pretty sure the apex roars are a warning the super move is coming and you need to stop it. Similar to ibushi rock throw, he holds them up and you have to destroy them or he will launch the rocks.

@@drowningin I'm glad it's that, and not the other way around... I'd be concerned if you couldn't pay attention to driving while listening to audiobooks

Man, thats actually lovely.

That almost works, except we’d still see them wandering around the maps

@@mx.e2176 I can't wait for the only Tetsucabra quest to require you to hunt FOUR of them.

@@mx.e2176 obviously Hojo wrangles them in his spare time and maintains a big ol' Tetsu farm so none of his children come to any harm. Just let me have my fantasy lol

Hojo shows up during a rampage, he drops 4 tetsucabra into the fight that protect the gates.

Gaijin, he has called Utushi ibushi countless times in previous podcasts.

I wish my two cats would get me jaspers. One of them always gets me poop and a bullfango head. Little psychopath

By Ruri's logic, I hope when he was playing World he only did the least rewarding investigations because that would mean he hunts more, right?

@@Howl_3DN They're probably giving you hints. "Shhitty boss needs to give meeow more purr-pets."

@@Howl_3DN Ik your comment is suppose to be funny, but just FYI if you set the cat behavior to Large Only or Large First they will exclusively target Large Monsters or prioritize them respectively. You can change behavior anytime

@@kadachinova5302 as the bois would say: "Sucks to be you!"

my dad was a math professor and statistics was his field of specialty, so your comment reminded me of him. I agree with you wholeheartedly. A proper table is better than true randomness.

Yeah but the problem comes up when the table sux

All I would wish with the tables is there would be a limit on a table and the it switches tables.

It’s so interesting to hear different people’s takes on number distributions. As a research scientist, number tables drive me nuts. Truest random numbers always look ugly with weird duplicates showing up right next to each other and the extremes either having seemingly way too many or way too few. But that’s the only data set makes the most sense statistically. (This may not matter to most, but in my line of work, data sets boil down to statistical relationships, so I guess I’m biased?) But, depending on how the table is programmed you might be changing certain variables dynamically or having a StdDev that gets more descriptive as you approach the mean with exceptions made for first and third quintiles. It makes statistics so much less meaningful, and I never know what I’m actually looking at haha. But getting back to the point of the video, of course you want something to protect against duplicates in your video games. I get there are no “true random number sets” in programming, but also, you just want to see different things, not weird clumps of the same thing around the mean. Wow... that was unnecessary in a KZfaq comment section... I’m going to go now

@@THE_Mirage Here's the deal... For the holy Trinity of skills you don't need slots on your WEx 2 Chrm. You can get Attack Boost 7, Weakness Exploit 3 and Critical Boost 3 if you're using Narga weapons. All it takes is Zinogre Head, Remombra Chest, Rath Hands, Anja Waist and Jang Legs. Slot in 3 Attack Gems and done. Set also throws Latent Power 2 for free

I definitely liked the narwa fight a whole hell of a lot more than the ibushi fight, simply because there was no rampage filler to get through, just to get to the fight. The narwa fight was also clearly better designed to better incorporate this massive arena fight with a badass monster alongside seige weaponry, actua intentional wirebug mechanics and both dragonator and nukes.

Yeah. I'm finding making key quests in Rise visable & chooseable and removing alot of the padding quests has effected the game quite a bit. Sure it's what the fanbase wanted but now you can choose the path of least resistance to get to HR 7 with zero challenges in the way and without the padding quest the lack of variety in the quest pool is huge. It's a shame, as it is fixable but you need to go the other way a little, maybe make the key quests not freely chooseable so you're forced to do the harder hunts and just more padding quests! 😁

Greatsword Guide is here, go do BIG DAMAGE.

@@maxspecs 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾thank you.

I listened further and you do somewhat bring this up. as an adendum I do agree that well done tables are better than pure randomness, but these tables need to be aligned with everyone else, whether its rotating tables idk Im not very knowledgeable. Either way have a good day, no bad feels just an initial difference of opinion

im not even a hammer main but water strike is the path to enlightenment. it the most zen bomk to befollowed up by a yolo gold swing. Uber satisfying. i imagine my self as a cross guard yelling stop when i use water strike. then im a MLB player on follow up.

Yuuup

I feel the same way. I almost missed that I had carved two rathain plates in a row because of the lack of animation

Immersive endemic life you can use as pets, stuff to explore on every map like the Grimalkynes, Boa Boa, and Gajalaka. Multiple houses too. Rise's sword model with lore attached on each map doesn't compete.

@@marsh4722 hah you're right. I forgot about the entire gajalaka level up experience. Seeing my palico interact with one, then eventually have a gajalaka knock over a monster and start firing missiles at it was the funniest thing ever.

I mean ibushi could also just be looking for her to help protect her. which makes me wonder why they were seperated in the first place

Long distance coitus? Extended boody call.

Hey me too lol. More coincidence really. Wife wanted to see Narwha.

What do you mean surprisingly???

^AHAHAHHA 😂

Would be fun but there's actually a palico controlling it on top so it''s not running on AI. However, the Palico can go rogue!

Facts

Straight Facts my guy, any day now.

What if its moved to the end of next month

Big agree! I sorta regretted watching every trailer because I expected to have at least a few unannounced monsters to look forward to... But nope, just narwa. My sister and I agreed that we don't want to see a trailer for update 3.0 in case they tease a final boss.

The game isn’t short it just isn’t complete,easy, and there is no endgame. Hopefully all of this will be fixed in the upcoming TU.

@@fistybaby9489 Totally disagree that there is no endgame or incomplete. Yes there are a couple areas (like armor sets) that the game has less to choose from compared to past base games, however there are other areas where it has more than past base games. Like the endgame loop is 100x better and more refined than it was in World. The difficulty is up to you, director Ichinose said himself that the difficulty in Rise would be different and controllable on a personal level, to where literally the same difficulty from the demo magnamalo is still in the game. The difficulty is based off of whether you eat/use spiribird buffs. Think any of the 6* or 7* quests are too easy, or even the final rampages? Try them solo without eating or spiribird buffs. Want the same Magnamalo demo difficulty? Then try the same but also with un upgraded armor, you'll still have every one of your skills but can be 1 shot by some moves, 2-3 shot by most others.

@@lukefinley6660 I feel like having to impose restrictions on myself for a game to have difficulty is bad game design. My favorite fight in WorldBorne is AT Velkhana, the reason is that even with fully upgrades fatalis armor with fully gems out sets and weapons with augs and upgrades she could still one shot you. And it wasn’t that she just hit harder it’s that she was made as a boss to fight after fatty so they gave her cool new moves and made her faster to help her keep up with your super endgame build so that she wouldn’t be a push over. That’s what Rise is missing, 90% of the monsters in Rise just get destroyed by a Hunter with an ok build and not even a ramped up weapon because with the mix of wire bugs and switch skills the hunters are too mobile. The only monster that is truly scaled to match these new mechanics imo is Magnamalo, he has the increased speed and attack patterns to punish bad wirebug usage that a majority of the roster lacks. Plus the reason I say that Rise lacks an endgame is because there isn’t a reason to farm for a god charm to max a build out BECAUSE NOTHING IN THE GAME IS HARD ENOUGH FOR IT, I beat HR magnamalo with LR gear and only carted once. The game is too easy and there isn’t any challenge in it that is worth doing a farm for a god talisman because the reason you do that is to fit as much as you want into a build to make a fight easier, but that isn’t needed if the fights are already easy.

@@fistybaby9489 Theres some points i'd like to make about what you just said. First off, if you dont like the idea of they decided to try something new, with difficulty, then thats totally fine and your own preference. However, how selfish would it be to want the "difficulty" forced on every other player in the world, vet or newcomer, whether they enjoy that or not? Also, you are comparing AT Velkhana, which is one of the final bosses added to a G rank expansion more than a YEAR after its launch, which was launched on top of a base game that also had 2 years of free updates. Conparisons are fine, but you have to compare a BASE game at launch to another base game at launch, so World before any updates (not iceborne), Monster hunter Cross (Not MHGU), Monster hunter 4 (not 4u), etc. Also, for your arguement for needing min maxed builds....There has NEVER been a necessity for a min/max build in any base MH game at launch ever. People min max only for speedrunning (which are scripted runs so difficulty is irrelevant) or just because they feel better about themselves, which is totally fine, but not forced on anyone ever.

@@fistybaby9489 disagree, though point is valid. I find maxing every single thing out to the most optimal sucks alot of the fun out a game, and it doesn't just apply to monster hunter. Give players a way to use the path of least resistance and take the optimal route at any given opportunity and players will make a game unfun to play very very fast for themselves or in the case of multiplayer, everyone else. Sure, it's a playstyle many enjoy but it's not the only one in existence, however it's the one you can't build a proper game around. A good example of how hard it is would be trying to DM a game of D&D at lvl 15, but players have so many broken combos of magic items, feats and spells that even though they're nowhere near lvl 20 there isn't a single monster you can throw at them that would be a challenge that they couldn't instantly steamroll then complain the game is boring because it's easy. Same deal here. Sure you can make the 100% ultimate god teir damage build but all you're doing is locking yourself out of other various ways to play because you've already finished said game and are now bored with nothing to do. It's not something game designers can fix either - they tried stopping players doing that in X Com and players still figured ways around it. Sometimes us players can be our own anti fun enemies. And don't just say make monsters harder, end of argument because it's dumb. They will always make harder monsters and players will always optimise the crap out of a game regardless of it's difficulty.

I mean, you wont be saying that if your in a certain group that cant get the charm you wanted. A lot of people are in that group btw

@@SuperMrDeathlord 100% agree

@@SuperMrDeathlord Im in the gout table, and still the fact remains that this is still a preferable alternative due to having craftable decos. Its unfortunate yeah but its something we'll have to give time and see how things change

Agreed, too much brown nosing.

yep, too much

This is very true. It's also worth noting that this is important for whether you can honestly recommend the game to someone. After the 2.0 patch, for someone who's not obsessed with monster hunter, I'd figure the game is currently maybe worth 2/3 of its list price, so I wouldn't actually recommend it to someone who's not a fanatic if they're not the sort of person who enjoys repeatedly revisiting games over time. A year from now maybe they'll have released enough that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it at full price. That's something the reviews and recommendations should really be doing a better job of taking into account.

I'm more excited for stories than rise updates tbh

I plan on only using Monsters that are new to the game for my first play through.
