Every fight in Monster Hunter ends with some big animal pathetically limping around, coughing and wheezing as you chop up its ankles. I'm starting to think the titular monster is meant to be YOU (which is badass)

Kind of wish there’s a moment in game where after poisoning a monster and losing track of the creature it suddenly cuts to a cutscene that is similar to that one depressing part from the movie The Wolverine.
in general i have a hard time killing animals in games for the sake of killing them, like if that’s not my food source im not level grinding on a dumb innocent animal.
humans and humanoids tho
they almost always have it coming
As dumb as it sounds it’s one of the reasons I haven’t played one since world. I put over 100 hours in World and the feeling of stalking an animal limping away from you never felt right. The thing limps back to its layer and you stalk it like a monster and kill it in its home lol.
I remember spending an entire weekend trying to kill deviljo on whatever the highest difficulty is called, and when I did it Sunday night it was one of the best feelings I’ve had gaming. I don’t think I ever worked that hard for a game thing. It beat my ass so bad so many times.
I remember trying a Monster Hunter game years ago and the first thing it told me to do was to go stab some lazyass herbivores that were just vibing with literally zero agro and I thought "Why" and haven't touched one since.
it's a simple cycle. kill/capture monster, make armor and weapons from monster parts, go kill bigger monsters with armor and weapons. repeat. you play for the satisfaction of progression.
It is a boss rush where you work your way up from murdering giant versions of dinosaur like creatures to fantasy dinosaurs to straight up fantasy creatures and it is great.
It makes sense; Our primary hunting skills are ingenuity and tenacity. We'd literally track animals for miles, wearing it down further in brief but brutal coordinated efforts.
Most other animals don't have the instinct to pace themselves: They move in bursts that would deter predators that
Even worse is waiting until it's severely hurt, returns to it's lair to rest, and subsequently stacking bomb barrels to blow it to shit and wake it up.
Isn't the premise of every single game that you go to some new place and start massacring the wildlife to make them into hats? Except like, with some rhetoric about how you're protecting people from them? People who are just there in the place with all the giant monsters for... reasons.

I can’t keep up.
Its literally us or them in that universe.
If there were elephant sized bears in our world you bet theyd be hunted to extinction in civilized areas asap.

We're the only species that will chase prey to the ends of the earth.
And some of the mons you hunt are dangerous to the ecosystem, Ala Deviljo
Except for Raging Brachydias. That mfer had it coming!
