In any case, while Breath of the Wild 's influence might be seen in a bit of Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin , Capcom's newest entry in their franchise will surely stand on its own. July looks to be a busy month for Nintendo , with Monster Hunter Stories 2 helping to boost up the Switch's sales potential. Fans of the Monster Hunter series won't have to wait too much longer to experience this newest entry, either. Players will soon be able to explore all that Monster Hunter Stories 2 has to offer, and will be able to see for themselves if it feels anything like Breath of the Wi
The newest installment in the spin-off series focuses on a young Monster Rider that comes into contact with a newly-hatched Rathalos. Players will have to unravel the mystery of a prophecy concerning the titular Wings of Ruin in this new Monster Hunter RPG adventure. Monster Hunter Stories 2 might share similarities with Pokemon in its turn-based battles and monster capturing, but the game also seems to be drawing some inspiration from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the W
In the end, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild obviously doesn't hold a monopoly on every gameplay element within its scope. It does, however, seem to be a blueprint for a bunch of new adventure games releasing these days. The player desire for deeply explorable worlds, and environments filled with life and excitement, is something that will never go a
Next up, we have the bestiary for T he Witcher 3: Wild Hunt . Rather than unlocking a creature's bestiary when catching them, you can unlock pages by reading books and listening to folktales. These acquired descriptions of creatures. Because of this, you can learn more about creatures in the world as you explore new ar
With a game as cute as Calico , a menu of equally adorable goodies has to be involved. Since everything adopts a cutesy cat-like appearance, it’s hard to narrow down the list to find the most precious item. But this kitty Cornet is definitely one of the most adora
Those 3DS entries Monster Hunter 4 and 4 Ultimate introduced seasoned hunters to a pair of new weapons: the Insect Glaive and Charge Blade. This brought the weapon count in mainline entries up to 14 (not counting tools like the Frontier -exclusive Magnet Spike), and it seems Capcom is happy with the balance considering no new weapons were added in World or Rise . However, there is still room for new weapons to help diversify the series, and one seemingly obvious exclusion has a perfect template in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - the sp
If there’s one thing that isn’t a lie about this baked good, it's how delicious this cake looks. As one of Portal’s most frequent references, a lot of attention has been drummed up towards this black forest cake, and its appearance toward the end of the first game pays off - even if players never get the satisfaction of a sl
Monster Hunter Rise will release for the Nintendo Switch on March 26, marking the second outing of Capcom's popular series on the hybrid console following 2018's Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate . Before Monster Hunter World became a sales juggernaut for the developer as a multiplatform release, Monster Hunter games had a history of Nintendo exclusivity. Monster Hunter Tri released on the Wii, and multiple follow-ups releasing for the 3DS and Wi
In these Dragon Quest games, you can find models of the monsters and, like other entries on our list, information about the lore of the game. Interestingly, this isn’t specific to the Monster spinoffs. Even in main Dragon Quest games, you can find a bestiary
In Hollow Knight , the bestiary is referred to as your Hunter’s Journal. Rather than having it at the start of the game, you will need to acquire it; fortunately, this can happen pretty early on in the g
From the Demonic Compendium, you can also summon previously obtained demons. For example, if you fused two demons together but want one of the two again, you can pay a bit of money to summon them. This makes the Demonic Compendium a useful tool in addition to providing information on encountered dem
One possibility has the hunter intentionally aim for their mark with the intent to impale them - harkening back to images of hunts painted on cave walls by the ancestors of humanity, just replacing the Woolly Mammoths of the Rouffignac cave with Monster Hunter Generations ' Gammoth . This may fail and bounce off a monster's hide, but if it succeeds in sticking, then a monster could take bleeding damage similar to what the Seregios inflicts with its razor-sharp sca
Let’s take a look at the entry for Drowners. The complete entry for Drowners explains that they aren’t actually dead humans, but an entirely new species. Overall, they live in dirty conditions and eat trash. They don’t often leave the water, webpage but if it’s a rainy night, you might find one on l
To balance out a weapon that spends much of its time stuck in a monster or the ground, it seems right to provide hunters some extra benefit while unarmed. Perhaps they could run faster while unencumbered, or simply have an easier time setting up traps and utilizing other items. It's easy to posit what a good weapon could be and much harder to actually implement one in a series as complex as Monster Hunter is already, but a thought experiment such as this shows the possibilities for new weapons are limitless when pulling from the right source mater
