Is Rise just... Bad?

[chancan]

I've really tried to enjoy this game like I've enjoyed every other Monster Hunter game, but I just can't.

I started playing Monster Hunter with World, and gone back to emulate some classic games (4U, GU), even played a little bit of Frontier. I liked all of those games despite everyone always says how baaaad and clunky the old games are, so fure sure it can't just be that issue on my part

But I tried to get into Rise multiple times and I just can't. Every single time, I don't know what it is, I just get so bored. It feels like I'm playing a gacha game with how easy it is, like it's designed to never have me fail, and merely give me the illusion that I'm playing well so I keep playing.

Well, congrats Capcom. You have successfully earned yourself a refund on such a stupid design decision. If I wanted to "experience" a game instead of "playing" it, I would just go watch movies or something.

You mean the beginning tutorial levels of a game is easy after you beat 3 other games in the same series? How dare they!

Nope the entire game is apparently way too easy. Got to high rank and couldn't keep going with how boring of a slog the game is, no difficulty at all. Uninstalled after killed a High Rank Nargacuga

as opposed to world, where HR is the pinnacle of difficulty and iceborne does not exist..? i'm replaying the game right now, let's not kid ourselves; HR has not been "difficult" for a while (thus the conception of an entire additional rank system)

additionally, you were probably doing village quests which are purposefully easier. i'd suggest running gathering hub hunts to play the actual game, but it seems you've been filtered lol

World has plenty of clearcut difficulty spikes even throughout LR and HR. Rise is just... Mash wirebug button ad infinitum and monster can't even fight back, just wriggles on the ground all hunt.

Idk how you can even compare these two unless you're trolling. Village doesn't even have High Rank so you probably are trolling, never played either of these games and are jester farming right?

i'm sorry but if you've encountered "plenty of clearcut difficulty spikes even throughout LR and HR" you might have just been terrible at the game. world is an easy slog all the way through to master rank as long as you're pseudo competent with your weapon(s) of choice.

rise is much the same in that you can very easily plow through everything up to master rank with just adequate knowledge of your weaponry. you wimped out before one of the more commonly agreed on "difficulty spikes" in rise, that being HR7 magnamalo.

Yeah I'm sure it's gonna be epic to, instead of spamming OP wirebug moves 100% of the time, I have to spam them 99% of the time and dodge a handful of moves before it dies. So hard and totally worth it.

fwiw, "play through 99% of the game then it finally gets good" is the exact way i feel about world too lmao it's such a slog. just let me skip directly to iceborne where the game ACTUALLY gets good

switch skills, scrolls/loadouts and wirebugs bring an immense amount of depth to the game that world lacks in many regards esp when it comes to buildcrafting.

MH World still showing the damage it dealt.

Depth? I've seen endgame sunbreak gameplay and it's the exact same... Just spam spam spam one wirebug move. There's no complexity to Rise at all it's a cheap dopamine simulator.

aerial IG has never been healthier, dual blades feel extremely agile as they should, and gunlance has one of the most fun mobility options in the game (just the few weapons i'm certified to talk about due to having played them very extensively across the series)

but yes, the game with extra hotswappable movesets has no complexity. it's 4pm, go boot up world, your animation lock slop awaits LOL

This actually seems to be an skill issue. I'm a pretty bad player, not gonna lie, and not even I spam wirebug moves. And good players, are just a pleasure to see how they play, it's like seeing a dance with the monsters.

I like both World and Rise, but I have much more fun in Rise, you have more tools to use.

That being said, she endgame is a slog. But World also was a slog. Hopefully they will improve it in Wilds.
