So it's the same slow, boring "fight" as before? Well, that put a hamper on any shred of excitement I would have had on Lao's return. Yes, I know it's a passive monster that's only trying to escape Fatalis's grasp, but it should at least have a self-preservation system when it comes to the hunters repeatedly poking it to death with their giant toothpicks; it doesn't have to attack constantly, just enough to make the fight somewhat more exciting. Real wasted opportunity right here. Well, at least MH newbies like me (I started with 3rd gen and never got to play the previous games) will finally be able to fight the thing.
