--- These two were among the first batch of monsters introduced, and they're still among the strongest. The Rathian's acrobatic tail swipes hit fast and cover a wide radius, while the Rathalos breathes fireballs that leave burning trails behind them. Both of them gain extra attacks when they're hurt, and they have even stronger variants in the Gold Rathian and Silver Ratha --- --- As with Genshin, getting a good meal can make your life a whole lot easier in Monster Hunter . Before heading out on a mission, be sure to stop by the Canteen and get a meal cooked up for you, whether that's a large feast in World or some dango in Ri --- --- --- Of the weapons that represent major races in the Hyrule established by the 2017 Switch launch title Breath of the Wild , three already feature in Monster Hunter 's arsenal of weapons in one way or another. The Gerudo specialize in using sword and shield combos, the Rito specialize in using bows, and the Goron specialize in using heavy swords like Claymores. Disregarding combat options such as magic rods, only the spears used primarily by the Zora do not have an equival --- --- --- Fallout 4 continues to rank as the most popular in the series, and it's easy to see why. A good story, excellent world map, and a host of DLC and user-created mod content continue to elongate the game's lifespan well past its prime, with no signs of stopping anytime s --- --- --- The Plesioth may not technically be stronger than any of the other monsters on this list, but it is one thing: Annoying. Since the very first generation of Monster Hunter , Plesioth has been a nuisance to hunters both new and old, though thankfully for newer fans it hasn't appeared in a mainline game since [[https://monsterwildlands.com/ Monster Hunter Wilds hunting Guide|Https://monsterwildlands.com/]] Hunter Generations Ultima --- --- --- This is the rare example of a joke weapon where the joke is at the expense of the player. The wooden shield is nearly unusable. It exists solely to demonstrate how ineffective a defensive playstyle is in Bloodborne , after Dark Souls had such a heavy focus on it. It even comes with a criticism in the item description, which states that shields can "engender passivi --- --- --- 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 --- --- --- 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 --- --- --- You might have an easier go at facing off against Uth Duna if you bring along some Thunder-element weapons, but the monster also has a built-in shield with an iridescent veil. Break that, and you'll be able to deal some more consistent damage against the Leviathan. It's also capable of hiding underwater and coming back out for a surprise attack, much like the Diab --- --- --- The perfect combination between a cooking game and a typing game, Cook, Serve, Delicious is a wonderful, hectic mess. The player must do their best to manage all the orders coming into their restaurant, making as few mistakes as possible with the ord --- --- --- Metal Gear Solid 5 represents a huge paradigm shift in the franchise by introducing a vast open-world for the player to explore in a non-linear fashion. Third-person action and stealth mechanics played a major role in staying alive, just as they do in Horiz --- --- --- These amazing weapons feature the one-two punch of Persona 's unofficial mascots, Jack Frost and Pyro Jack; though here, they are making their first appearance in glove form. What really makes these goofy weapons great is how they contrast with Akihiko's very serious personal --- --- --- The Monster Hunter series has always seemingly had a fascination with food. From its barbecuing mini-game, to the attention to detail found in the cutscene where your food is prepared, this is a series that has a culinary curiosity. It shouldn't be a surprise, then, that it has a number of joke weapons based on f --- --- --- Regarded as one of the best armors for PVP gameplay, the Cairnhurst Set offers elevated physical defense, as well as defense against blood attacks . Look both intimidating and kick-ass as you garb yourself head-to-toe in polished st --- --- --- Any player seeking out quality games similar to Horizon Zero Dawn should definitely give Grand Theft Auto a shot. Sure, it might not have any of the post-apocalyptic vibes or mechanical monsters featured in Horizon, but it's still a quality title that will be just as engrossing, if not m ---
