I’m a budget switch gamer, got mhgu on sale I enjoy it but it feels kinda slow. Is rise a big big upgrade? What’s changed.

    It’s supposed to feel slow. Rise is an aberration for combat, even the fastest monsters can barely hit you because the Hunter has far too many movement options, and even if they did hit you it does nothing because you have access to 9999 Ancient Potions back at camp (yes, they did that).

    GU is probably one of the best old games, but it is no way perfect. Still, it did things that newer games can’t do or won’t do — or even retract on doing: GU has Lagiacrus, which was promised to us along with underwater in the World promos, but were both removed for the final, and even if it is a vastly gimped Lagiacrus in GU because GU has no underwater either, at least we get the fight. One thing GU does lots better than the newer games is the companion system, since your cats can more actively help in battle (even sending you items mid-quest) and you can actually play as a cat.

    It’s defo good that you got it in sale! Having two or more MonHun games to play helps stave off “playstyle boredom” a fair bit.
