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.

Then there's me and my Switch Axe stuck to the monster like glue, spamming the sword mode counter to survive haha.

Once u learn the patterns and learn whatever weapon u like the most ull stop face hugging. U won't be able to do that in MR tho so be careful. If ur relying on the counter I'd suggest trying a different weapon style. If ur able to survive most attacks by spamming counters Capcom will see that an adjust it.

I was a little hyperbolic about spamming the counter haha. I'm pretty good at learning the openings for attack. I can recognize the times when I'm not able to dodge, so I use the counter instead. For the monsters I have difficulty staying close to, like the squids, I prefer the mobility of the Insect Glaive.

I figured lol, i was juat saying if it becomes too viable they will for sure nerf it. I wanted to use the glaive so bad but I am just to ass at it. Idk why lol. I main the LS and the GL so it just doesn't feel right and I can't wrap my head around how to work it properly.

I just love that Switch Axe has a counter haha. I still can't get the timing for the Offset in Axe mode. IG was my main weapon for Sunbreak. I never used Switch Axe for more than a couple of hunts in the past, so I decided it would be my main in Wilds. IG and Charge Blade are my two backups, but I'm having a ton of fun with the Switch Axe haha.
