"Are you gonna re-boost this every day until the game comes out?"

Me:

Less than twelve hours now

Stayed up until 2:30am playing #MonsterHunterWilds

'sgood

sleepy

more later

The schedule for today is #MonsterHunter

And that's it :3

#MonsterHunter just straight up showing off with the food animation now :P

Okay, initial impressions:

-It does feel like the first couple of monster fights are a little easier than you'd expect. Maybe it's because there's no gathering or small monster quests to start you off? It feels like the Balahara quest is where the first large monster fights were in previous games. It does ramp up pretty quickly after that, tho.

-I love the variety in monsters, your first fights are all incredibly different, it's great :D

-The plot feels like it rockets ahead without much regard for what you want to do. There's not much chance to stop and improve your armor and weapons, or gather freely.

-That being said, the plot is LEAGUES better than anything we've seen in a MH game before. Like, someone actually understands rising and falling action and what a plot beat is. Holy shit.

-Speaking of variety, can I just say I *genuinely appreciate* how many black and brown people there are in this game? And the variety in physical builds, gender, and things. Like, I appreciate that this game can be normal about people who don't fit the Buff Hunter Badass stereotype.

-And there hasn't been ONE meathead alpha male character, it's great! The stolid hammer user is a butch lady, she's awesome.

Anyway apparently the armor with Wide-Range comes from the goddamn TICK WYVERN so I've got a little ways to go before I get really set up. Whee! :D #Gaming #MonsterHunterWilds #MonsterHunter

Oh also, check out the most dangerous monster I've found so far; the dastardly camping tent! :o :o :o #MonsterHunterWilds #Gaming #MonsterHunter

There we go, got my first Wide-Range set. Now I can be an actual support character :D #Gaming #MonsterHunterWilds #MonsterHunter

So when you take a picture with the in-game photo mode -- since there aren't any cameras in the world of #MonsterHunter -- a Palico comes in and *paints* your picture instead. :3
