>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.

Here anon
>>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.

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

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?
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
>>340447215
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.

>>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.

>>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

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?

>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

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.

Exactly so.

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

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

>>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
>Freedom 2

>>340454817
>>340454117
>>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?
>>340454442
Sort of, you still need plates and gems and shit eventually but that point is usually the weapon's final upgrade, which now also often requires special parts from the outraged version
There's also few if any armors that need rare parts to craft, but will need rare parts to max out their defense
>>340455457
>There's also few if any armors that need rare parts to craft,
Doesn't matter anyway, the best looking armor in the game is the starting armor. That shit is PERFECT and your gay if you wear anything else desu

If it was a G version, there would have been noise of it coming out in Japan long ago.
Not that I can't be wrong of course.
Capcom is inscrutable and insane so logic has no bearing on their decisions.
>>340455669
>Being a kirin slut
>>340455862
>>340455914
>>340456007
What's the matter? A bit too pent up? I can take care of that
>>340456076
What's annoying is that Kirin armor is NEVER good skill/slot-wise. On top of that, Kirin X/Z was fucking hideous in 4U.
>>340456076
>I can take care of that

>MHX comes out soon

It's tearing me up now first time I'm playing in 2016. I need my skill back.
>>340456076
>I can take care of that
>>340455364
It's more like
>iron sword needs 3 iron ore to craft
>needs 5 iron ore to reach level 2
>needs 2 bealite, 2 killer beetles, and 6 "ore" points to reach level 3
>an iron ore is worth 1 point, machalite is worth 4, firestone is 6, etc.
So while you can spend any combination of ores for the 6 points, you will always need the 2 bealite and 2 killer beetles
It goes the same for monster parts, to get my raizex hammer to level 2 I need 4 webbings, 2 gore magala feelers, and 8 "raizex materials" points, where a scale is worth the least at 2 and a plate is worth the most at 8
And then to max out my lagiacrus CB at level 5, I need some outraged lagi parts, a sapphire, and 8 lagi material points, does that make sense?
>>340456859
>and 8 "raizex materials" points
This shit just made me hard. It's going to be so fucking easy to make gear.
>>340456859
So they still have "farm for this" it's just less prevalent.
I played it to death 7 months ago
>>340456859
I don't know how I feel about this. Crying salty tears because you got 6 mantles but can't get a single claw is part of the experience.
>>340457003
Have fun with the special permit gear. Aka the only gear worth making in the game lol
>>340456859
So it's less about specific parts and more just "Have you hunted enough?"
>>340456004
There was no noise before 4G's announcement though.
>>340451395
>Well then, where's my giraffe monster at?close enough
>>340457292
Pretty much. Gems/Plates are NEVER needed, except for the final upgrades (with offer a minimal increase in damage usually). You can get through the entire game of MHX without ever having to need a gem/plate ever.
>>340457264
Special permit tickets are only a pain when making the armor, and most of the sets aren't really that great compared to a decent clownsuit
Just going up the list from 1 to 10 will get you enough tickets for two weapons
>>340457058
>>340457292
Basically, although I'll still get fucked over by uncommon mandatory parts from time to time
I've never played a MH game before, but it's a series i want to get into. I have a 3DSXL that i have two games for and it just sits and gathers dust.
Since there are a handful of titles, which should i start with?
>>340458001
The new one will probably be fine, people will be leaving MH4U soon too
>>340458001
If you want to try before throwing your all into it, download PPSSPP and download Portable 3rd or Freedom Unite.
P3rd has more of the newer mechanics, but FU has more content, both have online thanks to PPSSPP magic.
From there, you can then go off and purchase 4U currently with Generations soon to be released.
Thought right now it's up in the air about which one will have the lasting power since people seem rather booty busted with some on Generation's changes.
>>340458094
>sheathing and walking away instead of getting the carves and shiny

>>340458368

>>340458454
>He isn't a weapon and armor collecting enthusiast
I need everything.
And lots of everything.
>>340457854
It's a bit of a stretch to say you'll never need them, the same raizex hammer I used as an example needs a plate and some carbalite to reach level 3
In fact pretty much all of the new flagship weapons need a plate at level 3, and monsters like rathalos and zinogre need plates along with their regular high rank materials once they get there
>>340442959
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS5z0_wqBv0
>>340458723
>the same raizex hammer I used as an example needs a plate and some carbalite to reach level 3
That's because level 3 is the final upgrade of low rank weapons.
>>340434879
Not exactly.
Generations is going to add a lot of new shit that may create some pressure on new players. 4 different Styles that will limit certain moves.
>>340458740
Jesus fucking Christ, I had no idea monsters could just be shredded like that without even using traps or stuns or anything.
>>340452968
I don't have a problem with the CB being knocked down a few pegs but I'm seriously upset that they gutted it's moveset instead of it's motion values or phials or something. My favourite aspect of the charge blade is its unending combo potential. Any move could lead to any other move in a chain of a few actions. Now with it's neutered guard points, thrust->AED and thrust->AED->cancel removed I'm going to enjoy it a lot less. It's one thing to remove the GP->AED maneuver but it's another to have it continue to play out the attack you would have done, reducing its defencive viability drastically. Then they rub salt in the wound by adding in useless shit like more opportunities for guard points no-one wanted and regular guarding having bursts. It's like they're to lower the complexity of the weapon which is it's greatest draw for me.
I'll still use it though. Ever since I used the switch axe I thought to myself "man, if only there was a sns/gs hybrid, that would be the coolest" and then to my surprise they actually made it and it was everything I could want in a weapon; the designs were great, the animations felt weighty and satisfying and it was exceedingly strong to boot. Again, I'm fine with them nerfing it - but there's a difference between making it weaker and gutting it of what makes it fun to use.
Energy blade and the new charge blade designs look fucking sweet though (especially the amatsu one) and the bushido style seems to help un-break it a little bit, albeit makes "guard pointing" a doddle.
>>340458897
Well when you put it like that
>>340458909
MH4U was my first MH and I loved meme glaive because jumping was fun as fuck and throwing the kinsect was pretty interesting too I think.
Can you still do that?
>>340458740
Whats the issue here?
not a gunner fag, so fill me in please
>>340459106
It obviously depends on the weapon for the level, but in the example you gave, level 3 is the final low rank level. Notice that Level 4 onwards require high rank materials instead of low rank materials.
>>340459131
Yeah, you can still use Glaive, but now with the Aerial Style, you can jump with any weapon(with a price of certain moves removed)
>>340459161
They're tearing the monster to pieces while stunning it with mount damage, part breaking, and regular tripping, and on top of that they can't be hit because they're in the fucking air half the time.
On top of that you have to keep in mind that the HBG is super strong, so the monster dies in a pitiful amount of time. It's BULLYING
DON'T BULLY MONSTERS
>fps isn't increased while playing it on N3DS
why
>>340459161
Two things:
First having a team of 4 aerial pellet gunners is actually effective and could easily flinch monsters.
Second is that the pellet rapid fire from above will flinch your team mates better than ever when they're near a monster.
>>340459369
>>340459471
Oh yea how could I forget mounting. Mounting was my shit. I fucking loved that.
>>340459471
at least mounting damage got drastically reduced
its way harder to get mounts now
>>340459473
Japs don't understand the idea of better hardware makes a game run better.
>>340455079
What "actual" DLC are you talking about anon? I don't consider downloadable quests to be DLC senpai. Unless the DLC you are talking about introduces a new map or monster it's not really DLC it's just a custom quest that they are unlocking that uses assets already in the game. Also, of all the MH games to come to the west 4U is the only solo G version of the the game what we've gotten.
Freedom is the G version of MH
Freedom Unite is the G version of MHF2
Tri Ultimate is the G version of MHTri
And Generations(if it gets a G version) will be another game where we've gotten both the original and an expansion. I wouldn't say usually when talking about the only exception to a trend anon.
Anyway, If the next game isn't on consoles or PC I'm out senpai. I like handheld gaming, but I'm not wasting another dime or my time playing a game on a tiny screen(s). Monster Hunter has always had great aesthetics and if they make the console/pc jump their games will look amazing and be refreshing to play. Also, this way they wouldn't be able to get away with selling the same game(plus some extra content) for the same price.
>>340459313
I know, which is why going any further would just be arguing semantics over whether a low rank upgrade should be considered final
On an unrelated note raizex gear is fucking cool, I wish the SA and CB weren't cursed with element phials
>>340429964
>tfw already done mid air monster slam twice in 4U
>>340459802
The new flagship weapons (raizex, gamuto, tama, dinovaldo) are absolutely outstanding for element. They're the best, bar none, for elemental damage in weapons like LBG, Bow, DB, and so on.
Obviously they're not so great for raw reliant weapons, but anything element-dependent make them a fantastic choice.
>>340429964
doing this yourself is so fucking satisfying
I did it to a tigrex and lost my shit
>my two fav weapons are Hammer and Swaxe
>both got the shittiest Super Moves ever

So how's it run on a o3DS?
I remember having some frame drops on 4U
>>340459784
>I don't consider downloadable quests to be DLC
Well tough, because that's what DLC is
And have fun not playing MH, anon. Capcom won't be puting mainline on anything else for a while, unless they surprise us at TGS or whatever.
>Also, this way they wouldn't be able to get away with selling the same game(plus some extra content) for the same price
You don't really understand how Capcom works, do you, anon?

Ok, thanks. What's being changed in the new one that's so bad?
>>340460528
>and let you stay in sword mode permanently.
That's the problem.
>>340460592
It's not so much bad as polarizing.
The styles and arts can lead to stuff like >>340458740 that just removes all difficulty, as well as people complaining that some styles and arts just have no use while others are two strong.
Also the armor choice for late game play seems to be limited at best.
Not that I can say for certain one way or the other, I decided to just wait for Generations instead of getting X so I'll have to make up my own mind in a month.

What the fuck is wrong with aerial style, why does it make you invincible? He's literally jumping off of attacks.
>>340460945
>tfw poogie was replacedgood
>>340460945
Aerial gives you evasion +1 innately and ignores damage if you jump off of the monster.
Striker gives you Focus innately (for weapons that use focus like Hammer)
Bushido gives you evasion +2 plus instant retaliation (HBG/LBG instantly reload, Bow instantly charges to full, Hammer gets double damage charge attacks, etc)
Guild style is classic mode.
>>340460945
Because the somersault is worse than the regular roll in everything except distance and it needs to have iframes somewhere
Aerial is more for shits and giggles than anything else
>>340461171
Poogie is in three of the four villages, only Beruna gets the alpacas
>>340460945
what is that new gesture?
>>340461192

>>340460945
because the game is shit and aerial attacks in monster hunter are fucking stupid
>>340459857
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nttosdcda3I
>>340461564
There's no evasion +3 in MHX. Bushido's evasion is identical to evasion +2, but it gives you the "absolute" portion that I mentioned.
>>340461558

>>340461192
It's evasion+1 but I-frames don't activate at the beginning of the animation and the recovery is awful. The only thing you will avoid with it are low-grade roars like Tama and Cuga

>Well tough, because that's what DLC is
Didn't realize how far capcoms dick has progressed down your throat. I would recommend removing it before you choke to death. It's just custom quests they unlock you moron. I bet you're one of those fags that likes on disc "DLC" too. You aren't downloading a quest you are just removing the thing that is locking it. The items you can get from the quest are already in the game, but are just locked away. The US version of Unite has content from the Japanese version of the game that you can't unlock without using cheats. It's funny because they were so lazy they didn't even remove that assets when they localized the game.
>And have fun not playing MH, anon. Capcom won't be puting mainline on anything else for a while, unless they surprise us at TGS or whatever.
I will gladly have fun playing other games anon. Monster Hunter isn't the only video game available to me that I have to limit my fun to just MH.
>You don't really understand how Capcom works, do you, anon?
I just fucking explained to you that they like to milk the shit out of their series, so yes, I fucking know how Capcom works. I was part of their unity site for years and have actually talked with people that work for them about various things. I know they are a business, but it's a shitty practice, and people shouldn't be okay with it.
Instead of being crackwhores that need a fix, just wait for the full content to be released before buying it or wasting money importing it.
>>340463487
Anon, calm down. Just go play a game or whatever and stop caring about Capcom being dicks. Eventually, hopefully, they will realize repacking shit is a pointless endeavor and just give people the expanded versions from the get-go. I doubt they ever will, but at this point, there's no use caring outside not buying the gimped versions, which I hope most people do already.

Yes.
But in MHX you can hunt charms alone a FUCKING LOT easier than MH4U where they were the best of the best charms were linked to 140 GQs

Just saying if a XG was going to be announced for Japan it would have happened some time ago considering normal MH trends.
Unless they, for some reason, want XG to be a worldwide release I don't see why they would wait until after the localization was released to announce it.

>>340460346
>>340460528
>>340460603
Swaxe would be fucking perfect if they'd just let axe mode use phials.
Axe mode would get "burst" moves by consuming chunks of phial unlike sword mode getting a passive boost from constantly siphoning phial for every attack. Each "burst" would consume a quarter of the gauge. Burst forward lunge would propel you like a roll's worth forward and deal something like 30 motion value, burst upswing would send you flying upwards for a super high chop, burst side chop would become a roundswing, burst overhead chop would become nigh instantaneous like a fucking bullet.

>carting 3 times
>when you have literally every skill in the game
How?
>>340466290
You mean the thing with "weight shifting"?
>>340466406
It's more that Heaven style has no actual Sword mode, but you can shift into it for specific moves.
You can charge into a very fast upswing or combo for as long as your phial lasts, or using the phial to run across the area and end it on a double hit round swing or the same upswing as charging.
You also have access to a quick fade slash that if you go from it to a charge gives the next attack a small boost.
Problem is that the phial bar is about 2/3rds the length of normal, so it's quite advisable to use axe mode if you don't want to have to reload constantly since you can burn through your phial rather quickly.
It's time to learn a new weapon for MHX/Gen, /v/!
>>340466406
I found this webm a few weeks ago. Forgot to post it with my question.

>>340466824
He's being what I would consider sloppy in that webm honestly.
Could easily keep up the damage instead of running off to set up the charge.
>>340467049
They let you change the look the health/stamina bars for PC by extending it across the screen instead of the normal handheld length, also lets you shrink it to more normal sizes.
Still 150/150 max, though he's using Adrenaline in this case.
>>340467305
I don't mean actually unplayable. That was an exaggeration, but it's considerably worse.
I'd be willing to bet there'll be a new, better-optimized engine for MH5 on NX.

How's the actual weapon balance in this?
I remember something about bows being garbage in 4U and charge blade being the best at most things
>>340468720
Bows were anything BUT garbage in 4U, but they're even better in Gen thanks to every bow having both arc and power shots and new coatings and shot types. Charge Blade was nerfed into the ground.
Some styles are garbage, others are TOO good. Most weapons have at least one of each.
>>340466765
I don't want to but I must roll.
>>340468928
As an SnS main I'm so excited for Gen.
>>340468928
>Insect Glaive was nerfed into the ground.
fixed
>>340458094
>be great sword main
>MHX happens
>>340468720
Nothing too much wrong with Bow at all, Kama Sedition (Seregios) was just simply the objectively best bow in 4U. If we take 140 GQ solo time attack into account bow was far from the bottom 3. Emphasis on '140' and 'solo'. It obviously does not reflect multiplayer.
>http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/762804-monster-hunter-4-ultimate/72936200
Believe the TA meta is still shifting around a bit, but I keep hearing it's more 'balanced' in a sense. And of course, that doesn't necessarily reflect weapon performance outside of deviant monsters.
>>340468995
Lucky bastard.
>>340469351
Got to admit enough, CB got fucked over massively when it comes to Guild style.
>>340469351
Elaborate. CB's motion values are fucking dead, as are many of its combo options, plus yellow charge is weaker than red charge.
>>340466765
Learned GS, SA, SnS in MH4U
Learning Lance in MH3U.
rollan
>>340469752
I'm glad Adept style gets me red charge in sword mode then, as well as making axe mode a little safer to actually use beyond AEDs
>the nerfs to GunLance
Jesus fuck it wasn't even that great to begin with now your limit my ability to shell fucking hell capcom.
>>340470389
Your ability to shell is perfectly fine. WF will give you a two minute period to shell freely.
The issue is the potency of your shelling, which they reduced because gunlance can reach a point where its pokes are 5% stronger than they are in MH4U.
>>340469752
CB is mid tier at worst, AED punishing was simply replaced with AED sniping, and why in the fuck would you ever deliberately gimp yourself with a yellow charge
IG was nerfed in every aspect, its motion values were lowered, the essence buff was weakened, and the extender bug was removed and replaced with lesser counterparts, every other weapon got nice new toys while IG's arts are underwhelming and guild is objectively its best style, and on top of that its mounting niche is now shared with everyone
All that and it's still just balanced now, that's how good the IG was
>>340465270
I think randomized gear doesn't belong in Monhun. I'm on the fence about charms but I thought relics were a shitty idea.
>>340470389
>Net gain of +5% poking damage compared to 4U that you now have to work for on one of the weakest and most disruptive weapons
What the fuck were they thinking?
>>340468236
Japanese audience is their primary focus and there exist exactly 15 gaming pcs in all of Japan.
>>340470573
You know what? Relic hunting should have been transmog hunting. Discover old rathalos armour designs, and you can swap out the current rathalos armour design for that. So you could have a full set with each piece being a different design.
Charms are fine, I think. I build most of my sets based off the armour and then add charms on top - it's very, very rare that I build a set around a charm.
>>340470783
>that you have to work for
Mmmmmnot really. Just use shelling more consistently. Also you can use Wyvern's Breath art if it bothers you so much.
Also, Normal's full bursts are amazing for getting heat. Delicious.
You get to normal 4U poking power pretty much instantly, it's just getting that persistent red that takes a teensy bit of effort. The real shame is how much weaker the shells are individually.
>>340471128
But does the Gunlance really still have to be weak
I mean there's no problem having fun using the weapon but you think it could use a little more oomph
>>340470783
Don't bushido blocks instantly reload? That seems pretty sweet.
>>340470389
I'll take the nerfs since we got some mobility options now. Evade sheathe art is great
>>340471517
Gunlance wasn't too bad in 4U. Gonna be honest here, speedkill times typically aren't indicative of average times, they're usually just a really good match of weapon versus monster, plus some weapons having really high skill ceiling compared to other weapons meaning newtypes can do really insane bullshit.
Poking was already better than shelling on average in 4U, so giving it a 5% boost on top of that does the weapon just fine. Also, Gunlance is one of the few weapons where all 3 hunting arts are fucking fantastic.
>>340419080
>Do you plan on changing your main weapon?
Might give HBG a shot.
I started with 4U a couple of months ago, so I'm still pretty shit. Any HBG tips for 4U and/or Gen?
>>340471567
They do a strong poke while instantly reloading, and can combo directly into a slam. Adept style is a normal-user's wet dream.
>>340472140
I like how versatile the rocket punch is
>>340472140
the thing is they need to buff shells to make it so you want to shell for damage, not make it so that you are gimped unless you either wait for a hunter art and manage a gauge
>>340472140
Gunalnce was by far the worst weapon in 4U because shells don't scale. It's really good early game, begins to fall off at mid, and is complete trash at end game. It's straight up inferior to lance.
>>340419080
Started playing the Japanese version recently.

>>340472450

>Heavy Bowgun
eww but gunner weapons are fucking disgusting
>>340472215
Don't get used to limiter removal. It compromises the weapon dynamic between Light and Heavy bowgun types considerably.
Don't be afraid to use the shield if you really don't want to switch weapons to deal with something annoying. Ideally you wouldn't have to use the shield if you get really good with it, but for a new HBG user it's fine to use it as a crutch if not using it is affecting your ability to enjoy the game.
>>340472305
The hype thruster is pretty great.
>>340472310
Actually I kind of agree with them on their design decision with this game. Too many people were using either only the lance or only the gun, depending on the entry. It's the same problem I have with the Switch Axe and axe mode versus sword mode. As it stands, the new dynamic means that everyone's going to be poking and shelling roughly consistently.
>>340472450
I'll correct you there, as someone who used a lot of gunlance in 4U. Shelling was bullshit insane early game, just a little better than just right midgame, and just a bit lacking at endgame. If you didn't use Artillery God, that is.
And the shells do scale. In fact, that's the entire point of shell levels - to scale with your progression. The real issue is that too many gunlances fail to have level 5 at endgame.
And Gunlance was far from the worst weapon in 4U.
>>340472787
Admittedly i kind of wonder that, too.
>>340465990
I'll still be hacking in legal charms towards the end when I have nothing left to do, but thankfully relics are gone so I won't have to cheat for that as well.

>mean to cat players
thats weird. You'd think the japanese would like cats.
>gem for each fucking piece
Please tell me they atleast changed the droprate of gems to something higher.
>>340472946
i think the design in mhx for gunlance is fine, but they didnt need to weaken it to make it stronger, and it still makes you feel bad to use shells that do little damage compared to your pokes to keep up in damage with weapons that dont have to deal with a gauge system.
also shells dont scale in G rank, level 5 is weak as fuck and is not much of an upgrade compared to 4 which was the highest level of shell in 4 high rank that was possible. if they want shells to scale better they need to introduce more levels to have it scale into late game instead of having it drop off early G rank.
how many months until citra can run entire games like monster hunter at 30/60fps?
Well, to be honest the framerate is really bad and the first 3 star quests are nothing but gathering bullshit.
>>340472215
For Gen:
Get something that can rapid-fire Pellet shots.
Go Aerial.
Enjoy your wins.
>>340473352
Aerial GS is my favorite
>>340473352
Pretty good.
>>340472946
When I mean scale, I mean scale with damage. Level 5 does the same damage, regardless of the actual weapon.
And gunlance is definitely the worse weapon. It has no damage and no utility. LBG has worse damage, but makes up for it with it's amazing utility(status). The only weapon that comes close to gunlance's tier ishammer
>>340473335
The majority of hunter arts are bad to mediocre due to being slow and difficult to pull off compared to more basic arts like an instant panic roll or self buffs
>>340473884
Hammer's doing fine in X, they still haven't quite figured out what to do with hunting horns

Japanese players aren't exactly fun lovers, they're usually "MAX DPS get your fucking cat out of here." The same applies to most games with them. Seriously though, they will kick you from the room for that.
The gem drop rate still seems the same. Only some of the highest rank armors need gems though, lesser ones require plates or ferocious scales.
>>340474094
Isn't it that hammers are better at KO and horns are better at Exhaust? Plus horns got the whole enhanced note thing going on now.

>>340434367
I'm so self conscious about myself and playstyle that I wind up being a Lone Hunter anyway.
I'm terrified of multiplayer in MH. Monsters are way too unpredictable there.
>>340477827
It's not even that cats are that bad, they're definitely low tier but they can still compete with real weapons for times if you play a proper pierce+huge boomerang cat with the right skills
It's just that there's too many options and too many ways to fuck it up and be the shit tier joke option they appear to be
>>340478526
This is why I played with cats, to get a hang of chaos with targets
>>340477827
RNG for cat skills isn't bad actually
Each village has their own cat lady with different cats. It should take 4 resets max to get the cat with the skills you want
The real thing that is retarded is that cats need to level up to a minimum of 40 which is an absolute chore

>>340484990
B-But the Seregios memegun!
Who the fuck will still be playing MH4U? I hate that it will essentially collect dust because I got into it way too late after my friends all got G rank
>>340485038
I'm still playing it since I'm really not in a situation to buy new things right now. Also haven't made up my mind on generations.
>>340481198
You can cheat no problem on a monhun cia? I've been playing this game legit for years and I think it's time for me to have some unruly fun now that I'm a filthy pirate.

Rolling for secondary.
Okay like i said to all my friends
Whats so fun of MH series?
i played 4U and i got bored on the first quests please make me like this game since my friends play it every day
i have a PSP and a 3DS so i can play any
also what is the best way to enjoy it
>>340488373
Why don;t you ask your friends to ease you into it?
Nobody has joined the room yet so there's still three slots open for any anon.
>>340488373
You got 4U, right?
Play around with the various weapon tutorial quests and see what you like. MH games do start slow but they get better, 4U especially does not have a large tutorial phase like 3U did. Also, don't pick a weapon just because it can kill small fry faster or less awkwardly than the bigger weapons. Something like the Greatsword is not as clunky as you think it would be.
And playing with friends is the best way to play. Make them get weaker equipment and do some early quests with them.
Bump for ronery
Gonna do a little practice while I wait for more people
>>340466765
No ranged this time cuz none of my friends play MH anymore.
Anyone want to play some MHX?

I'm still using LR Tigrex armor, and it won't let me upgrade anymore. What set should I go for? Keep in mind I'm only to 7 stars.It feels awful because I'm not able to upgrade ANY of my fucking weapons either
>>340484026
I play it. There are always about 300 players whenever I'm on. I don't usually have a problem finding a group. Especially since I'm new.
>>340490351
you should really upgrade to HR armor for as far in as you are now. I'd say go for zinogre and gem out the -10 sense if you can.
Which weapon are you using? the seltas armor is good for weapons like CB and GL due to artillery. I'll have to skim my own armor list for more recommendations.
>>340490351
If you're really, really desperate, Tetsucabra S.
What do you actually use? That way I can give you some better suggestions.
>>340490804
>>340490931
Hermitaur IG, Najarala IG, the elemental SnSes, the elemental DBs, and the Hermitaur GS if I really need to cut some tails.
Also REALLY wish there was some kind of forewarning that the Gore Magala quest featuring Ace Junior being the retard was a fucking High Rank GM, not a fucking LR one. I thought a Tiggy SnS with AUXL would be good enough with the virus buff. Fucking hell was I wrong.
>>340491214
>there was some kind of forewarningThe rank requirements is the only clue that its a high-rank quest
>>340491359
Fuck me, I never noticed until now.
>>340491214
Do you have access to the tetsu and nerscylla hunt-a-thons? I managed to get by HR with nerscylla armor. I'd say both are good choices and look fine.
>>340491214
If you want Razor Sharp, Seltas S and Zinogre S provide it amongst other skills. Rath Soul (Azure Rathalos) provides it too as well as earplugs. If you insist on using GS I'd suggest going for Zinogre U or Lagiacrus (via Guild 6 Wycoon quest) before getting Kushala (Guild 7).
Otherwise you could go straight Attack Up again, or Double Gore (low + high pieces) which is S+1, C+2, and Biology.

Still empty
Where are you faggots
I really, really, REALLY hope someone comes out with the save data transfer for MHX to Generations. I hope it doesn't take long, the one for MH4 came out pretty fast.
I need to decide on what High Rank gear I want to go for until I hit G. Why does such much of the gear lack slots? It's fucking annoying
>>340419080
Shittiest MH I've ever played, and I played the vast majority with my favorites being Tri and FU. This game was absolutely terrible compared to 4U, so terrible I actually gave Guild Quests a second chance and went from never touching them to grinding nonstop. Only MH I played I can say I absolutely hated.
