Monster Hunter Wilds Announced in c/monsterhunter@lemmy.world
[–] MrDiamondJ@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I'm hyped, man. I'm playing through World now after dumping ~800 hours into MH RiseBreak across Switch and PS5. Loving it despite the difficulty spikes (Raging Brachyidos sends his regards). Hopefully Wilds smoothes out these spikes and also makes the campaign more easily played through with other people. World still has people playing years after release (only thing I can't find parties for are the sieges). I gotta sink time into MHGU, though...so many monsters, so little time.

I chose Scorned Magnamalo. I love that murder kitty.

MHR Help choose a weapon in c/monsterhunter@lemmy.world

You'll pry my Great Sword from my cold dead hands. No matter the meta it's always at least decent, and dead simple to be effective with. Difficult against mons with quick attacks that have a wide range, though (e.g. Gore Magala).

Yeah, that's what I'm reading. Won't go too far down the rabbit hole with the US version then.

Played Monster Hunter on the PS2 for the first time. My thoughts:

  1. It's amazing how much the core tenets of the game have been retained even 20 years later. You play MH and it feels a bit more primitive, but not completely foreign. Monsters are familiar, weapons are familiar, music is familiar. It doesn't feel much different from the PSP games or the even the 3DS games.

  2. Swinging your weapon with the right analog stick is the weirdest thing. This makes the way the PSP games control make a lot more sense.

  3. I really wish there were pirate servers out there so I could play online. That would be great. I wish companies would make open-source servers after the corporate ones go offline, because MH is all about playing with others.

It's a cool look back, though.

I play way more retro games due to packages like EmuDeck being so slick.

Monster Hunter Now (lemmy.world)
 

I was never a big Pokémon Go guy, although I dabbled for a while. I'm really curious about Monster Hunter Now, though...did anybody get into the first beta? I did not.
