“The Overall Menu Is Just Kind Of Confusing” Says Gemma’s Voice Actor, Asking Monster Hunter Wilds Community For Tips

by

Summary

  • The English voice actor for Gemma sought beginner tips from the Monster Hunter Wilds community.
  • The confusing menus were a bit intimidating for her.
  • She also skips her own dialogue all the time.

The favorable response towards Monster Hunter Wilds can be attributed to several aspects. Immediately after its release, it managed to secure a spot in Steam’s top-ten rankings and attracted over one million simultaneous players within just five hours. In the following three days, it sold an astounding eight million copies. While the producer credits the success to the narrative components, many players believe that the game’s improved accessibility compared to its predecessors is the main reason for its popularity.

Despite various opinions on why this might be, there’s no arguing that the game in general is more lenient and organized, but veteran players are the ones who tend to notice this. On the other hand, if you’re new to the series, you might find the numerous menus and systems rather overwhelming, just like Kristen McGuire, who voices Gemma in English, did at first.

Great At Smithing, Not With Menus

In the Monster Hunter Wilds community, Gemma and Alma play roles similar to Yennefer and Ciri from another popular series. Alma takes care of everything for you, much like a nurturing figure, while Gemma creates your lethal weapons using monster remains, acting as the blacksmith. However, it appears that her voice actor isn’t well-versed in the Monster Hunter Wilds universe and seems to struggle with navigating the menus.

GamesRadar noticed that McGuire recently turned to the MHWilds subreddit seeking some beginner guidance. In her post, she introduced herself and expressed her enthusiasm about the game, which she received the day prior. Being a newcomer to the Monster Hunter series, she admitted feeling inadequately prepared. She was hoping to gather some advice from the community, mentioning that she opted for the glaive as her starting weapon.

The community acknowledged her efforts and decided to offer her some guidance, such as suggesting she change her Insect Glaive since it’s a more advanced weapon. It’s not surprising that fans also had queries for her. In response to a remark suggesting the game requires much grinding, McGuire shared, “I enjoy grinding, so it doesn’t bother me, laughs. The main menu, however, can be a bit confusing.

Completely understand your perspective! The Monster Hunter series is well-known for its overwhelming number of menus and complex systems which can be quite daunting for beginners. However, with a friend guiding me, I navigated through Monster Hunter World without much trouble.

During the course of this conversation, McGuire admitted that she frequently overlooks her own lines and struggles to recall the number of times she re-recorded the line “Hello!”.
