      @Knavire yee,by that logic you can count dinosaurs. There were dinos with the size of buildings,although the key word here is SLOW. All of these acted like elephants,did stuff slow. Some carnivorous dinosaurs like for example Allosaurus could reach incredible speeds,but just for a sprint, not for long time,these behemoths can fight you moving like crazy for 15 minutes without problem. This is why behemoths are harder to prove possible.

      -Graphics are good on Dauntless, but MHW's graphics are even better and with way more details
      -The size of the maps, there is "only" 5 zones, but they are huuuuge
      -The monsters are few, but various and strong, with different patterns and tactics to beat them (e.g. : the Diablos is a very aggressive monster, it will charge on you whenever it sees you, or the Nergigante, its soikes grows as long as you're fighting it, and when they turn black, it will deal way more damage and if every part if its body is covered with black spikes, run for your life)

    I always ask myself if Austin really sends the email he starts at the beginning of every video to the companies, and if yes what kind of response he gets.
