![]() ![]() Let us just start with the good and work our way down. I said before I’m a big fan of Monster Hunter and maybe it’s just me, but I feel like training wheels for new players came with Monster Hunter World and only got worse with Rise. Instead I look at how well the game works within itself and how frustrating the game is or can be. When it comes to games, I’m not the first to say a game is great or not because of storylines or how well the game looks. In the end, it is about preparedness and experience working together to balance the pros and cons of different armor and weapons as you face creatures from all different environments and abilities. What seems to be a trivial addition to movement can turn the tables when used at the right times. The new Wire Bugs are a testament to this helping hunters move through the air more easily and use surprising attacks. You will also get new abilities that might help you deal with earlier problems or mistakenly put yourself in the path of a new threat. The armor you get from different monsters have different traits and resistances, meaning reinforcing your armor against fire could weaken you to another element.Īrmor isn’t the only thing affected weapons lash out with different statuses or elements, even sharpness or type of bullets is influenced by the creature it is made of. Stronger monsters mean stronger gear, yes, but because the rewards are the monster’s materials rather than just loot, you are only as strong as the meanest thing you can hunt multiple times. As you progress and get higher and higher in the ranks, you will find that the monsters become stronger and more numerous. We’re Gonna Need Bigger Gunsīigger is always better, unless its teeth, claws, or the size of that tail that is about to remind you why you wear armor. I was waiting for the “go do other things, I’ll tell you when I’m ready” line games tell you so you spend time doing something other than the storyline, but before I knew it I was half way done and outclassed. ![]() Personally, I’m happy that they went back to this method after having every Urgent quest available one after another in Monster Hunter World. ![]() Once the Key and Urgent Quests are done you can try your hand at a new level of starred quests. In previous games the Key Quests were not marked, making you wonder if you have to fight the angry T-Rex with wings, but Rise assures you, yes you have to fight the overgrown electric Nightstalker. Each level has Key Quests that need to be done before the Urgent Quest can be attempted. While quests can be anything from hunting pigs, collecting eggs, or repelling an elder dragon bent on burninating all of your peoples, quests have been split up by difficulty into different levels of starred quests. Major plot points come out as you complete Urgent Quests, which also opens up new quests and usually new ways of hunting. Climbing the RanksĪlong with a familiar story comes a familiar progression. So there are no story elements missing from not playing other titles, just missing experience. While monsters from other games make appearances, plot points and characters from other games do not. If you’ve played Monster Hunter before you might see the same formula as many other games in the series, but don’t worry if this is your first time. Learning all you can about new monsters, tools, and abilities will help you gain strength to overcome the growing challenges around Kamura. With new friends and teammates, you set out to face this disaster head on. As a new hunter in the town, you are walked through some of the finer points of the hunt, while signs of an impending disaster begin to loom over the village. Monster Hunter Rise introduces us to Kamura Village, where not all is well. With the new installment, Monster Hunter Rise, on the Nintendo Switch we are asked again, will we become the hunter or the hunted? Almost 20 years after the first release, Monster Hunter is still challenging hunters to draw their weapons and forge their place among the ranks. Me? Well, I saw countless hours hunting, gathering, and carving my way through most of the titles. 2004 saw the release of the first Monster Hunter and Capcom saw the start of what would become a World wide hit. ![]() I have a lot of great memories from a lot of great games, but none stand out in my mind as much as the Monster Hunter line up. ![]()
