>>15015811

This tbh.

Gas yourself 4U/gen fags.

>>15015845

Yeah, World is where it's at. Oldfags leave and stay leave.

>>15015863

Now I want a Giggi/Khezu pic that says 'It's free SCREEEEEEEEEEL estate.'

>>15015866 (checked)

Was getting dubs part of your plan?

>>15015996

>Does buyin a 3DS for the ds games worth it?

Considering how easy it is to CFW a 3DS, absolutely.

>>15016001

Did they finally get DS piracy working on 3DS? Last I checked you still needed a special cartridge.

>>15016071

DS piracy still requires a cart unfortunately, yeah. I figured >>15015996 meant 3U/4U by "ds games" though since the regular DS never had any MonHun.

>>15016223

I'm still soloing gen with Stories on the side. I'm still doing village quests. I started late. I can't say. I think the last Monster Hunter I played online extensively was 3u on the Wii U. Then I had to stop playing online games because of internet bandwith cap and IRL stuff.

>>15016223

>as well as a learning how to Swaxe

Demon riot when you can

Energy recharge when you are about to run out

There, you've mastered Switch Axe in Gen.

>How did these people even get to unrestricted HR

They get carried by other bored HR hunters who just want company.

>>15016331

Is it me or is movement speed in axe mode slower in gen? I remember axe mode movement speed being as fast as unsheathed SnS in 3u. Or maybe I'm spoiled on glaive's speed extracts.

>>15016331

>Slot in Demon Riot and Energy Recharge

>Spam X

>Demon riot when you can

>Energy recharge when you are about to run out

>There, you've mastered Switch Axe in Gen.

If my sole concern was maximum efficiency then sure, but I had a lot of fun working out for myself which attacks can lead into switching modes, and using that to freely swap between axe and sword mode in long, unbroken attack chains.

>>15016399

Striker and all three axe arts can seriously wreck some shit. Also have you tried aerial style with sword mode?

>>15016399

>but I had a lot of fun working out for myself which attacks can lead into switching modes

You'd love brave Swaxe but that isn't in Gen.

>>15016420

>have you tried aerial style with sword mode?

I haven't, but that sounds like it could be fun. Back when the game first came out I had started off using Aerial style, but I eventually felt that it was too easy to abuse, especially with large/slow-moving monsters. For most of the game I've just been alternating between Guild and Adept. I don't think I've ever taken Striker out for a spin, come to think of it.

>>15016546

Striker style is about having lots of synergy with your hunting arts. Like what anon says for Switch Axe you'll be abusing Demon Riot and Recharge in sword mode until you trip/trap the monster. Then you use Trance Slash while he's down to deal some serious damage with Demon Riot still going. You can even do the explosive finish after Trance Slash while Demon Riot I think. It's been a while.

Downside about Striker with SA is that it plays exactly like it does in old school Tri without the extra morph combo attacks. Striker style takes out a lot of move options in favor of more hunting arts. Luckily if it's not Insect Glaive most weapons play like FU or Tri. Charge Blade is tolerable. Insect Glaive makes too many compromises to it's moveset.

You either Aerial and Extract Hunter or Guild with Swarm/Bug Blow or Extract Hunter. Castle Walls is surprisingly good with Insect Glaive and Hunting Horn for super armor.

>>15016601

>Downside about Striker with SA is that it plays exactly like it does in old school Tri without the extra morph combo attacks

If you're going to play it like "the most optimal way" you're not going to be using those attacks.

The transforming attacks get modified when in brave mode while using brave stance into near semicircular spins that hit everything around you for good damage. These attacks move you around so you can effectively chase a limping monster with this. You also get better evades and normal axe moves. XX also introduces a new hunting art which buffs the stationary stamina consuming axe chops to be faster and more damaging and gives it a proper finisher.

>>15016746

Here's a better option, just don't play XX. The worst option you could pick because brave is just that broken and the art problem from X only got made massively worse.

Shit I don't even like world and I'd still say it at least maintains the core gameplay better than XX

That and the optimal ways to play in XX are very boring

>>15016764

>The worst option you could pick because brave is just that broken

Brave is very subpar for most weapons. The only weapon for which it supplants the guild style default playstyle is HBG

>Shit I don't even like world and I'd still say it at least maintains the core gameplay better than XX

And you are retarded for thinking that.

>>15016795

yeah spamming anime fighting moves complete with an absurdly long iframe cancel move with charge bars is much better than an overly fast weightless motion simulator.

Also

>near inability to die unless you're massive trash at the game isn't OP

>>15016807

>yeah spamming anime fighting moves

are you perchance a goon?

>>near inability to die unless you're massive trash at the game isn't OP

What is even your point here? The game should kill you even if you are good at it?

>>15016821

Man you really ran out of steam fast on why XX wasn't garbage and went to calling goon fast didn't you.

Also

>not being massive trash is being good

In what fucking world

>>15016826

Maybe if you had a point I would actually argue with you.

Calling something anime isn't an argument unless you are a goon which seems to be the right target demographic for MHW.

>>15016848

>I can't come up for a reason why hunter arts are a positive addition so I'm just going to call you random things until you leave

shit, you showed me

>>15016860

>mechanics that allow more aggressive plays are bad because I use them defensively

you being a shitter is not the game's fault. All those hyper monsters have 10k+ HP for a reason.

>>15016864

Man those additions

Anyone knows where to find all the DLCs for MHP2ndG?

And no, I don't want to switch to MHFU.

>>15015852

>>15015863

>>15015884

I dare any of you who claim to be oldfags to kill a Rathian without armor on the original PS2 Monster Hunter. Show them scrubs how OGs play.

>>15016870

>>15016971

Funny how you assumed I'm an oldfag from a shitpost. Jokes on you again. My first MonHun was Tri. Fuck my life.

>>15016971

If there is a MonHunV that isn't World then SA's axe mode needs a movement speed buff with just enough speed to let you dodge attacks without needing to roll. Axe mode has better reach than sword mode. Hopefully with a new light physics engine axe mode will have better stopping power than sword mode for clashing with certain monster attacks.

>>15016795

We're talking about vanilla Gen/X. Thanks for the heads up for GenU/XX.

>>15016870

>>when one of them is about overextending and not committing because it's a get out of jail free card

>overextending AND not committing

did you think before you typed that?

>>Switch Axe just becomes a sword completely nullifying it's own gimmick

XX literally adds a top tier art just for axe mode

At this point you need to start making arguments against your proven retardation

>>a majority of the good ones are buffs

Yeah like Shoryugeki, Spinning Meteor, Full House, Critical Juncture, unhinged spirit and almost every Gun lance art.

Not an oldfag, but I've done this on the PSP port of the original. It's fun

Ho boy. I played insect glaive so long I forgot how to charge blade. Village low rank quests is when I usually sample all weapons before moving on with a main for high rank and G. I know the only real weapons to use is hammer and HBG.

Post your favorite themes

For me it's a tie up between this, chameleos and nargacuga

>>15036139

This is how you do a final boss theme.

>>15036178

Eh its still good music

>>15036175

>This is how you do a final boss theme.

Wrong.

>TFW you will never fight a cephalopod-like monster that puppets the preserved zombie heads of wyverns it eats as guns and weapons.

>>15036337

are you being cheeky?

Atlal Ka is a better final boss

>>15036291

>Nakarkos

You know for all the shit Gen rightfully deserves, the new monster designs were all great, really loved how I went into Nakarkos's high rank fight expecting the same walk in the park as low rank and it turned out I was merely fighting its ass before, the entire fight is creepy too with the fire tentacle having Glavenus bits attached to it. It's similar to what we do but when it's a monster doing it, there's something scary about it, maybe it's the fact that it's just a natural thing instead of a man made thing like our weapons.

Also the second part of his theme reminds of Resident Evil boss music, like Code Veronica's Alexia battle themes.

>>15036351

No, I want a monster that decapitates the heads of other monsters and uses those heads to spit fireballs, electrobolts, and whatnot. Then I remembered the octopus that rips the limbs off of other octopi and beats them to death with their own arms.

>>15036367

Its called Narkaros and its already in the game

>>15036352

I want more actual birds to hunt after Malfestio. A vulture, eagle, kiwi, or ostritch monster would be fun. Hell make a kiwi bird wyvern monster dangerous with it's long skewering beak and near-human stamina to keep jogging after you giving you literally no breaks to heal.

>>15036412

>Hell make a kiwi bird wyvern monster dangerous with it's long skewering beak and near-human stamina to keep jogging after you giving you literally no breaks to heal.

You mean like Yian Garuga that cannot fly?

>>15036402

I thought those were bones. Trying not to spoil myself too much before I get there.

>>15036420

Maybe, but not as fast. Kiwi would certainly be cheap. Kiwi would sort of be like a raptor that's constantly walking all the time and never sits still for anything other than to eat or drink when tired. Kiwi would constantly jab you with it's beak while it's walking until you fall over, then it tramples over, pivots, then repeat. Or if you don't fall over Kiwi will back hop and sweep you with it's beak, then football kick you in the ass across the zone. If Kiwi gets mad it'll pole vault with it's beak to gain air and stomp the ground. If you're caught directly underneath the ground pound, Kiwi will stomp, stomp, stomp until you flash bomb, escape, or die.

>>15036467

Have you fought a Deviljho yet?

>>15036139

All four of the Heavenly Kings' themes were great for me, but Dino's took the cake for that brass "chorus." Good stuff. Otherwise, Brachydios probably.

>>15036175

>>15036236

The only good music in World was the 8-bit Megaman music used in the Rush DLC quest If you want good final boss music in MonHun, look up the final bosses of Tri/3U.

>>15036352

>>15036387

Ost was a boring fight in and of itself, but the delivery of it in terms of how Low Rank was just an introduction to fuck with you for when it showed it's true colors in High Rank was brilliant. Even the way the music changed with it was excellent.

Truth be told I like the normal battle themes of a lot of areas.

>>15036981

>battle themes of a lot of areas

same

This, Deserted Island, Snowy Mountains(2 not FU) and Misty Peaks.

How about that Arch Tempered Moron though?

>>15037109

It looks like a dino.

>>15037109

>bone eater

>acidic vomit (poison?)

>vibrant display (color shifting?)

They are damn fantastic.

>>15037152

Better idea.

Rustic Acid: Acid not only does Defense/Element down, but also dulls weapon's sharpness and jams Bowguns/Bows. You will need to use a whetstone or wait to unjam your bowgun/bow. With bow you can't shoot (because your bow is folded and can'r unfold) but can still melee.

Or the monster can use liquid plaster solution from dissolved bones to cause petrification.

>>15036584

That guy looks amazing. The hunter in me is screaming at me to hunt that fucker down and get those sweet carves.

Its too bad thers a 90% chance that we will never see it in any games though.

>>15037212

Yes, that sounds like it will be a nice monster to add to MHW.

>>15037837

Eh, personally I'd rather see it in a Monster Hunter game

>>15037091

AT Val Hazaak is causing some crying due to not being a punching bag that dies in 2 minutes

>>15036139

>>15036175

This music makes me feel I'm watching a cutscene before I get to play the game. This is the final boss theme? Fucking trash.

Question: Which wyvern would be the best to hug?

>>15040464

Arzuros

>>15015664

How do i get my MonHun fix on PC? Online is chinkshit and emulators rarely if ever work with online, not to mention that World's gonna take a while to release on pc anyway.

>>15042880

MHFU and P3rd are pretty easy to get running online as long as you open the ports.

>>15042880

People have gotten online working with PPSSPP, though I've not done it myself. Emulators in general are going to be your only option for PC vidya by and large though.

>>15040965

if Kirin can be an elder dragon, arzuros can be a wyvern.

>>15044021

Kirin was a mistake.

>>15044037

The Kirin armor wasn't a mistake. Ever wonder why it looks so hot? They want you to promote genociding the Kelbidrome.

>>15044037

Doesn't male Kirin armor have assless chaps too?

Did anyone bother to do Arch tempered Kirin? i missed the event.

I did do Arch tempered Vaal with his 4x cancer gas with randoms once, then solo after i realized i don't need a 25 minute "muh mantle ran out" cartfest.

>See HBG and GS guy in my session in a Arch Haazak quest at the 23min mark. i finished my solo in 11 mins. (Small Haazak)

>Post Arch Haazak and start the quest.

>2 other people from the session join

>EZ-mode mantle fags

>Suddely realize im alone with Haazak after it changed areas

>HBG and GS fag have left me to wait for those fucking EZ mode mantles to recharge.

>Lance hard to keep HP up due to cancer gas being everywhere.

>Solid 3 minutes of solo Haazak action

>HBG and GS fag come running into a facefull of Haazak tackle, but wearing their EZ-mode mantles.

>HBG guy carts twice then followed by GS guy (Felyne Insurance) and we sleepbomb it.

The fuckers had the audacity to send friend requests.

The Temporal mantle is a fucking mistake and everyones running it, then carting when it runs out like they forgot how to play.

>>15050411

>Did anyone bother to do Arch tempered Kirin?

I haven't even booted World up since the end of the Dante event. I just don't feel any desire to play it at all.

>>15050473

I suppose the good news is shitters will play World now. The bad news is World makes a fuck ton of money. So Generations Ultimate will be the last real Monster Hunter game for the west as we'll get World Ultimate and World 2 from now on.

>>15050473

>>15050606

This was pretty much guaranteed to happen considering how World was designed. Considering it's success, we're going to see a Persona 3 scenario where the new style stays popular and profitable, or a Lords of Shadow scenario where it's a flash in the pan and the entire franchise dies afterward the sequel bombs. Either way, Monster Hunter is probably dead and buried at this point.

>>15050800

Monster Hunter lives on, its you grumptards that will die out.

>>15052105

In the Persona 3 scenario, the brand name Monster Hunter will live on. In the Lords of Shadow scenario… well, we'd get the name living on in Erotic Violence pachinko machines.

Since my waifu died on permadeath run I went back to charge blade with gen. I'll try insect glaive again when I make a new file for MonHun4U.

Long story short: Insect glaive takes a lot of capital to set up in regards to nectar/jelly. If you screw up on the kinsect you want to make then tough shit, you're forging another glaive.

Oh, permadeath run rules are as follows:

-Limit one play per quest. No replaying quests for farming materials.

-Faint once or fail/abandon a quest then game over and the hunter is retired. Save data cannot be re-used. It must be overwritten.

-Gathering quests can take as long as you want to restock consumeables but hunting/capture quests are restricted to no more than 25 minutes max. Exception to time limit is Elder Dragon fights. If a hunt takes more than 25 minutes than you built your character and gear wrong and you deserve to start over.

-[Optional] No palicos/Shakalakas allowed unless required. If option is allowed only one palico/Shakalaka can join you per quest. Limited to hiring one palico per class including the starter. No DLC palicos. For 4U only the ace is allowed.

-[Gen only] No palicos allowed on prowler quests. You ARE the palico.

>>15050411

>everyones running it, then carting when it runs out like they forgot how to play

You mean the thing that people were saying was going to happen is happening?

Color me shocked

>>15054005

Kudos to you for actually attempting that. How long did your run last?

Any pictures of your MH Waifu?

>>15055768

Those predictions were quite hit and miss, so yeah, some people won't see it coming.

>>15050473

>I checked gaymefaqs out of boredom and people were suggesting that the fight is not a race and that you should just wait for your mantles to recharge if you wanna win.

Jesus fucking christ i need to get my last 8 gold crowns and drop this game.

>>15050606

Numbers seem kinda low on the player count now and the Behemoth DLC probably isn't going to stop the decline either.

Capcom better drop Metal Raths at some point as i will come back for my favourite Golden Queen but thats probably never going to happen.

I forgot to mention I made it past 1* hub quests too with waifu run.

>>15064220

You think it's the fundamentals of World overall that are making people leave? I know the tech can be salvaged for a potato standard PC with smaller hunting grounds in favor of refined monster AI.

I think the biggest flaw of World from what I've read so far is the lack of discovery and eureka moments when fighting monsters. The numbers telling you damage values, free potions, mantles, literally almost every information you need to kill monster quickly is handed to you. And if it isn't then monsters derp to let you kill them more often than not. Intentional design or not this is a flaw that has yet to be fixed.

I also liked negative skills with armor. If you wear a monster's hide you should have it's weaknesses too. It seems the game is built around not taking risks and making you feel safe. I don't want to feel safe. I want to be punished for high risk mistakes and rewarded when those risks pay off. Hunting arts in Gen might seem like a crutch when pulled off successfully. However successfully executed hunting arts is the difference between a hunt lasting 15 minutes and 45 minutes.

>>15063487

/v/ and their aras, all's right with the world.

>>15065681

>I know the tech can be salvaged for a potato standard PC with smaller hunting grounds in favor of refined monster AI.

How? Any sources on this? It's feels good to imagine that is possible since a few of Capcom's games are moddable e.g. RE4 but I want a confirmation on this.

>>15068074

I don't have sources. It's only a hunch. If Capcom is porting World to PC and with how huge Monster Hunter is in Japan then they would be full on retarded to not consider having their game's settings modular enough to run on Nip's potato PCs. They've had experience with this for that MonHun game in China running on Unreal 3. Spoilered for autism.

Keep in mind when I say "tech", I mean things like dynamic weather, seamless loading areas, lighting, etc. Not game design decisions like glow flies or damage numbers.

Also, depending of the sales of Generations Ultimate for Switch the tech for World can be re-tooled for Switch. Switch is the most PC-like console Nintendo produced in architecture since the Gamecube. Granted because the Switch is a handheld first and a literal tablet the textures and models will have to take a huge downgrade. Plus the hunting grounds will have to be much smaller to use World's changing weather and big monster AI without loading screen. If you want stable 60 FPS the artstyle will have to change and you'll need dynamic resolution. So the game will look more like a detailed painting than photo realistic. And I'll take painted 2D waifus over whatever the hell that 3D potato thing is suppose to be.

So fundamentally with the handheld nature of the Switch MonHun would need to be a completely new game re-using World's "tech". Most of the work is technically done. But to test if the tech can be compatible with Switch I say let's remake the Forest and Hills. This time we fill in all the entire map. First by connecting the main zones with paths. Then filling the empty spaces between zones. Any zone that isn't unpassable foliage, rushing water, or an unclimbable surface can be an entirely new area to explore off of the beaten path.

So returning players to the Forest and Hills will discover new areas they couldn't explore before and possibly new shortcuts and hiding spots. Smoke bombs will be useful for once since there's no more loading screen between areas. And monsters will have new paths and ambush spots to use which makes the same old place feel new again. And it's technically the same size as it ever was. It only feels bigger because the area is more open. There's still only one base camp with a limited supply box, a delivery box, a cot, and maybe a campfire to heat leftover canteen meals on marathon hunts for the next day.

Ideally I would have both climbing and swimming. You can climb any tree and harvest berries. Also you will need smoke bombs, or Ivy and a Torch to harvest honey from living bee hives from now on or else you'll get stung to death. And you can swim and hide in the river and ponds as well. Which brings new invasive Leviathans to the Forest and Hills.

TL;DR; If Capcom is smart then MonHun World's tech can be re-tooled for a system like the Nintendo Switch to make old hunting grounds "new" by filling the gaps betwern zones instead of having loading areas. With a few tweaks to how you engage and flee monsters with hiding spots and smoke bombs Monster Hunter core combat can pretty much stay mostly the same with the hunter being vulnerable and needing to out wit and out skill the monster.

Also combine climbing/mounting with swimming. We have target cam and two analog sticks now.

>>15068390

>They've had experience with this for that MonHun game in China running on Unreal 3.

I don't think they actually have any direct involvement with Online, it's just them selling the brand name out.

>the Switch is a handheld first

If it was a handheld first, the controllers wouldn't detach, it'd have a decent battery life, and would fit in your pocket. It's a home console first and foremost.

>>15068413

>the controllers wouldn't detach

They are detachable to be replaceable so that when you burn the rubber on one button you don't have to buy a completely new system.

>>15068413

Switch is a console first in the west. In Japan, pretty sure Switch is a handheld first because they're selling Switches on their own now. Shit battery life is expected with this kind of hardware until battery technology improves or we get software solutions to conserve battery.

>>15068439

Controllers are detatchable to patent and make money. Also as a side effect to drain the main unit's battery life more. I play Switch more in tabletop mode than handheld with joycons detatched/pro controller. Airplane mode in options menu can let you enable bluetooth only to save power. Doesn't help much.

>>15068439

Then you just buy a new piece of rubber, though damned if I know how you'd mistreat it enough for it to get that bad in the first place.

>>15068476

>In Japan, pretty sure Switch is a handheld first

Definitely the other way around - it's doing well for a TV console, but it's definitely not doing handheld tier.

>>15068598

>though damned if I know how you'd mistreat it enough for it to get that bad in the first place

You're not exactly playing with high end parts. Modern controllers are barely a step above chink shit in terms of durability.

Anyone have a Japanese copy for XX on Switch? How do hunting arts work on that?

I'm guessing mobility is key here unless I can tank the hits witj my shield. I like to use a lance but I might switch to longsword.

Speaking of lance, gunlance is a guilty pleasure weapon of mine. I want to use it more but it's inefficient. How to buff it without hunting arts?

>>15069015

>I'm guessing mobility is key here

not really

You can dodge most of its attacks by a little bit of shifting. It has very obvious tells and a really predictable attack pattern.

P3rd Zinogre doesn't even have the "Fuck you get stunned" charge AOE stomps either.

A question for those of you who've dipped your toes into World: did they change anything about how the Switch Axe works compared to Gen? I've been having a lot of fun with Swaxe in both 3U and Gen, but for a weapon that relies on dodging to avoid damage it really seems to have mobility problems. It's like its attacks have some kind of ridiculously long wind-down where you have to just stand there stock still for a full second before the game will register any directional input. The only way to not deal with the wind-down is to dodge the instant your attack finishes, but all that does is this gay little side-hop that absolutely will not get you out of the way of an attack from anything larger than Great Jaggi. It's the only cloud that's been raining on my Swaxe parade, and I'm curious if it's been changed.

>>15069015

Zinogre is one of those monsters that kicks your ass the first couple times you fight it, but once you learn his telegraphs and timings he gets really easy to manage. You'll get the hang of it.

>>15072573

Fucking strayans make me want to hunt in the outback tonight.

>>15070523

Switch axes Dodge is fine as it is. It has enough iframes to go through any bullshit tail swipe and little enough recovery that you can press on the offensive immediately. If you have problems with the dodges you could switch to adept or brave or get evade distance skill or just git gud

>>15070523

3u G vet.

What I like to do to avoid a lot of cheese is morph into axe mode and just walk, not evade, out of a lot of attacks. It takes a lot of time to learn where the hitboxes are. I understand the frustration. Morphing into axe mode for mobility during monster rages and morph in and out sword for hit and run with a low sword gauge to chip as much damage as you can saved my ass more often than not. You'll learn quickly in G-rank that a full sword gague is practically impossible to keep unless the monster topples or tires. Don't be tempted to recharge your axe unless you know you're safe. And don't use explosive finishers unless the monster is helpless. And try not to use explosive finishers at all unless you have a status phial or an elemental phial with a status effect.

>>15070523

They added a gay mount attack (not a true mount) for your phial discharge that screws you over 90% of the time.

They also had to add earplugs lvl4 and up the damage (for that mount attack) in a patch due to the Vanilla damage being not worth eating shit for. SA felt disappointing so i dropped it and went SNS and GS.

>It feels slower than 4U's SA

>Seems to sheath faster.

>Forward roll is gone after an attack inn sword mode, you get a shitty one step hop.

>Max power increases from using sword mode is a nice touch.

Use Evade extender on SA and always sidestep or roll after a combo when the monster isn't down. Be evasive and move before you get hit.

Its not the same SA you knew and loved be prepared to get used to its speed and lack of forward roll.

>>15072733

I really should just look up where the iframes are in each dodge. I've experimented with my timing and it just seems like no matter how early or late I start my dodge, I end up eating shit anyway. In 3U or with Guild style, obviously. I like Adept style's concept, but the super-dodge is way too forgiving about timing. There have been a lot of occasions where I definitely fucked my timing and it carried me through the attack anyway.

>>15073626

>evade +1 for extra distance

I will give that a try.

>>15073862

>walking out of attacks

This sounds difficult, but rewarding.

Otherwise, I've just naturally been playing like you suggest, sticking mostly with axe mode for mobility and swapping in-and-out of sword mode to squeeze out some extra damage (particularly in Gen, thanks to the extra morph attacks that were added). Playing Swaxe like this just feels great, too. Shitters who abuse Artes to cheese sword mode don't know what they're missing.

>>15074581

Keep in mind axe mode can only get you so far. You're going to have to rely on sword mode more often than not because sword mode is the majority of your damage. There's an horizontal swing after side stepping in style that's better suited to morph back into axe after dodging in sword. Even then, don't be afraid to free morph when you have the safety to do so. Axe openers in G rank, especially against pre-Tri monsters, will leave you open to attack. So it's better to unsheathe in sword mode, or already be in sword and roll in to quick X slash, then roll out, roll in, vertical, horizontal, morph slash to axe, casually walk around hitbox as you X+A or Start to upper swings. Granted 4u/X adds more morph slashes to compensate for the pre-Tri monster attack patterns. And in gen art abuse is necessary for speed running hypers.

The difference between a shitter and a true axeman is that an axeman never sheathes with a monster around. You sheathe only to use bombs, traps, or whetstones. Pros never get hit so they never use potions. I'm trying to get there.

I'm having too much fun with charge blade this run. I could pick sword and shield to learn hitboxes better but charge blade seems to tickle my fancy. Punishing enough for me to lose big on mistakes but a great weapon to stay close to monster attacks with to find graze spots.

>>15074581

No evade +1 and evade extender are separate skills sorry for my poor clarity on that.

>>15074841

No problem, anon. I checked the skills in-game and found the distinction.

Bad news dudes. One of my GPU's burned out. My current processor is an Intel Core i5-3330 and I'm runnning one nVidia GTX 670. I had this PC before Intel went full Sarkeesian and backdoor CIA. Both GPU's were hand me downs. And I found out they were neglected and abused from overclocking. The GTX that burned out was a year older than this one, but who knows when this one will burn out.

Looking to upgrade to a single new GPU for $150-$200 in the future. Either way until I'm sure my PC works I'm not trusting it to run emulation.

Will Switch Generations suck?

>>15080601

Get XX for the 3DS if you thing the Switch version will suck. Not sure if paid online is confirmed.

And there's the confirmation.

>>15080707

If you don't want to pay $20 a year to play Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate online then import XX for the 3DS. Otherwise you're shit out of luck and have to fork over those shekels goy.

>>15080744

You seem to have me confused with someone that's boycotting Nintendo for making me pay for the cheapest subscription plan on Earth.

By comparison, Xbox Live is $20 a month. That's $240 you could spent on something else entirely. Whereas $20 a year for a Switch online subscription is the equivalent of $1.67 a month.

Get your fingers out of your ears.

>>15080780

>cheapest means its okay

Even if you aren't a shill you're still a retarded fucking faggot for taking the reddit stance of taking the brown pill.

Well it's as I feared. From now on you need to get past a console pay-wall to play any modern Monster Hunter game online regardless of platform. I can't wait to see Monster Hunter World Ultimate on PC use an online subscription service.

Can any of you with a 3DS dump these files from it?

https://citra-emu.org/wiki/dumping-system-archives-and-the-shared-fonts-from-a-3ds-console/

Need it for proper fonts on citra since the latest canary.

>>15080664

Give it a break and move on to other games for a bit. Eventually you'll feel the spark again and can go back to the older games since they're probably just going to keep making World sequels instead of more MonHun

>>15080763

>Paying a cent for something as worthless as multiplayer

It's absolutely better priced than the competition, but it's still wholly unnecessary and a waste of your money.

>>15081776

Leave the shill be. I don't think he's coming back. Just happy I get to own a shill today. I'll be retiring Generations soon and going back to 4u with a clean file. I prefer the voice for my waifu there anyway.

anyone playing MHXX on citra?

>>15086277

How is Citra doing? Haven't bothered with it since 3DS CFW is so thorough as is.

>>15094316

I've clocked in 300 hours in MHXX without much trouble. Works online too but there aren't many people playing.

>>15094384

I can imagine, by the time XX hit CFW and FreeShop were just too convenient so I don't think too many people have been concerned with Citra. I do hope it keeps improving though, god knows it's only a matter of time before the 3DS's servers go bye bye.

Bully any shitter who wants to play Generations Ultimate on Switch. They Citra or CFW XX or GTFO.

>>15104666

Meh. I got sweet trips. Worse comes to worse I'll hop on a VPN until blow shit up day is over.

When is World going to pull a 3U and suddenly become one of the best generations already?

I want to use World's mechanics in a fucking challenging fight. Give me G-Rank

>>15080874

>He says, while shilling 60 bucks to play world.

>>15080763

I HAVE NO ARGUMENT, SO I WILL TELL YOU TO KILL YOURSELF, BUT UHHH, PAYING 200 BUCKS A YEAR FOR MONSTER HUNTER WEST EDITION IS OKAY.

YOU FUCKING SHIIIIIIILLLLLL

>>15114762

I'm guessing it will be a few years before that happens.

How did you do against the tempered golden deviljho?

>>15114787

>>15114778

Settle down Pepe.

>>15114892

>>15114762

3U was also on 3DS. Of course if World was on a portable console or even a laptop then the game's fundamental designs in regards to parties and how they play would have to change not because of graphical limitations, but because any moment hunters can drop out of a party.

World built the foundation of a fully capable graphical console Monster Hunter, sure. That said I think the technology will be re-used to build an entirely new game before we see a 3U of World. Remember we had Monster Hunter Portable 3rd on PSP before Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on 3DS and HD on Wii U.

>>15115064

My money is on a Switch World-esque follow up.

Akin to portable 3rd. Appease the west with console G rank, and give the gooks a more traditional game with worlds updated mechanics.

>>15115233

I'm hoping for that too. I'm also hoping that game does get a western release. Don't expect MonHun Switch to be as big as World in regards to hunting ground size. I mentioned earlier in thread that recreating Forest and Hills in World's tech by filling in the space between areas with paths and new areas and have a new art style for 60fps would be a start. Aside from a few new mechanics like hiding spots and smoke bombs for the lack of loading screen the game plays mostly like classic Monster Hunter with tighter hitboxes, mounting, and swimming.

>>15115349

And no matter what happens paid online is going to suck. At least with a portable console there's always a LAN option.

>>15115349

>I'm also hoping that game does get a western release.

Considering aiming at the West is what resulted in World in the first place, I kind of hope not.

What's the worst thing in MH and why is it charm farming?

>>15121203

This might super casualize charms, but it'd be nice if charms could be these adorable little amulets or bracelets you can visibly see on your character. I like to have a little Kut-ku head shaped amulet. Also what if gem slots on armor is visible now and you can see the gems themselves?

World probably did this which is why World runs like dogshit.

>>15121651

This is also why new shortcuts will need to be made and discovered by hunters and monsters alike. And any area where a path is too long or open will become an entirely new hunting area. Also the maps themselves will most likely be edited to be smaller than they were originally concepted to be. And once you know the hunting ground inside out the hunting ground will seem smaller than you initially explored.

I don't have an easy answer for what to do when you cart and lost the monster. So far there's not a lot of tracking in Monster Hunter. Once you know the spawn location you're good to repeat, kill, and grind over and over again.

The most punishing part of the game is finding the monster you lost. I suppose we can make it easier to track monsters that you have lost visually instead of having to guess areas. You can spot almost any flying monster in the air. And you can certainly hear the monster's victory roars as you're being hauled to camp.

Other than that monsters still stomp, eat, drink, shit, bleed, and mark their territory. These can be game mechanics you can use to track monsters you lost without paintballs. When you're fresh on the trail of a wounded monster, you'll know.

And most monsters will still have a routine if you know their usual spots. In the end it comes down to good monster behavior and good level design. And if you can't make the magic of Forest and Hills work well with no loading screens then I guess we'll get Monster Shitter World 2 for PS5 and Windows 10.

It would be more surprising if this piece of shit didn't have it.

>>15129412

Denuvo is not optomization you cuckold. Looks like I'm not touching World with a 10 foot pole. I've decided I'm not getting a PS4 because Sony is being full retarded again. So until Denuvo gets removed guess I'm not playing World.

>>15129471

I wasn't talking about denuvo, I was saying that specwise, I should totally be able to run this, as I was expecting far worse from the system requirements

Monster hunter world on PC will have denuvo

>>15129470

What is wrong with you?

>Denuvo

>Artificially staggered DLC release

Anything else wrong with the PC version or is that it? For now

>>15129498

It's published by Capcom

I suppose in the meantime I can look into playing FU or XX solo via emulator. Or just look into another series similar to Monster Hunter and migrate to that.

I swear at this point if I'm not expecting Capcom to unfuck Monster Hunter. I can take matters into my own hands and mod the games myself if I want new content. Or make a competing franchise with my own IP with blackjack and hookers.

I just don't know what to look forward to with this series anymore unless through some miracle I worm myself into the dev team.

>>15129554

Cool now go ahead to reddit to play your new game.

>>15129580

Sounds good to me.

>>15129580

>>15129834

I gave them money for MHW and I'm going to give them money for DMCV too.

As long as they make fun and worthwhile games then they can have my money anytime.

>>15129554

>I played the MH series for years, but after Tri I was too poorfag to play any of the other games in the series, until now. Now, it's on PC.

But it's been on PC forever thanks to PCSX2 and PPSSPP, and I hear Citra's making progress on getting the 3DS titles working. Besides, the product releasing next month isn't Monster Hunter, it's World.

>>15130755

>Supporting (((localizations)))

>>15131108

If I had to guess, they're timing the releases this way to ensure that Generations U bombs as an excuse to claim that "Well people don't want classic Monster Hunter anymore, so we'll just keep making World and only World" so I doubt it.

>>15130755

I'm not sure why I even deluded myself into thinking they wouldn't use this garbage software. What's the fucking point of making it a Steam exclusive AND putting fucking denuvo on it? How fucking retarded have game publishers gotten? How many "lost sales" are they protecting from attempting to prevent piracy? Maybe 1000? If that?

>>15131218

>Steam exclusive

They're not doing a physical release? That's just begging for piracy then.

>>15131244

All I've seen so far is word of a Steam release, nothing about a physical copy edition. It's not like physical copies that need to be activated via steam hasn't been done before either

>>15131218

>getting hyped for World

The retard here is you.

>>15131151

Your explanation made sense.

You have more hours in MHW than me 210+ hours so we are both fools who should be laughed at and if your hands cramp up then I completely understand, but if you would have said that the 3ds games are shit due to their controls like one of my irl friends would say then thats downright retarded.

I hope you have fun with MHGU anon! I have a switch but I still wont buy that piece of shit because my hands are perfectly functional and I already have XX which I refuse to play any longer.

Other way around if anything, the only way to get hyped up for a game that is worse than almost every prior main series entry in the franchise would be if you hate fun.

>>15143654

I don't play FFXIV, what do you mean by "his ffxiv raid mechanics"?

Went back to 4U recently and man what a fucking mess that game is

>some monsters have no actual quests associated with them

>you have to grind out their guild quests using expeditions

>no point in grinding guild quest levels until end game as you cannot upgrade their tiers until you've actually unlocked the monster again for that tier

>Hammers are nerfed to the ground not only in hitzones but also weapon selection where you'll need to grind for materials to get serviceable ones that are worse than other weapons anyway

>end game grind is a diablo 2 esque lootfest with you needing to grind everything down to the quest itself

No wonder I dropped this

So is XX a good game? I didn't get very far in G Rank in 4U but I'm pretty bored with it and want to play a different game. Since MHW has denuvo and shit optimization and also shit game I won't be touching that.

>>15148842

XX is better than 4U but it only runs at 30FPS

>>15147504

He drops smaller meteors that stay on the ground them summons a giant meteor that covers the stage. You have hide behind the small meteor rocks to not die from the big one

He also has adds and tornados that track but those mechanics probably wont be in

>>15148842

If you play it Guild Style without using any Hunting Skills it's decent, but the beginning has a lot of bloat due to basically having you do four villages worth of stupid errand quests. Once you get to the XX content (Village High Rank and G Rank) it's better.

>>15148842

No. It did nothing to fix X's problems and then added it's own cluster fuck of problems.

>>15148895

>XX is better than 4U but it only runs at 30FPS

>Does every thing 4U did wrong but also does other extra things wrong.

>Also 30fps locked

Yes. Better.

>>15154787

>Does every thing 4U did wrong but also does other extra things wrong.

Let's be fair, it doesn't have Apex at least.

>>15154787

>Does every thing 4U did wrong

Doesn't have relics, apex, guild quests, everwood or shitty quest distribution

>>15154787

>>15155176

Oh and monsters aren't complete pushovers with pathetically low HP

Fatalis in 4U has around 10k HP while the weapons can do more damage than most stuff in XX.

That was disappoint. I finished Gen village key quests. The ending was the idolshit music video they played for one of the the Japanese trailer. And I know, I know.

>inb4 village quests

But seriously spoilers don't bother me at all. What did bother me is that a fucking trailer was the reward for beating village quests. Probably not as bad if you never saw the Japanese trailer but that's just lazy.

>>15161071

I don't recall it being used for a trailer before the game came out myself still, it's clearly a Bad End, and what Dinovalde and his compatriots were trying to protect us from

I'm probably going to hold out and try World. MHFU is a pain to play because it was on PSP and those camera controls suck ass.

>>15161948

The only thing consolefags were right about was having proper controllers.

>when you break chameleos horn and he cant fully cloak anymore

CANT FUCKING TELEPORT NOW CAN YOU FUCK? ENJOY YOUR SLOW LANDING ANIMATION

>>15161963

I really want to like MHFU but those controls break me. I love the premise, the weapons. Its probably going to be a bit too grindy and farmy for my taste as well. Gunlances are love, gunlances are life.

mhfu is too slow and easy, tried playing mh4u and jumping back to mhfu after

You can easily juggle 2 nargas in the same zone because of how slow they move

>>15162000

>Gunlances are love, gunlances are life

FU was the game where Gunlances were good before getting nerfed into the ground every successive game.

>>15161936

Whoever wrote the Bherna guild gal has a pure grudge against gamergate. She won't shut the fuck up about village PR and "git gud".

>>15162048

Yes, because you're an enabler. Now Capcom is going to ruin Monster Hunter with World's power fantasy instead of focusing on player's own growth in skill. Don't get me started on paid DLC.

>>15162064

They'll never rebuff gunlances will they?

>>15162064

Really? Shit, I was looking forward to using them in World.

>>15162074

Gunlances were got somewhat buffed in XX but everything else is so above them that they are still in bottom tier.

>>15162084

Theres nothing conclusive about weapon kill times in world so far but with no G rank I doubt you'll be crippling yourself.

>>15162064

I always found FU gunlances rather stiff compared to its later iterations, what makes you consider them the best?

>>15162112

their motion values and the damage they can do. It was basically a lance but with an attack that dealt fixed damage.

You could solo crimson fatalis with a gunlance.

>>15162110

The "I hit the attack button and big numbers came out of the monster" and the "wow that monster died super easy, I must be great at this" power fantasy.

>>15161936

>I kind of want to understand what the cute lolis are saying.

Then you don't want to play the English translation, because they made her speak in rhyme because lolsorandumb and naturally had to bullshit most of her dialogue to accommodate their faggotry. If you want cute loli talk, you're going to have to learn Japanese.

>>15161948

On the Vita or PPSSPP you can assign the camera to a stick.

>>15162000

>Its probably going to be a bit too grindy and farmy for my taste as well.

World's the grindiest game in the series - they introduce a retarded "tracking" mechanic where to unlock the next monster to hunt you have to go into random hunts and run around touching randomly generated environmental shit for no reason. It's the dumbest shit ever.

>>15162048

Do you like it over actual MonHun games though?

>>15162085

I thought gunlances were the tank weapon? Which is a shame since it gives off knightly vibes. Though there is prestige in being a force to be reckoned with, with a weaker weapon.

>>15162172

The last monster hunter game I played before world was on the ps1, which I did enjoy, but doesn't seem like a good frame of reference.

>>15162184

Monster Hunter didn't exist until the PS2 Anon

>>15162084

I cleared every mission in the game with a gunlance, bar arena, challenges and the two arch tempered bosses.

It's viable.

>>15162180

Gunlance is a tank weapon in X/XX if by tank weapon you mean a horrible weapon that deals no damage in a game that's exclusively dps based (horn increases other people's dps while making yours so low you rival the almightly gunlance)

On the flip side lance in X/XX is absurdly overpowered due to them deciding a random move should have an absurdly high MV.

>>15162184

Monster Hunter has been shit ever since it left the magnavox oddysey.

>>15017617

>defending assfaggot playstyle.

fellate a gun.

>>15163029

MH wasn't even good in the original arcade release. The whole series is a meme.

>>15162048

I've been liking world too, but I miss how the old games actually made you care about what you were doing. You never get to feel the pressure of playing a quest where you aren't fully stocked or you forgot to eat.

Or with GS, in older games you had to predict the monster and very carefully position yourself for charges in order to get anything done but in World, you can just shoulder tackle your way out of a missed charge and through almost any attack.

The linebacker GS playstyle is fun as hell though

>>15163620

>arcade

>original

Maybe for vidya, but if you genuinely forgot the kickass tabletop RPG that started it all, you're a fucking faggot.

>I've been liking world too, but I miss how the old games actually made you care about what you were doing. You never get to feel the pressure of playing a quest where you aren't fully stocked or you forgot to eat.

>Or with GS, in older games you had to predict the monster and very carefully position yourself for charges in order to get anything done but in World, you can just shoulder tackle your way out of a missed charge and through almost any attack.

These are pretty large parts of why I couldn't like World at all. It might've been able to work if they hadn't made it clear it was replacing Monster Hunter; I think I might've been able to at least appreciate it as a standalone IP though it still would've been too easy.

>>15163620

>The linebacker GS playstyle is fun as hell though

This is the sort of stuff that would have been fun for styles, instead of the half assed shit X pulled where you just lose a few attacks but get super evades or easy mounts and every weapon gets basically the same thing. Give each weapon one traditional style, and one style that adds a few things that change it, and balance them so that they're roughly on par with each other. They could even reuse some of the brave mode changes some weapons got, since those were usually pretty fun, like the charge attack combos on Hammer, or the more stationary and less mobile playstyle for Bow (which would pair great with the dragon piercer), or SnS's insane mobility on the constant jumping attacks. Styles didn't need dumb gimmicks forced onto every single weapon, I'd have much rather seen a single unique style tailored to each weapon individually than each weapon getting 5 styles each with a one-size-fits-all gimmick. Brave style attempted something like this but then they decided to make brave mode stupidly OP on most weapons, and brave stance was quite possibly the biggest mistake in all of XX. But this will never happen because the first attempt at adding styles was such a pile of shit and they'll never bother trying to overhaul it. Just like how we'll probably never see underwater combat again.

>>15164116

>implying anyone liked the shitty tabletop

It raped the lore that the novels spent years building up, just to appeal to obese neckbeards in a failed attempt to capture the D&D audience. No one even considers that garbage canon anymore.

>>15166673

>Not knowing that the tabletop eschewed the extraneous crap the novels did to stick to the original theatrical stage play

Fucking summerfags, I swear to God.

Anyone play homebrew tabletop Monster Hunter?

Standard Rule Set is fun but sometimes I like to bullshit with a theme. One campaign we had Monster Riders where we rode Wyverns to fight giant alien robots. Shit was rad yo.

>>15166803

So it was EDF combined with Monster Hunter?

>>15166819

Fuck yeah it was!

>>15166803

No joke, there was a MonHun clone on the DS where you fought Ultraman kaijuu. It was pretty awkwardly implemented, but I wish it'd taken off and gotten sequels to refine it further.

>>15167224

Got the name of the game? Because that sounds fun as fuck.

>>15168022

Kaijuu Busters, and it had a "G" type rerelease called Kaijuu Busters Powered. Here's the PV for the latter.

>Thoughts?

generic trash that shouldn't even be considered.

I assume he thinks it's generic because its moveset is mostly copied from Lance and SA. The SA style moves would work if it was a glaive of some sort, but we already have IG. I've wanted something similar to Lance and Gunlance without a shield for a while, and a mini handheld dragonator is a pretty appealing concept. "extra damage if only the tip touches" reminds me of the gimmick halberds had in one of the Dark Souls games, where they'd do less damage if you hit with the shaft, so it made them much more fun and challenging to use than the games other polearms because you'd need to learn the positioning for each individual halberd and try to maintain an ideal distance when attacking.

I want a ball-and-chain or something like that, something bulky that can be thrown and retracted. It'd have longer range than most blademaster weapons, bridging the gap between BM and Gunner, but also be slow as fuck to compensate for still having BM defense. Its main combo could be a series of slow swipe from side to side, chaining indefinitely, with hitting the other attack button ending the combo by swinging the weapon behind the hunter and then overhead in a finisher smash. It'd also have an attack where you spin around caber toss style (like duramboros), dealing damage to any monster the ball hits, and tripping any hunters either the ball or chain hit. Then you could either cancel the spin or lose balance for spinning too long, and get a long recovery animation like Hammer gets on its spin attack either way. Or, you can release the ball and send it flying for a ranged attack, that can do increased damage based on how many times you spun and has huge damage output at max charge and in critical distance, but is also kind of slow and difficult to hit. If the ball hits a monster as its being retracted after the toss, it'll do some damage too. You could also adjust the chain length, maybe 3 settings available, which will change how far out the ball will be for your normal attacks and your spin. Since only the ball does any damage, and the chain does nothing but trip other hunters, you'd need to be continually adjusting your chain length during the battle based on how far away the monster was and how close you were to other hunters.

Last thread I mentioned double spear for a standard spear weapon and Shell Sling for ball and chain.

Double spear has two heads, a broad head and a javelin head. You alternate attacks with broad and javelin heads with X and A respectively if you want to thrust or sweep. You guard with R. When you want to "separate" the spear you press X+A. You lose the guard but now you can hold R to aim the javelin head and throw with A. You press X to thrust broadhead solo. Press X+A to fuse the spear back together.

The spears are connected by a rope line that tether each other. When you land the javelin dart you can pull it out and throw it again with A. Or you can tether around on the monster with your rope line to swing for extra monentum and stronger broadhead attacks. Maybe entangle the monster with your line. Or you can press X+A with the javelin still attatched to the monster and "launch" yourself up for an aerial attack similar to insect glaive's pole vault.

Shell sling is a ball and chain ranged weapon that loads "concussive bullets" you throw at monsters that explode upon impact dealing impact damage. Closest thing to a canon without bringing a canon. The bullets use coatings like the bow via X+A. Unlike the bow you have to manually load each bullet with A before winding up with X and releasing to throw. You have a slow underhand swing moving and a fast over head swing. As your swinging the sling case monsters that come into contact take minor impact damage. But if the case is loaded the bullet blows in your face and you take damage and get knocked over.

>On the off chance you aren't shitposting, generic how?

All of its moves are derivative instead of standing out on its own.

>and wanted to see if I could run 4U at 60fps

unless you have an overclocked 8700k you probably can't, at least not in the main canary builds

Here is a build with frameskip hacks and a speedhack to run 4U and XX faster

Heres a link for 4U

https://mega.nz/#!Ra4zTJLL!PGYKdfA5RvR0covBZ9QQz_-wrsawbTe939YiuCXAUkI

Do I get Generations Ultimate or Worlds? plus I dont know if there is anyone willing to play on the switch

>>15179067

Non-localized XX is the best choice of those, but honestly, just stick to FU, P3, 3G, or 4U.

>>15179234

as long as Zinogre is in it Im happy

>>15179240

Then you definitely don't want World

>>15050411

Don't really need to wait out mantle recharge to deal with the aids gas. You just need health booster to out-sustain the effuvium. In a team with 4 players you should be able to keep one up pretty much constantly. Or you can go 3 health boosters + 1 affinity booster for the dank DPS so the fight is a minute or two shorter. A bugstickfag with a kinsect that has heal dust is pretty nice too. The rest is just dealing with Vaal's slow, and easily telegraphed attacks while healing through the DoTs.

World is trash

>>15184579

>51 monsters total

Are you counting small ones and shit? Because I think at the moment the large monster count is at 33.

>What went so wrong?

The same thing that went wrong with New Gundam Breaker - they built this one from square one with the idea of selling it to the Westerners.

>>15185074

Yeah, I was counting the small shit. Still, even if you include the smallfry, World is missing over 20 monsters, compared to 3U, and a mental 53 monsters compared to 4U.

>>15184579

You forgot a big one

>Time locked and gated hunts

>>15184579

>all these flaws

>never see anyone mention that hitting the monster sounds atrocious

what the fuck is up with the "kutunk-cshh" sound?

i honestly dropped any interest in the game when i heard that.

>>15186711

>exploding chicken

<when its gimmick is the DOOT

>>15177811

You got a 3DS system archive I could use?

How boy. It might be fatigue or it may be because I'm encountering monsters I never faced before in vanilla Gen but I'm really starting to see some bullshit. It's probably fatigue because I'm hunting materials to build at least a variety of charge blades for late game.

Learning hitboxes are going to be a pain. And I know I have to relearn everything if I pick up FU.

>>15187068

Get it from emulation gametech wili

>>15189164

I already had a user folder, and it works for other builds of citra, but when I use it with your build, the emulator crashes.

>>15191710

try a clean run then

So we've had underwater in 3rd generation, then viruses in 4th - if Capcom does make an actual Monster Hunter 5, what stupid gimmick will it try to introduce that will flop terribly?

>>15207996

Fuck my life.

>>15208048

Shut up Goy.

>>15207996

anyone have event quest data for MH4U for citra?
