@The Stonefish you are the king of comedy, rocky piscine.

My favorit monster is still the Barroth, first monster i ever beat where i truly felt the rush of beating the monster and the flow of the battle was amazing.. I also love the design of it 😁

Maybe with the way they code their skills new bugs could arise, so they opted to cut it out completely.

Cant fix it? Scrap it

Wouldn't it be great if people could do that more often? A balanced, sensible, well-adjusted opinion instead of thoughtless biased baby-rage. Especially in politics.

yeah that would really fix a lot of problems

I don't really liked magnamalo, but because the fight is bad, but because it's doesn't feel like living creature like many of the MH cast, but an actual "monster".

@The Stonefish Here's that biased baby rage I mentioned.

I get genuinely happy whenever I see people who are able to give genuine criticism, but are also able to give praise where praise is due. Reasonable, logical people who you can have genuine arguments with are hard to come by these days

I know this comment was at least a year ago by literally every time when I was playing rise and Sun break i would always hit it cuz I just loved seeing them bounce around the place as they exploded

Tbh I prefer getting to high places being a chore. I, personally, really enjoy the trip to the monsters, especially in mhgu. The maps are just beautiful, and not being able to maneuver around wherever you want really makes me feel like a small person in a big, natural, beautiful map. Not to shit on rise, but some of its maps are just.... eh. Some of the maps look weirdly blue, especially when it comes to distant trees and mountains, and for some reason they brought back the flooded forest and made it... less flooded, which was like, the entire gimmick of the place. Out of all the maps they could bring back, why did they bring back the map that was like, 50% underwater and dry it up? Is the flooded forest canonically drying up or something? I would've taken the tundra over this adaptation of the flooded forest... Still gonna buy sunbreak tho

dango are actually super nutritious. it is all rice and tofu, pretty much nothing but protein and carbs with some added flavor.

@@thepowah4734 try look at the citadel and jungle in sunbreak, those ones are beautiful.

Its a fun version of the MH for sure. No Side Filler Mission, Not too much grind needed only if you are getting the 1% drop material. Compare to the old game its a good thing. Its more to straight to the action rather than wasting 30 min in walking simulator. And the whole story and rampage is fun and a npc that actually join and help in defending their home is a huge plus for me. But their story ending was very lacking of impact and relatable to the prior MH saga. But most of the Veteran will say the game is about Fight the monster not story telling. And when MH dev actually made game focusing in the fighting part and actually made it fun rather than a chore. Those elitist wanna be crying rn for no reason at all.

@@thepowah4734 is MHGU the one from switch before rise? I picked that up in a sale, but haven't played it much due to not playing my switch very often... it's dying for a PC port.

The main reason we don't lose the HP and stamina boost after fainting is due to Spiribirds acting as true gates, while you could easily top up to max in previous games while sacrificing a very valuable resource: an item pouch slot. I have no idea how impactful they are in Worldborne but a single item slot in old gen can be the difference between a TPK, a dragged out hunt, or a quest failure, with High Rank throwing you into random areas in the map and the item box not containing anything at all except for a map.

@The Stonefish I mean, most of the health and stamina buffs are from spiribirds. Do you really want people to do all the running to get bird stuff again lol.

@The Stonefish i miss this. While i appreciate the Itembox... i really miss being a "prepared" Hunter.

@@Y0G0FU i miss being an actual hunter and not an anime protagonist. I used to respect these beautiful and dangerous beasts, even when i have mastered them, they always gave me hard times if i were to drop my concentration. Now they're my bitches and i dmc5 styled all over them.

@@its_sisha_not_chair505 This.

I really wanna try the surge slash style, it looks really fun

While I agree about the fun part, I don't like a greatsword move looking indistinguishable from something a lance or longsword would be able to do. Kind of merges their visual- aswell as gameplay identities to me. Sure, I guess it elevates status or elemental GS to be somewhat viable, but at what cost?

@@niklasmitfussl2639 I agree but at the same time accepting because how distinct can the moves or animations be when both of them are essentially really "long swords"

@@manbat4582 Good point, and I contemplated about that aswell. The difference to me is the weight they should have (in theory, I realize it's all fantasy and the weapons are all way too big) and that feeling of weight just gets lost, which again, merges their gameplay identities.

@@niklasmitfussl2639 well now that sunbreak is out, has your opinion changed? To me it seems like surge basically uses the weight the charged based attacks had to allow the attacks to come out faster, so instead of the weight adding power, it adds speed

@The Stonefish Subjective?

@The Stonefish I don't mind magnamalo's design, and he's the single best fight for me in rise. Don't really care about the story or his involvement. Never really cared about story in mh tbh. So yea. A fantastic monster in by books

@The Stonefish Magnamalo does tread the line of fantasy, I agree, and his story integration is a little dumb? But it's monster hunter so who cares. Monsters should aim to uphold 3 main elements if you ask me, that being gameplay, immersion and ecology. Magna does all 3. Banging OST to boot and Hellfire Is a very interesting status which punishes mindless gameplay. You could argue that its design is overkill but otherwise it's a good monster.

The core combat and flow is different from how MH used to be. It's not mastering it. It completely changed it.

@@nuke2099 I mean, its more like mhgu.

Enjoy both!

Lets rise together Almudron fans !

i will join the almudron fanclub :P one of my favorite fights, but i'm the only person in my circle of friends that seems to enjoy it lol

I mean, criticism is fair game tho, if its actually helpful. Most people just vent like "boo-hoo Rise aint like 4U" and others are like "Rise is not like World" and they both are just annoying. There are good things to say about rise, but it screws up in alot of places.

@@VenariMyDream I'm late but I'll join the Almudron fanclub

@The Stonefish ???

Unfortunately there are people like The Stonefish over here who make it their duty to shit on Rise at every opportunity

For me it was the opposite, World really disappointed me but Generations Ultimate reignited my love for the series and pushed me to at least try Iceborne

@The Stonefish you don't like Rise? So why you are wasting your time in Rise related videos? Well just for the sake of complaining because Rise is actually very damn well received and you can't stand it. Everything better in older games my ass, you just bash to newer games and like many others, for sure you did say stuff like this to World. You don't like the faster combat? Well that is you, and for me and many is better in many ways than before. Rathalos and Kushala fights for example were better in older games? Very much dubt about it lol

I quite disagree with few points. While I love both games, and admittedly, Rise is more fun interms of combat, I wouldnt say it is a refinment of the cpre combat in Monster Hunter and more so changing it to be more accesible, easier and to some degree, less appealing to me. I think it comea down to preference but design wise, World is more closer to the older games than Rise interms of combat, map design and ecology. With Rise, ecology is just none existent, the map is fun to traverse but not as immersive as the older games, specifically with World if we want to compare, and the combat as well as difficulty being easier and faster, for Sunbreak, it imprpved a lot from Rise yet it still kind of maintain few of its problems but it improved up9n difficulty in the later parts of the game, Rise kinda didnt have that challenge or at least, walls to overcome like Anjanath, Nergigante and to some degree, Vaal Hazak. Again, it come down to preference as I prefer World's design approach to combat and such which I really hope the next entry could have a mix between the older games philosophy of design and world's since I think Sunbreak succeed at what it wants to acheive. For maps, Im uncertain why you complained about it while in combat, I had no issues at all maybe except with the Ancient Forest, other than that, it is not bad actually, infact, I would say it is better since you can have the enviroment at your advantage against the monster as well as an impressive and masterful storytelling enviroment and ecology. Interms of design, World's map design by far is better, however, Rise's map design is also excellent and quite frankly, does its own thing rather than doing the same thing with World but builda upon its foundation. For the roster, I kinda disagree, yes, Kushala and Lunastra were terrorising the Hunters but other than that, most fights in World is fantastic. Nergigante, Vaal Hazak, Legiana, Paolumu, Velkhana, Safii Jiiva, Great Jagras and so on. As for returning Monsters, I dont get why in his video said that Narcacuga and Zinogre werent as fun as before? I mean, it is not an argument for World's and I would say it is more of a preference than actual critique, and I really love their fight in World as much as they were in the older games. Rise/Sunbreak and World/Iceborne to me are equally and masterpieces at theit own right, it all comes down to preference since each of those two does have a whole different design philosophy to it. One focuses souly in combat and fast paced combat as well as being more arcady than any other, and the other tries to acheive an experience like no other as well as making the most immersive yet great combat for Monster Hunter. At the end of the day, it all comes down to preference.

That feeling when a monster hunter clicks is amazing I was able to click with the older games since 3U I started on tri but I fumbled my way thou that game 3U was when everything clicked and I'm glad you were able to finally click with the series

@@djmack6474 I’m hopeful that when I go back because I don’t now have to completely learn mechanics of weapons from the ground up that I’ll have an easier time getting into it. A lot less daunting compared to starting and needing to learn everything at once

Volvidon is way more difficult than he has any right to be as a low-level roly-poly armadillo thing.

Fuck Volvidon :D

*_(Anxiously side-eyes Hunter Styles from Generations Ultimate)_*

Just so you know. Rise sunbreak IS a mainline game. Its just directed by the portable team. But yeah switch skills have to be brought back AKA hunting styles or arts

@The Stonefish Silkbinds are arise thing only, but I would really like the posibility the change a weapon's moveset to my liking. Also why so tilted? I also prefer slower paced combat but I can enjoy Rise too

@The Stonefish Bruh, you are gonna get triggered by mhgu lol.

@The Stonefish Seems like You played MHW only, don't you? You don't know shit about MH franchise bruh

I prefer how DB's work in World. However they nerfed ground combo's in Rise making them not as good. Also Switch Skills are just Arts from Generations and GU with a different name.

I mean, especially that you can join a literally random quest is super fun tho

@The Stonefish because drama gets clicks.

@The Stonefish I've looked at your other comments and you seem to be quite negative and to be honest a bit of an asshole. Is everything ok? Or are you playing a character or something?

I mean, you still have to actually hit those super moves. If you don't, you're shit out of luck. Plus, increasing your SP level was pretty obtuse, if you weren't using Striker or Alchemy. I understand what you're saying though. Hunter arts really did seem like these big, strong anime moves that made you feel like an utter boss if you landed it.

I like the Dango system because it's reliable. I pick 3 skills I want and toss in an extremely easily acquired ticket and 9 times put of 10 have all 3 of those skills.

@@marcusaaronliaogo9158 Fun fact: Dark Souls is harder

Wasn't that in World already?

@@skeletonwar4445 Nope

@@makkre2563 it was though.

But now they have random talisman farming

@@Rhaegar19 I personally don't worry about it, since that was pretty much the case in previous monster hunters, decorations were created and talismans were just random stuff, that being said I consider talismans to be more of a bonus rather than necessary. Sure you can spend thousands of hours farming that talisman with the skill you want and perfect slots, but that point its just not worth it, as you would spend too much time for a very minor increase in power, for talismans I just look for a skill and 1 or 2 lvl 2 slots and call it a day XD. I also want to mention that as a charge blade main, which requires tons of different skills, all of them rare decorations in world, it was truly a pain :(

The SB demo has you get spiribirds occasionally without catching them on the map. Maybe it's a new petalace thing. A good fix could be a late game petalace that has lower stat maximums but just gives you a rainbow one so you are instantly ready without devaluing the petalaces that need to be slowly charged.

On Sunbreak, they said that you can now assign a specific button for wyvern riding in settings. Giving you the option on whether or not you want to ride a monster or not

@The Stonefish 🤓

@The Stonefish awe, did the big bad video game hurt you?

@The Stonefish ok 🤓

@The Stonefish you really took the time to make a negative comment under a video appreciating some positive aspects of rise. Just don’t play it and wait for MH6

@The Stonefish imagine being so miserable you had to post negativity on a positive video

What's wrong with Magnamalo?

@@simpleryoma He looks weird and the explosion boosts make it hard to follow. He's still good, just not a 10/10 like the other 10.

@@yurei4414 Lol well for me magnamalo is hands down the best fight in rise for me. Such a great dance once you understand it. His demo fight really tempered me and made me appreciate his fight so I could beat him. Honestly one of my favourite monsters. 10/10 for me :)

Iv played since Portable 3rd and Magnamalo for me is easily the best flagship alongside Gore Magala. We will have both in Sunbreak. And your idea for a Magnamalo subspecies is dope and fits his lore.

If you're on PC, there is a mod that ket you skips cutscene. Though it would be better to have this feature built into the game in the first place.

What are you talking about. Most vets seems to like world over rise. World even wins 80% of polls with 4U coming second.

As a player that started in freedom unite as a lot of "veterans" have i would disagree world felt a lot closer to the old monster hunter than rise or Gen/Gen U the combat flow in rise feels completely different than old monster hunter due to switch skills and silkbinds changin the move lists of all weapons drastically and personally i often feel that the new faster pace combat with more jumping around and other fancy movement skills lowered my enjoyment becuase it didn't feel like the original monster hunter anymore

Hard disagree, played every generation except 1st. This is not a love letter to the veterans, this is a love letter to portable design philosophy, and more importantly, GU. While yes, it doesn’t have styles, it does have the same mechanic when you get down to its core.

Hard disagree too, rise feels the furthest away from old Gen it has ever been, rise is good in its own regard, but not at all for me I keep going back and enjoy old Gen for hours on end while I can only enjoy rise for 1 to 2 hunts max

@@bigbaz4632 if it's a loveletter to gu it feels like a rather bad one, it just scratched the surface for me with the switch skills since those are meant to be like styles but for me they aren't and especially they cannot replace all 6 styles with 3 and now 5 switch skills. I prefer gu so much more over rise and even sunbreak now. I beat sunbreak and immediately went back to gu. But I see your point, if you had to compare it to something it would be more gu

Whatever it is, I hope we're to s more grounded, slower paced combat. Rise is good and I'm looking forward to Sunbreak, but I do want to expand and improve what World did, because I think this the direction the franchise needs to take.

As a hunter from the first gen MH i think base World did an amazing job, exception made for the retarded temporal mantle, good thing is that we didn't have to use, we could just not equip it and finish the hunts without it aside from that, for the first time a mainline game experimented, took a huge leap and nailed it right on the spot. Rise is also amazing because it took inspiration from World and went further on the same direction. There's only one thing i didn't like about MHWI and that's clutch claw. I know it's an unpopular take but i am honestly convinced that MH doesn't need clutch claw or wirebugs to be interesting. Those things in my humble opinion, belong to Batman and Spiderman games.

I really like how with LS I can swap between the Valour mode combo as well as the regular one depending on the situation.

Nargacuga tends to run around a lot in Iceborne, and he doesn't chain pounces together like he does with Rise and GU. He's not bad there at all but I love the GU version, and Rise Narga is GU Narga but slowed down for High Rank.

I imagine they did that because they knew people would miss palamutes in multiplayer. It's a cool addition but sometimes it would make things a bit hectic lol.

i wish they didn't add that tbh. it makes 4 man hunts unplayable

@@ashokrohan7232 the new visual effects toggle in sunbreak does wonders

@@HeavyWings oh yes that it does. But i wish they add an option to make the palamutes invisible. Because the models themselves obstruct the monster. Best thing I do is fire SOS flare, and cancel the join request after one player joins. That way it's 2 players + 2 pets totalling to 4, which is like classic MH

I agree. If there is one thing most people like about rampages, it's the smoother siege weapons (or installations as they are called in Rise). A big critisism for older fights is the constant reloading which has ceased to exist. This could make big fights like Lao or Mohrans very fun.

I like the idea of siege monsters I just wish they made it focus on a 4 man party rather than a "16 player" hunt. It would make hunts like kulve a drag unless you had a full lobby focused on it

@@chrisbarrera7202 That's true. It's probably not too hard to get a whole 16 player lobby to go after the Seige monster, but I imagine it'll be difficult once the popularity dies down and all you have is you and 3 other friends to play with.

The things it did wrong though do majorly hold it back from the top rankings for me It's below Iceborne, 4U, GU, and 3U for me, but above 3 and Gen. So third to the bottom for me since that's all I played in the series

@@peco595 and thats fine you like what you like, but its undeniable its amazing game

@@peco595 so basically what you are saying is out of all the MH games you've played, Rise is the best base base game you've played. In your ranking, all the ones above it are expansions

@@idrees25 Yup, so we'll see how Sunbreak fairs. Rise simply has the best gameplay of the base games I've played, though I've played it far less than either 3 or Gen despite that.

Some of the wrongs though... THEY NUKED MY HH
