Is the Monster Hunter Stories remake on Switch worth buying? I REALLY loved the sequel but I wanna know if the first game is just "the same, but less".
Different story which I know some prefer to the second game. It's got the element changing stuff that they cut out of the second game for some reason, monster actually changes colors depending on the element it becomes once u give it enough genes of a certain element. That and different art style I'd say are the biggest in thinking of.
IMO, the art style for MHS really clashes with the increased resolution and graphical fidelity of the remaster. Everyone looks deformed and disproportionate. It looks far better on the 3DS screen with its quasi-antialiasing effect

Plus I fucking hate Navirou's grating voice with every fiber of my being.

If you can get the game on 3DS (or even mobile) opt for that version instead.

As long as they don't talk too much or make those dumb shoutouts like they did in Rise, then I'm good.

Can you use Monster Hunter speak instead of English? I know World allowed you to.

Ajarakan looks much more fun to fight against than I was expecting and Rompopolo is just so deliciously weird. Definitely the weirdest Brute Wyvern yet. The Oilwell Basin looks impressive, and the theme music is just solid.

Also, second open beta test confirmed!!!

Wait, so we get rubber-faced poison flashy boi first, but no Lagiacrus? Goddammit, Tsujimoto, my heart can only take so much abuse.

Also, I want a Tsujimoto character face preset.

Cannot stress enough how sick Gravios looks here. I've always thought it was a really cool monster but Jesus, man. Look at the size of that thing!

Via yesterday's IGN First, we now have our first look at Rey Dau's gear in the form of its Hunting Horn. Thoughts?

Looks like they had "Raijin" on the brain when coming up with this one.

Interview about the creative process of the Oilwell Basin. This is area is probably the most interesting volcanic area in the series to date imo.


But that's not all we've got...







We've got gameplay of the Black Flame "Nu Udra"!! I get the feeling that this one is going to become a favorite of mine!

- The Iceshard Cliffs look very ominous, and I noticed some strange floating rocks in the area.... Can't wait to see more of it!

- Wasn't expecting Nerscylla and Gore Magala to return, especially the former! Nice to see that Nerscylla and Gypceros have a Turf War!

- Got a glimpse of what is surely the Apex of the Iceshard Cliffs, and it looks very impressive. I'm leaning toward it being either a Leviathan or Snake Wyvern.

- Speaking of Leviathans, Hirabami looks damn good! Now we've got a member of said class that can float/glide! I'm really loving how Wilds is really bringing out the delightful weirdos.
