I will never forgive them for continuing to reuse the slap-on designs for World's returning monsters, they look so awful and the monsters deserve way better. The few unique designs are really good (Odogaron dual blades are fantastic) and I want to see that translated to the other weapon classes.
You can change it back to meows but there's still a Lynian subspecies (Wudwuds) that will speak English/Japanese regardless of whether or not you want them to, there is a reason for it though so I can kinda forgive it.
You mean the optional cosmetic quests that get added post launch in updates and it has been that way since the 3DS games? If anything, World made it commonplace for the cool cosmetics to be reserved for DLC.

I'm probably rubbing salt in the wound but they're adding the gathering hub in the first major update. That and the state of the final boss confirm to me that execs made them rush it out of the door.
Perfect dodge makes dual blades disgustingly strong. Bad positioning doesn't matter and you can get greedy if you get a perfect dodge, and generally get to counter-attack with a buff while the monster whiffs. Between that and spreading damage across half-made wounds and then chaining invincible spiderman focus attacks buzz-sawing across their body multiple times while stunned, it's overpowered fun.
Rise is becoming a tad overrated. It’s got some of the oldschool charm but it’s mostly just as pozzed as world. And I still don’t forgive them for that Rampage mode bs. I know they memoryholed it super quick but that was legitimately the worst thing ever included in a Monster Hunter game
Yeah it’s all relative. I don’t like the skills, armor designs, bright/ostentatious color pallet, dango instead of meat, and that all the maps are almost identical (ok the lava area is nice) but I still like it way better than World/Wilds.
Yeah as an extension of GU and trying to quicken up the combat pace more I like it a lot and have put a lot of time into it, fingers crossed whatever the portable team puts out next is good. I would really like them to get back to how satisfying hitting things felt in the old games. World and from what I've seen of Wilds it does that thing where you slice into a monster/flesh and you get a puff of drywall dust and Borderlands damage numbers and I absolutely can't stand that shit. The big draw to the older titles to me is discerning weak points from the hit feedback and the blood splatter without the game literally giving me damage number pop ups and going "SEE RETARD, HIT HERE WITH X WEAPON." Rise was just as bad in this regard with the fucking rave lightshows that would go off whenever you'd crit something which was all the time because WEX was OP and everyone ran it.
Yeah there’s zero impact, hitting the monster in the face with a GS used to SMACK. And the little half second flash of red for a crit was perfect. Now its like you said, a puff of dust, like clapping erasers together. It carries over to the feel of the whole game, it’s so inarticulate and clumsy. It seems like the portable team can get the feel just right. Definitely looking forward to whatever the hell they’re doing for Switch 2.
I did that initially but it's so fucking uninspired. One quiet meow for like 3 sentences. They didn't even try.
Yes but if you turn off damage numbers the feedback doesn't give you the information you need to know if you're hitting the right things or not, it isn't that simple.
The cat's voice is one thing, but my fucking character is literally a lisping faggot. I am baffled by it. He ruins every heroic act or serious situation when I hear his fruity voice. Genuinely what were they thinking?
