Has any piratefags played this yet? Was it any good?
Yes, Yes.
7/10, 4G/U is a better game
>>339801035
It's Monster Hunter. If you've played Monster Hunter before, that's what this is.
I played it, it's OK but 4 was better
>>339801035
Yes.
No.
>tfw finally lost interest in MH
7 years, +3000 hours, killed every monster with every weapon multiple times.
I feel nothing anymore. It's over. Even MH gets old eventually.
>>339801630
You just got to skip a game. I felt the same way with MH4U but I tried playing MH3U and it was pretty fun again. I think it might be because of handheld fatigue though, it's just so much more fun to play on a big screen.
I'm just really not that interested in it after seeing how overpowered some of those skills and styles are.
>>339802712
Thankfully they're completely optional, so so you can go through the entire game not even knowing they exist.
>>339802886
yeah at least until my friend I'm hunting with is using all of it with no exceptions
>>339802956
If you're playing online then balance is already ruined, and should be the least of your issues.
>>339803031
I don't think so
There's lots of monster variety, no Apex and relic bullshit, Endgame is actually better than 4U's, no G Rank take it as you will, I personally think is better this way, advanced High Rank quests are harder than G Rank ones
Engine is better too, It runs better than 4U ran on the o3ds
Can you even pirate new 3ds games?
>>339803216
I was about to say, a lot of people seem to be saying the later high rank quests are effectively the "g rank". Is it pretty much that way in all but the name? I'm planning on getting it but I don't want to end up getting it and then a Generations G comes out or something.
>>339803306
Easily.
>>339803306
NO
EXCUSE
yes, even Rx commoners are fine
>>339803216
Relic BS?
Relics were pretty interesting end game content. If you only want to play one weapon there's only so much you can make. The relic system was a way for you to continue to upgrade shit and still feel like your character is progressing even after you've done everything.
It depends, if you like longsword, S&S, or switchaxe it's probably going to be the best fucking game in the series for you, otherwise it doesn't change much and is just another MH title.
As a S&S main, I loathe the fact that S&S is never going to be as good in future titles as it is in Generations.
>>339803625
But it's just spamming Arts all day, how is that fun?
>>339803216
>the game has no endgame
>Endgame is actually better
What did he mean by this?
>>339803401
Fire emblem fates? Smash bros?
>>339803458
What about dlc?
>>339803692
Wait, how do weapon arts work? There's no build up to use them? You just unleash them as much as you want and if they're OP as fuck then you get to cheese everything?
Doesn't sound like MH to me.
>>339803725
The endgame is immense. Like 200 hours. It's too much even for me.
By integrating G-rank into High rank they've actually extended the amount of content.
Consider this - G-rank means Low Rank and high rank is pointless, so that's 66% of the game's content turning obsolete. If there's only High Rank and Low Rank, only 50% of the content is pointless, and since this High Rank is waaaay bigger tahn usual, that's down to about 33%.
>>339803915
No, they build up for attacking and other actions
in aerial footstools boost gauge as well
in adept evade/perfect guard also boosts them
in striker taking hits boosts them as well
>>339804010
>200 hours
>immense
I've put more than 700 in 4U. AND I had a good incentive to.
What can X offer me after I've leveled up special permit quests to 10?
Your posts make no sense.
>>339801523
People praise 4, but 4 still had a lot of issues that were removed in X.
>>339804176
The only good thing X brought with it was that you can now hold A to gather repeatedly.
It not only introduced new issues, but even negated some of the improvements 4U had.
>>339803692
>But it's just spamming Arts all day
That isn't what I'm talking about at all.
S&S has recieved a new mechanic called blade oils that apply effects to your sword, allowing the S&S to increase it's crit rate, exhaustion damage, and it even allows S&S to reliably KO monsters, Arts are simply the icing on the cake and can't be spammed whatsoever, some Arts can only be used twice per fight due to charging time, and rarely are the Arts overpowered (Though there are some absurd arts)
Longsword has now received the ability to easily obtain red gauge in as little as thirty seconds thanks to Adept style, and can keep it during the entire fight without ever dropping from red, this is without even using Arts, which make keeping gauge up even easier.
None of the other weapons recieve buffs quite as substantial as this, but the longsword and S&S buffs make the weapons much more enjoyable to use, with absolutely no Art spamming required to fully enjoy these new buffs.
It's clear you haven't seen anything of the game, as you'd know the stronger Arts aren't spammable otherwise
Someone mind reminding me on relics and how to farm them? I have a quest at level 134 and was wondering if I should bother getting it up to level 140 to start gathering nodes or just start doing it now at 134? Just wondering if there's any real for getting good beshackled/lvl10s.
>>339801523
>>339801430
God damn, I thought I was the only one. Something feels off about the game, not sure what.
>>339804379
I've beaten the game and you're full of shit. Some arts charge in like three combos, especially with Striker, which is why I stuck with Guild and (L) arts so I wouldn't have to jam my thumb on the touchscreen to awesome every 10 seconds.
>>339804350
4 did NOT have the best weapon balance and I don't know why people keep saying that. With the introduction of CB and IG, they became overused and overpowered. Bows (especially) and Bowguns didn't seem all that useful with all the Apex and verticality in 4.
>>339804476
It's the P3rd team. 3U and 4U were both mainline titles.
Still don't know what those fags who gave it 7/10 are talking about, the new monsters are excellent, the gameplay is hardcore and you really shouldn't be worrying about anything else.
>>339804379
They'll probably leave the SnS coating in MH5.
>>339804524
>I wouldn't have to
>HAVE TO
You don't have to anyways, just stop. You're complaining about something totally optional, half the weapon arts are situational shit anyways, so you wouldn't spam them even if you could.
>>339804638
Sure, but X has even bigger gaps between weapon tiers.
And with the introduction of CB in MH4 no one used it. Until it got buffed in 4G. Even that only put it at the bottom of the top tier, or the top of the high tier, whichever you prefer. GS and HBG ran the show as usual, just with addition of IG this time. And if you think Bow was bad in 4U, well, you're just not really good with the weapon yourself.
>>339804661
So you claim that SnS is still top tier even if you don't spam arts, which was my original complaint? Or are you just desperately backtracking?
>>339804639
The monsters are the last thing I would complain about. The only monsters I don't like are Malfestio solely because of it's rage mode, Spearbreaker Daimyo because it gets headlocked even when you don't try to headlock it, and Black Los because it is cancer.
The flagships are all amazing and the final boss is a fun fight
>>339804936
Blazing Rathalos isn't cancer, it's more like an injection of cyanide.
>>339804985
It is seriously the only Deviant that is bad because of it's moveset. Even Spearbreaker Daimyo would have been fine if the head stagger gimmick was removed
>>339804865
Bows in 4U became an only raw power shot bow. There was no reason for trying out any other shot type because power shots always did more damage, and even if you could go for a spread build, monsters are never at ground level.
There is always some balancing when they release it in the west. What I do not like seeing is where a weapon's feature makes all the other features useless. I want Hammers to actually KO and weapon's status effects to matter more. Adding in new elements keeps it fresh, just like in 4U and X, but they should not ignore the core mechanics of Monster Hunter.
>>339805112
I wouldn't mind if it just stayed still for one fucking second. Feels like fighting a Vespoid that takes 40 minutes and oneshots you.
>>339805152
KO was always icing on the cake for Hammers, they're already very powerful, very mobile fairly versatile and has good reach. KO:ing shit in MHFU was a pain because of retarded head hitboxes but hammer was still considered top tier.
>>339803606
No. Relics relied on RNG bullshit and grinding.
>>339805290
But KOing means a lot to Hammer users. Exactly then why should someone pick a hammer compared to another blademaster weapon if it doesn't KO that well? That was a major point for hammers throughout the MH series.
>>339805454
Because you can roll into the monster and golfswing his ballsack? TP does a lot more damage than an SnS combo.
>>339805530
I don't get the point you're making. Are you telling me as long as a weapon tier is capable, it's core features shouldn't really matter too much?
Great, playing the style of Hammers is fun, yeah, but so are a lot of weapons, and each weapon should have things that makes them stand out.
>>339805530
Tail cuts is the special effect of cutting, KO is the special effect of impact.
It's quite alright for weapons to have a move or two that does the other damage type or simulates it, but that doesn't mean a cutting weapon should be able to out KO a hammer just as a HH shouldn't be able to cut a tail better than a GS.
At least that's how I feel about it.
>>339805648
KO isn't even worth it half the time if you're soloing. Why am I arguing with someone who clearly doesn't know half of what I know.
>>339805704
That's not the point. I don't know if you're a new coming to Monster Hunter, but KOing for hammers were everything to hammer users back then. Positioning right and timing right when the head will appear, that was the best feeling. But in 4U, CB did a better job at KOing.
>>339805704
>KO isn't even worth it
The fuck are you talking about?
KO is the natural effect of the hammer user hitting the monster on its weakest point, the head, repeatedly.
If you're not KO-ing the monster with a hammer you're simply playing it wrong.
>>339806075
>>339806206
Bullshit. Range was everything because it meant you could hit the enemy and then not get destroyed by a tackle.
Scoring a KO meant you had to hit the tip of the monster's nose, and for what? A free combo? You are a million times better off scoring constant TPs on the torso/legs for knockdowns than you are baiting out headshots like GS shitter and I have almost a decade of experience to back this up with while your first MH was probably on the WiiU.
>>339801503
So if I liked 4U's core gameplay but still walked away from it with a negative impression because of the MMO-tier grinding I wouldn't like this either?
>>339807972
The game itself doesn't impose the grinding on you. It is your own autism that is forcing you to grind.
>>339801035
i've never played monster hunter before
Are these games any good if you have no friends to play with?
>>339809129
yes
>>339805353
>RNG bullshit and grinding
So just like the rest of the game?
>>339809129
which one should i start with?
>>339809129
I play on my own and I say it's still a pretty fun experience. And also a somewhat more challenging one if you're into that. I don't really feel like I'm missing out.
I'd recommend, though, in picking MHFU or any game after that one, since they feature the Felyne Comrades, cats you can bring into hunts to help you out and can make your adventure more lively if you fear you might get lonely as the games are quite a timesink
>>339809458
nice thank you for the info.
Cats? Like housecats...or maybe like tigers...with sabre teeth?
Also are there mounts in this game?
>80+ gathering quests compared to 4U's 30+
>>339809667>Egg-straction
>>339809739In 4U at least, it was funny how it unlocked a Crimson Fatalis quest.
>>339809616
Nope, domestic cats. They come with weapons and armor and are actually more helpful than you'd think. Though the not-so-occasional catbomb (small barrel bombs the cat throws to damage the monsters) knocking you off can be infuriating, it's worth it
And basically that, any game post MHFU, including MHFU is a pretty good starting point, IMO, but normally the latest one you can access is recommended (say, 4U for 3DS or 3U in Wii U if you prefer a home console), since they bring a lot of improvements and new weapon types in every main (numbered) releaseYou can also emulate MHFU if you're feeling unsure about it and see how you like it. There's information on the /mhg/ pastebin
So is the Felyne mode actually fun to do or is it just a gimmick sort of thing?
>>339809571
I didn't ask for a fucking meme
>>339810065
more-than-occasional*, as it happens actually moderately often.
Damn, I can't write
Maybe somebody should host a room
>>339809616
And no, there are no mounts, you can "mount" monsters in 4U, but that's more an attack than anything else. They're not really needed, though
>>339810138
it's a big game though
>>339801035
After everything I've heard about it I think I'm going to skip it, especially after I hated pretty much everything new MH4U introduced, which doesn't exactly make me hopeful for the future of MH
I'm not sure if it's just me finally growing tired of MH or if it's the series slowly going into a direction I don't like, or if it is both, but it's kinda sad after all this time of playing the games
>>339801035
Wait what? This is out now?
>>339810959
Good riddance.
>>339812404
Been out since last November, anon.
>>339812509
I'm not a pirate, so it's not out for me yet.
>>339812404
In Japan yes
So why do people say it's worse than 4U?
Content wise how do they stack against each other?
>>339803606
Relics were ridiculous and the reason hame groups formed was because it was the only efficient way to farm them.
Doing them regularly even with friends was a giant shitshow at 140, and at that point you were already cheesing the hardest content in the game so what was the point.
>>339809359
Relics take it over the edge.
>>339804379
this makes me happy
I've always wanted to give longsword a real try and it might be my go to weapon for X
>>339813697
People aren't saying that. You are too gullible.
>>339814486
People have been saying that since last year and I never bothered to ask why.
I'm not saying I outright believe the claim, which would make me gullible, I'm just asking why they say it, which would clarify if they're just memeing or not.
Get your head on straight doofus.
All I know is gunlances got fucked over. They decreased its damage and now you have to manage that stupid heat gauge. Capcom must hate gunlancers.
>>339813697
It's a high rank game with several steps back over the board, barring some QoL changes it added.
Remember that we skipped out on MH4 for the G-Rank re-release. Don't be surprised a high rank game has less to do.
>>339803216
>it runs better than 4U ran on the o3ds
Spot the shill. 10 FPS when SHTF. You legit are making me angry with such a fucking statement.
>>339814604
Haven't used gunlances since MHFU, but don't they get fucked every new release in some way?
>>339801630
Almost me. Add 2 more years untop of yours and another 1000 hours and we set. I'm literally done with mainline. Hoping that MH Stories is worth it for fresh air
>>339801035
Currently playing it.
I'm having a lot of fun, seeing all the old monsters and trying out the new stuff.
>All the DPS fags say its worse than 4U because they think styles and arts made the game too easy
>>339814604
>shelling now increases poking damage
>WAAAAH WHY NERF US
>>339814958
>Nerf base damage by 15%
>Red bar gives +20%
>Have to sustain it and not risk overheating by abstaining from shelling to much, using an art or wasting a wyvern's fire
If you call that a buff then sure.
>>339809667
>80+ gathering quests
That fucking explains why the first three stars of village quests felt like padded bullshit.
>>339814958
Actually, they did lower the amount of damage a poke does now to adjust for it. The amount of gain compared to 4U poking when the meter is maxed is merely worth peanuts. So effectively it's another upkeep.
For optimal play, aren't GL users stuck to full burst spam with Adept/Bushido?
>>339815178
>>339815268
They nerfed other weapons motion values too. Except unlike GL they didn't get any sort of compensatory mechanic.
>>339815218
It ain't gonna deliver itself, fuckboy.
>>339804476
>>339804639
It's also Frontier`s director. The game is a quasi spin off.
>>339815447
FUCK OFF
ONLY THINGS THAT SHOULD BE DELIVERED IN LATE-GAME ARE EGGS AND ASS-WHOOPINGS
>>339814728
Get the fuck out you lying sack if shit.
Been playing this game for months with ZERO SLOWDOWN on 2ds.
I fucking hate monster hunter but I can't stop playing it
the hitboxes suck, the camera controls are shit, monsters are annoying and frustrating, it's a grinding simulator and it's on a fucking portable system
and yet I'm addicted, I don't understand
>the moment I got to the end game in X I found the perfect charm that let me get both the full flame king rath armor bonus AND evade extend paired with the ember dino switch axe
>mfw I realized that I couldn't possibly make a better set
>>339815665
Neither 4U nor X have slowdowns, what the fuck are you talking about.
Both of them have frame drops, not slowdowns.
>>339815931
Whatever fag its the same shit.
>>339815389
The problem is that the furthest thing any gunlancer would expect is a nerf since the weapon since it's hardly a powerhouse.
>>339816020
>>339816262
Are you actually retarded?
You are thinking of lag dumbass.
