Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Version 16.0.1 Out Now On Switch, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

There's so many games on my backlog right now, but I do miss this game and I'm gonna return eventually.

Yeah, I'll put this on the wish list for if the back log ever declines enough.

Kind of need to check this series out and see what's up.

Since I mostly play on PC I might just “speed up” the anomaly grind so I can actually reach the research quota for upgrades and new content. Aside from the grind I really enjoyed Sunbreak and am a little sad its over. Outstanding expansion and the title updates brought a lot to the table in terms of builds and content. Now that everything is out I can see myself tinkering with the insane amount of options available now.

@roy130390 Glad I’m not the only one that tossed this in the backlog, lol. I played through the endgame of base MHR, but never started Sunbreak. Was kinda waiting for the eventual end of the content so I could have the full thing ready to go.

Currently I have Diablo 4 I’m working on, but once I hit a decent stoping point there I plan on jumping back into MHR and blasting through Sunbreak.

I recently got back into MHR when it released on PSN, completed the campaign but haven't started Sunbreak yet since it hasn't been available on PlayStation for that long. Also put MHR in my backlog until i can finish other games like "Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life"

@Dm9982 Sunbreak is fantastic, I'm sure that you'll enjoy it. It really adds a lot and revitalizes the game.

Do you recommend Diablo 4? I struggled getting engaged with Diablo 2 Resurrected and Diablo 3 because I wanted the more fluid and dynamic combat of Diablo 3 with the aesthetic of Diablo 2 and that game seems to do that.

@roy130390 Diablo 2 is the superior looter, but it’s harder to get into because it’s still old school, and doesn’t really get fluid until Hell farming starts (unless you rock a Summon Necro, Fist of Heaven/Blessed Hammer Paladin…. Those 2 classes and builds can clear Hell and farm with ease)

That said, Diablo 4 really is about as close to a balance between D2 and D3 as one can get. Just broke into WT4 tonight (World Tier 4 / Torment) and it’s been a fun ride. Everything about D4 is superior to D3 thus far. Pretty much anything you want to build will work to get you to level 100, you don’t have to be stuck into Set Bonuses to progress thankfully! Skills feel more useful, and hits feel like the connect - this was a problem I had with D3, every enemy felt like a ghost and you’d run right through them. D3 was also too bright for the series, D4 greatly rectifies that.

Itemization is still an issue, but not as much as D3. D2 worked so well because any single piece of gear could possibly boost you to a greater height, and your skill choices mattered. D3 you had to rely on a whole set, then you had to build your skills around that set. D4 mostly fixes this with gear going back to helping boost your skills and being able to build around those. But items still don’t feel “weighty” on their own, usually requiring 2-3 legend aspects to really start shinning. On the plus, that does make it so you can turn any rare you find into a legendary. And they’ve brought back unique items that can greatly alter your build / playstyle, and more over they’re rare and not just tossed at you. So you get half the loot system of D3 where more stuff drops, but also some rare stuff that barely drops so you have the “hit the jackpot” feel that D2 had.

Overall I def recommend it!

@Dm9982 Wow, it does seem like it improved in a lot of ways, thanks for the detailed information, I'll definitely be getting it then!

@roy130390 Np! I was cautiously optimistic about it going into it. I’ve been a fan since D2 back in 2001. And while the original story was interesting, the games really haven’t been about the story. That’s just a side portion. Always about the loot. D4 tells a pretty awesome story tho, surprising emotional moments. Really well done, and the story quest in total is pretty long, at least 30 hours. After that you can choose to ignore it for any secondary characters and just focus on side quests and dungeons. Def worth the buy, and a lot of fun. You end up sinking hours into it, and then the sun rises!

The end game isn’t fleshed out yet, but no Diablo game has had a great end game at launch. Every one has required an expansion to get to a much better end game, this’ll be no different.

But since you’re use to MH titles - which operate mostly the same, that won’t be an issue. Think MHR Vs MHRSB, or MHGen Vs MHGU
