>still playing the semen slurping kusoge that is MHW

>>14742849

I don't think any of us are. I'm personally thinking of booting up FU again, though I'm not sure what weapon to run.

>>14742888

>I'm personally thinking of booting up FU again

Same here, I'll probably focus on Hammer since its one of the 5 weapons i haven't really sat down with.

I'm on the eternal wait for MHW on the pc, hopefully the game will have a filled out roster by then.

Playing FU to fill the time, although I took a break from it for other games, currently working through 7/8* village stuff.

>>14742849

Waiting for a new monster to come out.

Other than that I'm burnt the fuck out.

I forgot, do you have to attack claws or wingblade to break Nargacuga arms

>>14743423

any will work

>>14745710

Yeah, the intro fights for all four of the Heavenly Kings had their HP pretty much doubled.

>>14745710

>>14752177

MHXX had a real problem with HP bloat. It's almost like they couldn't think of a way to make it harder so they just got lazy and buffed HP and damage and called it a day. Fucking Hyper Lagiacrus had almost 20k.

>>14757372

Lagiacrus isn't that bad. Now Hyper Tigrex with it's whopping 21k HP on the other hand, that shit is ridiculous. Hyper Gravios is tame compared to those two.

MH is a series that appeals a lot to me, but I've missed on ALL it's games due to various reasons.

Now it has come to the PS4 and I have both time and money to get into it. I know it's normal for each and every niche clicke to hate what is new, save few exceptions, so while I expect plenty of people to tell me it's shit, all I want to know is

Are you guys playing it still? Even if you tell me it's average, it's the only one I can get into for now.

>>14758157

Skip it. I was a huge proponent of World and even I got bored of it after less than a hundred hours. If you have a computer just play the PSP ones.

>>14758157

Rent it and see how it works out for you personally.

But yeah it has less content in terms of monsters that some of the previous games still not as bad as tri but its the first gen of this generation, that always happens for those. Other than that they changed/added a shit load of things, see for yourself how that works for you.

>>14758157

>M™H™W™

>monster hunter

Pick one.

>>14758157

If you don't own a PS4 why would you? skip it, if you own a PS4 and don't intend on getting the definitive edition, skip it.

Long story short: Wait for the PC version and then decide.

>>14758157

You have a computer right? Play FU and 3rd on PPSSPP its a much better experience

>>14757372

To add to this, anyone saying 'but your weapons and skills are better to compensate' I was using a crit boost lance build and was getting striker charge finishers (~75mv in XX) with yellow guard rage boost (1.3x to damage) off constantly by abusing the invulnerability to lingering hitboxes that lance gets after a successfull counter, and it still took 20 minutes. I could maybe have shaved off 3-5 minutes, due to one or two times I got hit while in a corner and had to play extra cautious to get out safely, if I was using evasion arts in addition to the DPS bullshit I had.

Maybe critdraw GS with a maxed out deviant weapon could do better, but if 15-20 minutes is the baseline with seriously overpowered equipment that's specifically suited to the one monster there's a problem. I'm probably wrong but, I'm pretty sure most of the harder quests in XX (marathon last tier hyper quests and G-rank multiple deviants in single area quests) are impossible in guild/no arts/no eva+ with anything other than GS (or TA strats and dozens of restarts). I'd love to see a guild HH or guild GL clear most regular hypers in under 40 minutes, let alone a properly hard quest.

>>14758157

Please don't actually play world if monster hunter appeals to you for any reason other than the 'online social aspect'. I'm sure a toaster could at least run PSP emulation, but I really have to question why you invested into a bloodborne box when you could've got a better pc, a vita, or a 3DS in addition to a psp for the same price.

>>14758157

>Are you guys playing it still?

Nope. Despite their attempt to prolong it with timed events and the like, barely anyone is playing it anymore.

>it's the only one I can get into for now.

PPSSPP and the games in the OP. You're welcome.

>>14742849

its pretty fun

>>14759043

There's plenty of reason to get a PS4.

>>14760141

As a 100% standalone game, it might be. As a Monster Hunter game, it's sorely lacking.

>>14760150

Not compared to the alternatives that he listed. The Vita especially has almost all of the worthwhile games on the PS4.

>>14758157

I still play it regularly, I like SOS mechanic rather than the traditional lobby system when playing online. I hate waiting for peoples to join your game

>It's what happens when a company kills its own franchise

FTFY

is P3rd good? I know nothing about it, I missed the 3rd gen games

>>14762893

Yeah. No G Rank, but no underwater stuff either. It was my first Monster Hunter and I enjoyed it greatly. If you haven't played FU though, I'd recommend that first. Having played both I'd say FU is the better game, and it's also easier to go forward instead of backward because P3rd adds a couple new moves to weapons and certain QoL changes.

>>14763885

Its in Gen

>>14764007

read that post but this time very carefully

>>14764009

>until XX

I didn't know XX meant Gen

Ty bro

are any of the 3ds games worth getting?

>>14764185

3G/3U and 4U.

>>14764201

so stay away from generations basically.

>>14764207

Avoid Gen for a lot of reasons, but especially because it doesn't have G-rank. Also, the english version of 3G, 3U, has 50 unremovable defense that they added for baka gaijin which trivializes a lot of things especially in the early game, so be aware. 4U doesn't have any fuckery that anyone has been able to prove, however.

>>14764218

Gotcha, looks Like I'm going with 4U then.

anyone still play it online?

>>14764218

>Also, the english version of 3G, 3U, has 50 unremovable defense that they added for baka gaijin which trivializes a lot of things especially in the early game

Same for Generations but since the only version worth playing is XX it doesn't matter.

>>14764185

4U and XX

I actually enjoyed World as my first game. But I'm gonna get Freedom Unite with the way you guys are talking about it. I might have to get a 3DS too.

>>14766361

You should get one for 3u **despite the 50 base defense, the rest of the game is really damn good* and 4u.

XX is debatable.

Also watch out, FU is a kinda clunky and jagged mess, they only get the gameplay smoothed out by 3rd gen.

>>14766430

Gotcha and thanks. 4u seems to interest me the most though, with the way I hear about 3U's water level shit.

>>14766430

>FU is a kinda clunky and jagged mess

FU is more polished and complete than the entire underwater shtick in 3U.

Fucking good news, Worlds with a heap of trash and despite X/Gen being sub par and a step backwards from 4U it sure as fuck is better than worlds

Finally the nintenoggs can calm the fuck down.

>>14768489

probably the ONLY way nintendo can pull this shit off

other than this what else is there besides Mario karts and splatoon 2

>>14768491

Now that the dust has settled can we all admit that Worlds was fucking awful

>>14768498

>what else is there besides Mario karts and splatoon 2

nothing else

>>14768506

Should people play World instead?

Because if the best advice is to keep with the older games only, then the whole community of monun players can an hero for not being served a single good game in over a decade

>>14768451

>Worst non-World MonHun

>More than a year after the release on the platform in question, and about a year and a half after the original release period

>Only the non-portable version at that

If I didn't know better, I'd say they're trying to make a bomb so that they can justify more World shit by using this as an excuse to say "Well people don't want real Monster Hunter anymore better just keep making World sequels"

>>14768517

>the whole community of monun players can an hero for not being served a single good game in over a decade

That's true of plenty of franchises though - Castlevania comes to mind, for instance, and it's been almost a decade since MegaTen last got a good game as well.

>>14768534

>>14768553

Then why are we still here? just to suffer?

>>14768553

No one gives a fuck about the 3ds anymore you dense nigger. This shit is going to sell like at least 3-4 million copies at least. All the normalfags switch owners see World but with even crazier monsters. They have no idea about all of the built up baggage old Style monhun has built up over the years. If anything this will be fun to watch.

>>14766361

Anon is about to discover how gay FU is compared to anything past 4th gen.

>>14768517

Damn bitch. You think MonHun hasn't had a decent game in 10 yeares? Not even 3u and 4u? Why are you even here? No really. What the fuck…

>>14768654

You fucking NIGGER the thing is I thought those came out sooner, woops

>>14768678

Even X/XX and world are decent games. I hope world g makes the monster content at past 60/70 monsters because God Damn it's thin.

>>14768607

PC isn't going to magically make World a good game.

>>14768622

If by "gay" you mean "fun"

>>14768650

While those would be improvements, the core of World is so fundamentally broken that it's still a shittier option than just emulating one of the real MonHuns.

>>14768709

>I hope world g makes the monster content at past 60/70 monsters

Hoping is fine if you don't mind being disappointed, considering you're talking about more than doubling the content.

>>14768802

You really under estimate smoke normalfags. I mean Arrekz and company play monhun just fine.

I'll have to start Generations again. Suppose I better do it now before Capcom kills online in favor of the Switch version.

>>14768498

>other than this what else is there besides Mario karts and splatoon 2

That's just like the 3ds, I know some people who didnt bother un-banning themselves from online because there was nothing to play online

>>14768863

>normalfags

>sperging about having to spend more

Do you ever hear about normalfags crying over definitive editions, or dlc at all?

they literally aren't going to care

>>14768844

Finally I can go back to playing hunting horn and not ever hit the monster

>>14768890

>world G

Yes how amazing this will be having the ability to have every single armor bonus with absolutely no down side or thought put into it because skills are so easy to get many of

Why the fuck did they even bother making set bonuses

One of these days mother fuckers. I will hit the Deviljho on the head with the hunting horn and I will fucking kill it. I swear.

>>14768844

XX unironically just adds more problems with adept style. YOU THOUGHT IT WAS BAD BEFORE YOU AIN'T SEEN SHIT SON

>>14768805

>>14768802

Also take into consideration how popular the switch is with the average normalfags and we could be looking at a solid 30% attach rate at least. The switch doesn't really have a big coop game yet. This is going to sell like crazy if crapcum can capitalize on their new fanbase wanting Monster Hunter on the go.

>>14769259

>switch is popular with average normalfag

Switch has no normalfag games like CoD, Fifa or Battlefield

>>14769339

The switch has already outsold the Wii U. It's got the handheld and nornalfag audience. Normalfags are about to be properly introduced to SMT and Fire Emblem for the first time too. You have no idea what kind of ride awaits us. Neither do I. The switch is shaping up to be the next Wii in terms of lifetime sales. Maybe not 200 million sold strong, but it's going to be pretty high. The switch is extremely popular right now, combine that with the fact that they grabbed the handheld audience along with the normalfag audience and you have a recipe for S O M E T H I N G happening. Maybe nothing good, but something. Normalfags might just surprise us with the switch. It's happened before with Dark Souls

>>14769434

Is GU really that bad?

>>14768802

I honestly might get this just to play as a prowler again since I liked the playstyle a lot. I just hope it is easier to get the right abilities for the prowler this time and not have to grind for hours.

>>14769525

on the plus side, you get to just port your Generations data to it, so you'll at least get to take your previous stuff with you and work off of it there.

>>14769473

It's not but it's also not going to get the exposure it deserves because Capcom is retarded. They could dump a ton of money advertising this game during R E A L T O O N A M I H O U R S and get beaucoup sales. But they won't. Because Capcom is retarded. I expect 3 million tops considering the popularity of switch and the thin content of world propelling the new game's sales more than any effort on capcom's part. They would rather pay arrekz 100 shekels a video I guess.

>>14769548

World's G Rank better be fucking phenomenal. I mean the best G rank in the whole series.

>>14768802

World made its money and giving Capcom more money is retarded. They won't go back now that they see how much cash casual shit gets them.

>>14769609

World was a decent attempt at making a console style monster hunter built for longer playsessions. I had fun with it and I hope they try again. It could be truly special if they inject proper difficulty into the game and fill it to the brim with new monsters and locations. Removing SOS flares and making the gathering hall relevant again would be nice too. SOS flares are cancer. You can be in a room for nergigante and no one is questing together or even doing nergigante. It's stupid. The game feels like a dead dungeon/duty finder MMO where no one talks.

>>14769676

Just because you no longer send a solid third if your total playtime mashing the gathering button and watching loading screens doesn't make world a bad game. I get the impression you're just ass hurt you don't have a ps4. World was a decent first try at making a game for longer sessions. You can stay at camp and keep doing missions. You can track materials through the wish list, every single monster is used to its fullest potential as far as crafting is concerned. The only places they truly fucked up was the gathering hub and some of the stupid camp shit like being able to restock during quests.

>>14769922

Y-you too..

>>14769141

i dont get any of these

>>14769525

>not have to grind for hours.

I spent 2 days rerolling skills for a healing palico

2 1/2 days for a gather/plunder prowler

3 for a beast and its still wont give me the last optional skill i want

and the only item to chose specific skills to reroll is in g-rank

>World's G Rank better be fucking phenomenal. I mean the best G rank in the whole series.

>World was a decent attempt at making a console style monster hunter built for longer playsessions

As well as the aforementioned fact that he always baits out the exact same argument in every single thread to trap you into discussing pointless stuff like the tracking bugs, gathering and monster hallway ai since they're the easiest targets to try and refute.

Why are you replying to him talking about getting baited? You aren't the shill, just a regular world-tard. As evidenced by the fact that you actually responded to the main point of my post instead of making some greentext shitpost about paintballs or something else.

>Its a good spinoff MH game

So was stories and the airu games and (potentially) x/xx, the point is they all subvert what made monster hunter unique mechanically and replace it for a monster hunter skinned game pushing itself on the franchise name. Additionally, dragon's dogma already had monster hunter elements, making it slightly more monster-hunter like doesn't resolve the base issue, nor does it resolve the fact that it's based on dragon's dogma online far more heavily than it is on the original Itsuno game. Finally, there is no way you are saying combat is more fleshed out than it's ever been before. I might have only played the game a few hours between demos and a friend (?) with the game but I can only see that the combat is what suffered the most. At least the core combat has regressed, it's like how street fighter is about footsies more than it is about long ass combos, and combos ended up developing from the core game. If you go and take the footsies out and replace it just with sick ass cool combos that need lots of complex inputs, then you've basically just got competetive OSU and not a fucking fighter.

>>14770158

If you follow the thread you'll see it's just one guy spewing shill shit and it's largely irrelvant to your first post. Even the world fanboy here:

>>14770129

Said to at least give 3U/4U a try first.

>>14770190

Once you learn 'how to fight them you shouldn't have any major shocks until hypers or deviants, which aren't always very good fights anyway. HR and G rank versions are like logical increments to difficulty, giving the monsters new options and easier access to their more dangerous attacks, but not totally restructuring the fights. Get good at fighting them in LR and you'll be able to pick up how to fight them in higher ranks too. Don't be afraid to use offensive arts or gimmick arts if you feel it would be fun, frankly most of them are a hindrance to you rather than a help, as long as you don't use any of the evasion arts or most of the buff arts the game will play out normally enough.

tbh every post is irrelevant to that one since my first post was defending having a PS4 because of Yakuza.

>>14769991

You can stop the monsters mid zone transition like any other monster hunter. You dense nigger. Just hit it. Use a flash bomb. Make it flinch with slinger ammo. You're so full of shit.

>>14769737

>Just because you no longer send a solid third if your total playtime mashing the gathering button

That just sounds like you never got out of Low Rank then.

>and watching loading screens

Now I know you haven't played these games, because you spend way more fucking time on loading screens in World than you ever did in Monster Hunter.

>The only places they truly fucked up was the gathering hub and some of the stupid camp shit like being able to restock during quests.

And the monsters, and the armor system, and the retarded tracking shit, and the overly bloated maps, and the overall design philosophy of not requiring the players to learn anything.

>>14770129

>Its a good spinoff MH game, no one in this thread can deny that.

I mean, if you're comparing it to Stories, sure? It's just shit compared to every mainline Monster Hunter game I've played, so I want them to keep it as a one-off like Stories instead of replacing the Monster Hunter games.

The face of a good goy

>>14770653

No it doesn't. It will stay and fight. Why are you lying?

Is MH4U really better than XX?

Or do you think so because 4U was more beginner friendly and so was your first, or one of the first, monhun you've played, thus multiplying the nostalgia factor?

>>14770847

If it's blinded, it stays for the duration of the blind and a couple attacks afterward. If stopped in some other way, it will do a couple attacks. Either way, it will resume retreating very soon, and certainly won't stay for the five minutes or so it tends to stay in battle-designated areas. You would know this if you actually played World.

>>14770885

MH4U still keeps most of the fundamentals of MH intact despite mounting adding another wrinkle, X/XX is rife with abilities that no one in Monster Hunter has ever had, that make planning and positioning irrelevant because you can hold some buttons and be lolinvulnerable. Brave and Adept make most of the game a joke.

>>14770900

>>14770906

>Adept

Shit tier damage wise even with bow and db after it got nerfed

>Brave

Brave ls is broken and brave gl has guard points but it's shit because gl

If people focus on staying alive then hyper and g rank in xx might feel like a slog to them because they're using shit like brave and adept.

G4 can last less than 5mins if you're good enough to speedrun mh games which I hope you lot that were playing since mh1 are at least able to.

Using brave counter is stupid against grank deviants, hypers, and supers. It will shave more than half of your health.

The only defensive shit you need is absolute readiness not adept like a shitter. And most of the time you'll be using it to gap close instead of evasion.

Best styles for dps are guild for ig, gs and hammer

Brave for ls hbg bow and gs for certain mons

Adept for gl and lbg

Striker for sns db cb sa lance

No one gives a shit about hh

>>14770885

As someone playing through XX right now, yea 4u is better but i like the flashy shit in XX

>>14770188

Holy shit I thought you were joking.

I won't be playing it though, gen/xx are terrible MH games for me because personally the hunting styles ruined it for me.

There are too much copy/paste missions and bloating of monster hp too.

The game just feels like a souless cheap cobbled together mess in general, thats probably why it was the MH that I least enjoyed out of all of them.

Anyone know where I can get a preowned switch or a switch with a very old version still on it so I can get homebrew/cfw on it?

>>14771753

>>14772027

If it's g4 hypers then 15 mins is decent.

Depending on how much you want to get good or enjoy a monster fight, one room is pretty easy for g4 normals.

Teostra valfalk glavenus astalos tigrex diablos rajang are normal g4s I can consistently one room. Hypers are hp bloat that no one will fault you for not killing under 5mins unless you are a speedrunning. Abusing Hunter arts by hitting the sweet spot of hypers is a given to make the fight easier.

There are people that can even 6min 22k+ hp super bloodlust diablos solo

>>14772181

Feels like everyone that posts online about MH is better player than me

>>14772153

>XX

>worth anything

>>14772181

Frankly I'm not bad at monster hunter, never great since I don't really enjoy grinding more than the bare minimum to be able to clear quests and make decent sets for every weapon + a few gimmicky sets, but I struggle to clear most of those monsters in under 8~10 minutes, well astalos and tigrex in 5ish but definitely not teo. Especially hungry deviljho, that takes me 15+ every time. On average, I'd estimate 10khp monsters in ~5, 15k in 5~15 and 20k in 15~25 minutes. Out of curiousity though, what kind of sets are you using? I always end up making my own sets based on stuff that's comparatively painless to collect, and specifically painless to collect entirely by myself since online play is only fun for using gimmicky sets and not for spending hours ganking deviants. Adding to this, what kind of ranks do you get solo in arena, do you get s-ranks easily or do you tend to get a-ranks on your first try? Since I'm only an average player I usually get a-ranks with one or two s-ranks and getting more than a couple s-ranks usually means planning a very specific strategy and getting lucky.

I'm curious because the times you're quoting may be more an element of equipment rather than method. There's a pretty big gap between min-maxed equip player's times and players with only decent equipment, and I'd like to try and take a guess at isolating how much of the effect is method is how much is about equipment meta.

>>14772840

>Wake me up when World G comes around

Why is that only world posters get upset when anyone tries to talk about other games in the series?

>>14770129 aside, he's a pretty cool faggot.

>>14772955

>Why is that only world posters get upset when anyone tries to talk about other games in the series?

Because they're not fans of Monster Hunter, they're fans of World - that's the only game they care about.

Honestly I think there are some things World does right that I'd like to bring to MonHunV on Switch as it's own game. I always wanted the one continuous hunting ground but with the layouts of the older areas connected with "paths". For example all the areas in Forest and Hills are now connected as one big area with new areas filling in the gaps of the old ones. Also the thing about moving while eating/healing I thought would be time. You can drink faster standing stillor slower while moving. If you get hit while drinking you lose your potion dose. Exception is pills like max/ancient potion. Eating you just have to eat while standing still unless it's a ration or juice.

Camoflauge and hiding your scent will be a thing. You can hide in a dung pile if you don't want to get eaten (and if you don't mind the stench). And setting up camo points can be fun for ambushes. Also thought about dismantling misplaced traps instead of waiting for them to expire. However without trapmaster dismantled traps are destroyed. Swimming will return and you can wall climb and vault off underwater and flip monsters too like on land.

Gameplay is mostly 60fps Moster Hunter with better hit boxes and smoother animation. Yes the graphics will not be photo realism. It will be oil painting realism instead. Slightly more anime but not too much. Like those paintings you see in textbooks of concepts of dinosaurs.

The rest of the game is a better online lobby system, expansion packs instead of buying a new version of the game, good unique monsters, and maybe a different take on your typical Monster Hunter story where you are the guildmaster of a rebuilding village who lost everything in a disaster complete with feels.

>>14771753

All Switches have the nVidia hardware bug at this time. Unless Nintendo does a hardware revision you can pretty much exploit the system almost any time new or used. I'm interested in getting a second Switch to turn into a homebrew SDK.

>>14773116

>expansion packs instead of buying a new version of the game

Fuck that. Having both as an option is fine, but making everyone pay the idiot tax even if they're smart enough to know better only hurts the end user.

>>14773202

Only expansion charged is G/Ultimate. Expansion updates that add mew maps, gear, and monsters for free will be downloaded to SD Card/Internal Memory without charge. They are called expansions because they use assets and code not installed in vanilla game. That said providing G/Ultimate as an expansion for the vanilla game you download for up to $5 with coin discounts instead of forcing customers to pay $60 for a FULL FUCKING GAME AGAIN is a better value proposition.

>>14773241

>They are called expansions because they use assets and code not installed in vanilla game.

We're at the point where people are so used to being fucked with on-disc DLC (not that anything ever is on the disc these days, you have to download all or half the game anyway) that they consider any actual DLC to be an expansion. You really make me depressed.

>>14773336

I thought it was the other way around. You got expansions to add levels and bosses to tge game. Downloadable content was suppose to be things like skins and swapped variables. But free DLC or not half the game will need to be downloaded anyway because full retail console games are shareware because muh piracy.

Still, I want to become the guildmaster of the village. Even if it winds up being a mistake on the Hunter's Guild spilling ink on your papers in the end. There's alot of quality of life online and offline conveniences and fun we can have with making quests and anteing up bounties for village.

>>14773336

>that they consider any actual DLC to be an expansion. You really make me depressed.

But G rank are expansions, since its usually include new monster and maps.

>>14773241

>That said providing G/Ultimate as an expansion for the vanilla game you download for up to $5 with coin discounts

What the fuck are "coin discounts?"

>instead of forcing customers to pay $60 for a FULL FUCKING GAME AGAIN

>again

And there's the crux of my point - only an idiot buys the non-G version to begin with. You're proposing punishing people who know better just because that way the idiots won't have to suffer alone.

>>14773202

>but making everyone pay the idiot tax even if they're smart enough to know better only hurts the end user.

I don't get this logic, I know you want to "save" money but G rank usually release a year later. So you're willing to wait a year just to saved a couples of buck? Now try asking yourself is $5-$10 bucks is really worth the wait? That's less than an hour salary.

>>14773454

>only an idiot buys the non-G version to begin with

You keep calling peoples that buy the non-G version idiot but you if you think the price of an expansion really worth a year of your time then you're a fucking idiot too.

>You're proposing punishing people who know better just because that way the idiots won't have to suffer alone.

No, its only punishing you since the players that bought the game when it was release wouldn't feel the same burden as you. They only need to pay for G rank while you have to pay for the base game+G rank to get the full experience.

>>14773538

If you really think having to rebuy a fullprice game just for what amounts to a few textures, and adjusted stats you're part of the reason why capcom is so greedy. Not to mention it gladdens my heart to see them to have broken the "free DLC" thing from day -2

>>14773454

Something Nintendo is doing now with Switch and My Nintendo. If you buy from Nintendo eShop you get gold coins added to your account. Now you can redeem those coins into credits when you make digital purchases up to a certain percentage on Switch eShop.

And in Japan people have bought Monster Hunter before G versions and were forced to pay full price AND replay their games all over again half the time. People are shitting on Capcom for not having Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate on 3DS because Switch is getting paid online by September. It feels like a burn now.

And in my proposition I will include bonuses for early adopters. Which you can earn in game with physical retail of ultimate but will get automatically when you upgrade from V to V-Ultimate. Capcom has already done a good job of punished early adopters of non-G games by forcing them to pay full retail price for an expansion without save data transfer.

>>14773572

World WILL have G rank locked behind either $20+ DLC on all systems and PC or an entirely new PS4/Xbone game for $60-80 and PC version is only G version. Watch Crapjew pull this shit.

>>14773572

That's not what I think at all

>>14773629

>World WILL have G rank locked behind either $20+ DLC on all systems and PC or an entirely new PS4/Xbone game for $60-80 and PC version is only G version. Watch Crapjew pull this shit.

That's how expansion works, yes. I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

>people seriously replying to someone claiming World is a spinoff

I see this retarded shit about World being treated like a spinoff far too often here. So Gen/XX is shit because, despite being a spinoff, it must be held to the same standards as a mainline game? Meanwhile World, a mainline game, Monster Hunter 5, gets a free pass because it can be held to the standards of spinoffs and be compared to shit like Stories or Diary?

>>14773673

G-versions of games pretty much use the same generation if not improved engines and monsters. Unlike PS2/PSP/3DS where there's really no hard drive (aside from FFXI) and disc prints were mandatory; with Switch/PS4/Xbone/PC you don't need to reprint a new disc for a G-rank version of the game. So G-version can be as simple as a DLC upgrade. Lots of Switch games do this. My proposal is to offer the upgrade for the G version to your current version of the game. I AM NOT CAPCOM.

Guess best lesson learned from this is do not buy non-Ultimate Monster Hunter games.

>>14769676

>Prowler is dead weight.

But they are fun and can do ok if you give them that one ability that reduces carts for them but gives a huge damage/defense boost.

>>14774011

Being marginally better at dealing damage than Hunting Horn with a minmaxed cat isn't much of an accomplishment.

>>14769676

>XX emulates perfectly fine on citra since it's practically based on the PSP framework rather than the 3DS framework

I've never heard of this. Do you have any evidence?

>Generations data is identical to X data, so you can just JKSV import it to cross

Are you sure? I had to use a specialized tool to convert MHGen data to MHX, "MHX Data Manager" iirc.

>>14773572

People who defend Capcom releasing 2/3 of a game so that they can charge full price for the rest a year later are probably the same sort of people who defend the Pokemon rehashes Nintendo does, or bullshit like Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Mix HD Remaster Limited Re:Collection ~0.2~ Special Edition & Knuckles.

>>14773538

>I don't get this logic, I know you want to "save" money but G rank usually release a year later. So you're willing to wait a year just to saved a couples of buck? Now try asking yourself is $5-$10 bucks is really worth the wait? That's less than an hour salary.

You make it sound like Monster Hunter is literally the only thing in the world. I'm a fan of the series, but it's not the only thing I'm a fan of by any means. Goodness knows I'm sitting on a backlog I'm never going to finish in my lifetime as is.

>No, its only punishing you since the players that bought the game when it was release wouldn't feel the same burden as you.

What burden?

>They only need to pay for G rank while you have to pay for the base game+G rank to get the full experience.

So they got the base game for free then? How does that logic work?

>>14773629

>Something Nintendo is doing now with Switch and My Nintendo. If you buy from Nintendo eShop you get gold coins added to your account. Now you can redeem those coins into credits when you make digital purchases up to a certain percentage on Switch eShop.

Ah. I generally only buy physical, so I'm not familiar with digital shit, and don't own a Switch to begin with, so fair enough.

>And in Japan people have bought Monster Hunter before G versions and were forced to pay full price AND replay their games all over again half the time.

And again, the smart consumers just wait for the G version. The replaying thing only applies to instances where they jump platforms though, like with Tri to 3G, with Portable 2nd to Portable 2G and 4 to 4G and X to XX you can simply transfer your data over.

>without save data transfer.

Except it almost always DOES have save data transfer.

>>14773677

Pretty much this. It's ridiculous damage control, and they only get away with it because despite being a mainline game and XX being a spinoff, XX is still more similar to a Monster Hunter game than World.

>>14772955

I use standard weakness exploit crit boost sets for end game. Notable ones with non standard skill Combi are shredclaw ls with challenger2 WE crit boost ce3 and Diablo cb with sharp2 art novice WE challenger2 crit boost.

The first one has long white which means you don't need razor sharp or abs readiness instead you can opt for the counter ha. Second one just abuses purple and the fact that Diablo cb has 50 more raw than most cb and purple with sharp 2.

If we're talking about old games then s rank is pretty easy after a few a rank. New arena in 4g and xx are designed for 2 players so some are a bitch to s rank solo when the best sets I'm given are Gunner sets. Even then you basically have to play perfect since you're not using min max set which takes quite a while with monster ai.

So, what are your hopes for the next Monster Hunter title? I kind of want to see them try and bring back seasonal changes from Dos, with more of a focus on changes in the maps. Maybe even have some monsters change their battle AI in different seasons, like making them more offensive in summer and defensive in winter or something like that.

>>14783872

Hand held console

no open world shit from worlds

No barroth

Basically 4U except better and less gen/world but I liked the 4flagships of gen so they can return

>>14783872

Bring back underwater combat, rebalance the weapons a bit both on land and underwater so there's less of a gap between them. Change underwater's controls to fit on a real controller, having dual analog sticks would fix its main problem. Expand underwater heavily, maybe have some hunts where the basecamp is a boat or a very small island, far out at sea, and the whole map other than that is underwater. Have some sunken ships, underwater ruins, caverns, coral reefs, kelp forests; there are tonnes of environments you could have underwater, and a tonne of cool underwater-exclusive monsters you could have. Also, cold water areas. I want to fight a Zamtrios subspecies specialized for underwater combat.

Bring back something inspired by XX's styles, but, heavily toned down to fit a mainline game. For example, focus more on moveset changes, for example with SnS one style could have 4U's backhop>charged jump attack, and could possibly have slightly slower attacks or slightly shorter combos with higher MVs, as a "Power Style" to fit with that. Then another inspired by World's aerial bash attack after the backhop, and could focus more on shield bashes than on sword attacks, maybe with a slightly stronger guard to go with it, as a "Shield Style". And, of course, a more traditional one that keeps the weapon more or less like its always been. You wouldn't even need to keep the style names and themes consistent between weapons like Gen did, SA could get an "Axe Style" for example. The styles should mostly be minor changes, maybe two or three different attacks and a few slight speed and MV tweaks to balance around the minor changes, nothing crazy like Brave or Bushido. Speaking of SnS, bring back Oils, they were great and fit the weapon perfectly.

>>14783872

Split the series into two; Keep World's gameplay/mechanics in one branch and then make a true Monster Hunter 5 with everything established in MH4U polished and fixed underwater combat.

Casuals get more of world, OG MH fans get more of the true experience and capcom gets double the profits. Everyone wins.

>>14784211

Casuals don't get more of anything. They only play flavor of the month titles and MHW is already dead and out of date for them. They only play new release, highly shilled, meme games.

>>14783872

Use the engine tech of World but to rebuild older hunting grounds into one area but still have "arenas" but linked with paths for potato PCs and mobile like Nintendo Switch so areas still feel linked while keeping the arena rules. Also could lead to new areas being discovered. Example is Forest and Hills now having places between areas to explore and gather materials or hide from Rath. Also using tech is more interactive environments like running into a huge dung pile as a hiding spot but you come out with stench. No grappling hook but swingable and cuttable vines.

New areas will be made with this template.I like to see more Primordial American landscapes like Great Plains, Redwood Forest, or California Tarpits. Hell it'd be fun to throw in Australia's Coral Reef and Outback as hunting grounds.

Also aside from mining and bug hunting botany now has distinct shapes in the wild that you collect different plants via bushels in multiple places instead of gathering multiple plants in one place. This way you can grab what plants you need for emergency medicine or ammo rather than rely on RNG in one spot when you run out (RNG still dictates when and where they spawn). Whatever plants you're full of you leave planted on ground.

An art style change to get close to 60fps that still has detailed environments and characters but looks like oil concept paintings you see in text books. Characters also have more expressive faces and aren't potato.

>>14784182

Mounting and free climbing can still work underwater. Monsters in Tri/3U can flip underwater. So animations could be similar. Mounting is just a mini game of shank and grab. You'll be face-humping Ghobul and swinging on his lamp underwater as you would land. Also because you are underwater you can climb onto any non-slippery or sandy surface and kick off of the wall. With the momentum it's the equivalent of a jump attack. Wall-dodging can also give you an advantage at lateral speed as well. The key to making this work is good level design.

>>14783872

I like both OG MH and World so Im fine with this >>14784211 with the exception of the underwater combat

But they need to keep the OG MH experince on handhelds because its more faster paced and would benefit heavily for appealing with the portable playing audience worldwide.

And like how anon said, Everyone wins.

>>14784182

I would love for underwater combat to be good I loved the atmosphere of underwater areas and the concept of fighting giant underwater monsters.

>>14783872

I'd like dynamic weather. Like the static stuff is fine but its been years and multiple gens of 'cold area, time for lagombi gear or hot drinks!' and its getting stale.

Think back to giggy miggy going into buttmad mode and changing the lightning and skybox. Now imagine kushala daora actually caused a hurricane or teostra set a wood on fire and made it need cold drinks.

Or shit just stuff like vision obscuring sandstorms where tracking is important.

Thinking about it i wonder if in MHXX they will try and improve the Nakarkos fight at all. What a fucking cool monster ruined by a shitty fight.

Remember the 'farm runs' of just four aerial GS users slamming a sword down on the same spot for 20 minutes taking no damage? what a shitshow.

World is still highly active. There are entire psn communities packs to the gills with sessions. You actually have no idea what you are talking about.

>>14786355

packs to the gills, eh

truly this is a Monster Hunter World that we should all buy all the DLC and be a part of!

There's such great content like… pathetically easy monsters and an incredibly small roster!

>>14786355

Does it just not let anyone connect to each other then? Because even at peak times during the limited time Elder Dragon event the servers were pretty empty.

>>14786399

It does the same thing every monster hunter has done. You can only see 5 pages of 4 rooms a piece. There is the same amount of rooms shown at once as the old MonHun games. It's stupid but that is how it goes. You only get 20 rooms per search. In order to get a broader idea of the game's health you need to look at the communities on psn. The biggest ones show 100+ sessions at peak which means the actual number is higher.

>casuals so shit that they can't even get good at mhxx

People that can't get good enough to speedrun mh after playing it for a decade should off themselves.

Relying on clutches like adept when it is not optimal for damage is not the same as using rocksteady because it's optimal dps wise.

Fags that gimp themselves for challenge then claim something is hard or a slog should hang.

>>14786551

>Like embed related?

The absolute state of MHW apologists

Ugh, the slog through single player on a new character beecause I had to format SD card. And the dread thinking I'll have to solo all multiplayer low rank key quests to hit high rank in Generations because I didn't have time to play online when it was new.

>>14790991

Why not just play XX? It's got the same content plus more, and a more active online.

>>14791005

Because I don't have a spare 3DS to CFW. I migrated my ambassador program and legal stuff to a "New" 3DS while keeping the older one to CFW when that version comes out. Turns out that 3DS has a broken A button that'll cost me more money than I have right now to fix it. Plus if I sent it in Nintendo will update it anyway.

Yes I know. I should reformat my current 3DS and install CFW, no excuses. I'm a natural klutz and I don't want to accidentally brick a system I don't have a spare too.

>>14791074

>all those excuses

>>14791958

>the cfw guide was literally made retard proof with multiple checks to make sure everything is being done right

>retard proof

I remember when I used it, it didn't mention a somewhat minor old-2DS specific thing regarding the wifi, but then I found out that removing the battery for a few seconds would turn the wifi back on and fix it. This was a long time ago though, way back when it still recommended using a9lh, so that's probably been fixed by now. Anyway, someone retarded probably wouldn't have been able to figure out that simple fix. Don't underestimate how stupid some people can be. Look at phone rooting or ROM installing guides, for example. No matter how clearly or how many times a guide says something like "Do NOT store your backups on the SD card or device being formatted!", there's always at least one retard who ignores the warnings and does it anyway, then whines they bricked their phone and lost their backups. Terms like "retard proof" or "idiot proof" trigger me because it's impossible. They will ALWAYS find some way to fuck something up. Always. It's practically a law of the universe.

>>14792037

I hope you're going to wait to pirate GU, or just import XX. Please don't actually pay for 8-4's garbage localization. Generations localization was an abomination, and GU's already looking like it's going to be more of the same.

>>14794165

The worst thing about it is that theres only around 33 monsters in the game, and less monsters means less content and overall playtime.

There is some casualization and pointless changes but other than that the game is fun.

>>14794165

Silly anon.

Any new MH game is the worst in the series.

The game second to last is the best ever

And the last game is "good but doesn't compare to second to last"

Move titles along these positions with each generation.

>>14794165

>I mean here I am happy to have a MH title released for PC,

You are excited for a game you haven't played just because its coming to PC?

Are you retarded?

>>14794235

When 4U came about it was pretty much agreed to be the best and Portable 3rd was unarguably superior to Tri. Nobody is calling MHXX the best in the series just because MHW came out.

>>14794165

>PC

Download PPSSPP and the ISOs in the OP post. That's two of the best Monster Hunters, right there, playable on your PC.

>>14794165

>>14794251

this new wave of steam cucks are pretty pathetic… theyre so convinced that just gaming on a PC automatically makes them a "mustard race" but they dont even play the good games PCs have a ton of exclusive access to, they just wait and beg for the next AAA shit log to fall from console faggots assholes, then play it on steam with denuvo.

But he could probably play 3u if it works on cemu though.

>>14794251

Chill man, acording to my reasoning there MHXX would be "last" and so "good but not quite best". Second to last would be 4U

>this new wave of steam cucks are pretty pathetic

>mustard race

1. Low quality bait

2. AAA games are notoriously under optimized for PC.

Buying them is like flipping a coin on whether they'll go above 60 fps

3. You will never have mods, play a total war game, or a true 4x game if you are on console.

That's why I find sinking +300$ into parts for my computer is more beneficial than spending that money on a GAM3R toaster.

>>14794265

Nope, here's what I meant

>Current (shit): MHW

>Last (kinda good, but not quite): MHXX (this is probably what's confusing people, I'm clumping together Generations, X, XX and theter GU)

>Second to last (best ever): MH4 and it's variations

One day we'll have anons saying XX was the best ever, and that MHW didn't compare, but was still fun, and that MH6 is/will be utter garbage

>>14794235

I don't think anyone here actually considers XX or Gen to be the best monhun, most people here don't even seem to consider it good. At best, people's opinions on XX and Gen here tend to be "at least it's not World" or "It's fun for a spinoff, but it's not a real MH game". And there are even some people who think it's worse than World. From what I've seen, most people here tend to say either 4U or FU are the best, some say 3U, and I've seen a lot of people saying P3rd would be the best if it had gotten a G version.

>>14794251

>When 4U came about it was pretty much agreed to be the best

This was way back pre-exodus 4/vg/ but I remember a lot of people hated mounting and the verticality, and hated the new weapons, but people were generally happy it didn't have underwater combat. I can't remember how well received the rest of the game was, but I remember a lot of people still preferred FU over it.

>>14794499

I haven't seen the opinion on Gen and XX change much here. If anything, the opinion of them has gotten a bit worse as time went on, because I've seen the recommendations for new players shift from "Play FU, 3U, or 4U first, then play Gen" to "Play FU, 3U, and 4U instead, just skip Gen and XX". People thought it was shit at release and they still think it's shit now.

Which of the linked PSP versions is the most complete experience for someone who never really got into the series due to lack of hardware?

After a quick search I found some claims about that 3rd HD English patch missing English flavor text and tutorials.

>>14794641

>most complete

Freedom Unite. MH games are broken up into three difficulty tiers, Low Rank, High Rank, and G rank; G rank is the hardest, and is only in the re-releases of a game. Freedom Unite is a re-release of Freedom 2, so it has G rank, but because Portable 3rd never got a re-release, it doesn't have G rank.

>After a quick search I found some claims about that 3rd HD English patch missing English flavor text and tutorials.

Most of the minor NPCs in the town don't have translated dialogue. From what I've seen, all of the storyline, all of the items and skills, all of the quest-giver and vendor NPCs text, and all of the other NPCs you actually need to talk to have all of their dialogue translated.

>>14794499

Are you perhaps a kraut? "Last" would refer to the latest game, not the one before that. What you're looking for is "previous". Also

>people will believe XX is the best MH game once a new game comes out

doubt.jpg

The reliance on styles is too far a departure from standard gameplay for most posters here to consider that.

On a different note, I have some questions about kiranico's monster pages:

What do the colored icons next to the stagger limits for body parts mean?

What is the difference between the jump and mount status?

When hitzones of body parts are listed multiple times, which hitzone is used in what case? Taking something like http://kiranico.com/en/mh4u/monster/gore-magala , there are two tables, in the left table, several body parts repeat, in the right table, only some body parts appear, all of which appear in the right table. Does this list the hitzones for the chaos magala as well or something?

Also how is that insulting? I am saying you can't git gud if you don't have genetics to do it, if everyone had innate ability to get sub 10 minute kills everyone would be great players

>>14795591

>Post your youtube channel

Why the fuck would I have a youtube channel.

>go back to FU

I never said I disliked XX. I like it, but it's definitely the second worst, with MHW being the worst and leagues shittier.

>>14795593

>if everyone had innate ability to get sub 10 minute kills everyone would be great players

They do have the ability, they just refuse to work for it and would rather bitch.

>tfw watched every episode of rick and morty 10 times

>tfw can get 3 minute kills

>>14795599

Why do people cart after thousand of hours or not get sub 10/5 minute kills then?

Everyone can be CEOs,scientists and sprinters!Just work hard!

>>14795612

>practice

>git gud

wow it was so hard

>Everyone can be CEOs,scientists and sprinters!Just work hard!

Yes, just get into the right college, get the right degree and make the right connections.

>>14795618

Literally boomer tier

I'm out

>>14794388

Still not a reason to settle for World. Besides, by the time he's done with the PSP titles, 3DS/Wii U emulation might have progressed enough.

>>14794463

Of the best.

>>14794469

Except no one considers XX good. At best, it introduced some good ideas, like holding A to gather and swapping Kinsects on the Insect Glaives, and had some good new monsters, but by and large it's still considered a steaming pile of shit that only is rivaled by World.

>>14794495

>I'm exited for PC because I don't own a console myself and would like to be able to own and play a Monster Hunter game.

Again, PPSSPP. The entire reason PC was called "Master Race" to begin with was it's ability to emulate consoles and thus have access to not only it's own library but potentially any video game ever made.

Don't join any group with you guys unless I prove I can solo all G-rank and hyper monsters in under 20 minutes? Got it.

>>14794641

Bigger the absolute ass damage on display over the fact that we were not getting XX was one of the only things people could talk about in these generals for like 3 months until World was announced. And world still ended up better than XX

>>14796737

>And world still ended up better than XX

>1/10 the content

>1/100 the challenging content

>1/100 fun content

inb4 you can trivialize everything with brave/adept, World is just as easy as playing with either of those and you can choose not to use them(as I did).

>>14796737

>the fact that we were not getting XX was one of the only things people could talk about in these generals for like 3 months

What are you talking about? No one gave a shit because it was easily piratable, and for the handful of people who actually need shit in English to know what to do the English patch was out pretty quickly. I barely recall any complaints about XX not getting localized.

>world still ended up better than XX

No it didn't. Despite being done by the main team, World somehow managed to be worse than XX.

You live here you should know better.

>>14799055

honestly, didn't know he had one until I gave him a place to stay, hence me forbidding him from setting it up.

>>14799010

Get treatment

>>14799010

Throwing him out at 2am? Fucking cold, at least wait until 8am so he has a chance to sort out somewhere to sleep.

>>14799010

that's how arson starts

>>14798018

>They think /mhg/ is the only place on the internet.

What? You're the one who said "these generals"

I've never played a MH game before, which PSP game is the best?

>>14799836

Portable 3rd if you're a casul

Freedom Unite if you aren't.

>>14799836

FU for content and difficulty, P3rd for comfy and if you don't want to enter the series without lube.

>>14798964

Tell us how we know you''re a worldbabby and then get the fuck out.

So I pirated 4U on the DS, and I am a massive newfag to the series, so wat do now? I chose the hunting horn but I feel like it's not very newfag friendly. I'm also only as far as the konchu quest. Should I get some different armor? Is there a guide or something?

>>14802430

For where you are now the starting armor should be fine. I would suggest experimenting - there's nothing wrong with the Hunting Horn, but if you're new to the series and still at the beginning, it would be to your benefit to try out all the different weapons to find which ones are most comfortable for you.

>>14802430

Just play the damn game and use kiranico if you need to and you'll be fine.

Also look up weapon tutorials for the specific weapon you're using in that game, that helps out a ton.

>>14802430

Build the Great Jaggi armor, it's easy to build and gives Speed Sharpener, which will save your ass when you're learning the game. Just don't make the mistake of spending any Armor Spheres on it.

>>14802430

Hunting Horn is a bit complicated for someone new to the series. Managing all of your songs can be difficult, and add to that the weapon being centered around hitting the head of the monster for KOs, it can be challenging for a new player to use it well. Much harder than hammer, as it also does KOs but lacks the songs, which is already kind of tricky for a new player. IMO best weapons for starting out are things with a few simple attacks and not many extra gimmicks; Sword and Shield, Dual Blades, Longsword, Lance, or maybe Greatsword would probably be ideal. But really, go with whatever feels fun to use.

>konchus

So you haven't fought the Great Jaggi yet? He's the first real monster you fight. You'll probably get to him soon. His armor set is very nice for the early game, and it stays at least "good enough" for most of the main story.

>>14802430

Are you playing on New 3DS/2DS or Old 3DS without pro pad? On New 3DS turn camera speed to max for nub if you want dual stick like controls. Otherwise target camera is your friend and will save you hand cramps without needing to use touch screen for camera or PSP's claw technique. There's tutorial quests for weapons that give explainations on their basics. Sword and Shield is the best beginner's choice and most versatile because of mobility and shield. Great Sword would be the next weapon to try if you want power or Lance if you want safety (or Gunlance if you're Michael Bay).

Hunting Horn is more of a party weapon than solo because you need the right notes for the right melodies with the right monsters. And if you don't do some research you could end up with a horn with the wrong element or notes against that monster. Basic idea is you want raw attack and element buffs to kill monster quickly. Healing is nice in parties but if you know what you're doing you know heals waste time and potions are more effective. And defense is worthless. Wind res, heat/cold res, and sonic waves are situational and depend on monster. And believe in the meme, YOU CAN HIT THE DEVILJHO ON THE HEAD WITH A HUNTING HORN.

My personal favorite weapons are Switch Axe and Charge Blade. Yes I was Tri-baby on Wii. Always wanted to play MonHun but never had PS2 nor PSP growing up. Anyway every metafag on Tri went longsword. I went Switch Axe because if you can evade right Switch Axe is a great tool for learning monster safe zones. Least in Tri/3U and even 4U though Charge Blade is better because shield.

I just realized why the French all use insect glaive. They're all frogs.

>>14805177

>perhaps with the hammer seeing a bit of a nerf

I've been mostly using hammers and enjoy them quite a bit. So far the only monster I switched to a long sword for was the hot spring qurupeco because I had a hard time hitting its head, and besides those two the only other weapon that interests me is switch axe but I'll have to try that one out when I have the time.

Thanks for the answer, anon.

>>14804841

Its mainly the damage values and all the new mechanics which got introduced which make the game easier.

In Freedom Unite both Rathalos and Rathian have an instant charge which can two shot you even with G rank armor, low rank Tigrex charge can 3 shot you even with G rank armor, there are enemies like Fatalis and Yama Tsukami whose attacks you can either only survive with Guts as a gunner or at near 150 health as a blademaster. The only proper elder dragon in the game is easier than a Kushala Daora as its just the damage sponge from Tri given better hitzones so as not to be a grind.

Even if you disregard all of that just the fact that there is no Rajang equivalent in Portable 3rd makes it easier.

>>14805020

Ah, that makes sense.

I would have dropped my friendship with him the second he started being a manipulative cunt.

I can't stand those kinds of people, they're selfish and dangerous.

And if MHW makes you feel the same way about how nu-GOW made me feel then I understand your feelings when it comes to the game

I only really got into hammer in world because super sonic spin attack but I tried using it in Generations and my God it feels like shit. How do I git gud with it?

>>14806280

I've been using the golf swing combo with aerial style. Also what is a good hammer to carry me through village low rank? I am trying to get some progress done before GU comes out on the switch.

So I got KO'd on both great jaggi and seltas, but beat both. Is there something I'm missing or do I just need to git gud?

>>14808076

The best advice I can give you is don't get hit. You have 50 minutes to kill that monster. Focus on learning its moves, including what it does when enraged. Learn how to move near its head without getting hit. If it's a tall monster hit its legs to trip it.

>>14808076

What >>14808105 said, and also try to learn to eyeball the hit range of your own strikes. Especially from 4th gen onward where varying elevations is a thing, and especially for a monster like Seltas who can spend a lot of time hovering just out of reach, misjudging distance can cause you to swing at bad times, leaving you open to take hits.

>>14806280

Super pound as your standard attack and triple pound when you get an opening

>>14804841

It's because FU's hitboxes are hilariously broken, and G rank is a HUGE modifier on difficulty, as MH is rarely if ever hard before the G hits.

Alright, I'm getting the hang of this. I tried the greatsword and the hammer, but settled on the long sword cause it lets me move fast but also had great range and that neat charge mechanic. I have most of the jaggi set except the boots and the chest piece. Will the kings faulds drop again?

>>14812388

>but settled on the long sword cause it lets me move fast but also had great range and that neat charge mechanic

LS actually got nerfed in MH4U coming from FU and 3U because of that charge mechanic.

>Will the kings faulds drop again

Break its head

>>14812751

Gotcha.

>>14809153

What is super pound?
