User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Discussion of the Week: Frontier's End - Part 1/@comment-37617547-20191111111606

1) I first learned about Frontier when I searched for random things about Monster Hunter on the internet, then I found this Doragyurosu monster.

2) Honestly, yes, because MonHun dos's engine is quite dated, which is apparent especially during Seregios's implementation.

3) Obviously, having a stamina mechanic (iirc, Deviljho is the only one who has that in Frontier), fixed hitboxes and more dynamic AI, but like Cottonmouth said, they managed to take some 3rd Gen's changes gradually like adding the Switch Axe, restraining attacks, and having Anorupathisu using the updated flying wyverns' model.

4) This question is so hard, because as Cottonmouth said, Frontier is just wildly different compared to the main series.

5) My top 5 would be...Lavasioth, Hypnocatrice, Berukyurosu, Doragyurosu, and Espinas.

6) Pariapuria, I guess, not a fan of it's design.

7) I really like this kind of mechanic because they really change the way monsters fight, and this mechanic extends to even Subspecies is the reason I really like it. Main series tried to do a similar thing with Deviants, but I prefer HC Monsters better.

8) Espinas, Berukyurosu, and Doragyurosu

9) I really like the Highlands and Gorge, though I don't really know why for Gorge... Highlands because of the scenery.

10) Nest Hole looks boring to me...

11) Highlands obviously.

12) I really like the additions. They add a layer of variety to the gameplay depth.

13) I haven't looked really that far for this one, but I would mention the Switch Axe F because I really like the Heavenly Style for that weapon, it's like the Frontier team is trying to show the main series team "Hey, we could create a better weapon concept better than you guys!", and they succeeded with this Heavenly Style. But the comparison between it and Hunting Styles in Generations Ultimate is difficult for me to make.

14) I would say yes, especially seeing that Raviente just eats every living creature around the area really shows how easy it could dominate over other lives.
