I watched a video about why Capcom won't add new monster skeletons to World (video was a waste of time, embed related) and it actually got me thinking. It's the "new" World but there aren't any new skeletons, are there? In fact there are less than in the other games, even non G ones like 3rd. I know that they scrapped Lagiacrus because he would've been "too hard to implement" (even though he was almost finished) so is that maybe the reason why there's no Tigrex, Rajang or Daimyo?

The first game of the newest gens tend to have the least amount of monsters.
But why are there only 18 large monsters in MH Tri?
The monsters are varied and unique in that game but the monster count is still painfully pathetic.
And with muh next gen software why cant they add older monsters when they even managed to be on the fucking 3ds out of all consoles? I figured that it should have been a cakewalk with modern technology.

from what I remember lagiacrus was scrapped cause it's head and neck would act like the wigglers. But things like Fox wyverns shouldn't have that issue should they? That being said it'd still be a meh game overall even if it was added since monsters are still mostly too slow and they don't even fight in tunnels which is something that a MH without area transitions should fully take advantage of. Being forced to fight a monster in a narrow area might even make lance more popular

While I'm one to argue that HP bloat definitely does exist in XX, it's important to keep in mind that extends almost exclusively to hypers, which are still preferable to apex monsters, if only barely. The bigger issue with HP is that the difference between an optimised build and a decent progression build in XX is absolutely massive in terms of damage output, while in earlier games it wasn't quite as exacerbated. XX lagiacrus is a pretty decent challenge really, and one of the fairer monsters too, since it doesn't rely too much on attacks with near perfect tracking like a lot of new additions and retweaked old monsters do.

>higher pitched female
There's like 10~20 voices each game. Not only are there straight up man-tier barbarian voices, but there are a lot of levelled pitch female voices too. Are you sure you actually checked all the available voice and didn't just listen to the basic one before deciding to be a big gay and make exclusively male characters?
Incidentally I always try and make a MH娘 looking character, though they took out the voice type I normally use in gen 4 & X so I ended up making a few different types of characters for those two games.
As an aside and to no one in particular, swimming really was fine and was generally preferable to 4's take on verticality by implementing all those fucking slopes and half-assed vertical lengths on hitboxes leading to all sorts of bullshit (both for and against the player). If you played with a classic controller on tri you'd know there were dedicated buttons to swim directly down or up, which could be used out of an attack to dodge in those dircetions too, otherwise you'd know that in 3U/G holding forward after an attack would dodge up while backward would dodge down, and with the extension of N3DS you could still use the Zl/R to go directly up or down. Further to this, if you're not a woman with zero spacial awareness, it was very easy to manage your movement vector by positioning your hunter perpendicular to the camera and making use of small changes in camera angle to make right and left movement change depth. Frankly I'm inclined to believe that people whining about swimming that much were just mono-weapon tribabbies that were upset that SA plays differently underwater than it does on land. Swimming was far from ideal, but it wasn't half as bad as a lot of people make it out to be.
Alternatively maybe these people have never been underwater in their life and have no idea what being underwater feels like?

Didn't know there was one for Dos, and while I definitely rank fantranslations above official localizations, they do tend to stick with pre-established localization terms where applicable, and also have bad habits of getting overly creative (see Figure 1.) Again though, still better than official localizations (see Figure 2: for reference, the original text refers to "Ragnarok" which would be ラグナロック most likely in Katakana, vs. カンガルー for "Kangaroo" and I'm pretty sure even someone with zero Japanese knowledge would be able to tell the scribbles apart as different at a glance, so if you're getting paid to turn Japanese into English, you have precisely zero excuses for this shit.)

BotW is especially fun if you're a retard like me and never figure out how to upgrade armor until halfway through, because the armor to difficulty ratio is fucking exponential.
I mentioned it in old threads, but the more I play MHXX/MHGU the more I realize it was Monster Hunter's swan song. They brought back as many monsters, armors, NPC cameos, and villages as possible for one last world-tour. I think the developers knew from the very start that MHXX was going to be the end of Monster Hunter. They knew MHW was being worked on and they knew MHW was going to be the future, so MHXX was their one last chance to get on stage and give a bow before the curtains closed for good. That they managed to slip in an actual HD release of it on the Switch was a godsend.

because the maps are total dogshit tier. All the previous games built special arenas which made up the areas you fought the monster in. The removal of transitions and the effort to "seamlessly blend" everything together results in the utter smashing of the core base of the game and AI, which is why the AI is retarded and can't handle slightly odd ground.
Tri was experimenting with underwater combat and the new Brute Wyvern type, only bringing 3 classic monsters back while having a full menagerie of creatures you won't see anywhere else, and as for several of them, will never see again due to the lack of swimming.
Hell, Amatsu is basically just fighting Lagi when he's under water.

I really wasn't a big fan of Tri's monster pool, it's not even the size of it but I just don't like the early third generation monsters for multiple reasons. I disliked most the monsters designs because the majority look like child friendly versions of older ones monsters. Barroth is just a boring version of Diablos (which is ironic considering Diablos was one of the 3 returning great monsters), Qurupeco looks even dumber and less menacing than Kutku did, Gigginox is a less creepy Khezu and doesn't look like a penis, the new versions of Velociprey don't look like menacing raptors anymore instead they're just these goofy looking pseudo dinosaurs and Barioth is a sad excuse for Tigrex. Then there are monsters that I just don't think are fun to fight like Agnaktor or Caedus who is incredibly boring even by elder dragon standards, Royal Ludroth and poison Ludroth are alright I guess. I did however really like all of the elder Dragon's designs and my nigger Gobul was the only good underwater monster. Lagiacrus was also extremely cool but fighting him underwater sucked dick. The game did bring us Picklerex though, one of the best Monsters in the entire series, so there's that.

I have a feeling they could fix the new skill system if they reintroduced negative skills, seriously I miss those. Otherwise I agree with most of the points aside from loading times, combinations, env traps and the armor system, which I think is a better alternative to the old system but. Capcom didn't fully realize it, the framework is there but they're missing things like negative skills or more beta armors having totally different slot types than would otherwise be on the alpha type.

I just like the male armor, more. There's a few female sets (Nerscylla, Zamtrios, and Deviljho) that make me wish there was the option to just toggle genders in an option, somewhere, though. I'm overall pretty indifferent, though I will say playing as a guy does help me "self insert" more, I guess, since I view the girl avatar as a character I'm dressing up, though it's not like I can relate to a superhuman monster hunter, much, to begin with.
It all depends on who has the better designs, at the end of the day.

Nergigante was one of the biggest disappointments in the game, what with being the title monster, an Elder Dragon (the only one to be a title monster other than Kushala Daora, for that matter) and only teased at in Low Rank with the fight itself waiting until halfway through High Rank… and then being piss easy with attacks primarily focused straight forward and on top of that telegraphed to the point of triviality. Would've made a good tutorial monster in terms of encouraging new players to recognize that monsters often have cues to their attacks and only certain hit ranges on each attack, but as a title monster and an Elder Dragon? Huge let down.

MVs mainly, sort of the sharpness when unupgraded. Your SnS will have slower ttks than a GS even with that 20 raw difference.
that aside though, the deviant weapons generally are pretty bad, the Dreadqueen GS for example is fucking awful because it's poison on a fucking greatsword.

Dreadqueen's GS has natural purple sharpness and its a deviant weapon so your arts will charge faster which means with absolute readiness its infinite purple sharpness. This means no Sharpness+ skills and no Razor sharp, at least one of which is required for SnS.
Now onto more practical usage with Valfalk as an example.
Valfalk takes 25% water damage at most and takes 300 poison damage over 30 seconds when procced.
25% of your 35 water sword is around 9 points of water damage. To do 300 points in water damage you would need to attack around 30 attacks.

They're not meant to be equivalently strong to the time and effort it takes to grind out all the tickets you need for them compared to just regular weapons but they are definitely stronger, if only barely. The innate HA boost is the main draw so you can really spam those get out of fuck free card absolute-* skills.
>>15637773
Frankly the mh team seems to be very confused about how they want to balance statuses. First the make them random procs on hit in conjunction with the monster recovery rate so unless you're fairly lucky you might not ever see a status threshold get crossed using a slow hit rate weapon, but then they go and give GS innate status and element multipliers on the charge attacks. Do they want status to be a benefit to fast weapons or not?

This is false equivalence unless you're speed running and resetting for good RNG with a poison weapon for some reason because of threshold increases. Also 30 hits with SnS is much quicker than relying on a GS charge to randomly proc it's 1/3 poison puff, which you might still need to do a couple of times without RNG fucking you over, and if RNG is being favourable it's reasonably plausible to get 1 hit per second with SnS if you're playing well. Actually, you haven't even mentioned barufuck-u's poison thresholds at all so you're basically equating the weapons treating poison as constantly active. Poison is a pretty bad choice for GS but I guess it technically 'works', unlike GL, prowlers or hitting the monster anywhere with HH.

They want statuses to proc on gs at least this one damned time so you wont feel shafted, that's all.

You only need 3 procs from the GS to trigger the poison stat. You can get more than that while building up the brave meter.

I haven't been keeping track, but I remember it's first rerun was the month after it first launched, and I'm positive it's been rerun at least twice since. For context, World isn't even a year old yet.

Alright that isn't that bad guess. Problem is probably gonna be trying to find parties for it when she returns. Really hate how it is lobby based instead of SOS. Makes getting together groups a pain in the ass.

Holy shit what even is Rajang? What sort of person looked at the tigrex and thought "What if it was a laser-firing gorilla?" and then another person added "What if it could go super sayian?"
And then they high-fived, contacted their dark lord and proceeded to create the thing that will haunt my dreams. But I need blackfur for my gormew gloves.

Dodge its attacks and hit it til it dies.
Also applies with any other monster in the entire franchise.

In real Monster Hunter, hit the head. In World, hit anywhere really, it doesn't matter since he doesn't deflect your hits except when in rage mode, and that doesn't last too long.

No. Not even in Japan. What MHGU does offer is transferring your save data from MHG into it (but not the other way around).

So I've just started into this franchise with World. It seems to play a lot like Dragon's Dogma with Witcher 3's dodge-rolling (a.k.a. it's easy and I have to handicap myself to keep it fun most of the time).
1. What is G-rank and is it harder?
2. How do the other games compare to Dragons's Dogma for reference?
c604ca No.15726475
>>15726460
G-rank and shit is "harder" in the way that monster health and damage is jacked up to make you start from "0" again. Your previously max level gear becomes equivalent to starting gear. It's pure padding, but if you're enjoying the game it gives you more to do.

Monsters do gain new attacks and become faster and more aggressive, I don't know what c604ca is going on about.

If you've got a 3DS, 3G or 4G/U. If you have a PSP or can run PPSSPP, 2G/FU. Considering you're starting from World, you might even be best off going backwards one title at a time reverse chronologically.

4U is personally the best MH game to date, you can tell once you play the game for the first few hours, its a really good feeling.
Ignore Gen Ultimate and Gen, those are just shitty spinoffs with a bunch of broken mechanics and half assed frankenstein development, you can also tell how it is from the first few hours.
You can try them out after you beat the ones anon here >>15727497

Anyone who says g-rank is exclusively harder due to damage and health scaling + making new equip sets has probably been carried or only played g-rank in 3U or later meaning they could just take double cats and brute forcing their way through anything with enough grinding for gear. In a group of even 2 players (or 1 player and two decoys) you won't notice the massive differences in patterns that g-rank monsters get, including effectively higher speeds from increased aggression. Note that it isn't un-true that a portion of the g-rank difficulty is from HP and damage changes, but the damage changes (accounting for relative armor defence increases) are usually justified in reducing the amount of mistakes you can make before carting, hence providing a genuine change in difficulty owing to how monster hunter plays. The relative amount of HP difference isn't massive usually, but it is a bit unneccessary for normal play. If you're minmaxing though monsters typically die faster in higher ranks owing to more armor skill options than lower ranks.
I would be more than happy to see a monster hunter without having to go through three layers of mats, armors and weapons though, and have higher rank monsters just provide access to rare mats unobtainable at lower ranks with different armor sets only offering new skills rather than extra defense. Kind of like how the older games had two sets of low rank guild quests where you could only get rarer items (los wings, ian spikes, etc. not neccessarily just plates) from the 4* or higher quests.
>2. How do the other games compare to Dragons's Dogma for reference?
Monster hunter world is basically dragon's dogma 2, every other game plays totally different except for maybe XX if you go full abuse on styles/absolute-* HAs
>>15727651
>4U is personally the best MH game to date, you can tell once you play the game for the first few hours, its a really good feeling.
Not really sure what a 'good feeling' is but FU is the best all around, 3U has the best polish+difficulty, p3rd being a decent alternative, and gen 1 has the best aesthetic, especially if we're comparing the games to a low-ish fantasy like dragon's dogma. 4U probably resembles world the closest of any of the decent games, but its aesthetic is pretty trash and the core combat is much messier than 3U or FU due to slopes/ledges and stuff like e+3 or brainless CB guard point -> counter play. Not that CB is overpowered particularly in TA (because some one will mention it) but that in normal play the amount of damage to safety for playing CB is very high for a mainline game, and e+3 lance is probably worse than absolute-* HAs.
Shamelessly shilling this because I've only seen it posted once.

World plays differently, but that's a fucking wild exaggeration. You still have a fairly solid idea of what other Monster Hunter games will be like, they'll just be better.

I'd agree it's an exaggeration, but I wouldn't call it a wild one. They're in the same genre in the same way that something like God Eater or Toukiden is, but there's an essential difference at the core to the point where you can't know what playing Monster Hunter is actually like from playing World.
