@ToadBrigade
Welcome, new hunter!

Monster Hunter is like no other game out there.

been playing Generations Ultimate all day earlier to keep me entertained until March 2021.

G Rank 4 star quests is hard to get other people online to help out.

Are other people too scared of frikkin Rajangs and capturing a diablos?

@urrutiap I would help you but I have not gotten the game yet.

More new footage (clarity sucks because it came from twitter), this time showing the wirebug recoveries, known as wirefalls

Also, a good compilation of all the social media clips shared thus far, with some BANGER music from Monster Hunter Frontier G

Greatsword Gameplay

Looks like a fun weapon to use overall. I like melee attacking for the most part and prefer it over ranged combat. I'll definitely be trying this one out.

And I still see no constant roaring or monsters running away...heh. lol

@Tyranexx
Great sword requires a little more knowledge about the monsters move set, or at least, a little experience with the great sword move set, just because there’s so much wind up and animation built into the attacks. You really have to commit to each move. As you can see in the video, they charge up for a Level 3 Greatsword attack and get punished hard during the charge. You’ll also notice after that new wirebug move flying through the air with an attack at the end, the sword is stuck in the ground for a moment afterward and you can’t move.

Not to put down Greatsword. I’m even thinking about going a Greatsword run after seeing this video. The new augmented move set is killer. But know what you’re getting into with the heavier weapons (great sword, hammer and hunting horn). They do crazy damage but put you at more risk if you don’t know what you’re doing.

@JaxonH Ah, I wondered about that from watching the video; the trade-off for crazy damage is more downtime/exposure. Not too different from some games I've played, but it seems like one needs to practice quite a bit before becoming proficient with this weapon.

New, different gameplay out for great sword with better quality video.

Yeah so far I'm seeing...eh, "normal" monster ai and stuff in these videos.

I am trying to get back into World with the PS4 version, and, yeah...monster still run away constantly. Also not too long ago I encountered Legiana that decided to roar like 3 or 4 times in a row...seriously...why? >.<

It's been so long since I really played a MH game. Since Generations came out, basically. I'm super ready for this new one. I'll probably mostly play it on my TV with a Pro Controller, but I also have my Split Pad Pro to more easily facilitate monster hunting action on the go.

First look at the character creator and palico/palamute creation.

@Ralizah
You know this game has gyro aiming, right? I believe split pad pro doesn’t have gyro. Then again, you probably won’t need it unless you’re playing as a gunner.

@JaxonH Yeah, I'm not expecting to need gyro for the melee weapons. If I do eventually try out a ranged weapon, I'll play with a grip instead for that sweet motion goodness.

Love it

...So apparently this game is getting a PC version...? Same with Stories 2...I dunno. Whatever, still getting the Switch version. But I hope they still do some crazy Nintendo collab events though.

Just imagine hunting Ridley in this game, or something.

Forget Ridley, I'd like to see what would happen if we were to hunt the Lynels or Guardians from BotW.

@Joeynator3000
It’s not 100% for sure. Leaked documents were from 2018 and a lot of those could’ve changed since then, though personally I do believe it. Seems to be the trend nowadays for virtually every PS/Xbox/NSW 3rd party exclusive. I think it’s a good thing because it makes the game more financially viable. Not that it wouldn’t have held its own as a pure exclusive, but adding PC just ensures it maximizes revenue, and that will increase the likelihood of other games being developed with Switch in mind without the need to prioritize PS/Xbox. Basically, including PC can increase likelihood of more Switch exclusive games (console exclusive, anyways) that are actually designed with the system in mind and not just downported from the power consoles (or not ported at all).

But ya, I’m pretty sure we’ll get plenty of collab content.

Yeah whatever happens, just...give me Ridley. TwT
(and Meta-Ridley if he gets a variant in the expansion or something, lol)

Arreks goes over new moves in Monster Hunter Rise, at least, all the ones we've seen thus far
