In Monster Hunter Wilds, we all know or heard that half of the players say the endgame monsters like 10* AT are way too difficult some of you reading may agree with this, then there's always that snob veterans with the "gitgud" culture that claims endgame hunts in Wilds like Savage Omega and AT Arkveld are "Ridiculously easy" and claims that it needs to be a lot harder than it actually is, even as far as saying Fatalis and Alatreon are "piss easy". Like how much difficult does it need to be , like do these people want the monsters to one shot their console and make it explode IRL or something to satisfy them? This is just my stupid rant because I heard these veterans complain about Monster Hunter being way too easy on a discord server and TikTok comment. I tried to point out maybe they just got really good at the game, so anything Capcom threw in the game felt easy, but they just said no most players just suck at playing videogames. Like wow ok.

I had to do a bazel + radobaan quest and a bazel + tobi-kadachi quest over and over again to farm this guys carapace, I had everything else but I needed a whole 12 of the same drop.

and only after killing him for the tenth time, and thus being able to afford the full set, did I get 2 investigations for bazelgeuse on his own.

I hate my life.

Rant

The Amount of Ass in GU must be fucking studied

This game’s “idea” of “difficulty” is so fucking toxic it drives me fucking nuts

Damage Sponges, OHKOs, Instant Attacks, Attack Spam, Cheese, Bad Hitboxes, Camping, Nudging

That’s what most monsters in this game do, that’s the devs’ idea of difficulty 

Bogus, straight Bogus

At Least 2/3rds of this Roster is buns

To Demonstrate i’ll go through every monster i’ve fought so far

Agnaktor

8/10

Pretty good, very dynamic, not much more to say 

Ahtal-Ka

10/10

S Class Themes, S Class Fight easily the most Dynamic fight in the Series (imo)

Akantor

3/10

Everything good about this monster goes out of the window because of it’s absurd amount of HP

Simply not engaging enough to last 30-40 minutes

Alatreon

1/10

Definition of Unengaging. 

Damage Sponge and a Camper 

Idiot can’t even attack you directly half of the time

AND he’s too fucking tall

Amatsu

1/10

Too fucking Tall

There’s literally nothing engaging about this monster, literally Arzuros level of engagement from a fucking Super Elder with Monstrous HP

Arzuros

3/10

Whenever he’s not boring he’s annoying

Redhelm Arzuros

3/10

Same as above

Astalos

3/10 on a bad day, 7/10 on a good day

1/10 Hyper

Wing Slam drags this fucker down by miles

Hundreds of Hours, Most fought monster, still don’t know how to consistently avoid. Too wide to dodge left or right, and dodging forward is inconsistent 

Hyper is straight Aids, this is where the Wing Slam gets REAL annoying, that’s why i’m making this

Doesn’t help every attack of his sends you flying across the entire fucking arena

Boltreaver Astalos

9/10

Haven’t fought him much, but from what i’ve experienced he’s not too bad

Less Annoying in general

Actually well designed i guess

Barioth

7/10

Dynamic, rewards part breaking, that’s all

Barroth

7/10

Simple but fun, always a good battle

Basarios

5/10

Boring but not Boring at the same time, no instant bullshit like most flying wyverns

Blagonga

2/10

Tremor-Tremor-Tremor-Tremor-Tremor-Tremor-Tremor-Tremor-Tremor-Tremor-Tremor-Tremor-Tremor

Volatile

Brachydios

9/10

Fantastic, S Class Theme, Love this guy

Raging Brachydios

?/10

idk haven’t fought him yet

Bulldrome

3/10 Solo

1/10 With another Monster

Just 1 attack, would be lower if not for low health

Unless it’s a Deviant Quest, A FUCKING ANKLE BITER, A MOTHERFUCKING ANKLE BITER HOW FUCKING FUN HOW FUUUUUCKING FUUUUN!!!

Cephadrome

3/10

Boring, doesn’t even fight you

Chameleos

1/10

Boring, Terrible Hit Zones, Damage Sponge, Instant Attacks, and Weird Range

There’s absolutely nothing good about Chameleos’ fight other than his theme

Congalala

4/10

Boring, that’s it

Daimyo Hermitaur

5/10

Slightly Engaging

Stonefist Hermitaur

3/10

Crab Skeleton tends to suck because of the side swipes, Daimyo doesn’t hit hard enough for it to be a problem, but Stonefist does

Deviljho

4/10 Normal

1/10 Hyper

Too much HP, Bad Hitzones, Tremor Spam

Small ass, Tall ass, Head and Body covered by 3 other hit zones are his only weak spots, that + his high hp makes him last wayyy toooo long

He’s way too braindead to be given this much health, he’s a 15min fight at best

:

Hyper just has too much HP AND it’s more boring since Jho’s easiest when Enraged

Savage Deviljho

2/10

Too much HP

Can’t even tell you a difference between him and base

Don’t even know if he has a Hyper

Diablos

1/10 on a Bad Day, 6/10 on a Good Day

Spammer, Camper, Nudger

Why does his feet have a hit box when he turns?

Literally can’t do shit when he charges and he can do up to FUCKING 7 CHARGES IN A ROW, stop for a bit AND DO IT AGAIN

That’s literally how my first hunt of him went i was FUCKING FURIOUS

When the RNG is just right, he’s fine

Bloodbath Diablos

?/10

Idk But i Hope he’s Good, I really fucking Hope he is

Duramboros

7/10

High Health but easily accessible weak spots

Also Funny Spin

Fatalis

?/10

No rush to fight him either with all that hp

Crimson Fatalis

?/10

same as above

White (Old) Fatalis

?/10

No rush at all

Gammoth

6/10

Kinda Boring, but nothing bad other than Snowman

Elderfrost Gammoth

1/10

Never fighting this again

Volatile as fuck at the head, Tremor, 

But the Damage is the worst fucking Part, that and Snowman

Gendrome

1/10

Boring, Annoying, and the WORST ANKLE BITER IN THE GAME, 

WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU MAKE A PARALYSIS MONSTER AN ANKLE BITER 😭 he’s so terrible

Giadrome

1/10

tbh i hate all of these fuckers

Iodrome

1/10

2nd worst

Velocidrome

2/10

nothing to say

Glavenus

9/10

Phenomenal, only thing is the bites, i fucking hate them

Hellblade Glavenus

10/10

Just a better Glavenus

Gore Magala

6.5/10

Would be Fantastic if not for 2 things: Camping and Mouth Blasts

He can literally do around 6 moves in air with nothing you can do about it cuz he’s blind

The Mouth Blasts just add to the camping and because of the lack of mobility of the hunter there’s again nothing you can do about this

Shagaru Magala

10/10

Just Better, only minus is the Giant Rock in the Middle of his Arena and the Random Blasts

Chaotic Gore Magala

?/10

Never fought him hope he’s good tho, he’s my favorite of the 3

Gravios

1/10

Boring, Annoying AOE, Aimbot, Rock Hard

Almost impossible to avoid his AOEs if you’re close unless you got valor or adept (which I don’t usually run)

The worst part is: You have to be close or you do practically no damage, you gotta break the stomach

Great Maccao

6/10

Great Intro Monster. Low HP, but still fun to refight

Gypceros

5/10

Simple, Funny, not much to say

Kecha Wacha

7/10

Another great intro monster, Fun Dynamic Fight

Khezu

1/10

Roar Spam, AOE Spam, Wind Pressure Spam, Rock Hard, Boring

Kirin

4/10

Boring Kelbi Reskin

Rock Hard

Runs away alot

Kushala Daora

6/10

Despite the wind pressure, for some reason i like this guy, idk

Lagiacrus

4/10 Normal

1/10 Hyper

Boring Normally

AOE Spam tho and Hyper Makes that VERY APPARENT

EVERY FUCKING ATTACK ONESHOTS AND HAS HAS HAS TO BE VALORED OR ADEPT BECAUSE IT LASTS TOO LONG AND TOO BIG

FUCK THIS GUY

Lagombi

3/10

Slightly more annoying Arzuros cuz of Snowman and Slide Camping

Snowbaron Lagombi

3/10

Just big Lagombi

Lao-Shan Lung

7/10

Idk I kinda liked the guy, not doing the event tho

Lavasioth

2/10

TOO DAMN BIG, TOO DAMN BIG, TOO DAMN BIG, TOO DAMN BIG, TOO DAMN BIG, TOO DAMN BIG, TOO DAMN BIG,

Also that damn slide lasts too fucking long and this is bad because it’s TOO DAMN BIG.

When you cheese him with Valor Longsword or something then he’s just braindead, boring, and still TOO DAMN BIG

Malfestio

2/10

Confuse, that’s it

Nightcloak Malfestio

10/10

Confuse was literally the only problem and Nightcloak is proof of it

This is what i mean by Bogus and Cheesy, it’s just to cover the monster’s ass and the players expense

Mizutsune

4/10 Pre G

9/10 G Rank

Pre G-Rank Mizutsune is just boring, G rank really spices it up with the lunges

Soulseer Mizutsune

10/10

Peak, just a better Mizu

Najarala

1/10

FLINCH FLINCH NUDGE NUDGE FLINCH FLINCH NUDGE NUDGE WIND PRESSURE WIND PRESSURE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE FLINCH FLINCH WIND PRESSURE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE

ROCK HARD

TOO TALL

TOO BIG

I almost went insane fighting this piece of shit

Why just why does he need this bs? Literally take away the nudging, flinching, and wind pressure + the Coil Spam (Where he surrounds you) he’d be an 8

Nakarkos

2/10 Low 

10/10 High and G

Low Rank Nakarkos is boring, that it

Nakarkos beyond that is Spectacular

He’s Dynamic, Fair, and Beautiful with a Stellar Theme

Nargacuga

9/10

Extremely fun to learn, Tail-slam has horrible hit box but it’s digestible 

Instant attacks, but the hops the tell

Silverwind Nargacuga

1/10

Why Oh Why did they make him a Camper

The King of Camping only rivaled by the Raths

I loved him at first, but as the quests progressed he started to go out of his way to jump across the entire Arena to spam Projectiles and when you get close he just Jumps away and do it again

Then in G rank They get the bright idea to give him a new way to camp with a fast jump away projectile

And he has Aimbot

Nerscylla

4/10

The Ceiling Hanging makes this monster so annoying

Nibelsnarf

8/10

Dynamic, Love the fishing Mechanic, Not much else to say

Plesioth

3/10

TOO DAMN BIG, TOO DAMN BIG, TOO DAMN BIG, TOO DAMN BIG, TOO DAMN BIG

Rajang

1/10

volatile, just volatile

I fucking hate fighting this guy, i hate it so bad, i avoid him whenever i can because this fucker’s ass

you practically can’t attack his head, the amount of instant attacks he has is unbelievable 

i hate this bastard i truthfully do

Tremor add on to this, Tremor is so bogus it just covers a monster’s end lag and it has no observable range, and it auto sheathes you and stuns you too. Cheese it’s cheese and Rajang is the king of tremor

i hate this bastard and i’m glad i don’t really fuck with gear design

Furious Rajang

1/10

Worse Rajang

Rathian

2/10

The highest score any rath’s getting

I absolutely refuse to fight raths, i realized much of my anger in this game came from them

Wind Pressure is so ass, it’s THE WORST, WORSE THAN ATTACK SPAM, STALLING, TREMOR, HP, HARDNESS, SIZE, EVERYTHING (other than instant attacks)

i hate it soooooo much man i fucking hate it

These fuckers ruin my day 

Rathian here just spams instant dashes, i fucking hate these i really do

It’s not fun, sure i can predict them but i still don’t like them, it’s cheap, low effort, and angering

Everytime i see an instant attack i get angry i really do hate it, so many monsters have these it’s insane

Rathalos

1/10

:(

When he’s not pissing me off, he’s just boring

The bad thing about wind pressure and tremor is you can’t tell now far it goes or how long it lasts and it puts a halt on the hunt, there’s no point to it, practically no monster benefits from it.

It’s just to cover their asses and artificially make a fight more engaging and it’s on random monsters too like why does Glavenus have wind pressure? It’s only on one move too, there’s no point to it

Gold Rathian

1/10

Rock Hard, Shitzones, Camper, Insta Attacks, Wind Pressure, Poison, Damage Sponge

I really hate how robotic the raths move, it’s so unnatural. It doesn’t help that half the cast moves mostly organically

I mean these are the flagship monsters of the entire series, why did it take so long for them to be good

Why make the most iconic monsters so annoying 🧐, i truly ponder this, it just doesn’t make sense to me

Silver Rathalos

1/10

Hatred, pure hatred, nothing more

Who made this and was proud with themselves? Who saw this and decided to port it over across generations (2-3-4) with no major changes.

Something i hate in this game is that monsters can cancel their animations into roars

Let’s say the monster just did an attack with a lot of end lag and you decide to punish but as soon as you do it, it cancels it’s endlag, roars, and gets a guaranteed attack that wipes 3/4ths of your health away all because you decided to capitalize on an opening

That’s why i hate Raths

Dreadqueen Rathian

1/10 

Never fight again

Even if i rocked with it’s gear i’d never fight it again, it’s like all the other raths

Has everything bad from Normal Rathian, add in Golden moveset and Camping, and the most annoying poison in the game and make it unable to be flashed down (without wing break) and you got an atrocity

Something i hate is the awkward run into instant tail swipe and the annoying 2nd tail flip in the air

I also hate the landing, why does it hurt me?

Perhaps i’d be more accepting of this if it wasn’t because of the lack of mobility. I have few very few if any options to deal with this. Just kinda annoying, take Silverwind for example if the hunter was more mobile he’d be fine. if evade extender was more useful he’d be fine. But neither is the case so he sucks

Dreadking Rathalos

1/10 Never fight again

sure you could say “just use skills to negate it!”, but the problem with that is the skill system.

It’s too expensive and the Monsters have too much HP

A common gripe you’ll see here is that the monster is not engaging enough for the amount of HP it has. Alatreon, Amatsu, Deviljho, Ukanlos all get dragged down considerably by this.

No one wants to fight a monster for 35-49 minutes and still fail, it isn’t satisfying at that point

So if i go for comfort i lack damage and the fight takes too long and i get worn down, so i go with damage and deal with the bullshit, but it’s bullshit

I don’t fight raths anymore because of these reasons obviously but alot of the cast also have these issues and it really drags down the experience, i can’t really spec for comfort to make the fight better or the time takes too long and i get frustrated

Raths are the very embodiment of everything wrong with this game minus Tremor

The wildest part here is that they could’ve made the Raths better with their deviants, they had a chance to make them better but instead they doubled down and made them horseshit

Royal Ludroth

5/10

Simple, cool design

Seltas

5/10

Simple cool design

Seltas Queen

6/10

Kinda boring tbh, too slow for my taste, but still somewhat enjoyable

Seregios

3/10

Bleed is so ass, Old Gen Seregios is straight buns. The fast attacks that build up bleed, the hard to dodge leg swipes in the air, the triple hit-TRIPLE FUCKING HIT Scale attacks makes this fight so buns

Why does getting hit by his scales flinch you twice and sends you flying the 3rd time? Who designed this?! Who in their right minds designed this and thought to themselves “Ah Yeah This is Great 😃”? This is dogshit. BS, straight BS.

Bleed is so fucking cheap, it’s literally the only thing i consistently bring an item for because it’s that bad

Shogun Ceanataur

2/10

Always hated Shogun. Like i said much earlier, The crab skeleton is mostly buns. The range of those sickles is so fucking long, and he spams the swipes, then there’s the instant run and the fucking bleed

Horse Ass

Rustrazor Ceanataur

9/10

By taking away the swipes and making it more engaging with the Glavenus skull, they actually make the crab skeleton good, fantastic even. I love this guy.

Teostra

1/10

Truly the MOST VOLATILE monster in the game

Volatile as in being anywhere near the head is AIDS

THE AMOUNT OF INSTANT ATTACKS THIS DUDE DOES IS IS I RAN OUT OF WORDS IT’S CRAZY

Instant charge, Fire Spewing, Instant Claw Swipe, Roar, Explosions. Then there’s the nuke so you gotta keep track of time (which i suck at)

And then there’s blast, the most Cheesy status effect in the game, guaranteed half health gone if you explode no exceptions, defense doesn’t matter so even LR Teostra hits hard

Tetsucabra

8/10

Good Monster, The monster i use to try out new things

Drilltusk Tetsucabra

3/10

Deviants are always a wildcard, they either improve the fight (Nightcloak, Rustrazor, Deadeye) or they ruin it (Silverwind, Elderfrost, Dreadking)

Drilltusk ruins it

It’s all because of 1 move too, if not for this move it’d easily be a 9/10

It’s the Pounce that it does when a rock’s in it’s mouth

It spams this endlessly, that’s most o the fight and it nudges you every time so the entire fight is

NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE NUDGE

Why Oh Why are monsters allowed to spam attacks so much? Who programmed it to be this way? It turns well designed monsters like Drilltusk here into Annoying Pieces of Shit who WONT STOP FLINCHING ME WITH THAT ANNOYING TOO FAST TO REACT TO HARD TO DODGE ASS POUNCE

Tigrex

8/10

Surprised i like him so much, dunno exactly why cuz he spams nothing but instant charges, his head barely stays still in traps and on knockdown, and his roar deals damage, but i still like him

Why does his tail have a hit box when he bites tho? Why? These monsters really be having the weirdest hotboxes known to man

Grimclaw Tigrex

10/10

Been awhile since i fought him tbh, but when I did fight him often he was my absolute Favorite, I love just how overwhelming he is, you’re always on your toes with him, plus the animations are just too good

That 3rd Quest of his really soured my taste tho

Why pair the Most Aggressive-Overwhelming Monster in the game with the WORST Ankle Biter in the Game?

Ukanlos

1/10

Would be 8/10 if it wasn’t for the obscene amount of HP

Also that roar does WAAAAAYYYY TOO MUCH DAMAGE

Uragaan

4/10

Used to like this guy, until i realized the rolling was just him stalling the fight and wasting my time. It be like that for quite a few of these monsters tbh, as you get better you begin to realize that certain attacks just waste your time and they become unengaging 

Uragaan is the greatest example of this tho Lagombi is another great example

Crystalbeard Uragaan

3/10

Worse Uragaan

S-Class Gear tho (Visually)

Valstrax

9/10

Just a really good fight, good theme, cool dive-bomb

Volvidon

2/10

worst of the bear trio, stalls the most, and has the most health

Yian Kut-ku

3/10 Normal

1/10 Hyper

This guy is only palatable because of the lack of damage so when the Hyper turns it up the monster becomes Asinine 

Yian Garuga

1/10 on a Bad Day 8/10 Every Blue Moon

Volatile, Instant attack Galore

He might be the King of Instant Attacks AND he roar spams

but once every Blue Moon when the game decides to not make him spam those instant attacks so much he becomes a good fight, but that’s 1 in 100

Deadeye Yian Garuga

9/10

Less Instant attacks so that Blue Moon is the norm, also better moveset

Zamtrios

8/10

Shark-Armor Shark-Obese Shark

W Fight, never gets old Zammy is so cool

Zinogre

9/10

Just top tier, the devs actually wanted to design a fun monster

Thunderlord Zinogre

10/10

Even better Zinogre

The reason why regular zinny is just a 9

So at least 56 of the monsters are Ass or just Boring (any monster ranked 5 or below)

This might be too long now but fuck it imma get this outta my system

56 are Ass/boring

15-20 something something are good

the rest are unnotable (6/10s)

But it can get worst

Even good monsters can be made bad depending on the quest

2v1s are so Fucking Ass, Who playtested ts!? You can get into unavoidable situations so fucking easily

Take the Grimclaw and Gendrome quest for example, Grimclaw’s a 10, every quest eith him should be exciting right? NO!!! Because they decided to make his 3rd quest an arena fight with an ankle biter

Now you can choose to focus on the Ankle Biter, but then you’d be slaughtered by Grimclaw (assuming you’re around the level of the quest like i was) because again he’s the most aggressive monster in the game and at that point can literally oneshot you

But if you can manage to kill Gen then it’s a regular 1v1 right? NO!!! Because the developers decided to say “FUCK YOU!!!” and made it so that the Gendrome respawns after 1 minute 

To fully get rid of them you have to kill 3 i believe but at that point you’re just wasting your time cuz i believe they even have buffed health

I lost respect for the game here, That was a real blatant fuck you to the player. I believe most of the bs might just come from malice tbh, this isn’t even the only quest that’s like this either

Another quest is Silverwind’s X quest, where you gotta keep track of 2 projectile spamming monsters who at any point can give you bleed or almost oneshot you with a tail slam from across the entire forlorn arena, one of the biggest areas in the entire game  

Then there’s the tag along quest such as Astalos and Rathian for example. It’s almost as tho the monsters in these quests literally follow each other. I remember dung bombing a Rathian to fight a Rathalos solo only for it to come right back a literal minute later. 

It doesn’t help that dung bombing is hilariously inconsistent, you can dung bomb a monster 6 times only for the other monster to leave naturally 

And smoke bombs only lasts for a minute, in a game where hunts can take 30

Then there’s the terrain, at first i liked the terrain until i got better, than i realized it only served to sabotage me (also why does Gore’s Balls travel up and down walls?)

Ancestral Steppe, Frozen Seaway, and Dunes are especially bad when it comes to this 

Traversing the maps also suck, some of them are literal webs (Desert, Jungle, etc.) and on maps like Volcano and V. Hollow the monsters usually spawn across the entire map with no way to fast travel or take a shortcut to them. ASS

And they could just leave right when you get there too and since it was a oneway, hope you enjoy the detour :)

Malice

Then the maps be having Dog Ass design, they be too narrow/small and still be putting big ass monsters in em

Why is Grimclaw allowed in Dunes 1?

Why is Silverlos allowed in V. Hills 9? Why is anyone allowed there?

V. Hills especially sucks, holy shit is the arenas bad, 5’s the only good one.

Most of the maps suck 

imo only R. Pinnacle, Jungle, Desert, Primal Forest, and Deserted Island are good, but even these have their problems

To round it off, why are there small monsters? Idc about the “immersion” or the “challenge” why are they here? Konchu are about the only good ones

Why do half of them straight up box me? Why are these Congas genuinely tryna fight? They’re over here chasing me around like they’re Congalala 

Thunder Bugs almost ruin R. Pinnacle completely for me. Why do these little Idiots paralyze me?

Then there’s the Apceros, these fuckers piss me off the fucking most. They’re literally moving walls. The amount of times they’ve sabotaged me is insane

Also Dunes 4 is arguably the worst area in the game, who designed it this way?

To Conclude

Mhgu has alot of ass in it, really drags down the experience. The core gameplay (Hunter’s Moveset) is amazing but the monsters and maps are so ass that it drags the whole experience 

I’m Confident half of these monsters and mechanics were made specifically to torment players, you have to be malicious to “design” half of this shit, it’s insane.

I almost forgot to touch on Hypers

Too much HP

Makes Bad Monsters Worse

Makes Some Good Monsters Bad Too

This is because they Highlight Flaws in a monster. Take Gore for example, his tail swing lingers too much. Now you wouldn’t notice this in normal gameplay cuz it does no damage, Hyper will take a chunk out of your health with that and you’re gonna notice just how campy Gore is when every Air Projectile takes half of that HP. Rathalos and Rathian become real nightmares when Hyper and I won’t even give a Hyper Metal Rath a chance. Rajang is the most volatile piece of hot garbage when Hyper. Yian Kut-Ku is just as bad as Yian Garuga when Hyper. Hyper Jho just has too much HP. Hyper S. Queen’s annoying as hell. Hyper Zinogre is fine. Hyper Mizu is fine. Tbh i don’t any monster benefits or gets better with a Hyper Form. 

It turns low tiers like Daimyo and Kecha into horrible little gremlins and horrible monsters like Rajang and Garuga into the worst things the game has to offer

Malice

Either that or they didn’t properly playtest any of this.

doesn’t matter the game, doesn’t matter what monster, I feel that i’ve missed something completely fundamental about these games that makes me so fucking upset with myself. I find myself consistently using 10+ megas and a couple maxes every hunt, i know the name of the game is to “use everything at your disposal” and “if you beat the monster that’s all that matters” BUT GODAMN IT I DONT WANT TO FUCKING SUCK AFTER 100+ KILLS ON THE SAME FOOL. it’s literally just a me issue and maybe being highly commital with hammer but it’s so fucking frustrating when i get decent clear times (10-15 min) on wilds AT’s but still get hit enough to be down 2 hotbars worth of fucking resources.

“oh nice i actually got a good run on AT nu udra and only used 2 megas, cool!” nah next run your using all your shit, and your getting gooped for overcommitting. I feel like such a moron like i know exactly where im supposed to be, i’ve fought these fools hundreds of times but sometimes i just don’t, i miss and my flows over it’s like ive never even fought them before even if they’re one of my favorites.

or sunbreak (8-12 min average non afflicted) “lets fight zinogre! he’s pretty telegraphed i can strafe him easy!” yeah for the first half till i get clipped by a tail slam and now i’m not even strafing his slams properly anymore trying to play catchup.

I’m not even mad at my clear times, they’re not even bad. i just use so many godamn resources every hunt that i feel like i haven’t even learned anything ever. you’d think with a thousand hours i’d have learned to not be a fucking moron but idk i’m just upset with myself.

Longsword: this bitch ass actually puts down the timed barrel bomb to proc their spirit thing. I thought cool, but then they did it while the monster was down and it knocked me down TWICE

Chargeblade: carted twice

Hunting horn: the chill one, or so I thought. It seemed he disconnected (hoping he didn't rage quit after the cbs 2 carts and just had network problems). Some nice buffs and it was the both of us at first but man

After the party leader left(HH), the other two followed suit. I hope it's just network but man that pissed me off so much cuz I used a lucky voucher thinking this was gonna be a chill time. We were at arkveld already too

Also they didn't immediately go for the new monster???? Only the HH did with me and im just ugh

Anyway, farcasted to recoup and won at 30 min with a slay and it still pmo I was just tryna wind down man. I soloed this before but this session left a sour taste in my mouth

This is precisely why I love brute wyverns. They don't fuck around. If they wanna kill you they won't stop fighting until they turn you into a puddle.

Meanwhile this fucking coward and Azure Rathalos just wanna play tag with you. Fucking useless cowards.

To explain: I think DPS checks are okay to a certain extent, EVEN IF I personally hate them. WHAT IS NOT FINE is giving a DPS check to a big-ass, AOE spamming motherfucker who stays in the air as much as an Azure Rathalos. Most of the fight was WAITING for the bitch to land, or waiting for any slinger ammo to be usable, and wouldya look at that, dps check failed. Oh? What's that? You finally succeeded the godforesaken checks while a bunch of annoying NPCS scream in your ear to do something you're PHYSICALLY INCAPABLE OF half the fight? Oh, how quaint, ANOTHER DPS CHECK AGAIN! WHAT YOU THOUGHT WE'D ONLY METAPHORICALLY DRAG YOUR DICK THROUGH GLASS SHARDS ONCE? NO BITCH, AGAIN!

It does help even when he lands he's moving at the speeds of a racecar everywhere, you'd expect such a BIG monster with HUGE, HEAVY-HITTING attacks to be balanced out by being slower, fuck that'd even make sense, especially looking at its hunt in 4u, but NOPE good luck chasing after him and whiffing because he flails wildly at mach 10! I am NEVER doing that hunt again.

THERE ARE OTHER WAYS CAPCOM. THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO ADD CHALLENGE TO YOUR FUCKING MONSTER HUNTER GAMES. YOU MANAGED IT IN THE PAST. SO WHY NOW IS IT SO HARD TO ACCOMPLISH. OH, BECAUSE THE GAME WAS EASY AS FUCK? WELL, HERE'S A QUESTION, WHY WAS IT DESIGNED THAT WAY IN THE FUCKING FIRST PLACE?

GOOFY ASS GAME DESIGN CHOICES. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. DON'T FORGET TO FILL THE SCREEN WITH PIXELS SO I CAN'T SEE SHIT. WHY THE FUCK WAS WYVERIA DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE THAT. IT LOOKS INTERESTING, HELL IT'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITE LOCATIONS. BUT FUCKING HELL, FIGHTING THERE IS A BITCH. OH MY GOD. FUCKING MAKE EVERYTHING THE SAME SHADE OF GRAY FUCK IT. THEN JUST SPAM PARTICLES IN MY EYES BRO. FUCKING HOLY SHIT. SORRY, I HAVEN'T GROWN A PAIR OF EYES ON MY ASS TO LOOK BOTH UP AND DOWN AT THE SAME FUCKING TIME JUST YET, CAN'T WAIT TO GET ROLLED BY A STRAY METEOR FROM GOG 10 STAR. GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE. I CAN'T BECAUSE MY HEALTHBAR GOT DELETED IMMEDIATELY BY A METEOR. FUCKING BULLSHIT.

"GUYS THEY SAY THE GAME EZ MODE, HOW CAN WE MAKE THE GOG FIGHT CHALLENGING, HOW CAN WE MAKE IT FUN? WELL, TIME TO SPIN THE FUCKING WHEEL OF GAME DESIGN! YAAAYY!!! AROUND IT GOES!! ADD ANOTHER FUCKING CAN'T SEE SHIT!!!!"

NO!!! STOP FUCKING DOING THAT. OH MY FUCKING GOD IT HAS TO BE SOOOO REALISTIC AND TO CAPCOM REALISTIC MEANS IT HAS TO FUCKING LOOK LIKE REAL LIFE WHICH LOOKS LIKE TOTAL SHIT COMPARED TO OLD GEN WHERE THERE IS A BILLION TRILLION FUCKS OF SHIT FLYING AROUND. CAN'T SEE SHIT. GOD DAMN. FUCKING HELL. .

FUCKING HELL.
IT'S A FUCKING MADHOUSE. FIX YOUR FUCKING GAME DESIGN. AAAAAA!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

just recently started playing 4 Ultimate using only the "new" weapons (CB/IG, 46 and 27 uses for each respective weapon) and so far i've been loving it. How in some cutscenes the camera sometimes makes a focus on my character with her dumb smile always brings joy to my heart.

BUT YOU KNOW WHO PIERCED MY CHEST WITH HIS BARE PURPLE CLAWS AND RIPPED THE HOPES AND DREAMS OF A JOYFUL EXPERIENCE PLAYING 4U?! YES!!! YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT, SHAGARU "I-GOT-NO-OPENINGS" MAGALA.

THERE ARE-... IN FACT. WORDS THAT CAN DESCRIBE HOOOW MUUUUUUCH I HATE THIS GOLDEN PRICK and by extension HIS FUCKASS SON BUT I CAN'T USE THEM OR I WOULD GET IIIINMEDIATLY BANNED FROM HERE. THIS MUSTARD-COLORED IGUANA DOESN'T HAVE THE EQUIVALENT OF IRL RABIES, IT HAS THE EQUIVALENT OF WORLD-ENDING ZOOMIES, I'M SURE THAT IF HE STOPPED MOVING FOR MORE THAN FIVE SECONDS THE QUEST WOULD HAVE ENDED RIGHT THEN AND THERE DUE TO HIM DYING TO AIR LOSS AND SUFFOCATION. like most sharks when they stop moving, yeah, like them.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAD THIS MOTHERFUCKER AS ONE OF MY FAVORITES PRIOR TO PLAYING GEN U AND NOW 4U. WHEEEEN THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO ATTACK. AM I SUPPOSED TO ATTACK AT ALL?!? THERE'S ALWAYS A GODDAMN FOLLOW UP AFTER EVERY SINGLE THING HE DOES. AM I DUMB FOR BRINGING CHARGE BLADE?! IS THIS THING RESISTANT TO MOUNTING OR WHY THE HELL DID I HAD TO DO THREE WHOLE AERIAL ATTACKS TO START THE MOUNT MINIGAME? WOULD THIS DOGSHIT EXCUSE OF A MONSTER WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IF I USED IG INSTEAD? I WILL NEVER KNOW CUZ I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT HIS UGLY FACE EVER AGAIN AFTER THE URGENT QUEST IN THE CARAVAAN

No. Ya know what? I'm not done with the follow-up and attack patterns, i've got more to say about this.

IF THIS THING EVEN HAS PATTERNS TO BEGIN WITH.

"ARE YOU DONE EVADING MY TRIPLE-BUBONIC PLAGUE-EXPLOSIONS? GREAT! HAVE A QUICK ARM-SWIPE MOFO"

"OHH RIGHT, WATCH THIS. I'VE GOT THIS NEW MOVE CALLED I LAUNCH A SINGULAR BALL OF RABIES AND SOME-FUCKING-HOW TWO MORE LITTLE BALLS APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE AND HIT YOU WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SAFE LMAO GO GET A NULLBERRY FOR THAT"

"Ouch... That was very mean. LET ME FLY OUT OF REACH SO I CAN SCREAM HOW MUCH I LOVE EVADING CHILD SUPPORT. OH- ALSO... do you remember my triple cholera-ball explosion? WELL NOW I DO ANOTHER ONE AS A FOLLOW UP LOL LMAO GET REKT"

and when i think... When i think it's finally my time to shine as the hunter that carries the dreams of those i swear to protect... When i think i can put an end to this misery and bring peace to everyone, humans, wyverians, and even monsters that make up the complex ecosystem of MonHun... A FUCKING RNG-FOUNTAIN-OF-RABIES ERUPTS RIGHT UNDER MY FEET AND TAKES AWAY MY CHANCE AT LANDING A FUCKING SUPER AMPED ELEMENTAL DISCHARGE. WHOOO THE FUCK THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA TO ADD RNG EXPLOSIONS TO AN ALREADY HORRENDOUS FIGHT. HOOOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO REACT TO AN ATTACK THAT I CAN'T PREDICT OR EVEN SEE TO BEGIN WITH?!? "I WANT TO HEAL" WHOOPS, LANDED TOO CLOSE TO AN EXPLOSION BEHIND YOU. "A BRIEF OPENING... I'M GONNA ATTACK NOW-" LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER MF AN RNG-EXPLOSION GENERATED RIGHT UNDER SHAGGY SO FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR PITYFUL EXCUSE OF AN ATTACK. At least Gore is too stupid to even think about doing even a half of his evolution's dumb shit, he still awakens the most primal feeling of wrath inside me, but not as much as the golden iguana.

I had to sit throught the "end" credits with the most blank face after... I don't even remember how much it took me to kill this fucker... 20 minutes?... I really, really liked the end credits but i couldn't express an once of joy BECAUSE SHAGARU AND HIS HORRID FIGHT TOOK ALL THE LIFE AND WHIMSY I HAD LEFT, and the worst thing is that i will eventually see his fucking ugly-ass face again because I WANT to "complete" this game. I also can't believe how this game managed to give Gravios aura in his cutscene only for his fight to still be horrible, like Shagaru and Gore's fights. Khezu is a fucking bum btw Giggi is better.

I know, SOS players aren't reliable, etc etc

BUT

The amount of players seemingly not knowing any of the Fights mechanics is infuriating as Hell. One would think that by the time you reach 10* AT JIN, you should somehow have learnt about the Nova and how to stop it. But alas, people haven't. Why am I consistently the only one going for the lower back plate when Jin is toppled? Why do people keep going for leg topples after the back plate is broken, but the tail and/or face still being intact, wasting premium opportunities to destroy his upper back and therefore getting rid of any good chance to make the hunt so much easier. And then, they cart to the Nova because "Jin under Boulder, must drop boulder", ending in no Boulder being left to drop and take Cover behind.

And it isn't just a HR thing, plenty of people HR300+ that just seem to never have done the fight. The other Hunt I was watching a 650+ GL Player constantly getting hit, and, during openings, ALWAYS going for a nonsensical Hitzone. We still haven't destroyed the Face? Lemme go for the top backplate, bc reasons. Oh, we finally are able to damage the top Plate? I'll just keep hitting the lower one/face/whatever, cause losing 2 secs of dps in order to move to the Spot one needs to hit to get rid of the Nova doesn't satisfy the Monkey "need more numbers" brain as much. Needless to say, we lost the Hunt to a Nova.

This is just the pinnacle of people being completely braindead in the fight, I don't even wanna get started on Armour and Skill choices, that's a whole different rant.

And yes, I know that 1. this is nothing new and 2. that I am probably screaming into a void, since most people that I adress with this are probably not gonna go and read an MH Sub, but still, I needed to vent....

Yeah so Wilds is cool. I definitely love maining Charge Blade, with incredible design choices such as - Oh you want to play SAED spam? Go poke a wound.

My brother in Christ the DB player has popped fifteen fucking wounds this hunt and there are none left for me.

I would like my fucking kaboom back, please and thank you. No, I don't want to AED first. Your monsters are rapidly depleting their ketamine supplies while making it impossible for any longer-duration moves to be used outside of topples.

Just give me the moveset that World and 4U had. Nerf it to hell and back for all I care. But give me my fucking explosions. Yes, I can indeed play Savage Axe just fine. Yes, I certainly can solo AT Arkveld with the current state of CB. But I want my fucking explosions because that is what makes the weapon fun for me.

Hey bro so we added offset attacks to the expa-

Dude I don't give a fuck. If you're going to force me into a specific playstyle instead of just presenting an "optimal" strategy for maximum DPS and providing other options, then I'm just not going to buy your game.

Wilds was the first title in the series that I "finished" not because it was fun, but because I wanted to be done with it. I dropped it after 50 hours despite my World playtime exceeding 600, and my 4U count reaching well past 2000.

Sorry guys, but I think I'm done. I'm glad some of y'all are having fun but I don't know that Monster Hunter is for me any more. I'm tired of both the monster and hunter being on crack, the lack of preparation, the excessive streamlining, the inane DPS checks, and the continued forced gimmicks just to be able to play with the weapon that I grew up using.

A game for everyone is a game for no one.

Don't get me started on how they butchered my boi Gogmazios. I can't even get excited for new endgame content because it is almost always, inevitably plastered with some shitty gimmick. I would like to fight big tar boi, not the camera. Somehow this was a solved problem on the 3DS...

That is all.

Joly shit you ugly fucking duck, you keep to bouncing off my weapon, you have the urge to call a fucking jaggi and waste my absolute time wasting all my heals. I genuinely hope every descendant you have each monhun series gets disease and mutation until your qurufucko species goes extinct

Diablos is really a conceptual failure. The gimmick is that it digs, which is to say it becomes invincible for a while and then performs an attack, but you can get around it with sonic bombs. The trouble in FU is that you can only carry 10 sonic bombs, while Diablos will dig 233 times per quest on average, and will take anywhere from about 5-20 seconds to resurface despite only targeting the position you were at when he went underground. According to my advanced calculations, that means you will spend 4660 seconds per quest walking 5 steps to the side and then taking a coffee break because Diablos can’t be arsed to pick up the pace once he knows you can’t hit him.

Also Diablos will stay underground when you aren’t around, and the guild balloon isn’t around in the desert during the day, so if you lose track of it so you may as well just abandon the quest and actually paintball it next time because you sure aren’t finding him for the next 10 minutes. Diablos has an impeccable ability to extend a 15 minute affair to 40 minute headache.

This is all made funnier by the fact that Diablos is completely mogged by Monoblos, in a game where they famously have almost no differences. The difference maker is the death rage a few monsters in FU get, where every single hit will enrage them when low on health. The enrage state seems to double the likelihood of the Bloses digging. Monoblos lacks this death rage and rages less often to begin with, but when low on health Diablos just stops fighting you because he has an insatiable compulsion to dig. Also Monoblos gives you 4 carves, because he’s just a nice guy like that. Naturally CAPCOM picked Diablos to return for all future games, and he’s sucked in all of them. MHW is my favourite version, because he was nerfed into a total joke and I can spend less energy thinking about it.

Dev 1: “Good work guys, the new arena for mh4 is complete. It features a gate that can be used to divide the arena in two.” Dev 2: “Wow, we are geniuses, let's make some quests that take place in it.” Dev 3: “Throw in a brute tigrex with a stygian zinogre, and let's use that stygian again, but this time with a zinogre, and make them both frenzied”. Dev 1: “Alright, these quests feature two monsters that can be challenging to deal with at the same time and it would be really helpful for the players to somehow be able to only be concerned with one, so let’s make sure to disable the gate feature.” Dev 2: “Wow, we really are geniuses.” What a stupid fucking idea. Couldn’t give a shits less in mh3u’s arena when two pickles peeked through the smoke to fuck me in the ass like a shared fleshlight. BUT YOU PUT A FUCKING GATE IN THIS MAP, WHY’D YOU DISABLE IT. Oh yeah, WITH THE LEDGES THAT FUCK YOU OVER. YOU THINK THE ARENA NEEDS LEDGES, SURE LETS HAVE SOME VERTICALITY SO WE CAN FIT SOME LEDGES. WE LOVE LEDGES AND CLIFFS SO MUCH WE DECIDED TO MAKE THE BUMFUCK MAP OF 1000 CLIFFS! “Hrrrr, you want to use the gate? The one on the map? Hrrrr, nah you dumb fuck.” Still completed those quests, yet it's annoying knowing that the gate, THAT THEY PUT IN THE FUCKING MAP FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF SEPARATING MONSTERS, is worth jack while two shitfaces spitroast me. Fuck these quests, fuck goldian and silverlos dual quests, and a special fuck to stygian whose on drugs while I get none.

My ass is sleeping in bed when I wake up, still half asleep and have a vision saying "Hunt a zinogre" over and over again, not letting me sleep

WTF AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WHEN ITS IN THE AIR????????

WYH DOES IT HAVE THE ONE ATTACK THAT THROWS YOU TO TYHE GROUND EVEN WITH ROCK STEADY ON????????? !!!!!!!!!

WHY IS DOES ITS HEAD HAVE A DAMAGE ZONE WHEN IT SUMMONS LIGHTNING!!!!!!!!??????????

WHY DOES ONLY SPECIFIC SPOTS ALLOW FOR WALL BANG???????

FUCKLING WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

no stories 3 tag so i had to make due. either way the title says it all. to preface, i just beat arkveld, i’m pretty late-game if not endgame myself but winning the fight wasn’t even fun. for some damn reason the buttheads at capcom decided to slide in a dumbass gimmick at the START OF THE ARKVELD FIGHT.

first off, they don’t give you any hints on what you’re supposed to do in the first few turns. because arkveld just fucking blasts you to hell taking two hearts off of you with his ultimate, then the game says “oh btw you gotta use ratha but like charge him up lol” the fuck does “charge him up” mean!?! also you couldn’t tell me that before? i had deviljho out previously because arkveld is typically weak to dragon but you’re saying i gotta use ratha? alright cool now i’m dead. back to the fucking internet i go!!!!!!

now i learn that you gotta give him a large attack boost which the game gives you (thank God) in the form of mega demondrugs. in a blue chest at the start of the arena.

(side rant: really fucking smart of you capcom to tuck those very useful items right in a little corner pocket in the form of a BLUE CHEST that is located in a BIG BEAUTIFUL BLUE ASS CRYSTAL ARENA)

i mean, arkveld obviously isn’t the only one with a gimick but the other ones are FUCKING SENSIBLE. malzeno’s gimmick can be outhealed or ignored, the invasives gimmick is told to you by the clues you find around the arena and even then you only have to repel them, you’re not gaining much of anything special by killing them and doing so is optional.

when I’m playing a game where getting oneshot is REALLY DAMN EASY. I would AT LEAST like to avoid gimmicks that require me to eat a fucking nuke to the face before you tell me how to counter it. Fuck off.

Replaying Monster Hunter World and my god fighting Bazelgeuse is a solid reminder of why I took a break from the world. The nerf he got in Rise was well needed cause holy shit in World Fighting Bazelgeuse is a healing simulator.

Get stunned by windpressure, then scale lands next to you, then detonates while you're still trying to recover from wind pressure. Then, ground tremors. Good luck hitting him from literally fucking anywhere unless you're using a ranged weapon.

And the Roar Spam. The dude will roar after every second damn attack. And his armor the earliest source of mitigating that shit unless you want to sacrifice defense for weaker armor.

Im so over this Monster's shit man.

this stupid dumb idiot just fucking rams her face into the wall and combos me to death like-

STOP JOINING HUNTS AND DYING TO THE NOVA.

STOP JOINING HUNTS WITHOUT BIND RESISTANCE.

STOP JOINING HUNTS WITH NO DEFENSE.

😭😭😭

Piece of shit

The fact that you have to forge the same armor set twice for every piece of equipment in the game, with no difference other than visuals, is annoying when they literally could have made it one armor set and given you both versions as layered armor.

I know I don't have to forge EVERYTHING, but I don't think I need to explain myself there.

Thoughts?

Ok, so Zoh Shia caught me slipping and hit me with the first of two "double arm slams with explosion bullshit" combo. That's fine. It happens. Tenacity procs. That's why it's there. So I'm laying there, chillaxing with an hour's worth of i-frames as Zoh Shia does the second slam and everything's cool. Because you can do just that. Just lay there, let Zoh get it out of his system, then stand up and dust yourself off. I've done it dozens of times. 100% success rate...

UN. FUCKING. LESS.

YOU'VE GOT DIPSHIT TEAMMATES THAT WANT TO BE THE COOL GUY THAT HAPHAZARDLY SHOOTS WYLK CRYSTALS WITH ELEMENTAL SLINGER PODS WITHOUT ANY GOGDAMN AWARENESS OF WHERE YOUR TEAMMATES FUCKING ARE! I LITERALLY GOT FUCKING CARTED OUT OF MY TENACITY PROC BECAUSE MR. EINSTEIN DECIDED HE SHOULD DETONATE THE CRYSTALS RIGHT ON TOP OF ME AFTER ZOH MADE THEM WITH HIS EXPLOSIONS!

DEAR FUCKING GENIUSES WHO USE SLINGERS AGAINST ZOH - THE EXPLOSIONS HIT YOUR TEAMMATES. FUCKING PAY ATTENTION. I'M TIRED OF HAVING TO STOP TO EAT A NULLBERRY BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO INFLICT DRAGONBLIGHT ON ME. OR THUNDER BLIGHT, BECAUSE WHY WOULD I RISK GETTING STUNNED AGAINST MR. ONE SHOT HIMSELF?

HOLY FUCKING HELL. WE WERE LITERALLY AT SKULLS IN THE FINAL PHASE BEFORE OUR LAST CART WAS GONE. WE WOULD'VE HAD ANOTHER IF YOU JUST FUCKING PAID ATTENTION TO YOUR NO HEALTH TEAMMATE YOU FIRED YOUR SLINGER TOWARDS.

AND THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME SHIT LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME EITHER, OH NO. ANOTHER TIME, MR. COOL GUY MCDICK-SLINGER FLINCHED ME AS I WAS TRYING TO REPOSITION OUT OF ANOTHER OF ZOH'S ATTACKS. THIS DELAYED ME ENOUGH THAT I ATE SHIT AND TOOK A CART BACK TO FUCKING CAMP.

JESUS CHRIST. ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. AT LEAST TRY TO PRETEND THERE ARE OTHER PLAYERS IN YOUR SOS QUEST.
