10 Theories about Monster Hunter Wilds 

“A Chad in the Monster Hunter team” So just a regular member of the Monster Hunter team?

Me when i see a kecha wacha vs great jaggi turf war in wilds: I AM THE HYPE!!!!! RAAAAAAHHH!!!!!

So I was replaying Monster Hunter World and remembered the woodland pteryx. It looks quite a lot like the mount, and the endemic life researcher did ask us to catch one.

My theory is it's gonna be wild

I appreciate your level headed approach to this. I think too many other people are too caught up in the hype and made all these wild predictions and have all these super high hopes for what will come in Wilds. I don't doubt it'll be an amazing game, but expecting underwater combat, new weapons, new lore and a full open world? I'm not saying all of those things aren't possible, but I think you're setting yourself up to be disappointed if you go in expecting so much.

All I want from Wilds is for it to have a crustacean monster in the base game. Just one singular one, pretty please...

One thing I really hope to see from Wilds is the ability to truly observe how Elder Dragons can impact the environment around them. I would say B. Vaal Hazak did this a little when they went to the Ancient Forest, but it can be a lot more involved than that. Teostra visits a forested area and burns part of it, or raises the ambient temperature of the area so you need cool drinks in areas you normally don't. Velkhana freezing over bodies of water and causing snow in otherwise temperate regions. Or, what if the sandstorms in the trailer were caused by a Jhen Mohran? Or of there's a coastal area that experiences occasional earthquakes, caused by a Ceadeus? You don't necessarily have to show those monsters on-screen, either; a little secret area with a couple of shinies that point back to the monsters causing the phenomenon in question should be enough for people to connect the dots. Imagine if there was a title update that was going to add Gore Magala (or some similar monster), but before that update dropped, you could find "Mysterious Scales" or notice other monsters acting strangely (which, sidenote, is another thing I want: monsters reacting to the presence of other monsters in ways that go beyond "fight 'em!"). New players might become intrigued by this mystery, while series veterans get to feel smart for recognizing the signs of a familiar monster before it gets officially announced in the coming days. I dunno, I think the idea is neat.

something that is worth noting: tokuda wanted to add underwater areas with underwater combat in world, specifically in the wildspire waste, with the swamp there being what remains of that idea. they gave up on this pretty quickly due to time concerns, but it is worth considering that he wanted to add it and that capcom is thinking about it. but given how much bigger in scale wilds is, I do agree we probably won't see underwater combat. if the game had smaller maps like world, I think we might have seen underwater combat... but both underwater combat, expanded weather and a much bigger world together seems like too many innovations for one project.

I just need Great Jaggi to make a return, and I’ll be happy.

after seeing a trillion shadow of the erdtree videos of this style this past week, im very glad the sexiest swiss brings some spice into my life by doing a video like this for the monster hunter in me

One major thing pointing in favour of underwater combat is Tokuda taking the helm again. In an interview it was said that MHW was originally gonna have underwater combat in the wildspire very early in development and Tokuda could be looking into trying again. (Also technically 10 mons could be fought underwater, there's the rare cases where you could fight Ivory Lagi underwater) Good video!

Cross play and cross should an industry standard

More arthropod monsters would be amazing. I am all on board for Taikun Zamuza, but I'd also like to see Akura Vashimu, reclassified to a Temnoceran. How do we not have a Scorpion monster in mainline yet, but Frontier had TWO? Also, bring back Seltas and Seltas Queen. Seltas Queen is the coolest looking monster in the series and it's a crying shame that she wasn't in Gen 5.

My wishlist for the game would be: -MHW artistic direction with MHR combats balanced with each other -More monsters from less popular categories like Neopterons, Carapaceons, Temnocerans, Amphibians and Reptiles -REWORKED WATER COMBAT. I want HD Abyssal Lagiacrus and underwater Namielle fight -A rework of "unused" Monsters like Hypnockatrice, Vespoid Queen or Monoblos -A few selection of MHF and MHO monsters -Bring back colossal monsters. Like 100m+ colossal For the rest, I know they will cook

I wanna see dalamadur, I don't even care about fighting it or interacting with it, I just want to see it moving around the map.

But hey, thats just a theory. A MONSTER HUNTER THEORY

I feel that Guiding land in World is a testing ground for Wilds, Wilds can be something that is in a similar idea of a massive Guiding land. This way they can add large monster like Gammoth or Ahtal-Ka in Wilds.

all i need is Hellblade Glavenus 🙏

Woo. And bring back Gamoth lol.

Nah the droplets in the logo are a very subtle reference to tears of the kingdom lol

I don't think we'll get a massive reveal about THE Ancient Civilization, but I think we'll learn a few things about an ancient civilization that was indigenous to the New World. The New World has Wyverians and the Tale of the 5 seems to mention humans I think, so it would make sense that the New World would have an indigenous population of humans at least at some point in its history. I can see this game exploring exactly why they're all gone

I think it’s basically confirmed to be in the New World, just with the whole Return to World thing that the MH twitter account’s been doin

The name for the raptor is negotiable and will be Birb told by the great gog myself

I hope they give all the flags ships a break from wild. I tired of them always taking the spot light. I rather they bring back monster that haven't gotten the 5th gen treatment or brand new monster. If there new monster, I want ether new species or make more monster for the species that have a few specimen. God I want a new weapon so damn bad. I do agree that the tonfa would be the most likely to be add in the mainline game. If they do I hope they ether keep the hitzone change mechanic of the tonfa or the evasion beast of a weapon like in frontier, of course no fly because that be silly. For underwater combat, I want it returned but I don't think it happen anytime soon. The closest they might do is have a raid monster or something of that degree and be semi underwater to test and see how the community would react

I got into Monster Hunter when MH:World came out and I mostly played Charge Blade through base World and CB/Switch Axe through Iceborne. I eventually dabbled into Hunting Horn, and now I'm trying to learn every weapons' nuances. Throughout my playthroughs, I felt that I wanted a "blunt Dual Blade" archetype in the form of "fist" type weapons that use explosive Phials in tandem with their attacks. I envisioned that their combo strings would be more free-form allowing the player to string "light", "heavy", and "phial" attacks in any order with special powerful charged combo-enders. After learning about the tonfas, I think they embody the idea that I had in my head of this agile brawling weapon with quick strikes weaved in with powerful hard hitting attacks. Even if tonfas don't return in Wilds, I hope that they return in some MH title down the line because they look pretty rad, especially those pile-bunker attacks!

the only thing I want is justice for the Monoblos

If it turns out to be open world, I want to see (probably in the endgame or expansions) some of the super powerhouse monsters and how they interact with their environment. I want to see ukanlos wandering around the snow, I want to have an event where one of the maps is darker and tar is all around only to randomly stumble across a gogmazios. I want to be attacked by an ahtal-neset in the desert and track it back to the forlorn citadel. I even want to see the entire mountain level be taken over by a dalamadur.

Perhaps this is a far-fetched hope, but I would like to see (a) Dalamadur in Wilds. As a new player to MH that started playing World around this past Thanksgiving, I havent had a chance to dive into the older games. A giant snake that wraps around mountains is mind blowing.

I hope they use the Odogaron skeleton rig to bring some huge cats to the franchise. The rig is perfect for it

I hope we will not see wire bugs. I am not spiderman, i am a human hunter.

I'm really hoping it takes place in the New World. I loved the setting.

on the topic of crossplay their is a lot of evidence going for it being in Wilds, Im 100% sure it'll be in

weatherchanges were a thing in world, especially when an elder dragon was around, fighting Kirin and look around, its a thunderstorm, vaal hazak weather was very foggy and mistlike, daora was a storm but i guess you meant that the weather has more direct influence on the gameplay

Bring back my Gobul, sucky sucky angler fish. World had little ones, I want him back

Honestly, I feel like a full open world in wilds is a bit more likely than most people think. In the trailer we were shown only one biome throughout the whole runtime, and it looks MASSIVE. I think just from the trailer and previous games, I think it shouldn't just be swept off the table. We don't have any idea of how big the map is because we were shown only the one biome, which also might mean it isn't open world as well, but there's also the fact that the raptor has pouches on its side that look like they might be a moble version of the camp boxes. Why would we need that if it was just big open areas? I know I could be wrong entirely, but a full open world just seems to be what the series has been building up to. An open thriving world of monsters that can be explored in its entirety. Again I could be wrong, so feel free to come back and bully me if I am wrong when the game releases.

You have to love it when the word “wilds” means open world but the word “WORLD” didn’t.

One other thing about crossplay that's good to know.. Their most recent game Street Fighter 6 HAS crossplay. That game was also made in their RE engine, which is very very likely that MH Wilds will be too. I'm 95% sure there will be crossplay in MH Wilds!

I just hope we get dlc voices again and the character talk more again. It gave our created character so much more personality.

We also have to remember that MH3 was made in 2010, that is 14 years ago, of course it was a hassle to develop an entire 3rd axis of underwater movement.

I really appreciate how grounded your theories are. I've been seeing a lot of high hopes and hype trains, and while I am DEFINITELY hype, I think setting down unrealistic expectations for a game we know *literally nothing about* is just unhealthy and will only result in disappointments across the board. While it's fun to have crazy theories, I just don't think it's worth it. Usually just ends up leading to misinformation anyway, and then everyone ends up mad. But yeah, I found myself agreeing with you at every point and it was very refreshing to see some down-to-earth, everybody-chill-out-a-bit, lets-take-a-moment-to-really-think-about-this-rationally Wilds content. Personally though, I do believe Wilds is going to be open world. I definitely understand with and agree with your points about the complexity and all that, but I know open world is something they've been working towards for a long time, and this might be our first big step into it. If not though, it's definitely coming down the line. No matter what the game ends up being I'm going to be playing it regardless. Can't fucken wait dude!

Was needing entertainment Thank you, ocean man

It's been over a decade since underwater combat. They have to find a way to bring back the monster locked behind it eventually.

15:12 from the same producers of *orangütan* , get ready for *pangölin* 🔥🔥🔥

I see what you did there in the thumbnail xD. As crazy as it might be, I want it to be a brand new continent.

If there was ever a time to bring back Copper Blangonga, this is it.

I agree that MHWilds will probably be multiple large open zones, not an open world. My personal theory is that each "lightning rod" seen at the end of the teaser trailer is a physical indicator of where each fighting zone is, and if you take the end shot to mean that, the map looks like an expanded version of Rise's take on region design. I think people dreaming about the true open world fail to consider a lot of hurdles Capcom would need to get over with that formula. You really can't just drop Monster Hunter into an open world and expect everything to work itself out

Hi Oceaniz I really like your content and the ecology documentary of MHW and MHR and got me more into mh and one of my friends into it so ty and keep up the hard work

Open world can work as long as you have to discover a monster's lair, multiplayer might be a bit difficult to implement if all players could just wander around discovering different things at different times, the host would be screwed over Each lair can have like a mini arena so you get to use the environment to your advantage and do cool tricks Maybe they'll put more focus on the smaller monsters and endemic life Anyway I'm looking forward to it

for me, the most important thing is a lot of interesting and unique monsters and an ecosystem

Stories 2 hunters used scoutflies and slingers if memory serves, which was in the old world I believe. I took that to mean its the standard kit of commissioned hunters who are working directly for the guild, rather than more independent hunters who use the kit and techniques of their home village. Not that stories is probably considered canon, but I don't care. It makes sense. Simple tools that are easy to train on while wirebugs probably take a lifetime of practice to use effectively.

I love these theories. But something to bring to mind is the fact that theyve been working on wilds since world or rise. And need 1 more year to release Wilds. I personally theorize that Wilds is gonna be there biggest game yet, but that just me lol. Love your vids!

Wowowowoww!! Waited for yah!!

People talk about how the ancient civilization must have built the lightning rods, because they had advanced technology. I think people have forgotten that you could buy and use portable lightning rods in MHFU, meaning that they could very well be a modern invention in the MH universe instead

So, in evidence for an open world design for wilds. 1, world's maps are, in fact, walking distance from each other so tech limitations was the bigger issue for make world open world. 2, both rise and world have 1 map with multiple biomes, so it seems they are at least considering how it could work.

Underwater increases dev time because it’s basically 2 different games.Technically is not harder than ground game but it’s a whole different set of balancing and animations for 14 plus weapons for the player on top of all other shared anims.

Hey I just want to say thank you for putting your videos out. I always look forward to your Monster Hunter content. I appreciate your time and work you put in to these. Cannot wait for MH Wilds!!! It’s been such a long wait already lol, hurry up 2025!

3:05 I personally think it makes sense. The project built two settlements already I can see other projects or settlement attempts made by other groups using these two and the set up the team did to allow for further research, habitation and extraction of resources (we see this in the old world as well)

There is an in game reason why don’t see Monoblos as a hunt anymore and I like it but I do wish we had it back and that’s because Monoblos are now endangered species and the guild being all about balance forbids any hunts but it doesn’t stop the Black Market hunters who hunt for its horn and spikes and heart plus if we go by elephants for the likely gestation period of a Diablos Monoblos births are likely just as long since both species have live young despite Stories having them hatch from eggs

My theory on the "monkey" looking monsters is that Goss was supposed to have a subspecies in Sunbreak but the idea ended up being recycled for Wilds

i LOVE the design of the mount creature so much

Ever since world came out I've been split from my hunting party. I had playstation but they had xbox. Crossplay is probably my #1 want for wilds

I would like them to introduce some of the old creepy lore mh had like the chimera monster. While the story hasnt been an important part of the mh games, i would like them to make something more interesting than monster x is disrupting nature. Im looking to see how they will do with the maps, im hoping the reason why we are getting a mount is because the maps will be bigger and there will be more vertical exploration too. I think the mount being a mobile camp might mean that we will be limited to a second load-out and limited items to bring so we will have some restock but wont be an unlimited amount of restock/switch gears per hunt. That might be a bridge between the players that felt like the camps were too OP in world/rise and that ones that likes the way it is now.

Considering that we never saw these things in world, and the wildspire not being that big of an area (you can see a large portion of it from astera), I believe this will either take place in the old world, or be a different area than the new world we were at before. It seems to me that the new world is just a peninsula and we'll be exploring the main landmass as "pioneers". Carrying multiple weapons, having mounts, and the camping gear indicate that the hunter is going to be playing more of an exploratory role in this game. I'd like to see some kind of mechanics that let us be more self sufficient rather than relying on a hub to return to. Maybe something like modifying weapons at your camp, and logging quests and hunts for yourself.

I'm just excited to see what kind of new monsters we might be seeing.

I don't really care about cross platform saves, but cross platform multiplayer is 100% a must.

I'd like to see the weirdo monsters return. I'm talking Kecha Wacha, Qurupeco, Great Maccao, Congalala, and maybe Gobul if they can make fighting him on land fun somehow

When you have these huge open fields one thing id like to see is that miltiple quest, maybe just sidequests, from multiple players take place on the same map. So you could just run into other hunters from your session and help them out spontanuosly. I still like how the emergency flare in wirld works and i think that could be a good addition to this feature. With the option to turn it off of course

three things i wanna talk about here that were mentioned in the video or not: 1. When it comes to the open world, i think there's one way that it could work without being the same as World, basically, you'd have your main hub, the place you prepare in for the hunts, where you buy and upgrade your armor and weapons, eat at canteen, prepare your items, everything like that, and then, when deciding to hunt a monster, you'd have a giant open world map where every location connects to each other, and the map would show the most likely place where the monster might reside in on the map, so you could choose a starting poing where you wanna land on the map (usually near the monster), you would land there trying to track, find, and hunt the monster, but you'd still have the option to explore the other areas just by going to where they are. It's basically like being able to go from the Ancient Forest into the Wildspire Waste and vice versa just by going there, without having to leave either location just to be able to enter the other one. I think this could also improve the whole "you're a hunter tracking a beast" idea the games seem to want to convey, because maybe then you'd also need to study the beasts more than you did in world, having to learn where they might spawn, where are the places they most often go to, what are the usual routes that they go through, at what points in time of the day do they go to those places, where they go to after they're hurt and running away, this all could also work in improving the stealth of the games, because if you knew everything there is to know about the monster, you could predict where it goes at what times, so you could always set up an ambush at the location where you know the monster will go to, tho this is more of just my own fantasy and i doubt the stealth and traps would be expanded upon like that in the final game :p Personally i can't really imagine how a monster hunter game could work without some sort of a main hub location where you can always come back to to prepare yourself for the next hunt, unless they really do expand on the whole "making your own camps" mechanic that some people have suggested might be a thing in wilds because of the tents and stuff that the lizard mount is carrying. 2. When it comes to underwater gameplay, personally i would like if they introduced it, but only for gathering resources and *maybe* fighting small monsters with a few swings, no major combos or anything. It's just a fact that being able to swim and swim underwater adds immersion to games where it's allowed, and i think it'd be great to be able to hide from a monster underwater, or have to go gather resources from underwater, i think it would work, all they'd have to do is to just *not* make you fight the main large monsters in it, *maybe* you'd have one or two monsters that would try to swim in the water during your fight, but then the combat would be more about pulling them out of the water and fighting them on land, rather than fighting them in water, especially since i think that would add to the hunter fantasy of pulling a beast from their territory and fighting them on your own terms where you have more of an advantage. 3. There's not many things i'd like for Wilds to do, i think the formula works, there's small things that i'd like like a bit more relience on stealth, or at least making stealth more viable, rewarding players for stalking the monsters and setting up devastating traps without the monster knowing the hunter was even there, or how i'd like if there were even more consumable items for preparation before the fight, like more potions, more slinger ammo types, more mantles, stuff like that, or improving on the layered armor system, making it so that even in the early game you're able to use a different armor set just for the looks even if you have to grind for it. But there's one and only thing i'd truly want them to add, or rather, remove, and that's allowing both hunter genders to pick whatever gender armor they'd like to use, i can't tell you how frustrating it is that i have to play as a guy in World because almost all of the female armor sets look like garbage in my eyes, usually because of the damn exposed thighs or exposed faces, male armor sets don't have those problems usually and i can just choose to be a faceless badass like i always love to be in games, but i can't do that with female hunters, which sucks because even as a guy i've always liked playing as women in games, and i think the perfect solution to this problem is just allowing either gender to pick either armor set, why can't i be a badass bulky knight as a woman? and why can't i be a skinny twink in a skirt? for a game that puts such big focus on customization, i think the games do a really poor job of actually allowing you to look like what you want to look like, which is a shame.

Kinda late to the party but I have two points to make: 1. Back when underwater combat was invented, it was developed on a way older engine. Maybe engine limitations were the reason why it was so difficult to develop. That's why I don't think it is unlikely for underwater combat. Plus they tried to make Lagiacrus work for MH World but failed (bcs they did not see how to make the fight great without unterwater combat). I feel like it really oculd return now as technology has improved alot. 2. To the topic of weapons: weapons always released in a pair of two. The big swords (Long Sword and Great Sword), the lances (lance and gunlance), the morphing weapons (switch axe and charge blade, the blunt weapons (hammer and horn) etc. The only two weapons missing the other part are insect glaive and bow. So I personally see a spear like weapon or maybe a crossbow coming at some point. Tho if they decide to release another pair to the main series, fast blunt weapons would be a solid choice.

I really hope it will be a fusion of world and rise. Rise has so many great gameplay mechanics. Real character voices. And especially great weapon and armor designs. Worlds Designs are mostly boring and similar looking. So they need to take the best of both worlds

I hope they have a large amount of monsters to bring back. A lot more content better events and crossovers, get rid of armor and weapon layered armors just have the weapons the way they are and armors as well.

The whole time I was wondering what was bothering me with the monsters in MH World compared to Rise... It's absolutely variety! World is great, but the selection of monsters just felt a bit too similar throughout, Rise does have the edge on that front.

7:25 Welp, you can now according to Trailer 1

what actually brought the ancient civilization to my head when i first saw the trailer was the music on the first little bit, it reminds me a lot of works like nausica

I think Wilds will more than likely take place in the unexplored north of the New World. Also the symbol being shown off in the trailer kinda looks like 2 Dalamadur with how they have long, possibly large serpentine bodies and a couple legs each. That's what really peaked my interest at least (Symbol could very well be a brand new monster).

We know one thing - you will not be able to skip the cut scenes

Another important consideration with the potential slinger and scoutfly cage is that at the end of iceborne (during the fatalis mission), the research commission is teaching the guardians and general from the old world how to use the slingers, and they presumably brought that technology back to the old world. Therefore, it wouldn't be a stretch to think that even if it really was a slinger, that doesn't necessarily mean that it has to take place in the new world

Took you a will to release the next vid but still a good one and worth the watch.

So my argument to the level designs.....the reason they've done those style of maps big unconnected maps in world and rise is so they can eventually do a fully integrated open world, think of starfield and how much it sucked not to be able to travel from map to map, and to your argument of the different biomes if that elden ring has many different biomes across its huge open world from snow to volcanos, to plains and swamps

I really want underwater combat to comeback because it opens the door for a major expansion on ecology. I think modern technology can allow for underwater combat

I think this could be essentially a remake of the original, only now being able to see their vision come to life, which would explain seeing the Rathalos at the end of the trailer, being the flagship monster. They could revamp many monsters adding new or changing moves to challenge veteran players.

What a great video.

Even though I enjoyed Rise more than I did World, I am hyped so hard for this game. Being an OG Hunter from Freedom 1, I hope that they will bring back the older (more complex) crafting system. I am pretty sure they won't, but hey, a man can have dreams :')

Don't you remember, Monoblos went extinct due to over-hunting. They'll probably reference him in MHWilds, but bringing him back would be dumb.

One thing that saddens me is that Palamutes aren't in Wilds. The villagers of Kamura mentioned that the Palamutes were getting popular in other villages, so why aren't they in Wilds?

i was legit shooket when i discovered the fact that MHR is entirely on the old world

i may be late for this video but i like to see laviente and beserk laviente on wild they would fit so well in it plus they fit the logo too

the most important thing to me is NO RNG DECORATIONS. As long as Wilds has no RNG decorations, you just get the monster parts, and craft what you want. Ill buy the game and enjoy the hell out of it.

I can't even imagine if Wilds uses an open world concept, it would look like ARK Survival Evolve that has a HUGE map with a variety of different biomes with different eco systems and own unique creatures. Personally i think it's not that bad considering how good the gameplay of ARK is when moving to different biomes doesn't feel strange at all it just feels like it was there and also how similar both games are literally just beating the life out of a monster.

Hyped for wilds but on the stories remake I was literally reminiscing about playing stories as my 1st monster hunter game, so I am absolutely on board with the remake

I feel like Najarala fits so well on this games environment (at least from what we’ve seen)

Personally I feel like we are going to see more of the new world in Wilds. My opinion comes directly from the scene with the raptor jumping between structures, these look fairly similar to the coral highlands.

Have you looked at any of the conceptual monster hunter fangames? Some are rather interesting, one I particularly like partially because my internet is not good enough to use visit the fangame wikis is "Monster Hunter Thrive" though it hasn't been updated in a while and some proposed mechanical changes aren't the best the ecology and monsters are interesting. It also has a hypothetical world map. Edit: Also has an alternate phylogenetic tree.

I have a theory that the final boss will be basically monster hunter army ants. Due a swarm of monsters that have to be repelled to protect the village only for that to cause massive disruption and the destruction of the village due to the lost of their presence.

i just hope that any new monsters we get truly live up to the "wild" standard

Id love to see the tonfas in game

Water combat return baby Let's gooooo

I think exploring indigenous civilizations would be really cool. I’d love to see how capcom shows how they’d live/fight with the monsters of the world

the main reason theories about it being in the new world may have appeared to be the scout fly cage and slinger but there's something else from back within MH World news cycle, in an interview they asked about why there are maps in the game that don't line up with the in game locale choosing map for expeditions. 1 of these was in the third/final base game quarters, and 2 more of this map in the main council tables in both bases or towns from the game. in said interview the devs remaked that they were impressed that they saw that and stated that the map we see when choosing locals in game is only half of the new world continent. this information has been out there or half a decade and the ideas for it are even older. not just in MH World's dev cycle but as old as the map the released as the world map of the Monster Hunter universe. that map had a continent to the west with half of it covered in clouds and look what we have now. we have storms as a key feature of the teaser. the mount in the treailer is also a lot like concept art they showed off on the 10 anniversary and that art was much older. nah, even if that's all solved some of them will just stay because the new world is just home now. also there's the possibility of another hunter's guild branch trying to go to the new world. maybe they make land fall on the other side of it. it's common in lore for the guilds to selfishly guard information, if it wasn't no game would ever question returning monsters like deviljho because he's a menace everyone would be told about but they don't share that so returning monster are treated with more mystery factor some times. there is no reason for them to have said that in World's news cycle, that it was only half the continent if they weren't going to show us the other half. if that were the case, if it was a scrapped idea, they never would have mentioned it and wouldn't have given us these maps that don't match. if WIlds is directed by Tokuda, it make sense that they would use cut ideas from the kind of hell development World had with the MT engine. come on guys, a section of the team took a year to do zorah when he's just a slight upgrade to a mechanic Insomniac did on the ps2 in 2003 so before MH1 released. MT framework is an utter joke and that's a huge part of why they are using the Re engine now because it's not only better but less embaressing. a weapon that is fast and blunt is something i've been asking for for a while. now, i don't want it right away, i'd prefer if they figure out what the hell they are doing with the 14 we have so far first. hammer losing in ko, it's entire perpose, to thing like s&s, bowgun sticky ammo, and bow's bag or rocks in World was unforgivable and ig has never fealt true to its aerial identity. not onece since ig was created, Rise got close but failed. don't just copy trash from the MMO that failed after existing as a statment of failure off go. they didn't trust their work to stand on its own so they went the parasyte rout and used the Monster Hunter name rather than compete with it. let's be honest, only fools thought that questare meant anything for Sunbreak. now, that stuff happening for Wilds holds more water. underwater combat as an idea is great. it's execution in tri wasn't. they said thy wnat to do it again someday, having it in early developeent for World but scrapping it. i'd expect and hope for underwater combat in 7th gen. i've said this for years, expecting 6th gen to be smaller changes like 2nd and 4th but i was wrong because of how successful World was. there are so many cool things for inspiration in creature design with sea creatures but not yet.

12:18 "I think theres really only one choice" Me: Tonfas! Tonfas! Tonfas! "The one niche thats not filled is fast and blunt" Me: TONFAS! TONFAS! TONFAS!"
