there are way too many "helper monsters" in this fucking game
Im trying to fight the gendrome and he is not hard at all, but whenever i try to aim my bow at him one of his stupid fucking minions does a flying drop kick that paralyzes me from off screen.
every area in this desert has like ten of them and two more respawn for each one i kill.
FUCK THIS GAME
>>345257928
where the fucking shiny beetles at
this is 3U's carpenterbug problem all over again
>>345257928
>helper monsters
You're fighting the bitch-tier pussy monsters who are slightly larger than their friends. Wait til you fight the real shit, the little guys won't be there anymore and you'll wish they were.
>>345258880
you can find them in the two big
sandy areas of the desert and the tiny little caves connected to them
they are very rare though, so good luck getting the ten you need for that piece of armor :^)
>>345259071
It's vastly easier to fight one big monster over a bunch of smaller ones
I can't keep track of the movements of a million annoying genprey but one seregios or a gore magala is a lot easier to predict
>>345257928
>bow
>against a drome
>>345260629
i am playing gunner for the first time this game and i dont know the best strategies
>>345259272
So kill them or use dungbombs you dipshit. just stop playing now lol.
>>345260882
you did not even read my post you dumbass
>>345257928
That's the point of the dromes. They hunt in packs. If you're fighting anything else, they either fuck off or die from collateral.
>>345258880
Again this retard.
Progress the game and you might find out. Got 20+ of them. Kiranico is also up with english to spoonfeed your casual ass.
>>345257928
>>345260791
Stop aiming your bow so much (let alone against a gendrome). Ready the arrow, dont ever stop moving, and fire at the right distance and range. It'll become very fluid for you eventually
Only press the aim button when you're aiming for specific body parts with rapid shots or going from head-tail/wing-wing with pierce shot.
Look up optimal distance. Basically if you're too close or too far you get a damage penalty. You wanna be around 2-3 rolls away from the monster. You know you're at the right distance when your shots have a huge white flash and the screen shakes.
Don't spam the powershot (not to be confused with Power coatings) either.
>>345261760
why not spam powershot? it's more damage, right?
>>345257928
Should I finish 4U or just pirate this game and play it instead?
>>345261928
Because it uses alot of stamina which could be better used rolling, and it leaves you wide open for an attack due to its ending animation lag.
It's generally a good idea to use it alot (and even if you're out of stamina you can still use it due to stamina regen) but it's not always the best choice.
>>345261929
finish 4u
I was having a ton of fun going through g-rank in 4, but I dropped it and bought this because /v/ said it was good
now i am bitter and angry and wish I was still playing 4
>>345262410
what's wrong with g
>>345262410
i'm also playing 4u for now. MHGen just seems a bit easy.
im new to bow what does this mean on my weapon
Charge shot
level 1 rapid lvl1
2 pierce lvl1
3 rapid lvl2
>tfw no mhgenerations on vita
>>345262816
It's been awhile but I believe it's based on how many times you "flash" when you're holding your attack.
Level 1 will be no charge at all
Level 2 will be the first flash and has a slight attack boost
Level 3 will be the second flash and has a bigger attack boost
>>345262816
the amount of time you need to hold your shot, pretty much like the GS charge, if you just tap the fire button the arrow will be a rapid shot, lv2 will be a piercing arrow and so on

Will i need a N3ds for MH gen?
>>345262410
>I was having fun with the highest difficulty of the previous MH
>I'm comparing it to the current MH lowest difficulty and its not fun
Who would've thunk.
>>345263401
uhhh no, the difficulty has nothing to do with why I hate gen
>>345262670
Nothing is wrong with it. Unless you're an autistic faggot like >>345263075 , you'll enjoy it.
>>345263650
I play monster hunter, I am autistic.
>>345262816
All bow shots are one of 3 types and depend on the bow.
Rapid fires a small bunch of arrows in a tight formation. Arrows spread out vertically. This is the bread and butter shot. Great for small enemies and hitting specific body parts.
Pierce fires a single powerful arrow that penetrates and will hit all the hitzones/hitboxes on a monster that it flies through. Great for HUGE monsters and shit like Plesioth. Horrible on small monsters or the Dromes.
Scatter fires and a horizontal fan shaped formation. It's good for applying status/element or with closerange coating but can be pretty meh otherwise because typically trying to hit a monster with the entire spread will make you leave the optimal distance or half the arrows wont hit the weakspot.
>>345263075
you forgot no g rank

Congrats, you did it son. You're even more retarded now.
>>345263870
that's not an argument. if you disagree with my points, please present your counters or go home :^)
>>345263075
Get your gunlance the hottest it can go but not over.
Wyvernfire
Congratulations your gunlance is now locked at red heat and cant overheat via shelling. Enjoy your free attack boost.
>>345263967
My argument is that you're literally incapable of enjoying things because you got your head too far up your ass. Please discuss.
>>345263863
It runs about the same, which still isn't great, but it's fine. That's also just one point out of the nine. I'm just not a retard who has to be a contrarian faggot because he feels alone in this world and the only satisfaction he gets out of his life is by shitting on good things. I bet you wrote a rant on Facebook or Twitter about how Monster Hunter Generations is "a big piece of shit" to get some kind of satisfaction out of knowing that you are stirring up controversy for the sake of doing so. But in reality, everyone you care about who read that post thinks you are a big fucking faggot and doesn't even want to talk to you.
Why do you even breathe? Clearly your life is meaningless. You can't even get enjoyment out of a game series you enjoy because you are so fucking jaded that you have to bash it for literally no reason.
Don't ever reply to me again.
>>345264254
you don't actually want to discuss monster hunter, you just want to make people mad and post smug images
well you are wasting your time because I don't have any emotions
Why are prowlers so fun /v/? I've been going for the meta prowler build, just need to get to level 15 for Attack Up L, but i'm just tearing through the monsters with the boomerangs. I hope they're here to stay on the next monhun games
>>345263075
it's almost as if it's an anniversary spin-off game
>>345264330
mh gen is locked at 30fps while 4u would run at 60 sometimes
how is that "about the same?"
>>345264415
>>345264496
What's the meta?
I always make a bomb cat so I wonder if bomb Prowler would be fun.
>>345264852
- Assist trait
- Emergency Retreat
- Big boomerangs and Piercing boomerangs
As for skills
- Boomerang Pro, Attack Up L and then whatever you want, I have earplugs, for example
>>345264852
Meta is Full Boomerang.
>>345257928
Ah yes. I remember back when I used to rage at the game like this.
>>345264330
i am saving this for future use
>>345263075
the cooking does seem really really silly this time around
>>345263796
woah didnt know it was so detailed. i just assumed charging the bow to max was always the best option. thanks ill keep this in mind.
>some jaggi comes and knocks you over just as you're about to fuck up the monsters face
>>345269094
>not having super armor on every single attack your weapons has
>>345264496
I've found that there's no need to stock up on pickaxes and nets anymore since I can just use the prowler to gather shit instead when I'm farming. The fact that they don't get affected by hot/cold or stamina just adds to their convenience.
>>345269270
He probably meant Jaggia. Jaggia tackle/Rhenoplos,Bullfango rushes don't care about super armors.
>>345269626
Yeah that's what I meant. They do that annoying hip check thing.
>>345269436
It's amazing. No stamina, run around for days. Cold? Heat? Stamina debuffs? Like I give a shit. Monster going crazy zooming around the field like a maniac? i'll just hide underground and heal. You don't even cart if you die, as long as you have acorns you don't cart.
It's almost kinda cheaty honestly
How are the dual blades?
>>345263738
hey, me too
>>345257928
Never stop moveing retuard
how do i get good at aerial GS, i cant tell if its good or not, im too used to going for full charge
>>345263313
No.
>tfw got disconnected when I was having fun
>>345263796
Mostly correct, but scatter is the objectively best shot.
>>345269995
hows their damage though?
living forever wont mean much if i can't kill the later multiplayer bosses in a timely fashion
>>345273663
you can full charge in the air bro.
>>345276991
their damage is the same as the other cats which means they're gay, but that's not why they're useful
>>345261139
Welcome to the monster hunter fanbase, damage control, deflections and cries of"git gud" anytime you give a proper criticism against MH's bad design is all you'll find here.
I've been trying to get into mhg but it just ain't clicking
most of the styles feel like shit because you either lose key aspects of the weapon or because their hunter arts are just utter dogshit.
They removed basically everything fun from CB and nerfed IG's dmg into the ground
Hammer and HH feel like they're at least a generation behind and completely unloved by the devs.
So far most of the fights have been 1st or 2nd gen mons that have not been updated since their initial release so add spam, instant charges, and tail spins ahoy.
I've been trying to get into SnS since its oils and HA aren't garbage and it did not get gutted like other weapons did and it works, but I just feel like the game really just is not that fun at all.
How do I enjoy this?
>>345280161
this, i love monster hunter but the fanbase is absolutely retarded
>>345280360
did you enjoy any of the other monster hunter games?
you could try playing a gunner for the first time like i am. I'm getting a little frustrated getting used to all the new mechanics and controls but it feels like the first time i played freedom unite on my psp again
>>345280634
I loved FU, liked tri, enjoyed 3U, and then had the "this is amazing" for most of 4U which transitioned into "what the fuck did they do to the balance, this is fucking awful" come endgame
This just feels like the worst parts of 4U exacerbated with all the new toys to play with having safety caps or being half broken to start with.
>>345280932
"what the fuck did they do to the balance, this is fucking awful" come endgame
elaborate
>>345281193
GS, ranged, DB, je suis monte, and CB
those were endgame weapons
You tried to use anything else and you were just ineffective in comparison.
Apex mons being some of the worst fights, the trap spam being so very real, and everything just devolving into rushing burst dmg
Is my circle pad pro broken or does ZR and ZL not do shit?
So is the US version censored in any way?
>>345281679
So they nerfed Switch Axe and Hammer?
>>345282919
no, they nerfed charge blade, insect glaive, and gunlance
>>345263075
b-but im sure we will have a whole year of DLC like they did with MH4U r-right?
>>345283307
Why nerf Gunlance? No one used it
>>345283767
They tried to buff it
They did a very poor job of buffing it
I see for the DLC guild cards, the game does have one from Fairy Tail. Is there other anime/manga series DLC stuff in Generations? Heard theres One Piece DLC in the game(already out in Japan)..
I always hate how games introduce difficulty in the amount of adds you have to kill instead of making the actual boss challenging.
Like XCX, I actually fought the (second to) last boss outside of my Skell on his second phase and killed his shield satellite and shit and was super fucking annoyed until I realized they parked the skells right inside the doorway for you to use, even though you don't enter with them.
I dunno, relying on numbers to make shit difficult is annoying.
>>345283865
Yugioh's Dark Magician is a palico armor set. Dunno when that comes out
>>345283991
Theres a fucking Yotsuba guild card, did you not notice that one?
>>345284324
>Yotsuba guild card
The fuck does that have to do with Xenoblade Chronicles X?
Just bought it, it mentioned something about transferring things from MH4U to MHG, what exactly do they take?
>>345284010
Damn, capsom's been on a roll using licensed stuff as DLC. In 4U, they had Devil May Cry, Street Fighter, and Mega Man(Capcom's IPs), Mario, and Zelda(Nintendo IPs), and Sonic(Sega's IP) for DLC outfits and weapons.
In Generations we get Fire Emblem(Nintendo's IP) and anime/maga series for outfits and such.
Surprised Capcom hasn't done Resident Evil costumes for MH or even Strider or ask Sega for PSO outfits and PSO themed weapons. Hell they should've asked Nintendo for Xenoblade DLC outfits. Can see the Mondado either for a LS or GS weapon.
>>345284437
well I'm fucking retarded, meant to quote >>345283865
Ignore me
>>345283991
this is a monster hunter thread, anon
although I agree with you that the last boss for XCX is pure garbage. I was really disappointed by that game. At least it had top-tier exploration
>>345284494
Strider's in generations. I think they did resident evil in a past game
People love them fanservice costumes
>>345284775
>Strider's in generations
Oh shit really? I'll wait for the DLC then. How are they handing DLC in Generations? Doing it every month like with 4U?
>>345284604
I had low expectations from the start but the amount of exploration and just being able to get in a huge mech at will and spec it to fire a shitton of lasers saved the game for me.
I dunno, I just hate any series that uses numbers in encounters in place of actual difficulty so I can sympathize with OP. I was annoyed at several fights in XCX. Like the Ga Jiarg fight where he just has 5 adds, and then when he gets in his fucking Skell he goes invulnerable halfway through and summons more adds. Shit like that breaks the flow of the game. If you're going to introduce a numbers-based boss, don't also give someone a named / important target to kill.
>>345284494
Wonder if they would release Viewtiful Joe and/or Okami skins

I-it's fine, I was never good enough to beat the event missions in 4U anyway.
Low rank key quest turns room!
Gathering, pass is 7243, if you don't have the time or autism to fight the same four monsters 4 times each don't come.
I'm a Hammer main, HH secondary, how is this game?
I was disappointed in how overshadowed Hammer/HH were in 4U.
Are there weapon trees/guides for this new weapon upgrade system yet? Goddamn.
>>345286657

>>345286775
>hammering down that Tetsucabra at air
i never knew that was possible, i think I overestimate the hammer
Anyone who thinks that being swarmed with small mobs is bad in a newer MH game has never played an iteration of MH 1. Jesus fucking Christ it was awful. The biggest change for me going from Freedom 1 to 3U wasn't the hitboxes, nor the weapon moveset upgrades, nor the departure from the same old flying wyvern skeleton, but the severe toning down of small monsters.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfhOdM65HA8
>>345288126
wow, I am glad MH3U was my first MH, I don't think I'll ever continue with this franchise If i started with the first MH
Where disc stones
>>345290000
Go mining in Verdant Forest. It's available as a harvest tour in HR1.
>>345288126
Holy shit. That seems borderline unplayable.
What is second most party-friendly Blademaster weapon (after the HH, obviously)?
>>345290440
SnS is good with status effects and can use items to heal the party or incapacitate the monster without sheathing.
Any fellow Hammer Bros feel the hitbox is a lot thinner this time around? I'm quite adept with the hammer in 4U but here I'm whiffing a lot more.Maybe it's because the game clogs the quest list with 'kill small shit' and they're harder to hit
>>345290159
It might as well have been. MH1 was a busted ass janky unfun game. Not sure how it ever managed to sell considering how many problems it has.
>>345257928
why is Prowler so strong
>easy equipment to make
>can take a lot of damage
>can wipe 3 times per cart
>does a surprising about of damage
Like i was using Prowler against some shit that I thought would take me 20 minutes to beat but I did it in like 4. It couldn't even run into the next area. Plus I like using the Plunderang for free items
>>345288126
I'm actually kinda glad I never bothered to buy the PS2 version at a garage sale now.
>>345290805
prowler isn't nearly as strong as you think
When you get good enough at the end of the game, prowler falls to 2nd last in kill times
Join me! 43-8688-7035-6869
>>345291349
I guess
Early game they seem really powerful
>>345290834
>>345290159
I know this is a very weak argument for a broken game but it had an incredible atmosphere that drew me in and kept me totally glued to the screen, even during times of bullshit. Newer MH is overwhelmingly superior in all other aspects but it lost that vaguely unsettling nature and the feeling of being totally insignificant, of being an intruder in this feral world that could squash you like an insect.
Not even nostalgia or lack of games to play, I played it just a few years ago.
>>345291349
Should I default to prowler for gathering and 'kill small monster" missions
>>345291568
Well it only had that atmosphere because it was a broken game heavily in favor of the enemies.
>>345291568
of course anyone would think they are insigificant when a game was this broken to the point it was impossible for anyone to beat, specially when you lie on the ground
>>345291790
>>345292201
Even though it was due to developer incompetence and not by design, the end result of it all was unlike anything I'd ever played before. Could never recommend it to anyone, would never go back, but I'm glad I played it.
>>345292404
On the bright side it set the groundwork for the game we love today.
I think the only reason it got it's 2nd (third?) chance with Freedom 2 was because the director is a son of an important capcom executive?
>>345292665
>because the director is a son of an important capcom executive?
so you're saying there wouldn't be more monster hunter if it wasn't for this person?
>>345292773
Moreso if he didn't have that connection. His series would've been shitcanned like anything else that doesn't have Fighter or Hazard in the title.
>>345293060
Well that's a good thing, right? i mean, there isn't a lot of monster series except for pokemon or dragon quest and now yokai. Monster Hunter brings a new concept that doesn't have to be MMORPG and Im very new to this series and I am glad this series exist nowadays because im tired of the big titles and for me MonHun is something fresh for me to play

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.
Monster Hunter is cool and all but the rabid fan base sucks on Capcom's dick like it's got the cure for cancer, and gods help you if you make a legitimate criticism.
>>345294294
Fondue is the new fad in MH universe but yeah I'm a little disappointed you don't get heaping plates of food here, and that the fat cat isn't the pimary chef, instead it's the Purrprietess
>>345294638
>>345294427
Huh. Must have missed that detail somewhere. I agree the fat cat and purrprietess should've switched places
Can someone please explain to me what the fuck are "prowlers"?
Have they been in any other game besides this one?
Do you just control a the stupid cat things instead of your regular character? If so thats dumb i hate fucking cats
>>345294970
Prowler is just the name for playable Felyne. and no it's a first, and they're pretty fun fuck you
>>345294970
The prowler is you playing as the cat
>>345294970
You pick a Palico to play as and you can control him basically. This is the first game where you can play as them. You can also have two palicos with you like usual. Benefits include unlimited stamina, faster gathering (and crouching doesn't seem like it benefits you any here.) no need for bugnets or pickaxes and lastly they have various tools to help players out.

"My strategy isn't working! I'm going to go on /v/ bitch about fucking Gendromes!"
This is Monster Hunter. If your approach isn't working, adapt. Find your footing. Hunt in a way that makes you stay on top. If you are losing, it's on you because others managed to succeed with the same weapon you are using.
>>345295837
fuck Gendromes regardless
Is there seriously no way to put the skill charge bars on the top screen? It's fucking retarded that I should have to waste two panel slots on the bottom screen just to be able to tell if they're charged or not.

Is it not in the options?
Wait, so what's the optimal way to use the bow? I thought I was okay with it but now I'm confused. I thought you were always either power-shotting or arc-shotting, but people are saying you do other stuff too. What other stuff?

Tsujimoto was the producer, he has never directed a game
Freedom 2 was made because Freedom 1 was the first game in the series to sell a million copies. The series was hitting its stride and showing obvious signs of growth, unlike all those series that got shitcanned for selling fewer and fewer copies with each installment.
Are status cats back to being useful like in P3rd? Will any setup let them para/sleep an endgame monster at least once without my help?

>>345303951
Don't just play music.
Don't just hit the monster.
Play your music while hitting the monster.
Recitals and Encores too.
You can't go wrong with Attack Up, Negate Stamina, or Earplugs, or preferably some combo of those.
>>345303951
HH is really simple to pick up currently.
Learn your songs, try to smash the monster while playing the correct notes for song activation, the go recital on its head. If you hit all the notes while smacking the monster, you activate the current song + the previous, essentially giving you a free encore.
Maestro is good at the beggining when you are not used to keeping up the buffs, but can be discarded later in favor of straight damage.
Also, you are not a "support", dont stay far away playing songs like a little bitch, smash that fucking head with the power of your music.
Godspeed anon

>>345304361
Only one song, doublenote White Red Red. It will give you attack +15%, extra movement speed and attack deflection. Everything else you can stack on while fighting.
Volcano has a ton of irritating small monsters holy shit
Alright I'm sure it's been asked or someone already pissed in their hands then splashed it in their face about MHG BUT should I buy it is it really more fun than MH4U?

You know, I actually agree with you but you should realize that in this particular case the complaint is fucking retarded.
For a complete newbie should I pick up Generations or 4U?
>>345257928I wish I could play this and 4U on a controller, I hate the 3DS layout.

Play everything all the time, especially if you don't have Horn Maestro on. More buffs on your team is never a bad thing, so unless you've just finished buffing everyone and you know it's not running out for a while, you should always be making music while bashing skulls.
Besides, most of the time, randoms won't wait around for you to play your music at the start of a quest, except occasionally against Elder Dragons and such where you can't escape the arena once you've gone in.
Just make sure to keep your White-White or Purple-Purple buff active all the time. It's what lets you move around ridiculously fast with your weapon out, along with keeping your attacks from bouncing.
Also, since HH's arts are kind of lackluster (the only decent one is the one that lets you play double notes all the time, and that shouldn't be necessary if you're up in a monster's grill all the time) there's one art that removes all status effects, positive and negative, and heals your health some for each status removed. It can save you in an emergency.

I fucking hate the fact that the Wii U was not successful enough in Japan and that they love handhelds so much because this feels like absolute SHIT on a 3DS.
MH3U on Wii U was perfect, MH4U feels cramped as shit, underwhelming on a tiny screen, and just plain bad when compared to home console versions.
>>345304836
mh on psp was also perfect.
Fucking 3DS
>>345304836
I think that was also the problem for me and that I couldn't get into 4U because of it, it being my first Monster Hunter game. The tiny shit 240p screen paired with what in my opinion feel like awkward controls. I think it was the game that made me realize that I'm not a huge handheld gamer.
>>345304895
Eh... not a big fan of handhelds in general tbqh
PSP versions also felt like shit to me since they only reminded me of how comfy the PS2 Monster Hunter was in comparison.
>>345305019
I don't remember having to attack using the second analog as "comfy", but to each its own I guess
still, fuck the 3DS
>>345305012
Handhelds are OK for certain genres but Monster Hunter definitely feels more comfortable on consoles.
Considering that most people play these games for hundreds of hours, ideally it should be as comfortable as possible, but money talks so tough shit I guess.
where the fug are wanchovies for that cockmonger
I was told Aera 3 of jurassic forest and area 1 of the arctic one but all I got was everything but wanchovies
>>345280161
It's actually a non problem though. There's a lot of shit mh fan ads will defend but this is literally a case of get good
>>345305080
Fair enough, I can see why people would not like that.
I would argue that playing 3U on a Pro controller was pretty perfect though; much more comfortable than any handheld, plus you had the choice to communicate using more than pre-set shoutouts.
>>345304790
jesus fuck tonfas look terrible
>air vaulting
>air DASHING
get this shit out of here
>>345305189
MH5 is going to be on the NX
Nintendo would be retarded to let this chance fly away
>>345305304
tryMeownster Hunters
>>345305080
MH is demonstratively worse on psp compared to 3ds
>>345305430
From what I understand, they're no longer as overpowered as they used to be when they were introduced. The new hotness is Dual Blades in most videos I've seen.
>>345296332
Speaking of retarded controls,
>Start and select are both forced to be the same function
>You can't make one menu and the other kick
What retard thought this was a good idea? 4U did the same stupid shit.
Maccao is love
Maccao is life
>>345305189
Playing a handheld laying on the couch or in bed is comfy as fuck. I strongly prefer handhelds to consoles or PC in a competition of comfy. Handhelds are a perfect home for a plotless, long-lived game easily played in 10-15 minute increments.
My hands are small though and I have no issues holding the 3DS for hours at a time.
>>345305430
You mean like what Aerial HBG can do?
Listen, I play Frontier, the weapon movesets are the absolute last thing I would complain about.Although, I'm far from G-rank. I've only recently got HR100
>>345305570
Oh boy the "comfy" meme again
>>345305661
We're literally talking about how comfortable it is to play for long periods of time. Not a game itself feeling "comfy".
>>345305570
I wish I were like you.
I want to play Generations but I am not putting myself through the same shit again, my wrists hurt after playing 4U for more than 2 quests.
Also, fighting a monster that is bigger than a mountain felt pretty underwhelming to me when I was looking at it through a screen smaller than my hands.
>>345304895
MonHun on PSP is garbage, not only do you have to put up with Sonys shitty control scheme, you also are stuck with terrible sound quality.
>current year
>still no paytoplay US server MonHun Frontier
Who Old3DS+CPP Master Race here?
>>345305536
let me guess, that shit he spews out is an extra-special one-time only element?
>>345304152
I'm surprised the 3DS can render that many Rajangs at once
>modern MH game with modern graffix on consoles never ever
>will forever be stuck on tiny screened handhelds still recycling decade old PS2 models and textures
>>345306241
>PS2 models
They made new models with Tri and then gave up.Which are, in fact, a decade old
>>345306241
Be careful. Some idiots here will actually defend MH being on 3DS only.
>tfw I'm too lazy to kill Bnahabras and Altaroths the "proper" way to get their parts
>just throw Plunderangs at them for shit
Is that wrong
>>345306241
Don't worry familia, NX is going to be a hybrid console.
>>345306353
I'm fine with MH being a handheld game and I don't see other viable handheld systems around. 3ds it is.
>>345306331
>Tri is 7 years old
>And Loc Lac is dead
>>345306416
how do you even kill them the proper way? they just explode when I hit them
jesus christ as if killing a bunch of those faggots wasn't enough
>>345306416
You can also use some really shitty weapon, or even better really shitty poison weapon. They seem to be programmed so that they don't "explode" unless you overkill them by a certain amount.
>>345306416
You never need to farm them and are better off farming hornetaur instead, both Meowster Hunters and Hunter for Hire small monsters give you loads of them
>>345306504
You're supposed to poison them or some shit and let that kill them. If they take too much damage (re: normal attacks) they explode without any harvestable parts.
Plunderangs take an item from what it hits though which has to be appraised later but it's helpful
Is guild style charge blade good?
>>345306627
I didn't play much of charge blade but apparently it got shit on really hard in Generations, and got gutted of it's most important shit. Has the longest clear times from what I hear
>>345306416
Poison smoke bombs.
>>345304895
>mh on psp
>perfect
I am not sure if this is bait or you are genuinely being a console war retarded faggot.
The claw was an uncomfortable, carpal tunnel giving piece of shit that you had to do to play properly on PSP.
I agree that this is better on a proper console, to say that it was better on PSP is like saying you love getting shot on the foot though.
>>345306689
Good
Charge Blade was fucking overpowered
Progression in MH games
Early game
>Piss easy, so it's boring
Mid game
>Fun, but ultimately easy
Late game
>Hard shit, soloable
Online game
>Cheesing with people to get gear
Late late game
>Impossible shit 'cos you're bored, end up looking up videos and cheesing it solo
That's it.
>>345306883
>Online game
>>Cheesing with people to get gear
I think this only applies with 4 man groups.
2 man hunts are pretty perfect desu; you get to do co-op with a friend but the game remains at least a bit challenging.
>>345264118
Even at locked red heat it's something like 15% weaker than 4U.
>>345306883
Progression for a newbie to the series
Early game
>I don't know what the fuck I'm doing
Mid game
>This seems unfair, how do I get better? This game is so unintuitive and shit!
Late game
>WHAT THE FUCK I DIED IN ONE HIT THIS SUCKS
Online game
>I'll just stand back and let them deal with this shit
Late late game
>Fuck this, going back to Pokemon Go
>>345264118
>>345307032
Red heat is a whopping 5% boost in Generations
>>345306985
>duoing gen w/ bud earlier tonight
>we get to our urgent to hit hr2
>blangonga
>it's a giant fucking rajang
>we both cart to the superman punch and barely scrape by
>start it up again
>completely fucking wreck it without either of us having to heal
The satisfaction is fucking real
>>345305443
This, lets just hope the next handheld has appropriate resolutiob for todays time
>>345307224
Anon do you have meat fingers?
>>345307302
what does screen resolution have to do with meat fingers?
I main gunlance.
I finished 3U solely using GL. From start to finish. Over 600 hunts with it. Solo'd almost all G-rank.
I finished 4U entirely using GL only. Online was terrible with being stun locked by your team mates and monsters being too fast to utilize your weapon thanks to more players. Finished all challenges anyway. Tried other weapons. Realized how overpowered GS, Dickstick and DW were after trying them. Even regular lance felt more satisfying.
So... Generations is in the mail and I'll get it next week. How bad is GL now and will I be able to do online hunts without worry of being fucked over or fucking over my team mates?
>>345307224
I honestly just want Nintendo to drop the two screens and other shitty gimmicks and make a Vita or something comparable. If it's what it takes, I would buy a rebranded Nintendo Vita with games on it, it's the perfect handled console.
>look up no details about this game
>be avid MH fan/veteran, played hundreds of hours in every main MH game released in the west since FU
>know everything I know just from the trailers
>finally get game
>get 15 hours in
>realize it's weird how there is no option to go to moga village
>look it up
>no moga village
WHAT IS THIS, WHAT THE FUCK CAPCOM?
What's with this shitty food system? It was fine in 4, now there's this dumb shit. What's even the point of combining the foods at the cook to add the dishes to the menu? It tells you what it combines with and everything else is grayed out. You're not actually doing anything. The monster intros are garbage this time, too. Everything else is dope but they fucked those two things up.
>>345308062
I agree with the intros.
The food system feels like they're just experimenting with something in a spinoff game, so they can see whether or not they should use it again for a main series game. And the answer is a firm no.
>>345307479They made it even worse than it was in 4U
>>345307479
>I main gunlance
you poor, dumb faggot. Hasn't 3 generations of abuse enough for you?they're worse here than in 4
Is the reason why some anons who have already played the jap version are saying nips only played this game for only like 6 months sinply because there is no G-rank? I mean, if the stars only extend upto 7*, and after that is just the leveling of tickets for the variants then isnt that very short? I'm about to get to hr5 and I feel the end is already so close.
>>345305957
Actually just the crystal status.
Introduced with the Scorpion duo and one of the rarer statuses in the game.
Mainly due to being a really mean one.
Also used by Garuba/Galva Daora.
>>345307810
Looks like they just included the Portable towns
>>345257928

>>345307479
I never understood why gunlancers and normal lancers have to get tripped 24/7. Theyre supposed to be the iron wall of defense. Rather than being tripped easily if the teammates breathed in their direction, if the teammates accidentally(?) hit lancers, their attacks should bounce off.
>>345308524

GLs have tripped me harder online than I've tripped them
And this is coming from a fucking LS user
Are the dual blades worth using?
I found this list of trading post improvement quests, but what are the English names for the quests in moonrunes?
For the love of fuck I don't want to go through every gathering quest to find out.
Help me choose, dudes.
Can someone tell me how
Daggers, Hammer, Charge Blade, Great Sword and Long Swords are in this game?
Which one with which style would make me not useless?
>>345307479
It's..okay. The neat thing is that Wyvernfire locks your heat level for a long time which if it's at red means you get a power boost.
The shitty thing is that it's only a 5% attack boost.
also this is a late post so whatever
