6:54 “no please not like this” was funny 😹

I think is about time Monster Hunter got some good competition.

I wish there was a way to use the shuriken as a main weapon. It looks really cool and I love the idea of a boomerang type short "ranged" weapon.

I am loving this weapon. My only complaint is that the mutation stacks dissappear so quickly if you're not hitting the morph attacks. Feels bad on some aggressive monsters that you can't just keep hitting

This weapon looks awesome. Def will try it out when I pick up wild hearts. It reminds me of Aswel for SC6

Definitely a weapon I would use. Well done demo, thanks.

Those dual tonfa mode looks legit!

It would be awesome if you guys made a more detailed video about the specific attacks and rotations you like to do with the weapon

Loving you guys thank you for this

If/When I get Wild Hearts I'm thinking of using this weapon as a main. It looks so good man.

this kinda reminds me of my idea for an new Mh weapon. it always bothered me that the two weapons that humanity used as hunter/gatherers to hunt were never properly represented: the spear and the throwing stick/boomerang. sure, there’s the lance, but i’m talking about a 2 handed hunting spear that tribal people would have used. same with the boomerang: it’s there.. but it’s not really a weapon. so what i wanted was a quick moving 2 handed spear, like the dual blades are to the long sword, this would be like that to the lance. so no shield, but, it could then be folded in half and be thrown like a boomerang like the Giant Boomerang from Zelda BotW. so this looks like it’ll be fun and i’ll have to try it out! 👍

I'm loving this. I love the fact that the game rewards you for knowledge and timing. You don't lots of defensive reaction mechanics (AFAIK) outside the wagasa and so knowing the kemono's moveset and being patient with your dodges is super rewarding. This game looks so much fun and a great addition to the monster hunting genre! :D

As a CB main, this looks fire

Wow a 5 min hunt is super quick

I saw the video of Cowboy using this and it’s incredibly difficult but once you get the hang of it, the DPS is just fucking insane and very satisfying… I’m still practicing and learning with it but it’s so goddamn satisfying to hit the full charge Judgement Blade

Man I love the look of the tonfas

Game looks 🔥🔥🔥

I've been absolutely loving the claw blade so far, I'd be keen to see how you guys go using it on one of the harder creatures!

is there a way to use one of the forms or is it that it reverts back to its staff automatically?

So Satisfying !

Hey what are those stuff you guys build around when hunting monsters, what are they called?

seriously bummed that i can’t pick this game up at launch. looks like so much fun.

Weapons look good

I'd like to see some nodachi. Nodachi and the staff are the 2 weapons that speak to me the most.

Yep im going to main that one first

I think the karakuri staff it's a technical weapon it can be a dual knives, a spear, or a giant shuriken just like from Naruto.

I'd be interested to see how range weapons fair in this game :o

Hey, ive been asking around but I only have access to the first 5 weapons, is there something wrong or am I not far enough in the story?

Toukiden 3 looking really good

The Giant Greatsword of the Karakuri Staff is Most Absolutely my Most favorite part as well!!!!!

cant wait til tomorrow night

Holy shit, this is just MonHun BUT different! As it stands on it's own, you can prodly call it its equivalent of a "Doom Clone." So, happy we got a competitor in this genre.

I would love to see u guys live stream the game and play it together this was very entertaining because of y'all two

Can you use the cannon next?

Does Wild Hearts have a room/home you can decorate like Monster Hunter World? Just curious

Is there any way to fix the network error or the add on not showing up? A lot of players are experiencing this so I was wondering if there is a fix?

Hello starter weapon~

This gives me a mix of Monster Hunter Graphics and Dauntless' Gnasher monster

I'm tryna see the Cannon in action if you can lads

That giant shuriken reminds me of the demon wind shuriken from Naruto

This weapon could be 3 of new weapon, the one who design this must be smoking something damn gooood so he go hella greedy with it lol

I think karakuri staff is so over powered (OP)..

Would love to see a Maul hunt 😳

I want that weapon in real life. I ALWAYS love morphing weapons. Probably why I loved RWBY back when the morphing weapons mattered and were cool!

8:20 the look on its face as you went to finish it off.. that hurts... thats so sad..

HAMMER !!!’

i would have just loved a staff/glaive weapon. the extra morphs are cool but not my favorite. still my favorite weapon though

You can stun Gritdog out of the belly drum with the giant hammer

After playing a few hours of the trial and also playing Monster hunter; I’m gonna prematurely say that Wild Hearts is way more fun to play plus it looks better as well

I've not seem too many people who's done these video mention this but would you guys say this is worth full price? I'm liking the look of it but for asking price tho? Not sure

game looks cool but I am literally playing rise all the time now I didn't start with it until it came on game pass but now i'm hooked and i can cross save between pc and xbox. So this game does look cool but for 70 bucks when am still working toward endgame in rise is maybe not for me just yet.

Something I noticed watching this but it seems like if you do a leaping aerial attack into transform you get 2 gauge segments instead of just one. You did it a few times in the video. 2:22 is the first time it happens. Sometime later it happens and the gauge is red and glowly despite being mostly empty until you land the transform for 2 gauges. I think maybe the gauge was about to time out.

This is like Kougan Anki from Recca

Funny enough, the shuriken is not actually a shuriken, I forgot the actual name of it, but it's a reference from dw6 from Lu Bu's main weapon since it's made by the creators of that game :)

Why arent you guys getting the threads off of Gritdog tho? Hehe.

i just want to know how that is a dog, looks more like a racoon unless its a racoon dog, also finally a proper spear in a hunting game

I like the karakuri staff but the karakuri katana is more reliable for me.

has anyone seen the Korean series the kings avatar its the main dudes weapon lord grim acts the same way and i love it

Hmmm... I kind of hate this. Dont get me wrong, its an awesome design. BUT! No one makes bo staves anymore. Was really looking forward to just a bo staff. Guess I'll have to find another weapon to main T_T

Pls what armor is that

The staff isn't about getting the combo timing correct... Its meant to be but it ain't. All you do is mash R2 + Square together as fast as you can and the weapon plays itself. It's the most simple weapon in the game

devs probably thought of u cant manually pick the transformations, i think they want us to use it in its full potential, they probably learned from nioh 2, there was a weapon there called switchglaive, u can transform it through 3 forms, but most people, including me, just uses 1 form. i think if u can utilize every form in every situation, this weapon can be a beast.

How do you unlock it ??

This makes me hope that they add that shuriken-style weapon (as it's own weapon) to Monster Hunter 6. Because Monster Hunter likes to make the weapons have an equal partner, they could add in the Tonfas from MH: Frontier. They could be classed as the "Throw" weapons.

I am not suprised if this weapon will be the first get rebalance. Its quite op compared to nodaichi / gs that takes years to charge n yet pitiful damage XD.

So are you quitting KZfaq or no I’m so confused?

Not a fan that the movements and graphics look worse that MHW which is a older fame, but I still am exited to try this game

Is the game out?

*_INTRO_* The staff is a bad weapon... In games such as this the reason Monster Hunter is so revered is due to its weapon variety.. *_PROBLEM_* Creating a Chameleon weapon in which I understand how cool that seems, it ultimately fractures weapon diversity... Especially since the weapons the staff incorporates do not seem to have cohesion... The Polearm doesn't make any sense to be on the weapon due to Shuriken being a range choice, if piercing is the purpose then what does that look like when enhancing your weapon and being able to have different weapon physical characteristics etc. (Slash, Pummel, and Lunge). Changing from weapon to weapon is a horrible aspect of not only weapon customization but within the weapon itself because it defeats the purpose of the enhance tree of different weapon types based upon this weapon having 4 extremely unique weapons into one with different properties. *_• Staff would be Pummel... Mainly_* *_• Tonfas would be Lunge/Pummel... Mainly_* *_• Shuriken would be Slash/Pierce... Mainly_* *_• Spear would be Pierce/Slash... Mainly_* If Staff was it's own staff actual weapon in the game, when you change weapon characteristics through your enhancement tree; Spear would be an aspect of Piercing and Slash when enhancing... Passively... This is the concept of design before even getting into the actual combat problems with this weapon. *_COMBAT_* Aside from having 4 Unique weapons in one, the weapon struggles with either trying to be each individual weapon or trying to be all of them at once... The combos in rotation only yield 1 - 2 hitting combos until seemingly having to morph otherwise repeating a one or 2 hit combo that's laughably poor by itself. Yes, some hit multiple times such as the Tonfas, Shuriken and Spear... But here's why that's not as significant as it seems... One knockdown and your back to staff form to starting right back at the beginning of your weapons rotation. This means that there's isn't any point in sticking to one form THAT DOES MATTER... Spear form and Shuriken form both have relative DPS attacks in a specific cone that if they were their own weapon, could really function extraordinarily. Yet, they are reduced to having to rotate once your weapon is sheathed and repeat. Phase 2 of morphing, your weapon recieves a slight change that has you do two light attacks instead of one for each and 3 for Spear... The only way to get to this point is if you successfully morph through all stages, back to the cycled weapon, meaning Staff, Tonfas, Shuriken, Spear, then back to Staff, Tonfas, Shuriken, and finally, Spear again... That button sequence is... *_A1×2, {A3}, A1×2, {A3}, {A3}, A1x2, {A3}, A1×2, {A3}, A1 {A3},_* then finally you've reached Spear again to do a 3 hit combination that's seemingly a combo with the weapon. *(A1 = Attack 1, X, Square etc.)* *(A2 = Attack 2, Y, Triangle etc.)* *(A3 = Attack 3 or Speacial, RT, R2, etc.)* As such the commitment to this combo sequence and the prowess to trying to not get hit from non indication just eyeball timing area of effect attacks then continuing your morph sequence is extremely frustrating. Spring helps, Chain Trap, Harpoon, Fireworks, all help but ultimately they can only do so much, and spamming Katakuri should not be the way this game should be played unless it's the Pummel Katakuri. Kemono wouldn't genuinely never allow you to do that entire sequence listed above unless they are toppled, chained or distracted... Of course in multiplayer Staff works relatively fine but solo gameplay is drastically different. Even if this game is meant to be played multiplayer, it defeats the purpose of solo gameplay in which a lot of players still value as well. *_METER_* For the life of me, the meter gain from doing certain attacks, glider air attack into morph, gives you 2 ticks of mutation and is just awful for the commitment. As well as the in-between hits of morphs giving you none... I understand balancing although; it's not worth it being how all over the place Staff gameplay is, a weapon with this ideology should not be as dysfunctional... When weapons such as Claw exist... Even within Katakuri attack only the Crate functions as the only viable meter gain. As well as the coolest moves being incorporated from Katakuri, I understand you want us to use Katakuri but, those attacks are extremely well done and to be locked behind absolutely having to use Katakuri is pain. *_TL : DR_* *(ALSO SOLUTION)* Separate Staff, and make those weapons single weapons or, give the option to dismantle the weapon whilst still keeping the entire kit. In dismantling you would be able to play all 4 weapon with full kits on their own, with fully flushed out polished combat adding 13 weapons to the game and you could mismatch them, the Tonfas and Spear attacks from Katakuri are really cool, as well as the Spear pinwheel attack into a Shuriken bounce. *_DISCLAIMER_* Players will say, *"You aren't using it properly or skill issue,"* or, *"That's YOUR opinion."* They will also say, *"It's the developers game, let them do what they want."* The reason these two things are false is due the function of the weapon itself... Staff does not do a great job trying to be any of those weapons individual as I've stated before, nor does it do a good job in being all of them at once... This defeats the statement, *"You aren't using it properly"* by the weapons design to having to find a way around the weapons bad parts that do outweigh it's good parts as well as based on other weapons distinctively to make the weapon function. Finding a way to make a weapon or thing work, does not make it a good weapon or thing, it just makes it work, which is by itself a nerf and fault in logic. Things have to be fluent to work properly. Such as this weapon that does not. This also defeats the argument that all of this is a bias opinion due to the absolute fact that these are not personal aspect but an exact functionality of the weapon and game. Again, finding a way to make them work isn't always ideal especially when other factors limit not only the weapon, but the game and the logic to explain this as well. Such as, *"That's YOUR opinion."* Against the statement, *"It's the developers game let them do what they want."* is not only a horrible standpoint but, selfish and very narcissistic being both qualities of dishonest when creating a product for anyone. Fan service is what happens when consumers are too selfish and narcissist; Developers can also act in this regard as we are all still humans... Even with it being their product they produced, it is no longer just there's when you pay 70 dollars for that product to experience and enjoy it. It becomes everyone's so genuinely everyone who cares should have an opinion or critic with facts. This defeats the statement, *"It's the developers game let them do what they want."* *_Thank You_* If you read this far, you're a very interesting being and I'll follow you on this app.

Combat looks fun but they really went super budget/generic with the world design

Can we skip cutscenes? I’ve never cared about hunter type games story.

Wow weapons look great. I wish thr environment didn't look so rough. Lots of poor textures, flat terrain, and popins. Just an ugly world. Might try to look past that and play. Just looks a bit janky.

Would be interested if I literally didn’t just sink the last 50 hours into MH rise 😂 they’re literally the same game lol

looks like a monster hunter clone

Man I'm sure glad this not Monster Hunter game took my least favorite mechanic of the monster running away

They should have split this into more weapons. Staff, shuriken, and axe should all be separate weapons. It's stupid to have 5 in one. If you like one you're stuck with low dps. Huge miss here. Especially with very few weapon types in the game. I like the buster sword super though, just not attached to 5 weapons.

Looks like a ps3 game

So this is just a Monster Hunter clone?

Karakuri Staff has way too much advantage over other weapons.

Without arreks it's not the same😭

Runs and looks like shit on Series S

Is it just me or is the movement in this game looking very clunky? Also the visuals make it seem like it's a Switch port like MHR

no. the game doesnt work. so no weapons arent awesome. because im salty they release their game broken for $70 fucking dollars.

Copy Dauntless>Monster Hunter = Shit

MH clone ...

The hit boxes on the monster stacks look way too forgiving
