I'd be up for that, if we can find an hour that works for everyone

just for the record, I should be available almost anytime this weekend. Same goes for next weekend I think.

Attempted coup aside, it's been an okay week. Very busy for me at work.

those times should work for me tomorrow. I'm putting in some weekend time building my company's website tomorrow, so that should be a good time for a break.

Well I officially don't get Monster Hunter. I've tried various demos over the years and it's never clicked. The older games horrible loading screens that appeared without warning every few metres sucked. The Rise demo looks pretty and has a smooth framerate. I want to like it but it's just not fun to me. There's no lock on? Enemies run behind you constantly and you have to manually drag back the camera every time so you are facing them. Attacks are super slow, even fast characters attacks can seem like hit and miss. Usin that magical rope controls in mid air is unnecessarily convoluted. Button mapping is all over the place. Enemies seem overpowered (deliberately so). I just wish I was playing it with BOTW controls or that it was an rpg instead. MH stories or Pokemon look more appealing to me.

I remember when I just started playing MH with Tri on the Wii. My first large monster took me ages to beat. It's the kind of game that requires you to play it for at least 20 or so hours to really get a feel for it.

Im in this boat, I have tried multiple demos over the years and nothing grabs me. I look at trailers and videos and think this series is perfect for me but when I play it I am not enjoying myself. I guess I never learned how to properly plan or use traps. It just seems like really long repetative boss battles with poor controls. I will try Rise demo now but I wont get my hopes up.

I can't stress enough how much these battles suck. If there was no time limit, fine. Is there a way to get rid of the time limit?

I stopped half way, its not a good battle system

Robio, let me know when you'll take a break. I won't be on switch the whole time, but will keep an eye out here on the VGPress.

Would 20:00 UTC (50 minutes from now) work? Possible I'm wrapping some stuff up right now and probably will need about 20 minutes or so just to orient myself with the game.
