          I do t they really care what mechanic is or isn’t used. It’s like someone “important” whined about it. It’s like that with most games. Take.. I don’t know… R6 Siege… 99% of the community will complain about x, y, or z, but Ubisoft doesn’t give a shit. Now, if the e-sports team whine about it, that shit gets changed ASAP.

            They're just taking underwhelming moves and buffing them to make them feel more appealing to try and use, I don't see the harm in that. Dash Breaker had absolutely no purpose with Keeping Sway existing for example, and Partbreaker Oil was actively detrimental more than it helped.

                Sure but that weakest weapon should be one that makes sense
                Hammer has nothing other than damage and KO so its damage and KO being shit makes no sense
                Lance with its buffed counters and step attacks gets to be nearly invincible and has absurd mobility but it also clears faster than hammer, where's the sense in that?
                MH isn't competitive and I'm not asking for it to be balanced like a competitive game but the strengths and weaknesses of weapons in this game just make no sense at times and it makes the weapons less satisfying to use as a result

                Making up excuses on comparisons don't make sense, every weapon has its niche and strengths including hammer. It's also not in any way GL or HH tier weak and isn't pigeonholed into one type of play like DB which has similar clear times without any KOs

                I remember back in 4U where people thought Hammer was a beginner weapon but couldn't handle being at the monster's head because it was a death zone, so people just called the weapon a shit beginner weapon rather than admitting they were bad and couldn't handle hitting the monster from the front rather than tickling its tail the whole hunt.

                Hammer was shit in 4U though. Had to put in 10 times more work than every other weapon learning golfswing headsnipes for no payoff compared to GS or CB.

                It wasn't, it's nowhere near as good as GS or IG but it was still better than average if you want to use TA runs as a metric.
                It could even stun a lot faster than CB can assuming you were good enough to consistently hit the head because you didn't need to go through the song and dance of building vials/shield buff first, it's just that hitting the head repeatedly was hard while CB just had to land one or two moves so many people mistakenly believed that CB was better at stunning than hammer because they're bad at the game.

                Hammer and GS were fairly even in base MH4, Hammer like most other weapons got worse in 4U because of monster design, and GS got overpowered gear.

                Wouldn't playing solo make it easier to combo the head because they're more predictable? 4 player groups is where playing hammer becomes a pain because you have to constantly react to the monster turning to attack another player.

                I say coordinated runs as in a run where the 2 players stand right next to each other and do their attacks in a planned and coordinated fashion. This lets you chain flinches and knockdowns in such a way that you can keep attacking. It's easier to snipe heads solo because the monster is more predictable, but attack windows are simply not large enough to do full combos on heads a lot of the time unless it's to punish certain long animation attacks like most projectiles.

      Same reason Iceborne’s reviews were poor on Steam. A lot of PC players or PCheaters as I like to call them, use mods when playing. Whenever there’s a major title update, their games usually break and remain broken until they remove the outdated mods.

      Because Rise as a whole is a bad Monster Hunter game, just like World, and the expansions for both didn't fix that. On top of that, the Title Updates for Sunbreak have been especially shit in terms of variety.

            Exactly. I adore model viewers, they're one of my favorite things to do when I'm just winding down with a game. I like seeing all the work put into the models and textures and all that. That's especially true in a game like MH, where it's hard to appreciate the little details on monsters since they're constantly in motion. It's a much bigger loss to me than out of place layered armor I probably would have used a handful of times, when the game itself contains a shit-ton of armor and all of it can be layered.

            Paid DLC in general was always the tipping point, but I can still look the other way because I don't buy it and don't engage with it.
            There's a big line they haven't crossed yet, though, and that's the 'extra paid content' line. Once they start charging for quests or god forbid monsters is when I officially tap out.

            I did the math and removing soundtracks and the expansions, the DLC comes out to about $40 in Rise's favor. I agree the balance will probably shift soon though.

            >Also wrong. I'm playing through HR right now and there's no quests that have given unlockable armor, all there's been is requests that unlock weapon trees.

            Not quests, side quests, i.e. those given to you by NPCs to go capture a monster, collect X number of parts, etc. A ton of them offer new armor and weapons designs. If you're still in HR you just may not have gotten them yet.

            Also, if you're in HR how can you comment in the number of armors?

              I know the difference. I mentioned requests because those are the only things that have given me new weapon designs. I'm HR 82 and have done most of the optional quests yet haven't gotten a single armor set from them.
              >Also, if you're in HR how can you comment in the number of armors?
              The internet. Not that I'd need it to know that a game with no gunner armor, apex armor or armor for that qurio bullshit outside of Risens doesn't have a shit ton of armor. Especially compared to other entries in the series.

      Smaller in scope than World/Iceborne with worse performance and worse graphics. That's all it'll take for most people to rate it lower. Gameplay is just as good though with large enough differences that some will prefer one over the other. Personally I think Rise/Sunbreak gameplay would've been perfect if they hadn't gone for the switch skill gimmick, as is a lot of weapons get really shitty balancing like base game hammer's damage being concentrated entirely in a single wirebug skill or weapons get designed around switch skills that are either not fun at all, like Harvest Moon, or otherwise are so central to the weapon's flow that playing without them is moronic. If Rise had just made a single well-designed moveset for each weapon it would've turned out much better.

      Yeah I've been doing dirty damage with it. Hitting for 100-120+ with EVERY hit of it, chain stunning the crabs even with anomaly buffs because of how absurd the damage is with full crit/cb/elecrit,mailofhellfire and 1 ele exploit and 5x element.

      DB already felt stupidly good to me (though largely because I don't have to learn timings and can just zoom around, with very high DPS up time and huge burst when I actually feel out a time where I can drill-frick them)

      Honestly the GL lv8 buffs are gonna be nice enough themselves, doing some math ele. Wide GLs with poke-shell fighting could even end up stronger than long or normal fullburst spams, which were the meta way of playing and are also getting buffed by this change. I don't know shit about how the wirebug move changes will play out yet but those are just extras on top of what we needed. Really doubt GL will end up super strong but who cares, picking it wont mean 3-5 extra minutes on high level anomaly hunts anymore.

        This is me. Using Harvest Moon in MP is more or less impossible and Iai does almost no damage without it. Helm Breaker is still okay but I mostly use it when I don't feel like I have an opening for SSC and I have two wirebugs so I can quickly regain my meter with a SSS. I really think they need to buff the base Iai slash since there's almost no reason to use it without Harvest Moon now.

        Also, I'm not great at the game, so going the casual route makes sense.

        No, moron. I understand you're probably a pedophilic tendie and Rise if your first MH game. But, no, Rise is not Monster Hunter.
        Monster Hunter required you to prep for each hunt, to know the monsters intimately. You had to know the maps, the know the monsters move sets, know what set and weapon you needed. You had track the monster, hunt them, then mark with them with a paint ball for when the ran.
        Rise is just bullshit. You don't have to put any thought into sets or weapons. You don't have to hunt the monsters, or track them when they run.
        It's not even close to a Monster Hunter game.
        Now run along and post some more e-girl waifus and pretend you're not a pedo.
        God I fricking hate Tendies more than anything.

          >Monster Hunter required you to prep for each hunt, to know the monsters intimately. You had to know the maps, the know the monsters move sets, know what set and weapon you needed. You had track the monster, hunt them, then mark with them with a paint ball for when the ran.
          Yeah no. All you had to do was learn the spawn locations and the game just became the same "monster fighter" you hate rise for being. Hell most didn't even use paintballs especially in gen 3 and beyond where the shadow was easy to track.

          Sorry kiddo but the monster hunter you thought it was doesn't actually exist.
          I wonder if you created the idea be ause you always wanted to play it but never could. That would also explain the irrational hatred of a group of people who don't exist

          The only real OGs are those who used the right thumb stick to swing the weapon (and only when it actually came out, not 15 years later). They are far and few between now.

    Im liking the gunlance buffs. With hail cutter being 1pt you can spam wyvern fire with long GL since 2 HCs will give you a full recharge. Theres also the fact that ground splitter will be lasting longer and on a shorter cooldown. I think its currently 25sec recharge and lasts 30seconds? If its something like 15sec with a 40-45sec buff it will be amazing to use.
