Monster Hunter Rise demo impressions thread (update with new mission out now)

HH was a little slower pre-World so I never found it as satisfying to use solo than a hammer. The only time I really used it solo was when I found a completely broken one from an expo in MH4U. They really made some great changes to it in World/Iceborne that made it feel great, maybe I'll feel the same after some more time with it in Rise.
Huh?
To get out of the lvl 3 charging swist you press X+A first, right? to get the swing in the opposite direction?
I can replicate your vid till the hit on 3 secs. After that it just stops no matter what I press xD
Oh, I should also mention that if you switch from blue charge to yellow charge, your hunter will dash forward (great gap closer!) and you'll get a level 3 yellow charge! So a perfect combo here would be:
From blue charge: (ZR+A), Let go of ZR, spin 4 times before hitting X for the golfswing, tap A until Big Bang combo is finished.
No, the left to right swing is what happens when you exit a level 3 yellow charge spin before spinning 4 times, by pressing X. The clip I linked isn't the perfect combo.
Going from the golf swing straight into big bang sounds like a lot of damage.
Man, I'm loving all these changes to hammer.
It's so good! Blue charge finally allowing hammer bros to have a level 3 charge that doesn't send them into a super risky spin is such a nice quality of life change, too.
The only monster hunter i've had before world was 3rd and life went on, so anyone complaining about missing one game are silly.
I feel so dumb :D
Sorry to bother again. would you mind to tell me the button presses after the left to right swing? I'm stuck.
Extremely. There are literally no weapon tutorials.
From blue charge: (ZR+A), Let go of ZR, spin 4 times before hitting X for the golfswing, tap A until Big Bang combo is finished.
Or, from yellow charge, hold ZR until level 3 charge, then continue as written above from "let go of ZR"
edit - it's important to note that the Big Bang combo will not continue unless you actually hit the enemy. If you whiff any of the Big Bang swings the combo will end!
I've been playing a few missions now and the charge blade still works fine at least.
But in MHW on PS4 pro monsters/animals in the distance were rendered in 15 fps.
In this version it feels like the game itself outputs 30ish fps but a lot of close up monsters and even the character/main monster sometimes is rendered in 15 and the animations are more stumpy.
Am I getting crazy? MHW on my PS4 pro does not feel like this at all and according to the performance video posted earlier this has higher average fps than that. But it feels completely opposite. On the PS5 the 60 fps on everything is nicer of course but I have no issues playing it on the pro either.
I'd really like to play this on the switch :(

I've played a bit with charge blade now and it's 90% same feature set as in MHW. Go look up some video of your weapon of choice for MHW and I'm 100% sure there will be a million tutorial videos for this one as well in a day or so on youtube.
Do not play it "raw", I tried that the first time I did MH and was just completely lost. You need to know how to work your weapon.
This is pretty much where I am with HH as well. I can absolutely see the appeal and why players are having a blast with it. It is a blast now that it has been super easy-moded. I won't even try to say it isn't fun. I will say though that it just feels almost like a totally different and new weapon. Like a Buffing Support Hammer. It was before, but now with the extremely simplified way that songs are activated... it's so very much just faster hammer with a different moveset and buffs that pop out of it.
I am definitely not writing it off or meaning to sound like "BACK IN MY HH DAY!" at all. I have always enjoyed every last tweak and update and rollback that the creators of the series have done since I started on PSP. It's come so very far and I've loved every last minute of it. Well... not Medium Bowgun, never that.
I can't wait to put more time in with it with an actual tree, and see what else is still out there for us to find. My number one curiousity... will there be more complex songs that are not just aa, bb, yy? Will we only have 3 songs max even on later HHs? Alatreon HH had 5 songs, and that wasn't counting Echo Wave Dragon. So I am hopeful there is yet to be at least a bit of complexity we haven't seen.
ah you have to do it against a monster right? I cannot be done by attacking without target?
haha fuck.
Do the first tutorial but don't end the quest until you have some handle on wtf this game is about. Read all the hunter notes in the menu. Good luck!
Finally my first clean kill on Mizu without any carts (LS). Man they really make these demo monsters tough with shit armor and no kitchen lol I was getting bodied and felt like a noob the first few kills.
I get the impression that the new hunting horn is like if insect glaive gave you all 3 extracts at the same time just from hitting the monster or if the charge blade auto powered up both sword and axe mode just by getting 5 phials. Like it's kind of a weird bummer actually?
It fills all your phials if you get attacked while doing it. You can get to fully charged shield and another set of full phials almost instantly at the start of a fight.
TBH I was a bit freaked out over the animations (I had issues keeping track of the monster) so I haven't sidestep much at all just block, charge up and SSAD the monster to death.
I'll try it next mission :)
yea, I tried this in the camp, haha.
Is the big bang something which was added in World? Never played it.
I've really been enjoying the demo for Rise, but I can't play online without so much lag. I've got 250 some odd friends on my friends list. I just discovered the lag is tied to the number of friends on your friends list.
Anyone else in here having that issue?

TFW you find out you have no friends because Monster Hunter functions perfectly. =P
I read online that people said they have the lag issue with their main account!
I don't and have only a few friends, so it really seems to be the problem!
Do we have a monster hunter discord group? Would like to get a game of 4 people again.
Yep, added in World. It's arguably the most satisfying weapon finisher, on part with level 3 true charge slash, imo
I can think of monsters you can stick to 24/7 without any need for fancy tricks. For those it'll be nice to toss in an easy damage buff pretty much everytime a wirebug is up.
Although in general the silkbind mobility fills in a much bigger hole in the Lancer toolkit, yeah.
First time Monster Hunter player, tried the demo and got destroyed by Mizutsune several times, but I can definitely see the appeal in the game. I read a lot of comments about how the demo isn't a great introduction so I think I am interested in trying out the full game, because I can definitely see how I would enjoy this with more practice.
I'm not able to side step at all..
Maybe I'm doing it wrong and the controls are different on the switch but it doesn't feel like MHW in that way at least.
A lot of the sidestep animation skips were removed from MHW some time ago btw (but not the charge cancel I think)
They're not kidding when they say intermediate, they're assuming someone with a decent chunk of hours into the series for Mizu's demo scaling. Don't be put off seeing vets destroy him. Maybe, save him for the end after you've had time to beat up the others and got some solid time in with your weapon of choice.
Oooh. I thought it would net the monster so I could mount it somehow
Mitsuzune is is annoying, especially when you just began playing monster hunter, didn't pull off solo'ing him yet in the demo either as an experienced player, I only had 10 minutes left and I got carted 3 times. If you're in for it you can spar with Azourous or the Graggi to get the feel of the weapons.
This demo is aimed at veteran monster Hunter players to test the online, it's there to challenge them. It isn't an immediate step up where if you can beat Great Izuchi, wno will likely be the first large creature you face, you are ready for Mizusune with it's speed, range, size, aggression and soap/waterblight. In the main game there will be a stack of monsters between Great Izuchi and Mizusune, you're talking at least a dozen hours of play with all that experience you'll have gained on the way, along with having a full meal buff beforehand and armour and skills you'll have tailored yourself. The single player campaign will ease players in, the main complaint is that it does so too slowly, but that's what online play is for. What I recommend people do is to push forward online or in SP until they get stuck and then work on the other for a bit in tandem, as doing quests in SP will open up your village resources for both, and doing quests online will get you better equipment and more experience faster, as hunts are way quicker and you can see what veteran hunters do to save time.
Beat Mizutsune for the first time in multiplayer.
it ended with a rodeo and we spammed the vanity poses to celebrate.
So good.

Anyone else playing on a c9 oled?
The fps are kinda all over the place even right at the start of the first mission. Like if it's going from 25 to 35 and back again all the time.
Is this because i'm playing on my tv? Other people here seem to have a better time in handheld mode.

Your TV wouldn't be doing that.
The framepacing is a bit iffy in the game so you're probably noticing that.
I've done a handful of quests now. Don't love the new GS, but don't hate it either. It's kinda growing on me in fact. More testing is required.
Loving the game so far but I'm still trying to get a handle on how to use the wirebug to move around the map more effectively. Is it possible to climb cliffs without consuming a wirebug charge?

I can't remember me noticing it this bad outside a hand full of games tbh.
It's not unplayable but i wouldn't ever call it smooth or locked.
Maybe it's because i played other locked 60fps titles in the last few weeks but man this sticks out.
