Most boring hand-holding mh story

[RaMEN]

Beat the story which a unskipable walking mess. I came from 3u and played every game out since this is not it. But of course capcom will not care money talks the most. Feeling sad knowing this the future of the franchise because why would they do more than this game when sales are breaking records. Same route as Pokemon do little as possible and people will still buy it.

you do know unskippable cutscenes showing off the environments and setting aren't what gets people to buy "Monster Hunter," right? this is the artists taking a risk by emphasizing the slower parts of the games (the actual world you're in) as opposed to the actual monster hunting. if you want "money talks the most," go look at rise, which is just fast action after fast action the whole time.

and you can't really say they're doing "little as possible" if you're an actual fan of the series. you should be able to notice little details, like monster behavior, the complex endemic life, environmental effects of monster attacks and idle roaming, and the fact that SEIKRET PUPILS DILATE AT NIGHT. there are so many little details that make this game a passion project, but you're too focused on the story (which hasn't really ever been monster hunter's strong suit anyway) to realize what's good about the game

It's impossible not to be when the game rams it down your throat for so many hours. I feel like the majority of my play time so far has just been "get forced to follow this NPC while listening to redundant yapping". It's absolutely unbearable, it's making the whole experience feel like a "rush to the end so I can start enjoying things more" chore. Heavy story focus is the gangrenous leg of Monster Hunter, in my opinion.

The story is such a slog, follow x npc followed by cutscene, into another follow x NPC scene. I prefer the old school approach. I am here to hunt monsters and not walk next to npcs

[Катюша]

Yeah, it's been horrendous so far. Even skipping the skippable cutscenes doesn't make it any less obnoxious. No idea why modern games are so filled with so much hand-holding and slow unskippable animations. It was horrendous in Final Fantasy VII remakes, and it's even more horrendous here.

[Partyrock]

I can't do the unskippable stuff. That alone makes me want to pass on the game. I just want to play the game. Making me stop for minutes at a time to watch a story I don't care about just frustrates me.

[Rat]

I would tolerate it more if I was allowed to do it with my friends in real time. But no, I have to do it alone, then get the awesome first time monster reveal before mundanely hitting the return from quest button. All to play co-op with people I actually know.

You can say what you want about emphasis and whatnot, but the slowness being as forced as it is really bothers me. I feel like my time is being wasted. Like yeah, cool, the areas and the ecology is neat. I would rather gather that from side quests that have me capture endemic life or take photos of specific landmarks. If players aren't going to play those side quests, then they likely won't pay much attention to the forced bits. Just please, stop interrupting the flow of things and pace appropriately for the content as a whole. I don't need to be shown the pretty butterfly 10x like I'm five.

People didn't like the first quest in Wildspire Waste in World for a reason.

[Chaos]

Yeah, MH usually give a nice lore for it's world by other quest description and some fluff talk in the hub, which doesn't interrupt you at all.

But this ♥♥♥♥ is just obnoxious.
Maybe I just want to stay around a bit longer and collect some mats but NOOOOO.
We got to go back and meet the next NPC NOW.

[Platapoop]

All I can say is... it could've been worse.

The horror of having to go through a short story to begin your end game grind, of which you will likely forget about any complaints you had about said story thus making this thread utterly pointless to make.

I actually like the stories of 4u and world so whats your point here? The story here is bad and so slow compared to all previous gens. I will not forget this slop they tried to throw together when banger stories came out before.

No one plays MH for story

[Noctoculus]

At least you can skip the dialogue this time.

So your telling me it can only be one way or another? I call cap 4u was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing in terms of game-play and story. All im saying is it can be both. But if you can't get that then your just like all the Pokemon fans with these ♥♥♥♥ games they produce because that's what your saying.

[Matex]

I wish I could smash Nata's skull in so he would shut the ♥♥♥♥ up. Yapping Hunter.

Imagine going to a restaurant for a 5 course luxury menu. But before you get that, you have to eat a spoon of ♥♥♥♥.

Yeah
