>MHX comes out in a week
>no thread about it
Let's change that. Is there anything you're personally excited for? Do you plan on changing your main weapon?
m8, it comes out in JULY. Not june.
>made me check
YOU FUCKER
>>340419080
>another monster hunter
I bet they already announced the sequel in japan anyway.
I haven't played my 3DS since Monster Hunter big guy. Just noticed they added a c-stick and two z buttons - will I need a new 3ds to play this, or does it have classic controls?
>>340419080
Wow, no hway! Do you get to, like, hunt monsters in this one? I bet it even has large weapons too as well also! I can't wait for this fresh, new, original addition to the series!
>>340419080
Most fans are hanging out in the general.
>>340420961
I like how you are acting like a little shit about this but this game actually adds new features to the series.
>he's not playing the translation patch
my body is reggie
>>340422024
How often will I need to update in order to play with US copies? It's the only thing keeping me from downloading it right now.
I bought MH4U with N3DSXL (also my first console) in Feb, played for 300 hrs and still haven't reach the end game. Guess I probably skip this since I can't even finish the old one or have any friends to play with.
>>340423634
what do you mean? the translation patch has ended, the guy isnt update it anymore
So how is playing as palicoes because so far that seems like the most fun part of the game ?
>>340421117
My nigger
>>340424080
Its fucking stupid, the only good thing is that you can farm good charms with them.
>>340424286
Shame, i guess i will have to wait for next one.
>>340424080
I only use them for gathering quests since they're better at gathering. they're fun at first because the whole new shiny feature thing but then you realize its better to just use a hunter
>>340424437
Well, it was for me, I rarely use them
>Barroth will never make a return in another MH game
FUCK YOU CAPCOM
>>340419080
>It's an OP confuses June with July episode
>tfw I messed up the date
Fuck
Any ideas for some custom Quests?
>>340420961
It's funny, this installation changes more than any other has so far, and many people hate it for that.
Monster Hunter fans are actually autists who just want more monsters to fight, they don't care if the core mechanics/graphics/performance EVER change.

>>340419080
What other information can you give us future man?
>>340426471
Insect Glaive and Charge Blade are now balanced and so no one uses them anymore, kek.
I hope you like Greatsword and S&S Hunter:Generations.
>>340426308
Is there an faq on that includes which values are open event quest slots like in 4U?
>>340425847
It's okay
>>340427140
Not that Im aware off, check this:
https://github.com/svanheulen/mhff/wiki/MHX-rQuestData-Format
???
It came out last year...
>>340426745
Dunno about you, but I have seen longswords, mace, dual blades and lance when playing with bros.
>>340427910
What are those odd runes on the cover?
>No G rank
Why bother?
>>340428186
In the top right? It's a sticker attached to the plastic wrap that says to link your game with your capcom account to get a hunter id.
>>340419080
>comes out in a week
It's been out for a year, Anon.
>>340428270
>What are Sp Permit Tickets
Fuck off faggot
>>340424080
They'reokay
They really feel built for gathering especially with the ridiculous amount of gathering quests in the game.
Combat wise though, they're pretty inefficient, can't heal, all the abilities that SHOULD be good are really bad, and their skills simply take too long to charge up.
Palico only rooms are really fun though.
>>340426745
Great sword is actually finally nerfed.
It's only just okay in generations while other weapons like bow and longsword are top dog.
>>340428297
How can you read them?
>>340419080
>week
I think you meant month, at least for the English release.
>>340428820
greatswrod is still good. it just doesnt mesh well with the bullshit style skills.
lance is top dog now actually. striker lance is a monster.
>>340419080
you're off by a month, m8but I wish you weren't. I want to play this game now
Insect glaive is too god damn addicting
>>340429704
How is switch axe and sword and shield now?
>>340419080
Call me when Capcum switches to a new engine and adds more than 2 new monsters to the game.
>>340429317
How can you read English? Stupid question.
>>340431154
English is the primary language of the world, I don't know what the fuck your runes are
When it comes to Vita.
>>340431873
It would sooner go back to being on the WiiU.
Is it officially too late to get in to 4 now?
I'm going to get it whenever I finally decide to go through the hassle of hacking my n3ds. Can you still play online after hacking it?
>>340431784
English is my native language too. I'm just saying, how do you understand English? You studied it. Same with moonrunes.
>>340420441
It's not N3DS exclusive. It's a circlepad pro built into the system, meaning it works with 3 and 4U though.
>>340430992
both improved, more so the sns. sns can cause KOs better than hammer now as well. swaxe has some bs skills that make it so they can stay in sword mode pretty much forever.
Are there "G-rank like" armors and weapons, or are you forced to run like an idiot during the whole game with high-rank armors against the endgame monsters?
>>340433191
Are you stupid?
Endgame monster are high rank just like your weapons and armor.
>>340433398
Poeple keep saying that the Deviant monsters are harder than G-rank monsters
>>340420401
Next one is probably already out in Japan desu
>>340433570
Obviously that doesn't mean they have G-rank stats. They just mean they're as tough as G-rank monsters relatively.
Is there even a MH for PC?
I think the game is really something I will love, but my only Nintendo console is a Gameboy Color
>>340433191
Yes, there is a "G rank" like monsters and armors apart from High Rank.

>>340425847
Am I the only one here that always play these games solo?
>>340426123
That's not true. It's just that we're typically satisfied with weapons getting new moves to either round out their moveset, or new mechanics to change how we play them, or new monsters introducing new features. Like the fuckin' owl. It can confuse you. That's a new feature. That's very welcome.
Frenzy in general was an alright and mostly-welcomed addition to MH4, but Apex in MH4U could get tedious as fuck.
The idea of verticality itself wasn't an unwelcome one, but underwater combat was executed somewhat poorly in Tri (even if I did personally enjoy it), and the maps introduced in MH4 have too MANY ledges and too MUCH climbing. The biggest offender in particular is the sunken/volcanic hollow.
The idea of weapon family-specific features isn't too unwelcome, such as Chaos Magala's frenzy-sensitive affinity boost, or Seregios' sharpness recovery, but frankly speaking there were really too few weapon families that were like that. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing more like that in the future.
I'm one of those people that kind of enjoy the idea of what they're going for in Gen, but can see the flaws when they really stick out. Some styles completely ruin some weapons, period, and some weapon-specific hunting arts are just total ass, period.
My biggest gripe is the way that flagship design sensibilities have gone since P3rd. Zinogre, Brachydios, Seregios, Glavenus, Astalos. From a pure design perspective, they look less natural, less like actual creatures that could have been born on this world were circumstances different, than Monster Hunter monsters typically do. They're clearly toyetic as fuck and you know what that's fine, but over-designing a monster to achieve that is dumb as shit. Most of the new, non-flagship monsters are fine, and elder dragons can be handwaved away as elder dragons, but fucking hell having airplane fins on the sides of Brachydios' face, a horn that mimics his fists exactly, and that goddamn mace tail do not look elegant at all.
>>340434367
Probably
Is it officially too late to get in to 4 now?
>>340434879
yeah
>>340434502
>The idea of verticality itself wasn't an unwelcome one, but underwater combat was executed somewhat poorly in Tri (even if I did personally enjoy it), and the maps introduced in MH4 have too MANY ledges and too MUCH climbing. The biggest offender in particular is the sunken/volcanic hollow.
This, ledges aren't bad. Shitty map design is and for gen 4 the only good maps that properly use ledges are
Slayground
Primal Forest
Heaven's Mount
Jurassic Frontier
Small Arena like Areas that are not the Arena (Ingle Isle, Sanctuary, ect) The Arena is pure cancer in this gen
any other area just makes me roll my eyes when a quest takes place in it
>>340432242
What the fuck, now they're moonrunes? Is this part of some god damn moon landing/alien conspiracy?
>>340426123
Continuing from >>340434502
When I got into this series, the typical sentiment was that it was the pinnacle of game over grafix, during a time when many games were prioritizing realistic grafix and dumbing down the gameplay. Sentiments like "Monster Hunter doesn't need good graphics to be a good game" were fairly commonplace. It's only now that we're exiting the 8th gen and it still looks only marginally better than PS2 in some ways and notably worse in others is the sentiment about graphics really starting to settle in.
Having a higher, more consistent framerate is always appreciated in a game like this where your reaction time is key.
And as for core mechanics changing, a game doesn't need to completely change genres just to change mechanics. Monster Hunter Tri, for instance, added the Exhaust mechanic. While for many it was the most obvious change and represented a loss of difficulty because the monster would turn into a punching bag, a more-overlooked core mechanic change was the fact that monsters had growing resistances to status effects now. They'd go in traps for shorter and shorter periods of time, eventually it'd get to the point where flash bangs wore off nearly immediately, and it'd take longer to apply paralysis or sleep or poison with each application, plus many elemental attacks started to apply new status debuffs, all features that made the game more difficult in subtle ways. All of these are, in general, very welcome features that change how the game is played in little ways.
>>340435295
I've seen them referred to as moonrunes for over half a decade, anon. You're just late to the party.
>>340434367
I make sure to hunt every monster solo (without cats) at least once, so that I learn its patterns and know that my DPS is good enough. Multiplayer is a shitfest in comparison, with the countless staggers/flash bombs/traps/mounts and the monster getting distracted every other attack, making it stupidly easy to heal up.
>>340434879
No. It's going to offer an altogether different and much longer experience than Generations. Plus it's just over a month 'til Generations releases and you're sure to get 40+ hours by that point, while getting an idea of what to expect from Gen and being able to more thoroughly appreciate or condemn the differences.
>>340435717
Them? Are "moonrunes" some kind of common occurrence to people nowadays or are you just trolling me?
>>340436160
Japanese characters are sometimes referred to as moonrunes.
On 4chan.
i tried the english patch version but i just cant get into it. i know the important stuff is translated like skills and shit, but i like to know everything the npcs are saying to me. when i visited that palico farm or whatever that place is i have no idea how it works and im just pressing buttons.
its fine though because this is the one series that i want to actual support so im going to buy this on release.
>>340420401
They're going to near TGS. There's a MH title in development for this fiscal year that isn't Stories, and most likely won't be MH5.
>>340436853
yea generations ultimate
>>340436853
It's about time for a new mainline MH in Japan so I'd wager odds are it IS MH5.
>>340436954
Eh, that'd be tacky and they know it. X was the 10 year anniversary edition entry and the Japanese are starting to get tired of the G edition formula.
How do Capcom get away with being so unashamedly greedy with MH releases?
They're good games but just think of what it could be like if they didn't shit one out every 5 minutes and actually spent some time on them.
>>340437160
>How do Capcom get away with being so unashamedly greedy with MH releases?
No, not at all. They've been doing this shit for years, see Street Fighter II
>>340436375
>Taking the b8 this far
>>340437434
I don't understand why you're saying that.
>>340424029
I think he means system update because he has a jailbroken 3ds to play pirated shit.
>>340423634
If that's the case, you can't have it both ways, idiot. Either pirate and don't play multiplayer or don't and do.

Hello my Hammer friend.
I was in a MH thread about a week ago, mentioning how I'd never get my Lightbreak Hammer (seriously over 20 Raging Brachy kills and no Immortal Reactor), and some anon replied:
>Hammer
>in MH4U
Am I missing something? Can't you just use whatever weapon you want? I don't care how "balanced" it is, or whatever. You're playing against the environment anyway.I never play online, only Solo and Local with my one good Monster Hunter buddy
>>340439972
Because in the very likely event he fucks up, he's sol, while if he sent it to shop, it's on them if something else goes wrong or if the repair doesn't go well.
>>340443482
It just part of monster hunter thread culture to always complain about every weapon. I think Great Sword is objectively the best in 4U though.
>>340443482
that anon was just a shitposter
Play with the weapon you like.
>>340442959
That's a MH4 clip, and is just base insect glaive.
You won't be able to do that with most weapons even with Aerial Style.
>>340422024
I played a little but I decided to let my 4U burnout wear off instead by waiting for the official release
>>340443675
I think GS is objectively the best in all games. I'm kind of glad that I've been disconnected from Monster Hunter "culture" this whole time. It's kind of indicative of what it's like being on 4chan as a whole.

>>340443781
Thank you, anon-kun. There is nothing like hammer bro-ing it up and knocking out the monster in 5 seconds.
Pic is opposite of how I feel right now
>tfw will have to downgrade from G rank Seltas armor to HR in Generations
>will have to look like a less radical, but still radical giant robot
>>340444053
I actually enjoy the /v/ threads more because the /vg/ threads are so far up their own ass that they can't see the light of day anymore.
>>340444053
I dunno I like calling everyone with dual swords edgy while using long sword 90% of the time. It's just shooting the shit really.
I finally got my 3ds working online
just when generations is coming outI wanted to play mh4u with you
>>340444053
The objective best feel is Hammer and GS users broing it up. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
>>340444179
yea /mhg/ is elitist as fuck. but they have to if they want to keep the thread safe from newfriends.
>>340444665i'll play monster hunter gen with you next month anon:3
>>340444703
It was fine around the years between Tri and 3U, but maybe I just caught it at good times, but it seemed more sane to me. Probably because Tri represented a shit tonne of new people entering into the Monhun world as it was the first BIG boost in western culture for Monhun.
>>340444846I'm not going to be able to buy it in a few months, anonthank you though for your kindnessI'll see you someday

no i'm fuckin sick of gettin into a new mh game and having to fuckin farm shit all over again
fuck off
>>340443482
Play whatever you like. 4U's balance can be atrocious once you hit the endgame, but it shouldn't be a significant issue as long as you aren't trying to solo 140 monsters with the Hunting Horn.
>>340443482
No Anon, you can love the hammer all you want.
The problem is that, because of the new adds of MH4U the Hammer got indirectly heavily nerfed.
As a pure KO weapon, the Charbe Blade is a much better choice.
Even in term of damage & KO the CB is greatly superior.
But it's not like I'm saying that you shouldn't play it, even I sometimes enjoy using my max rax relic Hammer but since I use the CB too I can clearly see the huge difference between them.
Capcom either need to buff the Hammer or nerf the CB.
>>340445362
>>340443482
huh I forgot to write something else.
The elevation difference between zones is also one of the indirect huge nerf of the hammer, htting the head is a bitch.
>>340445362
>Capcom either need to buff the Hammer or nerf the CB.
Did they do this in X/Gen?
>>340441941
I did nothing but meme glaive because I liked the jumping, but now every weapon has jumping apparently.
I rather liked the insect shit too though, so I might still play it.
Do you guys think people will still play 4U after this? Wouldn't they have a version of Generations with G-rank later anyway?I barely touched 4U and I bought it day one. There's just too big of a backlog in my hands and sometimes it's hard to dedicate time to something you NEED to invest a lot of time into to enjoy it.
>>340445547
i heard charge blade got really nerfed
>>340445547
They nerfed the CB in some way iirc.
greatsword is for fags. literally hold X to win the weapon no skill at all.
>hey anon switch to gs or be kicked
fuck off
>>340445597
That's not "leveling up" retard, your armor skills are equipment based. The character stays as strong as they are from the start of the game. AKA: they don't level up
>>340445547
The CB got a nerf in Gen, both in term of damage and mechanics.
For examples, you can't do a Guard point to AED anymore.
Did IG get nerfed?
>>340419080
What platform? Still Nintendo? Why the fuck aren't they putting MH on literally anything else?
>>340445989
Not as much as CB
>>340445768
>hey anon switch to _____ or be kicked
i'd leave regardless of what they asked you to switch to.
>>340445689
I never really figured out the Charge Blade, but I thought it was pretty interesting.
I've played since Freedom on PSP and my friends and myself always just chose whichever weapon we thought was best for whatever monster we were going up against.
There was no min/maxing or "r u seriously bringing this weapon kek". We all just... played video games. It was surprising when I got online on 3/U and 4U. Everyone sucked balls. Then I went to /v/ to talk to them about it and, well... there's weird classism about which weapon you choose. Either from the online randoms like >>340445768 mentioned, i.e. "switch to gs or be kicked" or from anons themselves who are just hating on your favorite weapon.
I think it's fun to figure out how to cause the most damage or what have you, but ultimately, it's no substitute for gitting gud.
I've played over 300 hours in every MH title released in the west since Freedom and the way the game is approached/thought of on 4chan/reddit just doesn't mesh well with how I've always thought about it.
Anyway, I'm done now, thank you for reading my blog post. Here is a cool S for your time.
I've played MH since FU and haven't played online once, am I missing out?
>>340445362
>>340444053
how do you guys do it? i fell in love with hammer a long time agoyoung impressional me back in freedom unite thought breaking a congalala's comb was caving it's skull in, but i feel so garbage with it, and feel like i just get outspeed by monsters, i barely get one K.O. in the hunt and just end up missing or resorting to hitting the body to at least damage the monster
>>340446016
Because the Monhun team LIKES Nintendo.
>Most casual MonHun so far.
>Excited.
Nah. I'll pirate it and rub jizz in my hair.
>>340446254
Not really.
It is fun with friends, but playing online with randoms is very hit-or-miss. I prefer soloing the game, but others prefer going online.
>>340446291
It depends of the monsters.
For example, against a Diablos you don't attack the head at all but its stomach.
>>340437160
>How do Capcom get away with being so unashamedly greedy with MH releases?
You must have missed all the days SF2 had updates out the ass, not to mention Megaman getting so many games in a year that people just stopped caring
>>340446414
>P3rd
>3U
>>340446415
Pretty much what I figured. I did have friends who played FU but I bought a PSP very late into the gen tho.
I have enough fun with my felynes anyways.
>barely anyone uses based hunting horn
>the ones who do are the shitty randoms who just play songs the whole quest and never directly attack the monster
>get told by other shitty randoms my "job" as horn user is to be the healer, or else I'll be kicked
I just like to be the marvelous magic music man, I never asked for this bullshit.
>>340446625
>Megaman getting so many games in a year that people just stopped caring
This is what gave them the greenlight to kill him off.
>>340445661
Does Generations not have G Rank?
>>340446414
>Most casual MonHun so far.
That's P3rd.
It was such a fucking easy game.
>>340446684
I am very fortunate to be friends with "Monster Hunter: The Person"
Seriously, this dude is playing Monster Hunter ALL the time. He's like an 11-year-old who just discovered Runescape.
Whenever I want to play, it's always "what do you want to fight, anon? What quests/items do you need?" and he's like an encyclopedia of Monster Hunter knowledge.
We get hyped every time a new game comes out, get it at midnight (if possible), and play it well into the next day (we always ask for work off). It's a lot of fun. Monster Hunter is a good series man.
>>340446961
It doesn't need to.
The end game is a lot more challenging and fun than 140 GQ Rajang Hunter.
>>340446851
As someone who never fully understood the hunting horn this may sound stupid but how are you supposed to use it? Like a hammer that can heal/buff?
I wonder what the biggest monster physically in this game will be. I've always loved learning who the biggest is in each game. Anyone know?
>>340447078
In what way? Not that I don't believe you, just curious as to how.
I haven't gotten very far in MH4 (lancerbo here) and I don't know if I should sell it or just keep playing and wait for MHX. I liked Tri on Wii, but 4 seems lackluster.I haven't gotten past all the events in the great hall or whatever that place is in the back of the city in the beginning of the game.
>>340447314
The game has no siege fights
probably the final boss since you can climb on it's back, Gammoth is the tallest
>>340419080
>GL will forever be bottom tier

Sorta, yea. It's buffs are really nice. Some horns can negate stamina use, negate wind pressure, up elemental damage, etc. One of the best ones is having a sonic bomb song for when fighting a Rathalos.
The whole gimmick of the music is great in my opinion. Reminds me of playing a bard back in my D&D days.
Anyway, yea, it's basically a hammer, but you want to do your best to keep your songs from running out for too long. Try to keep the pressure on the monster, while also refreshing the songs every now and then.
Or, you could be an absolute madman and play your songs right in the monster's face, and use your encore to KO them. Pic absolutely related.
>>340447314
If we're taking all games into account, then probably Doug Dalamadur owner of the Dalamadome.
Probably the moss octupus if it's just X
>>340447834
Don't worry about it in X. Kill times are usually only a minute or two off from each other. Sometimes even less.
>>340447504
Deviants monsters (which are basically overpowered version of basic monsters) can be leveled and become stronger.
A bit like the 140GQs.
Though with a LOT fucking more monsters farmable.
>>340447215
A hunting horns job is bash monster heads in while playing the songs of your people to hype up you and anyone else you're hunting with. Getting a KO on an encore is satisfying as fuck.
Healing horns are trash. Straight buffing is all you need. Attack up and negate stamina songs are GOAT.

No, It's often far quicker for me to do a quest solo than search for a room, leave for a quest with randumbs, then fail because they cart, repeat until I find a group that can complete the quest.
I do play with friends when they decide they want to play though because they're not shitters, but that doesn't happen often.
>>340448458
But as far as proper quests go, nothing above High Rank? What about equipment?
>>340449457
You say that like you're expecting it to be anything else
To be fair though, it must be hard for the designers to come up with brand new monsters every game. I can't imagine what the meetings are like when they're told a new MH is in the works.
>>340448946
Omastar's new mega evolution
>>340450353
>I can't imagine what the meetings are like when they're told a new MH is in the works.
There's probably a board with a bunch of animals on it, then another board with "Monster parts" like spikes and horns and whatnot.
They throw darts at both the boards and combine whatever they get.

Ravi towers over Dala, the opening to Berserk Rav shows it
>>340451386
>>340450884
Honestly, I can't understand how you guys use this thing. It feels pretty fucking underpowered, even when you're hitting elemental weaknesses.Part of it is that I'm a little bad at positioning with faster weapons to be honest
>>340452285
items! Monsters can't put you out of position if they can't move
long overdue for some new crabs
>>340452172
It's more it's hard to see a side by side if they were stretched out since Dala likes to coil around the everything.
I'd wager Ravi is still longer overall though.
>>340452152
The fuck is this, that mmo? How are you supposed to fight it if it shoots you all into the air and then eats you?
>>340451981
>>340452152
I can sorta get behind some of the monsters we hunt not immediately kiling us, but this thing is ridiculous. Bigger than any of the towns we've been in, almost as big a damn island, and somehow, our dinky little swords and guns pose a threat to this thing.
My old MH4U 3DS that had it pre-installed is broken, but I'm getting the new Generations one. Can I start playing the game before Nintendo transfers my licenses to the new 3DS or will I lose everything once that happens?Also is my save data fucked?
>>340452514
git gud
It just isn't as fun as 4U.

Do you live on the tears of others?
>>340437053
>It's about time for a new mainline MH in Japan so I'd wager odds are it IS MH5.
No it isn't. Mainline games come out the year after the G version of the previous mainline game. MHX came out in September. It's MHXG. MH5 is next year.
>>340452539
You fight it not only with more than 4 people, but also over multiple hunts, and if the day/night cycles are anything to check takes the course over multiple days.
So I guess officially you're hounding this thing until it dies.
Berserk is even worse where you have 32 people all wailing on this thing in different ways, between actually attacking it or using cannons and shit as a support team.
>>340452681
MHX isn't getting a G version. Otherwise Monster Hunter Generations wouldn't be happening
At most MHX would get a Wii U port and an early trailer for MH5 would be annnounced and the game comes out 2 years later like MH4
>>340445740

The damage nerf was fairly small since CB is still mid tier at worst
But it has to be played quite differently from 4U for best results
>>340419080
because I still haven't even finished 3&4
I don't know man, every time I start those games I fuck up the controls and rage quit after using my sharpening shit by mistake
>GL is easily one of he worst weapons in 4U
>they actually nerfed its base damage by 5% in X
The absolute madmen.
Will it come out for PSP?
>>340452514
Probably just have to dive the big launch flare.
My guess the people in that webm were entirely new to the fight and didn't know that was coming.
>>340452846
>MHX isn't getting a G version.
lmao
>>340452846
there is a monster hunter game coming out before march 2017 that is only expected to sell 2 million. mainline games sell 4 million. g versions sell 2 million. it's monster hunter x g.
>>340443502
This. I do dialectical and some solder work. I love to goof around but if there's anything that goes into the triple digits that requires some technical work, I don't typically DIY.
I'll let someone whose a professional do it, and watch them do it if possible while acting like I don't know what I'm doing.
If they fuck it up, It's free. If they don't, I learned something new.
>>340453109
>Probably just have to dive the big launch flare.
I guess.
Kind of seems stupid though. "This giant wave of fire stuff knoicked me into the air, but it won't if I'm a few feet off the ground"
>>340447078
Only autist fags play mh4u as 140 jang max raw relic hunteran.

>>340453354
>only mainline games can sell 4 million
MHP3rd sold 5 million while Tri sold 1 million in Japan.
>>340447215
Exactly so.
Its hammer you use set combos ONLY for so you can play the songs it gives you.
Which with horn maestro are delicious.
>>340453354
If that were the case then Generations wouldn't have been announced
>>340453370
>"This giant wave of fire stuff knoicked me into the air, but it won't if I'm a few feet off the ground"
But you could say the same thing for literally every single time you ever dive through any other kind of attack. It's just that the flare up is more absurd than phasing through a tail whip or something, so it triggers your 'tism.
>>340419080
Fuck you.
And no. Hammer main for life.
>>340450227
The way I read about it, you don't need 2%'ers anymore. There are certain categories of items that are needed to upgrade, like a fire monster nutsac or what the fuck ever, and as long as you have something like that, you can make and upgrade the item.
The idea was to make it more fluid/natural and not "Fuck, It didn't drop the brachy gem, time to fucking kill this thing 100 times and get nothing but pounders and ebonshells"
>>340453532
>>340453653
Yea you're right.
>>340448545
Basarios line so good for buffs. Plus metal as f.
>>340452968
This brings up something I've never been able to figure out. What exactly are motion values? Are they a set percentage of the base damage the weapons has?
>>340450227
Every monster gets an outraged version that does G level damage when using affected parts of their body
If that part can use projectiles, like say rathalos' head, the projectiles will be larger as well
>>340453746
It's more like the kinsect system where you dump nectars into the bug until reaching a threshold where you upgrade the glaive like any other weapnos
Except instead of kinsects it's all weapons and armor, and instead of nectar it's general parts from the appropriate monster, or spheres for armor
>>340419080

get fucking good anon
I haven't read anything about the upcoming game. Have they done anything about clown suits? Do you still have to grind for THAT talisman you want that would be perfect for your armor/skills? I managed to mix and match a decent armor with talismans last game, but I would love there to be a cosmetic option for armor.
>>340454117
I thought the kinsect system was really cool.
There was the "obvious best" one but even then I thought IG was cool overall
>>340454117
So commidies/trading in general, and the 2%'s are now "Oh look, you just got a 60% bar fill. Now your group hates you."
>>340454057
Motion values are the percentage of the weapon's true raw that get used when calculating damage, yes
True raw is the weapon's raw before the mostly cosmetic class modifier, like how a GS with 1104 and a SnS with 322 have the same true raw of 230
P3 and X don't bother with class modifiers and just show the true raw
>>340454276
The only sets in the game that matter at all are the final forms of the deviant sets, which all have extremely armor skills they provide.
They're meant to be worn as a whole, not as a clown suit, it's simply a matter of picking the set that fits your weapon/style the most.
I played 4U on the 3DS. First Monster Hunter game for me, it was decent enough I thought. Towards the end though, the grind for parts to get weapons and armour kinda killed it for me.
Once I put down the game to play something else, I never picked it up again.
Still, it was decent fun I suppose so I might be interested in the next one. What new stuff does it add?
>>340454276
>Have they done anything about clown suits?
There's a few good full sets to collect, but clown suits are intended. They even introduced an entire class of gear that only exists for mixing.
>Do you still have to grind for THAT talisman you want that would be perfect for your armor/skills?
Unfortunately. One of the quests yielded a far higher amount of charms than normal in the Japanese version, so you may want to do some research on that.
>>340419080
>monster hunter
The only series that can sell you the DLC as a full game and get away with it.
>>340453609
They can just localize Generations Ultimate next year. That's why the Japanese announcement will be made at TGS after MHG comes out here. No biggie.

>>340454639
>What new stuff does it add?
Different ways to play each weapon, different monster roster (Since you haven't played 3rd gen games many of them will be new to you) and a simplified upgrade system that won't demand you grind for specific part constantly.
>>340454526
Why do they even use the modifiers? It just muddles up things.
>>340454692
Outside of Japan, we usually only get the G versions of games. Also, in the most recent games, the actual DLC is all free.
>>340454957
I think it was a way to get across the fact that the great sword does more damage in one hit than the sns. This is done through motion values.
>>340454817
Oh, that sounds cool actually. Thanks anon, I'm excited to hear about the less grinding needed part.
>>340453609

>>340453746
So is it a thing where it takes 100 monster points for a weapon/armor, where the common thing is 10 points and the rare one is 50?
