They Fix Multiplayer?

[TikTok&TTV/BeefQuake]

So I got this on PS4 when it first came out with friends, but the multiplayer campaign basically required us each to start a mission, watch the cutscene, and THEN invite each other.

After everyone "beats" the game it was a lot easier to join up and play together, but my friends gave up before that.

Is it still the same way?

Yup. Enjoy!

this actually hasn't been fixed. unfortunately, you still need to wait for the host to view cutscenes.

it's also still present in iceborne... incredible...

Ah that sucks, probably a pass from me even with such a nice sale then.

for what it's worth, the story is the least important aspect of the game in terms of actual gameplay, since you're only able to run the story quests once. the real meat of the game is in the optional and event quests which don't have cutscenes of any kind!

still tho, your reasoning is totally valid bc the story/cutscene stuff was so badly executed imo

Why is this such a point on contention for people? It's a MINOR inconvenience at most. But do what you want, if you're petty enough to let a minor inconvenience keep you from enjoying something theres no point in attempting to convince you one way or the other.

I don't blame you. It's such an awkward, bad way of handling multiplayer that I wouldn't be surprised if tons of people stopped playing the game just because of it. Compounding the issue are forced cutscenes.

it's not petty to refrain from spending money on a product you know you won't be totally satisfied with. even if it is a minor thing, it's still an annoying feature.

I don't think it's fair to say it's petty. In fact, it's a valid complaint.

It's just a really odd way of handling multiplayer in a game where playing with others is one of the main selling points. Hopefully it will be improved in the sequel.

Well, players should be doing the base story solo, its a weird side effect of having the solo and mp quests in one group

I vehemently disagree with this statement. If you've got friends, you can and should be able to enjoy the story together. And the process should be seamless.

No i mean thats what was said. The story has always been a solo experience. World has a story, that you can ask for help on

the story teaches you how to fire sos flares. if it was supposed to be played solo, then the story quests would be initiated from an offline village as they are in other mh titles, rather than the online hub and offline village being the same location.

Thank you for ignoring what I said completely. The Sos flare tutorial specifically states "if you need help". With hp scaling too, solo is just faster

It's petty when your reason for not buying an otherwise fine product is a minor issue that is easily ignored. You're free to not buy it, but don't make it for such a lame reason as "They make me watch a short cutscene before people can join my game." Yes it's annoying, but in no way should that be the deal breaker. If that's what is a deal breaker for you, it's petty on your part.
