Itās not an EA/Activision game. Itās a passion and love from the devs. There is also nothing else like it. You can play Warframe instead of Destiny and probably played the shit out of Destiny 1. There is no substitute for MH other than more MH.
More often than THAT. 99% of my attempts to rescue people from their own hubris by joining SOS quests end in failure. I donāt know wtf these guys are thinking when I show up. They go from scared and making dumb mistakes, to boldā¦and making WORSE mistakes. Suuuure, go right ahead and sharpen while Odogaron is about to do his flying slash. Whatās the worse that could- Quest Failed ā¦that was SARCASM!!
Iāve had a bad habit of sharpening like right in a monsters face when theyāre panting or if theyāve done some long windup attack on my palico. Iāve had this habit since OG monster hunter. I never fixed it and I never will. Itās like an art form that Iāve mastered.
Iām not even half kidding. I usually always finish sharpening the fucking thing and dodging RIGHT on time to avoid stuff.
Fuck, thereās a lot to take in playing this game. Iām having a blast with it so far and Iām only level 3 hunter. Barely scratching the surface. I love how it has so much depth in the raw gameplay, the options with weapons, and also the upgrade system and collections and all that. This is my first MH, and so far Iām glad I made the plunge. I think Iāll be busy for a long time.
Congrats and welcome to the life changing experience that is MH.
The community does have a lot of dumb elitism that makes it seem like the game is quantum physics; it is not. Itās overwhelming at first but it becomes 2nd nature fast. Kind of like fighting games, ironically.
Whetfish scales sharpen in like half the time or less than the whetstone. I like fishing so I have a bunch, and Iāve replaced the whetstone radial shortcut with Whetfish scales to fast sharpen safely in battle.
One thing I really like about it is that the combat system uses button combos in conjunction with typical RPG elements. Being a Capcom game, it makes sense. And itās awesome.
Someone link me that discord. Stuck at Hr 13. Either Iām helping friends or Iām playing with twitch streamers for follows. Knocking motherfuckers out mid song with Hunting Horn is too fun.
Lolā¦Iām still at level 6 quests after beating the first zorah magdaros storyline bit because my OCD wonāt let me see all these weapons I can craft. I just made the 2nd diablos glaive and even though its affinity is -30 its got like a raw 620 damage and it absolutely rapes HR anjanath.
Diablos armor and all diablos weapons look good. Always. Always have, always will.
PS+ ran out for me
I think Iāll finish this game solo and then jump in to multi in a month or two to really grind the shit out of endgame with people.
Also I was watching a friend hunt vaal hazak and FUCK this is now my favorite all time MH theme. Heckinā thick!
Biggest complaint I have about the game is that matchmaking is really janky when it comes to trying to play with specific people/friends. It seems very random that you canāt join someoneās session or someone canāt join yours. There doesnāt seem to be any explanation on why this is. Either joining works or it doesnāt. Squad Search is fucked too. Iāve had times where it just throws me into a random room because I couldnāt join my Squadās session. Hopefully Capcom at least acknowledges the problem and is looking to finding a fix, because good lord it is quite frustrating.
In other news, my first Bageljuice hunt nets me a Bagel gem. Next hunt, I carve one and then get another one in quest rewards. Nice. Too bad I have no use for these gems at the moment. ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
