It's the streamlined, simplified, casualised Monster Hunter, and I still look at 99% of it like a dog looking at a sum. Endless menus that mean nothing to me, an item box full to the brim with icons I will never understand. I take on quests to unlock stickers that are immediately lost within the labyrinthine options. I will never see them. Where would I equip them? One of my several "shortcut" wheels? Who knows? During the final battle, I found myself asking "Which button do I use to attack with again?" by which I meant "Which combination of buttons do I use to ready my weapon to attack with again?" Sometimes I send the Argosy out. Why? I don't know.
But here's the thing. Name a game. Any game.
Monster Hunter Rise is better than that game.
Johoho!

The true mark of a games quality is how many times it can make you curse in anger but still making you want to have another go instead of walking away.
Haven't swore during a game this much in a long time. But that's what fighting Satan will do to you.

After half an hour I bought a physical copy because I knew it was a thing of beauty. And as good as it looks emulated, I want to see this on my tiny CRT. Thankfully R4 is as common as FIFA, so it doesn't cost €150. It's WORTH €150 though. There are adverts for Namjatown in it! A place I have stood outside without going inside - twice!
CONGRATULATIONS! VIVA LA FRANCE!

I still can't believe how solid it is, how right they got it. It's been a long time since I played it, but all it takes is seeing a single reload animation and you're BACK.
