Monster Hunter Stories 2

Anyone wanna give me their unfiltered review?

I played the demo and I liked it other than certain weapon types missing. Friend says there’s co-op but I have a feeling it’s limited,
Anyone have thoughts?

i liked it a lot. It really did feel like pokemon, but with a monster hunter paint, in a good way. I think the story and progression is pretty safe and repetitive, but elsewise no other complaints here

How extensive is the comop? Is it like DQ Heroes 2 where your friends can just join for a boss fight for example, if you understand that reference

Or is there a lot of co-op

Co-op is unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you see it, something mostly reserved for the end-game. The extent of it is joining together for a boss or going through a map together fighting things.

>It's a monster collecting game where you already know all the monsters.
>The story fights are fun, but fighting anything between is tedious.
>Combat is so focused on the RPS mechanic that there is rarely any reason to go for moves outside of what's going to trump your opponents move. More-so you just want to get team attacks because you take no damage from team attacks.
>Getting eggs for new monsters becomes a chore, but there is probably some fun in the fusion system where you can roid out a Monster.
>Story is kind of boring, definitely just a game aimed at kids.
>Wish maps were made for flying more.
>Presentation is good for the most part, surprised at cutscene quality in some instances that mog other monster collection games.
>Some monsters cannot be tamed for whatever reason.
>Weapons and gear feel pretty bland after awhile due to the battle system. Just have an assortment of slash/blunt/pierce to beat monster weakness.

Overall, it's not a bad game, but it's nothing special. A solid 6-7/10

It’s Pokémon if Gamefreak actually put effort

Unfortunately it has one big comparison to Pokemon that it, and sadly most monster capture/taming games, falls short on. In that you have to find or farm random "Eggs" that only appear in certain circumstances, rather than just capturing the monster you're battling.

It's such a simple concept I'm still baffled so many games fall short on it and I just don't understand why. You see a monster in the wild, you think "Oh shit I want that thing", and in Pokemon you just get that thing, it's yours. It's not just given to you, it's still a challenge because you have to weaken it and so on, but the basic idea is you tempt kids with a cool thing right in front of their face and give them the chance to just get that thing right there. Instant gratification. None of that Digimon "Oh you have to beat the monster ten times JK beat it 20 times to get the "Data" and then you can eventually make one, meaning you have to fight the same monster over and over and over until all that "Oh shit I want that" feeling is long gone and you're so bored of seeing this fucking thing you don't care anymore", just toss a magical thingamajig and get that cool monster. Monster Hunter 2 is a step in the right direction in that you can go into nests and just wiki the right egg and eventually you'll get it, but it's still bafflingly obtuse when it would be just more satisfying to see thing, catch thing, enjoy thing. Boss monsters included, stop it with this "Oh no this monster is too special for you, plebian!" If it's in the game give it SOME means of being obtained.

I'm so sick of pokemon why does nobody else get it right

they need to ditch navirou

Which is the better game, Monster Hunter Stories 2 or Pokemon Arceus?
