I'm looking forward to diving into the Monster Hunter craziness. It's a game series that's always interested me but I've never played properly. The demo had me sold, even though I'm a total novice and no doubt a terrible, terrible player :)

It's okay, you'll learn as you go and other GAFFERS will carry you.

I want it but don't think I'll day one it. I wish we got a new weapon from the PC games.

I've never preordered from Best Buy before but I did with the MHR Rise Limited Edition Switch Console. Does anyone know if Best Buy ships preorders on launch day or ship couple of days before so you receive it on launch day?

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Day 14? wtf don't do this me please.

I can't wait, really enjoyed my time with World and GU and I'm sure I'll be putting a ton of hours into this one too.

Haven't played the last demo, but glad to read that Magnamalo is as hard as it looks. :goog_relieved:

How is the demo? i am going to pick this up regardless as its handheld monster hunter. I just dont have time for demo (picked up braverly default 2, mario 3d world, battle brothers , kingdom of amaluar on switch this month)

I really didn't dig world too much though.

My favorite monster hunter game was Freedom Unite on psp. I loved playing on that system (and vita). Really wish we would of had mh3 on vita as well as 3ds.

I also liked mh3u on 3ds. Didn't get to far in mh4.

Is this in the same style of the older games or is this more like world?

I never picked up generations as I heard they cut all the story bits and town sections out. I know a lot of people don't like those busy work training missions and stuff, but i liked them for the downtime. Go collect stuff and learn the layouts, do simple missing between big monster hunts.

Man it's still jarring going down in visuals for a sequel. It looks fine for a Switch game, but it still bugs me that it's a downgrade in every way from World visually.

Also, I don't like that they changed Zinogre's design again. I liked the MHW design.

Anyways, fucking hyped and all that, already scheduled off of work on the 26th.

Always got mine on launch day with maybe one Covid exception awhile back.

Well from tech perspective World has better graphics but I personally much more fan of Rise's visual design especially when it comes to weapon & armour design and in fact I like the overall aesthetics of Rise more than World.

I would say it has lot quality of life changes from world, but thanks to wirebug and how much mobility you have it makes it very different than World.

Obvious technical issues aside, I think the art direction of Rise is really strong. Love some of the character designs, the village elder/chief is a standout for me on the human side
The world has a lovely, rich sort of rural, pre Edo-era Japan via the world of Robert E.Howards Conan look. Great stuff.

Pre ordered from Amazon yesterday after being impressed by the demo, damned hard though, even coming from the well over 100 hour play through of World I've done

This and Outriders are gonna scratch my grinding itches until the next Destiny season and beyond I think

It's like Soulsborne a bit with the way weapons handle and each big monster is similar to a boss when fighting them.

Decided to give the switch axe a go and i love it, might main it, though i have no idea what the bar beside weapon sharpness is for.

I realize I had an easier time killing the ratholos than I did that stupid fucking water serpent thing, it's hitboxes are busted and I had to cheese it with a shield, that boss isn't difficult it's a test of patience. Also the switch axe is pretty cool.

That fucking Mizutsune though. I don't remember it being that hard in GU. My guess is the default gear is crap because it can easily two-shot while my own attacks tickle it. It also seems way too mobile, but that's the World syndrome I guess. Everything will probably be turned to 11 as far as speed goes.

I went back and folded him with the axe, I just had to adjust to his BS hitboxes because same as you I don't remember him being like that.

Honestly Mizutsune is nothing compare to Magnamalo, not only he hits super hard but you also have very limited time to beat him.

I'll be using Hammer as my main just like in World. I didn't tried SnS or Lance in the demo, but they will probably be my alternatives again too.

I'm going to get a Switch lite for this game. Which is the fastest to get into this game on the launch day? pre-order online and hoping it will be sent on time or E-Shop?

Pre-ordered eshop games can be pre-loaded before launch, I believe. At least that's how it works with Nintendo first party stuff.

I'm not even going to attempt that seeing the time limit. I'll savor the fight in the full release without stupid 15 minute timers.

I too have this locked in for day 1, will be a great weekend hopefully. I also dig the art direction Rise is going for, and then Stories 2 later this year. My one and only gripe since I first laid eyes on 'em, the wyverians. Why can't I play one? Any rpg I play something other than a hume-y, generally an elf. Or centaur. But seriously I could at least put elf ears on my character in Dragon's Dogma, but not this? I demand four digits. They are so beautiful and cool. Especially the twins in Rise. Still though really looking forward to the new game.
