Is there enough enemy/boss variety to not get bored?

[ŁōãF]

Im really searching for a game like monster hunter to make the wait until 2025 a little bit easier.

[楊玄。杨玄。LangrisserWWE]

Simple answer, no. You are just fighting the same bosses in different shade of colour and difficulty level. Only the last two final boss is kinda different but can be enjoyable. Until you get bored of bashing their brains out eventually.

It is a grind fest that is what this is. But the fun part is, trying out different builds and sigils combinations with a load of characters. At least for me.

Endgame does reuse bosses but as you move to higher difficulty quests the attack patterns for each boss become more intense and a bit more complex.

The variants of each boss you'll fight in the final difficulty are noticeably harder than they are when you first fight them.

For what it's worth I think the boss fights in this game are very fun, despite the monsters being reused. That together with how each character has a distinct playstyle has made this game very enjoyable for me.

The game also has a bit of loot to grind in the form of sigils too. Tinkering with those to minmax a particular character has a good amount of depth to it.

Out of everything there is like only 1 boss that is completely different and doesn't have a recolor. or a repeat

Lucillius will be the unique boss #2

There is an okay amount of enemy variety. You fight a lot of recolors but some of them like the recolored dragons do actually have different movesets from each other.

The main problem with Relink's endgame is that fighting against a single boss moving around in an arena - which is most of the quests - eventually becomes a little boring and samey, since you just chase him around and block attacks. The story boss fights that have more original stuff going on, like the earth giant and the parts on him you break off, or the lava snake that sends lava waves towards different islands and raises/lowers the lava level, or the fight against Proto-Bahamut on the airship, etc, tend to be more refreshing, but there aren't many of them.

Monster Hunter Wilds i believe

A lot of recolored bosses. Basically if you see fight boss expect to at least see 1 recolor at the least and up to 6 iirc. If you're expecting MHW level of variety you'll be disappointed.

If we're counting bosses by pure unique model I think theres around 18 boss including mini bosses and extremely gimick fights. You'll end up fighting a lot recycled boss, different bosses put in the same arena or just straight up a stronger version of a nearly identical boss.

by that ridiculous standard there is 1. but if thats how you want to categorize bosses monster hunter world with iceborn dlc has 1 and thats fatalis. even alatreon has a fire version and an ice version. you fight every other monster multiple times on different difficulties or in double quests or harder variations etc.

people say the craziest stuff to make points sometimes

to actually answer the question by making a comparison. if you purchased monster hunter world and did not buy iceborne right now you would get a game with 36 large monsters. if you bought this game right now you would get 29.


nazarbonju
scarmiglione
geresene
goblin warrior
griffin
3 odiles
id
id with transformation
maglielle
galanza
furicane
managarmer
excavalion
angramainyu
angramainyu v2
the 3 nihilla variations of the primals
bahamut
versa
pyet-a
the 6 elemental dragons

considering monster hunter world launched with 30 monsters thats pretty good

[MaxLos]

Yes. And this game has some of the most cinematic boss fights I've ever seen in a game, I've never gotten the same feeling of hype and spectacle when fighting a new boss in games like Monster Hunter, not even close. Boss variety will not be a problem until you reach farrrr into the end-game when you actually have to grind a bit

Ahhh yes "the 3 nihila variations of the primals" this game isnt even really related to monster hunter as much as it is just Bayonetta without any actual boss mechanics

If we count azure rathalos, silver rathalos, dread king rathalos, and apex rathalos all of whome have less new move variety than the nihilias, why wouldn’t we count the nihillas

[ar2games]

There's a decent ammount of bosses but you'll fight easy versions of 90% of them in the story and post game they just get a few new attacks or they have different element versions.

Oddly enough it still is very enjoyable and even after 70+ hours I'm not bored because there are 20 playable characters that play completely different and they have their own progession.

Do keep in mind this not really like monster hunter, bossfights are just that and you don't need to chase them around a map but there are other type of quests like defending some areas or time limited horde modes.

If you want monster hunter, try dragon's dogma if you haven't.

I am right though? Pyet-A is the only boss that does not have a recolor or a repeat in this game, what point are you trying to argue against?

Hmm yeah, that I agree with you, the irony.

[楊玄。杨玄。LangrisserWWE]

If you have things in the game to enjoy. It doesn't matter.
