I was incredibly disappointed with Generations. And i'am a massive monster hunter fan. Adding G rank to it and a few more monsters from 3 will probably help out my opinion of it. Was fun. But the deviant monsters were tedious, they brought back all the bad monsters from 2 and compared to 4U there was zero story. Hopefully this address those issues.
I only really had two serious problems with the game, and that were depth of content and difficulty. Without G-Rank there wasn't a ton of unique stuff to do late game and you can kinda imagine they made the deviant weapon/armor system the way they did to counter that. But also the game was significantly easier than previous iterations. It seriously felt like they added in hunter styles which makes players much more powerful and capable, but didn't re-balance the game in any way to counterbalance that.
So all in all it led to a game that I finished damn near 100% in around 150 hours. Which obviously for a $40 game is pretty god damn good in terms of value. But I've never been able to do anything in a previous game in less than 280 or so hours. I definitely got to the end of my time really wanting to play more, but not having anything of real value to do.
They definitely picked some of the worst monsters, but at the same time this was very purposely a MH tribute game so they had to bring back some of the classics. Like there is no reason to have Khezu anymore when you can put Gigginox in there.
Also the deviant quest system that functions like urgent quests where only the poster gets credit for that rank really put my off of doing more than two of them to completion, which was really unfortunate. Because while the fights were okay, getting people to run through all of the levels with you always felt difficult. And as someone who mainly ended up playing prowler, needing to hit level ten in anything I wanted to make the weapon in was such an inconvenience.
I think it was real shitty in general how they handled both Deviant and Gathering Hall based village requests. But at the same time it's not like you actually needed to level the deviants up yourself. There was always someone running the monsters at every level. Not to mention you say it was an inconvenience having to do a level 10 for weapons(which you only actually need level 9) but it's one of the things that makes prowlers so damned easy, because you don't actually have to level it yourself. Just hop in someone's level 9 Deadeye Garuga room kill the relatively easy monster and blam you have arguably the best prowler weapon in the game already. Or hell even join one of the many level 10 experience farming Deadeye rooms where cats are literally killing two Deadeyes in like 6 minutes.
Eh Pailcoes take too long to kill anything, let them have styles.
Maybe compared to speed running lancers or something sure, but a full Boomerang near perfect Palico(something very easy to get these days) absolutely has dps on par with a good hunter and is significantly more safe while doing it.
Barroth, Barioth, Diablos make a return in addition to a Diablos deviant. Plus a new seemingly jet powered monster that appears to be the flagship monster this time around.
Two new Hunter Syles, Brave and Bomb style.
and apparently Palicos will be able to use styles (which seems borderline broken considering how good they are in the first game).
Well I dunno about it being mediocre before hand but Witcher 3 has seen some pretty drastic improvements since launch in a ton of aspects. From performance, to quality of life stuff, even to general gameplay.
Why would someone start with an endurance run? Those things aren't even premium restricted. Random PC game section is 100% the thing that should be started with. Not even gonna recommend a game because you can't go wrong with any of em, that entire series is nothing but winners.
