Thoughts On The MHX Gameplay

Ancient Forest: We may have only seen a few zones of the area but from what I saw I like it, especially at night! The Hot Air Balloon in the base camp suggest how the hunters get to that island plus adds some depth from the usual base camps we see. I like the mix between prehistoric plains and prehistoric forest yet love the monsters that live in the area even more though I really hope this area has one more unique monster!

Forest and Hills: Nostalgia overdrive! Classic Los BGM and that good ol' Old World feel! Hell, Rathalos even sounds like the Old World Los(I'm not commenting on that since the same applied to 4th Gen. Diablos)! I want to see more of the revamped Forest and Hills now!

Monster Intros(?): Umm... What happened to them? I like this new way(In some regard), however, it just feels different from what I think many are use to, including myself. My only guess to why the intros are like this is due to how large the game is.

Visual Effects: I noticed this with some previous screenshots but the graphics along with minor visual effects have been improved! One minor detail I like is the wind that comes off some of the Rathalos' movements while he's flying.

Dinovaldo: I'm in between about Dinovaldo. I honestly like just about everything it did in the gameplay footage though I expected a bit more from it. I still like this monster a lot, especially how relentless it is while attacking hunters!

Great Maccau: It is the most unique raptor Bird Wyvern I've seen in a while! Very chaotic and fast with some swift attacks to go with it. Please Capcom, don't try to throw in another one similar to it anytime soon!

Nargacuga: Good to see it return but it is identical to how it was in the 3rd Gen. thus far... Please let it have more than that was shown!
