Monster Hunter Stories is BACK with a shiny remaster for modern hardware!
I got to review the game and, surprise surprise, really loved my time with it! Let's chat about what makes this game so great!
RTs appreciated!

imagine being so anti-union that you recast the main character of an immensely popular show in its FINAL season just to not even have to discuss the topic. actually gross.
I read the entire series as a teen and yeah its pretty middling
but the concept of magic just being this ancient language that affects reality was really cool, down to when he accidentally curses a lady because he conjugates a verb incorrectly lmao
So a friend sent me some “reviews” for MHWilds and this shit is hilarious. The game isn’t even releasing til next year what are they even talking about.
(Also I guess you can just do reviews for unreleased games on steam?)
I remember when it was reported that the original creators had left the live-action production, many assumed it was cuz netflix wanted it to be edgy and faux-mature
did not guess that it was the exact opposite, that they were babyfying and sanding off the edges of a CARTOON
Netflix pushed for the decision to remove Sokka’s sexism to be removed from ‘AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER’.
Certain areas of Katara’s character have also been removed, including “some gender issues that didn't quite translate from the cartoon.”

So MHWilds
- Has a focus on large environmental events involving monsters
- Is a mainline game, which sometimes do big story set pieces
- has a sand sea
- has a sand ship as part of the gangs tools
JHEN MOHRAN YOUR TIME HAS COMEEEEEEE
i enjoyed the first two seasons enough when they were new but i cannot stomach this obnoxious and aggressively self-aware type of comedy anymore, it is, for the lack of a better word, cringe
Reading as many previews as I can to take personal notes on MHWilds and my head is spinning, this game sounds insane
this isnt all of it yet either good lord
People often claim that Raiden was never mentioned before and hidden in the marketing to keep the new protagonist a secret but Jack actually makes an appearance in Metal Gear: Ghost Babel so he is foreshadowed despite the game being non-canon.
Official render for Gemma, who kinda looks familiar.
"A smithy with the Research Commission. She'll take care of all your weapon and armor crafting needs!" 🤔
#MonsterHunterWilds
my core memory of eragon is that the over-arcing plot was pretty bad but filled with these small bits of solid writing
it was also the first book i ever read that went out of its way to debunk "if you kill the bad guy you are as bad as him"
Its 2010. A new Monster Hunter Game has been revealed. Fans discuss if the series has lost its identity
Its 2018. A new Monster Hunter Game has been revealed. Fans discuss if the series has lost its identity
Its 2024. A new Monster Hunter Game has been revealed. Fans discuss if
fujimoto is what i would call "anti-pretentious".
his characters talk about balls and tits, never flush and never bathe, all of his stories are insane and crass and unhinged
and yet all of his work has this effortless depth to it, its fascinating
• Every locale switches between two distinct "seasons" that change the environment drastically
• Two weapons out on quests
• Slinger, but no Clutch Claw
• MHW like gameplay
• Focus on ecological interactions
• Plot with (prbly superficial) ties to MH4U
we're so back
every time someone says "i wish [kids game] was more adult oriented/mature" its the same schlock; gore and death everywhere
which is ironically an insanely immature conception of adult media
I love how Stardust Crusaders keeps ending up on the "todays hyped shonen" end in these memes when its a nearly 10 yr old adaptation of a 30 yr old manga
reactions to this are so interesting
this isnt the series pivoting into a trend, its a faithful adaptation of material written a decade ago
but because multiverse as a concept has somehow already burned thru public patience, the negative kneejerk is still there
wait so
if villages are comfirmed to be seamless parts of the locales tjat react to changes in the local environment
and the latest trailer shows monsters attacking the village
are... are monster attacks going to be a gameplay thing??? are villages not always going to be safe?
So my sister just informed me that our family name is derived from the greek word for "Man"
My first name, Deniz, is turkish for "sea" or "ocean"
My actual, real legal name is literally "Ocean Man".
I have never seen something work like
#ReturntoWorld
where a gamedev says "that 6 year old game you've already played? go play it again rn"
and everyone goes "YES SIR🫡"
In a historic moment, today Monster Hunter World has broken the 100,000 daily players barrier!
This is no doubt thanks to the amazing response to the
#ReturntoWorld
campaign
- Monster Hunter Anniversary year
- March would be about 8 months after the last game ended (similar gap with the last entry)
- "Expected to sell millions" meaning its an IP game, likely from a top selling franchise
- Unannounced so no Dragons Dogma
Its Monster Hunter 6
From the Website, here is how
#MHWilds
Crossplay will work
- No Capcom ID requiered *to play the game*
- Usual terms for console online play apply
- Crossplay but NOt Cross-save? Thats the exact opposite of what I expected lmao
MHA's final arc is so funny
Deku going faster than light, shoji solving racism, Edgeshot entering Bakugos body, Shigaraki growing fingers out of his eyes, Shoto setting ice on fire, mirio twerking
meanwhile all might watching thru the tv like:
Few things have occupied my mind as much lately as the world of
#MonsterHunter
Specifically, it occupied me so much that I ended up making an interactive map of it! And now you can check it out too!

People ironically hyping up a new Shonen Jump series with only one chapter escalating to the point where we got a fake anime, a fake canon and now professional Dub Actors joining in is so fucking funny bro LMAOOOO
Thanks so much for your support on the
#Kagurabachi
English dub y’all 😤👏
Honored to have voiced THE Kagura Bachi himself. Definitely some of my best work to date no question 🔥🔥🔥
I can finally announce "The Legends of Monster Hunter" !
This video series will adapt myths and legends from the Monster Hunter Universe into narrated short stories (style of the fatalis video)
Workin on ep 1 now, where we discover a forgotten emperor of the sands...
As Rise is in its final few months, discussions around it will naturally inrensify
I wont participate but just know that when I see you be excessively negative about the game, I'll think of this image
Re-downloaded Monster Hunter Stories 2 for definetly no reason 🫣
Probably the best pokemon-like I have ever played, effortlessly transforming every single mechanic from MonHun into something that feels right at home in the Monster-Catching-Genre!
so i was trying to find some good illustrations regarding the square cube law and its just. all AI slop like this.
everything else aside why the fuck would you try to AI generate an illustration regarding a math concept, where you need accuracy & clarity???
Since we are all kind of hoping for a Monster Hunter HD Collection for the 20th Anniversary:
Which games would you want them to include in it?
I think my roster would be MHFU, MH3U and MH4U
Our wyvern mount is called the Seikret! It seems to be Palamute and Scoutflies all in one!
Aaaaand it indeed allows us to bring a second weapon into the field to switch to!
Togashis return immediately prompting mockery of his health sure shows how much yall retained from the "respect mangakas health" train you were on after Miuras passing.
I wonder if Monster Hunter Wilds will be the game that finally includes Capcoms idea for a "Fortress Dragon" with a city/castle on its back.
It and elements regarding it keep showing up in artbooks but so far, the idea remains unused.
Fun Anjanath Fact:
The pink color of the Anjanath's skin actually comes from the fact that the skin is translucent, allowing the wyverns blood flow to be visible through it!
MHW: Complete Works pg. 233
So in Wilds, the game has multiple locales (not one open world) and villages that are seamless parts of said locales
so maybe we'll get one smallish settlement per map and then one main hub village? god i need this game NOW
Had some time between work so I made a
#MonsterHunter
Hunt-em-All Checklist!
All 228 currently existing monsters - how many have you hunted at least once so far?
cant think of another anime that has had a reputation glow up like this
the only thing you'd ever hear about it was how much it sucked compared to the manga and now its consistently gorgeous and beloved? we love to see it

yeah so this is genuinely terrible. my heart aches when i hear this shit.
like oh my god we have successfully trained ourselves into seeing art as nothing but sterile information delivery systems.
misery
One of my favorite trends are people that only play popular mature titles like Destiny and COD going “wow, Gaming’s kind of bad now”.
In 2023 - arguably the greatest year for video games ever

Part of the work for Monster Hunter Ecology Series is creating my own diagrams/illustrations, and for the next bit, I drew this to show how the claws of the Ceanataur unfold
Figured I'd post it here in case anyone wants it lol
im in awe, in any other series backtracking on a major character death would be the huge issue
but here, bakugo being potentially back isnt even the problem, the problem is that the proposed solution is the dumbest fucking thing maybe ever
rereading a bit of mha and man, this was a very weird tangent back when the chapter released and it still feels off. no clue what hori was cooking here
