Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Demo

TLDR: Nope. Bad, convoluted controls and a tutotiral that doesn't teach you anything. I had never played a MH game before but thought I might give them a try; it might be a good co-op game with my buddy. For background: I'm in my mid-40s and have been playing games since before the NES, I am educated in video game design, I was a professional game tester for nearly 10 years...I have played a HUGE swath of game types across all systems/consoles/PC control schemes. I was ready for the slower-paced, more methodical combat but....who the hell designed the UI/controls for this? They are SO BAD! The tutorials are not even tutorializing how to do anything... -Am I supposed to be holding the button or tapping it? -Dive-roll is a button-combo move? -Why is 'jump' on a differnt button if I'm on foot or riding the dog? And who decided on R2 for jump? -Why haven't you introduced the 'Block' button? -It's not locking-on like you said it would. -How come quick-tapping the item button is openning the 'Assign quick-use item' menu instead of, y'know, using the item? -Why are my main attack buttons Triangle and Circle while both X and Square unequip my weapon? -Why do I need to mov…

Who designed the tutorial and the controls?

That's possible the worst tutorial I ever got. There's far too many things too early on. What are all these modes? Demon mode? What does that do? Scroll wheel does what? Random buttons on my mouse that my mouse doesn't have is my special moves? I've never been so confused by a game in my life. I'm never going to get those 13 minutes back.

it's just so overwhelmingly boring. the combat is just spamming attacks mindlessly until the enemy dies, and are the floating numbers and other immersion breaking garbage mechanics really that necessary?

CAPCOM COOKED

Terrible game, do not play this. Doesn't work at all on a pc that can handle it, no graphics, boring and uninteresting combat, go play a GOOD capcom game, like DMC3.
