what the fuck is going on there

delete rise and make World 2

We don't need to fix anything. Just wait for Ryozo to bless us with MH6.

It's too far gone. They've strayed to far away from the core combat design and positioning is becoming less and less important every game. Your hunter becomes closer to an anime protagonist while the monsters still fight essentially the same as they have from Tri, just with a few new animations to account for interactions and terrain.

I just want World 2 without the clutch law.

you cant. world killed it by introducing it to a massive western casual audience and rise put the nail in the coffin by doubling down on their attempt to appeal to a new audience and it worked. there will never be another classic monhun. play the old ones and be happy with those. hell, maybe someday someone will be dedicated enough to make a fanmod of the older games with enough content but i wouldnt hold my breath

>muh rose-tinted nostalgia goggles
World is the first sequel MH has had since PS2 era.

everything about this video screams zoomer 101 what the fuck is even happening

Silence, worldsperm.

dumb bingtard

Rise and World are one and the same, casualfag.

Remove Ichinose. I'm sorry. FU was good. P3rd was good but Zinogre was the introduction of his corruption. Generations was where he went mad with power. He has to be removed.

hey wassup mhg guy say hi to them for me

I think he was always that retarded. MHFU was just an expansion to a base game that was barely a step above the PS2 games so it wasn't like there was much he could fuck up

add open world
add environmental hazards
make the weather and time of day affect monster behavior and open new strategies to the player
add palico mode

based
kino
world-pilled

lol no, Rise is trash. World is brilliant. Cope and dilate.

world was great but its what opened to floodgates. its a monkeys paw kind of thing. get a good game and destroy the series in the process

>World is brilliant
As pleb as it gets.

Delete rathalos
all subspecies, all variants, fuck all of them
FUCK RATHALOS

its the tower defense mode in Rise. as you make have guessed, its fucking awful

MHW is pretty much open world, only that there are five worlds. Guiding Lands is pretty big.

Maybe they'll opt for a singular unified map though. I can see them doing that. I would prefer if they didn't but it is what it is.

List of things that have made positioning less important:

>Mounting
>Being able to move while healing
>Monsters getting exhausted and giving you a free 20 seconds of damage while they stand there
>Various added "Super" moves
>Plethora of added guard points and counters to move sets
>Monster hitzones being generalized across the board and nothing unique like Diablos' tail weakzone to shot damage of the past
>Turf wars and environmental traps giving you free access to any point on the monster for 30 seconds
>Multiple AI companions to distract the monster

if you have MHW on pc, have you checked out the ICE mod? Holistic rework of a lot of game mechanics, one of them being the removal of the clutch claw as an almost mandatory thing to use. They added a guardpoint to GL quick reload and its pretty fucking satisfying to hit.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHH

What a dissapointment Rise is, after spending like 500 hours on World+Iceborne as soon as i completed Rise i lost all desire to keep going.

Wirebugs are cool tho

go back to 4th gen mh and try again. 5th gen was a massive step backwards, both rise and world. 4u is the foundation mh should be building upon

go back to pre-genU quality. genU, world and rise are all shit

make low rank optional and add g-rank to the base game instead of it being dlc
also, make monsters harder to balance better with wirebugs and such

>4u is the foundation mh should be building upon
You do realize that 4U was using the skeletons of the PS2 MH to its absolute limit right? 4U wasn't foundation for anything. It was the closing point for an era of MH that had gone on for way too long.

Yeah, i believe in Ryozo, hammer chads will rise once again

retarded poser

I agree that these ranks are outdated now. There should be a more organic way of sorting monsters. The fact that we still have to wait for G-rank with a DLC is bullshit. Rise felt like a fucking demo.

Why do girls like hammer so much?

I find it really strange how people compare the rise to icebourne when it should really only be matched against base world.
Or are there that many which aren't aware the games only half done before the G/Master rank expansion is out.

He asked how to fix it, not how to put the final nail in the coffin

and yet it was infinitely better than the absolute garbage we have today

because they get to do the pounding instead of the other way around

Inaccurate comparison. World was the first sequel we had to the PS2 MH games and brought forth huge changes to the series. Brainlets who fixate on monster count may not want to see it but World felt way more worthy of my money than Rise did. Rise just felt like a stripped down low budget version of World yet costing the same amount.

Unironically make the weapons smaller and faster. Nobody would be hunting monsters with a car sized hammer that's swing time is measured in minutes.
Make the monsters more reactionary to hits, stagger more, or flinched or something.

worldies simply aren't aware MH base games were always underwhelming jewish kike schemes

hot

And as usual, the sequel is always shit
A fitting example, I must say

>Or are there that many which aren't aware the games only half done before the G/Master rank expansion is out
entirely possible, a large number of anons started with world unfortunately

Im just starting MHW
As a newbie, what weapon should I be using?

I've liked ever MH game I've ever played except MH1
Great series

So go back to the time where the Japs get the HR game while we wait or import? No thanks
>DLC
5th fleeter problems
Don't listen to this guy he's REALLY gay

It wasn't. It had ton of ancient bullshit and the progression was still balanced for multiplayer. Not to mention it being a 3DS game which meant huge shortcomings of its own.

It all went downhill when they started fucking around with the maps and adding ledges and uneven terrain everywhere for gen 4. They need to roll it back down again to gen 3

>So go back to the time where the Japs get the HR game while we wait or import?
not what I said

ignore iceborne then, i dont mean the content but overall presentation of the game feels extremely low compared to World.

Not even trying to graphix fags too much but World had gigantic worlds that actually used verticality to its advantage, hell the first world is a giant ass tree that you can get to the top of, while Rise feels more like long plains with big rocks here and there.

Its 100% because of the switch exclusivity i know but...god damn.

iceborne and rise were a travesty. base world was pretty good tho

Since we're talking MH, what games do you feel pushed the franchise forward and brought innovation?

>World had gigantic worlds that actually used verticality to its advantage
Easily one of the most annoying aspects of the game.

You can use whatever. Long Sword is easy but sort of basic and creates bad habits of endless dodging. And you'd feel less like a special snowflake when going online.

I'm all for more interesting level design but World didn't do it right.

WHY ISN'T HAMMER AS SATISFYING AS THIS IN RISE? FUUUUUUUUUUUCK

>filtered by wirebug movement

all of them

>Its 100% because of the switch exclusivity
Not even that. Rise was always going to be a B-team venture that was going to engine test RE Engine for MH6. It was never going to amount to much. It's disgraceful how Capcom asked as much for Rise as they did for World. It's a $30 at most. Not a full-price AAA game.

I would call the clutch claw the worst, wirebugs are definetly better, no complain there
Maybe, but they did try and continue to expand on it with iceborne, while Rise currently has long empty feeling plains...but i guess Sunbreak could actually do something more interesting, we will see.

Fucking hate this obnoxious anime Spider-Man shit Ichinose always pulls. You may think it looks cool but it doesn't belong in MH. World already took it too far as it was.
