Topic: Monster Hunter Rise

I have quite literally finished every hub quest in the game and I am still not HR 60. I haven't finished the solo quests or all the rampages, as I have little interest in either, plus I haven't done all of the events because I don't care about stickers.

I just don't agree with grinding the same quests over and over again to hit an arbitrary number. If that means I bought the "wrong game", then I can only laugh.

Am I the only one who really wants MHR and xenoblade to do a Collab event where you unlock a Manado great sword

Sunbreak baby! Looks amazing. Rondine's kingdom will almost certainly play a big role in the new locale.

• Hunters in Rondine's kingdom are called Knights
• Crossover time: Castlevania, Dark Souls, ???

...Still feels weird that the base game is ending it with Valstrax. Was hoping we would qat least get Amatsu...or Dalamadur...or something. :c

@Joeynator3000 Rise already has 40+ large monsters.

IMO the biggest disservice was dumping most of the new monsters into 1-3 star quests, quickly brushed past and forgotten. They all need Apex variants with end-game gear upgrades.

@Ulysses I mean, I know it has a decent amount of monsters, but...you'd think the title updates would keep coming for a bit longer until it got closer to the expansion's release. What did World end on before Iceborne anyways?

Anyways yeah, the end game stuff is just...weak, and most of the events are just..."meh". I'm still hoping for an event quest where we can fight Ibushi and Narwa at the same time, or maybe some perma rage monsters...or over exaggerated sized monsters. Like, imagine fighting a powered-up massive Aknosom or something. lol

I kinda figured a sort of Iceborne style round out was coming for Rise but I expected it to coincide with the PC release but instead it looks like things are being staggered even further. Switch owners get a meaty expansion in the summer, while PC players are still playing base Rise and then I guess PC owners will need to wait a few months for the expansion like they did with Iceborne?

I always fully intended to double dip as while I think Rise is a fun game, the performance on the Switch just really isn't great. And that isn't even the Switch's fault, because we've seen what the Switch is capable of, Rise just doesn't seem properly optimised to make the most out of the Switch's hardware.

However, I am glad I now know about this expansion, as I'll probably pick up this expansion on my Switch next year and then wait until late 2023 to double dip, when some sort of complete edition exists for Rise on PC probably at a discount.

@Pizzamorg My guess is the PC version will release in the spring, and they'll hit the ground running with the launch version already at 3.0 or something. That way, the Sunbreak expansion releases simultaneously for both platforms.

My big dream however is cross play, which I really hope happens. PC players will be naturally more chatty with keyboards handy than Switch players.

If it does release on PC at the same time, then excellent. I just know everything was always behind on PC with World. Don't see why that will change with Rise, given they are waiting a year to release it on PC.

I thought that the PC version was going to release in Summer of next year.

Yeah, it says Switch and PC Summer 2022. The point I am making is that Iceborne was released four months later on PC versus console. You could have four months between the two releases on Switch and PC and they could still both fall into the Summer 2022 window. I'm just not getting my hopes up they release on the same date.

Another Capcom Tweet said "early 2022" for PC for base Rise, but I can't find it now to link it.

Edit: Oh that right, I can't find it because it's right there on their Twitter profile bio! Lol

I figured they'd do something like Iceborne, where they package Sunbreak in with the base game, and sell that the day it releases on Steam.

Except Iceborne wasn't released on PC same time as it was console?

Like I say, if they release it all as one big package, day and date, that is a great thing. But there is so much toxicity in the MH community for setting expectations themselves and then getting mad when it doesn't happen. So I'm setting my expectation it won't happen and so if it does, I can be pleasantly surprised rather than bitter that they didn't do something they never said they would.

@Joeynator3000 Is it me or is the new gen MH fanbase really spoiled, All I see is "Finally that took forever" Dude that was the fastest G ranked was shown off, But nope, all They do is complain about the lack of Monsters and how They need another reason to play.

I do think it's a shame Rise didn't better use the content it did have and while people look at Guiding Lands as a good example of an end game, I think we still have a long way to go. However, that being said, I think Monster Hunter fans are some of the most toxic fans out there. At least the most vocal of them.

@Pizzamorg I don't think it was always this way, There was a time were they were nice, They wouldn't complain much, they would teach ya what you need to know, now its just a bunch of ***** New idiot that think since they payed 60$ they need updates all over the place, But they wont tell you there more then willing to pay a 100+$ for a Melee weapon in a video game.

@Snatcher Yeah, but at the same time, compared to other past base games...Rise is REALLY barebones with endgame content.

@Joeynator3000 Thats true.But I think this DLC will be well worth the wait, not like it would have mattered bc they have complained anyway.

Eh, I just still feel like it was weird to end the title updates on Valstrax before the expansion.
