Great QL, Jason. I just unlocked 2 star quests and am having a blast. This is only my second Monster Hunter after playing World and I love how refined and sped up the game feels.
While my 18 month old son is a great sleeper, because of Covid I have work/baby sitting schedule that requires me to be awake for 20 hours a day a couple times a week, so I know your pain.
I’m pretty much opposite of most of their opinions. I didn’t think the first game was anything special. I kinda hated the gameplay and I thought the story fell flat. I loved part 2 from top to bottom. Yes it’s a little overlong, but I enjoyed the gameplay so much that I didn’t mind.
I get pretty annoyed when they discuss story elements in games like this. The whole ludonarrative whatever argument is so boring and cliche at this point. It’s a video game. It has to make some concessions to be playable and fun.
They also often seem to rag on not having “choice” in a game, but that’s such a weird argument to make.. You don’t have choice in film or novel, so I don’t know why they have an expectation for them to have it here.
I understand that they all mostly enjoyed it. I’m just finding myself having very different opinions from most of the staff on games these days. Brad is usually a breath of fresh air, since he seems to be more positive and not negative off the bat.
