What a glorious day, the horn has blown, ushering in a new Monster Hunter title & I’ve signed on with the guild! I’m happy to be playing it at launch. A game like this can be more fun while surrounded by an excited community, and there may be no better online game community than Monster Hunter.
I’m probably about 14 hours in over the past 3 days and while I’m obviously enjoying Wilds, it does annoying stuff! Look, it’s called Monster Hunter not Monster Walk-and-talk. Walking-on-rails through a new locale, unable to stray from the path while 4 character rattle on about this-and-that, only to stop and deliver a monster to you gets old. And I’m not done with all of that yet, I have more of the story to get through and this is the formula they like to use. When the game cuts the seatbelts off and you get to do whatever you want, it’s really excellent.
There are some great new monsters, I’ll make a tier list of my favorites later on but Rompopolo should get a special shoutout for being extra disgusting. I’m going to keep updating this with thoughts as they come or some memories of great hunts. For now, please say hello to my hunter, Chazerito and his trusty palico Chuckeeto.
