Replaying Monster Hunter World and my god fighting Bazelgeuse is a solid reminder of why I took a break from the world. The nerf he got in Rise was well needed cause holy shit in World Fighting Bazelgeuse is a healing simulator.

Get stunned by windpressure, then scale lands next to you, then detonates while you're still trying to recover from wind pressure. Then, ground tremors. Good luck hitting him from literally fucking anywhere unless you're using a ranged weapon.

And the Roar Spam. The dude will roar after every second damn attack. And his armor the earliest source of mitigating that shit unless you want to sacrifice defense for weaker armor.

Im so over this Monster's shit man.

no stories 3 tag so i had to make due. either way the title says it all. to preface, i just beat arkveld, i’m pretty late-game if not endgame myself but winning the fight wasn’t even fun. for some damn reason the buttheads at capcom decided to slide in a dumbass gimmick at the START OF THE ARKVELD FIGHT.

first off, they don’t give you any hints on what you’re supposed to do in the first few turns. because arkveld just fucking blasts you to hell taking two hearts off of you with his ultimate, then the game says “oh btw you gotta use ratha but like charge him up lol” the fuck does “charge him up” mean!?! also you couldn’t tell me that before? i had deviljho out previously because arkveld is typically weak to dragon but you’re saying i gotta use ratha? alright cool now i’m dead. back to the fucking internet i go!!!!!!

now i learn that you gotta give him a large attack boost which the game gives you (thank God) in the form of mega demondrugs. in a blue chest at the start of the arena.

(side rant: really fucking smart of you capcom to tuck those very useful items right in a little corner pocket in the form of a BLUE CHEST that is located in a BIG BEAUTIFUL BLUE ASS CRYSTAL ARENA)

i mean, arkveld obviously isn’t the only one with a gimick but the other ones are FUCKING SENSIBLE. malzeno’s gimmick can be outhealed or ignored, the invasives gimmick is told to you by the clues you find around the arena and even then you only have to repel them, you’re not gaining much of anything special by killing them and doing so is optional.

when I’m playing a game where getting oneshot is REALLY DAMN EASY. I would AT LEAST like to avoid gimmicks that require me to eat a fucking nuke to the face before you tell me how to counter it. Fuck off.

this stupid dumb idiot just fucking rams her face into the wall and combos me to death like-

STOP JOINING HUNTS AND DYING TO THE NOVA.

STOP JOINING HUNTS WITHOUT BIND RESISTANCE.

STOP JOINING HUNTS WITH NO DEFENSE.

😭😭😭

Piece of shit

The fact that you have to forge the same armor set twice for every piece of equipment in the game, with no difference other than visuals, is annoying when they literally could have made it one armor set and given you both versions as layered armor.

I know I don't have to forge EVERYTHING, but I don't think I need to explain myself there.

Thoughts?

Ok, so Zoh Shia caught me slipping and hit me with the first of two "double arm slams with explosion bullshit" combo. That's fine. It happens. Tenacity procs. That's why it's there. So I'm laying there, chillaxing with an hour's worth of i-frames as Zoh Shia does the second slam and everything's cool. Because you can do just that. Just lay there, let Zoh get it out of his system, then stand up and dust yourself off. I've done it dozens of times. 100% success rate...

UN. FUCKING. LESS.

YOU'VE GOT DIPSHIT TEAMMATES THAT WANT TO BE THE COOL GUY THAT HAPHAZARDLY SHOOTS WYLK CRYSTALS WITH ELEMENTAL SLINGER PODS WITHOUT ANY GOGDAMN AWARENESS OF WHERE YOUR TEAMMATES FUCKING ARE! I LITERALLY GOT FUCKING CARTED OUT OF MY TENACITY PROC BECAUSE MR. EINSTEIN DECIDED HE SHOULD DETONATE THE CRYSTALS RIGHT ON TOP OF ME AFTER ZOH MADE THEM WITH HIS EXPLOSIONS!

DEAR FUCKING GENIUSES WHO USE SLINGERS AGAINST ZOH - THE EXPLOSIONS HIT YOUR TEAMMATES. FUCKING PAY ATTENTION. I'M TIRED OF HAVING TO STOP TO EAT A NULLBERRY BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO INFLICT DRAGONBLIGHT ON ME. OR THUNDER BLIGHT, BECAUSE WHY WOULD I RISK GETTING STUNNED AGAINST MR. ONE SHOT HIMSELF?

HOLY FUCKING HELL. WE WERE LITERALLY AT SKULLS IN THE FINAL PHASE BEFORE OUR LAST CART WAS GONE. WE WOULD'VE HAD ANOTHER IF YOU JUST FUCKING PAID ATTENTION TO YOUR NO HEALTH TEAMMATE YOU FIRED YOUR SLINGER TOWARDS.

AND THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME SHIT LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME EITHER, OH NO. ANOTHER TIME, MR. COOL GUY MCDICK-SLINGER FLINCHED ME AS I WAS TRYING TO REPOSITION OUT OF ANOTHER OF ZOH'S ATTACKS. THIS DELAYED ME ENOUGH THAT I ATE SHIT AND TOOK A CART BACK TO FUCKING CAMP.

JESUS CHRIST. ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. AT LEAST TRY TO PRETEND THERE ARE OTHER PLAYERS IN YOUR SOS QUEST.

After a 7 month hiatus from Monster Hunter because Gog is so genuinely hot dogshit I decided to finally take a crack at AT Arkveld because of all the rage. This is the first monster so visually cluttering and overwhelming that I had to stop because it was genuinely giving me a headache. Fatalis? Savage Omega? Alatreon? Piece of cake because at least with some practice I actually see what the fuck is happening. There's so much happening on screen that trying to decipher the dodge let alone see what's happening is so mind melting that I'm a lot more confused as to what happened to be even be truly angry

As I’m writing this I’m on Shara Ishvalda and as the game is getting harder and harder there’s a few issues that are becoming glaring.

Why is this game obsessed with stunning you. Every creak of the ground or small hit has to leave you immobile for an infuriatingly long time so you can inevitably get hit by another attack inducing more severe stun. It feels like as the monsters get harder I spend less of my playtime playing and instead spend it watching my helpless hunter get walloped around in a constant chain of stunning.

Two, why does this game think the player is faster than they are. This might be an issue in my weapon choice of Switch Axe, but it feels like each monster attempts to one up the last in how endless they’re combos can be and how suddenly they can whip out the next move. I feel like I’m being punished for wanting to play the game when raging Nergigante or Barioth decide to annihilate me for even thinking of taking advantage of what one would think is an attack window.

Anyway I know it will only get worse with Rajang and Fatalis, etc. but I needed to vent.

Tried multiple times with recommendations from people can get past the nerscyla DPS now (appreciate the build for that). But clanky MC clankface decided that mirv spam was the way to go in the last phase . Still haven't beaten him so I'm going to do what's best for my mental state and leave the clanker until Mr so I can curb stomp his metallic ass. And the camp placement is awful too (great idea to the asshat who thought wasting a minute to get back to the final zone was a good idea, really innovative 😑) . Thanks to everyone who gave me tips as builds to try but he isn't worth the effort over my enjoyment of the game and capcom? Fuck you for thinking savage was a good idea

Normal one is fine but savage?

Once and then never again

I don't get it, Capcom. Like...why?

Why is the Kaiser X set so...underwhelming in Sunbreak? Compared to other Elder Dragon sets? It's like Capcom hates Teostra or something. No lvl 4 slots, lvl 1 slots everywhere and...a bizarre skill configuration. Not to mention Teostra doesn't have a Gunlance nor an Insect Glaive, when Chameleos was given a Charge Blade design, and Kushala fcking has its own Dual Blades as well now, while Teostra still has the ugly Blast/Ice Dual Blades forcibly pairing it with Kushala.

For a flagship elder dragon supposed to be represent a flame emperor, even "Teostra Blessing" feels underwhelming compared to the likes of Gore, Arc Chaotic, Ibushi, Narwa, Velkhana... Even friggin normal Espinas, Golden Lune, and mention more.

Does Capcom have something against this monster and what it's supposed to represent?

Kaiser X slot configuration is very poor for its premise. I see it as almost an insult to a monster that's supposed to be an elder dragon.

- Kaiser Crown X: 1-1-1;

- Kaiser Mail X: 1-1;

- Kaiser Vambraces X: 3;

- Kaiser Coil X: 3

- Kaiser Greaves X: 2-1

Like... seriously, Capcom? Seriously? A friggin Espinas set has more slot potential than Teostra who's supposed to make Lao-Shan flee? 🤦🏾 Critical Eye and Critical Boost? Again? Then Master's Touch? What the hell is Teostra Blessing?

Teostra features weapons across these types: Greatsword, Longsword, Dual Blades (paired with Kushala for Blast/Ice), Hammer, Sword and Shield, Lance, Hunting Horn, Switch Axe, Charge Blade, Light Bowgun, Heavy Bowgun and Bow.

No Gunlance nor Insect Glaive for some reason, when Kushala and Chameleos (almost) feature weapons from all types (Kushala is found on all types, while Chameleos lacks SnS and Lance).

I don't really understand why, and I think I'm better off making a proper flame lord set that won't be full Teostra.

I'm much more disappointed than I am angry at this. I had more fun playing with pure Orangaten set. 🤦🏾

FUCK YOU

Brachydios is one of my favorite monsters. I love his design, his theme, his fight, all of it.

...in Iceborne.

Iceborne Brachy is my sweet baby boy. But oh god. Oh god, he's SO bad in 3U, 4U, and GU.

His model is probably one of the single most cartoony looking in the entirety of old gen MH. His head looks too big for his body, and he looks like some Capcom exec's four year old drew him and demanded that their strong new murder dinosaur be added to the newest MH game.

His theme is just sad. It cuts off as soon as it really gets going, whereas his Iceborne theme is one of the greatest I think they've ever composed. The instrumentation in it also leaves a LOT to be desired.

But both of these things PALE in comparison to his god awful abysmal dogshit fight. Even calling it a fight is an insult to the ACTUAL MH monsters. He just spams that stupid fucking back hop and the even worse swing around into the INFURIATINGLY ANNOYING forward explosion line attack. That's ALL HE DOES! I witnessed him do nothing but those two moves for THIRTY FUCKING MINUTES TODAY! It's like he times it perfectly for when you're gonna go in during one of his openings, too!

Semi-related rant: HR6 Guild Hall is the greatest slog I think they've ever created in this entire series, and that's saying something, considering that GU is right there. It's just all of the absolute worst subspecies (Brute Tigrex is just alright) lined up trying their absolute hardest to get you to quit playing the game. The 1st and 2nd gen subspecies were NEVER good, and I don't know why they're so obsessed with putting them EVERYWHERE you need to progress in this fuckass game. I don't understand why 4U gets so much praise for its roster. I would much, MUCH rather fight a handful of new monsters over the same fucking returning monsters from 1st and 2nd gen again and again! Stop bringing them back! 3rd gen had SO many amazing new monsters that are just objectively better versions of the shitty ass 1st and 2nd gen ones, so WHY do only those fuckface bastards keep coming back?!

THERE HAVE TOO MANY FUCKING TIMES. THE MONSTER WAS FLATLINING FOR LIKE HALF THE FUCKING BATTLE. AND THEY KEEP RUNNING AWAY AND GETTING INTO TURD WARS AND THEY KILL ME AT THE VERY SPECH OF THEIR HP AND I FAIL THE QUEST. AND NOW GREAT I NEED TO ENDURE 20 MORE MINUTES OF FIGHTING AND TURF WAR RNG AND ALSO NEED TO RESTOCK ON ITEMS. WHY. CAN I GENUINELY ASK WHY PEOPLE LIKE THIS FUCKING GAME? I AM 80 HOURS IN AND I STILL DONT SEE THE APPEAL. I PREPPED SO MUCH. I HAD THE WEAPON ELEMENT THAT WAS EFFECTIVE AGAINST THE TIGRESS. I MAXED OUT ALL MY ARMOUR. I PREPARED SO MANY DUNG PODS AND I STILL FAILED AND IT STILL TOOK 20 FUCKING MINUTES. 20 FUCKING MINUTES OF MY LIFE WASTED. BECAUSE HE HIT A BULLSHIT STUN COMBO ON ME THAT DECIMATED MY FULL HP. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU ENJOY THIS SHITTY GAME? I DID EVERYTHING AND I STILL FAILED. 20 MINUTES OF MY LIFE WASTED.
Other games like souls games, cuphead, silksong, or other hard modes, at least the bosses don’t take 30 fucking minutes so it’s easy to learn their move set. But here, my mind just becomes numb 15 minutes in. You expect me to be awake for 15 full minutes of the monster just running away and getting to turfs wars in which I waste all my dung pods. How how how how how.

Oh boy this guy makes me want to fight two gogs at the same time. Objectively (In my own opinion the worst boss fight , paired with Extremoth and behemoth) now normal omega I can deal with but savage just turns into captain spam-a-missile and a 30 min timer. Even with the best gear he's making gog and the arch tempers look like a walk in a park that includes At Arkveld. Even with maxed armor and great gog weapons he always manages to pull some bullshit out his ass to get me . Want dps? missile spam. Want to use meta? Tough luck chuckle nuts. This clanker fuck is a horrible difficulty spike . Every time I fight he spams missiles then does his Fuck you - kameha. And nerscyla check we all know the fuckery that is . And to beat him just for omega armor isn't worth it by the end of irt won't be a "yes I beat him!" It will be more "I never want to waste my time on that clanker piece of shit again" . Like I said his regular version isn't an issue his savage is just terrible and more avoid the missile and laser than a fight

I didn't realize the desire sensor ALSO applys to qurious armor augmentation.

I am trying to finish builds for several weapons, such as SA, Lance, and SnS. I have a blast build for SA already, but need to make my elemental ones, which require furius and dragon conversion.

It is worth noting that I need mail of hellfire on several pieces for my Lance and sns sets but have had no luck with those.

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY I HAVE GOTTEN MAIL OF HELLFIRE 3 FUCKING TIMES ON AN ARMOR PIECE, WHICH I ALREADY HAVE MAIL OF HELLFIRE ON FOR ANOTHER BUILD?!? but NOOOOO it wont show up ANYWHERE else and j already fucking know I habe rolled past furious and dragon conversion SEVERAL times when trying to make my raw/status builds.

Fuck off. This feels so much worse than with grinding monsters because at lesst there im playing rhe fucking video game. I am aware that im trying to min-max when i don't necessarily need to, but... what else am i meant to do?

I lost it becayae i rolled mail of hellfire twice in a row like please man what the actual FUCK is this

So it wasn’t enough to have a small ass hit box on him. On top of that he attacks constantly without any breaks. The event quest time limit is ass too. Everything about this fight is bullshit. I main bow and even with fully upgraded safi jiiva armor, at max health, I get one tapped. This is so stupid. How am I supposed to learn if I can’t survive a single attack? How am I supposed to recover when he spews bullshit everywhere? How am I supposed to hit him when his head hitbox is the size of a peanut and he moves around constantly? Fuck whoever made this fight.

Just to be clear I didn't even fight him in Iceborne. I didn't feel like getting back into it when he dropped and probably won't fight him unless I replay World. I wanna be clear I'm not mad about losing a fight I'm mad about how much glaze this mf gets. His design is so fucking boring and his lore is so fucking edgy and stupid. Don't give me that "No his design works because its so basic" Rathalos is a basic ass dragon design and I fuck with him heavy. Now everybody is talkin bout how mayo fatalis is coming to Wilds??? How exciting. I never wanna hear about how this one dragon can actually end the world. I never wanna hear about some dumbass bs like him melting ppl into armor?? or his gear making ppl go insane. I never wanna hear about how he hates humanity because his hatred against humans doesn't even compare to my boundless hatred of him and all of his dumbass fans.

I feel so cucked for wanting to use SAED against Gog because it's the most miserable and boring thing I have ever done. I can't get it to work most of the time and that 2 step SAED is absolute dogshit change.

I can barely get off one on time and the only windows for it are when gog slams down on me, which doesn't happen that often, or when I have phials ready, or during that fuckass dps check where I gotta do the whole fucking ritual to get 1 SAED off, that being said, it does pretty good damage, but it still sucks because god forbid I'm a little too far away from gog, and now I can't even get that off.

HUURR DDUUURR I JUST LOVE IT WHEN THE MONSTERS FUCKING FIGHT EACHOTHER DUURRRRR IT'S SOOOO REALISTIC TO WATCH THEM PUT ON A SHOW AGAIN AND AGAIN BUT AT LEAST IT'S FREE DAMAGE, AAAAAAA FUCKING ASSHOLE GAME MECHANIS. FUCKING FUCK OFF WITH THAT BULLSHIT AND JUST LET A HUNTER COOK, COOK MAN, THIS FUCKING URAAGAN JUST SHOWS UP AND KILLS ME FROM OFFSCREEN? OHH AAAA ITS JUST LIKE REAL LIFE AAAAHAAA. IT'S A MADHOUSE, FUCKING HELL, THIS GAME IS FREAKING ME OUT AND MAKING MY FUCKING ELBOW AND KNEE ACHE AGAIN CAPCOM. IT FUCKING HURRRRTS IT, STOP FUCKING ACHING. SO STOP, FUCKING DOING THAT. STOP. FUCKING ACHING AAAAAAAA!!!. AAAAA!!! FUCKING TURFS WARS, THREE MONSTERS ON THE FUCKING MAP. FUCKING HELL. IT WASNT LIKE THIS BACK IN FREEDOM UNITE. AAAAA!!

PORT THE OLDER GAMES TO PC!!

I really want them to port the older games (for me at least) like MHGU and MH4U to PC with online support. Emulators are cool but imo playing multiplayer games on an emulator just does not feel the same.

This is barely a rage tbh more just sadness. All this AI coding shit has got me thinking about how it'd probably be really easy for them to do it.
