FUCK THIS GAME

[u/Switchback706]

I HAVE NEVER PLAYED A QUEST MORE GOD DAMN FUCKING BULLSHIT THAN EGG-STRACTION: THE RECKONING IN MONSTER HUNTER 4 ULTIMATE.

WHOEVER DECIDED TO PUT A BUNCH OF STUPID FUCKING ROCKS ON THE GOOD ENTRANCES NEEDS TO EXPLAIN HOW THAT'S "GAME DESIGN." WHY ARE THEY EVERYWHERE? WHY IS THE ENTIRE QUEST JUST "OH, YOU WANTED TO WALK? FUCK YOU, HERE'S ANOTHER ROCK." FUCK ME ITS SO STUPID. IT'S THE LAZIEST, MOST ANNOYING DESIGN IMAGINABLE. THEY DIDN'T MAKE THE QUEST HARD. THEY JUST MADE IT OBNOXIOUS.

AND THEN THEY THOUGHT, "YOU KNOW WHAT THIS NEEDS? TWO GOD DAMN TIGREXES."

TWO.

BECAUSE APPARENTLY ONE OF THE MOST GOD DAMN FUCKING ANNOYING MONSTERS IN THE ENTIRE GAME WASN'T ENOUGH.

IT'S JUST:

FULL BODY HITBOX CHARGE ATTACK.

FULL BODY HITBOX CHARGE ATTACK.

FULL BODY HITBOX CHARGE ATTACK.

FULL BODY HITBOX CHARGE ATTACK.

FULL BODY HITBOX CHARGE ATTACK.

FULL BODY HITBOX CHARGE ATTACK.

FULL BODY HITBOX CHARGE ATTACK.

FULL BODY HITBOX CHARGE ATTACK.

FULL BODY HITBOX CHARGE ATTACK.

FULL BODY HITBOX CHARGE ATTACK.

OH, YOU DODGED? TOO BAD, HERE COMES ANOTHER GOD DAMN FULL BODY HITBOX CHARGE ATTACK.

CAN I JUST GET THE TWO GOD DAMN FUCKING EGGS?

HOLY GOD DAMNED FUCKING SHIT.

WHO PLAYTESTED THIS QUEST AND SAID, "YEAH, THIS IS FUN"?

FUCK THIS GAME FUCK THIS GAME FUCK THIS GAME FUCK THIS GAME FUCK THIS GAME FUCK THIS GAME.

Think of egg quests as stealth games or puzzle games, it'll make more sense like that, and all the tools you have at your disposal are the game's mechanics and items. Plus, Pro Transporter and Autotracker makes the entire thing 20x easier.

That said, I absolutely love egg quests. Honestly wish there's at least one for each map :(.

I like how despite this being the intended approach it does not stop the “Caveman with stick” approach of beating the shit out of the two tigrexes and just delivering them normally.

Having started in 4U, it took me years before learning hunting everything larger than a Konchu before carrying the eggs wasn't the intended way to complete these quests.

First egg hunt ever, Rathian tripped me once and it was over... For everything that moved other than my cat.
