Monster Hunter: World is Capcom's 2018 action role-playing game, where players hunt large monsters in co-op or solo quests with a strict faint limit. Fail that limit and the quest ends with this distinctive failed cue, returning the hunter to base without the rewards. As clips of long hunts ending in sudden defeat circulated on YouTube and Twitch, the sting became shorthand outside the game too, reused in fail compilations and gaming memes whenever an effort that took ages collapses in seconds.
