Really, really, really hoping they add some serious challenge in this update. The very thing about monster hunter that I love is the difficulty gives me a laundry list of personal goals to complete. This one is just too easy so far

For example. Come up on furious rajang. He's an absolute beast. I'm struggling ridiculously hard and therefore I practice a few times before trying for a weapon he's weak against. Therefore I have to go grind out a monster before him what had a good weapon that lines up with his weakness. Unfortunately I never got his patterns down too well and therefore I have to get a bit better in this dance against said monster because if not the fight is just too long and it's gonna take me awhile to grind out the weapon.

I get better at the fight and get the weapon that's gives me the advantage. The fight is still a bit too difficult. Therefore I decide I should power creep a bit by grinding out some better armor to compete my build. That in and of itself takes a while and gives me a laundry list of extra stuff I need to complete.

Then, I just feel the endless need to master my skills. The last chunk to monsters in master ranks or G ranks are just grueling fights and I always feel like I can improve my skill to make the fights better. The self improvement is satisfying and gives me a reason to keep playing.

I'm MH wild though? Im using extremely outdated gear. Don't even need to make a build or grind decos because the monsters are just yawn fests. I legit don't even have to try. I'm using old weapons and old armor. Haven't used an armor sphere or even messed with decos. I barely even need to heal. Don't need to eat meals. Don't need to worry about demon drugs, iron skins or improving my playing AT ALL.

I'm really worried monster might have taken a turn that's not for me. I mean, even rise was harder than this. I have faith that they just really desperately wanted it to appeal to any and everyone and the real fun will begin soon. I'm just hoping it's sooner than later though. If this new update only had a small amount of new monsters and that's it, then this might be all she wrote for me. Monster Hunter has been one of my all time favorite games of all time since I was 12 years old during the release of the very first one. I'm actually legit nervous and anxious over where this goes. I have looked forward to monster hunter releases since I was a child and will be crushed if they reduced it and over simplified it to death because NO game on the planet can fill the void.
