I've looked at little into this game and it seems cool, but I need that little extra push. So /v/ what is your opinion to this game, or franchise in general. Let's also try to keep the shit posting to a minimum if we can. (I don't expect much I have realistic expectations of you.)
>>
>>320996696
This is recognized as the most accessible MH game, and it's really fun.
I put dozens of hours into it and I'm considering restarting my save.
>>
Get it, you will sink 300 hours minimum into it
the whole game works really well, you fight monsters to harvest their body parts to make insane anime weapons to fight bigger and scarier monsters. You have to learn each monster's attack patterns and what not,but once you do, it feels so good to preemptively dodge before they do that one move that takes out 3/4 of your hp

it's a goddamn amazing game

I've been told if you like souls games you would like this but from what I can tell there totally different the combat in this game seems complex how deep can it get I'm into that kind of shit
>>
>>320996696
Do I need a second stick for this or can I play it just fine on my 3ds xl
>>
>>320997587

the entire game is souls-esque boss battles. if you get a thrill in taking down big shit that hits hard then youll love monster hunter.

also be prepared to grind, but that's part of the appeal.
>>
>>320997587
Very deep when you factor in skills. A couple of skills can completely change the way you play a weapon. Each monster also has its own strategy to fight it. Try the demo if you already have a 3ds.
>>
>>320997843
This post is so fucking wrong it physically pains me. It is nothing like a Souls game, nor does the game require grinding to progress. You do have to grind to obtain good sets or gear, but the game is definitely doable based on what quests give you. There are always easy monsters that take very little time to obtain sets for effortlessly, and 4U has so many redundant quests that you could clownsuit just by playing the quests.

You can play it fine without the second stick, you just have to get used to using the target cam. Only reason to use a 2nd stick is if you want to try out gunning.

Only if you have the "new" 3DS.
>>
>>320997587
It's sorta like souls in the sense theres co-op against a big boss. Thats about where it ends.

Combat is a lot more rigid, making it a tougher than souls. However, every weapon is pretty well fleshed out.

The game has a ton of depth with armor combinations. Lot of neat tricks and its pretty fun with some bros. Damage isn't quite intuitive. Sharpness color adds a lot of damage to your weapon so you get shit where something has 2000 damage but blue sharpness but something with 1600 damage and purple sharpness. The purple sharpness tends to win out.

Game is GRIND though, so you better enjoy the combat. Thats really why you play, cause the combat is great. Kill shit, to make shit so you can kill more shit for 500 hours.
>>
If you like the type of gameplay it gives, you can sink hundreds of hours into it, if not, it gets frustrating fast.

Wail on a monster for 5-20 minutes, break parts, carve, get better materials, make better weapons, fight bigger monster, repeat ad infinitum

Not even once. You can control just fine by blind firing in the proper direction and getting good at aiming down the scope.

The nub is pretty garbage at most things, honestly. It's really only good for horizontal camera movement.

There's both, for the solo quests you have to do them alone, and for multiplayer you CAN do them solo, but more people help kill it faster because monsters have increased HP to compensate for more people wailing on them

it's a great game if you really get into the meat and potatos of it (and don't mind the repetitive nature of it)

i've tried all sorts of builds and they are all complete game changers on how you play

my most recent build involves abusing Evade +3 and Evade Extender while using a high affinity lance with critical status and poison resulting in very fast and reliable poison applications even after tolerances have maxed out on the monster.

as poison nerfs the passive aura effects many Elder Dragons have it can be quite handy. 9but i do plan on getting a blast status lance that i can switch out for if poison isn't needed for a fight)

>>320999104
It really depends on which game you are talking about. Some games have a few quests that are basically impossible to solo within the time limit, but the more recent titles like 3U/4U/X don't really have this. However, expect some pretty long solo battles for online quests when first starting out. >30 minutes easily for a few spongy monsters you aren't good at.

>tougher than souls.

>>320999179
I basically bought a 3DS for it, so yeah, go for it. The system has a fuck ton of other great games and because of work I got into MH4 about half year late, because I still had shit to do in MH3. It's a huge game and there's a lot of great monsters to fight. If you also have some friends you can play it with, instantly put a "10/10" on this one, worth buying console for, best fun I had next to Splatoon.
>>
>>320996696

It's my go-to game whenever I have a little break before I have to go to something. Just open up my 3DS and do a hunt. Whether it's a break at work or in between classes, a hunt is something quick enough to just pass the time. I've sunk maybe 500+ hours into it. If you're even slightly thinking about it, you'll probably enjoy it.

monster hunter is in no way a tougher game than any of the souls games, and I say this as someone with more time in monhun, it is however less fair, and its systems are magnitudes more convoluted

monhun is also less /fun/ unless you have at least underlying masochism for solo g rank and up
>>
>>320999719
I think she was "less fair" in mhfu cause of hit boxes. Its been a while since tri but she didn't seem horrible. It might be because she's the first large scale monster you come across that isn't derpy looking.

Git gud. You don't need Guts or an armor set specifically meant for something.

>>
>>320997587
honestly, the combat in souls is more like a fighting game than a souls game

While timing is king when it comes to souls combat, monster hunter puts a lot of weight behind positioning, aiming, distance, and timing. This gives you many more things to "git gud" at, and more room to grow.

I'm saying those aren't problems, you only think they are problems because they require a predictive approach to combat (keeping yourself out of positions where you get fucked) rather than just reacting to the attack when you see it coming. Those "problems" you list are just ways to punish you for not taking possible moves of the monster into account.

It's really fun, and is a series you can dump hundreds of hours into.
On the subject of difficulty though, MH isn't that insanely difficult for the most part. Late late end game is hard, but anything before that isn't that bad at all. There are a few small "walls" throughout the game, but considering the first big wall that people get is Pink Rathian, which is like 10-30 hours into the game. Even then, it might only take 1-3 tries at most.

Compared to Souls, where it's difficult at the start, and stays difficult throughout the game, MH starts easy and slowly ramps up the difficulty. Overall I think the Souls games are harder, but the hardest fights/monsters in MH are probably harder than the hardest in the Souls games. Then again it's hard to say, since in MH you can die multiple times before you fail a mission. Even if you're new it can still take like 20-40 hours before you fail a single mission.

The first time I played Dark Souls I got a Black Knight Halberd from one of the knights, upgraded it to +5 before Sen's Fortress because the game showers you with twinkling titanite, and proceeded to one-shot pretty much every single enemy in the game from that point on.

First time I played Dark Souls II I got the Demon mace from the birds at the beginning of the game, pumped my strength up to 25 so I could 2h it, and once again proceeded to basically one-shot every single enemy in the game.

The souls games are a fucking joke and the only thing that's "hard" about them is the shitty platforming sections and meme traps.

MH isn't a particularly hard game either since it stuffs 100000 healing items down your throat, but does end up being ultimately more difficult in the end. Not sure why the games are compared so much since they play NOTHING alike other than being ARPGs. Combat in the Souls games is ratshit terrible whereas combat in the MH games is the entire point.

>>321005187
what >>321005548 said. Souls games are easier cause of the amount of I-frames rolls get and the lack of having to commit attacks.
>>
>>321005771
Evasion 3 and Bushido don't exist, right?
>>
>>321005857
you still have to commit to attacks.

What is Bushido

>>321006136
you still have to commit to attacks.
sure, charge blade opens up when you can safely commit, and is a pretty OP weapon because of it, but that commitment still exists.
>>
>>321006295

>Press R to GP
>Commit
What?
>>
>>321005857
You have to commit to those things. You lose something for taking those. Whereas with Souls games, you typically just have the ability to roll all day with a bucket of I-frames.
>>
agree to disagree at this point
as a mh veteran and a souls player i think das is infinitely harder than mh

I think you have some sort of learning disability if you think that.
>>
>>321006538
speaking for myself, I'm not trying to say one is harder than the other, just that shrugging off parts of MH's difficult design as bullshit instead of difficult is the incorrect way of looking at it.
>>
>>321006658
opinions at this point
i solod everythiing in mh4u until gog, and only had to get help due to it being a hp sponge fight rather than a difficult one

why do you all act like you can roll anytime during an attack in souls when there is a recovery period, just like mh, where you can't act

saying you dont commit in souls is false
at least souls isn't "wait for boss to hit, hit boss when he is recovering, wait for other attack"

"Isn't" was a typo I presume
>>
>>321007043
Not him, but isn't that true?
I'm a GS player and every time I'm fighting a monster, I just wait for him to attack, run up and start charging and wait for him to turn to face me and hit him in the head.

The only bosses this doesn't work on are Dalamadur and Dahren Mohran
>>
>>321006950
The point is that Souls gives you a lot of invuln frames on rolls not the recovery. Watch a speed run of most souls games, it's usually a naked player with a club.

Animation lock isn't usually an issue in Souls games cause most shit you hit, dies right away. That is, if you know how weapons work in souls games.

Combining both of those gives the player a ton of power. So when you switch to MH where you typically have to aim to score damage and things don't die promptly. Those things are gonna feel like problems because you're used to the empowerment from Souls.
>>
>>321007334
to some extent, kinda. but there are plenty of times where you can't run up and attack after one of his attacks, and you need to charge up from the right angle to get a good attack off and not get fucked.
>>
>>321006950

That's the major GS playstyle true.

Using something like DS or SnS has you attacking constantly and sticking to the monster like glue since you are more focused around quantity of hits than pure damage. You still have to predict and react to attacks, but you don't back off and simply wait for an opening.
>>
>>321007334
You can do that, but it's not a big leap to predict where the monster will be and drop the GS on it's head. I'll admit it gets harder in multiplayer cause of how people space out.

That's HBG.

As for an actual answer, I'd prefer exploring and having fun with other weapons far more valuable than an extra minute.

I'd also like to add that fastest kill time doesnt really get you anything either.

>>321008158
>>321008228

If you're a god with the HBG like Mazereon or something yes, but GS is far more reliable because you're more likely to stay alive using it. It has everything you could want in a weapon.

Average GS user >>>>>> Average HBG
However,
Godly HBG user > Godly GS user

Not really. Just need to know when to pack up and get out of the way.

Though I might not be able to speak correctly of the "average" HBG'er since the crew I play with is pretty well versed on the whole procedure.
>>
>>321008897

I was more so referring to solo play, because it's much easier to measure a weapon's strengths and weaknesses when it's just you versus the monster. It is a fact that an average GS user will have a far easier time against nearly every monster in the game than an average HBG user.

Sure HBG gets better kill times, but not so much faster that it outclasses GS. GS is still a much more versatile weapon.

It can't play music that makes me stronger.
And yeah, HBG kill times are ridiculous. A group of friends and I went into the event Gog quest with 4 heavy bowguns that had the ability to use dragon shots in siege mode. It died in 3 minutes.
>>
>>321009446
Dozens of hours is a lot for me these days.
Plus I don't have any personal friends to play it with so the motivation is dependent on me.

What I said is true in group and solo.
A huge reason people die while using HBG is because they don't know when to let up or they start getting out of the way too late.

And personally I find the ranged weapons far more versatile than GS and most melee ones in general since a good gun can equip plenty of bullet types in order to attack at different ranges and weakpoints.
>>
>>321009452

HBG has always been that way in groups though, followed by DBs back when all you had to do was juice up (or bring 1 player with HH) and spam Devil Dance.

It's certainly the most OP weapon in the game, but there's nothing wrong with imbalance and taking advantage of it in a PvE game.

Only if you suck with it. Nothing wrong with using a popular weapon. That just means it's reliable, maybe too much.

Not exactly. If you're bad at the game it deals the most damage out of the other weapons, but only awful players will say the weapon is OP or anything. It's certainly not bad (It's great in solo play) but it's nowhere near the best weapons.
