>Monster Hunter Generations out now for everyone in NA.
Shit, meant the Generations DEMO is out for everyone in NA.
Where my Hammer bros at?
>>343361090
I would, but I can't seem to get the hang of all this new stuff.
These aerial styles all seems so useless and they changed a few of the weapons movesets so I have no clue what I'm doing anymore.Also the Owl is irritating.
>>343361637
Busy getting cucked by the new K.O. King, Exhaust Oil Shoryugeki Sns.
>>343361817
Aerial Style was the best thing to happen to the Insect Glaive, you can launch yourself forward across the map to chase monsters and to avoid attacks.
>>343361817
I hate how you're encouraged to run into the confusion bubble since it gives you such a huge opening on him.
The styles seem easy to pick up, its just the matter of what each one changes the moveset that it takes a bit to learn.
Ariel is fine but it really seems VERY situational and best for certain monsters
Aerial Hammer and DB is finger licking good. Also a cat is fine too.
I need a touchscreen d pad senpai
I can't decide which weapons with which styles to use, i'm used to GS, LS, DB, and IG.
>>343362175
Get a CPPro, you can have hunter arts mapped to ZL/ZR if you want or you can have ZL/ZR be L/R to save your shoulder buttons the abuse of MonHun.
It's also comfy as fuck.
>>343362253
dodge is good for everyone of those. GS and IG are great with aerial too
>>343362457
Thanks i'll try it now.
>>343362106
I dunno about IG, but everything else seems to be useless with it. Well GS and possibly DB excluded.Then again it could also just be because I'm shit at MH again.
>>343362109
Nah screw that, just walk around it.
You can still get a hit or two in even with your weapon drawn.
Please someone that have already played the japanese version tell me that there's a digital d-pad so I can move my camera around
Which weapon will make me feel like I have a huge penis??
>keep trying hammer thinking I'll like it
>never do
I don't even know why because I like Hunting Horn so much. I even tried Aerial Hammer because a lot of the aerial styles I've tried so far have been fun, but it still doesn't feel good to use.
>tfw no rooms posted
>>343362876
Deviljho GreatSword
>>343362106
What SnS style is best? Already using Aerial SA and Adept Bow.
>>343363131
das a straight up dick dude
>>343362394
how's the CPP for 3ds XL? isn't it a bit too big
Mained lance in 4U god damn the last hit in the 3 poke combo locks you in a way too long in an animation in Generations might actually switch weapons because of this.
>>343363610
only if you have tiny hands
>>343363610
If you're a manlet with small hands it might be big. If you're a man and have decently sized hands its no problem.
>>343363772
Use Striker.
>>343361090
Is it still the same exact 3DS game they've been rerealeasing for 10 years with a couple new skins & abilities?
>>343363336
I liked Striker best for SnS when I played Cross, reason being it lets you use 3 arts, and you only lose the backstep attack which isn't that good anyway. Use Circular Force, your choice of an evade(either full evade or battle ready), then either Shoryuken or Blade Dance. Circular Force has I-frames, and if you use the Evade art you'll always have an option open to avoid damage.
The Frog Stick girl in the demo is the cutest
>>343363834
The only style I hadn't tried yet glad its the good ol lance what the hell is the point of Guild then if its just a shittier Striker?
>Game boy colour
Stop.
>still no MonHun on PS4/Xbone/Wii U/NX/PC/Vita
Literally ANY other system would be a better choice.
so do any of the styles make gunlance salvageable?
I just want to blast things
>>343362106
Yea. I've been using sns in the demo and that art is hilariously op
>>343364609
No. Gunlance is now only for prolonging hunts by tripping ALL your teamates.
>>343364609
Aerial I guess since you can full burst after your jump attack lands.
Or just use the full burst combo on guild style. A to Shell then A to reload then X to slam and then A to Burst. A>A>X>A
WHERE ARE THE ROOMS. YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE ROOMS.
>>343364935
Make one. i'll join
Cats are fucking fun
Please tell me the Dante costume will make a comeback.
Also make cat rooms
>>343365025

>>343365275
If you check youtube /eshop it has clips for the currently out dlc catsets.
But probably. They've already broken out okami etc.
Cats are op if you use them right.
Plus they're stupidly fast and mobile. Far more than the most mobile hunterxweapon combo. Their dodge seems as huge as ee dive.
3/4, come on let's GO.
>>343365275
Forgot. Remember to get big boomerang + pierce 'rang cats when mhg is out.
>check my email today
>find i've had a monster hunter generations demo code in my inbox since the 17th of june
>>343364468
>Literally ANY other system would be a better choice.
Yeah, the Ouya would have been such a better choice.
(also, there is MonHun on Wii U and PC)
>>343364609
Aerial and Adept lets you burst faster, which is basically required now with the heat gauge.
give it to me straight bros
how's switch axe?
>>343366156
Demon Riot is pretty fun
I'm curious about the Greatsword's Ground Slash.
It's animation gives it a ton of impact, but I'm unclear as to where it sits on the power scale between the slap and the Lvl 3 charge.
Also how does Brimstone work exactly? I know you can use it as a counter of sorts, but I'm still unsure.
>>343366156
Play demo. Its fairly good. The demo swaxer has raizex? (Sp?) Set and an semi ultra aed like attack art along with a support art that seems to Au or something.
So is adept actually good on gunners that just seems like asking to get one shot at high ranks?
>>343366156
Good except the trance slash hunter art. Flashy but useless
>>343366156
You mean Sword?
Reload and sword power arts make axe useless unfortuantely
>>343366837
Will the Axe ever be useful?
>>343364468
This year's MH is probably not a 3DS title
>>343366932
It got a damage buff, it's just overshadowed by the hunter arts. You use Demon Riot, then use the reload art (which also boosts affinity) and riot will still keep on going, thus making it possible to be in sword mode constantly.I thought axe mode was actually pretty useful in 4U, feels much better than it did in 3U at least
>L button only works 30% of the time
>circle pad's rubber keeps falling off or sticking to thumb
>left speaker kind of fucked
That N3DS can not come quick enough. Good hunt, guys.
>tfw gunlance nerfed into the fucking ground
>>343367552
They need to take away power from the GL to put more into the GS.
>>343367552
Naw, basically the changes it got means it went practically nowhere
>>343365603
That was my first online hunt since I just got the demo
For some reason I thought my strike arte would negate narga's roar. Also the adept hammer bro was pretty cool.
>>343367645
>>343367675
The heat gauge punishes the shit out of you for making one little mistake. It seemed neat at first but the penalty for overheating is a really long period where it's disabled and you're stuck on the reduced damage. It doesn't help that the more viable styles encourage full bursts, which trip fucking everyone.
I might be wrong on this one, but IIRC shell damage took a nerf too and there are no more level 5 shots, and only a few (shitty gimmick) GLs with level 4 shots.
>>343367523
>Top screen doesn't click into place.
>R and L buttons don't work half the time.
>Circle pad's rubber is long gone.
>Touchscreen doesn't even recognise that it's being touched on the left side.
These things are not very sturdy, I dropped imy 3DS from 30cm above the ground 1 time.
>>343367798
>someone thinks I'm cool
Oh gosh, I wasn't prepared for this.
How's hammer in this one? Tried it out a little bit in 4U and was thinking of giving it another shot when Generations comes out.
>>343367523
The only problem with my launch OG one is the R button which I have to blow air into for it to work and the circle pad rubber that fell but I super glued it back together.
Nintendo needs to redesign their fucking triggers sincs my DS suffered the same fate. Probably because of my sweaty hands.
>>343368216
It's not FU tier but it's better than in MH4U
>>343368216

>>343368234
The triggers never last, on my sp neither triggers work.
>>343368216
Aerial Hammer is really fun.
you can do some crazy shit.
Any rooms up?
>>343367972
>>343368234
>>343368423
What the fuck happened to Nintendium? Did they just run out of it or something?
>>343368216
Bushido hammer is very strong
>>343368554
Nintendo is made for children. You're no longer a kid. It was never that durable, just plastic.
>>343367523
>circle pad gets stuck in one direction sometimes
>shoulder buttons don't always work
should probably upgrade one of these days
>>343368460
POST CAT ROOMS
Is it me or did they actually make multiplayer last a lot longer than the 4U demo?
>>343367897
seriously, it's like capcom wants hunters to launch each other all over the place
first they forced longswords to spam spirit combo, now they've forced gunlances to spam full burst
next thing you know HBG is going to be worthless without siege-pellet
>tfw you're too shit to play Adept properly
>>343368797
They're probably aiming for a coordinated hunt. Since the japanese play a lot locally they can tell their team to back off when he's about to do something that might fuck them up.
>>343368670
>It was never that durable
This nigga.
>>343368994
Gunlances aren't even worth coordinating around though
>try honking horn aerial and adept
>not very fun
Well shit, that's depressing. I guess striker would be ideal for maximizing damage and buff output but it's still a bummer.
>>343368821

>he forgot that one mountain climber who's only working equipment was a O3DS when he reached the peak
>>343371112
To be fair cutting the tail off in this demo isn't easy. I cut tails for days in the actual games but they don't give you the best equipment here.
>>343370986
I'd join.
been trying adept bow lately it seems very plausible
>>343370259
I don't like that MAccao doesn't actually control his minions.
When Great Jaggi calls it can send all the mooks ultra-aggressive
When Baggi calls it's mooks will circle you and try to flank you with sleep spit
When Wroggi calls it's minions attack you from the front
Dromes all call minions to join in the pin animation
When Maccao calls it's basically just another taunt, it does nothing, instead the mooks will randomly tail lunge at you without being told to.
>>343370986
I'm game
>>343371291
Adept Bow is currently considered one of the best weapon and style combination in the game. It's crazy.
HBG is really fucking good with it, too, but it doesn't get anything as good as insta-charges like the Bow.
>>343371123

eh i might as well wait til the game actually releases
besides i just want to git gud at drawing pron
Please explain to me how the fuck to play as a cat well in the demo.
>>343373561
I want to.
How's the GS compared to 4U?
>>343373642
This is finally relevant to a current game again.

>tfw more hype for stories than generations
>>343373772
I wasn't, but then I saw Peco.
I really miss Peco.
>>343373772
Same but Capcom wants stories to fail and the cancer that is gen to be the new standard.
Is Steve in Generations? What about just his weapons?
>>343373767
But this was drawn during 4U days so it technically was never relevant to the current game until now.
>>343373884
Yes and yes.
>>343373718
Still good, although it's hard to judge it's potential thanks to the set you're stuck with in the demo.
So far I really like it, especially goofing around with Aerial Style.
>>343373950
I had no idea. Truly, we live in glorious times.
Are there any weapons where Aerial/Adept are actually the best?
Other than guns, I don't wanna touch those till my CPP comes in.
Playing as a cat can be done anytime in the game right?
Like swapping characters or something?
>>343374113

You're entitled to have an opinion, anon, even if it happens to be incorrect.

Nopasscode probably cos he shouldn't need to post it for you should know what it is by now
>>343361090
for anyone wondering which weapon is the new OP as shit, that would be longsword bushido(adept)
the easiest would be aerial greatsword.
>>343374605
>horrible fight.
I disagree.
>>343374412
not found.
What do the different styles do? The in-game descriptions aren't very helpful
>>343374802
You are wrong.
>>343374940
It is you who is incorrect.
>>343368216
Everything hammer does SnS does better
>>343375238
No I am completely correct. You must be brain damaged if you consider peco a good fight.
>>343374940
speak for yourself, Qurupeco is one of the best starting monsters period
>>343375337
And what exactly is so bad about Peco?
>>343374854
Guild is basically 4U style. 2 arts, nothing fancy moveset wise.
Striker focuses on Arts (it can use more than the other Styles) in exchange for losing some attacks
Aerial consists mostly of aerial attacks, vaulting, and mounts
Adept rewards last second dodges immensely. Hard to use properly, but arguably the strongest style in the right hands
>>343374854
allow more special moves, or change the traditional style of certain weapons(e.g. greatsword aerial loses the ability to charge weapons on the ground, but you gain the ability to level 3 charge while in the air)
>>343371812
>thank someone for having as little involvement in a hunt as possible
>thank someone for picking one of the worst weapons in the series
>>343375486
>Hard to use properly
It is? I mean, it varies by weapon but the window for evasion boosts is pretty forgiving.
>>343375371
Explain why.
>>343375439
Simple and boring moveset, inflated health for a starting monster and the monster calling and running gimmick which is a fun concept but just a chore as a gameplay feature.
I've already said it's got a great design but it was a really shitty low level monster, R ludroth was far more fun.
We did it, cats.
>tfw sweatdrop when 5 minutes popped up
That was some fun horn partying.
>>343375634
>running gimmick
>R ludroth was far more fun
you seem confused
>>343375579
For new players I mean. For veterans last minute dodging is hardwired into the brain, but people new to the game/monsters themselves might find it difficult to use properly
>>343375634
>R ludroth was far more fun.
no it wasn't. who the fuck told you that lie.
>>343375439
his shit taste, Peco is a good monster
>high reaching head but strong wings to teach you to time and aim attacks
>delayed tailswing to ready yourself for future monsters who have counters for standing behind them
>When it sings it also exposes a weakpoint
>high importance on using paintballs since it can summon monsters
>outside of wings it takes decent damage everywhere on it's body
>long wind-ups and good audio cues on all it's attacks except charge
>visually appealing design and is unique
It's a perfect pre-roaring monster
>>343375748
>>343375854
So it was all memes and no argument, just like a peco fan would be.
>>343375634
>Simple and boring moveset
It's a starter monster, it's not supposed to be super flashy or anything. Hell, the flints and monster calls and buffs make it far more interesting than most starting monsters. Not tough, perhaps, but neat.
>inflated health for a starting monster
That's a joke, right? Even at the very beginning of the game Qurupeco dies easy.
>monster calling and running gimmick which is a fun concept but just a chore as a gameplay feature.
Do you even dung bomb, bro?
>R ludroth was far more fun.
I love that spongy bastard but I highly disagree. He's still a pretty okay fight, though.
>>343376048
They didn't even fucking use any memes. Hell, the main guy arguing against you also likes your favorite monster. What the hell kind of shitty starter monster elitist does one have to be?
>>343375562
how are they not involved? they're shooting shit, isn't heavy bowgun generally one of the highest dps weapons in each game
>>343376052
>Even at the very beginning of the game Qurupeco dies easy.
Wrong, fucking Rathian died quicker than peco even if you aimed at the inflating chest and head non-stop.
And those wings had some really dodgy hitboxes for some angles.
>>343369379
Nigger, Striker just has rapid poke on A.
>>343375708
That was fun.
And they said cats weren't useful.
>>343375562
>being this wrong
I bet you use LS
>>343375562
>implying good gunners aren't the best fucking thing ever
That's why the meta for 4u that has evolved over time is 4 greatswords and not 3 hbg 1 lbg.
>o wait...
>>343376136
>'no ur wrong lol"
>not memeing
Also who said anything about my favorite monster and even if they did why would it matter if they liked it or not? My only point is that peco is hardly missed outside of its armor design.
>>343376313
The demo cat is pretty shit, all things considered. No good buffs, subpar healing and no boomerang upgrades. It's still insanely fun to play an all cat room against Narga, though.
>>343376409
>disagreeing is a meme
I hate today's /v/. I really do.

Outside of the EXTREMELY FUN feature of it fleeing early on often you just described any starter monster, friend.

Why are you replying to yourself?
Jesus. All I wanted was Peco back.
>>343378119

Does Generations really have alternate textures for New 3DS?
Does the demo have them too?

>>343379585

Like a twitter hashtag or something. Not everyone can afford to replace their system or has access to warranty support.

Is there no scale for multiplayer health? Is narga just as beefy with 4 dudes as he is with 2? Cause me and a friend couldn't down him for shit earlier
>>343383307
>Is narga just as beefy with 4 dudes as he is with 2?
Yes. There's offline health and online. Online one doesn't scale with the number of people, it's constant. It's roughly balanced around 2 people though, 4 usually means you're just bullying the monster on easy mode.
>>343383307
Yeah, pretty much. That's how the demos roll. Single player is easy as shit but multiplayer gives you the same crap equipment with way more health.
>>343383414
Well now I just feel shame
>>343383707
Demo is actually more tightly tuned than the proper game. Your weapons are shitter and you have less time.
In the full game you should be able to solo multiplayer quests in 15-20 minutes.
>>343383707
Well you shouldn't feel that ashamed. In the full game it's balanced for 2 people because in there you'll have proper armors, skills, and weapons for the specific monster you're fighting. The demo's loadouts are all pretty mundane and low key, so it's expected that you wouldn't be able to do as much damage as you'd hope.
>>343383414
I doubt that. It has way too much health to be a low rank guild narga. The damage it deals might be low rank but I think its health is in between guild LR and HR.
Which monster would you gf?
>>343383939
Nah, it's just your imagination, and crappy demo weapons.
Monster health got buffed across the board in X. It'd take you 45+ minutes to kill a HR monsters with LR weapons.I've done it, I know. Unless the intruding flagships in LR Village quests have even more health than HR ones.

Don't you worry, SnS has a weapon art, a very wide circular slash, that when fully upgraded sends people flying like a superpound or GL shelling. And it charges super quickly, especially with Striker style, and it grants the user invincibility for the entire duration of the animation, so it's gonna be used constantly.

You don't. Just pick another weapon.
I am having fun with the gunlance and getting pretty good times too
is it really that bad?
I've mained Lance since Freedom 1. I played a lot of 4U and used a hell of a lot of charging attacks and jumping charges for mounts.
I'm having a lot of trouble executing the charge consistently. I keep doing the counter poke on accident. I could do that shit on a split-second notice in 4U. Anyone else notice this or am I just seriously rusty? And I can't seem to jump charge at all, is that only for aerial?
>>343387347
I've played almost any weapon, GS, SA pretty much sticked as my favourite but I still go back to GL so now and then, those blasts are just way too much fun.

Fuck off.
>>343389404
Similar to SoTC only in that it's all boss battles, all the time.
Select a mission to be teleported to arena-like environments and kill a boss monster. Kill the boss monster over and over and take use its shinbones until you have enough shinbones to build a cool sword so you can kill bigger monsters.
No real story, no exploration, just boss battles and constant satisfying progression both in player skill and equipment strength.
Having a hard time getting the hand of the new abilities.
For starters the fact I gotta touchpad click distracts me. not only is gonna bother the fuck out of me when i configure the lower screen, it also feels like i have to stop and use them.
Also I don't get how half of them work. Gotta try out the demo more but anyone has some tips of how to sue these things right?

Also I'm using CB and i tried to use the first one only for my guy just do a charging animation with nothing happening.

>>343389631
You're probably not gonna use many of them except the ultimate dodge in the full game, since they're mostly shit. Only a few weapons benefit from using those.
>>343389639
>It's literally nothing to do with SotC
That is objectively wrong. How does it feel to be wrong?
>>343389795
If you got an N3ds, circle pad pro or hori slide extender you can map the other 2 to the ZL ZR from what I've read.
>>343389795
>he tutorial explained the buttons but not much on what the arts do
In the demo, press L/R on the weapon selection screen to read the arts descriptions.
>>343389881

Please don't bait.
>>343389971
I've played through the entirety of 4U on a small black o3ds. It's fine.
In Generations the arts will eat up at least two small squares on the touch screen grid (they don't have to use all 6). So there's exactly 4 squares to put a virtual d-pad in. Although, if you don't want the map on your top screen, you'd have to do without the quick item shortcuts.
>>343390060
As playable as with a o3ds
so, clunky shit
Trying out sword n board in the demo right now. These oils are killer. Nice combos with this thing, too.

>>343389584
And do all the monster hunters have completely different bosses or are they partially recycled over and over? Basically I'm asking if there is any value to a new person to pick up the older ones instead of just jumping to the latest game.
Also, is it meant to be coop?
>>343390226
Yeah, true. I'll probably still be running the Energy Blade on my CB in Gen, because it's just so satisfying when it lands and results in a tail cut. Especially on Dinovaldo.
>>343390117
Literally nothing to do with sotc means it literally has nothing to do with sotc. That is false. They share a few concepts, key word being a few.
Regardless, you are wrong.
>>343390328
Even though it seems pretty shitty, I want to use Brimstone Slash. I have to.
>>343390301
In other games most monsters have subspecies (not in Gen though), which are "recolors" but do have somewhat different moveset.
Plus you should expect monsters from the same families, like, say, flying wyverns, to share some of the animations.
But other than that, each and every monster is a unique boss fight.
>>343390358
>it's a semantics bait
Please anon.
>>343390427
>not in Gen though
Deviants are the same thing.
>>343390301
>if there is any value to a new person to pick up the older ones instead of just jumping to the latest game.
These games come out in generations (not to be confused with the new game, Generations). Each generation featuring new monsters, zones, weapons etc.
The new ones usually try to include some of the old ones as well, but some monsters don't make it into the next game, so you'd have to play the old ones to fight them. Although between 4U and MHGen I don't think there's any monsters you wouldn't encounter in either of those.Except Peco.
>Also, is it meant to be coop?
Yeah, sorta. It's entirely soloable, and you SHOULD be able to solo monsters to be called a hunter, but it's really balanced around co-op play. Not to mention it's much more enjoyable, especially with friends.
>>343390520
I guess. They're more like subs than variants.

You are wrong, calling you out on it does not make it bait. They might share only a few concepts, but one of them is quite important. They are both games where you only fight bosses.
Even if I ignore the fact you used the word "literally", you are still incorrect.
>>343390691
They've just changed recoloring to retexturing.
It's nothing but a rebranding of subspecies.
>>343390779
That is factually wrong because you don't fight only "bosses" in MH.
And on top of that the fighting mechanics and entire design of SotC and Monster Hunter are nothing alike other than the protagonist (maybe in case of MH) wielding a blade.
That comparison makes no sense whatsoever, it's the same thing as saying that MH is like Zelda, because you can use a SnS and that's a similarity.
>>343390785
Not entirely true.
Deviants have more going on than just subspecies. They have quest leveling, special arenas, and probably most importantly unique armor skills that only activate on full sets and can't be mixed with other pieces.
>>343389404
It's Dark Souls boss fights with actual good and stable mechanics/hit boxes.
Why did the artist pretty much copy this artwork, when this one's clearly the more superior one.
>>343390910
That's entirely on the gimmick equipment mechanics than the monster fight itself that's tied to it. Else you could say that all monsters with GQs had more going for them in 4U because of relics.
Deviants are subspecies with a new name.
>>343390947

There's always 4-5 ideal weapons for each weapon type and the rest is subpar no matter the skill setup.
And then there are weapon types that among speedrunners are always the definitive kings whole some take more than double the usual clear times.
>>343391189
They will. I enjoyed 4U endgame because randomly generated relics were just enough incentive to give purpose to the endgame.
Once you've done with Deviants and NotFrenzied monsters in Generations, there's nothing left.I won't miss apex bouncing though.

That's a common misconception.

There's a difference between "this monster takes 9 minute for a good player and 7 for a good player with this weapon" and "this weapon three shots a boss/player"
So when will we get Monster Hunter on anything else than a handheld?
I really tried to get used to the controls but I just can't do it. I'd prefer a PC release but please, just give me anything but a handheld.
>>343391642

>>343391562

I'm not an autist who thinks he's entitled to ALL the best equipment. I can live without a perfect charm or a relic.
>>343391602
It is you retard. Only time poise mattered not in PvP was against the shitshow that was 4kings where you had a DPS race else you'd be ganged up by 2-3.
>>343391602
>this weapon three shots a boss
I'd like to see an example where that happens.
And in the end MH monsters have such huge health pools that's an unfair comparison other than X weapon killing a monster in 2 minutes and another in 5 during a speedrun.
>>343391726
>I'm not an autist
To me it sounds like you are since your concept of fun is the possibility of a rare reward instead of the fight.
>>343391704
I did and I enjoyed them, but I could never get the multiplayer to work with four people, something that's kind of essential for Monster Hunter.
I played Tri on Wii a lot with my friends until the servers were shut down, but they don't wanna buy a WiiU so that falls flat as well.
I really, really like the series so it's kind of sad to see it stuck on a handheld (although a lot of people seem fine with the controls). We're currently all playing Monster Hunter Online but the incomplete translation kinda sucks.
>>343391891
>multiplayer
>something that's kind of essential for Monster Hunter.
>>343390301
Jump straight to the latest game, old monsters get recycled and new ones are added. Not every monster is in every game, but you're definitely better off playing the newest.
Co-op is a huge part of the game, but for the love of god try to complete the solo campaign first. If you just get carried through multi from day 1 you'll be a dead weight.
Buy the newest one, play the solo campaign, THEN go to multi. I hope you're ready to lose thousands of hours of your life.
>>343391815
It seems you don't understand that MH is a gear treadmill to begin with. GQs aren't any different from the regular quests.
First you attack the RNG aspect of it, then you claim you play the game for the gameplay. Then how the fuck can you say GQs were bad when they offered a hell of a lot more gameplay and longevity to the game AND offered substantial rewards for it, when endgame in MHX has none of those?
Either make up your mind and formulate what exactly was wrong with GQs, or stop these baseless incoherent attacks on the mechanic and my person.
>>343392019
>kind of essential for Monster Hunter.
i think you mean getting good.
everything can be solo'd
>>343391815
Not that guy but MH for me has always been a blend of both. Just one or the other won't do.
I have a ton of fun fighting the monsters but directionless hunting without a target drop doesn't last long. The drop is the push to go fight that specific boss. It gives a definite sense of direction and progression, even when chances are slim as with Relics.
Nice narga hunt, lads. That was my first time using SnS against him. Probably not my best showing but getting KOs is still fun.
>>343392125
>MH is a gear treadmill to begin with
Only for progression which can always be sped up by certain sets which are strong and don't need rare drops.
And by progressing you then start fighting new monsters or old ones with modified movesets in new areas. That's the meat of the content right there.
With GQs the grind becomes meaningless number crunching and RNG, it's not fun and you're lying to yourself if you say otherwise.
The only exception would be players who enjoy doing their best soloing 140 monsters but you've already admitted not being those.
>>343361090
Is it better than 4u?
I've been playing since freedom 1 and I couldn't stomach more than high rank in 4u
Fuck slopes and fuck climbing.
No really FUCK SLOPES
>>343392151
MH has always been just an excellent fighting system for me, if I enjoyed mindless RNG farming I'd just play some Korean MMO.
MH alone gave me new hope in action games where outside of it all you got would be button-smashers with automatic locking on and no real strategy.
however I have to admit that Gen is a big mess in this regard, they just went crazy and threw everything at it, feels like a B team game.
>>343392369
Just as bad in that regard.
And it's still a 3DS game so don't expect good camera controls and ergonomics without a 3rd party grip.
>>343392039
I don't think a player needs to completely clear the story before they go online. In 4U I had a great experience zig-zagging between offline and online quests. I'd play a chunk of offline and then go online until we met a monster I hadn't killed solo before and then drop the group to go back offline. It varied up the game substantially, and I was able to go online when I wanted to farm a rare part even during Low Rank progression. Not to mention I got to play the online Low Rank stuff when it was still relevant instead of blowing through it with superior gear.
>>343392369
i rely dont see why this is a problem
>>343392523

Welp, I guess I get to be the lonely creeper that plays 4U while everyone else plays Gen.
Anyone who plays on a n3ds with o3ds experience care to tell me if the difference is worth it controls wise?
>>343392651
Since yesterday.
>>343392317
>it's not fun and you're lying to yourself if you say otherwise
I guess the argument could be stopped right there, because you're obviously just projecting. But I'll try to explain to you why you're wrong one more time.
The grind becomes meaningless when there's no progression to be had anymore, which is not the case with GQs, because relics, while have low chance to be real good, also offer quite substantial upgrades over the best craftable weapons too.
And the guild monsters get new movesets compared to regular ones when they start going frenzy/apex on high levels.
In addition, relics offered you a previously unseen in MH opportunity to get gear with good stats AND the looks you want. Because often the best weapons and armor stat-wise, can look rather unfashionable.
But once you get the best crafted equipment in MHGen, or any other game before 4, that's it, the progress stops completely and absolutely. Now, for YOU personally it might have stopped at the same point in 4U, and you just dropped the game at that point, just like you will with Gen. But other people did not, it was just as meat of the content as progressing through the ranks was.
>>343392639
Not really, ask /mhg/.
To me having to get 3rd party stuff to make the game bearable is an insult to the consumer so I just deal with the cramps that come without it.
"Hori pad" is a name that was thrown around a lot, though.
>>343392651
Just switch to the old typing captcha.
>>343392791
>because you're obviously just projecting.
You're the only one in denial, this is basic logic here.
You're stating that the possiblity of a better relic is what captivated you to the game, not the repetitive fights, because you claimed that without them you lost the will to play it.
This is just addiction, not enjoyment.
>But once you get the best crafted equipment in MHGen, or any other game before 4, that's it, the progress stops completely
Nothing is stopping you from fighting the monsters over and over again, it's the same thing as 140 GQ grinding.
Just shat this out, did I miss anything important
>>343393060
I've heard the term motion values said over time in these threads. What the hell are they?
>>343392532
That's both fun and sensible, but I'm a cynical cunt and don't want anon to accidentally become a G-rank shitter.
>>343393298
Motion values are the % of the weapon's damage that it uses per hit.
So while a weapon might have 200 raw, a quick slice might only have a motion value of 25, so it only uses 50 points of damage for the damage calculations.
Very few attacks reach or outright go above 100 motion value, which at that point is using the full raw value plus some.

i only saw 3U on the WiiU, what's the other game?
>>343393489
Ah, I see. Damn, that sucks for IG. I know it dealt ridiculous damage in 4U but from what everyone says about it they went a little overboard in Generations. At least it's not CB.
>>343362394
I wish there was an option to switch them, I'd rather have arts on L/R and use ZL/ZR for inventory/dash.
>>343393740
CB is still very usable, but it's now kinda clunky as fuck.
How's Longsword damage wise in MHGen/X? I really like it in the demo, it's my favourite weapon out of all the ones I've tried even though I hated it in 4U.
It doesn't seem like it changed much, but I had the most fun with it for some reason.I fear playing with other people while I use it though.
Also, Is Guard pointing still a thing?
>>343394030
all i used in the 300 hours of MH4U is CB and i think im going to switch to lance or LS or somthing. i can stand all the changes it has apart from the moveset thats the most annoying shit ever
>>343362738
Yes
>>343393690
Frontier G, which is also on PS3, PC, 360 and Vita.
>>343394191
LS is actually pretty good this time around, with Adept it's really easy to keep up the aura to red. Though apparently Zinogre is where Adept sucks for non-Gunners overall, and I noticed that the TA record for LS on Lv9 Gold Zinogre was done with Striker.
>Also, Is Guard pointing still a thing?
Yes, they're even visualized now to make their presence more apparent, but they all just continue through with the attack instead of being a launchpad into various options.
>>343394487
>LS is actually pretty good this time around
Think I'm gonna switch to LS and HH this time then, it'll make for a nice change of pace.Hopefully I can get good enough to not trip teammates.
>Yes, they're even visualized now
Is that the little "Schwing" sound and spark that happens during combos?
I'm really not a fan of the new CB moveset, it just feels horrible. I'd rather they keep it the same moveset and just lower the motion values or damage, it was legitimately fun in 4U.
>>343394259
Try Striker SnS too, you've pretty much got it all but range thanks to oils and those nice arts.

Only thing that doesn't really have super armor is Lance, though I'd imagine they'll be spamming the charging poke over and over which I believe does.
>Is that the little "Schwing" sound and spark that happens during combos?
You'll see a brief visual effect in front of you. Try it with both Striker's sword lunge and Adept's sword charging in the demo, which have additional guardpoints at the start. It'll be more apparent there than on the morph to axe or roundslash.
And I think most would be fine with the 4U moveset if KO damage was lessened, but the MH team wants to promote more axe use it seems.

That's another thing that annoyed me.
I wasn't used to the controls so I kept getting hit alot, but none of the monster's attacks actually caused any physical effect on my characters.
I found myself almost dead without actually being knocked back/down even once.
I'll have to try the CB out more, but I'll probably just bench it for this game.
>4U moveset but less KO.
That would be perfect, just change it a little for the other styles.

not gonna lie yes it was ,monster hunter is just more fun to me.
Who is best monster and why is it Maccau? Jaggi and friends truly are best family.
Is there a page with all new motion values? I need to know about the new bowgun shots, too.
