Might not be the place but, I just wanted to vent real quick. My little sibling deleted my mh world save, and yes I reverted my ps5 back to a week, and it turns out, it’s been deleted for about that time and I just noticed, I’m vary, vary disappointed, as I had so, so much content on there, that I will never get back, I mean maybe the final boss of ice borne is on my ps4 safe, but everything I did on the other island? Grinding the layers armor, rajang, it’s all gone, I’m pretty bummed about it, as it’s five years worth of content, at least I can get somewhat of it back with the ps4 save, but I had everything, it was perfect, everything I wanted, the amor i finally wanted, so yeah, that’s what I’m posting here, I know it’s the way of the gamer to lose a save file, but, that file meant a lot to me, and it’s gone ):

Yeah due to how I sometimes hyper focus on something, I’m going to be bothered by this for like a week and a half, if even then I heal ):

Going through the base game again over on PS5. I used to be a hammer main but this time around I'm giving the hunting horn a go. Very cool. I'm breakdancing all day er day with the ZR -> A combo loop. Feels good.

Twenty-five hours deep, just captured low rank hub quest Magnamalo.

How much longer until World 2? That announcement is going to be hype.

100 hours deep, just reached HR 20.

Layered armor, talisman gambling...let the endgame begin.

130 hours deep, reached MR 3 over the past weekend. Looking forward to fighting a MR 4 Tigrex to gain access to a doot deco to boost the range on my hunting horn melodies. I've been happy with sonic barrier spamming in echo mode. Just trying to isolate a hunting horn with health recover large to aid my online peeps better.

This is why I keep coming back to the game and why monster hunter is such a great franchise!

The fact that the game is hitting these kind of number without updates just proves monster hunter should never go live service, as much as some people think it does. And yes I know it’s because of monster hunter wilds but come on this is still crazy.

250 hours into this game makes me hope that wirebugs are not brought over into Wilds. The ability of endgame monsters to attack four, five, six times in a row with no respite is because the developers had to do something to counter wirebugs. I love the hunting horn, but against monsters with that number of attack there's just no escape.

@Snatcher
Its cause Asmondgold streamed it and he has massive viewership, and when that started increasing interest all the MH youtubers jumped on the train and started churning out videos to capitalize on it.

@Magician
I love wirebugs to death, but obviously they're not gonna be a permanent staple. Portable team always introduces one-game gimmicks. Wirebugs were NEVER going to be featured in any other MH ever again.

That said, Monster attacks are perfectly able to be avoided and countered with the tools you're given. And you can always lay on the ground same as any other MH game to leverage invincibility. Or wiredash back and to the side to get out of the way, rather than directly into another attack.

Which irritates me because I want Prowler Mode to return. T.T

@JaxonH

For about 98% of the monsters in the game, sure. But when you're laying on your back after eating a Primordial Malzeno's six-string wing attack with zero wirebug charges at your disposal, it's a difficult proposition. At that point it's neither a skill issue nor a knowledge issue, it's a design issue.

@Joeynator3000
I know you do bud 😀

@Magician
I mean, if you have no wirebugs it's because you spent them in a risk reward decision. And you will be punished if you don't keep at least 1 at all times to escape when needed.

Skill may not be relevant in that situation, but it's relevant in what led to being in that situation. It's end game Malzeno, it's gonna punish, ya know? And you can use farcasters, which if you're not, then you're not utilizing all the tools available to survive.

I know it can be frustrating taking a good combo sometimes, but you'll overcome. I believe in you!

Only thing I had issues with Primordial Malzeno was that heavy hitting beam attack that can't be blocked, that one always gets me. Anyways I like the monsters being way more aggressive in this game, because most of the time in World/IB, the monsters were just...slow. lol
(aside from the moments where it throws the freaking Rajangs at you or something. >_>)

I haven't touched this game in a while. Got to a fight with a crab in sunbreak, then sort of quit due to not enjoying the game that much. The monster variety in Rise just isn't.. great. I get why, given that they're having to remake monster assets from scratch for this gen, but Generations Ultimate has so much in terms of variety.

Variety is a lot better than what World did...where it was mostly Flying Wyverns, Brutes, and Fanged Wyverns (and normal Elder Dragons I guess, lol)

Here there's crabs, spiders, bears, monkeys, whatever the hell the Serpents are and Sunbreak's final boss. lol

@VoidofLight
Variety in Sunbreak is spectacular. I encourage you to keep playing. Sunbreak is soooo much better than base Rise. Great Sword, the clunkiest of weapons, became one of the funnest, most rewarding I've used to date. Switch skills with counters is so good.

Of course MHGU had more. It was a celebratory title that combined a decade of monsters into one game.

But Sunbreak absolutely smokes base Rise, smokes World, smokes Iceborn, it's fire. The monsters are easily the best in the series to date. From the Daimyo Hermitar and Shogun Ceanataur (did we get crabs in World? Heck no!), to Espinas and it's subspecies, Garangolm, Lunagaron, Malzeno and Primordial Malzeno, Astalos, Seregios, Gore Magala, Shagaru Magala, Seething Bazelguese, Lucent Nargacuga (one of my FAVES), Violent Mizutsune (one of THE best Monster fights in the series to date, absolutely PHENOMENAL), Velkhana and Amatsu...

Not to mention the monsters from base Rise like Chameleos and Almudron, etc that also got subspecies or variants and were unique to so many other hunts.

Can't compare 5th gen to old dated MH. They don't have 15 years of basic skeletons and assets and preprogrammed AI they can just copy/paste into the game to stack the roster. Yet I'd still take Sunbreak over MHGU any day, as the fights in Sunbreak are so much more exhilarating.

Ehh. Just not a fan of how modern MH relies a ton more on Subspecies. A lot of the monsters I really want to fight aren’t in Sunbreak or Rise. Monsters like Zamtrios and Tetsucabra. Rise’s tower defense mechanics also really bugged me, although I heard that those mechanics aren’t as prominent in sunbreak.

@Joeynator3000
Yes, Violet. Thank you

@VoidofLight
I mean, that's fair, but that's just a reality of 5th gen games. Neither World nor Rise will be able to match the variety of a celebratory entry that simply stood on the shoulders of 10 years worth of games recycling the same old maps and skeletons. There's realistic limits to what one dev team can create. In 15 years, we may get a celebratory title that has such variety once enough games have released with redone monsters. But I don't think it's fair to criticize a game for lacking variety of a celebratory title that had 10+ years of monster assets and AI to draw from. It's fair to want that, but it's not fair to realistically expect that. Which is why I never complained about World's roster lineup, and Rise, despite OBVIOUSLY not comparing to MHGU, is a MASSIVE improvement over World. So I'm actually impressed and satisified with the progress being made, understanding there's no magic wand they can wave to magically make 120 large monsters just appear out of thin air completely redesigned.

As for the Rampage, it was hit and miss for some. Just as the big elder dragon showdowns were hit and miss for some in World. Neither were my favorite, but I will say I enjoyed the rampages more than the elder dragon showdowns in World. But, I didn't grind them. I basically did the ones for story and moved on. They're a nice change of pace limiting them to just story required missions.

And you're right, Sunbreak didn't feature any rampages. Sunbreak is absolutely fire. Rise is good, don't get me wrong, but Sunbreak is by far my favorite MH to date. I learn a new weapon for each MH- it's tradition. And for SB I learned the Great Sword. The switch skills combined with counters turned the GS from a clunky bore fest into the most exciting weapon I've used in the series to date. HIGHLY recommend GS in Sunbreak, as well as Switch Axe.

Despite GU having Prowler mode, one of my favorite things to ever exist in Monster Hunter (also it had my possibly #1 favorite final boss, lol), I will admit, GU kinda went overboard. Way too many quests, monster roster was fine...as for maps, I feel like they focused too much on 2nd and 4th generation. We only got like, what...2 1st generation maps (one of them being a remake, dunno if I'd count that, lol)? And 2 3rd gen maps...just wished they were balanced out a bit. Hyper monsters were also kinda just...there...

Deviants started out underwhelming in the original Generations, most of them felt like the same monster but only bigger and more powerful. At least they got some new moves in GU's G-Rank, and some of the other Deviants were fine like Grimclaw.

Anyways yeah, dunno if GU is my #1 favorite...

@JaxonH Yeah, I get why they don't have as many monsters. They basically retooled everything with World, so they have to build up what they were missing. Just that it feels like a lot of the cooler monsters haven't made it over yet. That, and they're putting juvenile or infant versions of monsters that aren't in the game.. like Zamites being a thing despite Zamtrios not being in. Or having a child version of Tetsucabra without actually putting Tetsucabra in. Jagras without Great Jagras. Just sort of feels off seeing those monsters in Rise, but not actually having their main monsters in the game.

I'm still annoyed that Basarios is in the game but not Gravios.
