Topic: Monster Hunter Rise

Was everyone able to get the Velkhana Palamute layered armor? It looks like you're running around with an adorable wyvern mount!

Actually, since they've achieved this in Rise already, I hope we can tame our own wyvern pets in future games, taking them with us on quests and to use as mounts!

@Ulysses
I did

I haven't come back to Rise yet though because... Metroid Prime Remastered... Fire Emblem Engage... Hogwarts Legacy... too much game, quest timer only gives us so much!!

Risen Valstrax straight up triple carted my guy here. New hardest monster in the game?

@JaxonH Lololol his face on the third cart! His character probably wasn't registering as running away from Valstrax. I can already see so many triple carting on Risen Valstrax.

Actually, now that you mention it, I've been busy playing Pokemon for that Greninja 7 star Tera Raid event ending today. Sad that limited-time FOMO is what works on me, especially when it comes to Pokemon. I'm gonna find time to jump back in Monster Hunter soon though! I'm only MR104, so I have a lot of climbing to do before I unlock Risen Valstrax anyway.

@Ulysses
You're about where I am. I'm over 100 but not yet at Risen Chameleos.

It's just sooo hard with so many bangers releasing back to back to back to back. After beating Xenoblade 3, I went back to Sunbreak but got distracted by Nier Automata which I also beat, then got distracted by Bayonetta 3 which I also beat, then got distracted by Persona 5 Royal, Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope and Crisis Core: Final Fantast VII, which kept me occupied until Fire Emblem Engage, a game I'm neck deep in atm, even Persona 4 Golden had to go on the back burner, and now Metroid Prime Remastered releases? One of my favorite games ever made? With no end in sight- I tried Hogwarts Legacy on Deck and am also getting sucked into thar, and Octopath Traveler II releases soon... Kirby Return to Dreamland Remastered and Tales of Symphonia Remastered and Theatrhythm Final Bar Line are just gonna have to grab a number and get in line.

Probably won't get back to Sunbreak until Title Update 5, tbh, and even then, Zelda won't be far off. But I'm enjoying the bow and want to keep using it. The clack clack clack of arrows in a monster's face is just so rewarding and addictive.

I usually do a good job of ignoring fandoms these days but holy hell it's absolutely insane to me how toxic the monster hunter crowd has become. It's impossible to talk about anything without some kid coming for your throat and regurgitating whatever nonsense some of the so-called content creators blurt out or acting like whatever's the latest dumb trend within the community is the be all end all.

Oldschool etiquette is basically dead at this point, bless Capcom for giving us followers so I can completely shut off those..people at this point. I'm afraid if MH6 doesn't have that feature - and capcom's track record with keeping good features in the games is abysmal, unfortunately I might actually end up not playing one of these games for the first time since the series' inception (only exceptions being Japanese exclusive titles besides portable 3rd)

Just..had to write this down lol
I think most of y'all play with set groups anyway 🙃

Hey everyone. Can you please help me, as I don't know where to seek help? Thanks in advance

Just bought Sunbreak and downloaded the game again - had played for 100+ hours the base version. But now, after buying Sunbreak, the game is stuck in the "Magnamalo/Malzeno" splash screen right when booting it.

I've tried to delete the game and download it again, and also started a new game with a Mii profile that didn't have never played it, but it's the same problem.

Do you guys know what could be causing it, please? Thanks!

@BispoSnake
1) Are you on Switch or Steam? Lots of hang issues on PC but I've never heard of anyone having issues on Switch

2) Are you using a modded Switch or legit Switch?

3) Is the game installed on internal storage or micro SD? If micro SD, try moving to internal storage, or using a different micro SD card

4) Make sure you delete the game and re-download, not just archive it. Otherwise extra data isn't deleted.

@JaxonH Did you switch to PC? I never see you online to join your sessions.

@TowaHerschel7
No.

I just haven't been playing because I'm too swamped with other games. I think I mentioned this earlier but, I beat Xenoblade 3, moved on to Portal 1/2, moved on to Splatoon 3, then beat Nier Automata, moved on to Persona 5 Royal, beat Bayonetta 3, moved on to Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope, moved on to Crisis Core: FFVII, moved on to Fire Emblem Engage (which I'm about 70% done with), put Persona 4 Golden on the back burner and am now heavily invested in Metroid Prime Remastered, and also was playing some Theatrhythm Final Bar Line today, and recently started Hogwarts Legacy on Steam Deck.

And next week we get Octopath Traveler II, Kirby Return to Dreamland and Tales of Symphonia Remastered. It just... it doesn't let up.

I decided to wait until Title Update 5 to even attempt to get back into Sunbreak, as I just don't have time right now.

It sounds weird maybe, but the Monster Hunter fandom is really cliquey in my experience and like with any community you have your sweats who have to be the loudest in every conversation who tell you to play a certain way because a YouTuber told them it was the most optimal way.

However, I tend to find if you find individual communities who are passionate about a specific weapon, those people are usually really awesome. I got into the Lance while playing Sunbreak because I found the difficulty spikes so brutally oppressive and the Lance really gave me a way to even foot with a lot of the Monsters I was struggling on, and I encountered such a dedicated, helpful community of people who just play Lance day in and day out when looking around online.

I dunno if it is because Lance isn't really a "meta" weapon, but everyone I found just loved having a chance to talk about their favourite weapon. I find the same with the Hunting Horn, as long as you aren't like actively ***** at using it and knocking people out of their combos (or do what I did and use that Malo horn which basically removes the animations from when you get hit by a Monster, so no one realises they are almost dead 😂), people are usually super appreciative of you coming along and giving them buffs and will take the time to show that appreciation.
