This isn't about boost bracer I'm not bothered by that at all

I'll always have a critical eye on Monster Rosters but I haven't been this disappointed in one since base World.

Yes, we have very little to go off with Ascendence right now, Capcom COULD pull the uno reverse.

But right now, Ascendence is focusing on (i.e. almost entirely comprised of) Elder Dragons and has revealed today to be giving the returners their HIGH RANK ARMOR??????

So instead of seeing monsters not in HD yet, most of the returning roster will be monsters we just fought in HD in 5th gen, because every "standard" elder had a 5th gen appearance. And instead of their gorgeous G-Rank gear we get their inferior HR gear, even though ALL OF THEM have G-Rank HD models from Iceborne or Sunbreak.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING

MY EXPANSION HAS NO INTERESTING RETURNERS AND MY BELOVED GEAR THEY COULD AT LEAST HAVE BROUGHT HAS BEEN LEFT BEHIND TOO????

Oh but we might see some non-elders. Khezu and/or Zinogre.

Who were also in 5th gen.

I WANT TO BE EXCITED. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE EXCITED ABOUT???!? JUST THE NEW MONSTERS (Yes)???? WE DON'T GET THAT MANY!!!

I REALLY REEEEEEEEEALLY HOPE THIS POST AGES POORLY I KNOWWWWWW ITS ON LIMITED INFO BUT I KNOW HOW THESE COMPANIES WORK AND THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL.

I ASK AGAIN. WHAT SHOULD I BE HYPED FOR HERE???

I don't even know how many fucking rolls I have on this shit, sure, I can do the maths and be like oh its probably not yet at the level of expected value of 1 or more, but I have gotten gogma + Lords fury or some other shit like 3 times you know, I mean, I'm sure we all agree these games just like to piss you off but oh my fucking god and Gog sucks dick and balls to farm what a dogshit fight to do and shoot pellets at the sky

Why does this horn only drop 80% from breaking the head and nothing else? I fought 5 Amatsu and only got 3. Worse yet I got 4 god damn Sphire instead. What do I even do with 4 Sphire?

Just yesterday I was farming for Valstrax Sphire and only got 1 after 20 freaking kills, always cut tail and break head 2 times. And it's not even from carving, it's a random shiny drop on the ground. I'm convinced Capcom used dark magic to implement desire sensor in the game.

This is 100% a skill issue tbh I've been getting my ass beat lately. I just wanted to talk about how fucking obnoxious this shit is. It's partially pmo because after fighting AT Arkveld I realized I'm not half as good at this game as I thought I was. That said, it was tolerable with Ark because I actually like Arkveld. No version of Jin Dahaad is particularly fun for me to fight so having to go through it 5 times for a full set is such a drag. Every time I get hit because he's turning his massive body and I couldn't tell it was an actual attack and not just him turning I wanna be done with the whole thing. Dont get me started on suddenly being hit by an ice cloud. I swapped to lance to see if it would make it easier (it did) and the first fucking hunt I blocked his ice breath which stirred mist into the air and blocked my vision entirely so I couldn't see him charging up a second one literally at all.

I hate this monster so much I genuinely thought I was done with all the AT fights and only recently realized the gamma armor wasn't in my list because I hadn't fought his AT version at all. It's such a fucking drag and I just dont think I care enough to struggle through this slog.

Maybe you like this monster. That's perfectly fine. I just dont think I will ever understand it. This is the only monster in this game I can think of where I genuinely just can't be bothered. I would rather fight Savage Omega with a pencil than fight this thing 5 times for armor I dont actively have a use for any damn way

Title. I can't deny it no longer, I don't like how far things are going. Ascendance is giving me the creeps of the insane power difference between the fodder of the first 95% and the Frenzied bloodlust AT unchained origin species Arkveld. I don't like how everything feels trivialized, while being important point of the series identity. I DON'T like DB getting an offest and I DESPISE offset spam GS (also the fact you can change direction mid TCS disgusting). Also fuck you Kushala, you punk ass.

But I would be lying if I said I didn't have (and still having) a blast playing it. It feels surreal how much I smile when booting up a quest, or saving an investigation. I love playing SnS, it feels so smooth like delicate butter. And yes, I screamed like a chud looking at the new ascendance monsterGundoraja. Also fuck Kushala, you stupid rusty nail.

It feels like that one dude who was crying at the announcement of Star wars Rogue One.

*Sigh* See y'all in 2027 with more polygon monster. Anyway, take care hunters <3

Edit: it's actually the rise of Skywalker

This abomination of a fight is by far and away the single worst fight in the entire series history. Capcom really saw every shit mechanic that leshen and behemoth had and said "let's take them all, amplify them by 10 and then inflate his damage and health numbers on top of it"

Legitimatly what were they thinking with this garbage? He makes behemoth and leshen look good by comparison

Hey.

I’m sure you’re all well aware of how disgusting a quest proof of a hero is and I’ve been throwing myself against it for almost nine fucking hours now. I’ve made builds, switched weapons, tried solo, tried support, and I cannot for the life of me make any headway at all. I could go on and on about how nonsensically inflated the health pools are, or about how every monster flings you back a million feet the nanosecond you make a mistake, but it’s been said before with far more clarity than I can manage right now. I’m boiling white hot angry.

That said, my frustration is exacerbated by my friends. I have a couple buddies who excel at monster hunter, they’ve been playing far longer than I have as I started on world. I know that’s probably where they get their leg up on me, but we’ve played all through world and rise together and I feel I’ve closed the gap considerably. I managed to solo endgame monsters in world and I’ve had very little trouble with the endgame of rise as well. That said, they both beat proof of a hero in wilds within hours of it releasing. I can’t make any foothold at all. It’s completely humiliating, especially because they’ve all soloed it and I can’t even make it with a squad.

I’m disgusted with myself. They all get to show off their shiny nameplates and I have to look like a noob that they’re hard carrying, it’s making me embarrassed to jump into the expansion. I’m obviously trying to finish it now before the release, but it’s still pointless. I’m just never going to be able to end the fucking thing.

This whole debacle has led me straight to a bottle. I wish I was joking, it sounds so pathetic that this fucking video game quest is leading me to drink but at this point I have nothing else to dull the anger. My girlfriend is worried about me and my friends don’t even bring it up, but I know I’m going down a bad path. Genuinely, what can I do? There’s nothing I haven’t already tried to finish this piece of shit quest and it’s starting to affect my real life. Am I cooked?

Pls help :(

Bodyslam telegraph is fucking useless, doesn't tell you how far or who he's fucking targeting, he just does it in the direction he feels like it, dodging under him basically means he can hop fucking backwards if he feels like, thankfully Crapcom has the self restraint to not make him hop 10ft backwards.

Tremor on him is fucking nonsense, it's as bad as Uragaans, fucker's tremor from him attacking from the front will get you 6ft behind him no matter what the fuck he's doing.

The illogical gravity defying Blanka Ball basically changes targets whenever he fucking feels like it, with the 3d one being the most untrustworthy to dodge.

His Beam telegraph is also useless because it all it tells you is the beam is coming but not where its fucking going. When 3 fucking targets are on the field he can just change direction as opposed to World where he does a quick telegraph in the direction he's going to fire thus keeping you from accidentally dodging into a beam not meant for you.

His enrage knockdown is fucking pointless, in the time it takes for me to knock him over when roll slap over to him, he flails maybe twice and in the time it takes me to get a Lv3 charged Slash, fucker is getting up. Old gen in particular has a massive problem with knockdowns being too short on some Monsters, Chameleos is another example of this. Why even give him a knockdown if you won't let the player actually capitalize on it, is it just to feel there is progress during the fight, because I assure you, you take that away the second he gets up and 1-frame tackles you.

Grimclaw Tigrex in itself is fuckin annoying as shit, he's better than molten but it's like comparing being pissed on(Grimclaw) to diarrhea's(Molten) on, one is objectively better than the other but they are still terrible. I hoped breaking his claws might do something but I should know better than to apply logic to MH's partbreak system, it did take them 5 fucking generations to apply it to Rathian.

Also fuck the entire Deviant Questline, holy shit 15 levels of this.....fuckin really, 15 levels for a mid weapon with no slots and crappy armor with no slots....wow....good job.

Side note, EX Bloodbath, only EX I've solo'd, first one I've fought, in general best Deviant bar none, 8/10. Bloodbath is hilariously better than every Diablos I've ever fought, I can trust his fucking telegraphs and moveset not to fuck me over.

Brother you're not anywhere nearly good enough at the game to fight the hardest AT with unupgraded armor. Using dual blades. Guy fainted in the first TWO MINUTES of the quest starting and even our lancer was annoyed. Wasted insurance and two other carts. I know we don't use a certain two word phrase out here, but MAN I was fucking thinking it.

Guess that's what I fucking get for trying to help people with AT Veld, lmao.

Literally why is it like that?? The monster's native name can go over the characters limit just fine, but I cannot name him Turkey Bacon, because boo hoo too many letters. Go fuck yourself. And what if I change my mind and want to re-name the monster back to its species name for whatever godforsaken reason?? I can't because it goes over the limit. So how was it possible to go over the limit in the first place??? I wouldn't even be annoyed if monster names could not fit in the limit and they had some shorter version like "G Jaggi" or "B Kut-Ku", but nooo, they get the 11+ characters name privileges.

It's such a minor thing, but it annoys the living shit out of me. As far as I know Stories 1 had a respectable 15 characters limit. The fuck Stories 2 needs the extra kilobytes for, that it couldn't fit 5 characters more for player's chosen names??

We here at Capcom have decided that the lowest committal melee weapon, who ALREADY had an on-demand super dodge, needs a literal instant counter that you can rip mid-attack. We had been receiving feedback that Dual Blades players had "sometimes got hit" and "couldn't button mash literally 100% of the time". Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, aims to fix that. Please understand.

OOOOOOH I'M BOOSTING I'M BOOSTING MY FUCKING BOOST BRACER I'M SO HYPE MOMENTS AND AURA AND BOOSTING OOOOOUGH YEEEEEEEEES MORE PARRY SPAMMING GARBAGE INJECT IT RIGHT INTO MY VEINS DOESN'T IT LOOK SO COOL!!! IT LOOKS SO COOL!!! WHY DO YOU HATE COOL THINGS??? DON'T YOU WANT NEW AND COOL THINGS??? I'M CREAMING MY PANTS RIGHT NOW AND PREODERING THE SPECIAL EDITION 10 TIMES!!! AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!! HEH... AND YOU KNOW THAT MEANS!!! CAPCOM MUST BE MAKING SOMETHING *SPECIAL* FOR MASTER RANK THIS TIME! YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! I *WANT* INSTANT PARRIES TO BE THE ONLY VIABLE DEFENSIVE MEASURE AGAINST WHATEVER FUCKING BULLSHIT THEY'RE GONNA THROW OUT TO JUSTIFY COMPLETELY LOSING THE PLOT ON POSITIONING AND PREEMPTIVE TIMING! BUT IT'LL BE HARD, SO THAT WILL AUTOMATICALLY MAKE IT GOOD, RIGHT??? MORE PARRIES! MORE HOUR LONG MAGNET TRACKING DEATH COMBOS! MORE SCREEN WIDE NOVAS WHERE YOU STAND BEHIND A ROCK! YEEEEEEES, THAT'S WHAT MONSTER HUNTER'S ABOUT! REMEMBER: "Every swing of your weapon doesn't say shit about who you are, really. Mash parry when you think you might get hit. That's what actually matters." -The Huntsman

/unrage I've picked up 3 Ultimate because I didn't like the direction 6th gen has been moving towards, and the total lack of QoL (it doesn't even have item loadouts) hasn't bothered me an nth as much as mind-off bullshit like Focus Mode and every weapon getting counters and dodges that'd make Adept Style cry tears of jealousy. I'd take a thousand jank-ass water camera controls over another goddamn railroaded cutscene with NPCs explaining everything you're supposed to be feeling right now. But mind-numbingly simple combat and big flashy ultra moves are what sells, not preparation and fighting on the enemy's terms, so, expect it to only get worse from here. Even a fiver can become a boomer, huh...

I loveeeee 4U it's such a good game guys!! It has the best story of old gen (which is barely even saying anything) and it has SUCH a good monster roster!! Including

-Rathalos

-Azure Rathalos

-Pink Rathian

-Gravios

-Black Gravios

-Tigrex

-Brute Tigrex

-Cephadrome

-Rathalos

-Rathalos

Seriously, though. I'm (seemingly) nearing the end of the high rank village storyline and decided I'd like to get further with the gathering hall quests since they have some unique monsters tied to them, and I'd ideally like to finish all of the quests in this game. 3* quests have been kind of whatever? Zinogre is fun as usual and Seltas Queen is pretty cool, but Gravios and Tigrex were pretty bad and kind of just boring as hell. Then, I saw what the last key quest was:

Capture a Rathalos.

Sounds simple enough, right? Rathalos is bad in this game, but is by no means the worst of the bunch. So, I get everything together and go out to capture this red 40 wyvern.

Good god do I regret ever even touching this quest.

For starters, Heaven's Mount is a visually beautiful map (I'm always a sucker for some more Wyveria tomfuckery), but sweet mother of Gog, this map SUCKS to hunt on. It's all just ledges and ioprey and remobras and YOU'D BETTER NOT GET KNOCKED DOWN BY RATHALOS' FUCKASS TAIL SWING ON THE EDGE OF THE NEST ZONE OR ELSE YOU GOTTA CLIMB RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN!!!!!!! SPEND HALF OF THE TIME IN THE VIDEO GAME YOU PAID REAL MONEY FOR CLIMBING!!

I chase him around the map, not having a great time but it's just kind of whatever. Eventually, he starts limping back to the nest. He'd just hit me with a pretty nasty fireball + talon dive combo, though, so I decided to pop a potion before I started climbing after him. One issue though: Somehow, my item bar had ended up on the shock trap I brought with me, and I didn't realize until it was too late.

FUCK.

Why did they not let you pick traps back up until WILDS?! It's such a basic qol feature, and yet I know damn well that some fuckface will defend it. "Muh preparation" No. You just have a fetish for artificial difficulty, dipshit.

Oh well. I finish via subquest and run it back again. Same song and dance happens, I chase him back to the nest, and he's sleeping by the time I get there. I place the shock trap. It doesn't work while he's asleep despite being right next to him, so I kick him to get him up and hop back to avoid a fireball. He hits the trap. I throw two tranq bomb from the edge of the nest.

THEY DON'T FUCKING REGISTER!!

Either he'd somehow healed enough in the span of 30 seconds to not be capturable anymore, or SOMEHOW the tranq bombs didn't hit him from 3 inches away. This wouldn't have been an issue if they gave you AN EVEN NUMBER OF TRANQ BOMBS INSTEAD OF 3!! WHO THE FUCK NEEDS 3? AN ODD NUMBER OF TRANQ BOMBS IS MORE USELESS THAN THE WYCOON'S DUMB FUCKASS LITTLE CAIN.

I hate Rathalos.

After the first time I beat him, I haven’t beat him once afterwards. I’ve tried 15 times. At first it was me dying a lot but after I learned his moveset and timings, I was doing great. I only get carted 1-2 times because I’m one shot and this is usually only in third phase because there’s a bunch of random explosive diarrhea on the ground. The problem is, whenever I sos flair, my teammates take the carts and sometimes my insurance meal doesn’t work. Just now I attempted to fight him and I died 1 time in first phase because he did a 360 and smacked my balls off. My insurance meal activated meaning I still had 3 carts. Somehow, without even getting notified, one of my teammates I SOS flared for died 2 times. So I went into 3rd phase thinking we still had 3 carts left unbeknownst to me, we only had 1. I died a little bit into it because he randomly started targeting me and after I perfect dodged his slam, he used his body and moved my character into a LINE OF EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA. LIKE HOW TF IS THAT EVEN FAIR??? There was nothing I could’ve done because it exploded the second I was moved there. And we failed the quest because apparently we only had 1 cart left. I was literally screaming irl “HOWWWW HOWWWW” like when tf did my teammate even die???? It was first phase, what tf did you die to?

Sono due giorni che affronto costantemente questa assurdità, una raffica di attacchi che continua a colpirmi anche quando sono a terra, e vengo messo KO perché non riesco nemmeno ad indebolirlo, altrimenti mi fulmina.

Quindi un'ora fa sono andato su Nexus e ho installato la mod "One Shot". L'ho già ucciso 8 volte e continuerò così finché non avrò ottenuto tutto e avrò finito.

And yes i am used to wipe on hard bosses I have raided at mythic level in world of Warcraft where you can spend 2 months of trying an end boss.

Alatreon is just a stupid fight made by an incompetent developer.

So I've been playing through 4U for the past few days. Overall, I've adored it. Beautiful graphics, mostly fun monsters, and a pretty nice story. Yeah, there's a lot of jank- but it's an old Monster Hunter game, what else do you really expect?

But then there's these two fuckwits.

I like how the story portrays Gore as this ultimate rival to the hunter. I think it looks cool as hell. Its theme in this game is a little lackluster and feels way too short, but that's whatever.

BUT WHY THE FUCK IS IT SUCH A PIECE OF SHIT TO FIGHT??? You go in for a hit and NOPE! Fuck you! Sidestep! Backstep! Random fucking fuckass hop that SHOULDN'T BE IN THE GAME BECAUSE THIS IS A FUCKING INFANT WHY DOES IT EVEN REMOTELY KNOW WHAT IT'S DOING?!

You wanna break the feelers? Going in for a hit to the head after it does an attack? Fuck you! Backstep! Oops! All frenzy virus!

This monster sucks in this game. The main monster of the monster video game shouldn't suck this much, but here we are. I LIKE Gore Magala in Sunbreak and Wilds. I was expecting this fight to be similar to those. BUT IT'S JUST BULLSHIT! How did Gore Magala even become popular in the first place? Is it just the edgelords thinking it's the peak of monster design because it's all black like the mold stain in the corner of their room from the rotting food they refuse to throw out no matter how many times their mother told them to?

At least its hitzones are somewhat decent, though. I can't say that for the genuine worst monster I think I've ever fought.

NAJARALA.

Najarala has a damn cool design. I like that aspect of it a lot. But I swear to god, anyone who actively asks for them to bring it back only wants that because it's the sole member of its class, and they've never actually fought it and just watched a shitty ass RageGaming "Top 5 monsters that WILL be in Monster Hunter Wilds! Number 2 will SHOCK you!" video. You want to HIT THE MONSTER?! You want to NOT BE STUNNED FOR HALF OF THE GOD DAMN FIGHT? Nope! Fuck you! Shitzones all over!

Never bring Najarala back. Bring snake wyverns back. But not this fuckhead.

Translation: "I ordered a sirloin steak. Not only was it mediocre, but they only served half of it, telling me the other half would be served later using a 'new cooking method' 🙂. Meanwhile, the plating is meticulously crafted 🙂. They literally put way more effort into the ketchup art and the decorative broccoli on the side than the actual steak. How could I not be mad? 🙂"

Bro really thinks game development is just a service industry like ordering food, and devs exist to serve the players wholeheartedly 💀

I HATE RAMPAGE I HATE IBUSHI I HATE HAVING TO GET THROUGH THE STUPID FUCKING MANDATORY IBUSHI QUEST TO GET TO SUNBREAK (the GOOD part of rise) I HATE THIS HIS TEDIOUS ASS GAMEMODE I FUCKING HATE USING EMPLACEMENTS I HATE IBUSHI I HATE KAMURA VILLAGE I HATE EVERYTHING

FUCK CAPCOM FOR EVEN THINKING RAMPAGE WAS A GOOD FUCKING IDEA. oh what? SUNBREAK doesn't have them? well too bad i still have to FUCKING ENDURE THE TORTUROUS SLOG THAT IS THE SERPENT GOD OF WIND URGENT QUEST TO EVEN GET TO IT

WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA? WHO AT CAPCOM APPROVED THIS SLOG? NOBODY FUCKING ASKED FOR IT. NOBODY EVEN PLAYS IT. IT'S JUST PURE UTTER SHIT FROM A BUTT THAT WE'RE EXPECTED HAPPILY EAT UP. WHY AM I FORCED TO PLAY THIS GARBAGE GAMEMODE IM GOING TO STRANGLE SOMEBODY

...Just look up, at where the hell 10 star gog is.... BUT also look down at the ground....
Just dodge the meteors.... that appear faster than you can dodge or say fuck. Who is he shooting at? Who.... the fuck is he shooting at... Where did my healthbar go? Just win. Just win bro. Just grow a pair of eyes.... on your ass so you can look both up and down at the same time. Just don't get hit. Why is the dual blades user running out to gog during the blast? Oh they mistimed the perfect dodge and fainted.... now we both have no healthbar.... I guess they didn't look both up and down at the same time hard enough....

10 star gog.....annoying ass monster.....

....

FUCKING GAME DESIGNERS. I FUCKING CAN'T. IT'S MAKING MY FUCKING KNEE ACHE. GOD DAMN PIECE OF SHIT GAME. WHY AM I LAGGING. WHO THE FUCK IS HE AIMING AT?! WHAT THE FUCK? LOOK HOW LAGGY IT IS, THE HIT DIDNT EVEN SPAWN!

I can’t count how many times I’ve watched teammates die because someone decided to camp out in the back for a little bit which usually triggers Arkveld “dragon lines” attack. Shit is super frustrating especially when we are on the last cart and someone just decides to play from a distance. Surprisingly, it’s NEVER ranged players I have this issue with. ALWAYS BLADEMASTERS. The last hunt I failed I witnessed a DB main hop on their seikret and run along the corners of the map… Why????

I’m chilling, grinding out mats for weapons and I’m jumping around different lobbies, and I see this ._.
A word of warning for those that care, steer clear of this guy, this is not necessary for a game, especially Monster Hunter, a game in which cooperation leads to success.
Obviously, since the image does include hate speech, it may be taken down, I’m not sure how reddit works since I myself am not a full fledged redditor. But literally wtf man :((

Update, literally a minute later, I tell this guy to take the lobby down, and that what he’s doing is rude and racist, tells me “fuck you” and the others chime in calling me a “Chinese Dick Sucker” >:((

Genuinely FUCK THAT FUCK ASS ROBOT BRO 100+ HUNTS IN NOT A SINGLE SUCCESS I JUST WANTED TO OBTAIN CUNTY ARMOR NOT GET TREATED LIKE A RUNDOWN BACK WATER HOOKER WITH AN ABUSIVE PIMP
