You do you Doc, youre the goat for me. I started maining SNS because of you too back in IB. And i followed you through base Rise and early Sunbreak. And now i'm here, close to 1k subs, because i got motivated seeing you play. I get your point that burn out eventually gonna happen, especially with Sunbreak's endgame. Just do what you enjoy! Thanks, Doc!
Dude I'm glad I got you to start running! Great runs, too. It's not necessarily burned out on MH, just not having fun with the loop due to the gimmicks and weird endgame mostly :D appreciate the support!
I do feel what your saying, rise and sunbreak have left me feeling burnt out Do miss the older monster hunter Have started watching ur old content again and will be looking for new content from u
I wholeheartedly agree with that spam counter thing, sure it's satisfying but I feel as if my neurons activate way more mhp3rd when you get that great sword positioning on devil jho or like hammer against iceborn rajang to a list a few of my own experiences. Rise relies on countering way too much. RIP head sniping, an unfortunate welcome to primarily dps gameplay
Brother I just want you to know how much I appreciate you for all the great MH content. As an SnS main myself I am grateful to you for sharing your insight and knowledge, and your gameplay has helped me improve. When I want to see optimal SnS play, I find your videos. I used your MHFU Let’s Play as a guide for my own MHFU Granny Quests run, you made that game more accessible and less cryptic and I enjoyed my time with it much more thanks to you. I understand if you don’t feel motivated to play Sunbreak or Iceborne and want to pivot to other games. I’ve never played Pokémon so it’s not my thing, but I wish you the best and much success. I’ll stay subscribed and I’m sure you’ll hit your stride again with your new content. And with luck we’ll be playing MH6 before too long. Best wishes my friend, cheers from 🇺🇸
I love MH, and I pretty much just play it. My favorite weapon is SnS, and that's why I found your channel right here in South America. I'm disheartened that UA-cam no longer notifies me "Dr.Phill SnS only". I wish you a lot of fun for the future, good luck.
appreciate the update, sad to hear you're not enjoying MH as much. personally i absolutely love wirebugs for movement and mobiilty, but i do agree on the game becoming counter hunter. hope you find a game you enjoy to stream!
I still enjoy MH, just the problem was me locking myself to MH content made it less fun. Now that I finished the first pokemon series live, I already feel relieved and that naturally makes me wanna play the game more :)!
Imo I hope that if they make a new mh for the ps5/xbox they go back to their roots. Unpopular opinion, but I’d want to see them tackle underwater combat again and maybe redesign it so that it is better than in mh3.
Now can I trust maiq the liar? Either way, hard agree, I talked about the underwater combat a lot on stream and that was the most immersive gimmick so far. It sucked ass but has great potential
Do you, Dr. Phil. I never thought I would get into MH, but I did. I never thought I would get into God of War, and I loved that game to death. I used to be Destiny addict and ventured out. Who knows, maybe you expose me to a new fantastic game. I am here to stay.
Despite this version of SnS being my favorite one of all of them, I share a lot of your thoughts about Sunbreak. Also base World remains my favorite game too because the gameplay and core mechanics were clean, fun and didn't rely heavily on stupid gimmics (Clutch Claw 🤮), I was an ignorant player back then but still enjoyed it like no other game. Base Rise on the other hand, didn't care much about it. If only Sunbreak have some decent i-framing for the regular dodges and less end game grind, it's not that it's long or hard but it's just super repetitive. There's no difference between a monster lvl 219 and a 220 one. MHGU did it better with Deviants that have progressive leveling leading to a powerful final EX monster.
the nerf to i-frames on dodges was a questionable change in my opinion. Further makes you believe that they wanted to push all this counter shit even more than they already did with all the stupid wirebug moves lmao
I’m sorry to hear that you’re not enjoying Sunbreak and the counter heavy gameplay, certainly a lot has changed from the traditional combat. Iceborne could’ve been a fantastic game but the clutch claw is starting to really hinder my enjoyment of it. I’m somewhat of a casual speedrunner so i’m not aiming to get any record runs or anything but I still care about my times and having to worry about tenderizing just gets annoying and tedious even for casual play but especially when you’re trying to improve your runs. I’m curious to see what they have next in store for us in MH6. Best of luck in your journey bro
Well it might just be a one time thing, yknow, so we might be lucky. Or depending if you really love it unlucky. The main issue for sunbreak is that it gets boring fast. It's fun, I can enjoy it and the first playthrough was a blast but speedrunning it feels like repeating the exact same run on every single monster. Which is my main gripe. And I totally understand what you mean by the clutch claw issues, on alatreon it wasn't a big deal cause alatreon was such an amazing monster that it didn't really bother me, but everywhere else it was a mere nuisance, especially when slash dancing in base world was so fun. Appreciate the support and hopefully you'll be part of that journey!:)
@@Dr_Philliam Yeah that makes sense, for SnS do runs basically consist of just spamming metsu shoryugeki and perfect rush? It tends to be the case in high level speedruns where most of the fight you keep the monster locked down with CC and traps unless you do TA runs but that’s another complaint i’ve heard about Rise speedruns; the categories have been spread too thin because of all the RNG introduced into the game. In W/IB there was still some degree of needing good positioning and well timed back hops and finding attack windows but there was a similar problem where you basically spam perfect rush because it did wayyy more damage than everything else in the SnS’s tool kit. Rise/Sunbreak did a lot of really cool things and improved some weapons greatly like the switch axe but I can understand if it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Personally i’m not a fan of wyvern riding and turf wars which feel so scripted it kinda disrupts the flow of combat. I’ll keep an eye on some of your non MH content, maybe i’ll find something interesting that I hadn’t considered before.
I heard wild hearts is suppose to be good maybe give that a go, I never played it thoe, love your vids my favourites are your playthroughs, maybe some challenge playthroughs might spice things up for you a bit. Anyway good luck what ever you do.
Its totally okay if the newest game in X franchise that you love isn't your jam. Really not a big deal. In the case of MH, I really think it's just different strokes for different folks. I started with 4U, love Sunbreak, and don't care for Iceborne. I know people with the exact opposite opinion. It is what it is. I don't think Capcom has released a bad MH game yet, but they do always try to innovate and it will always alienate some people. Fortunately, the gimmicks rarely stay the same after their introduction to the series.
I think it’s good we’ve had gimmicks like clutch claw and wire bug.It means Capom is willing to try new things but that’s also the issue how do you keep people hooked on a franchise if it’s only the same thing every time.
Hi Dr.Phil, I play on console and right now I'm trying a bunch of weapons, I really like SnS and I wanted to ask a question about the weapon, sometimes I use the metsu shoryugeki right before the monter hits me then I get hit anyway and I lose 2 wirebugs, is that because it has a small window at the beginning where the shield doesn't protect you? Because looking at the animation such a "vulnerability window" doesn't seem to exist.
@@PrimalZeno maybe you're facing it wrong. It's still a block. Hmmm could you record me an example and send me a link? I wanna make sure that everything is right :D
@@Dr_Philliam Ok I'll try to do it, right now I'm at school (I live in italy) and today I can't play, is it ok if I send u a video tomorrow? The attacks I'm talking about are apex zino paw slams and valstrax wing sweep (that single hit attack where he raises his wing then hits all in front of him). You are really gentle to help me, thanks
@@Dr_Philliam Ok, I watched some of my clips and noticed I was facing the wrong direction...sorry the the annoyance but can you say to me if the metsu shoriugeki can block the unblockable attacks by the normal guard?
Which streaming times work best for you? (Poll)
