Camera in this game is awful

[Yuewu★★★]

Unless I'm playing ranged, whenever the monster is between me and the camera, I might as well just turn the monitor off. I can't see a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing. I don't know where I am. I don't know what the monster is doing. I just see the camera zoomed into the monster on a microscopic level. Happens way too often with everything other than fanged beasts. Extremely irritating.

yea fighting gore/ark is pretty much trying to fight with ur screen half covered with stuff

[Hettar]

Yeah, the camera can be goofy in tight spaces, and there's a lot of them.
Luring the monsters in open areas can help, the Focus Mode too, when you get used to it !

Edit: Yeah Gore Magala is the worst, but mostly because he spawns only in Icy Cliffs (not sure about the name in English), which doesn't have a lot of open arenas. Plus he's huge and fast, so it gets pretty chaotic.

Yeah it sucks. I felt like this was an issue in base world but it was FIXED in iceborne.

i got used to fighting blindly, i did it in gbfrelink ,did it in world, did it in rise so i'd probably do it again.

if i get hit on a bad angle, that just means I havent fought this monster 500 times lmao.
my leeway for this is putting my horizontal speed at 15 (controller) and hope my "blindness" can catch the attack. I'm not going to say "git gud", since it is indeed a capcom problem, but all I can tell us both is to cope.

there is an option in the settings where you can add a see thru outline on your character so if boss is in the way you can still see urself

[Rampant Luck]

This is the only reason I'm using a mod. There's a certain one that has an option to increase fov. It messes with certain menus and icons, but I don't mind needing to temporarily disable it if it means I can see during hunts.

if they fix the camera feature those "veterans" will be even more whining about the game is getting even more easier.

I don't play ranged but for melee weapons, focus mode literally allows you to aim your attacks while inside a monster. Keep that crosshair on their bodyparts (legs, tails, head, wings) and keep swinging. Also it could possibly help if you change your camera zoom, I zoomed mine all the way out since day 1.

[Yuewu★★★]

They did it. I'm now a lance player. I hold guard and the game can be played with one hand. Thank you Capcom.

[Razaah !!!!]

This whole issue is strange too since when fighting rathian there is moments where the camera zooms out farther than usual so you can see what the monster is up to.

It happens just with rathian afair maybe the camera is supreme bugged for every other monster ?
That would be hilarious actually.

But ya GM is pretty horrible camera wise. Just try to figure out where its behind is and roll there whenever you hear it squeak.
Thats when everything near the face tends to explode.

what annoys me the most is that this game starts controller optimized. Radial Menu? What a cramp why the keyboard quickbar is not displayed as default is a mystery to me, press 1-0 keys for direct selection instead of CTRL - left click - move mouse in that direction and release.

So you first have to optimize the game for PC itself including this annoying focus camera which automatically focuses on the monster.

What remains is the fight against big enemies. Whoever came up with the idea of letting us fight against them in small areas ... really please a blow to the neck.
If the monster is too close, it becomes transparent. Yeah WTF I fight a gore magala which is already on a drug and then it becomes transparent and I can't see the animations anymore, I get almost 1-hit, it's like fighting an invisible enemy, nice one.

Oh, the camera is awful for gunners too. The most awful it has ever been in the entire series. Unbelievably jank.

Because only rare and elusive weirdos play Monster Hunter games with M&K.
