Is Monster Hunter Rise hot garbage or is my brain broken by Fromsoft games?
I put in hundred of hours into Monster Hunter World when it came out and since then picked up all the Fromsoft games and loved them. Today I broke from peer pressure and bought Rise and holy shit this is the most convoluted and congested game I've ever played. If this is anything like how World was my memory is failing because I have no idea how I played a game like this so much
Every minute there's a new tutorial pop up (that required 3 button presses to dismiss) full of made up words that sometimes they just don't explain, there's 5 different zones in the hub, 4 different places to get 3 different types on quests, 6 difference NPCs (4 of which seem to do the same job), 14 weapons with big combo lists, every action is both a mess to navigate in the UI mid-fight and also takes 8 years to actually do and it has NO LOCK ON
Why is it when people want to mock AAA games for their over explaining, hand holding, convoluted nonsense and dated game design no one is pointing to all the huge flaws the monster hunter games just openly flaunt around. I don't get it.
