Dauntless Is a Straight-Up Monster Hunter Clone, but It’s Better in a Lot of Ways

Greysun writes: "We can't lie: Dauntless is a one-for-one clone of Monster Hunter. Despite the similarities, the action RPG makes some changes that make it more accessible."

My only issue with the game is that some of the behemoths you fight against don't really have a creative design (some literally have the same body type like Pangar, Gnasher and Hellion). Some were pretty distinct though like Shrowd, Rezakiri and Kharabak, though most of them seem to have a body type of either a wolf or a bear. Sure, they all have different attacks but I still wished they did more with the designs other than designing differently the head.

I still like the game (coming from a MH fan) but I still kinda wished the game had more crazier monster designs.

I wish there was a monster hunter where you hunted actual monsters like from Bloodborne and Dark Souls games instead of just these majestic creatures that seem to be just minding their own business.

JRMVN2176d ago (Edited 2176d ago )

How can you even say that, Monster Hunter World has Monsters and Dark Souls does not have monsters. What in the fuck...

CorndogBurglar2176d ago

So you've clearly never played Monster Hunter. Otherwise you would know that the majority of the monsters in that game attack you on site. Minding their own business? Sure. Unfortunately their business is killing and eating you.

Lionsguard2175d ago (Edited 2175d ago )

I have played Monster Hunter actually. One of the quests: "Hey guy, this family of totally docile plant eaters are chilling at this beach, kill them because whatever". Jokes aside, just because creatures attack on site doesn't make them "monsters". They (the players) ARE invading their little island. It's like me showing up to the savannas of Africa to hunt Lions and they end up attacking me and killing me, that doesn't now make them "monsters". The island is an eco-system. Face it, whatever monster you kill ends up on the dinner board and chopped up by a cat while any monsters you capture get thrown into a ring so you can satiate further bloodlust in an arena.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not some vegan, peta-protester, green peace idiot crying foul. I just find it dumb that these are monsters that need to be killed. I'd rather hunt actual monsters from the depths of hell or freaky Lovecraftian creatures. Not giant dragons that are just nesting. This game gave me zero reasons to actually care about killing these creatures. But I guess some people are just easily sated by the "kewl lootz".

ever played the god eater series?

Lionsguard2175d ago

I just looked that up, it seems interesting. I'm not too crazy about the whole anime look however.

CorndogBurglar2175d ago

I get what you're saying, just don't really agree with it.

Those docile monsters you're talking about aren't the monsters. They are basically the cattle of the game. Its no different than us humans hunting deer for food.

And your comparison about the lions in Africa isn't really the same thing either. In Monster Hunter you are inhabiting a new place to live. Expanding society. So naturally giant man-eating creatures need to be removed.

I understand though. Demons from hell and actual "evil" beings are more interesting to you as enemies nd there's nothing wrong with that at all.

PMind2175d ago

If you bothered to read the lore, for what it is, these creatures, while minding their own business, are feeding off of Aether which is what holds the world together and keeps everything alive. They are basically getting high on the stuff and becoming so powerful that they collectively threaten to tear everything apart. You are balancing things out. On that note, I wish there as more creatures other than just the one behemoth chilling by itself. Some minions or random stuff other than just a stray deer or whatever. (I haven't played since beta so no idea of this has happened)

MH world is a menu simulator with $hit controls compared to Dauntless. IMO

Edito2175d ago

Am I the only one who fully agrees with you? I like MH the idea and the concept but I just can't play it because of those stupid menus and controls... Sorry the game is phenomenal but I don't have access to all of its greatness...

AK912175d ago

That is debatable Dauntless is easily a cheaply made cash grab version of MHW, don't get me wrong it isn't a bad game itself but I'm a quality over quantity kind of guy.

BlackDoomAx2175d ago

It's just MHW for the audience of fortnite.

chris2352175d ago

not interested in this clone. come back when you created something worth the while.

On the same day MH Wilds recieved rave reviews, no less loo

This is what the eu petition is about - why should it be deleted? Let it be played but limited services. make it a standalone game. All that work and you're deleting it?

Inverno75d ago

It's funny how Ninty, which would be the last Publisher I'd expect to do anything about an MP game shutting down, made Animal Crossing Pocket it's own paid game instead of letting it outright die. My point: just grab your MP game, sell a complete edition for cheap, let people host their own servers and viola. You'd continue to profit without needing to worry about server maintenance, and people who genuinely enjoyed these games can continue playing it whenever they feel like it.

I Am Sick of Rathalos and Capcom Should Retire Him in the Next Monster Hunter Game

MHHQ: Capcom insists on making Rathalos, the King of the Skies, a Monster Hunter mascot, but at this point, I believe he should step down.

He's been in most, if not all the games and is iconic to the series. I guess he can be considered the unofficial mascot but every game has its own unique monster as the poster boy.

Because you had fun. I started Monster Hunter with my son on PSP 17 years ago. We put a ton of hours into the games since then. Never did I look back at any game I’ve sunk a lot of hours into and think, I might regret having all that fun.

BlackDoomAx83d ago

Because it's the best coop experience that you can have.
