I got really close. The Valstrax limped his way to the top of the mountain to sleep. I want to beat him just to prove that I can, but goddamn he's such a boring fight. Compared to other flagship monsters of the series, like Brachydios and Seregios, he's extremely disappointing. Are the other new monsters from Generations better?

I have played the demo for a couple hunts, and......are the visuals really this blah in this game? Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate on Wii U made some terrific use of color, so while the overall quality of visuals is comparable on a technical level, the artistic direction feels really dull to me so far. I know this game isn't about the visuals, but Tri Ultimate always looked great to me, just in a dated sort of way. So for those of you who have played the entire Japanese build, do the locales get pretty interesting? Of is this going to be a dreary game?
Guys, it has to be said.
Dont buy this game. Dont give Capcom your money for something so lazily done, so spitefully done, done in such a way as to deter any interest in future installments of the series on Switch. Its not worth the time or effort to get good at it if nothing will come of it. Just dont buy the game.
This has nothing to do with the bet I currently have going with Karkashan, which each day I'm further assured I'm winning. Just have a little self respect for yourselves. Dont buy this game, dont let your friends and family buy it, shitpost about it on Twitter/ResetEra/4chan like I do on a daily basis. This game must not be a success.

Huh, that's interesting. Because yeah, I didn't get into the arts at all, really. For me, XX didn't feel really that different than any other MH game, aside from the self-imposed difficulty of the crap armor this time.
I liked the Valstrax, but the calling card is the unexpected fly-back attack. The Gammoth is pretty meh. The Astalos and Glavenus are pretty good, IMO, but you might not dig 'em the same way, because they do have the older MH style of attack patterns. Get used to sheathing.
That Bloodbath Diablos is one I need to play, though...
The Valtrax's area isn't the nicest, but I really dig the area where you fight the Barioth. You pretty much get a bunch of 3U and 4U locations tossed in, with some added low ledges to jump off and mount monsters. There's a swampy area in particular that must've been pulled from an earlier MH that is ass, but the rest of them are good, IMO.

I beat this busted ass Valstrax. Even his name is stupid - Valfalk was so much better. I opened the quest menu expecting to have 1 second left and to lose the fight, but that last hit before I did this actually killed him with 12 seconds left. It did feel good to git gud and barely beat a boss like this, I won't deny it. Even when the monsters suck, Monster Hunter is a lot of fun.

Oh boy do I expect this game to flop; between releasing it two years late, discontinuing the 3DS version and launching it in Monster Hunter Worlds shadow, Capcom has practically gone out of there way to ensure that the game fails to sell well. . .
I am still buying it though, and I expect the same from the rest of you!

I've only ever bought one Monster Hunter game - Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii - and that game is still sealed in its original cellophane wrapper, so I think it's fair to say I have absolutely zero interest in the series.
But this... I dunno, this just seems like a cause I can really get behind. So sign me up for two copies.

@mattavelle1 So how does the difficulty measure in GU? Were most of our problems in XX down to the language barrier preventing us from having top-tier armor and weapons?
