now that ive had some time to play, ive just finished the electric flying squirrel todo-komachi or whatever its called on solo player.
Fundamentally, it does feel like a mh game which is good, and the graphics compared to the old games is defo a breath of fresh air. When youre running through the brush, looks really fucking pretty. Combat feels fun. So far its super easy mode. As bepo said, monsters hang around same-y areas, all gathering points are the same too. It always says "flourishing x" and i never see more than when its not.
box arrangements, and how equipment is organised really annoys me. I never bothered to count but items and mats are separate in your item pouch, technically allowing you to carry more tbf. However, its all split in the item boxes aswell. Im guessing the idea was the declutter the main box. But i had a very particular way of arranging shit - the mats i could let slide because i only really used that for selling which you can still do, but that 4x5 or whatever sized box you get to organise all your equipment is a nightmare. I used to dedicate the bottom 5 squares to armours only, arranging by set and in order from head to feet. Looking at this equipment screen now makes me want to stab my eyes out.
A lot of the game feels a bit clipped in terms of trying to cater to a newer audience, and I can swallow my pride on that. However, that reaches out to combinations aswell. I set out and did the first thing i normally do which was find all the blue mushrooms and honey i can. Blue mushrooms, what are they used for in this game? because i have not bothered or needed to look at the combo list once. Auto combo when some lists are full, my brain isnt equipped to deal with this.
Vigor wasps, well, pretty useless, they always seem to arrive just as youve finished healing, and they take forever to level up compared to your cat for example. As for potions and that, i dont mind the idea, but man muscle memory its hard to beat. The b and a are switched on xbox to wii u controller, and because im playing mh my brain is constantly thinking im holding a wii u controller its that bad.
BBQ spit, someone will die for the murder of the BBQ spit charm.
