Whoever the fuck designed this black dildo needs ALL of their fingernails ripped the fuck out!!! HOW DO YOU MAKE A FIGHT LIKE THIS SO GODDAMN OBNOXIOUS!?!! Combos and attacks that hit faster than anyone can react, speed that allows him to get behind you in an instance for a nonconsensual back alley back stab, Bullshit dragon blight AND BLEED that accompanies some of his moves!!! Roars that can stop you in your tracks and speed that allows him to attack you before you can recover!!! Zipping and fucking zooming around the damn area that prevents you from keeping up?! WHO DESIGNED THIS SHIT?!!? Out of all the fanged wyverns you could have brought back, you decided this spastic fuck was the move?!! Not Lunagaron?! I DEPSISE this fight so much that i literally go back to Xu wu's cutscene to see him get devoured over and over, because your only purpose is to be a steaming pile of shit rotting on the side of the road!!!!

All of the old monsters in MHGU suck complete ass to fight. All of them. The raptors, Rathain, underground monsters, and Rathalos. All of them have the same mechanics that lead to them feely insanely generic and boring to fight, mainly instant attacks and their turning. I know that most instant attacks/charges in this game don't just come out whenever, and usaully happens after the monster turns to you, but thats what makes these fight so goddamn ass.

The entire fight is you constantly staffing around their mechanic ass turns and instant attacks to get your hit in, and it is so. DAMN BORING. All of these fights play out the EXACT same and do nothing but feel cheap and waste all of your time. Rathalos is one of the worst fucking offenders of this. He has a plethora of moves he can do after his turns, including instant charges, making you do guessing as to what he'll do so you can have your opening. Most of hit attacks have bad hit boxes, initiate flight, or both making you have to constantly strafe around him and bait charges or wait for him to come down to the ground. All this fight does is waste your fucking time while being as unfun as possible and I feel this way about all the old monster designs.

Coming from World, I thought it was just me who couldn't get into the turn based feeling of old MH combat. I thought this was the case until I got to the actually fucking good monsters, like Nargacuga, Lagoacrus, Mitsitsune, Seriegios, etc. These monsters still have the turn based feel with heavy emphasis on positioning. And they do this WITHOUT instant charges, mechanical turns, broken hitboxes, and time wasting fights. I actually really enjoyed these fights and I realized it wasn't the old MH combat that I didn't like, its just that the design of the old monsters fucking suck. They aren't fun at ALL and are an extremely lazy way to to create the turn-based combat the monsters are known for. Rathalos sucks ass. The only old monster that comes close is Yian Garunga, he fucking sucks too but at least he doesn't fly for minutes on end.

WHY WOULD YOU JOIN SOS QUESTS IF YOU CANT EVEN DODGE ITS BASIC ATTACKS GO FIGHT IT SOLO AND PRACTICE IT BEFORE YOU RUIN OTHER PEOPLES QUESTS FFS

I’m sick of all these DB users joining and just never healing and spamming attacks and carting 2-3 times causing me to fail it’s literally easier to do this shit solo because I’m not carting

I was so excited to hear that theme in the context of a real battle (I haven't played either game that it appears in) but capcom decided "no, we're going to 🌟wilds-ify🌟the fucking thing. Hope you enjoy that." And now it sounds so much more like some of the other boring fucking battle themes this game has. Yes Rise made some changes too, but Wilds has scrubbed away basically all of its identity aside from the song structure. It's not unique anymore. It doesn't stand out. Was already disappointed by this games music, as well as blue balling me on the rotten vale theme, but this is where I just start getting mad. Is it bad now? No. It's still a fine track, but stop trying to fix what isn't broken. If they pull some shit like this for Lagiacrus it's over. And I can fully imagine them doing that because it "isn't modern enough" yeah okay man.

This isn't my only complaint with Wilds tracks either. Barely any of the songs in this game took up space in my mind for more than 30 minutes. One of the better themes that I've listened to in full, Rey Dau's, hardly even fits the monster its assigned to. They really just sprinkled in the occasional quiet electric guitar and thought that was good enough for their thunder storm railgun dragon. You want a good electrifying theme? Astalos is right there. A 9 year old game did it just fine, what's Wilds' excuse?

Like what the fuck is the point??? The slide is a SITUATIONAL move, Chop is a REGULAR ASS ATTACK YOU USE WHILE SHIELDING. I fuckin think it's called chop anyways and I don't fucking care. The slide is an APPROACH MOVE. YOU USE IT ONCE PER INTERACTION. THATS WHY RISE PUT IT ON Y+B. AND CHOP ON Y BECAUSE GUESS WHAT THE REGULAR ATTACK IS ON THE SINGLE BUTTON. But for some god forsaken reason, wilds decided that the REGULAR ATTACK should be on two buttons WHICH DONT REGISTER THE RIGHT INPUT HALF THE TIME ANYWAYS AND JUST MAKE ME SLIDE WHICH THEN JUST MIGHT MAKE ME GET HIT (which kinda doesn't matter with the low damage monsters do in wilds) BUT STILL

If there's a way to switch these two moves feel free to call me out, but please at least tell me how if you do so.

FUCK FUCK FUCK THIS STUPID PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT ITS SO FUCKING DUMB ITS STUPID FUCKING STUNS THAT YOU CAN NEVER GET OUT OF ITS SUPER HIGH HEALTH THAT MAKES IT COMPLETELY UNFUN ANJA WAS NEVER FUN IT WAS NEVER GOOD THEY ADDED A MORE NOT FUN ELEMENT TO A REALLY BAD BOSS

I'm replaying risebreak on my Xbox and I just want to get to sunbreak. Why do I have to do these idiotic rampages, how much of a moron do you have to be to keep them mandatory even after sunbreak released? Just give me a skip option Crapcom.

Just failed my first mandatory rampage with "final gate destroyed". Ffs I don't want to learn rampage mechanics, even a second wasted on figuring out this idiotic bs is 1 second too much. Probably going to put this game down and never touch it again. I'm not jumping through fire hoops to get to Sunbreak just because Capcom devs have severe brain damage. Fuck base rise, it's even worse than I remembered.

Dear Capcom Devs, Thank you for the release of the Update 1, with that out of the way.

Deep Breathing WHY DID YOU MAKE IT HARD FOR US SQUAD AND LOBBY BUDDIES GET A SIMPLE QUEST FOR ZOH SIA OR MIZUTSUNE!? I thought after the story of Zoh Sia and Mizutsune they could at least be readily available on either event or optional quest so that we could farm the materials. Especially their Orbs and that Annoying Black ass that we need to break Zoh Sia wing arms just to get. Yet, we need to have an RNG INVESTIGATION THAT FILLS FASTER THAN MY COLLEGE DEBT. What's more, the investigations needs to be in a specific period looking at you Zoh Sia just to have a frikcing chance of it appearing! My Squad can't even hunt together on Zoh Sia and have to take chances with RanDumbs. Pls release a quest where we can take the same quest! Investigations are hard to join in other SOS or secure when your buddies live in different time zones!!

I’m sns main and usually relying on movent and positioning a lot. The thing is in mhwilds the monster’s movement is connected and fluid; while recovery after these motions: attack cancel, superman dive, potions, rolling, and etc. although “seems natural”, but it’s like watching a friggin dunce slowly taking a moment to express their toil and groan and whining. Like rolling the hunter groans “ugh!”, dodge cancel “ugh!”, superman dive “ugh!”. i would rather have a chugging potion pose than this stupid bullshit. 🤦🏻‍♂️ It’s like fighting in a mud the whole time what the fuck…

They love LS wayyyy to much man what the fuck is that shit. A switch skill that replaces your default special sheath so you don't need any wirebugs to use it, has a counter that is brain-dead automatic, can maintain the guage after counter, hyperarmor, damage numbers nearly the size of yo mama holy shit. Base LS is already busted with 0 punishment ISS spam and multiple ways to level up your guage. Don't forget that you can just roll away after special sheathing so no commitment whatsoever. After starting sunbreak I was really excited to see what new skills CB and Lance got and turns out they're not even comparable to the fart of the LS.

And as a lance main, it is sad to see they gave LS the harvest moon skill which locks you in a medium sized circle that can enhance your counter attacks instead of Lance, a fucking tank weapon with a dedicated counter skill.

Unrelated but LS also got a skill that gives you hyperarmor in your first draw attack. They gave that to LS, arguably one of the last weapon that needs it.

I DON'T GIVE A FUCKING SHIT, MIZU DOESN'T DO THE ASS BALLS MIXUP MOVES

YOU GUYS ARE EXPECTING A STREET FIGHTER COLLAB WE ALREADY HAVE ONE BECAUSE GORE IS FUCKING CHUN LI

DASH DASH DASH DASH TURN THE CAMERA TURN THE CAMERA TURN THE CAMERA OOP YOU LITERALLY COULD NOT SEE THAT ATTACK COMING BECAUSE I WAS OFFSCREEN, THERE GOES HALF YOUR HEALTH

YOU THOUGHT I WAS FACING AWAY FROM YOU, HAHAHAHAHAHA NOPE PIVOT AND TURN AND SLAM THERE GOES THE OTHER HALF I AM A FUCKING BALLERINA

OOPS, YOU'RE STUCK IN A CORNER, YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD AND YOU WILL HAVE NO IDEA I WAS EVEN ATTACKING YOU.

I actively refuse to do this fight anymore, it is the worst designed Monster Hunter fight in existence. I'll get that Frenzy Crystal+ another way.

Oh, and by the way, Alma actually trash talks you now.

"I have no doubt in your skills, Hunter, but maybe we should prepare a bit more next time."

SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU INTERN BITCH, I WANT TO SEE YOU TRY.

I'm sick of people saying that the newer games are "too accessible" or "too easy". And that preparation mattered more in older games, and praise the difficulty. Older gen was never more difficult because of anything approaching good game design. It was difficult because the controls sucked absolute dog ass and everything up to and including even your basic character movement was clunky and slow as hell.

I mean like MH Dos had you attack with the right analog stick for Christ's sake and move the camera with the d-pad. Which, by the way, the vertical movement of the camera was toggles of pre-set angles. Even with something as recent as 4U the camera can only move in one direction at a time and cannot move diagonally.

All of a sudden in 5th and 6th gen our characters can do things like basic fucking footwork while attacking and people complain that it's too easy Yeah, the guild finally gave us reverse lobotomy procedures so we can finally do our jobs. I can finally slightly alter my attack direction mid-swing because the monster tiptoed into an awkward position that I can, in no way at all, predict. It's not like monsters will tell you before they take a step out of your attack range. It's something you have to react to which you can finally do in the newer gen.

Being able to react to things instead of just passively hoping a monster doesn't do something like hopping left and right or charging forward is more skill based than older gen games ever were. This isn't to say I don't like the older games. I'm personally a fan of DOS and 4U but I'm not gonna sit here and pretend or let other people delude themselves into thinking old gen was a godsend and should be the standard for what monster hunter is supposed to be. There's a reason capcom is making the changes they do.

“Oh your weapon doesn’t have a dodge or block? Too bad.”

I FUCKING DESPISE THE THREE HIT COMBO BEING TWO FUCKING SWEEP ATTACKS IN A ROW

AND OF COURSE LIKE A KID WHO JUST DISCOVERED THAT ONE OP FIGHTING GAME MOVE THAT THEY’LL NOW SPAM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, TEMPERED ARKVELD’S ENTIRE DIFFICULTY RESOLVES USING THE COMBO AS MUCH AS HE POSSIBLY FUCKING CAN

I’D LOVE TO DODGE! REALLY! I WOULD! BUT THERE’S SO MANY FUCKING WALLS AND TREES IN THE WAY I LEGITIMATELY DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE FUCK NO ONE HAS RAGED ABOUT THIS YET

I THOUGHT POSITIONING WAS A CORE PART OF THE SERIES WHY IN THE FUCKETY FUCK HAVE THESE LAST TWO GENERATIONS BEEN SO OBSESSED WITH MAP DESIGN FOCUSED ON REMOVING ANY ROOM TO POSITION?!?!

I CAN’T EVEN FUCKING SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING SOMETIMES BECAUSE THERE’S SO MUCH SHIT EVERYWHERE, SO MANY FUCKING PLANTS, ROOTS, ROCKS AND SHIT THAT KEEPS STOPPING ME FROM SEEING WHATS HAPPENING

After using the GS, i discovered how much of a cuck I was using this weak ass weapon. GS Offsets are so forgiving and easy to access. While in Hammer, you need to "plonk, plonk swing!" to get it, and it's so fucking strict for some reason, the active frames on the offset are so fast. Sometimes on GS, I just press Y+B immediately without charging and it gives me an offset on aggressive monsters. Not to mention the follow up on a perfectly timed offset on GS gives you a follow up, that has an option to go to TCS. While in hammer, yeah you can go to mighty charge, but man, accessing offset is hard enough that you rarely risk doing it and just do your job and bonk the head.

GS also has block and has power clash that again gets followed up with a TCS. It's like it has everything lol. Even Switch Axe's offset is easier to access too, not to mention its counter during sword mode. Capcom I swear to God, those hammer buffs better be something good. Doing the arena rathian makes me want to peel my skin off, I can't hit her when she's flying and running around.

Mods please pin this post so we can separate people that want to rage about Monster Hunter and its community from people that want to rage about monsters killing them!

YOU DUMBASS DB USER HOW DO YOU CART TWICE AND THEN KEEP ON GOING AND THEN DIE WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO CAPTURE AND FAILING THE QUEST IM HOSTING

I WAS ONE TRANQ BOMB AWAY FROM CAPTURING A TRAPPED APEX AND YOU JUST DIED AND QUEST FAILED?????

HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW

It isn’t the hp either. You could give his amount of hp to the apexes and I would be happy because it means they wouldn’t die in only 5 minutes even as tempered 5 stars.

It’s his moveset. He just spams annoying ass AoEs. You’ll dodge the initial part of the attack just to get hit by the following explosion. Or you’ll get hit in the side or back by some bs crystal or massive charged fireball that isn’t even onscreen. If you aren’t actively holding elemental slinger ammo when he uses a nova you just die without anything you can really do about it. This is probably the main reason so many people die to him in SOS flares.

You can say “skill issue” but that kinda isn’t the case. I’ve beaten him 11 times with my fastest being about 13 minutes solo. I know it’s not the best time or probably even very impressive but I have 0 desire to improve it. I got both versions of the beta armor for the drip and I am done. I never want to touch this abysmal, joyless slog of a fight again. Really hope no good equipment in any future updates requires parts from it but they probably will unfortunately.

Seriously the real challenge isnt the monster, its the other players

Keep mighty cleave, keep the charge step, bring back the charge attacks from world. I say bring back power charge as well or bring rise mechanic with the two forms. Honey moon phase is over, new playstyle is not fun.

Hammer has always been about those juicy snipes to the head. This new playstyle is the equivalent of taking true charge slash away from greatsword. To be honest, even though I love mighty charge, I would rather trade mighty charge to have either of the previous 2 iterations of hammer back.

Why give us this offset when you could have taken water strike from rise and gave us that as our counter. Water strike was an absolutely good direction for hammer and idk why it was taken away to be replaced with this offset.

Ive played hammer in GU, World, and rise. Wilds is definitely the worst out of the last few titles. Also the stun values feel like doo doo water now too. I am not trying to be toxic but this aint it chief.

This is less of a rage and more of a vent. I got into Monster Hunter as a kid almost exactly 10 years ago with 4 Ultimate. At the time I never played something so atmospheric on a handheld before. The world felt big, the ecology was amazing, and I liked the monsters and weapons and how you had to use everything at your disposal to win. It felt like everything I was doing mattered. Then I played Generations, and couldn't really get into it. I think this was somewhat normal at the time as a lot of the North American community was probably singleplayer oriented and Generations took away a lot of the appeal of singleplayer, but it bummed me out.

Then I played World. World was something I was excited for but it just didn't feel the same. A lot of the interesting art direction was replaced by boring realism, weapons and armor weren't cool, a lot of the monsters were boring to fight against, and the set pieces sucked. I still enjoyed the game but it left barely any impression on me. I was dumb and didn't realize you don't really beat a Monster Hunter game until you reach the endgame fights, so I never made it to the other elders after HR Nergigante and Zora. I just moved on.

When Rise came out it was like a perfect storm. I was a big fan of the Switch, I had friends who played Monster Hunter, and I had just gotten into more complex action games like DMC in recent years. I loved the more complex combat, the music, the hub, the characters, the new monsters, all of it. It had so much soul. Yes it simplified the series too much in some ways, and yes there were some things that were bad. The game didn't even launch finished. But I loved it. To me it felt like someone made a GU type game just for me.

Then Wilds comes out. It does a lot of things better World, but a lot of things are the worst they've ever been in the series. Low rank is horrible. The game takes Rise's simplification and makes it even worse, because now you don't even have to learn weapons, you can simply abuse focus mode and wounds. It doesn't feel like weapon complexity was upped just to give more options but to actively make abusing the weapons even easier. The new monster roster is much better than World, and there's some interesting lore implications but the characters also feel more like a D-grade MMO than ever before. Hunters are in a weird middle ground where the power fantasy is so much more boring than Rise (press L2 and R1 instead of using the specific switch skill you equipped and learned how to use) that they don't compensate for the games easiness, but the fights are just as easy. You have to have monsters do supernovas or spam aoe attacks just to try and make them interesting because attack patterns aren't it anymore. And this isn't to say Wilds is bad, there's been times I've had fun with the game, but I find myself frustrated and even worse bored just as often.

There's a few things I can think of that explains why I don't like Wilds as much. The charge blade isn't as fun so I've had to use new weapons. The game has a difficulty problem. The areas are less interesting than Rise to me. But nothing to explain why half the time the game just feels meh.

And yet at the same time .... it's really hard to try and get back to classic games with GU, at least in Village. It makes me sad, and I don't know if I've outgrown the classic games, or if GU Village is just boring (I've made it up to 3 star).

I'm used to having a lot of my favorite franchises fade for me overtime. But Monster Hunter is different. There's been times where I've considered this franchise as one of my favorite things ever created, and I still do. I LOVE the game design behind the old games, I love the lore, I love the monsters, I love the music, I love the over the top combat that games like Rise have, I love so many things about the series, but it's really hard to feel good about it when so many entries get blander and blander (especially as someone who is bad about keeping up with expansions), while also introducing a few QoL improvements that are genuinely hard to go back from. I hate the back and forth between it being peak and being just kind of ok. I hope I like the next portable game more than Wilds.

This being a rage sub I hope no one takes this to mean that i think the game is bad or youre stupid for liking it or whatever, but man this game is kinda bumming me out! I am a huge World hater, have been since day 1. My expectations were kind of in the dirt for Wilds, and while theres a lot of stuff I like more than World, I cant help but feel like the football still got pulled out from under me.

I kinda don't care for the reasoning that this game is made for beginners, It is not a fix to think "well its ok that I'm not having fun because this game is made for first timers". It just makes me feel like they dont make these games for me anymore. Which kinda bums me out! This series has meant a lot to me, and I still adore the older ones and Rise to a lesser extent for being something wildly different. But Wilds feels like they have put the game under a belt sander and all thats left is the fights that I largely find underwhelming. I don't care about the monsters dying too fast or not hitting very hard, but the game surrounding that is undeniably simplified within an inch of its life.

What is it that makes me continue to pop open Dos or P3rd and try stuff, that just isn't here? Is it the heavily restrictive skill system? Is it that I get showered with rewards before the fight even ends? Is it the fact that I can make an artian weapon that outclasses everything else with a fraction of the cost? I dunno!! And before anyone says to wait for the expansion, I don't think waiting 18 months and another 50 bucks for an already $70 game to become more than a swift weekend is a good salve! Something that used to hook me with this series is missing, and I'm not sure exactly what it is. They made a game that millions more people are enjoying, which is great for them! They just completely lost me. Just wondering if anyone else feels the same way, or has their own thoughts as series vets!

I guess some actual rage to make it fit the sub, PLEASE PUT SOME OLDER GAMES ON STEAM OR SOMETHING SO I DONT HAVE TO TEACH MY FRIENDS HOW TO USE AN EMULATOR OR CONNECT TO A PRIVATE SERVER, THEY AINT GONNA DO THAT!! I WOULD BE MUCH LESS BUMMED OUT ABOUT THE STATE OF THE SERIES LOL

Listen I don't usually like being this negative but my god I really don't understand how some of these people got this far into the game.

On my last Zoh Shia investigion, opened it up to pubs because why not I was starting to get bored of solo play anyway. First few minutes go by just fine and I'm just vibing.. until Zoh Shia rages for the first time. Not even 2 minutes after these two guys who couldnt take 2 seconds to use a mega potion cart within a few seconds of each other from a fireball because these two ranged boys think they're fucking invincible or something with their discerning dodge that they can't even time right.

I take a look at the mission counter and luckily one of these guys had insurance so we're only sitting at 1 cart. Me and the CB guy keep going and I decide to let them stay for now as I thought maybe they just got unlucky. Normally it's a "whatever" moment as it just happens sometimes and that's that. What genuinely pissed me off was this other guy who dishes out the third cart of the run by pulling one of the most brain dead plays I have ever seen. These two guys that JUST carted HAVENT EVEN fucking returned from camp yet when Zoh starts charging his flame ring attack. I move out of the way and then I'm forced to watch as this charge blade guy who isn't even in axe mode absolutely SPAMMING sword attack while Zoh charges his fire RIGHT ABOVE him before cremating this guy into the third cart.

Zoh Shia didn't even make to the final phase and I've decided for the first time to purge the entire squad. After about 200 hrs into Wilds so far this is deadass the first time I've had to whip out a farcaster just so I didn't receive the same treatment while I was figuring out how to kick these buffoons. Normally I wouldn't be so upset as with so many new players it's kind of expected for there to be a button masher or two but I started this quest in a VET lobby for a reason guys. I at least expect most of you to know what the dodge/block button does.

genuinely newgen palicos are so fucking braindead it isnt funny at all. these little douchebags do NOTHING except for drawing aggro and healing but ONLY WHEN YOU DOWN A MEGA POTION 3 SECONDS EARLIER

ive been playing both wilds and GU lately and the staggering difference i see between how the two games handle palicos is insane. in GU you can have 2 palicos which can have multiple types or classes. you can customize them, give them specific roles etc. THIS IS GENIUS. I WANT THIS CAPCOM.

BUT EVER SINCE MHW. THESE DUMBASS CATS DO NOTHING EXCEPT FOR THEIR STUPID FUCKING VIGORWASP CRAP. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT VIGORWASPS WHEN WE ALREADY HAD THE HEALTH HORN. THERE WAS NO REASON TO GET RID OF OLD PALICOS. THESE THINGS DO NOTHING NOW??

in old monster hunter, i could rely on my cats to deal a decent amount of damage to the monster using bombs or fancy weaponry. in newgen monster hunter, THESE STUPID FUCKASS CATS MISS 90% OF THEIR ATTACKS

in OLD monster hunter, my cats will knock me out of paralysis, stun, sleep etc. IN NEW MONSTER HUNTER, THESE LITTLE ASSHOLES JUST WATCH AS YOU GET ABSOLUTELY BUTTFUCKED BY THE MONSTER BECAUSE THEYRE TOO LAZY TO GET YOU OUT OF PARALYSIS

THESE THINGS EXIST SOLELY TO DRAW AGGRO NOW. IF MONSTERS DIDNT TARGET PALICOS SO OFTEN I WOULDNT EVEN HAVE ONE WITH ME. DO BETTER PALICOS. YOUR ANCESTORS ARE DISAPPOINTED
