This series infuriates me..

It has everything that I would love except no leveling up. It's a bs waste of time without xp points.

 

[CoreyFlawless]

Damnit. Soo gonna have to wait till gamescon to understand how the new mechanics works and I guess more of the flagship monster

Not needed like at all, you see yourself leveling up as you're able to defeat new monsters you couldn't before due to your new weapons and armor

You don't need levels for everything. This is way more organic, you don't defeat the monster because you went from level 50 to level 90, but because you got better as a player, went on enough hunts for better armor and better weapons. Way more satisfying

You "level up" by getting new gear, which you obtain from killing monsters just like you would get exp in other games. What else do you need?

That's pretty cool!

Bad news tho is that we'll probably need a CAPCOM ID account to play it.
Hopefully that's not mandatory for those that don't want to make one.

 

[Schmendrick]

The tech seems seriously ancient as in "barely any progress since World" and I´m not sure about the group/mounted gameplay yet, but I´ll trust the MH team and fully expect that this will cost me a few hundred hours of my life.

 

[squidilix]

The more trailers I see of this game, the more I find it bad and annoying.
What the hell is happening? Why so much focus and story shit?

Just bring big monster and other area than this fking empty desert

 

[Coconutt]

Monster Hunter Wilds continues to look awesome will be there day 1. Only showing the desert locale but surely their will be other locations.

Options => Dialogue => Off. My first move playing this game.

I guess the story stuff makes a better trailer but damn do I want gameplay details. Hope the whole game isn't mean to be played while mounted. I like mounts as a mode of transportation and maybe even as a roaming "camp" where you can swap weapons and stuff, but I don't want battles to be mounted. To me, MH is about weighing risk/reward in combat, not quickdashing and high speed strafing while shooting.

Not gonna get too negative this early, but I really wanna see some gameplay focus vids and whatever new systems get some explanation in future trailers.

I hope there is option to have character speak wyverian, I'm honestly not fan of the english voices so far.

 

[Alexios]

Hope these scripted sequences are few and far between, maybe only in urgent missions or something as the lead up to the monster, then the rest of the game regular hunting time.

no cross save. though

I've tried every iteration of the game since it came out on psp. I know how it plays, and every time i am just wanting xp points. Instead you farm material for hours in the same boring ass places.. just to die and farm material for more hours. It's never as fun as it could be for me.

 

[Danjin44]

There is a good chance this might be our flag ship monster for Wild.

 

[Alexios]

Hope not, looks kinda shit.

It sure is a grind, but I'm fine with that since the core gameplay of fucking up big monsters is super fun to me.

Kinda like Diablo, you do the same thing for hours on end but it's just fun.

 

[Pejo]

It's like a Xeno-Safi-Magala. We'll see, I don't immidately hate it.

I think you just want different game. The enitre gameplay loop of MH games are all about farming armour and weapon materials, you even break part of the monster in order to get specific material drop.....for me and most others thats whats most fun about MH games.

Yeah but it also makes every build the same for each armor set which is super boring. Also I could just give my high end armor to a newbie and bam he is equal to everyone else with that armor.

It's just not for me and I except that but it's still infuriating

 

[GymWolf]

The only thing i hope is that they don't go overboard with fighting group of enemies all the time, mh should be mostly about 1vs1 with other monster interfering, not teaming up, nobody want rampage 2.0.

 

[Punished Miku]

I'll be honest, this trailer did literally nothing for me.

Basically hyped just from previous games and knowing this will be great from experience. The art was dark and no new monsters or attacks captured my imagination yet.

Day 1 though. Its Monster Hunter.

 

[Danjin44]

What? Different monster Armour set give you different skills, you even mix & match different armour set for specific skills based what weapon you choose to have.

 

[RoboFu]

But it's the same for every person with that same armor setup. But a game like eldin ring your build could vary greatly even with the exact same armor and weapons. Stat based leveling has way more possibilities.

 

[Danjin44]

No, you want different skill set that will compliment weapon of your choice...for example I'm LS main so I want "Quick Sheath" skill so I have better timing for my counter but thats not gonna be useful in most weapons.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Not really. Depends a bit on which MH game you are playing, but near endgame you usually unlock some new mechanic that allows you to customize your character beyond just the armor you wear.

Also I could just give my high end armor to a newbie and bam he is equal to everyone else with that armor

I think that's fine and it's meant to allow for the player to switch builds without having to resart the game from scratch.

You said exactly how I feel.

 

[R6Rider]

No return of dogs from Rise eh?

 

[NanaMiku]

Lagiacrus ranked 3rd in the popularity vote. Still hoping for his comeback

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Wish they would have shown a new weapon or two but regardless...

 

[Dice]

Put it in my veins!!

 

[bbeach123]

Not a fan of the new monsters and riding combat they showed so far.

 

[Fbh]

Looks fun.
Though I guess hoping they scale back the annoying farming is being too optimistic.
I enjoy the gameplay in these and killing a monster 2-3 times for parts is fun. Having to kill them 5+ (sometimes way more) times because of shitty drop rates isn't. As isn't having to go kill monsters you don't really care about to upgrade your base, and the whole boring crafting mechanics.

Does anyone actually like the crafting of stuff besides armors and weapons in these? just let me buy all the consumable items with the in game currency.

I'm playing through MHW with a few friends for the first time and the focus on story in that game seems so bizarre.
Not only is it completely uninteresting and we are all just skipping through the dialogue, but it has one of the most backwards and unintuitive co-op systems I've ever encountered where we all need to start new story missions on our own, progress through them until we see a cutscene and then we can exit and play it together. Like why the fuck would you make cutscenes such an important part in a game like this?.

It's weird that these trailers so far have also focused so much on story. This is a franchise that should be all about gameplay, the trailers should be entirely focused on showing new monsters and gameplay mechanics, not story.

I do, but I also enjoy fishing for hours in games that aren’t about fishing. I also like chopping down trees in Valheim but that’s partly because it’s fun to shout timber.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Need to see gameplay overview since that's the meat of the game. Monster Hunter isn't played for it's story. And what we've seen here isn't interesting in the slightest. If it's just MH World 2 then I'll just stick with World.

 

[Warablo]

I am sure this game will be awesome, but I don't really like the whole emphasis on pack monsters in the trailers. No doubt the world will be awesome.
