Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Details Free Title Update 3, Launching Next Week

...Was expecting a large final boss-type monster here...don't tell me the expansion is going to be lacking in those as well...Was really hoping to see more returning final bosses after seeing what they did with Fatalis and Alatreon in Iceborne. (even though Alatreon sucked with the stupid multiplayer focus thing and whatever new mechanic he was using there...) Plus IB also got the ability to actually fight Kulve and a new elder Safi. (again, multiplayer focused so I never bothered, but still...)

Well...at least I'll get to see what changes Chaotic Gore gets here.

@Joeynator3000 content wise the last 3 title updates of Sunbreak are fine.

But monster wise I found the title updates, compared to Iceborne very lacklustre.

And that kills my excitement for the Sunbreak title updates, even while the expansion itself is solid.

I don't understand the complaint that much. Iceborn had even new monsters and not only sub/rare because it need them! Iceborn have 48 unique monsters, while Sunbreak have 50, so, even without adding new/returning/not sub monsters, it already have more than Iceborn, while IB without updates only had 44. So every sub addition (and when they are so different like Violet Mizutsune, I don't really see a problem) is a plus.
That said, leaks clearly confirm at least a couple if new/returning/not sub monsters (as the updated roadmap).

@SilverM the problem is not the amount of monsters compared to Iceborne (by that logic, GU it’s amount and variety wins) but the lack of variety.

Before I start, on it’s own Sunbreak is a solid expansion, but all title updates gave us variants only and nothing really new (new means a returning monster that was not in the game at all, not a variant of a monster already in the game)

Iceborne did that better, it mixed variants with returning monsters and even added new gameplay with ones like Safijiva.

Again Sunbreak itself is not at issue here nor is the amount of monsters, but getting variants only is killing the excitement for some, and that in a game that has a setting that begs for returning monsters (some monsters would fit perfectly in the japanese and medival setting of Rise and Sunbreak)

My personal problem is that people that don’t understand it, often but not always refuse to see the issue, they think people hate on the content but that is not it.

As for this update, I LOVE THE HECK OUT OF CHAOTIC GORE MAGALA… but the stuff I mentioned above already killed my excitement enough to not really care, while otherwise I really would have.

@Rayquaza2510 I'm still going to love the new update like the others, but yeah...when the roadmap gave us a big "?" instead of shadows made me think we were finally getting a huge returning monster. Why did they randomly do this for a variant that's not even new...yet we got teases for a NEW rare species and a subspecies that was never released in the west or the main series before?

sighs I was really expecting Amatsu, or one of the Mohrans, or something...and was hoping that the final update could be Dalamdur but I'm even doubting that monster will return now...

It's good that they're constantly updating the game but I also understand the complaints of them just added variants instead of new monsters.

New variants are nice, but I'm not going to find it fun to grind all the way to MR140 just to be able to try out Risen Teostra.

@Rayquaza2510 well, I'm the first who would like new/returning monsters more, but what I meant is that Iceborn updates were better just because it need to be, since before any update had less variety than sunbreak (always without updates). Like, Sunbreak have already a great variety of monsters (it even have more monsters classes), while Iceborn did not, and needed something like Rajang, who added a monster of a class that didn't have yet (while Sunbreak couldnt since already have all of them).

@Joeynator3000 fingers crossed man, let's hope for the best. We still have more updates so maybe we'll be lucky and they'll deliver.

Yeah, I love MHRise and Sunbreak is a fine expansion, but these updates are not grabbing me the way Iceborne's did. Still glad I bought it and all, but the interest drained a bit faster this time. I don't know, maybe we're just spoiled.
