The "plot"

My expectations were low but...

After MhW, the less "story" they put in there the better

[lolschrauber]

Honestly better than having 2823 expeditions just to discover a monster that every one of your friends has to do before you can hunt said monster together.

It was a good, fleshed out tutorial wasn't it? I wish more games had extensive tutorials instead of simply allowing players to set the game to "easy / casual mode" instead.

Like I'd rather fight through 40+ quests to get a taste of the game and fully open it up for playing, than open some thinly disguised cheats menu and turn monster aggression to 0, monster detection to 0, and monster damage to 10% etc. "Accessibility / Journalism" mode.

Games without difficulty settings: solid gold.

Imagine buying a MH game for the story

exactly my thoughts. like MHW story had even more quality than this, to start with.

On the contrary if the next mainline game is like this I am not buying it.

I would even recommend you 50 shades of gray if you think "zora magdaros is attacking" was a good storyline.

Ha ha, very funny.
I am sorry I don't find just smacking re skinned monsters that take 5 minutes to down without any lead up to be very fun.

The game is piss easy and has no story, it's fun to just button mash for an hour per day but I can't see myself buying the next one if the difficulty stays nonexistant and the story is not improved.

Previous MH games did not need the story because they relied on gameplay, you had to prep for each hunt, select the correct equipment, get the necessary potions (remember hot/cold environments? paintballs?).

MH4 had a way better story than Rise and was way more challenging (there were multiple cool villages to visit), then World had a decent story and less challenge, and now Rise has 0 story and 0 challenge, I mean the monsters are literally on Google Maps.

I am sorry for wanting at least something to be invested in while I am playing.

There it is. The MH "vet" is just upset the games don't rely on clunky controls and unexplained mechanics for their "real" difficulty. Also, if you've played since MH4 should you also be complaining that that game had "re skinned" monsters? Or do you only complain about old monsters coming back if it fits what you're whining about?

your whole argument is moronic, because you base it around "story".. in a mh game. Wether this one or world or any one past.. The story was always trash. In world they tried to tell one and it was also trash.

I can not really take any of your gripes seriously cause you mention "story" so often. Just stop. Atleast bring a decent argument to the table so i do not have to stop reading 2 paragraphs in.

Its like hating a super mario game cause the story is not good... no ♥♥♥♥ sherlock.. who plays a super mario game for the story?

Atleast be authentic.

I just checked Google Maps and there are literally no monsters from Monster Hunter on there.

I didn't play this for the story that is why I said "I went in with low expectations". Yet we have this whole cutscene thing that sets up the "big boss" only for the whole thing to fall flat.

3 cheers for the hero. Here's an odachi for you. Honestly the Barroth was harder :/

Play hub quests for normal difficulty. Village quests are scaled down.

What's moronic is that you seem to have the reading comprehension of a baggi.

All I am saying is that if you can't make the gameplay memorable, at least have something else catchy.

As it stands the game is very easy and the story is not good in a sense that the game would have been better off without it like in GU where you just had an absurd amount of content and no terrible cut scenes.

Hopefully Sunbreak will have monsters that I can't just wirebug away from and nuke them with my eyes closed.

Monster Hunter Rise cuts out the unnecessary fat. Let's be honest here, does paintballing a monster honestly add anything to the game? Does the paintball wearing off and having to look through multiple loading zones add anything to the game? Also GU is the expanded version of Generations on the DS if you didn't know. Not exactly fair to compare to base Rise. GU was easy as well thanks to Valor.
