I still found myself trying to wirefall after being hit in World, or trying to silkbind with attacks that didn't exist.

But it did get easier the more we played. It's odd though, because when World released it felt incredibly fast and mobile compared to previous games. And now going back it felt slow and sluggish... At least at first. Once you adjust it feels great again.

Only thing I truly missed was the palamutes. I can get used to no wirebugs again. But having to slowly run across the map everywhere, that kinda sucks.

What do you think- you predict we'll get palamutes in MH6? Or go back to running around on foot?

@JaxonH I'm not sure if they added this into World after you stopped playing but, eventually we'll be able to unlock the ability to call one of the local small monsters and ride them just like what would eventually become palamutes!
I believe your palico has to learn how to do it by communicating with the local grimalkynes (had to look up that name, they're the local wild felynes) in each area. So for example in the forest map you can call on and ride around on Jagras.

I imagine the next major title will have something similar!

If you add me, I need to at least know you or I won't add you back.

Ah, I do remember that now, actually. I don't recall if I ever leveled up my palico far enough to use it, but I remember my brother riding a jagras. You didn't have direct control, but you could pin the map and have them take you there.

Definitely better than nothing, that's for sure. And it always cracked me up seeing a hunter ride a jagras 😀

We've gotta play more World. I needed a break today, but just talking about it is making me want to dive back in. I'll be free around 5:30pm your time Tue-Fri. Can squeeze in an hour each day or something.

Played some Rise on PC with a friend for the first time in a few months. Just forgot how fun this game is, moment to moment.

We both chose to start learning new weapons based upon the stuff that is coming to them in Sunbreak, he committed to the Charge Blade straight away, whereas I bounced around a bit. Tried the bow for a bit, found the playstyle very boring. Tried the lance for a bit and was surprised by how awkward the weapon is to use, given how simple it is in terms of inputs.

Landed on the dual blades in the end, and found myself having a lot of fun. While Rise did a lot of work to streamline the moment to moment gameplay, most weapons are still a lot more complicated than your usual melee title, so the DBs are quite nice response. They look flashy, but are very simple to use, with no lengthy combos or sequences to unlock the true power of the weapon or whatever.

When I first used them, I think I bounced off, because I thought I had to stay in demon mode all the time, which you do, but you can't manage your demon mode properly, if you just run in and immediately go into demon mode as soon as the fight starts. Treating them as a snowball made them way less frustrating to manage.

You'll do maybe the first quarter of the fight without going into demon mode at all, but once you get that first knock down and the fatigue on the monster starts building up, the general cadence of the fight makes it easy to find a rhythm which means you are basically always in demon or arch demon mode, making use of the blade dance and the exploding kunai thing with each knock down, or moment where the monster stops and thinks about their life, to make sure you are always topped up. It really helps if you make use of sets like Anjanath's for focus and marathon runner, too. It just all feels very well tuned.

Admittedly, the aerial, high speed, beyblade playstyle is not the one I am using. I chose to use the grounded, slower, Rush Fury style instead. It seemed more complicated to pick the other style.

Just beat the true final boss. That was rather... nuts. Even with a full crew each time, it took three attempts.

I've gotta say, this game is super well-optimized for Switch. There are so many particle effects, explosions, moving pieces, etc. in that fight near the end, and not once did I feel the framerate seize up, the resolution dip, etc. Now, that was docked. Maybe it's a little hairier in handheld mode. But, overall, it's an absolutely terrific showing on the system.

@Ralizah
It's just as impressive in handheld, actually. This game is just, like you said, really well optimized.

When you say you beat the true final boss, are you referring to All-Mother Narwa? Or Valstrax?

....Well, decided to look at a video talking about the official Insect Glaive clip Capcom released not too long ago. I kinda figured this was click-bait. But...I guess that Tetranadon clip does look like the 2nd gen Jungle, and Capcom did already say that there would be MULTIPLE new locales...

Chances are if it is true then maybe the last main trailer will fully reveal it, I do wonder if we're still getting the Peaks or not, though. But yeah, more new returning maps, gimme more! lol

@Joeynator3000
Hmm...

I'm not entirely convinced, but I will concede the possibility.

I think it could still be the new area since they said it had different biomes and a forest area is part of it. On the other hand, I can't recall if there were tropical ferns shown in the previous footage, or if it was a more temperate climate.

It would make sense. I always expected at least 1 more map, and the art of other maps by Rhondine would line up with Forest being one of them. But if that's true, what were the other pictures hanging there? Perhaps that could shed some light on its feasibility.

The one thing that makes me think it may not be the forest is the fact we already have Flooded Forest. And, I know they're not the same, or even from the same generation of games, but still... Then again, all the biomes are covered so it may be inevitable that additional maps seem somewhat similar in theme to existing maps.

Idk. We'll find out soon enough I guess.

I figured we would be getting more than just the Citadel due to the maps in Rise being smaller compared to World's/IB's. Also yeah they did say MULTIPLE locales, so, you know...

But yeah, like I said the icy area in the Citadel made me thing the 3rd gen's Tundra was returning, so, I dunno. I hope it's the Jungle, just seeing more old maps remade like this. I enjoyed going through the Flooded Forest and ESPECIALLY the Sandy Plains (it was my favorite map in 3/3U, leave me alone. xD) in Rise and seeing what's changed and comparing it to the original. xp

EDIT: Oh yeah, didn't catch you bringing up the Forest...I mean, they would be calling it Verdant Hills now, but whatever. Actually, would love to see another 1st gen map in general.

When Generations came out, we basically got a port of Forest, and the 4th gen version of the 1st Desert. Was hoping to see more in GU, but, we just got more 2nd gen maps. >.<

I never got that far in Unite, couldn't stay into the game, so I barely know about the other 1st gen maps.

@Joeynator3000
You're thinking of Forest and Hills, I believe. But I think they were actually referring to the Jungle map, due to the Area 10 by itself at the top of the map with a small land bridge connecting it to the rest of the map.

@JaxonH ....Er, I'm confused, I know the video was talking about the Jungle, bridge has nothing to do with it since that's the Citadel. He's talking about the clips involving Tetranadon. Those areas look like 5 and 9 from the Jungle.

Right.

You mentioned Verdant Hills though, which is a separate map. That confused me because I was under the impression he was referring to the Jungle, which it seems you agree he was.

You said Forest, I figured you were talking about the Forest and Hills possibly returning...I dunno, I also get confused easily.

Whatever, Jungle may be returning, that's my point. xD

@JaxonH I'd expect as much, considering my experience with the game in handheld mode has always been positive.

I mean Allmother Narwa. AFAIK that was the final story boss of the game.

Doing some of the event quests now. Apex Rathian is brutal. Even with fully upgraded high rank Tigrex armor, the passive boosts from Armor Talon/Armor Charm, and using Mega Armorskin, and of course the boosts from eating, it can still kill me in one hit with one of its more powerful attacks.

Just wait til you fight the Emergency Apex monster Quests.

@JaxonH Ah, the quest name was Apex Rathian Emergency. Is this an even more powerful version of that monster, then?
