Even if you go into armor customization to change the colors, you can’t remove the pink border from the girl’s outfit (though you can turn the whole boy’s outfit pink if you want.)ĭisappointed, but unfortunately, not surprised, I resigned myself to the fact that the clothing imbalance was going to continue. Apparently being a boy means horned hoods with capes and pants, while being a girl is a lifetime of cat-ear hats, leggings with thigh-high boots, and pom-poms. It’s almost everything, down to the colors. Though, maybe if I’d been paying attention to the townsfolk, I’d have had more inkling of what was about to happen. Because gone was the seemingly equal outfit design and back was the different clothing based on gender. And that’s the first true time you get to see the character you’ll be playing the rest of the game.Īnd that, dear reader, was the first time my hopes were dashed. Even after character creation, your outfit doesn’t change depending on which of the two gender options you pick (I didn’t get my hope up that much, though maybe one day we’ll have a neutral option in a MH game). And things unfold in typical MH fashion (Repeat after me: That escalated quickly), and time passes and then the game really begins. At the very beginning, your character looks incredibly neutral. Now, I have to say, I was incredibly disappointed, because this game got my hopes up. Unfortunately, though, this game manifests some of my least favorite aspects of the Monster Hunter series: it still unnecessarily genders things. I’ve only played for about 10 hours, and most of the was spent riding around and exploring and not advancing the plot, but it already feels expansive. Plus, any game that lets me tame a bunch of monsters (called ‘Monsties’ in this game) to make a rather adorable, cuddly, world-crushing zoo is my sort of game.
MONSTER HUNTER RIDERS OUTFIT SERIES
It combines my favorite parts of the Monster Hunter series with fun aspects of Pokemon, and is remarkably low stress. I originally thought that it was just the kind of a game that could tide you over until Monster Hunter World comes out in January, but man, this game is fun! I don’t think I’ve had this much fun playing a game in a long time.
I recently started playing Monster Hunter Stories on the 3DS.
