus attack. With or without it you're still playing your weapon normally. Compared to it being mandatory that you go hump a part of a monster just to do normal damage? Which greatly extends your times if you don't actively keep up? It's a quirk at worst.

J-just ignore it

This cope didn't work for clutchclaw, won't work for focus mode
lol

ignores the fact that the game plays itself

focuses on felyn comment instead

It really is over...

yes but maybe you don't want to hunt the Alpha or you encounter a different Alpha

I forgot that the kinsect attacks with you in focus mode fuck

Haven't tested that enough but it feels kinda shitty to use, but if you hold L2/LT for the focus mode and press R1/RB on a weak spot you get all three essences which was what I was talking about

the tri music sounds too lively and colorful. needs to be one note to match the one color on the screen.

Rise beta was fun too. And Rise was fun for a while. But then after a hundred hours you realize that when combat is so streamlined, you just end up brainlessly autopiloting through every hunt. When you have zero downtime and all monster attacks are easily countered, your flowchart never gets broken and you never have to think about anything you're doing.

HH offset attack requires a four note melody

My brain is not big enough for this shit

The game played itself because it was the opening sequence, it's not like that in the real game

I'm having a blast too, its a real return to form!

Yeah and you can also chain that from the charged attack that spends the charges, looks really cool

The mount auto tracking thing was in World and Rise. You can opt to not use it. But let me guess, you're offended by the mere existence of it?

Rise was fine, released unfinished. Sunbreak inflation fetish bloated the game into oblivion.

Dismount attack, echo bubble and input the missing three notes during the bubble animation
It's not that bad to queue

I like some of the changes made to some of the weapons but until I can actually mess with builds it's a glorified demo to showcase minor updates to weapon movesets. I want to see if they added more creative skills to sets because fuck meta fuck attack and crit up give me weird little skills like bubble dance and dungmaster. I really want them to get more creative with the different pods and crafting as well. My biggest concern is that there won't be a legitimate cantina for actual skills but I know they wont do that. The field grilling and the cat and other things are cute, we may get more camp customization and putting little critters around camp. They should include missions where you capture ecology guys to populate the camp so people can learn you can go out and catch them.

That sounds pretty cool, I didn't know about that, will test it

Game has a 2 minute on rails action scene in the tutorial

Retard disingenuously pretends thats the whole game for some reason

If you don't really like using it at worst you'll be adding a little to your times

Am I in an actual timeloop now? Idiots gave the same exact excuses for the claw.

Their "dialogue" was never accompanied by any spoken mewing, nor did they ever speak during cutscenes. They were for all intents and purposes, silent with cat themed grunts.

I can't wait to see what other special melodies there are
offset is already really nice

Performance aside

that's not how it works, this shit runs atrociously for how scuffed it looks and it gets way worse in actual multiplayer hunts somehow. This drags down the gameplay enjoyment immensely. I was retarded enough to give Sunbreak a chance, but I will skip wilds if they don't pull a 180 on this abomination

Charging shield gives bonus damage and phial effects to any attacks that use it, including savage axe.
It is a severing weapon that can crank out impact stuns.
Brainlets need not apply to the charge blade club.

I doubt that will be the case.

hit face, monster first stands up to fall over and die

btw. isn't this the exact same kill screen Rise used?

trying to sneak World's dogshit OST in like we wouldn't notice

KEK, nice try

you realize

only thing I realize is that rise just like world are still fun games. I am literally playing rise atm and have over 500 hours in it.

i downloaded it but will wait for the real demo like a month before release. I'm just watching my oshi stream it

Thoughts after around a dozen hunts in the beta:

The soundtrack is kinda bad/bland from what we have so far. I miss the trumpets from world and the asian motifs from rise.
I don't like that everyone is some variety of gypsy
Why the fuck is mount speed controlled with shoulder trigger "levels"? Why does the mount keep trying to run off to some random location on the map even if i turn off markers?
The desert map is kinda boring. There is that one open area in front of the donut where the lightning effects look cool, but aside from that it's pretty meh. I'm not sure if it's just the visual issues with the beta or if this is their intended vision, but I REALLY hope the other areas have more color.
Weapon hit feedback feels really weak.
I like most of the moveset additions that I tried as well as the wound mechanic. Thank got they got rid of the wire bugs

Performance aside

It's hard to put it aside because it is just SO unbelievably BAD it drags everything else down with it. This has the potential to be a really good game. Maybe better than World and Rise, but not with how it runs and looks right now - like shit.

My implication was that it was already getting worse and yet somehow got even worse

The problem with the claw is it did a specific thing that you couldn't do normally (tenderize)

Focus attacks on weakpoint just breaks them fast, you can still break them fast if you play well. And even then, the focus attacks is just an extra move in your moveset compared to the goofy grapple bs you were doing in world

Yeah, I don't think the demo does HH any justice with its potential. Especially for other potential ground AoE buff things.

works on my machine

This is the most disgusting thing that's been posted here.

Previous IG got very quickly boring

so being reduced to basically 2 moves is less boring? And imagine wanting LESS aerial. Go shit up some other weapon

someone anon said yesterday he hunted the wrong monster. Also we are talking about Capcom they include mechanics like boomerangs or torchers or bounce bombs that essentially are useless.

On the "Recommended Combo" tab there's a training area, is that available in this beta?

Nah, Wilds has an actual symphony even if it's not "tribal" like gen 1-2-3, World is simply soulless and fails at mimicking previous MH soundtracks.

can Switchaxe not latch onto monsters anymore? I tried and it never took

The realistic symphony bullshit is why its getting worse and that started in World. Its why everything sounds like shit in games these days because everyone is out there trying to be Mozart instead of making cool, thematic snappy vidya songs.

I'm still trying to play CB like 4U with AEDs and no savage axe. Having savage EDs not consume phials at all is extremely retarded.

found the frenchman

savage EDs not consume phials at all

I've been having so much fun with horn I have not giving anything else a try
but surely you are exaggerating

Yeah they overnerfed half of CB's toolkit and now its just switch axe with extra steps.

Fix the performance and I'll give a fuck, not giving Capcom money for laziness. Not bothering until then, don't own a console and don't have a weak PC. There, I cut off all your shill damage controls.

Capcom truly employs the worst damage controlling shills.

I'm having fun with it, it's monster hunter and it feels like World 2, they just need to crunch that optimization asap.

At least in Rice you had to give up TCS to do it

But then after a hundred hours

?????
Anon fucking think he'll play the same game forever without being burn out at any point in time? Are you fucking serious now? LMAO.
And even if you did never get bored of a game, you'd probably feel like a WoW addict or something, playing the same (easy) game for 20 years.

then why would you not just go into savage axe always?

I was amazed at how dumb wilds savage axe is. Lasts a while, phials barely deplete, you can sheath and itll stay up, and it's damage is insane. I would not be surprised if it gets hit with a nerf, probably the best reward for any focus attack

comparing clutch claw to focus mode

lmao clutch claw gave you a straight out damage increase or removed mob immunity in some cases
focus mode just lets you aim better
are you telling me you're such a shitter that you cannot aim your attacks anymore without the new focus mode?

You don't have any response cause you do get the same reward slightly slower for not using it. The weapon's play style is still there while you do use focus. You get wounds by playing your weapon well. That isn't the same as being forced to stop playing your weapon, do the minigame for normal damage mode, then get back to doing what you actually wanted.

get into a Rey Dau quest at night

Matched with three Japanese guys

be careful not to die while spamming GS

follow zap dragon to the dune area

everyone is fully healed

all three Japs get carted in a single attack while I wasn't looking

free knock downs by just aiming at a red spot every 30 seconds

not free damage

retard

Help me Anon Babble, i can't decide which style is better. If only hair44 had only one braid...

inb4 - looks like shit in all variants

And I did that in a heartbeat because I hate TCS.

for me, it's 4

its shit, will play it in 4-5 years when i have nothing else to play. im more surprised that people genuinely like it, but then again this is the new fanbase after all

Do you have to be brown in this game?

It's a mess and needs another 6-12 months of development

This. It's also obvious the performance is shit on purpose so that people have to rely on blurry AI frame generation.

Horn bro, does horn feels weird or is it just me? Maybe I was just too used to the SPIN TO WIN of World.
Are you able to pull the counter-attack without much trouble? It seems hard to me.

bottom right makes her face look best

4 > 2 > 3 >>>>>> 1

Face looks like Griffith.

Nobody's trying to be Mozart, they're trying to be Jeremy Soulless. Mozart actually had variety.

You have to hold down the buttons while doing an elemental discharge to use ZSD now

Thank you horn bros for letting me stay in demon mode for years

Why the fuck is mount speed controlled with shoulder trigger "levels"? Why does the mount keep trying to run off to some random location on the map even if i turn off markers?

Dude, just change the controls in the options, why are people here so fucking retarded?

Performance aside

literally impossible, but swaxe also felt whimpy so there's that.

I just like tan girls

4 is best

Well 4 it is then. Thanks. Funny thing it's the first one i choose.

Not white, gay and fluffy enough to be Griffith

My niggers in cope, if the dev doesn't trust you to steer your own dedicated mount, what other menial tasks does the dev not trust you to do?

GS no longer TCS spam

CB no longer SAED spam

IG no longer jump attack spam

worldbabs are seething

KEK they reverted how weapons worked pre world and it's amazing how easy it is to see which retards started with world

not a word of a lie. AEDs and the followup only eat half a phial if you're in savage axe, too. which would be fine if it was only that but ZERO consumption of phials during ED1 and 2 is just way too much. it's like if you asked a 9 year old how CB should be buffed

4 or 2. But give her red eyes and go full Brazil mode.

I thought I would miss the spin way more, but after an hour the fucking JUST ATTACKS more than made up for it
performance was already great they nailed it by adding a timing to it
being able to queue up songs super fast with echo bubbles and wound attacks(+wound attacks also having a timing component) really makes the horn flow better, since you will always be placing bubbles and doing wound attacks if you can
the offset melody is a lot less free than any other counter in the game, BUT it feels really goddamn nice having a counter that isn't braindead since you need to set it up via notes and time it right
most of all I'm just happy that everyone agreed rise horn never happened

it can work
youtube.com/watch?v=pYmKWHsbtbw

Hammer is good, I mean the gameplay is pretty much World and that's fine, I enjoyed World and will probably enjoy Wilds

There is nothing you can say to make this not the GOTY in 2025. Pretending to be silly about a handholding little tutorial aint it.

you don't know how the game works retard
you can get wounds and trigger them to get knockdowns without ever using focus mode or focus strike
unironically go play the game

Hey

Can you go back to this training barrel?

They probably have no vision for CB besides not wanting it to be spamming SAEDs. Rise and Wilds they nerfed it in ways that make it feel like total shit and I fully expect them to backtrack on the nerfs in the G-rank expansion just like Rise did.

so being reduced to basically 2 moves is less boring?

The loop you want going requires wounding the monster so you get a quick refill, and the charge hit is a huge waste if you don't get all the hits. Even in some optimised speedrun that's going to be tricky if you don't spend some time doing your normal combos. Meanwhile you guys are crying that it isn't about spamming one button in the air all the time now.

I hope there's some sort of giant monster fight that makes use of the 100 player lobbies.

Why do you people say GS is a combo weapon now? TCS is still king and that new charged rising slash doesn't seem any good by itself and feels way too slow to pull off to reliably counter.

Is it just me or is long sword the devs' favorite weapon? I was trying out all the weapons, and some feel worse (like Lance, sadly) but of course they added a demon gauge kind of mechanic to LS where when your bar is red not only can you do the regular shit but a lot of your moves have different animations.

Other weapons: Hammer felt pretty good, maybe it's because the final monster you can hunt in the beta has such a big fucking head. Hunting Horn, on the other hand, feels worse -- before you used to be able to do a 180 and then hit Triangle+Circle to do the overhead attack and hit behind you, and they nerfed the 180 speed. Dual Blades feels even easier, SnS felt largely similar, but I think they may have buffed stun percentages because I'm stunning with SnS so much more than in previous titles. GS felt awkward to me because you can now spin around a bit while charging, but it's hard to see what exactly the limits of the rotation is... definitely easier than before, and the tackle reduces damage by a LOT more than previously.

they're gonna make the monsters stronger to compensate!

Wow! I remember hearing this about Rise, and it was an absolute fucking lie!

Bruh it took you like 5+ games of long sword favoritism to figure this out?

The gameplay is World/IB but with some weapon changes brought over from Rise (not all), some new moves, and a special focus move for all weapons. It comes with all the obnoxious baggage of World though which includes awful story nonsense, treating the game like it's an MMO, clusterfucks of tutorials everywhere, and maps with slopes everywhere. The combat areas are particularly bad where monsters just stop and fight you in the smallest, worst areas possible so you really just end up fighting the environment. It's still enjoyable but I Iike how the portable team handles MH much more and Rise/SB is still the best modern MH in my opinion.

How the fuck am I meant to be doing damage with Dual Blades in the demo? Nobody in their right minds would use DB's with no element/status.

I haven't played the beta are these videos legit or are people shitposting on low settings? I mean the game looks horrible, worse than world. It's like someone recorded PS4 footage.

Is there any videos or images from PC?

Yellow paint is hand holding.
Play the game for me is watching a movie...enjoy your movie anon.

You gotta make it look like shit for it to even run stable on a 3080. Same problem DD2 had.

it does look worse. it's blurry, the colors are awful, and the environment geometry looks like a ps3 game at best

imagine taking this long to realize that the devs suck off the long sword harder than any other weapon
its the most popular, they have a financial incentive to keep it that way

You get the same "reward" slightly slower for not using the claw too. All it really does is allow you to get better wex effects on hitzones and therefore more crits, letting you kill the monster faster. Even the shitzone monsters like Namielle just go down slower if you don't use it cause you do less damage, which stops mattering as much once you get better gear like the busted Raging or Safi blast shit.
All of this sounds like a pretty retarded excuse right? It's exactly how you sound defending focus mode and acting like it'll be totally different this time, for sure. You're all total morons and I can't wait for this same time next year where you'll all be bitching about how shit a mechanic it ended up being.

Oh right, what are you opinions on the monsters after spending a few hours murdering them?
Balahara is so fuckin COOL. Doshaguma is a lot more impressive than I imagined he would be when watching the previews. Rey dau's sound design is really unique and nifty. Chatacabra is kind of smaller and more passive than I like.

ls was weak as fuck in p3rd and 4u
it only started going bad in GU up to now

fippy bippy chuds btfo

As someone who spent 90% of hunts with CB, I have no fucking idea the hell is going on with it in Wilds. Also focus mode is literally cancer black plague incarnate.

GL is cool I guess
uninstalled the beta after a few mins tho

360 no scope tcs

Switch axe got fucking raped, what are you talking about?

autistic meltdown

it’s a GS user

that explains it

I mean the game looks horrible, worse than world

World used MT Engine whilst Rise and Wilds use RE Engine, which is notoriously bad for bigger games because it was designed for the first person RE7 corridor horror

World is simply soulless

You, sir, are an actual moron. You have no musical literacy, you might be, unironically, low IQ and I promise, if I ever see you in person, to shove a pencil so hard up your ears that your brain just might adjust itself.
Fucking chimp

I dont know. Especially vs Ray dau where he doesn't have legs weak to slashing, what is DB meant to do without something like the aerial shit from rise to actually do damage.

not even that guy but you're all brain dead retarded niggers for comparing this shit to clutch claw
the clutch claw will give you a flat out damage increase and not interacting with the mechanic means you lose that damage increase
not using focus mode literally will not give you any negatives, if you're a good player you will know how to position yourself anyway without the clunky aim button, if you keep hitting the same part you will trigger the wounds anyway, if you keep hitting those wounds you will get extra damage for hitting them, if you keep hitting it again it will pop and cause a knockdown anyways
what you retards don't understand is that the wounding mechanic is not exlusive to focus mode at all unlike tenderize which is impossible to trigger without clutch claw
the only argument i see for losing damage is actually autistically planning to hit those wounds and make use of the increased damage but pop them with focus mode to get an extra 40-50 damage which really doesn't matter unless you're at the realm of speedrunning which i seriously doubt any of you niggers here can produce a decent time for anything anyway

IG's new charged attack flurry spam is retarded and obnoxious. A fluid weapon with a nice moveset is a retarded bug collecting minigame.

Holy fuck the font in this game is ugly

you can tell that they made the monsters more agile and mobile by the beta alone you ginormous giga mega faggot. lets see a video of you destroying rey dau easily and fast if you wish to prove otherwise.

After extensive testing I've settled on Charge Blade for my main.
MH veterans, what might be a good backup weapon that complements it with damage type variety?

Looks amazing on my 4k HDR OLED. Everyone here is recording at sub 1080p. Remember dlss at 1440p is 1707x960.

how weapons worked pre world

You can't be THIS disingenuous. More than half the moveset they have in Wilds are direct additions from World PLUS the fucking freeaim bullshit.

too slow to reliably counter

Get good. I've been countering Rey Dau more and more reliably each hunt as I learn its attack pattern and cadence. Offset on GS is cracked, and using unusual moves to get back to charged offset attack faster breaths life into the GS moveset.

You get the same "reward" slightly slower for not using the claw too.

Wrong, you have to clutch claw if you want normal damage. In wilds wounds will occur either way. Clutch wasn't to get extra damage but for that part to take normal damage and to have the amount of hit zones you'd expect. This had a large effect on the design of fights in general cause monsters had to give a large hey jump on moment.

All of this sounds like a pretty retarded excuse right?

Cause what you wrote was incorrect and ignored parts of the argument like how you still play your weapon normally in or out of focus. This is basically like talking to someone insisting in Street Fighter Focus, Vtrigger and Drive all work the same cause they are all metered things you use to get more damage. No, they work different.

TCS

Tackle

Greatsword should literally only be drawslash and nothing else, fuck this modern bullshit.

You, sir, are an actual moron. You have no musical literacy, you might be, unironically, low IQ and I promise, if I ever see you in person, to shove a pencil so hard up your ears that your brain just might adjust itself.

call me when you start spamming TCS, SAED, jump attacks in any of the older game where they don't even exist lmao

For players like you? I've heard the Charge Dildo up Your Ass is super effective at reducing the debuff of crippling depression you were born with.

hammer is great. my hunt times are cut in half because I don’t have to cancel an entire smash combo because the monster moved a single pixel

ok I see now, I watched a video and I apparently missed like all the new stuff, that explains it.

XD

My weapons:

Lance is Lance, but now you can stab FOUR times in a row. Woah.

Hunting Horn is like World's HH but better. Fuck whatever they did to this weapon in Rise. Also, unlike Iceborne, you don't spam the spinny move 24/7. Awesome.

SnS is like Rise's SnS but... uh... less flashy I guess? It was already pretty good in Rise and it's similar in this game. The sidestep with direction+Y is great.

Charge Blade is completely different: I like that you can insta-charge the shield in one single move, and that you aren't forced into sword-mode after AED. But Savage Axe is way too strong and completely unnecessary: the core gameplay should be charge phials in sword-mode --> switch to axe-mode to consume phials and deal damage --> switch back to sword-mode and repeat. But they added a superaxe-mode on top of that, which doesn't consume phials so you never switch back to sword-mode..? I don't get it, it's complexity for the sake of complexity. Anyway, nothing can be worse than SAED spam.

I'm not a fan of focus mode. The wounding thing is fine I guess, but the fact you can freeaim with every weapon is so dumb. They should at the very least reduce the damage: "you can play this game like a TPS if you want, but all of your moves deal 20% less damage". There, fixed.

HH or a gun.

i died a lot to rey dau... and then he left the locale...
like taking a piss on me and then shitting on my head as a dessert

They completely raped Deviljho's theme and many others, you fucking worldsperm faggot, world's OST is fucking DOGSHIT
kill yourself

Can you post some screenshots on max settings then?

The only way to understand the charge blade is to swing it around and hit buttons, that's what makes it fun. Do the learning yourself and it all makes perfect sense. Fuck guides.

everyone hates focus mode

its just aiming with a weapon

Don't let the ranged trannies laugh at us...

SAED looks like absolute shit now

feels like absolute shit

charges like absolute shit

meanwhile focus looks fancier, is easier to use, does more damage, and you can just use it basically whenever you want

This was my first time playing Monster Hunter and I went with the bow. It was fun but I could see it getting boring plio9nking the monster for 20 minutes. Are there different skills and such or is bow gameplay basically the same from start to finish?

embarassing. his laser has a ridiculously long telegraph. I’m not even that good at MH and killed him with hammer and only got hit 3 times

I have no fucking idea the hell is going on with it in Wilds

I think they just want you to hit wounds and spam Savage Axe.

im literally a more casual mh player who will play through the game and the expac once and do some master rank and not really go deep into the game
the attack that gets me is the sky divebomb, it one shots consistently and i basically need to be looking for it

I refuse. Pizza cutter is shit.

performance is gameplay

hahaha

With infinite coatings, bow seems to have pivoted from arrow spam to barrage + dragon piercer spam with arrow spam being relegated to applying status. Bow still feels really fun though.

This. In ten years, there might not even be a vidya industry.

It is really telegraphed but he still catches me occasionaly because he just randomy 360s into it and aims it straight into the ground or a dune

is return to form a meme?
i don't use Anon Babble much.

grill a meal in your tent if you aren’t already

performance aside

People already knew months ago that the performance was completly GARBAGE and crapcom did nothing. I doubt they gonna fix it.

SAED always existed THOUGH. You just barely ever saw in 4U because AED was insanely broken and SAED was pretty useless since it got rid of your shield buff.

youtube.com/watch?v=ehyHFWeSw9M

hopefully in 10 years there will be no more society as we know it. I pray daily for the earth and the seas to consume every single one of you faggots.

it's the new

and that's a good thing

google buzzword

yes it’s a dragon age fake review meme

Suew, and no one is refuting that the game is an enexcusably unoptimized mess, but I think OP just wanted to talk gameplay mechanics over just repeating what everyone knows about Capcom being incompetent with the performance of their games.

I liked it; the map is huge, the combat is like World and not like rise. I main dual blades, and I like it. Fast and fluid action with evasion, and the iconic blade spinny move is in, so it checks all the boxes for me. It's mostly GS users who are ultra whiny I've noticed.
Obviously early game is super easy and I personally enjoy the loot gacha of elder dragons more but I am really excited to see what else the game has in store. Cool maps other than sand.

The game does however really need optimization. Graphics and performance are so janky. And I have to get used to the UI and seikret, it's... something.

How are we feeling about GS?

I want the opposite. Disable the item bar so I can use that button for more radials.

How are they doing so much damage? I was doing like 2-3 per hit on any other monster. So the trick it seems is to just use the coatings on cool down? I thought they were limited so i used them sparingly.

this is pretty accurate. I don't see the juice for hammer though. maybe I'm not recognizing the new moves or doing them.

less intrusive than crutch craw and headbonks. don't worry I'm sure the expansion cataclysm will ruin it. You can stack a bunch of wounds and then cash them all out at once which is cool but it was added to be the gamer whoa cool gamer move for people who will only do story mode. the topple effect is iffy on it though when the tool tips makes it sound like anytime you hit a wound with the focus move the monster gets toppled.

gajau drome gajaw confirmed for wilds

more difficult to pull of counter move

TCS nerfed

Attack aiming increases skill ceiling

Best its been since XX

Infinite. Coatings.

Paintballs are the new ping I believe. I couldn't find a way to do the "over here" ping with the chat wheel and paintballs never expire. You can just shoot the ground or monsters or w/e and the icon stays on them forever.

I don't really know what to make of it.
Hit's don't feel as impactful as they did in the previous games (I haven't played Rise)

Iceborne had the best GS, dealing a meaty 3k damage with 1 minute hitstun on a monster was ultra sex

Do you mean sound profile and visual effects or damage?

hammer

Level 2 charge into combo. focus aiming your smash combos to hit the head through other body parts. basically you can play hammer like an actual hammer now instead of spamming slide flips and spins

World's OST isn't that great, but Astera and Seliana at least have decent, memorable themes as well as a few of the fight tracks being catchy
Wilds unsurprisingly is just random brap cacophony for the doshaguma/balahara theme and ambient, nothing-tier plink plonks for the camps/villages

Sound and visuals.

spamming the same slingshit into TCS 20 times a hunt was fun because big number

Fucking worldsperms

Many weapons had hitstop removed.

no
the parrying is fun as fuck

World's OST isn't that great

I have to give SA another shot now that I understand offset attacks better from GS.

>only reason to charge shield is to get sword charge

maybe I'm retarded because I always charge shield out of habit, but is charging your shield not required to do a SAED anymore?

I'm taking a break right now so I can't check at the moment

Close range coating is always unlimited. In this beta you get unlimited power coatings BUT at launch you may not, normally you craft them with Nitroshrooms. Same with bowguns, everything but normal ammo level 1 needs to be crafted. Which is opposed to melee weapons who just need sharpening but otherwise you just slap the monster without consuming limited resources.

im pissed that horns are back to worlds annoying generic tone of every swing instead of unique sounds like literally every other game

Attack aiming increases skill ceiling

Any retard now being able to aim a TCS is not raising the ceiling, it is raising the floor.

It's still required.

it takes a bit more time to get used to than GS because the parry uses different controls if you are in axe or sword mode
once I started using the new moves better holy fuck it got so fun

so cool bro, that's why old GS was better when you'd literally only use a single move (lvl 3 charge)
you're so correct bro!

I didn't even know there was a sword mode offset attack

Where the fuck do I see remaining buff time?

you worldsperms were 360ing into TCS from the slinger attack too, stfu or post sub 10 min Rey Dau

yeah
I'm on controller so I don't know what the controls are, but the axe has basically the same offset as GS, and the sword mode has one where you hit weapon switch and attack at the same time (R2 and Triangle for me)
it's slower than the axe offset but seems to have a slightly longer parry window. shits neat

I'm kinda pissed that they didn't address IG's annoying extract upkeep issues at all. Buffs last too little, manually aiming the monster's ass for 1 minute to gather extracts is lame and the fact that extract uptime isn't refreshed if you gather more while you have all 3 buffs is fucking stupid. Why not bake in extract gathering into the weapon's moveset and that way incentivize using a wide variety of attacks?

They actually made the uptime more obnoxious

you need ALL THREE to get the non-cancer moveset now

new charged skill does so much damage that you're compelled to use it, but it DRAINS YOUR ENTIRE GAUGE

IG became a meme minigame instead of an actual weapon

skill issue

Feepee beepee

I think it might be because my game runs at 25 fps, but is the kinsect just super retarded?
Multiple times I've aimed it at the monster and it just shoots straight upwards for no reason or somehow glides past it

You can't get rid of it (it's been around for ages after all it just didn't have as much stuff on it), but you can switch item selection back to the d-pad.

Just use focus mode, it brings out your kinsect and gets extracts during your attacks.

The gimmick is much better than Iceborne's or Rise's. To the point I think it's staying in the series for good.

But doesn't that just sidestep the issue? You're no longer aiming the kinsect at 3 body parts, you have to go stab those 3 body parts instead to get your shit until you can finally play the game for around 2 minutes, after which you have to do it again. It's a god damn flowchart weapon now.

It may as well be removed with how shite it is now. Just spam the new charged chop and obliterate with wounds

If GS on world I prefer doing aerial bullshit as it is more fun.

They gave directional attack back to SnS

Actually can only do directional attack for 180 degrees in front of you

Can't do it to turn around

why

Mixed feelings. The gameplay is ok I guess, but the graphics are abysmal to a point I just don't wanna look at the game.

I feel like I want to use a new weapon in Wilds. I've been primarily a SnS user since the very first MonHun game I played, which was Monster Hunter Tri. I occasionally use other weapons like GS or DB, but I wanna just go for something totally different.
How is hammer in Wilds? I could try it out but right now I don't have access to my PC because I am traveling (currently shitposting from my laptop). People always seem to have fun bonking, and one thing I always enjoyed about SnS was the ability to stun monsters with shield bashes to the head. Also I feel like it would be very different because SnS and DB are all about elemental attacks/statuses and Hammer seems very raw physical damage and just smash them in the face.

i have 200 hours in worlds and all 200 are chargeblade. I didnt even know there were heavy and light bowguns till i had to cheese Raging Brachy

Moveset where generally improved acrossed the board, atleast for my weapons.
Focus mode however, is simply another trash gimmick. It kills any need for positioning by letting you re-aim at anytime. It is simply another casulization that the game did not need to try to appeal to Western golems.

You can hardly judge any other gameplay elements outside of the base combat in the demo. But i'm sure the progression and itemization are no better than in World/Rise.

It's very fast and your kinsect can get mutiple extracts at once. It only becomes a problem on monsters with a somewhat difficult to hit body part like rey's torso.

What is the 'reward' for the beta test? Is it worth downloading to get it?

They may as well just have made the pizza cutter on Charge Blade its own separate weapon. Instead they tacked it onto Charge Blade, made it be completely irrelevant to how the rest of the weapon works AND made it far better to use than the rest of the weapon effectively making the actual Charge Blade replaced by an entirely new weapon. May as well rename Charge Blade to Savage Axe because the Charge Blade part means jack shit now.

You use roundslash and reaper for full attack redirection like in Rise. The new charged stab works for that as well.

This is unironically unacceptable

Dude, what are you smoking?

Monster Hunter is a turn-based game pretending to be action.

Does the blood toggle in settings even do anything?

The most important thing is that you can infinitely customize your character in the beta so you can see them in-game with various lighting and can tweak it however much you want. Whereas at release they'll charge you to change facial structure after creation.

It's a network test
Not a fan of the hitstop, could be an animation thing but Hammer felt like it had way more impact
5th gen GS just sucks and people generally didn't like it.
4th gen is where it's really at
The new charge is really fun and golfswing not only having an offset but also comboing into the new charge is great.
Charge 1/2 being replaced with the Strength ver. is a huge improvement.
It's just overall very simple and impactful, and every bit of the kit is used

Focus fucked over IG massively.

desu it seems you can turn the camera and see asses, some fag uploaded that intentionally looking away

I wear helmets though

Me and my wife.

Anon if you read this you have to answer or the person you love the most dies.

Would you rather:

Have Wilds with World's engine and graphics

Meaning, running native res, smooth fps and sharp image, but some map and weather features probably not possible.

Continue Wilds as it is

Meaning performance likely wont improve after release.

You are unironically retarded.

I usually main GS but it feels really weightless in Wilds. Focus mode makes it super busted so it's not like I'm having a hard time.

Pray rongsord gaijin

Former in a HEARTBEAT, World looked fine especially once you patched out the volumetric fog. Also means infinite coom mods since the framework is already known.

Strongest CB user

Hey anon why can't you post a picture of 4k HDR max setting monster hunter? You didn't lie about your settings and Hardware on the Internet, did you?

the reddit spin

Former, I only give a shit about the gameplay anyway. The desert already looks like shit during the clay weather

I still dont get how is focus mode "auto play".
While you can lock on monsters the only move I seem to be able to pull is the one on wounds

Worlds engine and graphics.
Though I would prefer third or fourth gen engine and graphics if I'm being honest completely honest.

what about it feels at all like the old games?

Why aren't you? The game went gold, it's not gonna change.

Meaning performance likely wont improve after release.

We're 4 months from release and don't have any Nvidia drivers. Performance realistically only get better.
I like the dust/weather effects. IMO we need MORE dust, like specifically attacks that monsters hide behind dust (like Frontier)

I think there's a toggle option.
I never used it, it feels weird.

The charge blade was a perfect weapon in 4U. Proper use of the weapon has you switching constantly between all its forms, and I found myself using every single move in its arsenal, both in sword and in axe, for its "optimal" playstyle on most hunts. Since then, it's all been downhill. GU gutted the weapon once, World made the weapon focused on spamming SAED, iceborne had to add another temporary gauge management just to try and make the weapon as good as its 4U variant, we don't talk about Rise and Sunbreak's CB, and now it's even worse. The weapon just has no flow anymore.

he didn't play HBG in earlier gens

valor hbg scoped lets GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

you know the beta doesnt have Denuvo and the full release will? you know how Denuvo impacts performance?

Performance realistically only get better

Not really, Worlds ran like ass in beta and on launch
Dragons Dogma 2 is an example of what post-launch RE engine support looks like, which is none

Make it Rise even.

frame generation on

lel

Rise is RE Engine and runs way better than World, truthfully engine has nothing to do with it.

It's exactly the same as world and I'm just not autistic enough to go through those motions again.

Gaming is creatively bankrupt.

anon the webm filesize is 4Mb good luck trying to upload a 4K webm

Rise had to be designed for Switch hardware which hard limited how much of a hog it could possibly be.

lmao

Plenty season actually doesn't look half-bad even if it can be excessively orange in the morning/evening

only lasts like 4 minutes then right back to shades of brown/gray fallow and sandtide

what were they thinking?

the map felt tiny to me

I didn't play it, in fact I never played a MH, all I know is new game = shit, previous game = good

Anyone got the slime webm?
I REALLY need it

It's even more braindead and streamlined than World.

Then charge the kinsect it will pierce through the monster and can collect up to three essences. This only feels awkward right now cause we have by far the slowest kinsect available. You fuckers complain about IG being ruined when it feels better than ever but requires now half a braincell more to play.

god that's ugly

As much as I would like to enjoy the game, I'm not going to throw down $3k+ just to run this unoptimized piece of shit. I'm going to wait until the expansion comes out in a year or two and then I might think about it assuming they fix 99% of the performance issues the game has.

Otherwise it's going to be in my backlog for 5-6 years until I finally upgrade.

why, because the demo doesn't have progression systems or item management?

I didn't realize it at first but now that I think about it, it's in the name "focus" mode. When World came out, you had a lot of new players obviously and many of them never turned off that awful "focus" cam. In other words, Capcom "intentionally trained new players wrong as a joke" because MH is not designed for that style of camera. So the new focus mode is meant to be used with the focus cam to try and make these retards capable of aiming their attacks. Any MH player from before World obviously knew to turn that shit off immediately and just play with the normal tap L1 target cam. Focus mode is just new fancy special attack, that's it really.

Denuvo game

performance is total garbage

Balahara has a cool design and I like how it incorporates it's weird physiology into some of the attacks, namely the one where he winds himself up into a spiral and launches towards you. I've only fought one and it was a rough hunt due to me trying out the Longsword on it despite never having picked one up in my life.

Rey Day is great. As a hammer user, I appreciate the fact that his wing blades and tail are weak to blunt, and that makes the gimmick of dissipating his charges feel less awful. He's by far my favorite monster to practice on. Delaying the hammer upswing for the offset attack on him is immensely satisfying, and I've gotten pretty good at offsets with other weapons against him.

Chatacabra makes for an okay punching bag to test weapons out on. I don't have any strong feelings about it one way or another. Same thing goes with the other monster, it's just kinda there, though I do like the attack where it slams the ground and rips it upwards, causing that huge explosion of debris.

While I appreciate not having to deal with load times, I'm not a fan of the hunt/prep setup no longer being completely separate from one another. Temporary camps are another thing I'm not sold on, I'm hoping we can setup one or two camps per zone that we don't have to worry about. Either that or we get some sort of upgrades to our campsites that can keep monsters below a certain power level away from them. Maybe that'll be some sort of reward for finishing the story in each zone and learning about the ecology and monsters that live there.

Oh shit they got the sky from JoJo Part 4?

I'm watching my GF play the switch version of Rise right now and it somehow looks sharper than the PS5 version of Wilds.

ìI played the stage demo at Lucca few days ago (same build as Gamescom), and today I played the beta
The game already improved compared to that, and the Scarlet Forest build was clearly running better than this beta.
I still don't expect the game to run super well at release, but surely it will be a decent improvement

The point is the game runs like ass not because of the core tech but because the dev team's goal is always to cram as much dumb bullshit as they can in with a barely playable console frame rate rather than making a smooth and sharp game. People only had less trouble with World because their PCs were further ahead of consoles at the time.

I don't know why anyone even expects "next gen" games at 4K to run decently, it just does not fucking happen because there has not been enough increase in hardware capability to improve both graffix and resolution and you can't just release PS4 looking games that run at 4K when most of the userbase is still on 1080p.

I'm surprised how fucking cool Balahara is to fight
5* one also hits like a truck with some moves

Because it is.

All current games look worse than mid life PS4's

snsKINGS... what the fuck were they thinking

Pretty sure they optimized it like shit on purpose just like Crysis 2. They really want to normalize that Frame Generation shit.

Auto movement, focus mode, sharpening requires zero commitment, the game's incessant handholding (it even has to sugest the player the best healing choice ffs let people learn). I didn't like the visuals and monsters either, it all looks very bland and uninspired. Dunno man, this series feels tired at this point. Just my thoughts, if you don't agree it's OK, God bless you.

Do you really think using the small potion when you need small health and the big potion when you need big health is something anyone needs to learn

Does the camera follow the monster by default or did I enabled some setting by accident?

Just finished off rey dau for the first time, seems pretty good so far, wanting to do CB but just not having that much fun with it, might go back to switch axe, haven't tried it out yet in wilds but it was my main in world and rise. I am a casual whose first MH was World and put probably 600-700 hours into that, a few hundred into Rise.

All of the attacks are that little bit faster and feel that little bit less impactful along with it. I do miss the different recitals though. The bubbles are nice, and I think are a much better way to implement the kind of damage style they tried to do in rise, They also expanded flourishes so you can get extra notes on the ground pound, and the overhead crush is back as a groundpound combo which is great.
Over all I like that they leaned into the musicality of the weapon, giving more opportunities for more notes, and making the counter a performance as well is a good choice.

Performance aside

no performance? no buy

horn feels weird
like they nerfed its self improvement movement speed or something
can't put my finger on it

I imagine performance issues are downstream of the original design
I don't think we need packs of 20 keratonoth or tracking of small monsters 24/7 (which I'm sure is happening in the background) to drive up CPU usage
It's not like the environments look good either
I bet this is why they showed the desert first since it is probably the easiest to render

You can't really divorce gameplay from performance. Especially in an action game

It's on by default.
I think it's called focus camera and you need to disable it if you want it to work like it should.

With Charge Blade, charging the shield should juist also charge the blade. The blade buff and the charged attack it locks you into are just superfluous when you want to be in axe mode anyway at that point.
Or have the blade buff be automatically applied after a SAED.

counterspam

Swapping to hunting horn for buffs and then to your actual weapon while still keeping the buffs seems pretty strong.

I'm oversimplifying but the point is if Cletus and Tyrone paid for that PS quintuple they expect ray traced piss reflections or whatever. We've had this situation before where the 360 and PS3 couldn't actually handle what they advertised so everything ran fucking terribly and there was stuff that looked worse than on PS2 but it didn't come with interpolating everything into a blurry mess to pretend things are okay like this time.

that looks silly, even rage slash can only do 180

It may sound silly but i really like new cooking animations and how food looks in general. That's what DD2 cooking should've been.

I really hope that these portion sizes are just for the mobile stove and the actual kitchen does properly gigantic meals when fully upgraded.

who the fuck grills lettuce

storm starts

40 fps on high at 1440p

wtf is this performance? i have a 3080 and this is barely playable

grilled lettuce is always funny

I was considering buying the game on launch, but I'm now thinking I'll hold to see if Capcom fixes the performance.
I'm glad the sex is still there, at least.

food textures need work but I agree

Hunters do what they want

the new stuff i could find on LS is holding r2 to skip to a specific part of the spirit slash chain and that after the spirit thrust + helmbreaker there's an r2 follow up i can press to do a bit more damage if done at red gauge level. did i miss anything else

there's an r2 follow up i can press to do a bit more damage

the follow-up is the strongest move in the entire LS arsenal from what I can gather. It's gonna be crucial to land it on a weak point to maximize your dmg.

if you made a vacation to like egypt you made as well grill lettuce

Ok, here's a (you)

TA Swax is just spamming ED>followup>new gauge refil slash

I think I'll stick to ZSD

I'm surprised they even did a PC beta considering their track record of shit performance on launch
Or maybe they wanted to fix it before release day so that it doesn't get thousands of negative day one reviews

They're seriously charging you money to change your character in the release?

PC has become a significant portion of capcom's digital sales (like 45%) so they can't afford a poor pc launch. it makes sense to have this feeler out there to gather feedback

Astera's fucking sucks and the loop is torturously short

I just can't enjoy this. Playing LS at 40 fps is excruciating.

What?
DB feels great if you go for wounds, the rolling slash deals a FUCKTON of damage, I killed rey in like 15 minutes and I never use DB

you have 3 months to make the perfect character with the beta

WHY DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A GIMMICK
WHY DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A GIMMICK

Its still going to release with dog shit performance dude.
They'll clean it up a bit before launch but its not going to be a whole lot better.

Welcome to MH.

When I started MH there was 1, Dos, Freedom Unite and Tri. None of those had gimmicks.

Performance aside, its a fun game.

Well, 4, G, W and R all had gimmicks so you should be used by now.

New weapons were the gimmick of Dos/FU
And it was the most devastating one in MH history
LS main btw

Revert Savage Axe to World's no-button-hold no-10s-hitstop version
Remove phial cost reduction/removal on Savage Axe mode
Power Sword Mode damage overcharges phials
Double-charging no longer charges phials but increases the duration slightly on all your current amped states
Speed up Morph-to-sword slash like 20% to make the guard point there actually usable
boom I just made Wilds CB the most fun CB ever made
I'm a genius

That phrase has now been cursed, I'll never let them leave my lips.

its a blast

I miss having a shoryuken with my SnS

It’s a glorious return to form, I’m having an absolute blast

lost all of its vfx

lost all of its power

least sattisfying weapon in the game

the unique sword/axe guage visual was also removed and turned into one

but oh yeah it got a gimped awful and not worth using version of rise's counter except with non of the benefits so I guess its good.

is CB just savage axe spam now? did they kill AED playstyle for good?

Yeah, I hope they fix it before release, at least fizlx it enough for me to run it at 60.

Because all games need to evolve. All game devs do this shit, and it doesn't always work out obviously.

Swimming? Verticality? Mounting? Monster Riding? Clutch Claw? Switch Skills? and now Focus Mode. It has to happen or a series will get stale.

Focus mode and wounding are way better than switch skills and claw.
I actually feel like I'm actually fucking up the monsters.

You can actually see monster pieces flying around as you hack at it.

Kino shit.

chop

Tri

no gimmicks

lol

The name....

I don't really like Focus Mode. Wounding is fine because theoretically it rewards exploiting a weakness in the monster's moveset, although practically they almost certainly bloated monster HP and unwounded hitzone values so that inefficient play is slower than efficient play from games past and efficient wounding and play is only as fast as efficient play from games past, meaning they've only arbitarily made the game harder for no reason.

Which is all to say that I don't really care for the hew gimmicks. However, I will still be buying Wilds.

>You can actually see monster pieces flying around as you hack at it.

This for me as well, I was bullying some Chatacabras earlier getting the feel for some weapons and it's amazing getting like 2 wound breaks and a part break and seeing like 30 pounds of shredded skin and flesh fall off them.

Tri

It just had a fucking whole side combat thing you know...

Chatacabra in particular loses bits of his arm, it's fucking metal.

There's stuff I like and stuff that makes me cry.

I like the atmosphere in the game, the planes, the ambience sounds that are super horror and cool, the monster sounds that are actually good now, the music is 10000000000 times better than World, I like the monsters shown so far, Rey is awesome, I like its attacks and its presentation.

The combat and gameplay changes are fucking grim however. EVERYTHING combat wise feels floatier and messier. The new focus mechanic is in the worst place of both worlds since its not weaved enough in the kits of the weapons to feel like an actual new mechanic but its also in every tutorial and presentation shit throughout the game with the wounds and shit. The moveset changes are dogshit, the hit effects and vfx/sfx for the weapons are the worst they have been in the entire series and the weapons feel weak as ass. Playing switch axe in this game almost made me cry. Some of the other weird shit like the seamless camp and all the things changed/implemented only for the cinematic shit is also annoying.

I'm glad the shitty ass presentation from World got an upgrade, but the gameplay felt the most confusing and also bad in the series so far.

grilled lettuce is great, you should try it anon.

this but unironically

Is DB still baby easy mode like it was in rise?

performance hasn't been an issue for me and the gameplay has been great so far even if it's missing the real mh game (90% menus)
impressed they made bow appealing to me, it's genuinely a fun weapon now

SO this is how democracy dies ,.. with a thunderous applause .

seriously, why do you have to like this shit

same

Rise

DB hasn't required you to turn your brain on since they introduced the spinning nonsense in 4U

Because you're a faggot.

throw in a bullet dump + reload after the overhead smash

made for big conquistador cock
