I got the game on the 1st of april and I'm on the 4 star quests and I'm loving the game and the new mechanics that capcom have added. I also love how they brought back the sandy plains and flooded forest, as it brings back memories of playing Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate ( which was my first monster hunter game ).
The one thing that I'm upset about with this game is that I feel the roster of monsters is a bit off. Like only 11 new monstets added, no subspecies and some of the monsters I thought were returning didn't, like Great Jaggi, Lagiacrus, Gravios, Tetsucabra, Zamtrios and Nerscylla.
However, I understand that capcom will be doing free title updates as we are getting chameleos and Apex Rathalos this month, so I know more monster will be added. In addition to the free title updates we only have low and high rank so when G/Master Rank is added even more monsters old and new will be added to the game. So I think Rise is a great game fore people old and new to the franchise and I'm looking forward to what capcom have in store for us.
