Hunt monsters, that is the entire point of the game, well and autistically crafting armor at endgame but you'll get there later. For weapons it is all about what is fun for you. Each weapon has strengths and weaknesses but they are all viable. Try each one out to see what is enjoyable for you. Early on you may want to focus on 1-2 weapons to cut down on farming for materials, but that is up to you.
Lance, Greatsword and Hunting Horn are objectly the most fun weapons.

why what's wrong with it?
I tried Sword/Shield Greatswords and Lance and didn't like the short range of the sword, how clunky the greatsword was and the lack of rolling with the lance
I tried the Guns and kinda liked them, but don't want to keep shelling out for ammo atm
>>255594810
It gets used a lot and newbies have a habit of tripping over people with their attacks. It's a perfectly fine weapon if it's used correctly

>>255594810
Because tripping everyone when you are using the Spirit Combo not only is annoying, it will decrease your team overal DPS when the monster gets KO'ed or trapped and everyone goes ape shit.
Using it offline is perfectly fine, sure, but online? and fighting small monsters? hell no

>>255595503
I'm curious about this now. Longsword is one of the weapons I actually like using in MH. If you don't use your spirit combos, what else do you do in multiplayer? Is there a skill you can equip that prevents the tripping or..?
I cant wait for the Insect Glaive, but the Charge Axe looks the most satisfying to use especially with those charged attacks.
>>255595410
well it did
unless I managed to throw another one and not even notice I really can't explain why it happened

It takes two tranqs. to cap in Freedom Unite.

Last MH I played was Freedom Unite. I really am interested in getting into MH again, but since I heard that 4U was going to be released relatively soon, I'm holding off until that comes out.
>>255596109
Well seeings as 4U is like 7 months away you should just get MH3U and have fun with it and get hyped for 4U with Online.
Im doing that right now.
>>255595674
No there isn't.
It's generally just better if you pick a different weapon for multiplayer.
Granted it might be possible with a large(er) monster with multiple hit points (Lao, Shen, Hermitaurs, Ceanataurs, etc.)Being a LS user I know both the ends, giving and receiving.
It hurts inside to know that I got to HR solely from using a LS and sometimes a bow.
>>255596109
MH3U has clunky underwater combat, 4U doesn't and also has two new super fun looking weapons, as well as fluid movement and more monster variety. 4U also has online functionality.
I suggest waiting for 4U just because Smash Bros is coming out soon and you'll be able to occupy yourself with that first.
>>255595674
You use your vertical attacks You have an infinit combo; use it X-X-A-X-X-A-etc. You only every use spirit guage attacks when there's a massive opening and you're not going to trip the shit out of people.
>>255596148
There's knowing discretion to not trip everyone who are also fighting the monster and knowing when and where you can get spirit combos off without fucking it up.
>>255595674
There are ways to avoid being tripped but unless you are playing with your friends you will most of the time stumble with players that wont give a damn about tactical positioning.
Large monsters allow LS users to position far from other players, but when you are fighting a Zinogre/Qurupeco/Narga or any medium to small sized monster the guy with the LS will trip everyone when using Spirit Combo

I remember some years ago, me and my friend were hunting Azure Lao in MHFU with end game gear; believe it or not, it never reached the gate, but not necause we killed it, it fucking turned around and started walking backward in the last segment. We didn't see how it happened because we used farcaster to get to the gate earlier, and after a while of waiting, we got back to check.

So "The entire monster"? Unless you're fighting something the size of Duramboros or Jhen, they will always be an extreme nuisance due to their attack arcs whenever using spirit combos and the fact that so many of them spam their X+A after every vertical, and it is wide as all shit. Even if you're focusing on the head, the radius of the swing is tremendous and is more prone to trip up everybody in the party than help.
>>255591617
I thought Hammers weren't long enough to hit Jhen's side?

Weapons I've tried:
>Sword and Shield
One of my favorite weapons. Takes a while to kill anything, but I love being able to attack swiftly and move around.
>Switchaxe
Second favorite. Everything dies so quickly.
>Hammer
I got to HR and then dropped it. It's a nice weapon, but I just can't get used to it properly. Whenever I'm not playing with my friends it's a mess. KOing monsters is really satisfying though.
>Dual Blades
Dropped almost instantly. I found them boring.
>Great Sword
Just like the hammer, satisfying but just not my cup of tea.
>Lance
Wasn't impressed, but I didn't really give it a chance. Maybe I'll reconsider someday.
>Hunting Horn
Just picked it up. I have the feeling that I won't use it for long, but who knows.
>>255603808
In MHp3rd you can shell charged shots if you press R+O. Charged shells can be chained without reloading.

>>255605490
Ooh, Thanks, I need to try this.
I love the combo they added in MHp3rd where in the end you slam the GL down and if you press shoot it empties all the ammo on it
Did anyone even like underwater combat? That's basically the only reason that made me skip 3U and love P3rd. I'm so glad it's not coming back in 4U

The one thing that makes underwater combat utter shit is the lack of any depth perception so it was hard to tell how close you were to a monster to attack it. Most underwater based monsters also dodged bowgun shots really easy because they don't stop moving and you're slow as shit in water.
If you moved faster in the water and there was a method is checking distance properly, it would be fine.
>>255606738

MH3G: Nibblesnarf is pretty awesome, I like the idea of a Turtle/Mudpuppy/catfish monster.

Monster Hunter really needs to focus on having more fleshed out, cooler areas with more variety and colour.

What the fuck does /mhg/ want?
>>255615316
>>255613869
sns or db, fast weapons in general are good for that.
>>255615321
Not really, the problem with gen 4 monsters is they pulled the shit where they made more new categories but only have 1 monster in them. Look at Snake Wyverns and Chelicerata. We don't want more Zinogre situations ffs.
>>255615153
all of the weapons can just be button mashed and still work just fine. the only skill is dodging, which can be trivialized with Evasion +1
>>255615585
Dicks and boobs. Safest choice ever.
So I never played Monster Hunter, but these Monsters look coolio
>>255615650
Lance, SnS, DB. Also Switch Axe if you use Phial Bursts and Frenzy Slashes often.
>>255615720
>which can be trivialized with Evasion +1
And many people still manage to fuck it up.
>>255615585
/mhg/ has gone full retard for the past week or so.
Not sure whats up.
Currently there is a flame war about some GS user shitting on DB users.

That wasn't fun.
>>255614967
This is bad advice depending on the gunlance type you're using. If it's Spread, then by all means do exactly that. For Long you really want to use shelling as combo extenders for poking, and to a lesser extent much the same for Normal, but with a greater focus on slamming and full bursting.
>>255616002
Yeah, I watched my friend do some high-rank missions and he turned it off when that Jurassic Park lookin motherfucker showed up, the one with the long Black hair and black anime eyes. Said he wasn't gonna deal with that shit today.
>>255615614
I played hammer up to early G-rank and never used super pound. Am I a bad hammer player?
Alright guys who has mhfu and as hoc party for ps3 cause I wanna play online with some peeps (started new game again for like 5th time want to do a guild only char)
>>255615796
Warning: Monster Hunter is not for the faint of heart nor the casual gamer.
It's one of the few games left in video games that requires effort and skill to accomplish anything.
If you want to start, I would recommend Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate as a good starter game.
>>255615321
I'm sorry, what? I remember everyone being hyped as shit about the new monsters in 4 because we're finally getting something that isn't dragons, cat-dragons, and punch dragons. Oh and also bears.

All it needs is common sense, patience and more attention than most games. Only the plebiest of casuals can't play this.

Also I found pellet shots on the peeko hbg and the peeko bow in general to both be hilariously effective. Pretty sure either his face is a magnet or has a fucking huge hitbox.
>>255616397
Generalizing is my mistake. To be precise, there is one individual who pops in to express his disdain in the new monsters.
Then again, there's Dara....
>>255616683
I was going to agree with you, but soloing G rank is a completely different beast that actually does require considerable skill and dedication. But multiplayer hunting is easy enough, yes.
>>255616683
>Implying that common sense, patience and a decent attention span isn't a skill in this generation
It pains me to look at the kids that are growing up these days.
>>255616683
That culminates in skill, anon.
You probably don't notice it because you've gitted gud.
>>255616845
Dara is the coolest shit ever. More games need enemies of that scale with the same amount of freedom.
>>255616683
I requires you to learn and apply what you've learnt without holding your hand the entire way. A lot of what you find and learn you have to find and learn actively yourself.
For some people, that's asking too much.
>>255616845
I've heard of him. What sentiment am I supposed to take away from your "Then again, there's Dara" statement?
Why is this game so boring.
I've been playing it for 6 hours and it's just feels like pushing a pointy rock up a hill.
When does it get fun
>>25561714950 hours
>>255617149
Which version are you playing?
>>255617149
Have you gotten out of 2star quests yet? Have you been trying all of the different weapon types? What LARGE monsters have you fought?
>>255617261
The first for the PS2
>>255617312
Oh.
Oh god, no. Don't do that to yourself.
Fucking shit, ow, goddamn no. Stop. Stop now. Stop.
Only play that if you are a super enthusiast fan of the series that wants to visit its roots. Otherwise it is extremely masochistic.
>>255616993
There was one toddler in my house who kept asking stupid questions to me while I was playing and the worst of all is why the monster isn't dead yet. He was so fucking annoying I had to complain to his father to shut him up.
>>255617143
Dara is infamous for stalling the fight with meteor showers and constant swallow attacks. That, and his Glaive outclasses everything because of blast attribute.
>>255616993
The post to end all posts. This right here.
>>255617312
There is your problem
Get MHFU for PSP. PPSSPP emulates it perfectly.
>>255617312
Are you fucking stupid?
>>255617312
Go play P3rd
Then FU, or 3U if you have a WiiU or 3DS
>>255617692
Honestly given his sentiment I'd suggest english-patched P3rd, or maybe Tri on Dolphin.
Slime is cool in theory, but ultimately cheap.
>>255598529
The only thing that gets me is the bit about the 5.2 modifier. The modifiers are artificial inflation of how much damage a weapon does and makes it harder to compare weapons. MHP3rd did it right where they got rid of it.
>>255617778
I gave my shakalakas slime attack, attack boost and bombardier.
Am I cool yet?
>>255617759
Tri on Dolphin, maybe
P3rd is ass
>>255617009
Not really, the fight is awfully boring. I mean it isn't as bad as every huge monster (excluding Jhen, that fight is fine)
They just need to do away with huge monsters that don't have gimmicks.
>>255617886
For us, because of how easy it is among other things. But it happens to be the softest entry in the series, and sometimes people need to be slowly coaxed in rather than jumping in headfirst
>>255617885

I meant aesthetically. He animates so nicely and the way its jaw shakes when it roars looks so cool.
>be Longswordsman

I am the 1%.
>>255617552
>>255617778
They really need to work on blast's mechanics and monster resistances to it. It should be a sidegrade to poison, I feel.
>>255618050
P3rd is no easier than Tri.
>>255618178
Tonfas handled blast alright until you start thinking of it's aftereffects
>>255618341
It is CONSIDERABLY easier than Tri though. Even with just the Greatsword or SnS, Great Jaggi dies a good 3 to 5 minutes earlier than it does in Tri, and this is the prevailing experience all throughout the game. Also pretty sure that's where the Barroth nerf started.
>>255618654
The Barrioths were nerfed based on Tri hunter reception.
>>255618654
Giving the beginner monster a less obnoxious amount of health means the whole game is easier? You sure about that m8?
>>255618341
Actually it is, alot easier in fact. The defense system is so screwed up that nothing can harm you except for a select few monsters. Raw damage was ruined and made more casual thanks to removing the class and elemental divider. Monsters stagger twice as fast as they did in MH3 and also exhaust slightly faster. The only fights I have ever even died once to in MHP3rd was Green Narga, Brute Tigrex, and Ukanlos. Not including event and custom quests.

>>255619370
Hammers are mad gay brah.
>>255616205
I dont get this image, what the arrow represent?
>>255619370
I don't like hammers.
Incidentally, I also don't like dwarves.
>>255619143
I did not say x means y, I said that the rest of the game received similar treatment. Please don't twist my words like that.
>>255618928
The Barroth/Barioth nerfs were too extreme, no matter what way you look at it. Barioth especially so since it went from an actual threat designed to trip up veteran hunters to a weak ass pussy cat that trips if you so much as sneeze at him. Hell, if you flash bomb him he doesn't even start leaping around the area anymore, he just sits still and takes a beating.
Barroth was done slightly better but honestly the extent he was nerfed to did a lot to throw away his title as the game's first wall.
>>255619370
Fuck your hammers.
Easy mode gay shit
>>255619387
Here, have a loliyamatsukami
>>255619616
It means "it gets better in this direction"
I even colour coded it to get the message across twice
>>255619187
>Raw damage was ruined and made more casual thanks to removing the class and elemental divider.
You mean it was made clearer as to what damage was actually done?
The damage formula had the artificial bullshit removed.
>>255619616
Longshot Gunlances are true gunlances since they demonstrate the actual gameplay very well.
Yes, Gunlances are multiplayer-unfriendly but that is easily remedied by uppercut -> shell. Doesn't work as much anymore in 4 unless you have a strong resentment towards Glaivers.
>>255619871
Artificial? No it was fucking retarded. weapons actually outclassed eachother because of it, like how HBG couldn't even compete with LBG in the game. The divider is absolutely needed.

BITCH NIGGA I CAN KNOCK OUT MORE PUSSIES THAT YOU COULD EVER WISH FOR!

Anyone who actively spams the jump attack deserves it. They are the kind of people who don't maintain their triple up at all times.

Blango Decimator w/ G-rank Diablos/Ratahalos armour
Probably Akantor. I love standing underneath him/left leg just letting rip with my LS watching him stumble again and again, remembering how difficult I first found him. (2nd is Chameleos for same reasoning[Chameleos+ESP=objective comlete)
Great Forest for me, one of the prettiest maps imo.
Only ever played MHFU btw (love it)
>>255620145
The very first thing that happens when calculating the damage a weapon does is to divide by that arbitrary number.
Previously, for example, a hammer might have a damage rating of 520, greatsword 480, lance 230 etc and a respective divider of 5.2, 4.8 and 2.3. So you hit a monster and what happens before anything else in the damage calculation is that hammer is divided by 5.2 down to 100, the greatsword by 4.8 down to 100 and the lance by 2.3 down to 100. MHP3rd simply removed this bullshit and labelled all the weapons with 100 damage.
>>255620440
Capcom made Glaive's sharpness mediocre to bad in order to encourage hunters to polevault often.
>>255619815
>>255620104
So spread GUNlance have more damage potential(using more shots than poking), long is for gunlance (poke shot poke shot) and normarl gunLANCE is for more poking and less gunning and have little damage but is more acceptable online?
>>255620931
Yep.
>>255620749
Are you kidding me? Have you even played MHP3rd or are we talking about different games? I know what the divider is. You can't deny how much shit staggered and died without blinking an eye. No amount of wiki pulled information is changing that.
>Favorite Weapon
At the moment swinging between HBG and GL. GUNS.
>Favorite Monster
Still low rank (got to the KILL LAGIACRUS quest), but either Qurupeco or Great Jaggi. Qurupeco is a cute annoying piece of shit, and killing so many G Jaggis has made me feel attuned to them. I only have to get the Jaggi Mask and I will finally BECOME a Jaggi.
>Favorite Zone
Still probs Moga Woods/Deserted Island. Although Tundra is good for Comfy.
>>255620995
Got it, thanks.
>>255620931
I don't remember exactly, but I think spread gets better bonuses to charged shots, long gets bonuses to Wyvern's Fire and normal gets a bonus on the full burst.Or I could have gotten them completely mixed up.
>>255620157
i think my favorite set ever was in mhp3rd
i used the black tigrex GS and armor with
Crit Draw
Punishing Draw
Focus
Enfeebler
Fast Sheathe
stunning and tiring monsters left and right. fun as fuckeven if p3rd was easy as shit anyway`
>>255621074
Are you fucking braindead? He isn't talking about how much health the monsters have, he's saying that the way that P3rd presented information was much better.
>>255621313
No it was still retarded because of how awful they got the base raw values wrong. Look back at HBG, they gave it the same raw damage of LBG. Stop being a fucking idiot and actually look at the raw values if you know the formula so much you blind wikia using idiot.
