Yes to a degree. Overall tho its still Monster Hunter.

Still nothing like a dmc or bayonetta or ninja gaiden etc., but it is def the most combo focused & fastest in the series so far. Wirebug also adds a lot.

There is a demo on switch to try too, if u have one.

Im always Longsword gang since the PSP days but im also part of Switch Axe gang since MH3U, while been dabbling in bow n arrow since generations n world

You'd probably like Dual Blades, Longsword or Insect Glaive if youre looking for faster combat that can also do combos.

Weapons like Hammer, Gunlance & Greatsword are more slow, direct & specific/deliberate with their gameplay & unforgiving.

Lance, Sword Shield & Hunting Horn are more defensive/supportive.

Light n Heavy Bowgun & Bow n Arrow are range, but Bow n Arrow is a lot quicker at firing, light bowgun is better mobility & heavy bowgun has heavy hits that require set up like a sniper, turret or rocket launcher.

Switch Axe & Charge Blade are "unique experimental" weapons. They are like longsword mixed with greatsword plus their own twist.

Remember, weapons in these MH games play COMPLETELY different from one another. From mechanics, to movement, to combos & specials etc.

Im personally a Longsword & Switch Axe main user, while once in a while i'll use Bow n Arrow.

I wouldnt call it clunky, just strategic & technical, & every weapon class is really its own class for specific playstyles, players & purpose.

Not every class is for everybody, but there is at least one class for somebody

Finally got the switch and downloaded rise

There a squad going on itt?

Yeah

Das wassup

Really enjoying Rise. Got a decent early game long sword build already. Any people got a squad in here? Trying to hop on discord and grind

Kinda wanna master Longsword since it’s so OP compared to Worlds

I make it look like DMC the way I use dual swords

Yeah I’ve been using dual swords, switch axe, and hammer. I love the mobility dual swords give you with demon mode.

I’m liking the tower defense mode a lot. Reviews were saying it wasn’t good but I’m having a lot of fun with it tbh.

How’s online for those who have played it??

I love laying exploding barrels next to sleeping monsters

y’all making me wanna pick World back up, i only did a couple of Iceborne hunts before i got burnt out on it wish i had a Switch for this

Every action you make should be deliberate button mashing isn't really rewarded in monster hunter. You can get away with it with dual blades but not always.

not that I know of but we should make one

My fc is 6824-5465-6985

Pretty cool for the most part. I’ve only played with one group that was terrible

How do gathering halls work. Can you see other players in them? And when the mission is completed do you all return to the gathering hall?

I’m not quite sure. My online experience so far was me doing a couple hub quests and allowing people to join my session or me searching for a lobby to join and each time I didn’t see anyone I just saw gamer tags unfortunately

Just sent you a friend request aswell

Sounds like world multiplayer. I accepted it. I tend to avoid multiplayer until I get into high rank or start struggling. But once I get strong I really like playing online.

Yea same here. I just dove into it to see if the connection was solid and smooth. Right I’ve just been farming for builds

Gathering halls just like every other game before world, you can explore the whole town and everyone's running around. But it caps it to 4 people per lobby. When you finish a quest you stick with the same people
