I should have never doubted Sunbreak. I was nervous with the review embargo lifting like within 24 hours of the release, as that is usually a bad sign. However, it is currently sat at a 90 on PC, making it one of the highest rated games of the year. Now I can just let go and launch into full hype frenzy.

Ya, it's a new subspecies (or variant, or whatever you call it).
It has longer arm blades, permanently in hellfire the entire fight, and likely has new moves.

God so loved the world He sent His only Son- whoever believes on Him has eternal life. Unless you believe, you will die in your sins. Whoever believes, rivers of living water flow within them. John
it does have new moves, anyways yeah most variants are basically powered-up versions of the normal version that seem to be stuck in rage, then they have their own rage mode as well.

Keep it PG-13-ish.
Tried out the Sunbreak demo so I could get the bonus items in the actual game. Switch skill swap should be pretty useful on long sword. I should check out the hunting horn and see if they added anything decent to that.
The Astalos fight was pretty cool, although I think I'm gonna leave the Malzeno fight for the full game.
I only fought demo Malzeno once, I'm not gonna bother since flagship fights in demos were always buffed up unfairly on top of the 15 time limit and "meh" equipment.

I don't typically play MH online on day one so I wouldn't know. Usually I'm just concentrated on doing the single player quests for the first week or so.
If you add me, I need to at least know you or I won't add you back.
I usually just stay offline in general...>.<
Besides World/IB...hated that some monsters/quests basically required multiplayer. Or most of them is a living nightmare to do alone, and near impossible. >_>

It's past midnight and I didn't get a Switch notification saying the expansion is ready to play, maybe Capcom plans to release it in the afternoon (if I recall correctly they did that with some of the Mega Man games).
If it's going for a midnight release in EST it still has another 4 hours and 16 minutes as of this post.
So some spoiler free reviews and discussions are out now and here's some new stuff I learned:
There's still no investigation system or end game grind. You finish your quests and that's that, just like base Rise.
Rampage slots are basically just a way to gem in rampage skills without having to do rampages, as there are none in Sunbreak.
Master Rank is still easier in this game than previous games, though it seems things start ramping up more in the post game.
Palicoes can teach skills to other Palicoes now!
You now have some sort of temporary fast travel point you can use once in a hunt and that's it.
There's no gathering hub. At all. All
online stuff is taken care of in Elgato.
The new "tempered" equivalent in Sunbreak (I'm assuming it's the Afflicted that the Capcom Twitter account revealed) isn't just ramped up damage numbers like tempered were. Instead the monsters have massively boosted SPEED. imo a very fitting version of this kind of thing since we're so much faster now in general. Monsters can easily combo you to death in those hunts.
@TeeJay Good things to know, I'll temper my expectations then. Still great to have the new content with what is already shown, and not expect a bunch of surprises.
From what I've heard the powered-up monsters this time are more like hybrids of Hypers and Frenzied/4th gen Apex monsters (Bloodblight instead of Frenzy, of course). Seems like they'll have some unique moves and stuff, too...?
I'm so mad lol. Usually I can use phone hotspot internet to unlock new games at work but I hadn't considered that this wouldn't predownload because it's DLC. Gonna wrap up work SUPER early tonight and go straight home.
If you add me, I need to at least know you or I won't add you back.
