Cautiously optimistic. I wanna see mooooore!

Day 1

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Nice. Playing Gen Ultimate on the treadmill has been a godsend.

 

[whitesugar]

RIP Japanese Switch stock

 

[Eevee86]

100% in. Hopefully it has a lot more monsters than World though.

 

[anab0lic36]

Please don't be 30fps.

 

[Eevee86]

Darn, that was great. More like that please.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

RIP Japanese Switch stock

If you've seen how much the Switch has sold on NPD, I wouldn't be surprised if it struggles to remain in stock in the west, too.

 

[Aidah]

Alright, looks interesting. I'm a big fan of Monster Hunter but didn't like a number of the changes in World. Hopefully this one ignores some of the changes World brought.

Hold on, is that a climb-anything BotW style mechanic in the trailer?

 

[Pejo]

On one hand - awesome! On the other hand - hate that it's locked to Nintendo hardware. Switch Pro or Switch 2 can't come soon enough.

*edit

It literally ate the concept of tailraiders. The grappling bug at least looks more fun than clutch claw.

Watching that trailer, I basically got the feeling of "MHW Lite". Love the new monsters though.

 

[Birdo]

I like the retro PS2/PSP graphical look.

I'm not being funny, I really do. It's how Monster Hunter was meant to be.

 

[GymWolf]

I kinda wanna be hyped because i didn't used my switch for the last 2 years or so but then i thought about a couple of things...

Is online multyplayer gaming on switch still the worst shit ever?
Is this a new game or just mhw with a couple of new monsters?
This shit is gonna be 30 fps right??

The graphics looks pretty good for a switch title, i'm surprised.

 

[oagboghi2]

Sounds like it's open world, and very focused on vertical combat

 

[Jooxed]

This looks really good

 

[worldwithpyramids]

This looks incredible. Art direction, traversal, mechanics, music. Seriously, so good. Day 1 for sure.

 

[-Arcadia-]

Those sure are some visuals, lol.

It really is no biggie, given the appeals of the series, but worth commenting on. Switch can do better than what we see here.

On the whole, really happy to see MH back on Nintendo for an installment. I can't wait to have some time to look at it properly, beyond peeking in for a few seconds at a time.

 

[oagboghi2]

2 companions, one attack and support, and you can carry both on a hunt.

This seems to be a real update for the more traditional monster hunter line

 

[RaptorGTA]

Please don't be 30fps.

Game visuals look like its going to be 30fps. Cant see it being 60fps. Either way I'm down for this game.

 

[gamerguywashere]

hey cool, that's my birthday

 

[somesang]

Well, see you later hundreds of hours.

 

[Orenji Neko]

Oh yes Monster Hunter。I will take it all please。MH is life！

 

[Danjin44]

I like the traversal in MH Rise, it looks fast pace and fun to explore.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Please don't be 30fps.

lol

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Looks fun. I think the portable nature alone would make me play it more than I did World, which was also really good of course.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I like the traversal in MH Rise, it looks fast pace and fun to explore.

Yeah, looks like a more expanded version of MHW´s grappling hook. Which is cool not only for the traversal, but to give you more agility in combat.
As a MH noob, I felt some weapons made you walk like a snail, maybe this fix that for me.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Rise looks incredible. Probably not gonna get my wish of the Arts / Styles returning, but the mobility and expanded level design are a fair exchange. I can already tell I'll put more hours into it than World.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Better than anything Sony showed yesterday.

Go-go monster hunter!

 

[oagboghi2]

Better than anything Sony showed yesterday.

Go-go monster hunter!

Can you not bring your shit here?

 

[Closer]

VEINS BE READY

 

[F31 Leopard]

I like the retro PS2/PSP graphical look.

I'm not being funny, I really do. It's how Monster Hunter was meant to be.

I'm actually glad they went back to the old art style but it's updated. Didn't really care for the "realistic" art in mhw. I still prefer segmented arenas instead of open but oh well it is what it is.

 

[Danjin44]

I can see myself able to playing this solo and still have tons of fun like I do with Souls/Bloodborne.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Can you not bring your shit here?

It's what I feel man: new monhan coming up! Best news ever!

 

[nordique]

Was a surprise, I have never been able to get into or enjoy monster hunter myself. This one though has me intrigued looks like travelling will be fun. I’m definitely going to give it a go

 

[TintoConCasera]

I can see myself able to playing this solo and still have tons of fun like I do with Souls/Bloodborne.

It's curious because, while I had a lot of fun playing solo, I also had some of my best online experiences just playing with randoms.
No bad vibes or bad talk, just some people working together to later dance or do silly things on the mission over screen.

Argh! This might make me renew my nintendo online subscription. ^^u

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

That verticality and mobility is gonna go nicely with my usual lance and hammer. Is glaive basically pointless now or have they turned it into a half-melee/half-ranged weapon?

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Rise from Persona 4?

Atlus cross collaboration confirmed?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I'll get both this and Stories 2

 

[iconmaster]

Looks like fun! I'm amused that the main character can just grapple into empty air, but I'll allow it.

 

[LarknThe4th]

Now the question has to be asked, can Switch beat the DS in Japan?

I think it's possible, I thought they would be lazy with Monster Hunter on Switch but this is a full blooded game, people are going to go Gaga for this!!

I myself really not in to playing with others, the MH World felt like its mostly about playing with others because of the scale but in MH Rise it feels like I can still have fun playing it Solo without worry about the Co-op parts. Its how I play Souls games, my entire joy playing those type of games is to explore and beat bosses by myself.

 

[Astral Dog]

Monster Hunter Stories also looks pretty cool

 

[DESTROYA]

Very nice, looks like another game to add to the growing library. I don’t care what people think or say of the Switch it really has outshined many other much more powerful consoles this gen.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Yeah totally! Aside from Nintendo´s lack of first-party new games, it has a really good library, specially for indies which play like a charm on handheld mode.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Any weapon classes standing out to people, based on the footage? I'm always torn between picking up my old faithfuls (lance, hammer, LBG) and trying out the new hotness.

 

[Punished Miku]

Looks amazing. Definitely getting it day 1. The mobility looks like Breath of the Wild + Ninja Gaiden, and you have wolf mounts and a weird sparkle double jump!?

 

[BRZBlue]

lol

Yeaaah. On stream it looked like... below 30 at times.

 

[Bridges]

 

[R6Rider]

I hope it keeps some QoL changes that World has, and hopefully the same map style instead of tiny areas with loading screens.

 

[Jooxed]

Love twitter/ Era is having a meltdown about this as well
