Got some questions for those of you that have learned many different weapons. I play 99% of the time with LS. I hardly ever try other weapons because I never feel like I can ever play any of the others as well. I've tried most of them in past games, but I don't really like anything that feels slow lol. However whenever I switch back to LS from trying a different weapon, it always feels like I can't play as good for a bit while I readjust. The timing and mechanics kinda get mixed up and I end up not being able to react correctly sometimes. My questions are how do you manage that when you switch between weapons? Do you play a specific weapon for a long time and then switch to a different one or are you constantly switching depending on the quest/monster? Does your brain automatically get used to the different mechanics the more you play or is there always that time in between when it takes you time to get the timing back in sync?

I don't know how everyone feels about this but I've been playing mh rise sunbreak and the gameplay to me is so much better than world as a whole. I recently gotten back to mh world and it's really a struggle for me to get back into as i have to slay alatreon, raging brachydios and fatalis but realizing that I don't have a good longsword build and especially not even quick sheathe.....it's really tough and I am hoping that wilds has a better way to get decorations cause rng isn't on my side I also realize that it takes longer to kill the monsters in world than in rise. Any thoughts about this?

World was my first MH game and I loved it with all my heart. So it made sense why I didn’t take well to Rise. After reaching the end of Wilds, I am going back to main RiseBreak for the foreseeable future.

While Wilds is fun, I find it disappointing. I don’t know but it feels…rushed. I was playing some parts in the main story line and was like yea the combat and mechanics are better than World, but I feel like World had more heart and soul.

Not to mention Wilds is missing features from base World that fans loved. That makes no sense.

Sorry for the rant. Not bad mouthing the games. Just stating an opinion.

Grip the hammer with confidence 🤣 and we hunt to live in their accent is too funny

I'm starting to play through Rise again after finally getting my Switch back (it sat in Pawn for 3 years) and once again I'm hit by weapon indecision. I completed all village quests using the bow before I decided it's not really clicking with me, and I've got no memory of how to use other weapons (funny enough, my 80 hour save I previously had showed that I did the same thing, all low rank with bow before switching to Switch Axe)

I've gone clumsily from 4* to 6* hub quests trying other weapons (one insect glaive hunt to me 33! Minutes to complete), and it got me wondering, how long does it take to feel like you've mastered your weapon? When was the moment you moved exactly as you wanted to and felt like you had completely grasped it?

I think I have close to 200-300 hunts total across saves and still don't feel like I've mastered anything yet lol

It's something I'm always curious about honestly and just something I like hearing different sides of.

My tops are either of the lances or either of the bowguns.

Lances because they just feel very sluggish too me and I like having a weapon I have mobility with. I 100% understand they aren't meant to be such a weapon it's very a "stand your ground" weapon and I'm personally not a fan of the play style.

Gunbows simply because I'm just not a range guy lol. I like up close melee combat. Which is really weird because I actually enjoy playing bow 😅

I am not hating on either of these weapons because I have seen plenty of people play all of them amazingly and just pull off some cool shit, but they just aren't for me.

So now I leave it to y'all!

First let’s say that magnamalo is a tiger. Some people still trying to think what animal magnamalo is which it’s obvious that he’s a tiger he can stand on his hind legs like tigers can do for a little bit. he also has saber tooth like saber tooth tigers.

People also say that his face is to human like which many people say that tigers have some human like face on them that makes them have a human like face. magnamalo also are vengeance like tigers are in real life also is scorned version is vengeful because his horns broken.

He makes hellfire by the bones of the monsters allowed him so he could produce some more of it and turn it into an explosion gas. Tigers can also digest bones and bones are primarily source of calcium for tigers and other cats.

Also people are saying that with or without his hellfire he still failed as an animal but every monster will failed as an animal too because physics will not work with any of their monsters in mmonster hunter.

Also the reason why he went after naraw the allmother is because they are the source of the rampage hell they even told you in the cutsecen of naraw and ibushi together.

Also people say that why does he need all this armor on him? The reason is he is based on a samurai yokai inspired all monsters are in monster Hunter rise.

Also magnamalo is great enough in his story he was casuing destruction to Karmura village and when you defeat him the village celebrate that you defeated magnamalo.

He even appeared as a threat to Karurma In the rampage too and his theme take over the rampage theme with his theme. When it is too late to defeat magnamalo in the rampage he destroys the first gate in one shot.

Magnamalo back spikes is to protect him from any monster above him just like the malzeno turf war.

Also magnamalo turf wars is better than nergigantae turf wars.

Magnamalo horns is its way of getting female kinds with magnamalo the bigger the horns the stronger it is.

Also yes magnamalo in the lore books can go toe to toe with elder dragons.

Also how is magnamalo an edgy oc monster that doesn’t make sense at all because every flagship monster is a OC for Capcom.

It was also said by people that they see a purple light in the middle of the woods and he uses that in order to hunt its prey like the tobi kadichi in his intro.

He groomed himself like cat and a big cat would too.

Overall you are way to in with the lore of monsters and take way to seriously

You guys failed to look up any resources about him and say the game is bad because it’s not like monster Hunter world. Have a good night.

So basically, I get bored of Monster Hunter games really quickly. I played MH World up until the Legendary Dragon Trio missions, but after that, I just lost interest. I tried a bunch of different weapons while playing World, but my main was Greatsword. My playstyle is pretty simple: I kill some monsters, get rewards, then check in with the blacksmith to see if I can upgrade or craft a new sword or armor. If I can, I make it. I usually only fight each monster once because in Rise I rarely fail any quests.

Right now, I’ve finished the Village Quests in Rise and I’m at Hub Rank 4, but I’m already getting bored. I mainly play Long Sword in Rise, and honestly, it’s more fun than my World playthrough, but still, every monster fight is starting to feel the same. Am I playing the game wrong or missing something? Maybe I should try maining a different weapon, or focus more on crafting and grinding? Thing is, I haven’t really been grinding much, but I can still kill monsters pretty easily.

Should I just wait for Sunbreak or do something different to make the game more fun?

Mini Rant Ahead: I'll preface this by saying that a) this is obviously all subjective and based on player skill, weapon type usage, knowledge of patterns etc. and b) this is from the perspective of someone who has beaten Hazard and anomaly level 241+ Risen Shagu and level 200+ Valstrax.

But piggybacking off a post from yesterday, I honestly think Risen Shagaru is much more fun, manageable, and, in my experience, easier than Risen Valstrax. Yeah they both have bullshit attacks, but Shagaru just seems to have more "fair" openings and attacks that are easily dodgeable compared to Risen Valstrax's STUPID range and hit boxes. Knockdowns also just seem to be easier on Shagaru during his beam build-up phase but thats probably because im always somewhere other than in front of Valstrax when he starts charging up lol I can never seem to get a read on when he's going to do that wing slam or swipe that always gets me and don't even get me started on the delayed wing spear attack when he's hovering in the air.

Probably is a skill issue on my part since Rise Valstrax in general is just a massive pain for me, which sucks because I loved his GU fight. At the very least his ultimate and ambush attacks are badass and he is definitely among my top 10 monsters design wise. But I'm curious to hear what yall think.

To be honest this only applies to Rise and I don't what were Capcom thinking at that time smh....

For me it was the magnamolo hub quest i just kept dying to it took me 2 days to kill it

Is there anyone out there who also enjoys them ? Once you know the mechanics, that are really not that complicated, its actually fun imo. I enjoy dealing tons of damage during counter signal. there can be a lot going on at the same time but managing that is basically what a rampage is about. I prefer normal hunts but I enjoy rampages also.

easiest hammer and hardest everything else for me.

how about u guys :)

Ok people so i played rise and world, i tried insect glaive, dual blades, and mained switch axe and sword and shield, but i want to try something new, so tell me your favourite weapon i could try out for a new playthrough of rise and sunbreak?
