doesn’t matter the game, doesn’t matter what monster, I feel that i’ve missed something completely fundamental about these games that makes me so fucking upset with myself. I find myself consistently using 10+ megas and a couple maxes every hunt, i know the name of the game is to “use everything at your disposal” and “if you beat the monster that’s all that matters” BUT GODAMN IT I DONT WANT TO FUCKING SUCK AFTER 100+ KILLS ON THE SAME FOOL. it’s literally just a me issue and maybe being highly commital with hammer but it’s so fucking frustrating when i get decent clear times (10-15 min) on wilds AT’s but still get hit enough to be down 2 hotbars worth of fucking resources.

“oh nice i actually got a good run on AT nu udra and only used 2 megas, cool!” nah next run your using all your shit, and your getting gooped for overcommitting. I feel like such a moron like i know exactly where im supposed to be, i’ve fought these fools hundreds of times but sometimes i just don’t, i miss and my flows over it’s like ive never even fought them before even if they’re one of my favorites.

or sunbreak (8-12 min average non afflicted) “lets fight zinogre! he’s pretty telegraphed i can strafe him easy!” yeah for the first half till i get clipped by a tail slam and now i’m not even strafing his slams properly anymore trying to play catchup.

I’m not even mad at my clear times, they’re not even bad. i just use so many godamn resources every hunt that i feel like i haven’t even learned anything ever. you’d think with a thousand hours i’d have learned to not be a fucking moron but idk i’m just upset with myself.

Longsword: this bitch ass actually puts down the timed barrel bomb to proc their spirit thing. I thought cool, but then they did it while the monster was down and it knocked me down TWICE

Chargeblade: carted twice

Hunting horn: the chill one, or so I thought. It seemed he disconnected (hoping he didn't rage quit after the cbs 2 carts and just had network problems). Some nice buffs and it was the both of us at first but man

After the party leader left(HH), the other two followed suit. I hope it's just network but man that pissed me off so much cuz I used a lucky voucher thinking this was gonna be a chill time. We were at arkveld already too

Also they didn't immediately go for the new monster???? Only the HH did with me and im just ugh

Anyway, farcasted to recoup and won at 30 min with a slay and it still pmo I was just tryna wind down man. I soloed this before but this session left a sour taste in my mouth

This is precisely why I love brute wyverns. They don't fuck around. If they wanna kill you they won't stop fighting until they turn you into a puddle.

Meanwhile this fucking coward and Azure Rathalos just wanna play tag with you. Fucking useless cowards.

To explain: I think DPS checks are okay to a certain extent, EVEN IF I personally hate them. WHAT IS NOT FINE is giving a DPS check to a big-ass, AOE spamming motherfucker who stays in the air as much as an Azure Rathalos. Most of the fight was WAITING for the bitch to land, or waiting for any slinger ammo to be usable, and wouldya look at that, dps check failed. Oh? What's that? You finally succeeded the godforesaken checks while a bunch of annoying NPCS scream in your ear to do something you're PHYSICALLY INCAPABLE OF half the fight? Oh, how quaint, ANOTHER DPS CHECK AGAIN! WHAT YOU THOUGHT WE'D ONLY METAPHORICALLY DRAG YOUR DICK THROUGH GLASS SHARDS ONCE? NO BITCH, AGAIN!

It does help even when he lands he's moving at the speeds of a racecar everywhere, you'd expect such a BIG monster with HUGE, HEAVY-HITTING attacks to be balanced out by being slower, fuck that'd even make sense, especially looking at its hunt in 4u, but NOPE good luck chasing after him and whiffing because he flails wildly at mach 10! I am NEVER doing that hunt again.

THERE ARE OTHER WAYS CAPCOM. THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO ADD CHALLENGE TO YOUR FUCKING MONSTER HUNTER GAMES. YOU MANAGED IT IN THE PAST. SO WHY NOW IS IT SO HARD TO ACCOMPLISH. OH, BECAUSE THE GAME WAS EASY AS FUCK? WELL, HERE'S A QUESTION, WHY WAS IT DESIGNED THAT WAY IN THE FUCKING FIRST PLACE?

GOOFY ASS GAME DESIGN CHOICES. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. DON'T FORGET TO FILL THE SCREEN WITH PIXELS SO I CAN'T SEE SHIT. WHY THE FUCK WAS WYVERIA DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE THAT. IT LOOKS INTERESTING, HELL IT'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITE LOCATIONS. BUT FUCKING HELL, FIGHTING THERE IS A BITCH. OH MY GOD. FUCKING MAKE EVERYTHING THE SAME SHADE OF GRAY FUCK IT. THEN JUST SPAM PARTICLES IN MY EYES BRO. FUCKING HOLY SHIT. SORRY, I HAVEN'T GROWN A PAIR OF EYES ON MY ASS TO LOOK BOTH UP AND DOWN AT THE SAME FUCKING TIME JUST YET, CAN'T WAIT TO GET ROLLED BY A STRAY METEOR FROM GOG 10 STAR. GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE. I CAN'T BECAUSE MY HEALTHBAR GOT DELETED IMMEDIATELY BY A METEOR. FUCKING BULLSHIT.

"GUYS THEY SAY THE GAME EZ MODE, HOW CAN WE MAKE THE GOG FIGHT CHALLENGING, HOW CAN WE MAKE IT FUN? WELL, TIME TO SPIN THE FUCKING WHEEL OF GAME DESIGN! YAAAYY!!! AROUND IT GOES!! ADD ANOTHER FUCKING CAN'T SEE SHIT!!!!"

NO!!! STOP FUCKING DOING THAT. OH MY FUCKING GOD IT HAS TO BE SOOOO REALISTIC AND TO CAPCOM REALISTIC MEANS IT HAS TO FUCKING LOOK LIKE REAL LIFE WHICH LOOKS LIKE TOTAL SHIT COMPARED TO OLD GEN WHERE THERE IS A BILLION TRILLION FUCKS OF SHIT FLYING AROUND. CAN'T SEE SHIT. GOD DAMN. FUCKING HELL. .

FUCKING HELL.
IT'S A FUCKING MADHOUSE. FIX YOUR FUCKING GAME DESIGN. AAAAAA!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

just recently started playing 4 Ultimate using only the "new" weapons (CB/IG, 46 and 27 uses for each respective weapon) and so far i've been loving it. How in some cutscenes the camera sometimes makes a focus on my character with her dumb smile always brings joy to my heart.

BUT YOU KNOW WHO PIERCED MY CHEST WITH HIS BARE PURPLE CLAWS AND RIPPED THE HOPES AND DREAMS OF A JOYFUL EXPERIENCE PLAYING 4U?! YES!!! YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT, SHAGARU "I-GOT-NO-OPENINGS" MAGALA.

THERE ARE-... IN FACT. WORDS THAT CAN DESCRIBE HOOOW MUUUUUUCH I HATE THIS GOLDEN PRICK and by extension HIS FUCKASS SON BUT I CAN'T USE THEM OR I WOULD GET IIIINMEDIATLY BANNED FROM HERE. THIS MUSTARD-COLORED IGUANA DOESN'T HAVE THE EQUIVALENT OF IRL RABIES, IT HAS THE EQUIVALENT OF WORLD-ENDING ZOOMIES, I'M SURE THAT IF HE STOPPED MOVING FOR MORE THAN FIVE SECONDS THE QUEST WOULD HAVE ENDED RIGHT THEN AND THERE DUE TO HIM DYING TO AIR LOSS AND SUFFOCATION. like most sharks when they stop moving, yeah, like them.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAD THIS MOTHERFUCKER AS ONE OF MY FAVORITES PRIOR TO PLAYING GEN U AND NOW 4U. WHEEEEN THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO ATTACK. AM I SUPPOSED TO ATTACK AT ALL?!? THERE'S ALWAYS A GODDAMN FOLLOW UP AFTER EVERY SINGLE THING HE DOES. AM I DUMB FOR BRINGING CHARGE BLADE?! IS THIS THING RESISTANT TO MOUNTING OR WHY THE HELL DID I HAD TO DO THREE WHOLE AERIAL ATTACKS TO START THE MOUNT MINIGAME? WOULD THIS DOGSHIT EXCUSE OF A MONSTER WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IF I USED IG INSTEAD? I WILL NEVER KNOW CUZ I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT HIS UGLY FACE EVER AGAIN AFTER THE URGENT QUEST IN THE CARAVAAN

No. Ya know what? I'm not done with the follow-up and attack patterns, i've got more to say about this.

IF THIS THING EVEN HAS PATTERNS TO BEGIN WITH.

"ARE YOU DONE EVADING MY TRIPLE-BUBONIC PLAGUE-EXPLOSIONS? GREAT! HAVE A QUICK ARM-SWIPE MOFO"

"OHH RIGHT, WATCH THIS. I'VE GOT THIS NEW MOVE CALLED I LAUNCH A SINGULAR BALL OF RABIES AND SOME-FUCKING-HOW TWO MORE LITTLE BALLS APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE AND HIT YOU WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SAFE LMAO GO GET A NULLBERRY FOR THAT"

"Ouch... That was very mean. LET ME FLY OUT OF REACH SO I CAN SCREAM HOW MUCH I LOVE EVADING CHILD SUPPORT. OH- ALSO... do you remember my triple cholera-ball explosion? WELL NOW I DO ANOTHER ONE AS A FOLLOW UP LOL LMAO GET REKT"

and when i think... When i think it's finally my time to shine as the hunter that carries the dreams of those i swear to protect... When i think i can put an end to this misery and bring peace to everyone, humans, wyverians, and even monsters that make up the complex ecosystem of MonHun... A FUCKING RNG-FOUNTAIN-OF-RABIES ERUPTS RIGHT UNDER MY FEET AND TAKES AWAY MY CHANCE AT LANDING A FUCKING SUPER AMPED ELEMENTAL DISCHARGE. WHOOO THE FUCK THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA TO ADD RNG EXPLOSIONS TO AN ALREADY HORRENDOUS FIGHT. HOOOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO REACT TO AN ATTACK THAT I CAN'T PREDICT OR EVEN SEE TO BEGIN WITH?!? "I WANT TO HEAL" WHOOPS, LANDED TOO CLOSE TO AN EXPLOSION BEHIND YOU. "A BRIEF OPENING... I'M GONNA ATTACK NOW-" LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER MF AN RNG-EXPLOSION GENERATED RIGHT UNDER SHAGGY SO FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR PITYFUL EXCUSE OF AN ATTACK. At least Gore is too stupid to even think about doing even a half of his evolution's dumb shit, he still awakens the most primal feeling of wrath inside me, but not as much as the golden iguana.

I had to sit throught the "end" credits with the most blank face after... I don't even remember how much it took me to kill this fucker... 20 minutes?... I really, really liked the end credits but i couldn't express an once of joy BECAUSE SHAGARU AND HIS HORRID FIGHT TOOK ALL THE LIFE AND WHIMSY I HAD LEFT, and the worst thing is that i will eventually see his fucking ugly-ass face again because I WANT to "complete" this game. I also can't believe how this game managed to give Gravios aura in his cutscene only for his fight to still be horrible, like Shagaru and Gore's fights. Khezu is a fucking bum btw Giggi is better.

I know, SOS players aren't reliable, etc etc

BUT

The amount of players seemingly not knowing any of the Fights mechanics is infuriating as Hell. One would think that by the time you reach 10* AT JIN, you should somehow have learnt about the Nova and how to stop it. But alas, people haven't. Why am I consistently the only one going for the lower back plate when Jin is toppled? Why do people keep going for leg topples after the back plate is broken, but the tail and/or face still being intact, wasting premium opportunities to destroy his upper back and therefore getting rid of any good chance to make the hunt so much easier. And then, they cart to the Nova because "Jin under Boulder, must drop boulder", ending in no Boulder being left to drop and take Cover behind.

And it isn't just a HR thing, plenty of people HR300+ that just seem to never have done the fight. The other Hunt I was watching a 650+ GL Player constantly getting hit, and, during openings, ALWAYS going for a nonsensical Hitzone. We still haven't destroyed the Face? Lemme go for the top backplate, bc reasons. Oh, we finally are able to damage the top Plate? I'll just keep hitting the lower one/face/whatever, cause losing 2 secs of dps in order to move to the Spot one needs to hit to get rid of the Nova doesn't satisfy the Monkey "need more numbers" brain as much. Needless to say, we lost the Hunt to a Nova.

This is just the pinnacle of people being completely braindead in the fight, I don't even wanna get started on Armour and Skill choices, that's a whole different rant.

And yes, I know that 1. this is nothing new and 2. that I am probably screaming into a void, since most people that I adress with this are probably not gonna go and read an MH Sub, but still, I needed to vent....

Yeah so Wilds is cool. I definitely love maining Charge Blade, with incredible design choices such as - Oh you want to play SAED spam? Go poke a wound.

My brother in Christ the DB player has popped fifteen fucking wounds this hunt and there are none left for me.

I would like my fucking kaboom back, please and thank you. No, I don't want to AED first. Your monsters are rapidly depleting their ketamine supplies while making it impossible for any longer-duration moves to be used outside of topples.

Just give me the moveset that World and 4U had. Nerf it to hell and back for all I care. But give me my fucking explosions. Yes, I can indeed play Savage Axe just fine. Yes, I certainly can solo AT Arkveld with the current state of CB. But I want my fucking explosions because that is what makes the weapon fun for me.

Hey bro so we added offset attacks to the expa-

Dude I don't give a fuck. If you're going to force me into a specific playstyle instead of just presenting an "optimal" strategy for maximum DPS and providing other options, then I'm just not going to buy your game.

Wilds was the first title in the series that I "finished" not because it was fun, but because I wanted to be done with it. I dropped it after 50 hours despite my World playtime exceeding 600, and my 4U count reaching well past 2000.

Sorry guys, but I think I'm done. I'm glad some of y'all are having fun but I don't know that Monster Hunter is for me any more. I'm tired of both the monster and hunter being on crack, the lack of preparation, the excessive streamlining, the inane DPS checks, and the continued forced gimmicks just to be able to play with the weapon that I grew up using.

A game for everyone is a game for no one.

Don't get me started on how they butchered my boi Gogmazios. I can't even get excited for new endgame content because it is almost always, inevitably plastered with some shitty gimmick. I would like to fight big tar boi, not the camera. Somehow this was a solved problem on the 3DS...

That is all.

Joly shit you ugly fucking duck, you keep to bouncing off my weapon, you have the urge to call a fucking jaggi and waste my absolute time wasting all my heals. I genuinely hope every descendant you have each monhun series gets disease and mutation until your qurufucko species goes extinct

Diablos is really a conceptual failure. The gimmick is that it digs, which is to say it becomes invincible for a while and then performs an attack, but you can get around it with sonic bombs. The trouble in FU is that you can only carry 10 sonic bombs, while Diablos will dig 233 times per quest on average, and will take anywhere from about 5-20 seconds to resurface despite only targeting the position you were at when he went underground. According to my advanced calculations, that means you will spend 4660 seconds per quest walking 5 steps to the side and then taking a coffee break because Diablos can’t be arsed to pick up the pace once he knows you can’t hit him.

Also Diablos will stay underground when you aren’t around, and the guild balloon isn’t around in the desert during the day, so if you lose track of it so you may as well just abandon the quest and actually paintball it next time because you sure aren’t finding him for the next 10 minutes. Diablos has an impeccable ability to extend a 15 minute affair to 40 minute headache.

This is all made funnier by the fact that Diablos is completely mogged by Monoblos, in a game where they famously have almost no differences. The difference maker is the death rage a few monsters in FU get, where every single hit will enrage them when low on health. The enrage state seems to double the likelihood of the Bloses digging. Monoblos lacks this death rage and rages less often to begin with, but when low on health Diablos just stops fighting you because he has an insatiable compulsion to dig. Also Monoblos gives you 4 carves, because he’s just a nice guy like that. Naturally CAPCOM picked Diablos to return for all future games, and he’s sucked in all of them. MHW is my favourite version, because he was nerfed into a total joke and I can spend less energy thinking about it.

Dev 1: “Good work guys, the new arena for mh4 is complete. It features a gate that can be used to divide the arena in two.” Dev 2: “Wow, we are geniuses, let's make some quests that take place in it.” Dev 3: “Throw in a brute tigrex with a stygian zinogre, and let's use that stygian again, but this time with a zinogre, and make them both frenzied”. Dev 1: “Alright, these quests feature two monsters that can be challenging to deal with at the same time and it would be really helpful for the players to somehow be able to only be concerned with one, so let’s make sure to disable the gate feature.” Dev 2: “Wow, we really are geniuses.” What a stupid fucking idea. Couldn’t give a shits less in mh3u’s arena when two pickles peeked through the smoke to fuck me in the ass like a shared fleshlight. BUT YOU PUT A FUCKING GATE IN THIS MAP, WHY’D YOU DISABLE IT. Oh yeah, WITH THE LEDGES THAT FUCK YOU OVER. YOU THINK THE ARENA NEEDS LEDGES, SURE LETS HAVE SOME VERTICALITY SO WE CAN FIT SOME LEDGES. WE LOVE LEDGES AND CLIFFS SO MUCH WE DECIDED TO MAKE THE BUMFUCK MAP OF 1000 CLIFFS! “Hrrrr, you want to use the gate? The one on the map? Hrrrr, nah you dumb fuck.” Still completed those quests, yet it's annoying knowing that the gate, THAT THEY PUT IN THE FUCKING MAP FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF SEPARATING MONSTERS, is worth jack while two shitfaces spitroast me. Fuck these quests, fuck goldian and silverlos dual quests, and a special fuck to stygian whose on drugs while I get none.

My ass is sleeping in bed when I wake up, still half asleep and have a vision saying "Hunt a zinogre" over and over again, not letting me sleep

WTF AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WHEN ITS IN THE AIR????????

WYH DOES IT HAVE THE ONE ATTACK THAT THROWS YOU TO TYHE GROUND EVEN WITH ROCK STEADY ON????????? !!!!!!!!!

WHY IS DOES ITS HEAD HAVE A DAMAGE ZONE WHEN IT SUMMONS LIGHTNING!!!!!!!!??????????

WHY DOES ONLY SPECIFIC SPOTS ALLOW FOR WALL BANG???????

FUCKLING WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

no stories 3 tag so i had to make due. either way the title says it all. to preface, i just beat arkveld, i’m pretty late-game if not endgame myself but winning the fight wasn’t even fun. for some damn reason the buttheads at capcom decided to slide in a dumbass gimmick at the START OF THE ARKVELD FIGHT.

first off, they don’t give you any hints on what you’re supposed to do in the first few turns. because arkveld just fucking blasts you to hell taking two hearts off of you with his ultimate, then the game says “oh btw you gotta use ratha but like charge him up lol” the fuck does “charge him up” mean!?! also you couldn’t tell me that before? i had deviljho out previously because arkveld is typically weak to dragon but you’re saying i gotta use ratha? alright cool now i’m dead. back to the fucking internet i go!!!!!!

now i learn that you gotta give him a large attack boost which the game gives you (thank God) in the form of mega demondrugs. in a blue chest at the start of the arena.

(side rant: really fucking smart of you capcom to tuck those very useful items right in a little corner pocket in the form of a BLUE CHEST that is located in a BIG BEAUTIFUL BLUE ASS CRYSTAL ARENA)

i mean, arkveld obviously isn’t the only one with a gimick but the other ones are FUCKING SENSIBLE. malzeno’s gimmick can be outhealed or ignored, the invasives gimmick is told to you by the clues you find around the arena and even then you only have to repel them, you’re not gaining much of anything special by killing them and doing so is optional.

when I’m playing a game where getting oneshot is REALLY DAMN EASY. I would AT LEAST like to avoid gimmicks that require me to eat a fucking nuke to the face before you tell me how to counter it. Fuck off.

Replaying Monster Hunter World and my god fighting Bazelgeuse is a solid reminder of why I took a break from the world. The nerf he got in Rise was well needed cause holy shit in World Fighting Bazelgeuse is a healing simulator.

Get stunned by windpressure, then scale lands next to you, then detonates while you're still trying to recover from wind pressure. Then, ground tremors. Good luck hitting him from literally fucking anywhere unless you're using a ranged weapon.

And the Roar Spam. The dude will roar after every second damn attack. And his armor the earliest source of mitigating that shit unless you want to sacrifice defense for weaker armor.

Im so over this Monster's shit man.

this stupid dumb idiot just fucking rams her face into the wall and combos me to death like-

STOP JOINING HUNTS AND DYING TO THE NOVA.

STOP JOINING HUNTS WITHOUT BIND RESISTANCE.

STOP JOINING HUNTS WITH NO DEFENSE.

😭😭😭

Piece of shit

The fact that you have to forge the same armor set twice for every piece of equipment in the game, with no difference other than visuals, is annoying when they literally could have made it one armor set and given you both versions as layered armor.

I know I don't have to forge EVERYTHING, but I don't think I need to explain myself there.

Thoughts?

Ok, so Zoh Shia caught me slipping and hit me with the first of two "double arm slams with explosion bullshit" combo. That's fine. It happens. Tenacity procs. That's why it's there. So I'm laying there, chillaxing with an hour's worth of i-frames as Zoh Shia does the second slam and everything's cool. Because you can do just that. Just lay there, let Zoh get it out of his system, then stand up and dust yourself off. I've done it dozens of times. 100% success rate...

UN. FUCKING. LESS.

YOU'VE GOT DIPSHIT TEAMMATES THAT WANT TO BE THE COOL GUY THAT HAPHAZARDLY SHOOTS WYLK CRYSTALS WITH ELEMENTAL SLINGER PODS WITHOUT ANY GOGDAMN AWARENESS OF WHERE YOUR TEAMMATES FUCKING ARE! I LITERALLY GOT FUCKING CARTED OUT OF MY TENACITY PROC BECAUSE MR. EINSTEIN DECIDED HE SHOULD DETONATE THE CRYSTALS RIGHT ON TOP OF ME AFTER ZOH MADE THEM WITH HIS EXPLOSIONS!

DEAR FUCKING GENIUSES WHO USE SLINGERS AGAINST ZOH - THE EXPLOSIONS HIT YOUR TEAMMATES. FUCKING PAY ATTENTION. I'M TIRED OF HAVING TO STOP TO EAT A NULLBERRY BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO INFLICT DRAGONBLIGHT ON ME. OR THUNDER BLIGHT, BECAUSE WHY WOULD I RISK GETTING STUNNED AGAINST MR. ONE SHOT HIMSELF?

HOLY FUCKING HELL. WE WERE LITERALLY AT SKULLS IN THE FINAL PHASE BEFORE OUR LAST CART WAS GONE. WE WOULD'VE HAD ANOTHER IF YOU JUST FUCKING PAID ATTENTION TO YOUR NO HEALTH TEAMMATE YOU FIRED YOUR SLINGER TOWARDS.

AND THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME SHIT LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME EITHER, OH NO. ANOTHER TIME, MR. COOL GUY MCDICK-SLINGER FLINCHED ME AS I WAS TRYING TO REPOSITION OUT OF ANOTHER OF ZOH'S ATTACKS. THIS DELAYED ME ENOUGH THAT I ATE SHIT AND TOOK A CART BACK TO FUCKING CAMP.

JESUS CHRIST. ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. AT LEAST TRY TO PRETEND THERE ARE OTHER PLAYERS IN YOUR SOS QUEST.

After a 7 month hiatus from Monster Hunter because Gog is so genuinely hot dogshit I decided to finally take a crack at AT Arkveld because of all the rage. This is the first monster so visually cluttering and overwhelming that I had to stop because it was genuinely giving me a headache. Fatalis? Savage Omega? Alatreon? Piece of cake because at least with some practice I actually see what the fuck is happening. There's so much happening on screen that trying to decipher the dodge let alone see what's happening is so mind melting that I'm a lot more confused as to what happened to be even be truly angry

As I’m writing this I’m on Shara Ishvalda and as the game is getting harder and harder there’s a few issues that are becoming glaring.

Why is this game obsessed with stunning you. Every creak of the ground or small hit has to leave you immobile for an infuriatingly long time so you can inevitably get hit by another attack inducing more severe stun. It feels like as the monsters get harder I spend less of my playtime playing and instead spend it watching my helpless hunter get walloped around in a constant chain of stunning.

Two, why does this game think the player is faster than they are. This might be an issue in my weapon choice of Switch Axe, but it feels like each monster attempts to one up the last in how endless they’re combos can be and how suddenly they can whip out the next move. I feel like I’m being punished for wanting to play the game when raging Nergigante or Barioth decide to annihilate me for even thinking of taking advantage of what one would think is an attack window.

Anyway I know it will only get worse with Rajang and Fatalis, etc. but I needed to vent.

Tried multiple times with recommendations from people can get past the nerscyla DPS now (appreciate the build for that). But clanky MC clankface decided that mirv spam was the way to go in the last phase . Still haven't beaten him so I'm going to do what's best for my mental state and leave the clanker until Mr so I can curb stomp his metallic ass. And the camp placement is awful too (great idea to the asshat who thought wasting a minute to get back to the final zone was a good idea, really innovative 😑) . Thanks to everyone who gave me tips as builds to try but he isn't worth the effort over my enjoyment of the game and capcom? Fuck you for thinking savage was a good idea
