Love the game. Played the beta last night before bed. Charge blade main here. Having trouble getting used to activating savage axe. But hey that’s the fun of it!!!! Love the content cowboy, keep going strong!!!
Sword and shield feels amazing... so many good combos between perfect rush, and standing still circle combo into spinning reaper and the new stab move which is absolutely insane at making wounds. I ended up trying Gunlance, Gsword, Bow, and SnS before bed last night and all of them felt great. Bow is absolutely bonkers with the perfect dodge, homing arrows into thousand dragons is insane, just constant outputting damage and being able to recover stamina from dodging is a huge addition.
On the PS5 with an OLED HDTV I had to turn off HDR to make the display look half decent. Their in-game settings are not good, everything ends up too bright with a lack of detail.
I also play on PS5 with OLED HDTV and had no issues.... the default HDR setup process worked fine for me. I set the make pattern disappear thingy to 18 I think and then took just the shadows down one point. That was it for me.... it looked really good after that on my TV!
WTF ARE YOU SERIOUS YOU’RE AN IG MAIN?!!!! We are truly brothers!!!!! I knew we were kindred spirits ever since the new armored core🙌🏾. Im bout to watch all 7 of these of hours thanx man. INSECT GLAIVES MAINS UNITE!!!!
I've played over 100 hours on Monster Hunter Rise (PS5) with just the Light Bowgun. I find the buttons so difficult, so I can't seem to learn with a melee weapon. Yes, everything about Monster Hunter is so hard to learn. I really want to learn the Insect Glaive.
@@mithrasabyss2765 you could weaken parts for better damage in iceborne I'm specifically comparing how you go about stun locking the monster through gameplay
It does kinda feel like they took a bat to insect glaive and gave it a cookie afterwards, meanwhile everything else clearly got a lot of love, tf did insect glaive do to wilds devs lmao, i mean i like the ground combat but aerial just feels so clunky now and kinsect feels sluggish af
Its early game bugs. They were all slow. Tbh i think the defs wanted to give IG more identity. Because aerial is a weird identity as you can only really play with 3 attacks max which is super lame. On the ground IG was kinda dull too. In that regard i appreciate the fact we have the charged O attack (with red buff) and the L2 + O move. Also charged extract lets you get all 3 buffs much faster. The controls for IG are kinda overloaded though. And some decisions regarding the layout are definitely unorthodox. Also i wish the game would run better but overall its pretty good. Lets see what the full build has to offer.
I feel the same way about the IG. It just doesn't feel satisfying. I think what the problem is, is the rotation is the same and its pretty safe from harm. Greatsword and stuff like that is the same rotation too but you have to be careful when you do it. IG you just spam it without too much concern. Its too safe
Yeah that might be it. It also feels very by the book now. Tri Tri Tri Circle, Hold, Special, Pop wound, repeat. The air leap into circle charge is awkward as hell also
Got to play a little bit last night, and im really looking foward to testing out the insect glaive. It just really sucks they dont give you a way to get all the extracts outside of battle so you can test out your full movelist without having to be in an active hunt.
I don’t really understand the Glaive changes, correct me if I’m just missing something. The removal of full aerial is… fine, but I understand people who fell in love with it in World and Rise being severely disappointed. Beyond that, though, the necessity to get all three extracts to access the full moveset makes the most inconvenient power-up weapon more inconvenient to use. Then, the main new addition to the weapon is a charged attack, which is an odd choice for glaive, especially piling on the annoyances of extract gathering. You consume your extracts to perform the main new move, forcing you to yet again engage with the least fun aspect of the weapon, since the kinsect rarely gathers more than one extract from the finishing move. Beyond that, though, is the button mapping being atrocious. Holding circle while doing most other actions is more awkward than the claw used to be, especially if you want to use diving wyvern/plunging thrust. The time between vaulting and coming back to the ground is often not long enough to consistently charge the attack, meaning you need to decide before you vault that you want to diving wyvern. To do this you need to hold right face button, then press right trigger and bottom face button, then dodge into the monster with top face button, all while somehow still holding right face button. It’s incredibly cumbersome, and when combined with the other changes, makes it significantly less fun to use in Wilds. I might just not be understanding something, but right now, IG is looking very very bad to me. Anyone know what the devs were envisioning us doing with these changes, I want to enjoy the weapon in Wilds.
A few things to keep in mind. 1) getting buffs: you should charge extract as that pierces the monster giving you easy access to all three extracts in 1 go 2) dont spam the new move. You can combo after charged O move and dont need to use it right away. Right now i suggest using it once you have 1 wound up. When doing the special wound attack in focus mode you finish with a Piercing extract meaning you regain your extracts directly 3) i didnt test the plunging attack too much but i felt you dont need to charge too long. Overall the changes are quite vast meaning that it takes alot of getting used to. I think thats alienates people the most. You cant just do what you always did but i am certain the changes are made to improve IG. I dont miss aerial much but the button layout might need some changing to play IG better. Charging extract while aiming with R2 being held definitely is a hurdle for me and i dont want to start claw gripping just to extract. Anyway these are my thoughts so far. It kinda feels stronger but its a whole different beast now and controls are again changed (world=/=rise=/=wilds)
1) it's worth pointing out that you can cancel helicopter into a charged descending thrust, replicating something *similar* but not identical to World's IG. 2) the midair focus strike is great for popping wounds on higher spots and getting extracts back immediately after a rising spin attack.
@@timberwolfcmc4736 its running 30-45 on resolution mode, and 50-60fps (in certain areas) but with lots of blur and aliasing on performance mode, for me its ugly as hell sometimes with the textures popping in constantly. There is an option to enable 120HZ, but that does not mean it runs at 120fps, not in the slightest.
Admire the endurance, Cowboy will have more time in this beta when it ends then some people will get in the full release! Coming from Rise (and now GU) the weapons feel like they are missing something, there is no true replacement for Silkbind moves and weapon arts, the focus finishers are cool but there still should be at least one customizable weapon art.
The demo was great, hard to get used from just playing through rise again. Might need to start world back up to get in the swing of things again lol. Love the content Cowboy!
I’ve always tried to play these because they are great games but for some reason I can’t ever get into w how goofy the characters and graphics are. Do believe it is a greatly made game I just for some reason can’t get into it
They play together without playing together haha Cowboy don’t beat yourself too much Doctors don’t extend your life you do. I vote for mint instead of lemonade.
Charge blade is way easier than IG. IDK in MHW I love charge blade because a fully charged axe swing on the head can usually knock down pretty much anything.

Do a Focus Slash on a wound > SA
Ride a Mon and slash it till end > SA
Pefrect Block + Attack > SA
No rocket science imo 🚀🚀🚀

How many hours do you think you put into Monster Hunter World Beta?
Prob 20

How do yall feel about wounds vs wall banging?
Wounds make for a better gameplay loop
@FightinCowboy the maps are bigger and more open now too. probably smart from a design persepctive. Thanks cowboy 🤠
Well didn’t we have both in Iceborne? Or am I forgetting something?

With focus mode and everything, ig seems to be more around the kinsect fighting with you.

Kids know 😂 they sense it in their fiber of being when parents want some "me" time 😂
Excited to watch this stream though it ended!
Trying to find bow beta videos , how is the damage ? Hoping it’s better then average
I mean the bow is one of the highest dps in this and the last 2 games ifk y it would need to be better

Hey cowboy, don't forget that both bugs for IG are different, one blunt one severe
Speed pretty low on both tho isn't it?
Bugs will probably speed up as you make progress

You use focus mode to puppeteer the kinsect and fight as a sort of 2 for 1 weapon, collecting extract and charging up the big moves
Games lookin nice af, now the wait for PC
So is it running at 60 fps? I honestly can’t tell
pretty sure DearGamer said it runs at 120 max on PS5
I played it on base ps5 last night, and it was hitting 40 fps max on performance mode.

Hsve try the Hammer & Gun
I might be wrong but watch the entire stream
Went straight to bug stick as well. I've mained it in 3 games, not sure if it will be 4. Love charge A stuff, i miss a lot of what they cut though.
The demo was great, hard to get used from just playing through rise again. Might need to start world back up to get in the swing of things again lol. Love the content Cowboy!
Wilds plays like a mash between world and rise
It looks like almost all the big mh youtubers are going with us and sns

Charge blade guide please lol it’s such a confusing weapon to learn…I play S&S and I feel like charge blade is the next evolution lol
Attack to charge vials > charge shield > attack to charge vials > do big super move > repeat
@ the basics I know lol it’s all the little things I wanna know like guard points and the best combo moves
Charge blade is way easier than IG. IDK in MHW I love charge blade because a fully charged axe swing on the head can usually knock down pretty much anything.
@ yeah I’ve pretty much mastered charge blade since this post lol 😂 I think I wanna learn gunlance for wilds
Rurikhan is kinda annoying …
No
Perhaps?
