So its the dumbing down of world AND the full on weeb nonsense the nintendo MH games went with?

[Darkside99x]

Can we please get a remaster of the freedom games?

Maybe add in the climbing without putting the weapons away thing but no more.

[Greb]

I'm with you on the weeb nonsense, although some of it is just nice feudal Japan type stuff and not outright anime, HOWEVER, when in Rome...

Makes a nice change from all the high quality AAA game garbage, at least.

[Sindex]

Yeah the theme is way over the top. MH 3rd was Japan themed, but it did feel like it's own thing still.

Here it feels like a Naruto parody. As far as dumbing down the game is way easier, I don't even use the wire bug because it's clunky as hell but the monsters still go down like flies.

Compare this to world where Low Rank was still somewhat of a challenge at the start.

lol * weeb nonsense* what utter disrespect to ones culture.

[SteelaiRizel]

Well considering Rise is not a mainline MH game, its along the same lines as Generations, its their team. If you think of the styles and then think of the wirebug moves it all make sense.

Just wait for the next mainline MH. I replied on a topic and they deleted their thread quick when they tried to say this was a mainline game and World wasn't. A rallying point doesn't work well when 5 seconds of google proves them wrong lol

....says a guy with a Gintama avatar.

Look, Japan is cool, but this is on a level of using a gun instead of toilet brush when trying to portray America. Funny the first time but gets a bit old after years and years of the same trope being repeated again ad again.

That was the initial intention of world too.

Given the popularity I suspect this is going to be the norm.

I'm currently forcing myself through generations, didnt manage it at release despite so many of the old maps and monsters returning, the game progression was terrible in it, every weapon at a tier uses exactly the same materials and requires stupid amounts of grinding, even in excess of the usual MH levels.

Monster hunter has ALWAYS had anime (im old enough to still use Japanimation) influence but this pretty much turns it into a parody of the culture.

The original game was set in Kokoto Village which was had similar feudal japanese styling's but meshed to the monster hunter lore and as already said 3/3p's Yukumo village went for a much more anime theme but still managed to make it fit.

Here its just too much.

Wyverian versions of the infant Island twins right out the door ffs.

Some quick searching proves that MH World was always going to be MH5 , 'World' was chosen as a name to show its return to consoles and to grab the new audience. It is officially MH5 by all definition including their own.

Rise will continue to do well with Sunbreak on it's way and we will eventually get our next main title which will be 'MH6' but who knows what name they will go with.

But it's two different teams for a reason. The main thing though is they will still take ideas from each other so....not sure how the next one will be.

[Maulclaw]

Each MH game has always focused on different themes, even with the expansions. Sunbreak is gonna follow a gothic medieval-style theme. CAPCOM was only able to explore feudal Japan two times (excluding Generations), and one of said tries was exclusively on the PSP/PS3 and for Japanese customers only. People wanted this, and we got it. If you don't like it, go back to the other titles?

The game was heavily marketed like this. You didn't like it and got it anyway... even with a free public demo out there and then have the audacity to complain. Lmao, get real.

So I keep hearing these days but I literally watched videos from the early days of development in japanese that said different.


And wasn't able to find them again when this topic came up last time.

Here's hoping we get some base crafting for 6 then lol.

World WAS the dumbing down this is just the continuation. Monster hunter is dead and turning into some sort of open world hack and slash game with no boss fights. Wouldn't be surprised if in a few games they remove bosses and turn it into some generic open world action rpg.

The dumbing down began with X and is now complete everyone of us old fans has seen our beloved game series murdered by capcom and this skin puppet version put on parade. If you haven't played and beaten a monster hunter pre-X your not a real monster hunter fan and don't understand the series.

You people need help.

Then they will use the " it sold poorly so no more" excuse.

The initial setting for Monster Hunter was a post apocalyptic world where civilisation was knocked back to the stone age and struggled to survive.

None of that shows in the recent games and they are shallower for it.

[thefunkestuppest]

point of correction, Capcom themselves stated Rise was a main story game. I have no idea where this person is getting the idea its somehow not other than to make themselves feel better somehow.

I did as you said and googled it and this was literally the first response
"It is the sixth mainline installment in the Monster Hunter series and was released worldwide on March 26, 2021."

-Shrug-

One way or another we get Monster Hunter games coming from two teams , so i mean win win.

Even if i am wrong or you are wrong, it remains that World is indeed the fifth installment and there is two different teams. So like i said, win win. We get both.

A good time to be a MH fan for sure. It was downright painful before lol Been playing since 2004 on the ps2, man life was a struggle for MH fans over the years.
