Why does recorded dialogue just stop at a certain point? I reached a place in one of the later chapters where none of the characters speak outside of cutscenes. Up until now characters and vendors, even traders, audibly speak or make noises when I interacted with them. I hit a certain “ancient” village and now not a single character makes …

Why does recorded dialogue just stop at a certain point? I reached a place in one of the later chapters where none of the characters speak outside of cutscenes. Up until now characters and vendors, even traders, audibly speak or make noises when I interacted with them. I hit a certain “ancient” village and now not a single character makes even a peep. Did Capcom just run out of VO budget?

I think I preferred the series when I thought it occupied a unique fantasy universe where people hunt monsters to survive the perilous world they live in. Now that it’s another post-apocalyptic allegory for unchecked progress that gets played out in four out of five JRPGs, I’m kind of disappointed Capcom isn’t aiming their sights at less trodden themes.

I will never not think the carving time limit is not meant to be punitive. It’s also a terrible design choice. I was just fighting a Rathalos and didn’t notice I severed its tail until I got to its nest. I didn’t have enough time to carve the Rathalos and get back to the tail in the adjacent area. Terrible …

It’s truly tragic that this game teaches children that the optimal degree to which a steak should be cooked is well done. Shameful.

Why is it so hard to adjust the magnification level in the map? If I want to slowly zoom in or out of the map, I have to ever so slightly hold the R1 or R2 button. But if I press a little too hard (and I mean an almost imperceptible amount) the map will rapidly zoom in or out. …

Why is it so hard to adjust the magnification level in the map? If I want to slowly zoom in or out of the map, I have to ever so slightly hold the R1 or R2 button. But if I press a little too hard (and I mean an almost imperceptible amount) the map will rapidly zoom in or out. Out all the way to a region map that basically so small it’s useless, and in all the way until you’ve magnified it to the point that you no longer have any context for your surrounding area. It’s infuriating.

It’s like in their quest to make this game more accessible, they simplified all the hunting and actual gameplay but didn’t spend a single second considering that their obtuse and almost unusable UI might be what actually needs to be addressed to make the game accessible to a larger audience.

I remember when a monster would run off to another location and I’d have to use environmental clues to actively track that monster down before the time ran out.

Now we just press up in the d-pad.

I enjoy this game but it really does have the worst UI/UX I’ve ever experienced.

Gemma: check out these armour decorations you can use to add status effects to your armour! You can add them to your armour in your tent.

Me, when visiting tent: there is no way to add decorations to your armour despite following the precise instructions provided in a text pop-up when Gemma teaches you about decorations.

MH Wilds: oops, yeah …

I was fighting an Ajarakan and we were in the basin near a flood of oil. There was a dark reflective sheen on the slick covering the ground. As the Ajarakan’s body began to heat up and glow a fiery red from pressure and friction I could see that red reflected in the black mirror beneath it. It was pretty …

I was fighting an Ajarakan and we were in the basin near a flood of oil. There was a dark reflective sheen on the slick covering the ground. As the Ajarakan’s body began to heat up and glow a fiery red from pressure and friction I could see that red reflected in the black mirror beneath it. It was pretty breathtaking. I’m sad I didn’t think to snap an image.

A monster showed up during one of the cut scenes and I said, audibly to no one by me, “what the hell is that”? A title appeared on the screen that read The Black Flame and I exclaimed, once again out loud to myself, “awww hell yeah!”

The UI in this game is a crap shoot. If you’re playing with a DualSense controller, the touchpad opens the map and the options button opens the menu. But if a notification pops up on your screen alerting you to a nearby monster, the touch pad becomes the dismiss button and the options button opens the map 🤦🏽

My god the outfits. And the variations! There are literally so many combinations I love I have decision paralysis.
