If you haven't played Rise yet, and you have someone to play with, you might want to give it a shot since it does get dirt cheap. It does start out easier, but it also has a sharp difficulty spike during the second half of the main game. Plus, I found the the final boss to be one of the hardest in the series.
I’m very hyped for Monster Hunter Wilds myself. Not too worried about it supposedly being easier. Loved both World and Rise. Played the Wilds beta and loved what I played there as well. I got the Premium Deluxe Edition pre-ordered and ready to go when it launches on Friday.
The last Monster Hunter game I played was on Wii. I didn't get very far, lol.
A couple years later when that first big Wii u drought hit. I ended up buying the Ultimate version for the Wii U, and finally figured out how to play the game. Glad I gave it that second chance. Turned into one of my favorite series of the past 10 years.
Really would like to play more Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii. Only played it very briefly. Also want to grab Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate for the Switch. It goes on sale for quite cheap these days.
Sad to see Monolith go. They had mostly great games in their history:
Shame about Monolith. I really enjoyed the F.E.A.R. and Condemned games. Was interested in seeing how Wonder Woman game might have turned out.
Really enjoying Echoes of Wisdom. I've completed the first 2 major area's so far. Playing this reminds me how long it's been since the last top down Zelda game. If I recall correctly that was Link between Worlds on the 3DS way back in 2013. The grand 3D zelda's are great fun, but there's something magical about these more compact adventures. The brevity of it all seems to alleviate it even further, where the whole thing just tightly slots together. Cutscenes don't take a second longer than they need to be, animation is succint and clearly readable and the whole thing isn't ashamed to just be a videogame.
The inclusion of fast travel points is definitely a concession to the modern age and younger gamers, but with a world so compact and wonderfully realised, I don't see why you'd ever want to use them.
Tri was my entry point into the series as well. It's sad that the underwater battling hasn't made a return. It brought something unique to the gameplay and allowed for some interesting monster designs.
R.I..P. Gene Hackman. I most remember him from The French Connection and Unforgiven.
I first tried Monster Hunter with the first game on the PS2. Rented it and tried it out. Was entirely perplexed by it and only briefly played it before returning it. Didn’t try the franchise out again until Tri on the Wii but World was where everything clicked for me and hooked me on the franchise.
Even if you die a thousand times the game doesn't offer you any accessibility options.
Edit: did it. Once you realise that there are two moving saws at different speeds it's not bad.
R.I.P, Gene Hackman. He will always be my Lex Luthor.
No carbon monoxide detected.
People do some crazy shit due to carbon monoxide poisoning. I've read stories of people who can't account for hours of their lives.
Could be bad food poisoning and they fed one dog a piece of something.
