if only all monsters were as fun as Goss Harag

[Stompnado]

fun and challenging without being annoying...that's how all fights should be, not to mention he's actually scary, of all the monster intro clips i find his the scariest one

but Almudron is the complete opposite, half the time i don't know whats going on, i have no clue when he's targeting me or when he's targeting my pets, when is my turn and where i should stand... weird dumb and confusing...the most annoying combination of a monster fight

It sounds like you just started with the game. When you are more experienced with Almudron you might think differently of them. It is from my point of view at least not as bad as you make it sound. They are just different.

almu is very weird because it’s dangerous to go for his face unless he’s submerged and hard to track where his tail is going, but it gets easier if you memorize where his tail goes after each attack and line up an attack preemptively. Stand where it’s going to be. I do agree that he’s unusual; strange moves that look more threatening than they are mixed with the occasional huge sweep that makes you think twice about being too aggressive. Not an easy monster to learn and not a super exciting one to fight

one of the coolest fights visually and all of his armor and weapons are gorgeous though

It is just a funny looking bear with an archiles heel that is his ice blade which is easy to break and instantly trip him .

[Luxinae]

I really regret that his weapons and armors aren't as good as he is. He is for sure a dreadful monster that i love to fight, especially in the beginning of the game where you don't have many stuffs and he can OS with some attacks.

these monsters with exaggerated movement i find the most annoying, all the twisting and turning and flipping and spinning and all this ♥♥♥♥...Mizutsune, Almudron, Kadachi..these "i'm gonna do a flip and a spin and a twist for no reason before i attack"

-eye roll

i think the reason i enjoy Goss Harag the most is cause he resembles a Dark Souls/ Sekiro type of boss ...like he stands on two legs and swings at you like some kind of cave troll rather than your typical monster hunter creature

for me Chameleos is the most fun Fight ever, goss harag is just annoying so it depends on the person not the regular style.

Different weapons can also impact a lot what monsters you are going to like or not

[Stompnado]

also Magnamalo is not among my favorites, he like the Nergigante of rise with DBZ attacks,

just like Nergigante he's too fast and twitchy for how big he is and the way he attacks is often confusing like i will get hit when i think i'm safe or when he's not even targeting me but the hitbox hits me anyway and i'm like "wow whatever" eye roll

ughh nope

Never ever do that xD

if you choose a Weapon because of its "looks" you never gonna Win vs Valstrax xD
The Game is all about getting the needed stuff together for every encounter later to have the best performance in combat against every enemy, trust me, i know what iam talking about, if you just choose weapons or armor because they look cool...then sorry wrong game for you^^

I do not think that is what they meant by that. You might want to reread.

Where did they say "how a weapon looks"?

I like to underline this. I have had seen my fair share of hunters which claim "a hunt is hard" or "they hate that one" just to find out they never ever tried something else than dual blades. That was disheartening.

[Stompnado]

and speaking of annoying monsters wtf have they done to Rathian or Rathalos ( i can never remember which is which)... they gave it freaking Fatalis attacks now like the downward linear fire blast attack which it never had in iceborne , and i got hit by a fire ball as i was running and i'm like "wtf this crap has tracking now?" he's like lvl 3 tempered silver/golden level of annoying now tf

What you overlook is while some monsters make your weapon selection look questionable, there are some that just shut down your ability to even fight them. And does one reasonably expect to swap weapons for a hunt when they've spent the time they've used on one just for a certain monster or event?

Alatreon had that effect on gunners in world, since it demanded elemental. In Rise, some monsters handle differently with certain weapons

Imposing "just git gud" and use something different dosent change the fact to that user, X monster is annoying because the reason goes from "its hard' to "I had to use a different weapon or ask for help"

Dual blades? Did you misspell LongSword by any chance?

Thought LS was the easiest weapon? Or is it not like what many people claim it to be?

By the time you're at the end, like you and many who claim to be bored Rise, and like I for World, you change up weapons.

Getting used to a weapon and adapting to the monster is the only way to go.

What monsters in Rise requires you to "change things up" when, according to many, "this is the easiest MH game there ever was"?

There a lot of contradictions here
