@JustMe Fair enough. Once Magnamalo's assumingly kicked me enough, I'll return to Great Izuchi for a while to practice more Wirebug and the 'item use mechanics' (i.e. the circle and the other one that's not L + Y/A).

A little autumn-obsessed, if you ask me.

Hi, I'm a monster hunter. Okey, I've risen. What do you want me to do now?

And now I just got an email from Gamestop saying my "amiibo" have been delayed, even though I haven't ordered any monster hunter amiibo.

Upon checking the order number they're talking about the pro controller. Pretty crappy but at least it isn't the MH Switch.

Yeah so about that.

The MH Switch is also delayed. Even though I paid extra for day 1 shipping. Neat

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

@Snatcher It's called "trying to look at the positives"

Ultimately the estimated delay is just 4 days so it's not THAT long, it's just really disappointing when this is easily my most anticipated game of the year so I'm whining about it.

@TeeJay Not saying you can't I would to if One of my games got a delay, just saying you kinda jinxed yourself, but looking at the positives at least you can play the demo to hold you over. (I did mean it when I said sorry tho)

I'll probably end up getting a physical copy, and if it gets delayed, then it's really no big deal. Especially since I have another game I'm trying to beat before I play anything else.

It is indeed.

That’s not to say they can’t still screw it up, but ya. False alarm. It’s too early to get delays anyways. Product won’t even arrive in their store and warehouse until the week after next. Now. If we get emails the week of, like 2 days before release? Then it’s probably real. But I suspect that won’t be the case.

You are getting the game digitally with the MH console, right? So if the console is delayed, the game is delayed? Could always buy physical, play for a week, then sell on eBay for $50 Like New, and after fees, it’d be like paying $15 for a rental. Pricy, but maybe worth admission for launch week.

@JaxonH Yes I'm getting it digitally with the MH console, but if there's a delay, I'll just suck it up and wait a few days rather than go through all that, haha. It would suck but it's not like I'll die without it for a few days.

Magnamalo sure is tough in the demo. I'm not going to be able to beat it in the strict 15 minute time limit. Even without the timer, those 1 or 2 hit KOs sure are brutal.

That intense fight has me eager to play the full game now. Can't wait for it.

I love how the demo fight of Magna is so well designed. He will one shot you unless you utilize the spiribirds to buff health, so it’s smart gameplay design that is already teaching the player that you need to use the petalace mechanic.

And the endemic life, as blast toads are an automatic knockdown, and elemental blights do all kinds of things to make the fight easier.

The problem is, the 4 minutes you spend gathering spiribirds along the way is 4 fewer minutes you have to kill him. And there’s just not enough time. So you almost have to run straight to Magna and manage to not get hit by any of his big attacks (or even medium attacks), and manage to maintain consistently high damage output the entire fight. Very few have beaten this quest. Even Capcom’s own community manager said he can’t beat the quest.

His fight is so good. I don’t think I’ve seen a monster with such a large arsenal and wide diversity of move sets before. Compared to Rathian in the demo that only ever does tail flips, charges and tail spins, it feels very organic.

I'm in love with how great this game looks and how well it runs. It shows what is possible when developers take their time to do a proper job on the Switch.

Magnamalo's power in the demo helps it to look cool, yes, but I'm going to keep in mind that it was intentionally overtuned to seem this way. Sure it's going to be tough in the actual game too but between eating, endemic life buffs and armorskins and whatnot that you'll be able to bring to the fight, PLUS the actual armor you'll have being whatever you want it to be, AND the time limit being 50 minutes instead of 15, I have no doubts the the encounter in the game itself isn't going to be nearly this ridiculous.

Not been a massive fan of the Demo but I still buckled and pre ordered the collectors edition so I have something new to play on the switch, the Amiibo looks pretty cool but would have preferred a proper statue like Nerg from the world collection.

Honestly, I'm just waiting for the full game, since the Demo's aren't usually that great in terms of what they have to offer, and I like playing with characters I create rather than pre-made characters with pre-made weapons.

@Mr-Fuggles777
I would’ve liked a nice statue too, but they never seem to do big expensive CE’s for Nintendo platforms. At least it’s way cheaper, and amiibo are useful and collectible. Even the Nergigante (and Velkhena from Iceborn JP release) statue looks pretty cheap compared to the actual Creator’s models, particularly when you compare to the Nergigante creator’s model. I had to display the collector edition figure on a separate shelf just because it looks so bad by comparison being in close proximity.

@JaxonH I might swap it for the standard edition and will grab the Amiibo content on an NFC chip as im not interested in the figure.
Agree with you that the MHW CE statue wasn't the best either.
