Okay, guys. I think I'm starting to figure out why I think the monster hunts in this game are easier in this one. It's not just that the monsters don't hit as hard, it's also because you now have so many ways to stun monsters.

I know hammers are good for KOing mosnters, but that only applies when the monster has stars above it's head. It's pretty simple to knock monsters over and it happens a lot thanks to this new ride feature.

This really makes hunts much easier and I don't think capcom made the monsters harder to compensate for it.
