Monster Hunter World

>Despite the lack of a number, World was developed with the intent of being "Monster Hunter 5" and was built specifically to target foreign audiences who found the series too challenging.

>Like all first releases of a generation, World only goes up to High Rank. Capcom has not confirmed or denied whether G Rank content will be made, or how it will be released if it is.

>World has the first instances of paid DLC in the franchise. All paid DLC thus far has been cosmetic, and thus far all announced monster-related content is free.

>There is no longer a Village/Gathering Hall distinction. All quests can be done multiplayer. By the same token, players can no longer take on "multiplayer" quests solo, since when in single player the difficulty is set lower, and only switched to the higher difficulty if other players are present. Like in previous titles, it's a purely single/multi distinction, so difficulty is the same regardless of number of players

>Online servers are now region-free, so JP players can play with foreign players and vice versa. Filters can be set by language.

>World is rather story-intensive even compared to 4, with a large amount of cutscenes both between and during hunts. Cutscenes are unskippable. Voice acting in actual languages appears for the first time in the franchise, though traditional "Monster Hunter" language can also be enabled.

>HP damage numbers that indicate how much damage attacks do appear for the first time. They can be turned off.

>Glowing green bugs highlight interactable objects on the screen and guide the player to the monster. The ability to track monsters starts weaker and increases the more experience they gain until they at all times display a monster's position. They cannot be turned off.

>An in-game wiki-like feature has been included that gives rough estimations of weak points and drop rates.

>World launched with 30 large monsters. For comparison the most recent non-G Rank Monster Hunter titles, 4 and X/Generations, had 51 and 69 respectively. Patches will be released to up the monster count, with the first set for sometime in the spring to add Deviljho.

>Armor is no longer distinguished between Blademaster and Gunner. Regardless of weapon any armor can be equipped, with melee weapons giving a defensive boost and ranged weapons giving an elemental resistance boost.

>Armor Skills no longer require a base threshhold of points to activate, even a single point in a Skill is enough to activate it, with the effect increasing at higher levels. There are no Minus Skills. Further, some Armor sets have "set bonuses" that activate when wearing multiple pieces of the same set.

>New tools that can be used an infinite number of times with a cooldown between uses. Effects range from providing periodic healing to status resistance, even up to stealth effects and damage negation.

>Due to the removal of loading screens between zones, maps are about 2-2.5x the size of previous titles.

>Each map now has multiple base camps, which can be freely teleported to at any time when not in combat.

>Base camps allow the player to restock on all items freely throughout the hunt, as well as change out gear wholesale, including any items on cooldown. Players can eat multiple times per hunt at base camps as well.

>Bowguns can now be fired and items used "on the move." For instance, Potions no longer require the player to stand still, and with a slight loss of speed the players can even run while drinking. As a caveat, healing is no longer instant, and occurs throughout the duration of the drinking part of the animation.

>Whetstones, Bug Nets, and Pickaxes are no longer consumable items, instead simply being infinite use.

>Combinations can be "preprogrammed" to run automatically, allowing players to combine for more Potions or ammunition without needing to find a safe opening to open the menu.

>Areas now contain environmental traps that can restrain monsters or knock them into other areas. Some of these can affect the player as well.

>Regardless of other gear, all players now have a "Slinger" to fire off items that were previously thrown as projectiles, as well as to interact with the environment as a grappling hook for travel or to utilize environmental traps.

>Some monsters will ignore the players entirely until attacked, and monsters will at times ignore the players even mid-battle in favor of entering short interactive cutscenes where they battle other monsters, dealing large amounts of damage to them and possibly incapacitating them.

Copypaste from prior thread, thank you for your hard work anon

Did some research on Tempered Monsters in MHW

And collected them in this post for easy digestion.

What is a tempered monster?

Tempered monsters are the endgame/postgame monsters in MHW.

They are just like the regular monsters, but have increased attack power (enough to one shot geared hunters with certain attacks.)

Tempered monsters also have a purple outline in their icon and leave blue tracks.

Investigations with tempered monsters also have purple reward boxes.

Categorically the tempered monsters fall into 3 groups:

>1st tier, HR 13+.

Pukei-Pukei

Barroth

Jyuratodus

Tobi-Kadachi

Radobaan

Paolumu

Rathian

Anjanath

>2nd tier, HR 30+

Rathalos (Might be tier 1, could not confirm)

A.Rathalos

P.Rathian

Diablos

B.Diablos

Odogaron

Legiana

Bazelgeuse

Lavasioth

Uragaan

>3rd tier, HR 50+

Nergigantte

Teostra

Kushala Daora

Vaal Hazak

Kirin

Higher the tier, the better the rewards.

Note: the highest rarity drops are exclusive to the 3rd tier.

Where to fight them?

Tempered monsters are primarily investigation only, there are also few quests that pit you against tempered monsters.

Tempered monster investigations are generally unlocked by gathering tempered tracks in expeditions. (These tracks seem to always spawn in the same spots)

You can also them the same way as normal investigations when hunting tempered monsters. (break parts, gather tracks) But the chance is very low.

They are also found under Investigations section when responding to S.O.S.

Why fight them?

Tempered monsters drop streamstones in rewards and tempered monster investigations reward either streamstones or feystones.

Streamstones are used to augment Armor. They also come in different rarities.

Streamstones can also be used at the melding pot to create new random decorations out of the old ones.

You can also rarely get "warrior's streamstone" from 2nd tier upwards, they come in different types like Axe (Switch Axe & Charge Blade), Ranged (Bowgun's & Bow), etc, and can be used to augment the corresponding weapon types.

Warrior's streamstones also have a rare version called "hero's streamstone" needed for augmenting Tier 8 weapons.

Note: that lower rarity armor require lower rarity streamstones to augment and lower rarity weapons have more augment slots.

Feystones turn into decorations when identified, and come in several different rarities.

This is the only real way of getting rare decorations, and the fastest way of getting decorations in general.

There are decorations for at least some of the set bonuses present in the game. (Bonus charge level for bow, Extra damage on non elemental weapons, etc).

Augmenting quick and dirty

Weapons can be Augmented following ways:

Increased attack (+5 raw)

Increased affinity (+10%)

Bonus defense (+10)

Extra slots (potentially upgrade existing slot)

Heal on attack

Note: Numbers can potentially vary depending on weapon type.

Rarity 8 weapons have 1 augment slot, Rarity 7 has 2 and Rarity 6 has 3.

Each augment also requires different plates and gems for different monsters.

Note: A weapon must be at the end of it's upgrade path to be augmented.

Fuggin Poogie me up fam

I need those pajama pig scratchin and huggin

>>14318174

Part of the group that just started doing new 4U files the other day, so HR 2 at the moment. Gonna grab a bite to eat then see if anyone wants to do more hunting.

>>14318120

Armors look good. Some of the new stuff is pretty cool looking. Weapons on the other hand are lazy as fuck. Lots of similar designs with slight tweaks until you get to the higher level stuff that is far fewer in number.

>>14318120

Not as bad as the weapons. Still kinda lazy since they "combined" Blademaster and Gunner armor, the blacksmith even tries feeding you some shit line about how "it had to be done so we could survive"

>>14318199

As least they lore'd it. Most games retcon such drastic mechanic changes.

So I want to get into this series but only have a 3ds which one do I start with?

>>14318186

Honestly, I don't love a lot of the armor. Things like the Raths no longer look iconic at all because they went more realistic, less saturated/cartoony.

>>14318199

>Still kinda lazy since they "combined" Blademaster and Gunner armor

But now they have alpha and beta sets for each armor.

>>14318251

3 Ultimate would probably be best on the 3DS, though if you want to do multiplayer, go for 4 Ultimate. If you have a decent PC that can run PPSSPP though emulate Freedom Unite and/or Portable 3rd.

>>14318255

See above, just emulate the PSP games.

>>14318255

>It's casualized to appeal to shitters

Having never played MH, you wouldn't know the difference.

>>14318329

Desperation for monster hunter on consoles, or completely new players that bought it out of hype.

>>14318257

>But now they have alpha and beta sets for each armor.

I mean they're the same designs with some tweaks. It's not nothing, sure.

>>14318329

I buy ever single western MH release. I bought a Wii U to play 3U even though I already had it on 3DS, too.

Is it impossible or very difficult to catch up to a friends level if they bought the game at launch? I’ll not be buying this until next week and don’t want to be carried or under level.

>>14318329

I've never played a high rank game before and didn't know they were this bad.

I also didn't know world was even worse.

>>14318354

You stop "leveling" fairly quickly, go ahead.

>>14318184

Man it's like 10pm why do you guys all live on the other side of the planet?

>>14318313

>go for vaal number 20, join an investigation for it and get a disconnect error on entry

MOMMY MAKE IT STOP

>>14318354

How hard could it possibly be for them to use some lower rank weapons and just help you rank up?

Does elementless work with poison/para/sleep weapons?

We need a /v/ version of that steam screenshot of all those "boycott modern warfare 2" group members playing modern warfare 2 with world instead.

>>14318412

I'm not, i gotta get in on it. luckily on the fucked investigation I was able to get the last fang i needed. now i just need another fuckin' anja gem but that might be enough MH for me for one night. the droprates are more lenient in world but farming is still pretty draining.

>>14318383

This would be my first MonHun. I didn’t even realise that was a possibility. I assumed progress was tied to character levels.

I’m excited to play. i just need to finish Bloodborne first

>>14318199

At least there is no longer the issue of the gunner armor looking cooler than the blademaster but you only play blademaster.

But let's be real they could have just made it so you buy one armor and it's appearance changes based on if you're using a gunner or blademaster weapon

>>14318459

If it's challenge you want. Play Freedom Unite, fighting the stiff controls and front-loaded difficulty makes the game plenty challenging. Especially if you don't do the village elder quests and just do the gathering hall quests solo(which are harder because they're all balanced for at least 2 people). Honestly though I had fun playing through the whole game solo on gathering hall quests, it felt like a better paced experience than the village elder quests. It goes from gathering and small monster quests to big monster quests a lot faster and that alone is worth it.

>>14318475

>Started playing MonHun at Freedom Unite When I bought a Vita

>Wait 6 years for Monster Hunter to be freed from the shackles of PS2 graphics

>It becomes normalfag central because the rest of the industry is such shit

Who used the monkeypaw?

>>14318475

>lifestyle games

That fag from extra credits is a goddamn retard, but I like this term. It’s a good way to describe what is the essence of mmos without getting into the semantics of mmos or how they are all trash. I think most people back the idea of a constantly evolving game with a strong feedback loop designed to be enjoyed with (and not against) friends.

Yeah it’s been around for a long time, but the current environment makes it a lot more appealing. The socialisation of videogaming, high speed unlimited data and the availability and ease of console gaming make it easy for large communities of normalfags to keep games alive, which incentivises developers to continue developing updates.

>>14318492

I've been petting poogie since freedom unite but he still resents me for the times i forgot

>>14318484

I used it and I'm not sorry. Anything that drags the unwashed masses kicking and screaming just a little bit further for the money pit is a good thing even if it leaves a stain.

>>14318329

MonHun fans generally aren't since they know there'll be a G version, it's mostly newfags who fell for the marketing.

>>14318367

Honestly you're probably closer to the other players than I am. If you're still up for Low Rank 4U or 4G hunting though, say so and I'll post a room.

>>14318406

That would require such a thing to happen in the first place.

>>14318425

Awesome. Have a great time!

>>14318435

This should get added to the next OP

>>14318459

Probably Freedom Unite from the sound of it.

>>14318465

There's no level system. The Hunter's Rank is a sense of progress through the content, but it doesn't inherently power you up or anything.

>>14318475

>lifestyle game

The fuck? That sounds more like something like Animal Crossing.

>>14318484

>stiff controls

The only potential problem with the controls is the camera if you can't into claw, but he'd be playing on PPSSPP anyway so you can just map the D-Pad to the second stick.

>>14318500

>further from the money pit

>added paid DLC for the first time in the franchise

Anon, you fucked up something awful.

>>14318501

Thanks for fixing my mistake.

It's a fucking monkey paw, ironic consequences was a given.

>>14318501

The camera is pretty shit even with a second stick because it has such limited vertical range before it awkwardly jerks straight up or down.

>added paid DLC for the first time in the franchise

And you know how it is with Capcom. First game it's just a little bit of paid DLC. Next game it's 65% of the content is paid DLC.

>>14318515

Modern Sunrise suffers sameface something awful, I could've sworn that was Shinn until I saw the filename

>>14318519

The farther up and down angles are bizarre and I haven't found a use for them, true, but I honestly like the "tiered" vertical angles more than the free ones used underwater in 3 or in general from 4 onward.

>>14318515

just follow the horse around

kirin's the easiest thing to farm research levels for with how many footprints and how much fur it drops

>>14318255

>I just exist to regurgitate acceptable opinions on /v/ instead of forming my own

its designed to appeal to you.

>>14318549

But that's not an opinion, it's a fact that World was toned down to sell to people who were too shit to play Monster Hunter, the director outright said as much in the very first interview after the reveal. It's your opinion on whether or not the game is still good in spite of that, but it is very much a fact that World was, as Anon put it, "casualized to appeal to shitters."

>>14318501

>MonHun fans generally aren't since they know there'll be a G version, it's mostly newfags who fell for the marketing.

This is hella not true, everyone I know who plays MH bought this, although most of them only started with 3U, me and two others started on PS2. I know crazy motherfuckers who always imported the non-G versions anyways.

>>14318484

>>14318501

Freedom Unite it is, then. Are any of the MonHun clone franchises challenging? I've only played Soul Sacrifice out of those.

>>14318515

>Kirin is the ultimate "no fun allowed" monster when it comes to melee.

Bring a hammer, he's 30% head, it's hella fun braining that dumb horse

>>14318529

> I could've sworn that was Shinn until I saw the filename

how do you not recognize one of the top meme faces

>>14318586

Because Shinn makes almost identical expressions and he appears more often in SRW

>>14318501

>That would require such a thing to happen in the first place.

Can you explain this? Are you referring to the Steam screenshot? It certainly happened, except I think the game was Fallout 4.

>>14318614

As in for there to be an organized movement to boycott World, and for it to be populated with people who are playing World.

>>14318598

Stack thunder res and equip the horn on your palico. At max level, he plays both stun and paralyze negate songs.

>>14318624

a mia crossover with mh would be interesting

>>14318618

I think once the game comes out on Steam, you'll see a significant amount of people in various 8/v/ Steam groups playing it, which I think was the point in the original post mentioning it.

>>14318629

Thats my dream game

I want to make something like that

That's an extremely satisfying video

>>14318598

Honestly I don't get this, Being near Kirin isn't that terrible, he throws lightning everywhere and he tells pretty hard when he's about to do it in front of him. Also, superpound doesn't bounce so you can ignore his armored form.

Anyone else waiting for MHW PC release? Think it'll be decently optimized?

>>14318843

i wanted to wait but couldn't. my entire base of friends bought it on piss4 and i knew they wouldn't want to grind again in the PC version. i think it'll probably be decently optimized. i'm more stoked for lewd mod potential

Not for doing damage, but for being a distraction, and using mounting attacks to down a monster for everyone else to beat the shit out of. Also i'm not talking rank 1 gear for fucks sake, you can contribute on any level with at least rank 5 weapons. Tempered monsters don't get increased health or defense, they just fuck you up if you get hit.

>>14318257

>Things like the Raths no longer look iconic at all because they went more realistic

I could see that. Personally I'm more mad that the gunner variants were not included in some way shape or form. They have those A/B versions of high level armor, but even then those are mostly just minor tweaks to the design like a reply to you said rather than the big alterations that the original gunner/blade sets had. This game really fucked up a whole lot of things the more I think about it. I mean you can still have fun, but the little annoying things add up quickly.

>>14318484

I did..Though it wasn't so much a graphics deal for me. My first MH was the first MH on the PS2. Playing on my handheld wasn't the same as playing on my TV, so I naturally wanted something akin to my original experience. I regret wishing for things like this though. Last one I wished for was to see DoW3 get made, and we all know how that turned out.

>>14319701

No problem, wouldn't be fun if it was too easy. Let's hunt again sometime! Though I almost feel bad botching up the classy Valkyrie theme with the most generic old man just hanging around there.

>>14319503

> 1516998609894

>no audio

hmmmm.

>>14319503

context for second clip? is there more?

>>14319718

I don't know what the fuck that anon is talking about. Rathalos looks bright red and you would have to be blind to think his old version looks more saturated than the new one. Rathalos is bright red and doesn't blend into the environment at all. None of the monsters have this issue.

So… what is the elderseal for? I managed to make Nergigante's greatsword or greataxe, depending on how you see it and I'm curious what is that stat for and what is effective against.

>>14320533

I might be wrong, but from what I've heard, it's a status effect that negates the unique effects and special auras some dragons have. Once it triggers, it'll temporarily disable Teostra's flame aura, or Kushala's wind aura, for example. I also saw someone say it would stop Nergigante's spikes from hardening, and prevent Vaal Hazak from spreading his fog.

>>14320583

So it is useful only against elder dragons? I'm at rank 14 and I'm on a quest to get all weapon upgrades before stepping further.

>>14320533

>>14320583

Rather than prevent, it removes the ability if they are using it, until they decide to use it again.

Also makes them flinch more often.

>>14320512

Is it really? Even if you're using the mon's weakness? I hear people say this but I dunno.

I always weapon collect and switch out for whatever monster we're fighting, am I still doing less than raw?

>>14320865

It depends on exactly how much raw vs. element you're doing (the numbers the game shows are not trustworthy for this), just how weak they are to that element vs. how weak they are to raw on that part of their body, and if you're going melee, a bit of luck since melee hits only have a 1 in 3 chance of inflicting element damage, hence why people recommend multi-hitters like SnS and DB for them. Bowguns are guaranteed to inflict the element damage with the appropriate shell though, but obviously limited ammunition comes into play. Same applies to status ailments, BTW.

>>14320903

>if you're going melee, a bit of luck since melee hits only have a 1 in 3 chance of inflicting element damage, hence why people recommend multi-hitters like SnS and DB for them

This is incorrect, elemental damage is applied on every hit. I don't understand why people here keep saying this. The things that have a 1/3 chance are the four statuses - poison, para, sleep, and blast - and certain Switch Axe phials - poison, para, and formerly exhaust. World changed this though, and now exhaust phial triggers on all hits in sword mode.

The reason elemental damage is recommended for fast hitting weapons is because it ignores motion values, so assuming identical sharpness and base element value on a weapon, almost every attack across all blademaster weapons is identical for elemental damage; the only exception I'm aware of is that Great Sword's charged attacks get some bonus elemental damage based on charge level, but it's not enough to offset its extremely slow speed. Several fast, weak hits will do far more elemental damage than a single very strong hit, because those weak hits are individually doing just as much elemental damage as that strong hit. Sometimes slower weapons will have a larger base element value to help offset this, such as Lao's GS having over four times as much Dragon as its DBs in XX, but faster weapons still end up doing much more elemental damage in the same amount of time because of their speed.

>>14320903

>melee hits only have a 1 in 3 chance of inflicting element damage

>hot monkey dick uppercuts you 20ft into the air

Fun.

>>14321589

I think goijin Hunter started this rumour. Most of this thread used to watch his videos till they found out he was a complete shit. so it's possible some stuff people just kind of absorbed without thinking. It most likely just came from the status thing though. Like how plates more likely to drop from captures morphed into captures get you more rewards.

>>14321963

> morphed into captures get you more rewards.

do they not? I'm almost positive I've seen an NPC in world say something along those lines too.

>>14321963

>People believe filthy gaijins before the fucking element visual effects they see on screen

and these are the people that primarily populate these threads. What kind of fresh hell is this.

>>14321975

Captures gave less rewards in almost every single game in the series, but occasionally had categories for rare drops or break-only drops, making the cap rewards more useful in a lot of circumstances

>>14321975

Caps had a higher chance of better rewards, like plates and mantle, not more overall

>>14321934

This post made my day

>>14321952

Now we're talking.

>>14321975

No they don't give you more rewards they instead have higher chance for rarer items.

Capture drop tables are different then kill drop tables, the cap table has more rarer items at a higher drop chance then a kill one so if you were hunting for a plate lets say you would want to capture most of the time how ever some drops may be lower in the cap table, the wikia has drop tables for most monsters.

>>14321963

So what's the actual deal with element and status on melee? I believed goyjin for a long time because despite being a fucking moron, usually when just dealing with hard numbers, he was at least useful. Is it just particle effects that only show up 1/3 of the time or something?

>>14322330

Make her look like a western game character (like mass effect or something) so she's appropriately ugly for them or make it so that you can sell a skin for her.

The thing is they only sold clothes and not a skin.

>>14322611

I think it's a bit closer to Costanza.

>>14322397

Apparently maxing out blast and crit chance is a tad broken at the moment. Enjoy your inflated dps while it lasts.

>>14322667

I knew I was forgetting something on my list

>HH, I like the longer reach and buffs, but I'm not experienced enough to consistently song buff/encore while hitting the monster

>>14322669

Can we go back to the monster hunter that doesn't need balance patches to nerf things into the ground in an exclusively PvE game.

>>14322707

Honestly, I'm fucking floored that capcom didn't add in pvp to really go all in on the esports bullshit. Maybe it would have taken too much time to add in, and basic functions of the game were already too much for "totally spent 4 years working on this game".

>>14322707

Because MH has never had balance issues before?

>>14322732

>Because MH has never had balance issues before?

>>14322730

"Basic functions" like what?

>>14322730

But dos had pvp. :^)

>>14322732

The only thigns I can think of that were significant enough to effect the game were Headlocking with lances in 1, Awakened Kelbi bow w/slime, and maybe CB stealing Hammer's niche

>>14322730

pvp wouldn't work,i think

they could maybe do a thing like l4d2 where you play as a monster

>>14322690

Stick with it for a while. Imagine coming from blademaster to gunner for the first time having to figure shit out.

Something like that and wearing hunter corpses as armor because hunters wear monster parts as armor.

Well we already have some (((journalists))) demanding for health bars so not long now before we start seeing them demand for an easy mode. even though low rank is easy mode.

Better take them with you on your way out. Also, it might be difficult to do it literally on the porch.

I don't think a gamejourno would have something as problematic as a porch.

>>14323334

I dunno man, the way things are going the games could do what some other series have done and full on canonize fan speculation. I've seen nothing but cringe, but one consistently good channel is all it takes to influence back at the makers. Maybe. Someday. If these sonic tier fucks die off.

I'd love to see the devs get convinced to put in an Equal Dragon Weapon. Mash a ton of elder dragon moves into one chimera and have it crawl out of an ancient military bunker. Have the work is done, animation wise.

>>14323502

I thought atoraru ka was supposed to be controlling the remains of it according to lorefags?

>>14323169

Definitely. Also start looking at Skills, which activate based on what armor pieces you're wearing.

>>14323584

Seconding this.

>>14323601

What? The game outright says it's the rubble and pieces of fortresses it attacked.

>>14323613

Can't read nip, and sometimes watch cringy theory videos when I'm bored

>>14323632

Fair enough for you not being able to read, but who the fuck is making videos about the story of games they can't fucking read? Jesus christ people are cancer.

>>14323676

Jaggi is good for the Attack Up boost it gives, while Arzuros is Defense Up. Wroggi is a good set to have to because it can negate Poison, which can make some monsters, like Gigginox, that much less of a nuisance.

Quick question before I go to bed:

do I need to bring anything in particular for the Qurupeco fight? I know it's supposed to summon random monsters, but none of the ones in Misty Peaks have any special status inflicting attacks, so no need for antidote, right?

>>14323908

You'll hate the fucker at first and then he'll become one of your favorites

>>14324057

Well if you want to play now i'm down

>>14321963

ive been watching gaijin hunter since 3U and i have never heard him say this ever. and the capturing rumor is because the handler says you get more, but of course doesnt go into the detail that its not more than carving and just a different loot table.

>>14324457

Dude, I've watched the exact video where he said that, and capturing getting you more items has been a rumor for far longer than world. Stop trying so hard to fit in, newfag.

>>14323676

Killing your archnemesis and making clothes from his skin is absolutely the most satisfying part of Monster Hunter to me

i really wish they didn't go for the whole realism look for monster hunter world. imagine if they kept it slightly cartoony and had bright colors and still had npcs with cool outfits that weren't all just lizard leather. could have looked even better than this, but no.

>>14322953

>the comment section

there is hope left still

>>14324552

maybe we'll get good aesthetics back in subsequent games anon……..

I've been playing since FU, and bought every game since (including P3rd) and have been chewing on the walls to play this game since I don't have a PS4 or XBONE

Is it worth buying one of those plastic bricks? It'll be a PS4 for bloodybone too, I guess.

>>14324699

It's a decent game but there's not much content.

I'd honestly wait until PC if you don't already have a console.

There are a good handful of other games on ps4 but I don't think it's worth buying a console over.

>>14324699

I don't unless there are three games I want to play for a system

It is, in my opinion, the weakest MH entry ever, but it has some cool stuff no other MH has.

>>14324552

Shame normies eat up realism like a bunch of tasteless faggots. That's why it lost any stylization.

Also, fuck that cutscene. I was expecting something nice like this when I beat Generations. Not that absolute garbage. Hell even Tri/3U was better (The one after beating Ceadeus)

>>14324706

>I'd honestly wait until PC if you don't already have a console.

I was going to do this, but I will definitely need a new graphics card and those bitcoin faggots made them impossible to find for even MSRP

>>14324710

>I don't unless there are three games I want to play for a system

Me too, which is why while I've wanted to play Bloodborn for years I still don't have one. But I thought I could wait and I'm kinda losing it at this point.

>the weakest MH entry ever

What, even worse than some of the originals with the superjanky hitboxes? Or how Tri stripped out half the weapons? (I actually didn't mind water combat, though)

>>14324731

I don't know about the worst ever as I'm a lowly 4Ubab but it is pretty lacking in a lot of areas.

>>14324731

What's your price threshold? You mentioned you needed 3 games. Because of the pro coming out the prices for the regular ps4s have been dropping. I saw a few of them go on sales for $150. I have a 10-15 game limit myself and waiting until I can get one for $100 which I think will only take a a few months considering the rate of price drops lately.

>>14324731

Gravity rush/2, KH if you were ver into that, yakuza series, nier automata

>>14322529

the last guy i added from 8chan had 10 thousand hours in a barbie party game

>>14324713

Yeah, I would have prefered another song with the Wyverian singer. Does World even have a song?

>>14324731

Yeah, definitely. I never had a problem with hitboxes (Plesioth hipcheck aside), and I was fine with Tri's weapon list but my weapons all got in.

Those entires are all still more or less undiluted Monster Hunter, and World isn't. Healing while running and being able to dodge out of anything (Healing, sharpening, GS charge, almost anything at all) is the biggest issue for me. Coupled with a small monster list for any MH that's been localized (because no G version) and some other gripes its definitely the weakest entry to me. I have a thousand other complaints but I don't really feel like I have to learn a monster anymore and I almost never feel intimidated by anything. Yeah, that's partially because I got gud, but after 14 years of playing I've never felt this unengaged with MH, and I'm fighting tempered monsters now (seem like the same with a little more aggression and big dick damage, but I've only fought the first tier so far)

That doesn't mean it has nothing to offer. Lance is more fun than it's ever been, some of the new areas are pretty cool and some of the QoL changes really are for the better. But on the whole I really feel like when it's all said and done it's my least favorite by a fair margin. You'd probably oughta wait.

>>14324896

>Does World even have a song?

There is this. Same singer as the song you posted.

>>14325022

New hardware means new assets. On some level I like how you start off with a very basic weapon and as you upgrade it it becomes cooler instead of starting off with a super cool weapon from the get go. My only legitimate gripe is not every weapon has an ultimate final form. I was pretty passed when I finally unlocked the final tier of Pukei's sword and shield and it looked exactly the same.

>>14323601

That was a theory from when XX's trailer showed a glimpse of its "head" and a leg. It's actually a pile of rubble from old fortresses, towns, and whatever else it happens to pick up. If you look at its design you can clearly see that the main body is the hull of an airship, and it also looks like it has a bit of relatively modern construction material in it, like the support beam Atrul Ka swings around at the start of the fight.

>>14323641

>who the fuck is making videos about the story of games they can't fucking read?

Autists. Never underestimate the retarded shit the lorefags of almost any series will pull out of their asses. I've seen some of these idiots claim Gogmazios is an EDW because of the dragonator it has on its back, even though the game explicitly states multiple times that Gogmazios very recently stole the dragonator from Dundorma, including immediately before you fight it. And the game was released in English too, so they must have been able to read it.

>>14324713

Never forget Glavenus's sacrifice. He died trying to save us from idoru shitto.

>>14324974

These all look so horrible. They're all the same weapon, with some random monster parts glued on the back in a way that looks cosmetic and nonfunctional. They could have at least glued the monster bits on the face of the hammer, or the edges of the bladed weapons, so that it'd actually look like the parts matter. I can't believe they cut out all the head on a stick hammers, too. You should add Rathalos's hammer to that list, one of the most iconic hammer designs in the series cut. It didn't even get a generic replacement like those three. He doesn't get a hammer at all anymore.

>>14324337

That outfit honestly makes her look like a tranny the face is somehow even worse then her default outfit, did they outsource tumblr for this?

>>14324974

Is that just a one off case or are all the weapon this lazily made?

Do you think they'll shell out g rank in time for the pc release?

>>14325929

Doubt it, they will most likely save it for the inevitable G version.

>>14325937

There won't be a g version, there will be a season 2 pass

>>14325937

They know that gaijins don't like that kind of practice, so they will sell g-rank as a dlc for sure.

>>14325964

>now the g rank game costs $100+ instead of having the option to skip the trash high rank game

>>14324448

>also wroggi armor looks fantastic what with the hat and poncho

Fuck yes it does.

>I believe it also has razor sharp which is great to have early game.

I think that might've been 3U only, not P3.

>>14324552

Just another sacrifice in selling to people who hate video games also fuck your idols, Dinovaldo died for those sins

>>14324902

>Coupled with a small monster list for any MH that's been localized (because no G version)

Even compared to other non-G versions it's pretty weak.

>>14325414

>I've seen some of these idiots claim Gogmazios is an EDW because of the dragonator it has on its back, even though the game explicitly states multiple times that Gogmazios very recently stole the dragonator from Dundorma, including immediately before you fight it.

Jesus christ, they made a huge deal about it being the first one of those too.

>And the game was released in English too, so they must have been able to read it.

Normally I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and say that with how notoriously bad English localizations are maybe it just didn't carry over… except I've played this English version and for all the other liberties it took it DID get that part right, so yeah, those faggots are just retarded.

>>14325929

G versions can take about a year or so, and this time they're working on that while also working on making the PC version. If G comes out in time for PC, it's going to be the smallest G Rank ever.

>>14326052

I'm pretty sure that's why there were so many of the shills trying to astroturf the idea that a DLC expansion would be somehow better for the consumer than being able to just buy the full game one time and that's it.

>>14326015

What's his opinion on m'ladybug Seltas Queen?

>>14326090

Good job killing a Kirin, but until every single one of those kelbidromes is slain there won't be peace.

>>14326114

Have you gone back to MHFU since? Maybe you just got gud

>>14326121

On the contrary, MHFU was one of the last ones I played.

Really made me miss the uppercut.

>>14326130

Gotta agree, I went back to FU recently and the lack of the uppercut took me some getting used to. One thing that triggers the fuck out of me are retards that think hammer is all about only using LVL3 charges and not using the entire moveset depending on the situation.

>>14326151

I'd give it a try if we had actual NPC parties to buff when playing solo.

The weapon feels like a waste when not playing online so I end up not liking it at all.

I like when I go online and a Healslut        joins the party, though.

>>14319733

Leftists protesting for more free shit from the brazilian government and an angry cop.

>>14326223

>more free shit from the brazilian government

That is paid with tax money.

Brazil already has ridiculous taxes, this recent leftist ideology boom right after the Lula and Dilma shenanigans can fucking destroy our country.

>>14324448

>>14326071

Yeah, no Razor Sharp in P3, instead it gives Constitution (less stamina use when dodging/blocking) and Capture Guru (Paintballed monsters have their icon flash when cappable)

>>14326050

Also, you may want to consider splashing a bit once you get to fight Great Baggi, since his armor pieces synergize well with Great Jaggi's - by using the Jaggi body and waist with the arms, legs, and (Gunner type) head, I've got a set with Attack Up Medium and Recovery Speed +2, with five single Decoration slots open. You can use them all with Attack Up gems to get up to Attack Up Large, though as a DB user you may benefit more from using them to slot in Speed Sharpening, which reduces the number of times you scrape the blade with the whetstone from 4 to 1, greatly decreasing the amount of downtime you'll spend resharpening.

All the talk about Monster Hunter made me grab my 3DS again and start replaying 3U. I can't find a .cia with the DLC and I can't download it because CFW. Is there some way to get the DLC that does not involve updating? Or is there an update to CFW that currently allows me to update my system without issue? I'm completely out of the loop in the subject of 3DS CFW.

>>14326613

Are you on A9LH or B9S? Those should be able to update fine. Might want to ask the 3DS Homebrew thread for more details.

>>14326648

Should be A9LH, but a version I haven't touched in over a year. I'm currently reading the info here https://3ds.hacks.guide/ to get back up to speed. And thanks.

>>14322757

I don't remember if it's in Frontier or what, but there's a psuedo PvP mode in one of the games where two teams are each in an identical arena and they have the same monster to hunt. First kill wins. It was kind of cool honestly, both of the arenas are divided so you can't really fuck with the other team but you can see the other team and their own monster from your arena

>>14326707

It was in dos. You also had flutes to order your monster a bit.

>>14326100

I hope they bring this one back in World, it was a novel concept

>>14326719

damn dude that's cool as shit, hope this comes back too

>>14318112

Every point here made is a downgrade or a negative. fuck man.

About to Kushala Daora

With Hunting Horn

How fucked am I? Niggergigante was too fast for my shot reflexes to properly dance with, I'm guessing this storm bird is going to have me spinning.

>>14326914

Does your horn have [negate wind pressure]?

Does anyone else have this problem with item use/healing? I definitely press the button, but some portion of the time I just don't use the item/drink the potion. This has been the most difficult part of the game for me, just standing there when I thought I pressed the button for a potion. My controller's not broken, it works perfectly in other games.

>>14326946

Does that trivialize it like I'm thinking?

That passed by my mind when I posted

>>14326914

Just repeatedly hit em on the head while playing the notes for your songs dude. I managed to solo nergy in less than 15 minutes with the HH like that. Knockout jewels are also a godsend when using the HH too. Draw attacks are pretty good to start your combos with if you are too pussy to go at em with your weapon already drawn.

>>14326972

>>14326946

Sweet fucking lord. I've never gone through all of my health items before that blowhard. Now I truly see the difference between low and high rank.

>>14327855

I didn't do that, hold on.

>>14328083

Try switch axe. It has reach, and "esp" for sword mode. That means it doesn't bounce from hard parts.

>>14327216

Mixing, as in rather than only using parts from one set, mixing parts between sets.

>I'll make you anons proud yet.

I'm rooting for you.

>>14328133

Oh so that's what it does. So dual daggers have the same same or is it something different? You use your stamina to charge up a bar (and maybe do more damage), which in turn lets you do that same bonus damage without using up stamina? Or is it just the "esp" thing?

>>14326707

>mfw first extra G. Jaggi appeared

The party has only just started.

>>14328083

I miss Peeco, such a neat and cute monster. As for bouncing, just sharpen your weapon and don't hit his stones. You should never bounce against any monster if you are properly prepared and hit the right parts.

Also, have you ever considered running a hammer or great sword?

Those where my favored weapons when I started out, since they let you do decent damage without requiring/encouraging you to stay in the monster's face.

>>14328133

Hunting horn also doesn't bounce and is the fastest movement speed when drawn, aside from lance's dash. You just have to double-play the self-improvement song.

>>14328152

If he's bouncing off the Quropeco green sharpness won't stop that. You bounce off his wings when the flints are broken, unless you have a way higher level weapon.

Right, then I'm making Arzuros Axe, best one I have available to me right now, instead of farming Sharpened fangs.

Also, brb, peepee break. Enjoy the tunes.

>>14328201

>lvl 3 charge for great sword (not sure)

This one actually doesn't get ESP, it just gets treated as if it's one sharpness level higher than the weapon currently is (so if you're green, it counts as blue sharpness for that attack.) I THINK this affects damage as well, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

>>14328152

IIRC qurupeco's flints are hard against slicing, and hammer goes through them with green sharpness.

>>14328252

Press right shoulder button to enter sword mode.

>>14328252

You've got this. Switchaxe looks so good against Peco.

Also, I think you can draw your weapon into sword mode by holding the right shoulder button as you unsheathe it.

>>14328351

I think you need to press both attack buttons.

Also there is a special move in sword mode if you press both attack buttons and smash triangle/x/y/whatever is the upper attack button.

>>14328400

Some weapons work better against some monsters than others, but everything's killable by anything as long as you're good enough.

Man I completely forgot how cool the peco weapons looked like, the hammer is literally a lighter/flint mechanism.

>>14328470

>needing help

>not just solo'ing the Emperor of Flames featuring piss poor looking explosions

I'm still upset his powder explosions look so weak in World from what I've seen.

>>14328499

Fucking Kelbidrome strikes again, only redeeming factor that fucker has is the female armor.

>>14328516

Male Kirin armor looks gay as fuck

>>14328540

At least in 3rd gen and maybe 4th gen (it's been a while since I played it for any serious amount of time) it wasn't like that, I think it was fixed in Generations since you can just hold the button down to gather.

>>14328551

Yeah, generations changed it that you don't need to crouch to carve faster without the skill.

I just started playing hammer and it's a lot of fun. My main strategy is using level 3 charges on the head mashing circle and sliding spin. I'm getting results but I still feel like I am doing it wrong.

>>14328566

When I figured that out playing cross it blew my mind. I thought it was something I missed in the earlier games.

>>14328813

do that +uppercut and it's pro hammer strats

>>14328813

Running lvl 2 charge is really good for closing up (dash with uppercut). Normal 3 hit combo deals a lot of damage and stun, so you should prefer that if you can land all 3 hits. If you are playing world, the new combo is also really strong, but long, so use it on downed/trapped monsters.

Hammer is pretty simple weapon, and remember that you don't have to always hit the head. Like barroth's weak spot is the hands so after getting K.O it is better to hit those instead of continuing smashing his head in.

Stream in embed. Hooktube doesn't seem to be able to properly integrate recent streams, so give it a few hours. Then again, I'm just a random jack off, I'm not getting anything from this other than copyright claims.
