It makes you work for your victories.
If you fail it is by your own fuckups and if you win it is because of your own merits
>>
>>263532556

This.

MH & Dark Souls ftw
>>
Because there are no levels and armor, weapons and the skills you slot in only help you marginally.
It's a series where you will fail if you don't learn and adapt, developing your own skillset, and you will prevail if you use your brain and learn what is required from you.
This is also why there's people that don't get MH gameplay and will NEVER get into it.
It's like going to a job interview.
You're either in, or out, the guy that got hired can explain to you how he managed to do it more or less, his mannerism, his attitude, tips and tricks, but ultimately you're either cut for the job, or you aren't, there are no real shortcuts.

But it's not really. The combat in Gods Eater is pretty much better in every way.
Shit, even Soul Sacrifice is better.
What makes it even worse is Capcom is willingly gimping itself by putting the games on Nintendo hardware.
Can you imagine what a good MH game would look like on Vita or even PS4?

The price of the burger isn't the point, it's the face that they feel entitled to be able to sell a "new" game at full price when technically it's the exact same, but just with a little bit of added content, something that could've been done in DLC or something.
At least when Capcom resold Dragon's Dogma as Dark Arisen they lowered the price 20 dollars.

>>
>>263538404
I felt the same way. The key is to figure out how weapons ar similar and use them like that until you steadily branch out and develop skill with them individually.

It's a pretty easy switch between GS and Switch axe if you use the sword bit of the switch axe a lot.

It's also pretty easy to switch between Hammer and Hunting horn.
>>
>>263538404
Have you tried the Hunting Horn? I main Swaxe, and decided to try it out and I transferred between the two pretty easily.
When I want to try out a new weapon, I use it against G.Jaggi and Peco until I feel like I know the moveset well, then take it against Lagi/Ludroth to learn how it fights underwater, then start taking it against tougher monsters like Rathalos and Jay Leno. It eases you into the weapon, but still helps you learn it pretty well.

So long as you don't get the first in its gen it hardly matters. Tri for instance.

MHFU is pretty damn hard throughout, more rigid making you learn proper timing of everything. P3rd is the easiest of the bunch and has armor skills so good early it breaks shit. 3U is underwhelming at first but balances out.

This makes me so mad. Especially with being a gunner, which had the cooler armours in low/high rank but almost all their G rank armours look like shit.

And some armours don't even have differences. If Baggi X was the same as Jaggi X recolored I'd have made it in a heartbeat.

They are untill you're balls deep into G rank basically. Like the 8* shit, and even then Bowguns are still pretty good. Fights either go incredibly quickly or are slightly longer on average.

I wouldn't really reccommend bows for soloing though. HBG is probably the best of the three.

They're good, just don't expect the best kill times with them. They can apply status, so you can do fun shit like Sleep Bombing, para, poison & shit. Just get repetitive after awhile though. The effect is magnified since they don't do alot of damage, so you may occasionally think "Fuck this shit, I could've killed this nigga quicker with X weapon". Great support weapon as well.

Considering I've only pretty much used two weapons because I'm a fuck who only mains one weapon and one weapon only per game [Duals in P3rd and Bow in 3U], I can't really tell you.
Just go with what you're most comfortable using.
His chin becomes his weakest spot when its broken, and he's weakest to water. Poison also does some pretty good damage to him as well.

Anon please don't be retarded. At least inform yourself. Good lancer users don't block, they side step attacks. You stab, and dodge, block is an emergency back up, like Greatsword block. You don't rely on it ever, but it's there in case of an emergency, and I'm a GS user since MHF2

FU way more difficult than 3U or Tri. It's a good starting point so when you play 3U or 3rd you'll see how easier it is and breeze through everything.

Love MH but not Souls, they aren't really comparable either beyond both being difficult. MH is difficult but fair, there is a way of going about everything that can be solved and none of it is made to be particularly cryptic, everything is reliant on your skill as a player. DS is difficult but in a dickish, cheap way and is purposely obtuse to frustrate the player, very different philosophies at play.

If you've never played a hunting game before, I'd say go with GE over Monhun. It's easier to handle and the fights are pretty fun. Story is generic at best and fanfiction-tier at worst though.

If you enjoyed the hunting giant monsters and making equipment out of them aspect of it but want something more grounded and less anime, then consider MonHun.

I meant individually. I've never seen a whole set for less than $50 at the least, except the latest rage set which only has 6 figures as opposed to the usual 9.

>>263542795
It's not for everyone.

Besides, the "grinding" part is a misconception (sort of)
You grind when you want the rare, cool looking shit with a bunch of special skills. Technically, you can do just fine with a generic Jaggi armor set, upgraded to max defense and a mid-tier weapon, neither of which would require particularly rare parts.
Of course that only works if you know what you are doing, but this is not an MMO in which a certain monster is literally impossible to beat unless you are at a certain level or have specific equipment.

By import shop I mean like an actual store in my town's asian district. But yeah I see where you're coming from.
I'd do the same but there's generally only a few I'd want from each set, and the one set that I'd be willing to buy the entire flat of is also one of the most expensive for some reason.

I wish they made more figures that weren't flagships or cheesecakey girls though. The Abyssal Gunlancer and the 10th anniversary Hunter both look rad as fuck.

Its more likely than you think. People who print those ads have most of the time zero knowledge about what they are printing so shit like that can happen.
