Capcom and their streamlining efforts

[Corona Scurrae]

What used to be a cup of coffee crafted by an artisan is now the Mcdonald's cup of cocoa. I can't deny that this strategy will end up being prolific in wilds considering how well world and rise did but I thought they would add a bit more complexity to the series instead of shaving off the meat most of us enjoyed and replacing it with a plot that is going to be generic and monsters that are absolutely incapable of dealing with the hunter.

TL;DR the reviews are out and if you have half of a working brain and manage to read between the lines then you'll notice that this is the most streamlined mh game in the series

We have come a long way, the new remote pickup for items is very much good

i remember it, but i dont count that as part of making gear, unless we're really talking about iron armor or something.

low level rathi armor just needed like, 4 earth crycles and then everything else was a common ore drop, if you did it as you went you could easily make any piece of the armor and move on to the next monster, which was my point about how the endless grinding was self-appointed, not a mandatory thing to progress the game.

Well even if you dont count it as part of making gear,t hats the part thats been heavily improved upon, thats what i was talking about.

also resource management on expeditions finally allows you to restock at camps you establish allowing you to have a nice long expedition where you hunt monster after monster and can eat in between

What.....

Did you finish the game? Because what you are describing, only affects the early game. Later you need rare drops, gems, etc. Those had to be grinded, THATS Monster Hunter.

EDIT: Oh resource gathering as in iron etc? Kinda true, but it was still a mix of everything. Endless grind was, in alot of cases, mandatory.

Unless im issing something here. MH grind is good, i like it.

lol, i think we were simply focusing on different points for that topic,. but yeah i understand what you mean.

it is nice that we can go to camp when desired rather then forcefully dragged back if we wanted to do anything meaningful.

please actually read what i said cause my entire point was about how grinding only started to exist in the end-game, BECAUSE you could make do just doing 1 hunt->one piece of gear all the way to said end game without really having to grind.

Yup!
and the thing that really sells it for me i can do that seamless expedition thing, WITH FRIENDS, meaning i can actually have a hunting party, the thing we didnt really get much focus on except for like MHO n such and even then those were more hunting specific arena monsters.

Just rolling out into the wilderness with your hunting party, surviving off the resources your brought and gather, establishing little outpost camps that can get attacked and hunting creatures together, it is THE experience ive wanted.

Dont get me wrong "the chosen one" shtick is fun but, i want to actually be part of a hunting team.


Still waiting for Riders in mainline MH, it has to happen eventually.

No gate keeping here but you jumped to conclusion and are clearly not interested in an intelligent discourse. Have a nice day

[ArashiE7753]

I've seen stuff about the game and even played around with it myself, there's nothing really wrong with it. It's still a fun game with plenty of options for you to do dumb things like making goofy armor builds. I think the only problem with it is people expecting every game to be a AAA release with absolutely no flaws about it, also people not knowing what graphic settings are and that there isn't too much of a difference between High and Ultra settings (cause apparently people seem to think that you absolutely NEED to play on Ultra settings).

work on providing an example before you try to critique others lmao

If your "meat" mean all of time waster like gathering tools and useless camp.
Then I can do without them, thanks.

I wish we actually have a reason to use paintball again tho, all this GPS tracking is a bit much.

Yup and that's a good thing, focus shifted away from what is in general more of a time waster than actual gameplay and shifted more onto getting people set up to hunt and do the actual monster hunter stuff, while still keeping gathering and such, just making it less of a tedium

Should see the first Monster Hunter on PS2. The 3ds one with 90 or so monsters was also hell. A lot of ideas they had weren't that great. I say good riddens with the tedious crap they tried to pull.
