monster hunter generations ultimate list of crossovers

As I mentioned earlier, the game manages to feel like both the definitive edition and the port, and nowhere is that more evident than the sometimes tank-like control scheme. My last major criticism–which doesn’t come from a point of comparison with Monster Hunter: World–is that Generations Ultimate often feels a little too similar to the Nintendo 3DS version for its own good.

“…I often ended up getting the feeling I was playing a Nintendo 3DS control scheme.”

The game runs better than the original Nintendo 3DS versions of the title, but that isn’t to say that it is up to par with series or console standards. Similarly, while the game is relatively smooth, anyone coming off a recent binge of Monster Hunter: World will likely feel disappointed by the overall performance on the Nintendo Switch. Between screens, I will often be waiting anyway from 15 seconds to a minute depending on how large the map or detailed the environment is. It just may be a jarring experience when playing on the TV when comparing to comparable Nintendo Switch RPG’s like Xenoblade Chronicles 2.Īside from the step back graphically, framerate and loading times never seem to come out consistently one way or the other. Environments, monsters, and characters look blocky in similar ways that handheld games do, and that isn’t to say it’s terrible.

This is to be expected, given the game is a Nintendo 3DS port being up-resed to the Nintendo Switch, hardly a remake or a remaster so much as a definitive edition. To start with the most surface-level observation, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is very apparently a scaled-back version of the series–both technically and visually.
