If I see another tooltip…
Monster Hunter has always been a series I’ve admired from afar.
And I think I’m enjoying it?
I think those socks could be mine?

I just need to stop my brain from short-circuiting first.
Training scenarios guide you through the basics early on, teaching you how to control your hunter through doing.
Then the pace quickens, because it thinks you’d rather not dawdle.

I haven’t got a photographic memory, so I’m struggling to keep up with it all.
Everything seems to have a menu of its own.
There’s an owl called Cohoot who I can pet and feed?

There’s armour, but there’s also layered armour, which I think is basically transmog?
Village quests differ from Hub quests?
And I’m meant to consult my own comprehensive hunting manual when faced with these questions.

Thing is, I get why Rise slams you with tooltips.
That’s me admitting my waning interest, sorry.
I need to reconfigure my brain to assess rather than react, which is easier said than done.
Right now, I’m at the stage where I’m smashing buttons and hoping that each monster drops.
My hunter’s manual sits there with about a million red notification markers too.
Wish me luck folks.
