Monster Hunter: Rise (Switch, PC, Game Pass, PS4, PS5) - B A S E D

Lost my mind when Sunbreak started off the Direct. The name being opposite of Iceborne is a nice touch. This is where the real game starts my dudes >,>

Going to make some early predictions for new subspecies/returning monsters:
- at least 3 out of Zamtrios, Tetsucabra, Agnaktor, Great Jagras and Gravios come back since their young forms are in the base game (my money is on Zam, Tetsu and Agnaktor)
- Nerscylla since we need more bugs
- Blast element Almudron with explodey mud
- Fire element Bishaten that's eaten some really hot peppers or throws hot coal or something
- Sleep element Goss Harag
- Magnamalo but angrier and with more explosions
- Kirin, Nergigante, and Lunastra as the first wave of returning dragons
- Fatalis as a later update because what's g rank without him

Remind me to check back in 9 months to see how close I got

Classic or World redesign Kirin though

I never actually got to Kirin in World because I got bored trying to grind my HR high enough to unlock it lol

They did more than I was expecting for the PC port surprisingly. I plan to get a decent PC early next year and will gladly play Rise again on it.

As for Sunbreak, very little info but I kinda also expected as much. We're gonna be drip fed a lot of info until release lol. Great to see the Crabs back too.

Has anybody else given the PC demo a go?

Confirmation on not having crossplay is a bummer. I expected no cross save but I'm also disappointed that we will have to double dip on paid DLC. Wish there was at least some way to link accounts.

This is on PC now :toot:

Did anybody else pick it up? I double-dipped like I did with World, but will probably sell the switch copy and stick with PC - much prefer the the smoother frames and higher resolution :datass:

The lack of cross-save is pretty crap from Capcom mind you.

I haven't even got the base game yet :lol:

Neat

I've played a couple of times recently in some co-op, working through event quests as a much better way of raising my HR than grinding rampages. I'm in the 90s now so close, I would like to reach HR100 and finish that content before Sunbreak.

I've cleared most stuff apart from a few of the Apex rampages (Zinogre is an absolute dickhead and i hate him (but also i love him)) but there are still a lot of weapons and armour sets that I'd like to forge before Sunbreak rolls around. Although I guess armour is less pressing given that the G rank stuff will end up replacing it all anyway.

Looking forward to getting back into this for daybreak, though I played it so much in such a short space of time I feel like I'll have forgotten all the controls :lol:

iswydt

The controls will return like muscle memory

That was a nice tasty chunk of info :toot:

For anyone who can't be bothered watching the whole thing:
- Releases 30th June, pre-orders now open, 13gb patch for the base game to add Sunbreak content and rebalance various things accordingly
- New locale: The Citadel, which looks to include a few different biomes within it including ice areas and forests
- New monster: Garangolm, a big Shadow of the Colossus looking ape beasty that gets mad and attacks with fire element on one arm and water on the other
- New monster: Blood Orange Bishaten, which lobs exploding pinecones at you (called it!)
- Astalos is also confirmed to be returning
- Sunbreak content is accessible once you beat the Serpent Goddess of Thunder quest
- New hub area called the Elgado Outpost, a research facility with a new cast of characters
- Story seems to centre around Lunagaron, Garangolm and Malzeno who are named "The Three Lords"
- New Wirebug actions include some sort of shield for bowgun and a dive attack for dual blades
- Snazzy outfits with the deluxe edition and amiibo

All looks pretty good to me, was hoping for a few more monster reveals but I guess they'll be drip-feeding us with new info over the next couple of months. Also, did anyone else think that Minayle looks like she could be a grown up version of Little Miss Forge from 4U?

Edit - don't think the price was mentioned on the stream but the US eshop has Sunbreak up for $39.99, so probably around the £30 mark here (not sure if it's on UK eshop yet but the browser version doesn't seem to have it from what I can tell)

I'd be all over this is if it wasn't out at the end of June, already getting Mario Strikers and Fire Emblem Warriors 2 in the same month. Will probably get when it's cheaper.

Shocked to see it's £36. Goodness...

Not really, if it's anything like Iceborne it'll have more content not yet announced - It won't just be the stuff in the post above (The 'flagship' new monster is never the endgame one for example).

Given they used to sell the expanded versions as literally a whole separate game, £36 isn't too bad - MH expansions usually add nearly as much content as the base game so it's probably going to be worth it in the long run. Does sting a little that it's not a direct conversion from the US price though, 30 quid would have been a bit nicer.
