Just to check but have you actually played monster hunter and not just toukiden/god eater? Bearing in mind that world is a different series and both 4/XX fuck with the formula a lot. It's a fun game because the combat is well balanced and it's about the only game with the particular dynamic of slow combat against an enemy with priority over the player in almost all instances. Monster hunter designs were good in gen 1 and solid up to gen 3 but they were good as super-real (super as in exaggerated or greater than not as an emphatic) natural looking creatures and not as over-designed crazy things which I think is closer to what the thread is aimed at. Anyway kaneko is the only good enemy designer for monstrous things without going either full blown 13 year old scribble monsters with spikes on every surface or tame stuff that isn't really that monstrous. George Kamitani also does good stuff, but it's really more in line of great execution of classical monster concepts than anything particularly bizarre. His approach to chimera in GrimGrimoire was somewhat unique, being a kind of buer spin-off.

Played 4 different monster hunters and found them all to be clunky. Played the original PS2 one when it came out for a few hours, tried on the PSP, WiiU and The latest one. Latest was mildly better but still too damn clunky and too grindy.

Okay well thanks for letting us know that you're a brain-dead shitter. You don't need to double break unless seperating post responses or an actual paragraph. Reminder that a paragraph typically constitutes more than a single fucking line. For reference I'm calling you a retard for calling the game clunky as your only response, rather than just saying slow. If you hate slow games that's fine but don't blame it on grind or you might as well blame just about any game out there that requires you to do anything other than move forward.

SMT.

Oh yeah I missed this the first time I read this post but by 'latest one' do you mean world? Inoperable case of garbage fucking tastes, hate monster hunter all you want, but under no circumstances should a reasonable human being like world or prefer it to classic even if it just means to dislike it slightly less. Might as well start telling us about how skyrim and DmC are some of your favorite games and Dante's white hair was lame.

>>16690823

It's clunky not slow. Having to stop to sharpen your weapons in the middle of a fight isn't slow, it's clunky. Having huge sprawling towns when you only need to visit like 4 places is just padding and the level design is piss poor so a new player will often end up lost (common problem with modern RPGs as well).

Having very few combat options making Dark souls look varied. Having 10 different ways to swing and oversized mace with no way to cancel out of it and stupidly long animations isn't slow, it's clunky. The game never grew out of the PS2 era, it stayed in that shit shit hole. It's like DMC3 never happened so you're stuck with DMC1 forever.

>Don't point out the grind is bad because other games have grinding

I don't care what others games do, I only care what this game does. It has a pointless grind where they make you need to level up stats to fight recolours and grind some more. It's locking other wise possibly interesting content (not for me) behind a skinner box. You can make any excuses you want for it, but RNG and having to grind the same mission over and over is just lazy padding.

>>16690840

DmC had some strong points. It's visually very good and had some nice enemy designs.

I've been on imageboards for over a decade. I know how to properly format a post for them. Maybe you should learn to do the same. You could do it instead of grinding the same dragon for a week in Monster hunter.

>>16690829

SMT has some nice designs. Angel is one of my favourites.

>>16690859

Op is always a fag.

The bosses are pretty good in castlevania but most the mooks are generic rip offs of superior Western designs and mythology. Same shit as Goblin Slayer where weebs jerk off to the slant eyed version of their own mythology because they're too lazy to involve themselves in their own culture. And no jews didn't burn all the books and gook cartoons made for children are not superior

>generic rip offs of superior Western designs and mythology

This thread is honestly useless.

>>16690875

Go be a weeaboo some where else if you can't handle the truth.

>>16690882

Looks really interesting. I'll give it a go.

>>16690891

You like shit games and can't deal with the fact that other shit games have strong points. We get it, now kill yourself and stop wasting posts with your bullshit on a board with near unlimited posts.

>>16690899

Go away manchild, you have to grind another pair of gloves to fight the brown version of that dragon.

>>16690913

You're very fixated on talking about that rather than responding. I'm going to assume you are just pretending then. That's a relief, thank you.

>>16690915

The art style was gorgeous, it's too short and doesn't make the most of it's mechanics. Could do with a proper sequel with a larger budget to pull off what it wanted to achieve but clearly didn't have the budget for.

>>16690930

Blasphemous looks amazing, apparently it's releasing this year.

>>16690930

Is the game like that or is that just art from deviantart? I can't see that level of quality being throughout the entire game but if it is that's a 10/10 graphics whore game.

Trannies incoming

Imagine coming to a board about games to spend your entire time whining people formatted their posts in ways you don't like. Shouldn't you fags be on resetera?

>>16691128

You know there are IDs here, right?

>>16691142

Yes, that's how we know you're a faggot in every post you make not just one. How new are you where you think a poster needs ids pointing out to them?

>>16691623

I hated the DMC5 enemy list. It was way too much nostalgia bait and the new stuff was just tanky as shit designed to force you to back off. It's a real shame they went Dark souls 3 with it. It's my only real complaint.

>>16691652

>the new stuff was just tanky as shit designed to force you to back off

The Proto Angelos, Hell Antenoras, and Behemoths, sure, I didn't feel that way about the Baphomets, Lusachias, or Empusa enemy set at all. Or the Riots and Chaoses, if you could count those as technically not the same as Blades or Assaults.

>>16691686

I don't count Empusas as enemies TBH, they're so passive and die so easy. But DMC5 does suffer that, everything is tanky as fuck or a joke. It lacks a good middle ground.

>calling out Reddit spacing gets your posts deleted

Taking the term /v/eddit on a whole new level.

>>16691710

How would you qualify something in DMC5 as "tanky" compared to enemies in DMC1 or 3 that have activated Devil Trigger, which have massive health pools and are difficult to juggle or stunlock?

>>16691763

The butchers have just enough HP for their berserk to fuck you over. The knights blocking shit.

I'm not talking DMD devil trigger here because that's expected. Even on normal some of the enemies were just designed to be brick walls to your combo meter unless you DTed to blitz the entire room. I had the same issue with Bayonetta 2 where some enemies are just designed to break up the flow. I don't mind that in a top tier enemy (like Shadows) but I do mind when they throw in a handful of butchers. No bodies also suffer from being exceptionally difficult to stun lock and I didn't get the same feedback on them as them in previous games.

It may just be me but I thought the game was often balanced around having two DTs and I didn't like that. I reserve my DT for emergency situations or complete cluster fucks. I don't like how powerful it is in 5 or how You could just sin DT and kill a boss on hard without having to do anything but mash attack.

I really enjoyed 5, it's a nice return to form after DmC but it sits awkwardly between casual and hardcore and doesn't commit to either enough. But then it's the first DMC to get finished so maybe I should applaud that at least. Every other games shit it's self near the end or put in a boss rush in a desperate attempt to extend it's self a few hours Fuck the dice games in DMC4, and fuck everything in DMC4 that isn't the combat or enemies

>Why did the off topic bullshit get deleted

>>16691154

Yes, and Shadow Hearts had some great enemy designs too even though they feel somewhat out of place as the series went less horror and more goofy.
