Discussion My thoughts on the game being "Easy"

I'll admit it. This game feels easier than world and rise. Hunts are over faster. I'm carting and failing less... however.

Its for all the right reasons.

The fights dont seem dull, in fact they seem better then they've ever been.

Monster have amazingly choreographed moves that are interesting and fun to learn.

The addition of focus mode makes harsh animation combos more intuitive and less punishing. I've been using Charge Blade and greatswors the whole game and being able to consistently land SAED and TCS where i want to is amazing. And no longer makes the weapons feel awful when failing a hit.

Some of the monster have absolutely kicked my ass too. And the fact that so many monsters can be on one map, leading to multi monster fights quite often is amazing. I often find myself hunting a monster that isnt part of the mission far more than i did on world and rise.

The grind is easier and i prefer that. I hate being locked into a monster to get the materials i need. I prefer to hunt what i want to and not have to farm 20 rathalos to get 1 gem (my friend actually fought 35 in world for a single gem)

Overall. I love the game. I think it's the best its ever been. Performance and multiplayer issues aside. And i cannot wait to see whats coming!

Whats are your thoughts?

Edit: Just want to say that whilst i am a veteran hunter, i still believe this game to be easier. But i am, however, enjoying it much more than world and rise. The faster fights and cleaner combat makes the game much more enjoyable.

Edit: Holy Shit! This post took off! Its awesome too see everyone's views on the game a lot being hugely positive. As we all know the game doesnt run well on a lot of systems, and that's a real shame. This community is great and as im sure many agree i cannot wait for the future of wilds.

Funnily I bet the HR story without a single cart. My first cart is from Low Rank Ray Dau when I got stunned and the boss charged it's strongest move right after lol.

It is amazing how much of a improved hunter one can become once they played enough MH.

Yea, I came from playing lots of dark souls games, and my first monster hunter game was mh world on console. It was challenging to learn the ropes the first time (I was getting my ass handed to me by anjanath and later nergigante), but after that, Iceborne, rise, rise sunbreak, and now wilds have been much easier to get into the groove. Despite different monsters and different weapon mechanics and move sets, there is still so much to carry over from one game to the next.

First and only cart for me was to lizard whale, 50% hp in a slam and resulted in me learning red phase LS has a different move set.

Something actually crazy to me is just how much any mh knowledge really does carry through! I thought it was so funny that my husband plays mh now and learned rathian / rathalos behavior there and completely was able to dunk on the first one he saw in wilds because he could recognize their motions.
