#game impressions
The other day, I said GS was my new muse - I lied. The trip stick Long Sword has taken me. Part of my adoration for SA is the weapon’s inherent duality: mobile, less powerful axe/less mobile, more powerful sword. LS is very similar in that regard: land regular, less powerful attacks to build up more powerful Spirit Gauge attacks. Also similar to SA, LS has a very nice, almost rhythmic “dance” about it while maneuvering around monsters. Finished maxing out a crit armor set and the Silverwind (why not?) LS and it’s been a blast! I might even pick up LS in World I’m enjoying it so much in Gen Ultimate. GenU: SA (retired), LBG, LS. World: SA, LS soon, and probably Bow down the line.

So, as of yesterday it’s official: I can no longer play Switch Axe in Generations. Actually, I can - I just don’t care to. World’s heavily refined and improved iteration of my favorite weapon of all-time has spoiled me and ruined my pre-World SA repertoire and I have no desire to go back to it. GenU’s SA is a wet noodle, in comparison. And while I’ve grown quite fond of my Silverwind LBG and the gunning style of gameplay, I’ve acquired a new love in GenU: the one and only Great Sword. You can’t get any more “Monster Hunter” than the GS: the original big boy of pain. It’s so satisfying to crunch body parts… I’ve sorely missed lobbing off tails. (It’s what I live for.) GenU? GS/LBG. Everything else? Switch Axe for life.
