#tales from the hunt
Here is my card thingy, though the weapons are subject to change once I actually play the game for a while. Hunter Ginkgo is my oldest monhun character actually, created specifically for MH way back when, since I had no human characters to use (and I don’t have the brainpower to make another one apparently lmao)
[to elaborate on that memo bit: I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, but simply put my anxiety usually stops me from playing with people I don’t know, it’s just awkward and stressful. I haven’t had a “squad” since the PSP days (even then it was just my sis and her friend), and it sucks when so many people cite MH as a “better with pals” sort of game, knowing it’s unlikely I’ll ever get that kind of experience. I know I whine too much about this but it’s been constant for 12 years and it’s hard not to feel like shit when you can’t relate to/reach out to anyone in a relatively normal friendly community]
Rise demo good…
It’s really fun so far, I actually like the puppeteering gimmick a lot! The wirebug will take some getting used to though.. As for one of the weapons, one of my “mains” the Insect glaive… hmm I dunno how I feel about it tbh;;
They changed the “aim” button to the “wirebug” button so it’ll take some time to adjust to that for starters. Otherwise to me it doesn’t feel as fluid as World glaive so far, almost like it’s slower and has slightly longer animations.. Also feels like they want me to spam aerial attacks, but said attacks are harder to pull off without getting knocked around, at least against fast monsters like Mizu (it doesn’t help that I was solo too).
Maybe I’m missing something here, did they reduce its moveset? I can see the bug doesn’t auto attack/leave dust clouds anymore, and I didn’t figure out how to do the downward stab attack (unless I’m doing both wrong). For the silk attacks, the wirebug vault is ok but forgettable, but the healing backhop thing is nice. I only used the weapon twice so far, so I’ll try it more in the full game and learn the changes/get a better feel for it’s new handling, but not sure I like it too much at the moment :< (just to break up the negativity, another old fave I tried, LS, is fantastic though, and I can’t wait to try new weapons!)
[don’t worry I’m not going to live post opinions or anything, it’s just that Rise glaive was a hot topic on this blog a couple of weeks ago, and I’d like to hear if anyone else feels similarly or if I’m just bad at it xD]
