/v/ - Video Games

What's your favorite palico builds in gen/XX? Prowler need not apply. There's only one decent build for prowler.

>>14875735

None, cats throw off the ai and don't do anything to help anyway, free traps, a tiny bit of status damage or the occasional heal are not worth the tedium of the monster running around the map chasing after them. If I'm taking felynes it's just for the gimmick of having cats in outfits come along with you, and I'm not really that into cats anyway.

>>14873929

Tigrex because his only gimmick is running and screaming at you. Rex also has a great theme and his run cycle would actually be genuinely unsettling if it were in a different game. I find it funny that deviljho is always seen as the angry monster when everything he does is so slow and half-hearted, Deviljho always comes across as a lovable brute, tigrex on the other hand seems like he would straight up stab a man for spilling his drink and carry on with the rest of his evening like nothing happened.

Otherwise Kut-ku for no particular reason. His head stagger noise is kind of endearing, as well as all the other autistic shit it does.

im not fucking buying soyitch for one game, fuck that gay fag who decided mh gen ultimate aint comming to west on 3ds

>>14877142

Dude there's an english patch in the OP and you only need like grade school japanese to functionally play XX, especially if you've already played gen.

>>14873929

Tigrex for the same reason, except it was P2nd, made me rage quit that game and then I returned with the goal of getting my revenge in FU. Finally bringing that fucker down after preparing and learning how it moves was fantastic and got me into the series. If Tigrex didn't destroy me and made me git gud, I probably wouldn't be in these threads today.

>>14877122

They at least make decent meat shields for gathering runs early game. And they're required to unlock trade routes to easily restock mushrooms, insects, and fish. I have fun making them because I like customer characters in general. Though you're right. The AI screw half the time isn't worth bringing them along if you're killing monsters fast.

>>14877167

Well yeah, I have a whole load of palicos, even a couple that that I actually like, but goddamn are they useless even if built well, so there isn't much point discussing favourite cat builds. Unless this turns into us discussing how we dressed up our palicoes like some old cat ladies posting pictures of Mittens wearing a pair of mittens I don't really know where to go with it.

>>14877142

Don't worry you're not missing much. It's like missing the horrible Monster Hunter MMO

>>14877142

Anon, I have bad news for you.

Every Monster Hunter from here on out is going to be locked behind some sort of online paywall. When World Ultimate comes to PC, if it comes to PC, I'm betting it will require a subscription because ypu need PS+ subscription to play on PS4 (and soon PS5).

>>14877326

I don't have evidence. I just have this terrible gut feeling that whoever wished on the monkey's paw wished for a fate worse than Denuvo.

>>14877346

Well, they already got World itself, so it's a moot point really.

>>14877326

>I'm betting it will require a subscription because ypu need PS+ subscription to play on PS4 (and soon PS5).

haha how can you be this fucking retarded

So, I'm looking at the following two LBGs in FU

http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Valkyrie_Heart

http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Azure_Sakura

Is there ANY benefit to the Valkyrie Heart at all? The only arguable thing I could see is getting to load one more Pierce 1 per reload, but that's kinda moot considering Azure is the one that can Rapid it. At least the Spartacus gets a damage boon to compensate for not being able to Rapid Normal 2.

Lunastra trailer just came out and she comes out tomorrow.

Only monsters from the leaked list left are now Oroshi Kirin and Alatreon.

Judging from the time frame the new monsters come out O.Kirin is probably coming out in June and Alatreon most likely in July.

>>14877912

>Is there ANY benefit to the Valkyrie Heart at all

Nope. Its cheaper and easier to make for a reason.

>>14877947

>When does this game get good? I put 7 hours into Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for PSP

Maybe you should get past the tutorial first

>>14877947

>same 3 monsters

What are you talking about? Each rank unlocks new things to fight.

>it's not even playable when I have a TV show or podcast to distract me.

What the fuck kind of game is playable when you're distracted by random garbage?

>>14877965

>Nope. Its cheaper and easier to make for a reason.

A fair point, it just seemed odd since the Spartacus had SOME benefit to it if you were maining Pierce 1, and since they all kind of "unlock" around the same time…

>>14877974

>What the fuck kind of game is playable when you're distracted by random garbage?

To be fair Monster Hunter is a great audiobook/podcast game even if the music itself is great.

>>14877991

>Mandatory grinding

<hunting monsters

yeah the game isn't for you.

>>14877991

>I see. I only was playing it because it seems to be a part of NEET culture more than other games for some reason.

Probably because it's a good game. If you don't relish the thought of mastering the nuance of your weapon to tangle with a variety of monsters that can demolish you in a heartbeat, you'd be best off finding something else.

>>14877998

I don't see how it would be, unless you're just doing early game material runs or shit you're not going to be focusing on the outside audio at all.

>>14878129

>the combat just hasn't aged well

I don't understand what people mean when they say this. Games don't age, they're still the same as they were when they released. FU was great when it came out, and it's still just as great now. The only way you'd have problems with it is if you were going backwards from later in the series and thus missing out on some of the changes they made to weapons later down the line like the expanded GS combos. If you start with FU, there's really nothing to complain about.

>>14877947

Should probably look up key quests and blow through those instead of doing the whole list. Higher ranks will open up. And if you feel like you need every set of armor then you're going to be here for a long time. Low rank armor becomes obsolete once you hit high then G-rank. Pretty sure this applies to FU as with any MonHun.

Also stop multitasking while playing video games. Especially difficult ones. Hard games can be used to train and exercise the mind. Your focus will be clearer. And your problem solving and quick thinking will gradually improve with real life situations as well. Shitty boring slogfests grinding games that don't demand you pay much attention while playing are bad games. And if you have to take frequent breaks between quests.

>>14877774

Oh well World doesn't need a Playstation Plus subscription. My mistake. It has yet to be seen if Switch version of XX will need paid online since that ball is in Capcom's court. Nintendo did say online matchmaking is up to third parties.

>>14878197

>missing out on some of the changes they made to weapons later down the line like the expanded GS combos

Stuff like this is what everyone means when they say hasn't aged well.

>>14878293

>Oh well World doesn't need a Playstation Plus subscription. My mistake.

It does require Plus.

>Switch version of XX

It's free right now, and has been since launch last summer. When Nintendo launches their paid online service in September for the Switch, XX will require it like everything else on the Switch. Price will be $20/year.

>>14878308

But then that wouldn't apply if you start from FU, only if you start from a later game like P3 and go backwards. Even then, that's what you would HOPE would happen with a series, since ideally you want a series to improve as you go along.

>>14878336

Yes but some improvements are so necessary people don't want to go back to playing without them. So if anyone wants to replay an older title they're gonna be used to all the improvements over the years and find they can't live without them anymore.

>>14878347

But, again, that only applies if you start from a later installment in the series. >>14878129 was trying to claim that the so-called aging is reason to start from later installments when if anything it would be a reason to start from the beginning of the franchise and work your way forward. It's a moot point in the case of Monster Hunter though, since while there are some very nice QoL upgrades throughout the series (4th gen's Item Sets in particular), there are none that would prevent a player from going backwards even to the original stick-to-attack PS2 titles.

Kay. I better stop being retarded and post evidence next time. MonHun's online is guarenteed to be paywalled from here on out then. What's going to happen to the 3DS version of XX's online service in Japan? I know west's servers are cucked behind paywall since GenU is Switch exclusive.

>>14875735

Healer cat

True health, Armor, Demon, Health, Detox, Vitality, Recovery

Skills should be tailored to the monster & frequency you want to b healed

Counter & Support boost for more frequent moves

Earplugs & Tremor res

Negate confusion

Fashion sense, Def-Centric & Misty helper are good dlc skills

I have plans on making an entire cast of "Estpolis Musou" army of cats. This is after I hit high rank when I have time to mop-up quests. And majority of the cast is for fun rather than efficiency.

Lufia II

Maxim > Fighting

Tia > Healing

Selan > Bombing

Guy > Protection

Dekar > Fighting

Artea > Support

Lexis > Gathering

Iris > Charisma - Starter cat

Lufia I

Hero (named Nova) > Healing

Aguro > Protection

Jerin > Support

Sinistrals

Gades > Fighting

Amon > Charisma

Daos > Support

Erim > Bombing

Still working on the Legend Returns list since I don't know the cast as well.

>>14878679

Apparently you have to kill Lunastra to get it. I'd love to see people who need this mantle survive a fight with 2 elder dragons. Still fucking retarded though.

>>14878752

it's a good thing the SOS system makes it easy to get carried by good players

>>14878680

What are you actually going to do with all these cats though? Bear in mind that outside of the 2 or 3 barely viable prowler sets, playing as a cat means you're pretty much trying to kill the monster exclusively with kicks and a few SBBs. I mean it goes beyond just 'lacking efficiency' into being physically painful to try and accomplish anything with them. Well, I guess you could still do small monster and gathering quests.

>>14878752

>spam rooms until you get a group that carries you

>auto-evade skill activated :^)

>>14878781

I'm kinda glad I'm waiting for a PS5 now. Thought about getting a PS4 but then I remembered KHIII will get a 4K remix on PS5. I'd like to try MonHun World but it sounds like it's system is made for a community of diaper shitters.

>>14878805

>What are you actually going to do with all these cats though?

Make cat videos and memes. Not sure if palico antics are a dead horse but I want to give it a shot mostly for my enjoyment once I beat the game.

Some people like to speedrun hunts. I like to troll monster AI.

>fa4f8c

>>14878943

>14878919

>>14878984

How far in are you in XX?

>>14879042

hr2

>>14878892

>I like to troll monster AI.

Speedrunning is literally resetting and AI manipulation. If you try and play normally the AI will rarely give you the best opportunity to exploit its weakpoints. All having cats with you does is make you chase the monster around the map like you've got a corner horner or 'sniper' lbg player that doesn't understand what crit distance is with you. At best, the cats will be behind you out of frame but slightly to one side, so when the monster starts its wind-up that looks like it's aimed for you, it was actually aimed at the cat and you walk right the fuck into the attack when you would've only been grazing the hitbox normally.

>>14879066

want me to boost you?

>>14879092

would be nice but not sure if i should skip everything

>>14879103

I am only in high rank. You'll need to do all that shit again in the village anyway

>>14879086

I see… So it sounds like the game punishes you for having more players on the field rather than than going at it solo. Or at least it punishes players who try to flee the monsters rather actively engage it.

>>14879108

i dont know, it seems like theres no point in getting boosted then but thanks for the offer

>>14879127

>So it sounds like the game punishes you for having more players on the field rather than than going at it solo

Not really

While having cats along will increase the hunt time by a few minutes, it also means the monster will be off your ass and you'll get healed and more opportunities to attack.

There are very few weapons where that is a detriment.

>>14879127

It doesn't 'punish' you, if you're totally new to the game and have absolutely no idea what you're doing or what the monster is going to do, it's much safer to play with more players since you won't get targetted consecutively. It's also faster to heal if you get hit since you can usually just spam a potion the second you get back up instead of having to find an opening. Also, more human players means straight up more damage, even if you might personally lose DPS (A good group would be synergic though), but since cat players contribute significantly less DPS and only provide minimal usefulness, while being completely incapable of synergising with you (due to being ai themselves), it's really only a loss.

>>14879147

>There are very few weapons where that is a detriment.

having the monster suddenly turn the opposte direction of where you were expecting when you had an attack lined up to hit a weakpoint is always a detriment. Cats can increase time by a hell of a lot even in casual play and are only helpful in quests where you're not certain if you can actually survive against the monster.

The bigger issue though is that I think he's talking about playing as sub-optimal prowlers solo with cats, rather than just playing normally and having cat with you.

>>14879147

I suppose the decision depends on survivability vs damage and behavior exploitation.

>>14878448

Freedom unite felt like shit to play even when I first played it. It's why I dropped the piece of shit. World plays way better than FU. I didn't like the games until p3rd and 3U. FU is garbage.

>>14879178

Sub-optimal play with three cats can be an interesting challenge to test my adaptability. The concept being the infamous Bubsy quote. It's a self-imposed challenge which I know will probably wind up being a complete waste of time (entertainment value being "cat videos"). Which is why I'm saving that challenge for after I "gut gud" and complete the game solo. And hopefully by then I have respectable clear times on the hell hunts in under 25-30 minutes.

Pardon the sage. I should hit update more before posting.

>>14879277

It's not really adaptability, it's just patience. When I say it's like kicking a monster to death I'm not really joking. Sub-optimal cats aren't fun to play with and they do no damage. You don't really get any new options aside from access to infinite weak SBBs that deal something like 5 or 10 true damage, about the same damage as a single hit with a regular weapon.

>>14879387

Have you tried it from experience yourself? Because this sounds like there's a story behind you disuading me from doing this.

>>14879417

Yeah I tried triple cats with a cat that was actually a pretty decent boomerang build against a few weak monsters in high rank using end-high rank equipment and it took me nearly 30 minutes of just spamming boomerangs. I tried an easier quest with just hunting small monsters using a totally unoptimized fighting type quest and it took minutes of spamming the 3 attacks that cats get to even get through a sparse handful of monsters that I could've one shot with a half decent GS. In double cross I tried out a good but not optimal berserker cat, or whatever the new cat type is called in gens, against an azuros or something like that and it took a very long time against it. The point is that cats have less options, not more options, and even an ideal cat is only comparable to an average weapon with no skills, so a suboptimal cat against a strong monster would require speed-run tier playing to clear a quest before you yourself personally die of the tedium of the cat's almost non-existant moveset. Now I'm no speedrunner, and there are definitely better players in the thread then me but I'm still well above the average from what I've seen when hunting with most people in here, so if you're inexperienced with the game you're liable to have an even worse time, and may genuinely need to consider the possibility of a time out during a quest.

Still, the prowler-specific quests ae usually balanced around weaker cats and have more manageable objectives, and it is still possible to kill weaker monsters without going into 30 minute+ times using cats, as well as small monster and gathering quests, like I mentioned before, plus you could always go one rank below their current equips (e.g. highrank equips in low-rank) and get manageable times. More than anything just be aware that you will have a very difficult to enjoy experience if you want to play as cats solo.

>>14879485

>Yeah I tried triple cats with a cat that was actually a pretty decent boomerang build against a few weak monsters in high rank using end-high rank equipment and it took me nearly 30 minutes of just spamming boomerangs

Are you talking about MHGen/XX because if so that is fucking pathetic.

>>14878958

I played world and I think about 2/5ths of the decisions made in that game are retarded..

>>14879141

do a quest with me and let us trade guild cards. It would unlock hunters for hire for both of us.

>>14879515

You're probably right, it was a long time ago so I've probably got some memories mixed up. I'll try again sometime to see if I can clarify. 30 minutes seems like a lot even for a cat. An optimized boomerang build shouldn't be more than 20 even with bad play.

>>14879485

Well then. That's an interesting story. I suppose I'll have to keep the decision to myself whether or not I go through going hypers triple cat. Again, it won't be for a very long time. I still have to climb the ranks solo. I want to do both village and hub.

And you'll know when once you see Prowler webms.

>>14879528

sure but im going to sleep soon

are you fine with doing that tomorrow?

>>14879558

depends if I am awake myself

>>14878448

>Games that have more options in general to a given weapon/class.

>"Better" games.

That's ludicrous. More options does not automatically make a game better. Imagine if you had the "option" to instantly teleport to any part of any stage, or to negate any enemy action, or unleash uninterruptible combos ad nauseam without penalty. If anything, I would say that games are most defined by your limitations.

>Playing FU blind for the first time feels like pic related.

While I'm not clear on what that picture is meant to convey, as someone whose intro to the series was playing FU completely solo without even knowing anyone who'd played the game to give advice/pointers, I found slowly uncovering the depth of the game and how each mechanic worked to be a lot of fun and what immersed me in the game.

>Are you implying it would perfectly fine for someone to start off with the PS2 ones?

The only reason I didn't at the time was availability, to be honest, and I have gone back and played them. In general I believe in playing games from the very beginning and following their development - i.e. starting Ys from the PC-88, or Phantasy Star from the Master System, etc. That's probably part of why I think it's silly to suggest that games age, because by and large good games from the past are still perfectly playable and enjoyable, and in many cases much more so than the majority of titles released today.

>>14878461

>What's going to happen to the 3DS version of XX's online service in Japan?

Nothing, it's free and will continue to be.

>>14878819

>KH

You could just go to /y/ and get the same experience Anon. For World, just wait to pirate the PC version. Everything worth getting on the PS4 is on either the Vita, the PS3, or the PC.

>>14878958

>>14879519

I played World and I think there were only a handful of minor ideas that were any positives at all. It's easily the worst mainline Monster Hunter I've played period.

>>14879120

You can do it Anon, I believe in you!

>>14880270

>You can do it Anon, I believe in you!

If you were there you would be singing another tune.

>>14880270

The sad thing about World is that the tech is there to make a really good drop in and out MonHun experience. Yes, I understand the target audience is a bunch of millenial gaijin raised with a crack pipe and an Xbox 360. However the more I read into World and how not fundamental Monster Hunter it has become the more I shake my head. The FU guy from last thread has some pretty good points. A lot of the strategy, learning, and problem solving the games were about seems to be lost in the transition to World. Maybe I don't understand because I wasn't raised with skinnerbox hand-holding vidya.

I play Kingdom Hearts for the action RPG gameplay, not the OC porn, sorry.

>>14880379

Why the fuck do people always treat MH like such a big deal? The game isnt hard at all.

I did everything by myself in 3u all the way up to g-rank deviljho back when I was like 15-16.

inb4 underage, 3u was 5 years ago

But /v/ of all places treats fucking treats beating LR great jaggi and playing the game in general like some sort of accomplishment.

I don't know about you, what kind of games you play or how you even manage to tie your shoes in the morning but good luck with soloing the end game stuff such as G-rank and elder dragons.

If you actually had trouble with a G.Jaggi then I don't think you would even manage it

>>14880403

World lost a bunch of its preperation and micromanaging along with the importance of the gathering hub. I don't mind the new armor system, in fact I think its pretty neat. Its fairly balanced and mixing and matching skills for max DPS is quite fun in its own right. Too bad that there is no more negative skills I would have avoided bows like the plauge in the previous games due to me needing to make a different armorset but now I don't really need to be worried about that anymore. The bow quickly became one of my favorite weapons after looking up a youtube tutorial on it.

The hunts with the exception of the free item box use for shitters and no option to turn off scoutflies is my favorite part of the game because I actually feel like a hunter who hunts monsters in something such as their own ecosystem instead of little arenas stitched together with loading screens.

Hunts are actually kinda like the opening CGI's to the previous games now, even though monster AI's may act a little fucky sometimes if you know how to make them do it.

>>14880379

You're giving up before the game even started? I wish I could take back every bit of encouragement I gave you. You should consider trying a game where the monsters deal more damage, you might be falling into the trap of playing like a retard because you're able to face tank everything so easily that the monsters aren't really a threat. This actually makes the game a lot less enjoyable since it creates a dynamic where the monster is pestering you more than controlling the battle flow and ecouraging spam.

>>14880452

>Why the fuck do people always treat MH like such a big deal? The game isnt hard at all.

>But /v/ of all places treats fucking treats beating LR great jaggi and playing the game in general like some sort of accomplishment.

That's literally just a meme making fun of the streamer, who might be one of the worst players on the planet.

>I did everything by myself in 3u all the way up to g-rank deviljho

Didn't even get close to finishing the game if you only made it up to deviljho.

Also I don't know how many times I have to say this, but the problem is that MHW isn't a monster hunter game because it ignores the absolute most core aspect of monster hunter which is that the player has to actually play around the monster. MHW just makes it any other spammy arpg and all the new players coming from spammy arpgs love it and talk about how it looks cooler and only ever focus on arguing down the little things that make the game generally easier instead of this huge, glaring, fundamental fault.

>>14880270

We can loop around this all day so let me just ask you this. Would you not consider the controls set in the original ps2 Monster Hunter games outdated?

>>14880550

You know that anyone without a mental deficit and the knowledge that 'Oh I don't need to clear every quest in this list to advance to the next set' can get to HR in about 5 hours? The average new player gets their within like 10-20 at worst, even if they're taking it easy. If you rush, you can get there in less than 3. God knows how fast speedrunners can do it.

>>14880552

How is it outdated? They tried something new on a sony ds2 which is basically fucking identical to ds4 minus a dedicated share button and a useless touchpad. It has nothing to do with aging is exclusively related to the devs trying out a weird experiment. It's not as if any of the weapons were fast enough in ps2 monhun to actually require a level of accuracy greater than the sticks could provide.

>>14880676

>getting to HR in 5 hours

Thats bullshit and you know it.

With the sheer amount of quests in each game and my need to complete every single one of them it takes me DOZENS of hours to get there. And then I make it to g-rank around 100-150+ hours depending on the game.

>>14880676

>5 hours to HR

I have an easier time believing kikes are a misunderstood and oppressed benevolent people

>>14880452

Does World still have the Blade/Gunner armor split in some way? If I had my way I would have a as Heavy/Light armor split with Defense vs Resistance and different skill sets. Also ideally I would include light physics calculations for armor weight like knockback and thrown damage (because why wouldn't Rathalos pick you up like a hawk and throw your limp body in his nest?). Also heavier armor is harder to escape pins than lighter armor but heavier armor takes less damage each bite.

A lance user would greatly benefit from heavy gear because he wouldn't be pushed around as much. A bug stick could go light armor for better mobility with speed dust if he doesn't mind tanking fireballs. Heavy bowgun could go heavy armor to make bowgun shield useful for fucking once. Shell Slings would use a mix of light and heavy to combine melee and range skill. Etc.

As for hunting halls, I can see why they became obsolete in World. That said hunting halls can come back as a general chat hub for a platform like the Nintendo Switch where you need multiple hunting grounds. The halls themselves can be up to 32 players big but then you can divide those players into camps of 4 hunters each. And each party is dispatched to one hunting ground at a time where they can choose to chain hunt bounties. For players that drop connection, as long as you're in that hall you can drop in and out of any hunting party between quests. I suppose if there is an S.O.S. system like World where you have to open empty slotsduring quests then it automatically penalizes your rewards to carting up to 2 times regardless how many carts before.

>>14880550

Sounds like you need a break. MonHun is not an easy game to marathon. Go ahead and catch up on playing some other vidya. We'll be here when you come back. Besides you got further in MonHun than alot of people do. Congrats. Higher ranks might seem cheap at first but the fundamentals are the same. It's also a hard game to stomach playing alone too.

>>14880552

There is an interesting flow with how the control sticks work. I'm not quite sure how it would work with insect glaive. I do remember in Tri with SnS you tap the stick in one direction to combo, but then you slide the stick to round slash or tilt opposite to shield bash. It's a very bass ackwards yet intuitive way to play. Also firing via clickie with bowgun while aiming with stick made sense. If stick attacks came back with target cam it'd be like peanut butter and marmalade.

>>14880706

>>14880728

In p3rd? Yeah. One hour to get some budget attack boosts (if you feel like it) and a weapon with green sharpness, 4 hours to clear the like dozen or so actual key quests. You don't need to grind out every single stupid meta skill that leet speedrunners use just to blaze your way through trash mobs in LR, and you certainly don't need to go through and complete every single quest available to you. Only do this if you're aiming to attempt the village bonus quests using low-rank gear, and you can always preserve your low rank equipment to do that quest later when you feel like 100%-ing the quest list. We're not talking getting to g-rank here, just high rank, and in p3rd no less. It's pretty stupid to burn yourself out on trash easy version mobs because your autism forbids you from skipping to the real content, but also isn't strong enough to keep you going through the real content after the easy stuff is done. Imagine if someone said they played through a game on easy and it sucked and you tell them to play on normal but they say 'no I have to clear every difficulty level' and you ask why they didn't just start on normal and then they say it's because they're too autistic to do anything out of order? That's basically what you're saying if you need to clear every single low rank quest before high rank but refuse to do hr because you're tired of the game.

>>14880379

Well shit, that's a shame, but if you haven't enjoyed it after 100 hours, it probably just isn't the game for you. Most people would've given up at the Jaggi I think, and I'm glad you put in the effort to git gud and progress beyond that.

>>14880403

>drop in and out

Not sure I follow.

>action RPG gameplay

I love action RPGs, but unless they've really tuned it up since the first two, KH is fucking awful at that.

>>14880452

>The game isnt hard at all.

I find it a challenge, and that's why I enjoy it - if I felt assured I'd win all the time, I wouldn't play it.

>>14880552

How would they be "outdated"? They're unusual to me, but unusual controls aren't a question of era - look at Armored Core. I don't see how you can even come up with the concept of "outdated controls."

>>14880812

>Does World still have the Blade/Gunner armor split in some way?

Not really. There's a handful of Skills that only benefit Blademasters or only Gunners, but a few of those have also been combined into Skills that do one thing for Blades and one thing for Guns. Anyone can still equip any kind of armor. There's alpha and beta armor, but the stats are identical, with the only difference being a skill point or two extra on the alphas, and a slot or two extra on the betas, so more often than not it's not really a choice, one will just be objectively better than the other depending on how useful the skills on the alpha are.

>Shell Slings

What? Are you thinking of a different game or something?

>It's also a hard game to stomach playing alone too.

Really? I find it boring playing with other people, there's no challenge.

>>14881056

Shell sling is a weapon I thought of. It's a ranged weapon that throws "concussive bullets" (bombs but not bombs) in a ball and chain like sling using coatings as ammo. It's the closest thing I can think of to bringing a canon without bringing a canon. Concept of the weapon is you manually load a bullet, wind up a spin, and release to throw. You can wind up without a bullethave to manually load each bullet for a ball and chain melee attack. That said if you're too close with your wind up with a loaded bullet the bullet will blow up in your face and you will take damage. Weapon deals raw bludgeoning damage like the hammer rather than bomb damage.

The other weapon I think I proposed was a double spear that splits into two one-handed short spears tied together via rope or chain. Thinking about calling it a Rope Harpoon or Rope Javelin but the name might trigger certain people. There's a broad head and a javelin head. Spear together has a guard. Spear apart doesn't but you can throw javelin head and harpoon onto monsters. From there you can tether and swing around or pull up and vault for an aerial attack. It's a cousin to insect glaive as charge blade was to switch axe.

World Lunastra is actually kinda fun. Nice having a boss that can't be forced out of the air from flash pods from the get go, gives bounce bombs a use. Gives small barrel bombs a use too since they can get rid of the flames she leaves on the ground.

>>14883281

What was the point of introducing her in freedom unite then?

Its like a Rathalos/Ratian relationship but in this case Teostra is king and Lunastra is queen, it especially felt weird having only teostra in 4u but no lunastra.

Its like as if you don't like new content, especially from one of this threads favorite game, FU.

>>14883425

Someone said he was here since around Generations came out.

Does eighth fleet still hunt?

>>14885520

CFW and get XX.

>>14885191

That was an unrelated disagreement group, you'd have to ask them.

>>14885520

Believe it or not, you're in luck - for whatever odd reason, that game used the SD card's extra data to save game progress instead of the usual save data section of the game card. Even if you buy another copy you should still be able to use your old data. That said, you should definitely do as >>14885543 says. There should be a utility floating around to convert Generations data into X data that can be used to carry over into XX.

>>14886168

oh thank god I don't have to refight my way back up. Thanks anon, you're the best.

>>14886260

You should play 4u instead. You'll really like it. I have played all of the handheld games and 4u is my absolute favorite.

>>14884665

>What was the point of introducing her in freedom unite then?

Its literally an easier Teostra. Like Monoblos you could only fight it in village quests.

>>14884665

Rathalos and rathian are totally different, might as well say that ykk and gypceros are the same but recolored. Teo/luna are almost exactly identical however, really more like hr/g-rank changes, or this >>14887739, than gender/species changes or even subspecies changes. Lunastra's design is better though, teo is just a lion with horns and wings, at least luna has that weird crown thing on it's head and an interesting coloration.

>>14886260

I don't even like 4U that much and I'd still suggest it over XX no contest, especially if it's your first game. XX might even be worse than world for a first game. Consider 3U as well, in japanese to avoid the def boost, if your japanese is decent enough, or if you don't care about reading the stuff in-game since playing quests in monster hunter functionally only requires being able to read グレート.

The best way to get generations to double cross is to just download X and use jksv to import your generations extdata into that The architecture is exactly the same so you don't have to convert or anything, just open up jksv and hit import extdata, then find the folder where the gens data is kept. Double cross brings up an option first thing when you run it to import your data from cross, so just keep mashing a until you get your data in.

There's probably a tool for gens to cross that preserves western only DLC items as well, and there might be a tool for gens to double cross, but it's unlikely since gens to double cross is just using the cross-double cross built in import tool with your gens save data in the right location.

To clarify though, you can't upgrade your SD card because you ca't afford it right? Putting a new SD card into a n3ds is nearly idiot proofed, the screws for the first layer on the backplate even have washers on them so that they won't fall out

Flash bomb Lunastra while enraged makes her automatically use her super. Fight is super easy once you figure that out

>>14889093

>The bigger retarded decision is going full iApple and not having a replaceable battery without voiding warranty on the Switch.

They did that with the Switch? Fuck, even more glad I didn't buy one now. Not surprising though, battery exploits are nothing new.

>>14889093

y'know, with the sheer amount of ass sweat I'm excreting, diapers sounds like a decent idea

Lunastra is really fun to fight. She is way different than Teo now. Her tail swipe leaves a trail of blue flame and most of he attacks leave behind flames that are so hot you need cool drinks. She also flies around more and if you flash bomb her while enraged she will automatically use her nova which is way more dangerous than Teo's. It can fill the social arena and if you aren't careful and top off health you will die.

Best monster in world.

>>14889258

>flames that are so hot you need cool drinks.

>flames that are so hot that they make you mildly uncomfortable

If you bring 1 (one) Astera Jerky the Lunastra fight becomes a joke

>>14889093

What the hell are you talking about. There's a single plastic backplate you need to take off to get access to the battery and SD card slot. The battery just slips out once you have the plate off, it takes like, 5 seconds to swap SD cards. Are you saying that you just don't want to buy microSDs then? Sure it's annoying but shooting yourself in the foot because you're afraid you'll fuck up a opening a tupperware container is pretty stupid.

>>14889707

>We could have a slot on the side of the console

>Or we could make them unscrew a plate to get access to a recessed slot for no fucking reason whatsoever.

>LET'S DO THE WORSE OPTION

Yes, I did not want to buy a microSD card at the time when microSD card prices were bloated compared to regular SD cards. I was lucky to find a microSD card on sale online when I wanted to go from the 4gig default my old 3DS had to the 32 gig microSD I have now. And I wouldn't have migrated to new3DS if I have never found a used golden Zelda Hylian crest on the cheap. I got it for $225 when it was being scalped for $400 or more new six months after it sold out.

Also keep in mind I was used to swapping batteries out of an old Gameboy Advance or even old cell phones where the battery wasn't protected by screws. I liked swapping SD cards in old 3DS if I wanted to play music via music player or pull 3D photos on PC. Now I don't use the music player or photos at all because the photo transfer app sucks. And unscrewing the backplate and screwing it back on every time I want to add new music is simply not fun.

>inb4 should've done all those things on your phone instead.

>>14889794

>for no fucking reason whatsoever

imagine being this ignorant about engineering and manufacturing.

Learned some do's and don't's with IG in X.

>Reticle for pharamone gun is always center camera. There is rarely a need to told hold R.

>Don't "paint" with your R finisher. It wastes time, leaves you open, is out of reach for parts you need to hit for white and red dust most of the time. And when monster topples you can quicky extract from parts anyway.

>Try to extract necessary dust without pharamones at close distance for refill. White dust lasts longer than red. And mouths are almost always in your face.

>Bug Blow and Extract Hunter in Guild Style is superior to using Aerial Style for damage output. Aerial style is useful for evading, but you can dodge roll or maneuver instead. Plus no aerial style in 4u.

>Don't use Swarm at first. You won't be close enough to monsters for it to be effective at first. Starts too weak to be effective anyway.

>Back-flipping will usually put enough distance between you and monster to make pole vaulting attacks hit.

>You can retreat pole-vault by holding back. And if you need more air time or an air break to be grazed instead of blown, pharamone gun.

>Speed dust gives you slightly faster walking speed than sheathed weapon, like hunting horn movement boost, which is more useful than sheath/sprinting to evade.

>Most attacks is rarely more than one to two beats before retreat/defense. You'll be doing X>X>Back+A a lot or forward+X>Back+A if not dodge.

>Bomb Barrel L+, Traps, and tranqs are still your friends to keep hunts from draging on.

>Always build speed. Balance bug is a meme by soyboys and Gaijincuck. Max speed bug gives +30% affinity with red+white. Alt speed bug gives elemental damage boost but affinity is universal.

>Kick anyone who brings cats to your room. Cats are for shitty cat videos and contribute nothing useful to hunts online.

>>14890160

>Always build speed. Balance bug is a meme by soyboys and Gaijincuck. Max speed bug gives +30% affinity with red+white. Alt speed bug gives elemental damage boost but affinity is universal.

In X, yes. In 4U, even without the speed skill 150 Speed is enough, and double extract time is worth it.

>>14895125

Thats because IG was broken in 4U

>Laggy was in the beta

>Cut and will never be included in the future

>Zinogre most likely won't be in the game either

>Brachy even less likely

World just gets worse and worse by the second.

>>14895750

They'll probably be re-added for G-version which the goyim will have to buy a PS5 to play next console generation.

>>14895440

And CB too. And in XX the Lance is broken. Capcom can't balance worth shit.

>>14896801

Whats broken about lances in XX? Never used them.

>>14896885

They gave a simple, spammable attack 70mv, which is as powerful as a Lv2 GS charge except you can pop it off way faster.

Is there any point to Lunastras weapons over Teos other than visual?

>>14895750

Tell me about it. I just want some good monsters for when the PC version releases so there's an actual meaty roster of monsters to fight, but instead we're getting piecemealed with reskins with ever shittier weapon styles.

>need tail carves to upgrade unga bunga hammer

You're playing World

What else did you expect?

>>14897675

Even when the PC version comes out, it's still going to be World. Just download PPSSPP and play the actual games on PC.

>>14907494

The cat looks fucking awful and the (((localization))) didn't do him any favors. I enjoyed the game still, combining monster genes to upgrade your monster and doing combos like an Ice Seregios was neat, especially since their colors change depending on the elements you make them use.

The combat's a turn-off for some since attacks have 3 types which run on a triangle. When using a normal attack you can decide which type to use but monsters have tendencies and attack on their own unless you use your special meter to order them. Special skills from monsters and yourself also use the triangle but some skills are gray and are unaffected by the triangle. It's pretty much like rock paper scissors but if you're at a disadvantage it's not gonna stop your Deviljho from just nuking some poor fucker. Fighting monsters then becomes a battle of learning their patterns and knowing which attacks to use and when, which is what you do in Monster Hunter anyways, so I felt it fit.

Overall I enjoyed it, had a good time, beware though that the english version not only has some (((localization))) (the village elder speaks in rhymes and they turned a character into a generic 80s surfer dude bro who's not even consistent since he goes from "chill out brah" to talking normally at complete random, and the moments where the localizers made him talk like some tryhard trying to be cool guy are awful, like he's telling you how he almost died to Tigrex but survived because he became one with the environment and the monster, which pretty much describes what Monster Hunter is all about, it's supposed to be a touching story even his Monster Hunternese reflects it, but the dialogs all like "I ALMOST DIED BRAH BUT THEN I BECAME ONE WITH NATURE MAAAN IT WAS RAD".), but they never brought the latest JP patch state side so you can't tame monsters like Rajang and quite a few Elder Dragons that are in the game already.

>>14907527

>it's supposed to be a touching story even his Monster Hunternese reflects it,

Better description is "serious" but the localizationmade it into a complete joke.

>>14907527

>but they never brought the latest JP patch state side

What the fuck how fucking trash holy fucking shit fuck.

>>14907494

MH Stories is downright comparable to Shit on a stick and is by far the WORST MH game ive ever played, whoever says world is the worst is fucking kidding themsevles.

The story is generic kiddie anime shit

The characters are trash and I wanted to shoot naviru in the face with a shotgun.

The combat is the most basic and downright mind numbing combat system ive ever seen in vidya because its just basically rock paper scissors.

Music and the world is mediocre and I have no incentive to explore or want to engage in the world.

The only thing good about this abortion of the game would be the artstyle but the monsties still looks pretty fucking dumb at times.

Get it on freeshop or through a .cia file, dont buy that fucking game because there is a 9/10 chance that you will fucking regret it, but if you do like it then good on you. You also have shit taste

>>14907543

It's a pretty big update too since it lets you tame a decent amount of monsters you couldn't before. Don't know what Capcom was thinking but yeah right now the patch is JP exclusive.

>>14907580

Wow. That game is even less worth playing now, let alone buying at all.

>>14907494

>Is MH Stories any good?

If you really really REALLY like playing Janken.

>>14907559

>whoever says world is the worst is fucking kidding themsevles.

Hence why people tend to say it's the worst main series title, rather than "worst thing with the brand name slapped on it" since that'd mean competing with Stories, Ailu Village, Frontier, Online, and the cell phone garbage.

>>14907590

To be fair, you shouldn't be playing/supporting localized versions of anything to begin with, but Stories is just fucking awful period.

>>14907494

The MH anime is what convinced me to try some of the older MH games. Seeing all those monsters that aren't in MHW made me mad jelly

Thinking about making a transition set from low rank to high like low rank Rathalos set, or should I git gud and save plate carves for high rank set?

>>14902762

whats that?

>>14907977

Whatever gets you to move on to the better games.

>>14908011

I would save rare drops for weapons if you have trouble with getting them, and just whip up armor when you feel like you need it. The only time you should really be getting in depth into armor building is when you hit G Rank anyway.

Been playing nothing but P3rd lately, what is the best hammer to get through low rank and is is possible to do gathering hall online?

>>14897840

Just get it limping and use a boomerang lad.

>>14910007

What really gets me about World is how they're doing that whole drawn out trickle release of monsters in an attempt to keep people playing longer - they STILL haven't released the quest to slay the monster you mentioned.

>>14910007

I have no doubt that someone will make a mod that "replaces G.Jagras or Deviljhos character model with hers so you can hunt her down and put her down like the ravenous and hungry beast of a monster she is.**

It will probably look weird, but It would definetly get a chuckle out of me

HEY HUNTERS ARE YOU BAD ENOUGH DUDES TO EMULATE DOS AND PLAY THAT?

FUCK NO YOU NIGS ARE SOME PUSSIES

>>14902307"

I didn't realize thank you.

>>14910187

Already did. Fun game, but seasons end up being just a nuisance, especially with box space as limited as it was then.

>>14902307

I can not find the ISO anywhere

>>14910103

I like the Handler. She just wants to eat and nothing is going to stop her not even Deviljho. That was such a funny quest. I like how the urgent quests involved the characters and stuff. The Huntsman is the same guy from them opening movie of Freedom Unite and he helps motivate you to hunt down Teostra giving you words of encouragement the entire hunt. There is a lot of love and attention to detail put into that character. For example he mentions that he mastered the great sword at a young age put he is far too old to bear its weight so he uses a longsword now, but he's training a disciple in the art of great sword but never says who it is, but the more you play jet becomes more obvious it's the field team leader who talks about his firm, strict master. This only further reinforces that the Huntsman is the same guy from the FU opening movie who also uses a great sword. The game is full of Easter eggs like this.

>>14910389

>That was such a funny quest.

Babysitting special ed. children isn't funny, just tiring and frustrating.

Its not like people have different tastes and like games or anything.

>>14910820

>muh mhw is not a real mh game

>>14888434

>Rathalos and rathian are totally different

no more different then teo/luna are they're both pallatte swaps with the same offensive elements phys/fire/poison and phys/fire/blast respectively with the only differing factor is one will favor one or the other secondary elements and the other will favor the other.

case in point, teo favors blast damage and blast status over fire damage while luna is a walking napalm factory that just got a shipment of white phosphorus from israel.

>teo is just a lion with horns and wings

what is a manticore, nigger?

>>14878958

legitimately it's best use is mitigating the luna/two MOAB attack.

>>14911417

I find Rathian and Rathalos to be different enough that they each stand distinct from one another. They behave very differently from each other and offer different challenges. My favorite thing about them is fighting them for the first time and realizing just how impressive it feels to kill them. I mean I played FU years before Skyrim came out, but I played Morrowind long before FU came out and when I saw Skyrim had Dragons I instantly wished we could get an open world sandbox style game with Monster Hunter style combat and adventurous quests and dungeons to explore. If someone who never played Skyrim played Monster Hunter and fought Rathalos they would immediately see why people say Skyrim is a shit game.

>>14910820

I have actually been playing a lot of the PSP games again since I got my hands on PPSSPP on my laptop. I downloaded an English patch version of P3rd back when I polished off the guild hall from Freedom UniP3rbut the translation wasn't finished and I couldn't wrap my head around the new features. I eventually played 3U but playing old school monster hunter with a DS4 is surprisingly comfy. I wish they would port every game to PC so we didn't have to use 3rd party software and such to play online. 4 Ultimate on PC is my dream game. I would never need another game for the rest of my life.

>>14911417

>no more different then teo/luna

Are you legitimately retarded?

How about a different moveset, attack pattern and AI behavior?

>>14911417

>>14911588

>>14911663

For one I find that Rathalos likes to fly around like a bitch a whole lot more than a Rathian does. I'd bring flash bombs for a Rathalos but I can usually stand waiting out a Rathian the few times it does take to the air.

>>14912122

>TFW no Kut-Ku and Peco hunt together.

I have a morbid idea where Peco's spits that cause element defense down should persist as oil slicks you could accidentally slip on or set fire to if you're not careful.

>>14912122

They hate most of 3rd gen's earlygame counterparts to 1st/2nd gen monsters. Peco, giggi, baggi, and wroggi are never ever coming back, because Capcom hates fun.

>>14912144

>no peco calling bazelgeuse for carpet bomb shenanigans

I hate you for even suggesting this. Fuck you, you piece of shit, the mental image is burned into my eyes. I'll be back once I've chugged a liter of vodka to wash away this hell.

>>14910758

They'll only get louder and more annoying if/when they announce the release date for the PC version of World during E3. God this is going to be a long summer.

>>14910820

>Hes pretty butthurt about that guys post even though it was interesting

Not really on both accounts.

>and he was technically right about everything in it.

>The Huntsman is the same guy from them opening movie of Freedom Unite

Nigger please.

>>14911588

>I wish they would port every game to PC so we didn't have to use 3rd party software

The entire point of the PC is that you can use that shit though. There's no need for an official port when you can just emulate everything.

>>14912183

>Deviljho and Rajang

Why did I imagine the words "Deviljho eating hot Rajang dick"?

In sperg news I thought about having a cautious semi-sentient monster as a flagship for V as the most AI complex monster ever. The monster would avoid hunters or lure hunters into traps. It's also a monster that won't trigger the yellow eye icon unless you have Perception skill. And the monster won't try to kill you unless you try to kill it first. Which then you'll have a confrontation before it flees into the next area to hide.

I also thought about making the monster either a fang wyvern or elder dragon with dragon element. It won't have wings. However it has two tentacle-like appendages on its back with mitt-like grips. It uses the tentacles to swing aroung and pick up things. The monster can use "tools" by taking things from the environment, combine them, and throw them. It can make a flash bomb out of flashbugs or poison bombs out of toadstools. The monster is an omnivore too. So it can eat meat, fish, mushrooms, fruit, and herbs.

The monster if you make it angry can whip and throw hunters into other hunters. It'll use palicos against you as throwing weapons. Thee monster can also pin you down and temporarily steal your weapon if you don't escape in time and use that against you too. Luckily weapons are heavy and the monster loses grip easily. Still you have to recover your dropped weapon with a gathering animation.

And the monster loves to play hang man. It'll use it's tentacles as a noose to hang Velocidrome by the neck and instantly kill it. Which means if you don't have a buddy to help you escape the noose instant death. The noose only happens when the monster is hiding.

>>14912303

>Which means if you don't have a buddy to help you escape the noose instant death.

Making gimmicks dependent on multiplayer is a horrible idea, but using Dung Bombs or the like to escape would work.

>>14912313

It's a clear beginner's trap that's made clear when you first encounter the monster via cutscene witnessing a Velocidrome getting hanged. Even then seasoned players will be smart enough to throw a paintball at the tentacle first. Trap is for if you're a complete retard who jumps into hunts head first without knowing what they're doing. You learn quickly after the first time or go back to playing world. Casual filters 101.

>>14912343

That's even more reason to not let multiplayer be a way out, since that'll just encourage the shitters who get off on shovelware like Left 4 Dead.

>>14912366

So how about there's no escape regardless. Dumbasses get themselves hanged, cart, entire team quit on them, and shitters wonder why they get past HR4 without soloing.

>>14912433

*they can't get past HR4 without soloing

>>14912433

>So how about there's no escape regardless

Definitely sounds better as a casual filter than letting multiplayer save them

>>14912576

Works for me. Besides by the time you hunt this monster you have Rathalos under your pelt anyway.

>>14912255

It's okay PC version soon. You'll get to irate it like the poorfag you are.

>>14912742

I got a little past HR 70 in World. It's shit from beginning to end.

>>14912756

>there are people that will buy and defend this

>>14912796

Can't wait for the PC version to come out, save editors and cheat engine will finally be considered piracy.

>>14912756

I can see the nose of the fink rat advertising this. Holy shit. Playing for hacking tools that may as well be spyware/bloatware.

>>14912183

>They hate most of 3rd gen's earlygame counterparts to 1st/2nd gen monsters. Peco, giggi, baggi, and wroggi are never ever coming back, because Capcom hates fun.

It's a shame because 3rd gen is the only generation I can think of where virtually all of the monsters introduced actually felt pretty well-balanced and fun to fight. They all had a sort of heavy, stompy quality that was just so much more enjoyable to engage with than all these twiggy, twitchy shitters like the various Dromes and Yians.

>>14912756

>Dragon's Dogma, also a hacky-slashy fantasy game made by Capcom, lets you purchase an item once you reach end-game that allows you fully edit your character to your heart's content

>in MHW you have to pay real, actual dollars to not even edit your character's face, just hairstyle and shit

>stuff that you can change at any time at your item box free of charge in all the other mainline games

Fucking hell, Capcom.

>>14912959

>3rd gen is the only generation I can think of where virtually all of the monsters introduced actually felt pretty well-balanced and fun to fight

Half of the new monsters in Tri were garbage and the other half became garbage if underwater.

>>14912756

>>14912959

>>14912997

Its either pay $2.99 to Crapcom for a character change or $59.99 to Save Wizard for hacking. Seriously considering the latter since it'll let me change just about anything for no further cost.

>>14912756

What the fuck? Most of this shit was available for free in the other MH games. What's next, needing to pay real money to hire different looking Palicos? Buying lootboxes for random charms and decorations without grinding? Microtransactions to buy extra armor spheres?

Desite my progress I get to start a new save file because I carted against Shogun. Which is my damn fault for not playing FU. Doing a permadeath challenge on the side.

>>14925114

Why not fix that by just playing FU?

>>14927298

Whenever I get time. I'm looking at a busy weekend cleaning carpets again.

Anyone playing XX on citra? Just got to G rank so I could probably boost you or help you farm something. I need the money and mats and unity points don't hurt.

G rank for world will be revealed at e3. 34 additional monsters.

Zinogre, Queropeco, Tigrex, Tetsucabra, Chameleons, Bulldrome, Khezu, Duramboros, Barioth and Najarala are returning along with an adult Xeno'jiiva who remains unnamed. There will be a Black Clover Cross over event coming later this year along with a new Tundra themed map with the release of Oroshi Kirin later in July.

That is all.

>>14935180

>Queropeco

That alone makes it less likely than EA making a new CnC game that isn't AIDS.

>>14935180

>G rank for world will be revealed at e3.

Probably.

>34 additional monsters.

Bullshit. There's no way they're doubling the monster count, even with it as pathetically low as it is.

>Duramboros

>Najarala

Odd choices given their skeletons

>Black Clover Cross

What is this and why should we care?

>>14935180

How soon are we going to get World 2 announced after World Ultimate (assuming the G-rank update is the Ultimate PC version as well)?

>>14938734

Why would it be odd given their skeletons? Do you know something we don't? Do you have a source?

I held this general sentiment in 4U, but Gen has really cemented my opinion: whoever decided that it was acceptable to port the Yians into 4th gen without polishing their movesets ought to lose his job. Their completely un-telegraphed, comes out in a billisecond, "fuck you, have some damage" attacks (tail-spin and "run forward" in particular) just feel like such bullshit next to all of these newer monsters that actually reward you for getting good and learning their moves.

Also, Hypers are an absolute crock. As tedious as the Deviants are to fight, they at least bring something new to the table with their variant movesets. Hypers are the worst kind of increased challenge- just the same bullshit you've been dealing with all along, except with bigger numbers and an insultingly inflated health pool. It just feels like a giant middle finger to solo players.

polite sage for double-post

Also, how in the hell did I consistently solo Gold Rathian back in 3U? This thing is intolerable.

Noticed talk of Tsujimoto arriving at E3, potentially for the Sony press conference or simply for the Time attack tournament/signings?

>>14964211

Welcome to the glaring problems that plague Gen/XX

>>14964211

>Their completely un-telegraphed, comes out in a billisecond, "fuck you, have some damage" attacks (tail-spin and "run forward" in particular

Git gud

>>14976156

None of those are even close to being problems in XX or Gen. Least of all their health.

>>14964460

who cares, king behemoth in world is going to be the hypest crossover of the year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4VF5IwJur0

>>14935180

Lying nigger, kill yourself.

>>14976239

>Hypers just being the same monster with bloated health pools isn't a problem in XX

Yea there's the obvious stuff with styles, arts, and prowlers but that shit is still a problem too.

>>14976762

Hyper monsters don't have bloated health pools, they barely have more than 4000HP than normal counterparts.

>>14976239

>git gud

This.

Every time I see "git gud" I think of millenials smoking weed, eating Doritos, drinking Mountain Dew, and listening to dubstep.

>>14957606

>Why would it be odd given their skeletons?

Because they're pretty unique ones that can't really be reused to bring in other monsters. If they were really going to bring in 30 new monsters, you can bet there'd be a lot of shared skeletons (like the Tigrex/Narga/Barioth)

>>14976245

This is probably the first time I've ever mentioned skeletons at all. You guys are desperate for a boogeyman besides the ever-feared Nipanon it seems.

>>14978243

This. I finally got back into FU recently and it just feels so right. God I missed this.

Any new major announcements for MonHun at e3? I ended up skipping it this year. I can watch video game trailers on my own time. I don't need to sit through a whole conference.

>>14987386

Behemoth from Final Fantasy is an all new monster to the world roster. Cactaur Palico. That is all.

>>14987609

Have fun experiencing the HORRIBLE grind in gen

Play UUUU instead.

>>14987609

>>replaying gen to get prepped for it

Can you even transfer your saves from gen to Gen U?

>>14989215

The trailer said you can transfer saves so yes. Though seriously? You're buying (((localized))) games by (((8-4)))?

>>14989404

what makes you think I am gonna bother with GU?

>>14987609

XX has been available in English for over a year now. Why would you settle for a shittier (((localization)))?

>>14918081

[muffled shekel shuffle in the distance]

World has no PC release date and no word on World Ultimate/G-rank. Only a Behemoth as a new cross-over promo monster with Final Fantasy. Okay.

I'll play FU on PPSSPP then as soon as I mop up a few things with my current session with X.

>>14991230

>playing X

>not XX

>>14991230

Probably going to show up at Gamescom or TGS

>>14991282

>playing XX

>all it adds is more retarded styles, horrible monsters, and more reliance on absolute evade to be "harder". Not to mention the worst HP/damage bloat in the series

>>14991373

That's what I figured. MonHun isn't that big in the west. And announcements like that are saved for TGS first usually. Then western release announcements are for the next year.

>>14991901

>Not to mention the worst HP/damage bloat in the series

How much of a shitter are you?

Seriously where are you faggots getting your talking points from? Even the most hyper shit in XX takes less time to solo than the average G rank hunt in FU.

>>14992052

From the actual hp numbers numbnuts. The monsters in XX have absurd amounts of HP, but the damage is incredibly bloated to compensate for it.

>>14992089

>The monsters in XX have absurd amounts of HP, but the damage is incredibly bloated to compensate for it

So they don't have absurd amount of HP but you can't resist just regurgitating meaningless talking points

>>14992106

>bloat is a good thing

>>14992110

>game has monsters with appropriate healths for the amount of damage hunters can do

>hunts literally take less time than they used to

>this is bloated because your pea brain fries itself when it sees any more than 4 digit numbers

Come back when you aren't as brain dead as you are right now.

>>14992052

I got a physical copy of Gen as a gift. I'll try PPSSPP with FU first before Citra for XX. Truth be told I want to go back to 4u. And with the success of (toilet)World pandering to shitters I will probably never see the MonHunV I want to see.

>>14992150

there is a custom build floating around which can run 4U even on i5s.

is 3U worth playing through after FU, or should I skip to 4U?

>>14992310

depends on how much you can stomach the underwater stuff.

>>14992370

recommend me a weapon type? I used Long Sword in FU and it was fun, but I want to try something new.

are ranged weapons a meme solo?

>>14992391

Switch Axe and Lances are top tier in 3U, dual blades got more complex for the better, great sword is pretty much the same apart from a few changes, hammers are overall worse than in FU and P3rd and LS is pretty much the same except for smoother combo flow.

oh and HBG remains top tier in terms of clear times and ease of use.

>>14992522

Speaking of HBG does anyone use the shield here or stick with power barrel?

>>14992310

3U is fantastic. I consider 4U to be better, but 3U is definitely worth playing.

>>14992976

I've only ever used power barrels. I don't see any reason to use something else.

Behemoth is in world now. He will obviously share a Skeleton with Zinogre. Zinogre is in world now.

>>14991901

G rank of monsters like Dino and Lagi are a lot more fun due to their new moves, and Valfalk and Atral Ka are good fights.

>>14992025

Monster Hunter, true, but this is World, which was made entirely for the West, originally announced at E3, and which sold 3 times stronger in the West than in Japan. TGS isn't going to be the site of any announcements, it's either going to be E3 or Gamescom.

>>14992391

Rapid LBGs are perfectly viable solo. Can't speak on HBGs or Bows since I have little to no experience with them though.

>>14993276

More likely he'll be using Nergigante's skeleton.

Doesn't capcom realize the casuals that bought world have long abondoned the game by now?

Getting money from them doesn't mean jackshit in the longrun if they don't care to keep playing it long term.

>>14993395

Companies never learn that lesson, no matter how many times reality slaps them in the face with it. They make up excuses and go on with trying to chase that crowd because they're more obsessed with making more money than the competition than they are with the quality of what they're actually making, since the people at the top have no personal investment in the games due to not really being part of the process of making them.

>>14993344

Then it'll be two years before we see World Ultimate release. Still have that DLC train to milk all next year before the announcement.

>>14976628

> Anon omplain about reskinned monster and roster in world, new monster is added still complain.

Kys

>>14993759

Nowhere in my post did i imply, insinuate, or infer that it flopped you idiot.

>>14993769

You said the game lacked interest from the "crowd" it pandered to which implies a flop. I am telling you that simply isn't true. The game is just as strong as it was near launch. You can get into a full session publically or use the community LFG tool to find a full party at just about any time of the day. I have two characters one for high rank and low rank which I use to help randoms with and I rarely have issues finding parties with either. By suggesting the interest died quickly is to suggest the game failed to attract an audience which is 100% false. You're either stupid or a liar.

>>14993759

>37000 people

>THE COMMUNITY IS THRIVING MORE THAN EVER BEFORE!

>>14993759

Never said a thing about it being a flop, just that the fact of the matter is that companies don't learn from their mistakes, something we were just clearly shown with Capcom making the look and overall feel and aesthetic of Devil May Cry 5 more closely resemble Ninja Theory's flop of a reboot than any of the proper DMC titles.

Why the fuck would anyone play FU when 4U exists? Broken hitboxes and monsters being health sponges is the most artificial way to make a game "challenging".

>>15001267

>Broken hitboxes and monsters being health sponges is the most artificial way to make a game "challenging".

git gud

>>15001269

I like FU, but I can't really go back to it with all the content 3, 4U and even X(and XX) introduced.

>>15001267

>Why the fuck would anyone play FU when 4U exists?

Because it's fun.

>Broken hitboxes and monsters being health sponges is the most artificial way to make a game "challenging".

The hitboxes aren't normally too bad, and health sponging is nowhere near as bad as Apex.

>>15001273

The hardest thing about playing older Monster Hunters at this point is storage space limitations and Item Sets. If we could get a remake of FU with Item Sets and P3rd's onsen system, I might not ever need to play another Monster Hunter.

>>14878752

>>14889660

>I'd love to see people who need this mantle survive a fight with 2 elder dragons

>By the time you get to the point where you defeat teostra and lunastra you're already skilled enough to be able to be without the mantle

Aren't the noobs just going to get fucking carried like always?

>>15002470

Sounds like it. Kind of why before going online I always solo village and low rank. High rank too if it's Ultimate/G.

>>15002581

You should solo G Rank as well first it's more fun that way

>>15002619

I'm going to have no choice but to solo G-rank. Everyone except hardcore speedrunners have moved onto World or are soloing older games. I'm not talking about key quests either. I'm talking about completing every quest.

>>15002739

Pretty sure most people here have long since trashed World and gone back to older or other games. I've been playing a bit of Freedom Unite lately, as well as a relatively new file of 4G for when I'm out and about. Not sure which title you're working on, but there's probably people around here playing it.

>>15002739

Which game are you playing? If you are emulating them you could probably find people still playing them.

>>15002881

>It's like fighting 3 Bazelgueses on fucking speed

So, really easy because they end up damaging and stunning each other constantly?

>>15002813

Mopping up Gen physical because why not? It was a gift.

>>15002904

Bazel is weird man. He will attack nonstop until another Bazel shows up then attack it nonstop. None of the other monsters really do this and it's weird as fuck.

>>14995529

That is more people playing Monster Hunter at one time than any other game in the series you idiot.

>>15001430

Adding extra storage and armor sets would casualize the game though. I need autistic limitations to what I can and can't do or it's not real Monster Hunter.

Mhw is shit.

>>15004229

I got 300 hours into MHW and I think it's pretty subpar.

Too easy, too little content and lacking charm.

I just want my MHGU and I'll be a happy camper. But hey man, feel free to keep grinding them tempereds my dude.

>>15003855

In my experience, he will attack literally anything else but you given the opportunity. The only time I've been able to keep his focus is when there are no other large monsters in the area.

>>15003867

No, just more Westerners playing any single Monster Hunter at one time than ever before.

>>15004320

XX is right there for free in the OP, even with English translation if you somehow don't know how Monster Hunter works yet.

>>15004739

>>Pirate XX

I'm gonna BUY it for my switch, though I already got the translated CIA.

Pro controller on a friend's copy spoiled me.

>>15004749

>I'm gonna BUY it for my switch

Switch is region free, isn't it? At least import it instead of supporting cancer.

>>15004320

I don't find World Lacks charm. The palicos are cuter than ever. The monsters are more lifelike and can fight each other, the game has the best chef in the series, and the Gathering hub is the best one since the Yukumo hotsprings.

>>15004830

If anything 4u lacked any real charm. The comfy village aspect was removed, the gathering hall is boring, the music is kind of mostly alright. It's definitely the snooziest game in the series for drawing memories of anything particularly aesthetic out of me. The only standout part of 4u for me was the new monsters which there were a scant few in the package.

>>15004830

>The palicos are cuter than ever.

That's not saying much - they're cats, they're not cute at all, never have been and never will be.

>The monsters are more lifelike and can fight each other

Which only makes them easier and thus much more boring.

>>15005933

>Furfag propaganda

That has nothing to do with liking or disliking World, cats are just not cute in the slightest.

>>15005998

Anyone who has seen a cat in real life could tell you that they're simply obnoxious beasts that damage video game equipment and furniture, break into food supplies, and leave their waste and messes all about. There is nothing endearing or attractive about them, and only the most masochistic of beings would harbor positive opinions of them after being around one.

When will World get some good music?

>>15006760

>>15006797

>Implying

It's a moot point anyway, since anyone who would buy a pet in the first place is by definition not intelligent enough to train it properly much like anyone who would have children

>>15006780

It did already it's just only available in a limited time quest

>>15006825

Posts like this make me glad for containment threads like this.

>>15006825

>anyone who would buy a pet in the first place is by definition not intelligent enough to train it

…comming from someone that has no clue about how to handle pets, you are a funny one.

I would like to see where you pull that definition from

>>15006825

>like anyone who would have children

Gee, I wonder (((who))) could be behind this post.

>>15006825

This post comes close to the fabled edgy singularity.

>>15006825

A shitter at Monhun. A shitter with handeling pets. A shitter at dealing with kids. And a shitter in real life.

SHITTER ALERT!!! WE GOT A SUMMER SHITTER OVER HERE!!!

>>15006462

>>15006903

He hates animals and children. Definitely suspect.

>>15006462

It depends. Having a cat in a cramped hellhole like London and neglecting its needs produces cats like you describe. But if you have a cat in a rural area where the cat can go outside and has a big hunting territory, then the cat is simply an awesome creature.

>>15008568

You can't blame everything on MHW you know.

>>15008568

X/XX also brought a ton of infighting. It's almost like when the games get worse people start arguing because there's nothing to distract them

>>15008568

Kikecom is going to kike. This is going to happen sooner than later. That doesn't turn me off to world.

Second pic is what turns me off. The more I keep reading about World giving everything to the hunters to empower them, the more I feel this game was made to cater to silverspoon hipster dickheads who never had to work for anything in their life.

For fuck sakes can someone please explain to me why kirin got the new arch tempered form and not nerg or fucking anjanath. God damn I hate monster hunter worlds kirin. I fucking hate him so god damn much. Literally more then anything in life itself

yeah I know get good

>>15013489

Except you're forgetting that free updates were always a thing in Monster Hunter, and they weren't time-locked for no reason either. The fact remains that World is the first time the series has had paid DLC, period.

>>15013514

The point is that DLC is something positive if it's done in a sensible way. There is a line between

>pay up for meme-currency every day just so you can properly play

and

>we made some cool new shit, if this proves lucrative we might produce even more content after the fact

All I'm asking for is to wait until they actually cross that line before chimping out. I know it's Crapcom, but it's possible that they learn from mistakes of others/their own.

>>15013782

Schlomo, it's modern day Kikecom. Eat a dung bomb if you think they will change their model for Monster Hunter World, the game designed for casual paid DLC shit eaters.

>>15013782

>The point is that DLC is something positive if it's done in a sensible way

>All I'm asking for is to wait until they actually cross that line before chimping out

They are already selling the ability to remake your character you retarded mongoloid.

>Make character the way you want them the first time around

????

>>15015689

>just don't buy it goy! don't worry about the direction and quality of a series you enjoy.

>>15016211

>offering some cosmetic DLC is bad

Cosmetic DLC is harmless in and of itself, the problem is when you start charging money for shit.

>kvetching

Freudian slip much?

>Secondly there's nothing wrong with limited events, so long as they eventually re-appear. Helps keep them fresh.

No it doesn't. That makes absolutely no sense.
