Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

After three consecutive deaths, the mission is considered a failure.

Yamada Masaharu was helplessly dragged back to the camp by El Cat.

He was still in a state of complete confusion.

Good guy, I am a great demon hunter after all, the master of mounted archery in Princess Mononoke. How come I am here and am tortured to death by a fire-breathing dragon?

This is unreasonable.

Is this really my mission at this stage?

Go back to the village chief and tell Yamada Masaharu that the guy Yamada Masaji encountered was a newly discovered monster.

The ecology is unknown, so the weaknesses are also unclear. The whole guild is having a headache. I ask you not to rush there yet and do other tasks to accumulate strength.

The mission itself does not require defeating the Fire Dragon. In fact, it only requires secretly picking back the whitening mushrooms.

What? !

Yamada Masaharu touched his hot cheek and felt an incredible taste.

In fact, this can be regarded as Qing Zhiyuan retaining some of the customary settings of monster hunters in his previous life:

Often in the early stage, when the system determines that players can defeat some basic primary BOSS, it will arrange a collection-type task, and then throw the cover monster to you to show its grace.

According to the current player's equipment, it is impossible to defeat a monster of this level.

For example, here, when Yamada Masaharu received a collection task, he suddenly encountered the male fire dragon on the cover. It was strange that he was tortured to death.

Even an experienced hunter in his previous life might not be able to kill it.

The best way at this time is to complete the collection task and run away quickly.

Don't be greedy for the dragon bones and crystal stones on the other person's body. If you are not careful, you will easily fall in love with each other.

The so-called three cats are those who were pulled back to the camp by El Cat three times after the health bar was cleared. The three missions failed, so they are called three cats.

But it didn't matter, the village chief paid Yamada Masaharu according to the original task as a reward for discovering a new species.

Only then did Yamada Masaharu realize that the big fire-breathing guy was not something he could deal with at the moment.

…

After that, kill some monsters of the level of strange birds and poisonous birds to upgrade some stars.

Then the village chief will tell Yamada Masaharu that some of the strange things in the village recently are caused by that mysterious monster. It is not a problem to let that monster wander outside our village. You are strong enough, go and kill it.

Yamada Masaharu had some psychological shadow before, mainly because Kamiya Hideki was not a human being and made you face such a terrifying BOSS when you were still a baby.

So even though the village chief said Yamada Masaharu was strong enough, he was still a little panicked in his heart.

However, as a hunter, he will have to face this situation sooner or later, so Yamada Masaharu first built and updated all the equipment, and then set off with his favorite tachi.

Qing Zhiyuan added 6 different weapons to the first generation of Monster Hunter:

Great sword, katana sword, sledgehammer, spear, light crossbow, tachi

The main reason is that the first game cannot be loaded with too many types of weapons right away. Players must have a step-by-step process. It is also to facilitate future sequels to keep updated with new content, so the weapons provided are There are not many types.

In Monster Hunter, the combat experience obtained by using different weapons is completely different.

The heavier the weapon, the more lethal it is, and the longer it takes to swing back and forth, making it difficult to operate and control.

Different weapons also have their own exclusive skills, which require players to trigger them in a certain sequence of button presses. If they are played well, they can produce very impressive output effects.

Some people like to use a sledgehammer. On the one hand, the sledgehammer can stun monsters and stun the opponent after hitting it. At the same time, the attack power is high enough, and it may only take a few hits to kill the opponent.

The katami sword requires 4 to 5 hits of a sledgehammer to deal the same damage.

However, the negative effect is also very strong, that is, the back and forth swing of the sledgehammer takes a long time. If you don't master it well, it will easily be knocked to the ground by the monster, which will directly burp the fart.

After training with different weapons, Yamada Shoji finally chose the tachi as his main weapon, mainly because the agility and lethality of the tachi are relatively average.

In other words, the performance in all aspects is good, and the difficulty of getting started is appropriate and will not make people feel uncomfortable.

And Tai Sword is also considered a more distinctive weapon type of Neon.

After Yamada Shoji worked hard for a while, he slowly became a master of swordsmanship.

However, in these n battles against the Fire Dragon, it was still quite difficult. Basically every time he encountered a new BOSS-level monster, Yamada Masaharu had to spend a certain amount of time to become familiar with the opponent's skills and find the rhythm of the attack.

But fortunately, these things have rules to follow, so once you get familiar with them, it will be fine.

After finding and defeating the Fire Dragon,

The village chief told Yamada Masaharu that it was gratifying that the village was saved.

You are already quite an amazing hunter.

…

Then Masaharu Yamada continued to do the mission, and the enemies were basically at the level of water dragons and female fires.

As the mission continued, Yamada Masaharu had killed enough monsters and gained a lot of experience.

The monsters in Monster Hunter are all very cleverly designed, with some of their own characteristics and behaviors, such as Boom Dragon:

The first move is its biting skill, which is divided into two situations. The first is to bite back the head. The second is to raise the head and bite twice.

The second move is the ground-slapping skill, which raises the claws and then causes damage to the fan-shaped ground in front.

The third move is its bulldozing skill. It raises its claws back and then stirs up gravel/soil/ice forward. If it is hit by the debris, it will also be damaged.

The fourth move is a tail flick attack. It will step back a little, then charge up its left front paw, and then flick its tail.

Fly skill, jump towards the player.

Finally, there is the dragon chariot skill that is more difficult to deal with. It is divided into two situations. It will charge 1-2 times when it is not violent.

In the violent state, it will charge 2-3 times, and after releasing the dragon chariot, it will receive a small skill.

You can use projectiles and traps to interrupt this skill, and you can also use backward swoop or side roll to avoid its skill.

Once you master these habits it will be relatively easy.

However, there is one thing about Todoroki that makes Yamada Shoji feel awkward. Other monsters will give time to rush after shaking forward, but after Todoroki's forward movement is completed, he will directly open his mouth to attack. This time point is difficult to grasp.

And once bitten by it, if you want to get up, you may be crushed again, and it is possible that you will die.

When Yamada Masaharu dealt with Todoroki, his whole back was sweating.

After finishing the fight, I almost became an expert in monster hunting.

Even Masaharu Yamada himself found it a bit incredible that pokeni actually asked him to memorize so many monster skills and behaviors in a short period of time...

Is this game too hardcore?

Even an action game master like him, who has experienced the baptism of Demon Hunter and Princess Mononoke, has to adapt to it for a while. Can you imagine how devastated a novice would be here?

Sure enough, the higher the star level, the higher the difficulty. Pokeni doesn’t deceive me!

Now Masaharu Yamada has completed the 6-star mission. Starting from 6-star, the monsters become stronger.

In short, although there are some plot lines in Monster Hunter, they are basically released according to missions and follow the star rating.

Challenge higher-star tasks, improve the hunter level, and unlock more equipment design drawings while completing these tasks. Kill the corresponding monsters, mine, fish, and collect. After collecting the materials, give them to the blacksmith to help These equipments are forged.

There is also a very special design in Monster Hunter, which is the sharpness of weapons, which is called [Zanwei] in Japanese.

Generally speaking, the sharper the same weapon, the higher the damage caused by a single attack, and the easier it is to cause damage to the monster's hard body parts.

As the sharpness decreases, the output of the weapon will also decrease accordingly.

When the killing power is too low, the hunter will flick the knife when attacking the hard body parts of the monster.

Flicking the knife will not only consume a lot of cutting power, but also make the hunter temporarily unable to move and fall into a dangerous situation.

When Masaharu Yamada saw this setting, what actually appeared in his head was not the shape of weapons, but those rough-skinned and fleshy monsters.

The creation and fit of this worldview are really touching.

A simple setting of cutting the flavor and flicking the knife immediately made the monsters' hard skin and shell deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

Yamada Masaharu couldn’t help but complain:

These monsters are really tough.

…

The higher the task star rating, the stronger the monsters you face and the higher the difficulty.

Masaharu Yamada played it for almost a week before clearing all nine-star difficulty levels, and then the game came to the end.

After in-depth investigations, the village chief and the upper echelons of the Hunter Guild have almost figured out the reason for the appearance of ancient dragons like the Lava Dragon:

It seems that because its life span is coming to an end, it will trek across the sea to find a suitable place to die, which is equivalent to finding a grave for itself.

It's just that the village happens to be in the middle of this route, so if the Lava Mountain Dragon wants to pass through the middle, it will inevitably cause huge damage to the surrounding environment.

Then the village and surrounding human strongholds may not be able to be saved.

Under such circumstances, the Hunter Guild formulated a detailed combat plan——

Prepare to intercept and bombard the Molten Dragon to change its path.

As one of them, Masaharu Yamada naturally has a responsibility, or in other words, this is his fate.

So far, the entire Monster Hunter has been connected from beginning to end, starting from the encounter with the Lava Dragon on a boat at the beginning of the film, and then ending with the Lava Dragon at the end, forming a perfect closed loop.

Masaharu Yamada couldn’t help but admire pokeni’s design capabilities.

Although it seems that the plot of the entire Monster Hunter World is very simple, it can even be said that there is no plot at all. Most of the time is spent doing tasks, such as gathering, fishing, skinning, etc...

However, as these tasks progressed step by step, Yamada Masaharu truly gained a deeper understanding of this world where monsters and humans coexist.

Instead of creating a linear story for players, pokeni creates a world.

In this world, as Qing Zhiyuan once described:

Even without the presence of players, the world is still functioning. Every monster is a part of nature, and so are humans. They are both contradictory and unified, and each is working hard for their own survival.

In this world, there is a very complex food chain, from plants and trees to small herbivores all the way to the top food chain king...

Everyone participated in the construction of the entire world, making this world extremely rich and real.

If the Insect Master created a world view of humans and insects, then Monster Hunter created an ecological world of humans and monsters.

You can't define the good and evil of these monsters, they are just part of the world and a natural existence.

When Masaharu Yamada understood this, he fell in love with the company Pokeni even more.

Not just a story, but a world.

This is Monster Hunter.

In this world, players, as hunters, are often just some of the catalysts that follow nature.

…

This last task made Yamada Masaharu marvel again:

Isn't pokeni very good at creating grand scenes?

The lava dragon, which is several hundred meters high and looks like a big mountain, is moving according to the planned route, and the guild hunters have already deployed powerful firepower on both sides of the road and directly in front of it. of artillery.

To deal with an ancient dragon of this level, it is obviously ineffective to just rely on the hunters' close slashes. The only way to penetrate its thick outer armor is to use artillery fire, but even so, it is almost impossible to deal with the molten dragon. How much actual damage does the mountain dragon cause?

This is how terrifying the ancient dragon is.

Just by facing it from the side, you can feel the powerful pressure.

Even if you are standing on a high plank road, you will still be strongly shocked when the Lava Mountain Dragon passes in front of Yamada Masaharu.

This is the most primitive fear brought by giant things.

The pokeni is really amazing.

Throughout the battle, Masaharu Yamada had to seize the opportunity, transport the shells back and forth and grasp the timing of the hit.

This battle is all about big scenes. It is very different from the way his hunters usually fight alone. It is a battle for human survival that involves the collective efforts of everyone. It is accompanied by a magnificent BGM, which makes it really epic.

This is no longer a simple battle, but more of a deduction, but allows players to participate as part of the deduction and witnessing history.

During this battle, Yamada Masaharu also deeply felt the greatness of mankind.

Compared to behemoths like the Molten Dragon, human beings are so small, but it is the gathering of such small human beings that bursts out powerful power.

…

Wow……

At this moment, Yamada Masaharu felt the magnificent beauty of life.

That’s awesome, pokeni!

Thank you for giving me such a shocking gaming experience.

In this game, as a hunter who gradually becomes mature from a novice, he has a greater respect for life.

It's really amazing to feel that in a game like this.
