ArcTheLadder | Monster Hunter Rise - (Spontaneous) Rajang, Insect Glaive Casual @ArctheLadder | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
I saw a question mark on the map and wanted to see what it was. Decided it was time to kick its ass.
Looks like Insect Glaive is fine and its moves are really good GASP. My kinsect hits Pukei Pukei for a 99 damage crit or something, or if it's just storing power I'm not exactly certain. My gut says crit, but this game is amazing and I'm having a good time.
I was actually wrong about aerial strength in this game in terms of the developers making a build around it. Shows what happens when you aren't designing shit. It's really cool, once you get Diving Wyvern or whatever Descending Thrust is now called, you get a damage bonus for how many bounces you've performed before doing the Diving Wyvern. Which means air style gets the DEEPS. But not only that, the Kinsect Cancels when you actually have Kinsects that use your weapon's element are insane. I got 99 damage on Pukei Pukei just for bopping it with my Kinsect.
I like this diversity of (combat) playstyles, it's something that the Portable 3rd/Generations team does well. Should probably find out who those combat designers are. But either way, just seeing the potential of this stuff and having nerds lie to my face about how their weapon works just makes me want to talk about shit I care about.
So I really like Rise in the sense of just mechanical function. It's a good toy, let's leave it at that. But I do realize I'm not having my cake and eating it too, as I think the Guild Hall/Gathering Hub has a very lame premise. But that was always something I think the series has always left on the table. It's why I think these games are good like junk food might taste good. And at this point in time, it's hitting the spot. But I do want to go back to games like Bloodborne/Devil May Cry/Dark Souls and whatever.
For now, I'm really enjoying this game for what I've generally liked about Monster Hunter which is that it's a good action RPG that generally feels as rewarding for its action as much as deckbuilding/DPS brain.
