Why is this game so boring???

[𝕭𝖊𝖑𝖒𝖔𝖓𝖙]

I feel like i was scammed by capcom, bought sunbreak deluxe to receive almost nothing at all, the combat system sucks, everything feels like it's a dead MMORPG. What am I doing wrong? should I continue playing? will the game get better?

[GNX]

sunbreak content is for master rank did you already complete base rise?
and many combat option and many system is lock behind story progress

Bait used to be believable.

You played 2 hours of this game and left a negative review (which is also obviously bait, "no soundtrack at all for battles, you need to pay for it" lmao), you experienced next to nothing it gives you and came to the forums to say it's a scam? I swear you guys are desperate for steam points.

I didn't complete the game. Game's not engaging enough, plus the combat system sucks. So far the best thing is the village soundtrack. I'll continue to play from time to time, perhaps online this time, but honestly, game's pretty boring. God Eater Resurrection is way better, with lots of character development, a more engaging story plus the combat which is nice for an old game.

What about the combat sucks? Plays like a MH game just with some extra bits to it.

I should've have purchased the Monster Hunter Deluxe, or only base game standard version, Sunbreak Deluxe changes nothing at all. So far, exploring the maps is okay, but kinda feels like it's world of war craft....): too much exploration and less dinamic combat fight. The layout for itens, action bar stuff is annoying, I think I'm gonna change a few things to look more intuitive.

I think 2 hours is enough, considering it's the time that Steam gives to you to refund any game on this platform.

Dude the Game doesn't even really start till you hit Rank 3 Village quests

I already did 3 quests with 3 stars there.

On the off chance you're actually being genuine and frustrated with a purchase I'll give you my 2 cents.

You're approaching MH in general wrong (Since I saw you also reviewed World with low playtime), combat is not like the usual action games, it's much more reactive than proactive as the monster is the one that dictates the fight 90% of the time, experience with all 14 weapons to see which ones you actually enjoy, there's a training area after the buddy plaza you can test them out.

I'm gonna be honest no one actually cares about MH story, it's generally really simple and the ecology is the fun part of it.

Sunbreak is the expansion, it comes AFTER the base game.

It's definitely not enough for a MH title, If you had a bad first impression that's fine it happens but 2h is genuinely not even scratching the surface of it and I do think you should keep at it to find your comfort zone.

Well, I'll continue playing to see how it goes, but something tells me that I already reached the core of the game with just a few more minor changes to see in the future. Puting the Story aside, I'll give another chance for the gameplay, need also to test more weapons as you said, so far I did only use the Bow and long Sword. A friend of mine said to go back to World, saying the game gets better with progression than how it happens in Rise.

(I'm from ES but currently living in RJ) Damn summer.

Well the core of the game is go in, hunt the monster to craft gear, repeat but it's obviously reductive to say it like that since a lot of other factors come into play in how you enjoy said core like area, monster, weapon, armor, buddies and etc. There's a lot more monsters that fight differently from each other so there's still a lot to explore in a gameplay sense

I kinda disagree with going back to World if you're already not feeling Rise, it has a lot more tedious stuff that gets in the way of the actual fun part of the game imo so it might leave you a bit bored if you're not really patient for it

[𝕭𝖊𝖑𝖒𝖔𝖓𝖙]

Hopefully I'll see more new scenarios to play and new monsters, perhaps an early disappointment of mine won't be my last judgement of the game. I'm free to coop with, if you want.

There's an incredibly strong possibility you haven't actually reached the depth of gameplay with the longsword. I see you're a fan of God Eater, MH is a bit slower than GE but the weapons are more involved. LS is a counter-based weapon in Rise, and you typically will hit the monster with your standard attacks and avoid damage by using fade slashes, foresight slash, Iai Spirit Slash (RT + B, RT right as an attack is about to hit you). That'll build your LS's gauge from white to yellow to red, and you can then spend red gauge to perform the Soaring Kick into a Spirit Helm Breaker (LT + Y, after the kick hits, RT). That'll consume a wirebug and 1 level of your spirit gauge (so if it was red, it'll go to yellow). You can also build spirit gauge using the spirit blade (RT) combo with the last hit leveling it up, but your gameplay loop initially will be to loop raising your gauge and then spending in Soaring Kick > Helmbreaker, which will require you knowing when it's safe to hit the monster.

I have a feeling you're very experienced with action games, which will be to your benefit when you actually try to learn the weapons, but I have a very strong feeling that you didn't experience the core of LS gameplay in just 2 hours.

Bow simply isn't a ranged weapon in low rank. It's my favorite weapon in the game, but it's quite possibly the worst weapon in the game in LR because it's so reliant upon armor skills to be worthwhile, so if you want to try it, I'd recommend waiting until high rank or even master rank (Sunbreak).

If you need help clearing LR/HR, I can always make a low rank set and help you with hub quests.

Thank You for the tips and info. As I said I intend to continue to play for the gameplay changes that will come. I really didn't know anything about the combos with long sword, I'll be sure to take note on that to improve my gameplay. I see people saying to use Long Sword for the start, is that good?
