My local mom and pop got the game a day early, can confirm it's extremely good. It runs and looks really great considering the Switch's lack of power. Between this and World the MH team can pull off some serious voodoo.

I only played the demo a bit, is the consensus now that HH was overtuned? I was planning on maining it for multi but I've already wound up in a lot of groups with multiple HH so...maybe not.

The release of Rise spurred me to finally start Generations Ultimate. In World I largely used the insect glaive and the switch axe so I want to try something new here and have started with gunlance and adept style assuming it's a tanky defensive setup offering big returns on offense. Is that about right? And anything I should know before playing that'll spare me some grief? I remember reading World cut off the jank that was part of the series till that point.

I did the same thing, and the different styles were extremely lackluster to me coming from world, but there's a shining beacon to guide your way: prowler mode.

Go to the palico ranch asap, hire some palicos, and just be a cat for the whole game. It helped to level up a support cat first so that I could get traps, if you hunt khezu with that support cat, it'll unlock shock traps and tranq bombs are just a basic action when a monster is trapped, no need to bring items.

Gaijin hunter did a bunch of videos on playing through GU with just cats, and playing in prowler confirmed to me something that I realized towards the end of world: the palico is a much better hunter than you are. Just throw boomerangs and run circles around people with your weapon unsheathed.

I went through the palico ranch just before bed and didn't pick up on what a prowler is so I'll definitely check this out now.

I'm obviously not expecting combat on World's level but I'm sure it'll be fun. I couldn't justify buying Rise after leaving GU untouched for months.

There's supposed to be a patch when it launches, right? I hope I remember to set the game to patch when I wake up to piss in the middle of the night so I don't have to wait for it when I'm up and ready to play.

Reddit appears to think it's releasing at 1am PST because of a countdown on view.ccg.nintendo. Honestly no idea if it's real.

Is this game even out at midnight PST? The countdown on the Nintendo site says that it unlocks at 1am for me.

it's completely unnecessary and takes up a bunch of screen space, and the only way to hide it is to also hide the staff and infernal melody indicator :smith:

Noooo I completely forgot about this from when I played the demo, that's a bummer.

We jumped forward an hour due to DST shenanigans and not back, though? Wouldn’t it have said 11pm if that were the case?
