I'm currently working on a Monster Hunter video series showcasing all of the franchise's monsters in (roughly) the order of the monster vote, but in my free time I've been playing more Helldivers 2 with friends. So much in fact, it's managed to coalesce into a short and sweet little video, hopefully this can tie people over until I'm ready to unveil the big MH project.
Also, I did a couple of animatics for this'n to help with the dialogue heavy clips, which was fun.

palico lore will always be funny to me. They get paid to hunt just like a human hunter. But since they're small anthropomorphic cats you always treat them like pets or babies. like your palico is grown ass man....cat

Would you mind elaborating on your issues with Hammer? Admittedly I only played it heavily in Tri and sporadically since then, but I really enjoyed what I played of Hammer during the beta, so was curious what issues you have with the changes. (Genuinely curious, not here for some gotcha or arguments or anything)
It's a pretty steep downgrade to either iteration from 5th Gen, the charge has had most of its nuance removed in favor of expanding the button combos. It's effectively the inverse of any Hammer build one could make in Risebreak.
Spinning Bludgeon is now locked behind a myriad of combo starters (either button combo or charge attack) instead of being the moving Level 3 Charge, this makes it a more reactive move hypothetically, but it's much clunkier to start up than ever before -it took some labing over the beta to even realize that it was still in the game because charging is purely for upswings and super pounds now, with all of the new stuff being face button moves.
The Mighty Charge is flashy but turns Hammer into a worse Greatsword, and continues the curse of multi-hit wakeup moves that require exceptional spacing to feel impactful and not wasteful.
Charge Step is utterly fine, it's Keeping Sway from Sunbreak, but it comes at the cost of a stance change and any of the possibility that could've brought with it. It also feels like much of Hammer's reach has been asphyxiated to compensate for the movement it provides, so if you're not leading your attacks with it, it just feels gross.

As a Hammer main since 2009 . . . it's never been more over. They massacred me mallet. I knew Ryozo stepping back in order to fulfill his new executive position would affect Hammer but oh man. This hurts.

The first half of Rey Dau's chase theme is so good, why can't it be all just that.

I yap for about 5 minutes about a little life saving bug in Iceborne. Here's the original thumbnail (the updated one uses an orange BG for better contrast and clarity; though I did throw in a third one to mess with YouTube's little best pick feature).

Mernos sighting in the latest trailer for Wilds, bringing the total of returning monsters thus far to 4.
Does this imply that the Forbidden Lands are in the New World, or simply that Mernos were domesticated by more than just the Research Commission? Only time will tell.

Now that we've had time to analyze a lot of the Wilds footage from gamescom, I'd like to call attention to the new type of '-prey family' Bird wyverns:
Red and green! Awfully gnarly lookin' with a lot of spines. They'll actually turf war large monsters and attack them as a group; unlike the Jagras before them - who would only wait for a knockdown to attack - THEY CAUSE ONES.
Anatomically, it's closest to Genprey, between the feet and the tinier forelimbs.
While it differs in a lot of the details, they bear a lot of overall resemblances (especially in their proportions) to the version of Velociprey currently just seen in Sunbreak and Exoprimal. Just something to note. Tee hee.

I've been meditating on it, and honestly? I'd be very down if a Monster Hunter game hybridized the decoration and charm systems of World-Rise; craftable decorations and basic, upgradable charms BUT if you want charms with decoration slots and combinations of skills, that's what's tied to an RNG drop system. It'd be a better call back to the drop systems from old gen (like 4U relic equipment) in the way you can build very competent sets on your own, but with an end game system that really raises the ceiling of potential for sets. I think the more frustrating part of Rise and World's systems is that competent, complete feeling sets get walled pretty heavily by RNG.
