User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Monster Hunter Frontier G/@comment-765166-20140331091128


 * Can't say I have the best word on which update was greater than the rest as I have long since not played the game but G3 was the current update when I returned during my hiatus. It got me hyped when they were teasing about G-Rank Fatalis and overall I'm one of the rare few to actually appreciate the monsters they make for the game.
 * I'd say that Dhisufiroa was my favorite from the G bunch. Resides in a place of its own isolated from other monsters. What to expect but the best of the Monsters from Elder Dragons? Baruragaru and Zerureusu comes close as well.
 * Now something I could least appreciate was Lolo and Ray Gougarf. I mean their colors would indeed stand out too much in the wild, but so do other monsters like Congalala. But I do think the Magnet Ailment on them seems a bit out of place just so they can have other monsters to have the ailment. But then the farcaster spit of Velocidrome doesn't make sense either, except if they explain that its spit has some similar qualities to the Item. Then there's Shanthien which design-wise I find lackluster. Maybe it's its size that doesn't match with its powers at latter fights? But to be fighting a monster in an airship has been a dream of a lot of hunters even before Frontier G. Meraginasu also has a mention here, don't know why but something about it is off.
 * I don't think it's fair for everyone to be bashing at the Frontier team for attempting a different path towards the series. I don't even think that these people play the game at all to fully judge it too. I'm honestly getting sick of the same "add spikes" and "so over the top, with extra lasers on top. The main series have its ups and downs too, like Dara not causing damage when its literally moving towards you. Wouldn't that be like getting hit by a truck? Frontier can get "realistic" too when it comes to monster design. There's Taikun Zamuza. There's Baruragaru. There are reasons why these newer monsters are what they are. There's a place for the series to go unnatural. In fact I find Dhisufiroa to be just like how Teostra or Kushala Daora is, it just controls three elements. No one was this iffy when Alatreon was around, and it controlled more elements. I'd bet the main series can make Alatreon as OP as Dhisu when they decide to give it a return. Reskins have been happening ever since the first generation. I bet these things go under approval and they won't even get approved if they're too ridiculous for the series.

tl;dr: Don't instantly hate. View it from a different standpoint away from the mainstream perspective and you'll learn how to appreciate things.
