User blog comment:Mckrongs/Monster Hunter Frontier Season Forward 2 and 2011 Anniversary/@comment-1011548-20110928164809

So the first videos of Forward .2 are appearing on Youtube. What do we think? Bear in mind that I don't play the game, merely watch gameplay videos, and so my opinions should be taken with mountainous piles of salt. - Spider-Monkey seems a like a very unusual monster. More agile than I expected, looks quite annoying to hit consistently, but makes up for that by being very, very unique. -I'm not sure what his/her baby is all about though, except that the Aura of Fury when the baby is lost is a great touch. - I'm less impressed with Tide Island. It's nice and bright, poisonous bugs springing from the trees is a cool touch, but... there aren't many areas (4?) and the ones that are there all seem rather similar. Plus, as mentioned, forests have already been done about a million times in Monster Hunter. - In the videos I've seen, the Wyvern Comrade/Holk looked really ineffective. Is that the case, or are they more powerful than they appear?
