Rascyc posted:So many new players quit the game as soon as they touch the controls tbh, and I'm glad they haven't compromised on that design. If anything the moveset thing in the corner of the screen seems to be a game changer for some people I know. Honestly the biggest problem I have with the control scheme is just where the attack buttons are. Having them on the up and right face buttons (Triangle/Circle or X/A) is so weird to me. I'm used to either left and up (Square/Triangle on a Dualshock) or shoulder buttons like in Dark Souls. It finally clicked during the beta weekends, though, and now I have no problem with it at all. What's weird is that, even though I can cycle through items with the d-pad now, I actually started holding L1 and cycling through with Square/Circle without even thinking about it, even though I always found that awkward in the 3DS ones. It's like as soon as one aspect of MH controls clicked, everything else just fell into place. The radial menu is super great, though. Really glad they added that.

If anything, it's more likely that MHW will be on fire and DBZF will be fine. Capcom and online game launch days do not have a good history.

Isn't Monster Hunter mostly peer-to-peer, though? Did Capcom spring for dedicated servers? I suppose the matchmaking server could be on fire.

Even if the online is completely unplayable, at least MonHun is arguably just as great offline as online.

Capcom's decision making over the last decade has been a raging trashfire so I wouldn't be shocked if the servers went down for some idiotic reason at launch. There's also a fairly good chance World is the end of Monster Hunter considering how absurd their sales expectations are and how many eggs they put into its basket.

Ok, changing the subject a bit. So there's a lot of hype about World obviously. What's the vibe? Does it look like it's going to be an amazing game, or does it look like it's going to be an amazing game for fans of the monster hunter series? Because i sort of bounced off of 3 hard a few years ago.

ChrisBTY posted:Ok, changing the subject a bit. They have gone leaps and bounds toward making the game extra accessible, beautiful, and functional. Everyone in this thread is super super pumped for it. But it's still very much MoHun, and it matters why you bounced off of Tri. There's still no hard lock, still item management, still %-based drops needed for crafting even low-level gear, still needing to cook your raw meat in the wild. The weapons you played in Tri are still here, and still mostly do the same things. What most of us consider HUGE weapon QoL changes, a person who didn't already spend 200 hours with a weapon would consider subtle or maybe not even notice (eg, the lance move out of the guard poke or the GS shoulder tackle). This is still the game where crafting the fire switch axe means breaking Qurupeco's nose several times in a row for a 1/5 chance at his beak to drop.

But I've played the World demos/beta weekends and it really clicked this time. Controlling it with a real controller with easier camera control and the big, open environments really help me enjoy the game. Maybe I won't end up liking the core hunt monster -> craft new gear -> hunt bigger monster loop, but the core gameplay feels fantastic to me as someone who's never really gotten into it before.

ChrisBTY posted:Ok, changing the subject a bit. It's Monster Hunter on a controller that doesn't cause extreme pain to my hands and actually has enough buttons and sticks to do what the game needs to do. That's all I've ever wanted. That said, MH is very much like the Souls/Bloodborne series - you have to go into them knowing the first few hours are going to be rough and you have learning to do, but very rewarding if you get invested. My first real MH experience was the 4U demo, and it was awful. But I preserved and bought the game, read a lot of tutorials, and found my favorite weapon that clicked with me (hammer) and now I'm a convert. Will this be the game that magically makes MH a mainstream series? Who knows for sure, but they've certainly (finally) made amazing efforts to make it more accessible without sacrificing depth. And we live in a world where the Souls games are incredibly popular, so anything is possible. Rotten Red Rod fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Jan 15, 2018 |

Huh, it only shows Teostra and Nergigante clashing like we saw before, while Kushala gets tossed. I wonder if my idea I had is going to be right, that in fights Kushala will have the edge over Teostra (winds can blow away its blast dust and maybe even its fire), Teostra will beat Nergigante (explosions can hurt it through and blast off its spikes), and Nergigante will beat Kushala (just runs through and slams it down despite its wind and armor). I like the idea; it has a nice balance to it. Alternatively, we're just going to get Nergigante clowning all the old monsters.

Harrow posted:What part made you bounce off? I think you'll be fine, as the "craft gear to hunt bigger monsters" aspect is oversold a bit. I've always just crafted the gear that either a) falls off the monsters I like hunting or b) if i get one of the lucky rare drops I might hunt that monster a couple more times to make something out of it. I really enjoy fighting brute wyverns and usually end up with all those sets just for running the fights for fun. One of the best armor sets starting off is typically just made of mining materials. The only real gearcheck in the game is sharpness on your weapon, and unless you're bouncing off the monster every single hit, losing to the timer is still not your gear's fault.

Sounds like there's going to be a lot of exploring the levels to fill out your map and meeting NPCs and stuff in this one so even if the servers are on fire I figure there'll be plenty to do.

Does this actually imply servers, or does it just imply region free matchmaking, though? I highly doubt developers are precise when talking about things like this to journalists.

It's "matchmaking" servers. Using that term loosely, mind you, since a server browser isn't really matchmaking. The servers host lobby lists, serve up the current event quests, and so on. Gameplay is P2P. Hubs might be server based this time, too, given the significantly higher player count and ties to the guild system.

Yeah, my primary point was just that a dev saying the word "servers" in an interview never really implies dedicated servers unless they very specifically say "yes, dedicated servers".

I like the idea; it has a nice balance to it. It's just different portions of the clash, we don't see what the end of the Teo/Nerg one looks like while we're viewing the end of the Kushala/Nerg one. Given Nergigante's theme name and title (Fangs that Threaten Elder Dragons/Extinction Dragon) it's a safe assumption that he's slightly advantaged in the "regular" Elder matchups like Teo/Kushala/Kirin etc. Wouldn't give him much of a chance vs Alatreon but Alatreon will probably be sectioned off in his own arena due to his size so he probably doesn't clash with other monsters. That being said, Nerg shows up in the Zorah fight to some extent (whether it's cutscene only or what we have no idea) so who knows. Norns posted:Does the game even have dedicated servers?

Yeah, it's going to beat up all the non-Alatreon/Fatalis-level Elder Dragons then, probably. (Who I really hope get to leave their bespoke arenas finally, specifically because I want to see them wrecking other monsters. I know it's not likely, but I would love to see Alatreon just annihilating Kirin and Teostra and such. Or even just regular monsters. It's the first time it's possible, so let's see the Living Natural Disaster really wrecking some havoc.) I wonder how the Kushala and Teostra clashes will go, then. My other thoughts there, if they didn't balance things, were that it wouldn't be set to always go one way like the others seem to; Gaijin Hunter mentioned the two having a sort of "rivalry", so if one always beats the other that will kind of settle that, or at least tilt it a particular way.
