Monster Hunter Megathread

[Elwiwi]

For all things MH!

What's your favouriote Monster? Mine is Barroth, look at him he is stupid

Monster Hunter Wilds looks bad I'm not monster hunter fan so maybe I just don't get it but an open world monster hunter game sounds like a terrible idea especially in RE engine. Is this something Monster Hunter fans want?

 

[DunkeyKong]

Not sure, but a lot of fans are pretty okay with it. I think an open world Monster Hunter is nothing new since Monster Hunter World already have a big open space kind of setting, but it'll definitely be much bigger in Wilds

The graphics though? I don't mind really, not that bad I guess. If it plays like Monster Hunter then that's good enough for me

Personally I'm definitely partial to the older, stiffer and more compartmentalized style of classic MH, but I do also absolutely see the appeal of what open world design might add to the experience.

I think in large part it comes down to which part of the MH experience appeals to you - is it the tight combat, the well-designed battles?
Well, in that case open world design introduces a whole bunch of potential (but not unsolveable!) problems to the equation that break design integrity and balance and generally change the entire dynamic between the player, their resources and the bosses.

Is it the fantasy of being a scrappy Hunter of fantastical looking giant Monsters that are designed with at least some degree of evolutionary and behavioral logic?
Well then the open world GREATLY enhances the experience for you (at least potentially) in that you get to see how all of these various different creatures behave, hunt, sleep and generally spend their days as you methodically research and/or stalk them.

Again, I'm more of a fan of the older titles, but I do get what makes the newer, more free-form/open world titles so appealing to so many people.

In any case, I'm definitely looking forward to Wilds, but I'm also a long-time addict, so my judgment is utterly tainted.
(In my ideal world we'd get a Frontier resurgence or something though)

I loved World (except for the clutch claw) but didn’t like Rise very much at all, so I’m interested in seeing if they manage to evolve ”big Monster Hunter” (as me and my friends call the World style) in a good way.

I’m not gonna buy it immediately since I want to see how it performs, but I know that I’ll have a good time with my friends down the line, no matter if it’s a weak or strong entry.

That being said, I’m still not sold on a non RE game in the RE engine, since both Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Street Fighter 6 have their fair share of issues, from technical to stylistic.

Performance is definitely a concern my brother was asking me how much hes gonna have to spend to get a pc that can run it all i could say was "a lot"
RE Engine is pretty cool but I'm afraid Capcom is doing the same thing EA did with the frostbite engine in the 2010s forcing all their developers to use it even in projects that would be better off in unreal

I'll hold on any sort of judgment until I try it myself, which is maybe a year or two from now, when they already release all of the DLC and stuff.

Yeah that’s probably a good comparison.
I think it’s a really good engine for games like Resident Evil, but I’m not completely convinced it’s good for open-ended environments yet, or arcadey stuff like SF. Hopefully Wilds will be a good iteration and maybe they learned some lessons with DD2.

I think that ain't a dragon, that's a wyvern. Other than wyverns though, I love Amatsu. It looks so fascinating

 

[Octopus]

Great Jagras, and I'm not joking. I fucking love that greasy haired guy.

Other than him, I really like odogaron, teostra, bazlegeuse and nergigante.

Fan of the (mostly) forgotten Gobul here. Real fun to fish a monster to stun him.
