Monster hunter baby hand holding simulator

[u/Fearless-Sea996]

No more gathering quests.

No more preparation.

No more build thinking with armor combo, just slap whatever damage skill you can, monsters will melt anyway.

No more palico building, skill selection etc... everything in one invincible cat lets go.

No more shroom quest, egg delivery, farm to maintain.

No more optionnal quests.

No more arena quests.

No more 3+ hard monsters quests in one go.

No more exploration and secret location to find.

Remember when you needed to farm thoose kelbi horns to be able to make best potion in the games, theese were precious. And you needed to stun kelbi for that, not kill them.

Rotating event quests to force you to "play" every week like a trash ass shit game as a service f2p.

No more weapon personnalization, building, custom setup etc... all weapon are gutted down and you are left with no choice for your gameplay. Dodge lance ? Fuck you and block. HBG canon mod ? Nah, shield for everyone. SnS oils and ressource management ? Nah just spam.

What is left ? Ho yeah, take quest, jump on seikret, scroll on tiktok waiting to get to the monster, then spam triangle for 5 min and gg wp ez win. Get 150 monster material and 75 jewels, then do it again for the next monster.

And shitty ass Disney train ride story.

But casuals are happy, they feel like they are good and they are happy because there is no "bullshit" seconday thing to do. Its called monster hunter after all, you click on quest, you take your uber, and you spam to kill monster (easy ass monster as well, you dont want to make baby casual to cry if he fail his quest).

And gutted down content released little by little because the game is not finished at release.

Gathering quests are annoying and stupid. Replaying GU from the beginning is a slog because of all the boring shit you have to do.

You kinda sound like you don't like monster hunter games. 

[u/potato01291200 → u/100_Weasels]

What if I like hunting monsters, but don't enjoy gathering random plants for hours on end?

[u/Combat_Orca → u/potato01291200]

Part of the hunting though isn’t it? And you don’t have to just gather for hours straight, it’s something to break up hunts- I always found it quite nice and relaxing

[u/Front-Cabinet5521 → u/Combat_Orca]

Amen. I had to farm 25x Gracium in Wilds to make the artisan layered set, actually made me explore the ice cliffs map and learn the layout better. Really wish there were more gathering quests in this game.

[u/100_Weasels → u/potato01291200]

Sure, but you've asked MH to be different. Its no different to people who DO like those things 

It's like, say we both like steak, but let's say you like sauce on your steak and I don't.  You're getting confused and asking it to change. Thats ok, but it shouldnt mean I have to like it your way, vice versa.

 It's odd to me this is such a confusing idea. 

[u/potato01291200 → u/100_Weasels]

It's not confusing at all, but you said people simply don't like monster hunter if they don't like gathering quests. I wanted to make it clear how stupid that argument was

[u/100_Weasels → u/potato01291200]

I mean up until recently it was a huge part of the game. 

It isn't anymore, but saying the old games were bad because of it seems to be an equal but opposite argument.  Perhaps I should have said "old monster hunter", but this wasn't meant to be a personal attack.... 

The MH community seems to be in a wierd place of an us vs them, you either adore the amazing 10/10 game or you hate the terrible awful trash game. I'm simply saying it's changed, some people like it some don't, but a load of people are in this place of limbo, where they have criticisms, but think it's fine. Seems to cause everyone to be mad.

No disrespect here chief, just made a statement, which I'll be honest this will be the first game where half the old mechanics are now considered "tedious" and if someone disliked gathering and preparation before, I genuinely would have assumed MH isn't for them. 

Sorry I guess?

What is this, monster hunter: herb gathering simulator?

[u/100_Weasels → u/TheFrogOfTheSouth]

It's crazy to me that people literally act like all this isn't pretty par for the course in monster hunter games. Even in wilds, like did we play different games? Gathering ideas literally a core component and apparently all the new fans hate it? 

Like, imagine if i went to a racing game and was like: "Why all the cars? I thought this was a racing game, why do I need to shift gears"? 

This isn't meant to be a personal attack on anyone, just something i find odd.

[u/TheFrogOfTheSouth → u/100_Weasels]

False equivalency just come on now get real, don't be blinded by nostalgia and think people like wasting time gathering mushrooms or eggs. Using that shifting gear analogy is dumb 1. Because no car games unless you're using a car simulator has shifting gears, in most car games it's auto shifting depending on the car because of the game mechanics. So come up with another similarity.

One thing to note is Believe it or not, not all vets from the old games want boring things from the old games to come back, but of course that would require leaving this subreddit to others and conversing with people who've played all the games, to get a better understanding in a broad sense instead of trying to install one because of what YOU prefer over masses, and also don't try to pull that new fans hate it because most new fans go back to play older titles.

[u/100_Weasels → u/TheFrogOfTheSouth]

Alright, again can't stress enough nothing I've said is meant to be an insult. 

I don't hate wilds. I like it. I like gathering, I like the peaceful breaks and collecting mats to make and craft items and prepare in hunts. But hey, I'm really not here to argue some wierd moral standpoint, just seems wierd when wilds has gathering that we act like it's this horrid crazy idea to gather in.... an action adventure game .... like you do in most of them.....

Either way, don't really wanna have an argument nor trade assumptions and accusations or insults. 

Happy hunting hunter. 

[u/TheFrogOfTheSouth → u/100_Weasels]

I apologize if whatever I said came out as aggressive or thinking what you said as insult, although I'd have to agree about it being peaceful when gathering just make the gathering worth it in a way that's beneficial to hunting the next monsters, again I apologize if I came off as aggressive or insulting.

[u/100_Weasels → u/TheFrogOfTheSouth]

I'm not really interested, thank you for the apology, but I'm so tired of the Vets vs newbies, 10/10 perfect game vs wilds killed my family dichotomy that lives rent free in the community at the moment. Its possible to have both criticisms and love for a series. And this 0-100 response is pretty toxic. 

I simply said gathering is a big part of the game, you assumed I'm literally coming for newbies and hate wilds and think the new games are all bad and old good grrrrrrrr..... I'm so tired of this kinda rhetoric. 

Either way as I said, you have a great day, 

Happy hunting hunter. I'll see you in the new and old games.
