Such a diverse array of abilities that they definitely didn't need to add anything to make him interesting!plessy,imo is one of the worst monsters, it annoyed me even more when you couldn't go after him in the water because you either had to sonic bomb his ass out,fish him out, or just...freaking wait. Back then I was strict melee,so I avoided plessy like the plague when it came to quests,because it took SO long to kill him
Sarcasm aside, Plesioth is 100x easier to range, especially with Bow. Essentially, if you keep moving on land, you should never get hit. Ever. Too bad the Demo Bow is a Water Bow...
Speaking of, the weapons they chose in the demo annoy me. Water Bow, Water Hammer, Ice SnS with Negative Affinity, what the pineapple Capcom? It's like they deliberately wanted to piss off anyone who knew anything about the game prior to the demo.
Honestly, I think they should have never brought him back. Not just because of what they've done now, but in Frontier, they couldn't even think of anything interesting for his Hardcore version. Literally the only special thing about HC Plesioth in Frontier is that his land swim is direct-able. He's one of the easiest HC monsters available. If they couldn't think of anything to make an extreme version of Plesioth, why would they re-add him to the mainstream games? It makes no sense to me at all. To compare, many HC monster variants in Frontier are literally completely different monsters...and all Plesioth gets is an upgraded land swim. Definitely exploding with ideas for him.
