Monster Hunter General - /mhg/

Deviants are just older battle hardened monsters used to carting hunters and surviving, deviant suggests some kind of degenerate corruption and i'm sure scaly rathian fags would have some fanfics to write about that it does fit for what they are.

Shit Elder Beast/Elder Wyvernn would be fine.

depends on the monster i soloed crimsonhelm azruos at the earliest i could in village only gear and aside from a asshole 6 swipe move it was fine.

This was a wrong translation too though, the term used was "Two Named Monster" since it actually got a second title instead of just being "X Alternate Breed"

Meme magic is getting to powerful.

Just wondering what did anyone get for pre ordering this game?

Its the only series i do it for because the same autists buy it the moment the store opens and clears it out and for 4U i got a soft but THICC 3DS case with a N3ds i dont own with seregios on it and this time got a huge dinovalo poster with some high quality magazine sized art cards of the others called the 'fated four art pack'.

Am i the only one to feel like clearing G3 in MH4U feels like a chore?
They just slap some Advanced quests in there and say "well just clear those".
Doesn't help that kushy and teo are in there too but i guess they needed to be.
I just hate bosses that evade too much.

Oh, right, I had forgotten you could just abuse the basic upgrade path. I wouldn't normally use that since it's boring, but it sounds perfect for those bloated-ass hyper fucks. Thanks.

Shit that explains everything,I tried soloing the Snowbaron using a Lv 1 Djinn and Kirin armor set and got my shit wrecked because I underestimated him. I guess I was just undergeared (or maybe I just need to git gud).

Also what`s up with that Glavenus from the USJ event quest ?,his spining attack thing insta-kills you if it hits.

That's pretty much all of them now.

The Nargacuga is the worst at this you're constantly chasing it as it jumps from one side of the area to the other.

...

user, you have no idea how inspiring this set of sprites is. You don't know how but you'll helped me a fuck ton.
Thank you.

Do.
It.
For.
Her.

...

What i mean is that i hate bosses that evade while attacking, like raths "charge" or the teostra headbutt, also rajang.
I main hammet so if they don't do damage while they move around i can charge my level 1 uppercut into their face, but i just hate having to roll constantly.
Maybe i should stick to SnS for those ones, but i just love that sweet stun and hornbreak.

They should just call it Persistence Hunter. Generations really is a no-fun-allowed shitfest most of the time.

This really describes all my problems with the game in one go.

I got the "three hits, flee" problem, but never more than once a hunt. I'm not normally a lucky fag either.

...

Is it even worth it?
The point of a game should be fun, not grind

I stopped partway through 4U. Should I just go back?
Should I play 3U?

Where did you stop?
Personally, I'm making my quest to kill every unique boss and boss variant (including apex) but excluding lv.140s and that kept me going.

I think I was HR5 or 6, and for single player I started the quests after Shagaru Miyamoto Magala

There's some really cool shit waiting for you ahead, it just gets a bit grindy.
Personally, i disliked the fewer quests in singleplayer, it's clear G Rank was an aftertought, but it's very fun anyway.
Also G7 is the git gud rank.

Man.

I don't see the problem, both are half assed.

REMINDER NOT TO HIT THE HEAD WITH THE HUNTING HORN

The only style I use is guild

Striker is shit besides lance and SnS which make those weapons hilariously broken.

Aerial was fun in the demo, but it's pretty bad outside gimmick sets.

Adept gives you more time to dodge than dark souls

What do you mean hitting the head?
For that to happen you would need someone to use HH first, you know that's not a thing anymore.

I can only play Guild. Whats the point of playing GS if I cant use my strong slash lvl 3 round slash, and enjoy that ever so slight time-slow?

>end up fighting Dinovaldo
>he wasn't carrying any because he can't adapt to situations on the fly

needless to say, i'm not hunting with 'friend" anymore.

There's no such thing as a hunting horn.
It's an elaborate inside joke.

Collect as many "trap" related inserts on Craigs List and hook them up with this colossal faggot.

Holy shit trapper skill is so much fucking fun

feels good man

You know nothing.
I've been playing with a highly competent bud which is using para dual swords, while i main hammer.
It's been going like this:
We are often alone too, and every quest is less than 5 minutes this way.

I just played a similar game with my bow friend with my GS

It's fun being in control of the fight and taking that away for the boss

...

Since we're doing greentext stories, I'll share one.

I fell for the meme bait. Is his hipcheck really that frustrating to people?

What happened to tigerstripe zamitrios dual blades?

No tigerstripe in yhe game, friendo.

no sleep weapons too. same goes with insect glaive

The plesioth hipcheck thing is from MFHU, not 4U.
Post MFHU they mostly fixed the hitboxes thus it's way easier.
I really shouldn't have to tell you this, you should've figured it out by yourself already.

The term "variant" is already used for monsters like Savage Deviljho and Furious Rajang. It's really confusing when people say "variant" when talking about the deviants.

MHFU and Tri, man.

any fast way to get bomb and burst arowanas to make crag shots?

In Generations

Get them from the trader.

Is there an item like jerky/chips in gen that recovers the red portion of your health? This would be great for hyper monsters.

sauce? Is this a real game?

sushifish

what's better to mount monster with SA: atk.up L or mount master?

...

i thought you had to deliver a certain amout of damage to mount and atk up would make it go up faster. mount master is described only with "it's easier" without specify what manipulates in oreder to do so

Naw sushifish just cures bleeding and ups your red-healing it doesn't outright heal it like the Jerky did in 4U.

Don't listen to him , he doesn't know what he is talking about. MHFU hipcheck hitboxes are actually easier since it's not a multihit attack and its fuckhuge so its easier to dodge it. The actual problem is the tail, I don't know why its never mentioned, its far worse than a hipcheck and being competent at game and its mechanics won't save you from the apocalypse that it brings with each swing.

That's in so far true, that "mounting damage" can be considered a status/condition like stun, that is triggered once enough of that type of damage is dealt.

Yeah but mounting is like a status effect so whenever you hit a monster with a jumping attack you deal "mount" damage then when it hits the threshold you get a mount. Upping your attack does not up the amount of mounting damage you do. I assume mount master ups the amount of mounting damage you do.

The hip check fucks me up because the hurt box for it is actually behind the Plesioth at the start of it's animation. So you think you're fine staying behind it but you get hit anyways.

exactly, but since they don't show in-game, or at least i can't find it, how the mounting damage is calculated (and if it's tied to you attack, weapon, whatever) i assumed it was the first of the three.

This should be a Megaman-like game where you fight monsters and then get a suit that gives you their powers. I would play the shit out of that.

Post YFW you didn't buy into the MHG meme

I have never played a single MH game, is this a good place to start?

...

MHG isn't awful it's just made some stupid choices like how 4U had all that relic shit. If you're complaining about the no G-rank thing then you're dumb. MH3 and MH4 both launched without G-rank then were re-released with G-versions.

No, anything but this because of all the gimmicks.

Start with Freedon Unite or Portable 3rd.

I'm starting to get motivated.

Start with the original on PS2 if you can so you can appreciate where the series has come from

If Plesioth's tail hitbox actually matched the tail model nobody would EVER get hit by it because Plesioth is 40 feet tall. It would be a pure joke, like Brachydios' tail hitbox but even less of a threat.

I finished those yesterday they were fucking tough, they seem to do way more damage than normal.

Get ready for blagonga into lagiacrus for the tackle party.

Is it me, or is Mh3u on console one of the comfiest things ever?

Also a question for an aspiring hammer bro in mhg. Should I strive for a hammer with higher sharpness or go for the blunt skill? Because I already have the Uragaan and the pine cone dragon hammers.

Both are good but honestly the seregios hammer is so convenient since it sharpens itself and doesn't need any sharpness skills that I rearely use any other.

And that's why I believe that 3u's and on hitbox fixes are casual cancer. Now instead of executing precise technique that is a few frames long, you can pretty much roll a few seconds earlier or don't roll at all, since devs took the route of not piss you off by "broken hitboxes" and would rather have an attack not hit you when it should. I bet that's why great idea of bushido style got ruined into the ground with evasion+10 and weak ass attacks for some weapons.

Oh boy.

Look it's the FU autist again.
Everyone point and laugh at him,

...

...

Uh, skards are p good, fam.

...

Then maybe they should
Stick with me here.
Maybe they
Are you listening?
They should
Just here me out

Maybe they should
CHANGE THE ANIMATIONS

But I shouldn't be too mean to you because is the real retard.

Kill me Pete. Just fucking do it, you furry bastard.

You're gonna have to be more precise, that's like 90% of the FU diehard fanbase.
And hell, i like FU and have many fond memories of it, but with FU diehard fans it's just how it is, it's an endless cock measuring contest that has been going on for years and years.

Monster broth is the bane of everyone's existence. If you just want to kill yourself do the quest where you kill 50 konchu in the arena.

Those 2 50 quests are the only ones untouched by me and i have a fucking poison bow.

As a game FU performed perfectly fine.
It forced you to learn monster's behavior to not get you're shit kicked in even in a full online lobby, since even if the monster isn't targeting you you are still at the risk of getting hit, unlike now.
Tigrex, plesi, gypceros, gravios on an uneven terrain, aka and uka, rath and fata family are a joke now.
Other monsters that got their animations reimagined are now horrors of the abyss: 4u kut-ku and partially daymio, garuga, niblesnarf, blandonga, 3u's precious metal raths, lucent nargacuga and to some extent the white gale deviant.
I don't have any problem with well working animation+hitbox combo, but when that's not the case and the combination doesn't work fluidly, I'd rather have a broken infuriating hitbox than a non engaging monster fight.

Don't complain about people that didn't bother to play the game swarming the endgame online lobbies then. Because why bother when you can just stand at the monster's groin area with no repercussions.
>b-but m-muh smart ai where you get a deliberately placed move in a monsters moveset with fuckhuge hitbox that fucks you up if you stand close for long enough
>or even beter, the monster that consists on 90% of spastic moves or evasive maneuvers and on 10% of retardation drooling

plz

I think they should nerf the damage done by plesi's tail swing. I'm ok with the hipcheck being his big powerful attack that you have to be sure to dodge, but getting your health depleted by zero-wind-up tail swipes feels cheap. I agree with making plesi smaller/shorter so we can see what the hell's going on and reach his breaks. He's was so much more fun underwater.

sergio weapons + absolute readiness feels so broken. Nonstop white sharpness monster rape party.

That is terrible advice.

You don't even need absolute readiness with the hammer since hammers land so few hits anyway.
I guess it could be useful but intentionally rolling a few times when there's an opening is enough to maintain white with the hammer for me.

You don't need to "intentionally roll a few times" with Hammer because you're rolling a good number of times through normal gameplay to begin with. That's why Seregios hammer was popular back in 4G, although not as much as the Seregios GS because unlike GS the Hammer at least still had some other options worth using.

How do i get the red tickets to get the last levels of the seregios weapons?

Hammer, GS, and HH pinecone weapons were all great because those are all weapons that require a lot rolling to cancel out of attacks after they've landed.

If you know how to evade lance the seregios GL is also fucking amazing, but requires dodge dist to work great.

The problem with Seregios GL is that it's a Long shell type.

Will MH ever get a spear-ass spear without a god damn stupid bug? Or will bug-stick be what spear-fans are stuck with in this game?

You're not a spear-fan, you're a staff-fan. Lance is a spear, bugstick is a staff.

Dude, the GL naturally has different moves and pokes than the lance, most notably X+A with the upswing that is great for cutting tails.
You only really shoot to do the mini-sprint with forward+A.

That's not a spear, that's a staff.

Bushido evade overrides normal evade meaning your evasion+1/2/3 skill does nothing.

Evade Distance+ still works though.

Does bug stick not have a blade on the end? I know you use the thing like a staff not a spear but I just meant Capcom looking at it and saying oh well that is the spear. There should be something in between that still has a lot of stabbing and poking yet lets you retain decent movement. Maybe you could throw it and stick it in the monster.

That's a javelin. user you should really spend more time with /k/.

That sounds what they had in mind with the boomerang weapon, because you don't want the hassle of having to pick your weapon back from the boss, do you?
Does anyone has the pic with the concepts?

I just want a fucking anime spear weapon in my dumb anime game where I stab dinosaurs why are you guys being such sticklers?

But MH is about forcing the player to adapt to clunky gameplay, not anime shit.
Arguably, the weapons feel realistic, albeit oversized and awesome.

I can host the actual Ushio no Tora quest DLC for you. Gives you a real deal animu spear.

Well I don't know I think the game needs a melee weapon with a pretty long range that has about the attack and movement speed of hammer.

Boomerang.

Javelin sounds pretty fun tbh, make it quick like SnS and give it a shield and dealing damage can (re)charge an ammo like resource where you can throw the javelin.

Standard attacks could be a series of thrusts, alternate attacks could be throws, and it would have the same blocking capabilities as SnS.

That sounds pretty fucking gay.
How about…
Hear me out?
A boomerang?

...

I do know, but it only makes it more painful
Fuck the wolf tho, we got enough furry porn thanks to fluffy thunderdoge.

Fuck you man, there's way, way more generic female hunter porn than there is furshit. We deserve a slice of the pie too.

...

That's because the female hunters are sexually arousing while furshit is cancer.

You deserve nothing but fire and death.

That doesn't mean anything.
Just having a blade at the end of a stick doesn't make that thing a spear.

Look, this is a Guandao.
It has a central baton body, and then it ends in a blade, yet it's not a spear.
And it's not quite used like you would use a spear in combat.

Not only that, the basic premise behind the IG moveset makes me think the inspiration was closer to a Bō staff.
But that's not accurate either, because the specific way one uses an IG, makes me think that the main source of inspiration was (unsurprisingly, since it's a very common trope in japan and china to have a character using this/inspired by this) Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang, his staff.

And originally, the Ruyi Jingu Bang wasn't even really a weapon, rather an instrument to measure the depth of any body of water, with it's magical ability to extend at will.

Theres more trap kirin shota than zingore shit bro.

Any furry shit is already too much furry shit.

I like the idea, but ditch the shield to make it more unique and sacrifice defense for speed. It can be like a faster and even more mobile lance, with a SnS-like drawn movement speed. So you can poke a monster to death and use a very powerful charged throw (up to lvl3) that sticks into the monster/ground and you have to run over and pick it up I'd make the animation to pick up the javelin relatively quick and make the throw do substantial damage, maybe make it do multiple hits like pierce shots.
If you want to get silly, you can attach a chain/rope tp the javelin so you reel it back after each throw.

Giant boomerang also needs to happen.

What kind of moveset did the rapier have? sauce? Was it like a more stab-y mix between a LS and a lance?

Wow, mean.

Fencing and also a conductors baton to direct the wolf between different tactics.

Oh stop trying to explain this shit and just post the images.
Takes 2 seconds to find, lazy bums.

these neat ideas were cut
MHGU never ever
such cute concept art

We'll get them in monster hunter 5 along with the gunhammer

ID: 51-1660-2675-7537
Pass: 7777

Soo monhun 5?

end me

NX launch window confirmed?

Yearly Monhun kills the fucking soul

Silly baka gaijin, this is nippon release schedule, you get it summer 2018 and like it.

Cross came out in 2015, that'd be a two year gap already, and Cross was a separate team anyway. 4G was 2014, and the original 4 was 2013, it'll have been four years since Gen 4 started, and 3 since the last major release by the main team.

So is there ANY fucking chance of another MH game not being on handheld after how successful their last couple games were?

No

Why are they giving it low as fuck numbers? Also I figured MHX will do lower numbers since its more of a rehash of all maps and stuff.

I kinda wished it would be more of a wait but they got separate teams doing them? And they both are pretty solid unlike the dark souls teams for example. Hopefully we get the original team and they really expand on whats its like to be in MH. Please bring back water

because street fighter 5.

Capcom is sorta balancing multiple things right now and being more realistic with their sales expectations.
This isn't a bad thing at all considering CAPCOM IS FUCKING INSANE when it comes to their expectations on sales for their titles and it leads to GAMES NOT BEING RELEASED IN THE WEST AT ALL IF EVEN A SINGLE TITLE FAILS TO MEET THEIR INSANE EXPECTATIONS.

And yes i'm very fucking bitter about this shit.

Does RE even really sell that well?

...

I completed Advanced: The Field's a Stage and all I got was a feather with health+50 and max 51 defense. Hahaha.

RE6 was the best selling RE game ever made.
Look it up.
RE fans are a special breed of retarded, they'll buy anything RE branded.

Yeah, I just checked. What the fuck man, I thought the series completely dropped off the charts after 4, but I apparently I was completely wrong. I thought it averaged ~1 to 2 million sales, but I was dead wrong when it came to the mainline ones.

If by "last couple" you mean "everything since the series moved from PS2 to PSP." Do keep in mind that within just over a month, Cross outsold literally every other game in 2015 despite being exclusive to the 3DS.

You need to factor in console sales as well. Without that you get skewed results. Sure, RE6 got higher units sold but did it get higher units sold in proportion to system sales?

Seriously, LoZ:OOT didn't sell as many units as other LoZ's.

THE WHAT?
Sauce.

But who is making it? I want them to take a risk and implement new things, like water was a huge change, maybe air battles? Bigger more dynamic cities? Multi monster fights are much more common? etc.

What can we expect from the new mh? I have not got the time to play MHX but is it good and worth playing? Also doesnt MH need to fix the post game g-rank stuff? or in 4U how they had the infected monsters?

Probably an NX launch title imo.

The new MH is probably an NX title which is rumored to be a handheld with a TV output, so kind of maybe.

I think it's a worse game than 3 or 4.
The gimmick is ever present as opposed to at the end, there's so little thought put into what they did add, the quest progression is worse, what the fuck were they thinking with the variant monster quests or items "we can't have 2 different skillsets! just leave sharpener on the gunner set, we gotta save time!"

nah. The small towns means high npc density, which means less running about to get ready. Personally, the size of dundorma bugs me. Val Habar was perfect.

I want ecosystems, and food chain based monster showdowns.
I want bosses fighting each other, with proper dedicated animations, expecially for flying wiverns.
And even tho it would be less fun seeing two monsters actually kill each other, they could make it so after a bit of damage one of them runs away like a free dungbomb.
We already saw in MH4U a Zinogre killing Iodrome & Iopreys and i recall Seregios chasing a Rathalos off of it's ecosystem.
Also in MH3U there was a Brachidios fighting an Agnaktor, right?
Some of them like Rathalos and Rathian will obviously only target the player, but it would make sense if Devijho would attack sparingly you and any boss there is in the zone with you, trying to eat whatever he kills first.

...

Yeah I agree with full on ecosystems. I want to see Deviljho fight Glavenus.

Well shit that actually sounds pretty nice.

Fuck yes.
I always saw Devijho to be kind of the absolute predator, given maybe the exception of elder dragons, but do those even eat?
Wait, i think i read somewhere that Dalamadur would eat Zinogres…

But wouldnt that mean its replacing the n3ds?

dubs confirm!
two screens in hand, with TV as a third.
Titles produced with portability in mind, like monhun, or home play in mind.
Imagine the possibilities! they will be squandered because it's okay when nintendo does it

I think someone said that Cedeaus pups are prey for Nakarkos and Chameleos probably steals food to eat.

I mean I have a wiiU and I was pleased with splatoon alone. I also have a n3ds. So I might get the NX or whatever its called but its supposed to have more power than the wiiu in a handheld? If it has more power than a n3ds but is not as big as the wiiu controller then I might get it nintendo has a serious line up.

Yeah i can see chameleos sneaking it's tongue into tents and stealing supplies.
Now i kinda wanna see a G Jaggi eating an egg whole.
Not even in a sexual way, it just kinda fascinates me, that's all…

What does he use the bones as mimicry for?
Is there some more badass elder dragon it tries to scare off?

There's always a more badass elder dragon.

Probably Fatalis and Alatreon.

Your next line will be wouldn't that be funny. haha

There's gotta be some top dog of the food chain.
Unless they succumb and early death to parasites like Giggi or something.

Can't get much worse than your mom :^)

D-Dude what?
I've actually been reviving that meme here and there
But no, i'm just worried cause i have this thing of immersion where i picture myself as a hunter and so i like studying bosses behavious, and so i'd like them to have more natural things like drinking periodically, or neutral bosses that only attack if provoked.

I just looked up Alatreon and damn son, that's a sick pompadour.

Just don't let Brachidios hear you saying that.

Not as sick as the only hunter who can bring them down

So after getting all checkmarks, killing every monster and deviant in the game multiple times, doing a few lvl 10s and just barely 300 hours of gameplay Im just done with this game. I cant force myself to play it anymore. Anyone else feel that way? I even got more hours in Tri.

Maybe its time to play 4U again.

What else do you want out of a game user you finished everything.

I don't get it myself, but some people go back and do things like reread books, rewatching movies and TV shows, and even play games they've already completed.

Yeah I get replaying the game but he just finished everything he completed it normally when that happens your done with the thing for a while. Then eventually you feel like going back and playing it again.

Deviljho variant, Angeljho:
"It appears to be a white Deviljho with miniature wings on its back, While they aren't actually large enough to fly this variant has extremely well developed leg muscles that it uses to jump.

It is said to serve as a protector of sorts and has been known to actually help hunters in trouble. Don't be fooled by its kind tendencies, when provoked it can be just as fierce as the standard variant and is said to lose control while raging."

Thats not how MH normally for me works. I usually make a lot of things and shit and just keep playing. when I beat the boss monsters its usually were things start untill I have like 1K hours +

Just can't do it with this game.

That's kinda terrifying user

You stop that shit, it's already horrifying enough seeing it rise through the ground or enter from another zone when shit's getting real.

You started it!
Besides, i crave more Devijho anyway

...

What weapon type? Tigrex and deviant tiggy are solid choices across the board. Tigrex GS is the considered the best raw GS and I've seen other tiggy weps pop up in a number of speedruns

it makes sense on the hellblade set. It's nice to have a quicker attack boost via grindr.

Urgent quests I understand but whoever greenlit this needs to be burned at the stake.

I haven't really looked into the tigrex weapons this time around since seregios came pretty much at the same time, but I suppose it can't hurt hunting a HR tigrex or two. 7400+ HP hyper monsters is worth a few hours of dedicated grind.
Weapon wise I'm pretty much fine with anything but I'm best with swaxe and bugstick.

I don't.

For those who haven't seen it yet Frontier is being updated to Frontier Z and will have a PS4 version.

What happened to the user from last thread posting tbe Jap quests?
I want some animu weapons that arent practical.

I meant to say that they are the only choice you get, same for other type of weapons. Apparently MHX really hates status weapons

Because it's a jump in rank/difficulty, aka a milestone.

Fuck the 3ds is so uncomfortable to hold, but is still leagues better than that psp shit. I just want to use a controller again without playing the psp games on an emulator or re-buying 3U and the console attached to it.

I want to wait and see if the NX is worth my time by having an actual library other than Zelda, Mario, Smash, and Kart.

No, I'm not stupid and I know why this series is on handhelds.
Won't stop me from hating capcom for being lazy shits.**

Not wanting to waste money on a port that won't sell much is being lazy?

Anyone need to unlock descending fog for savage jho? I'm willing to do it 4 times in a row if necessary, I can't get pubs to help.

I meant to say "complete" descending fog.

Or an archive of last thread, he might of posted it before new thread

Gonna bump cos i need those stupid animu weapons.

...

Implying its not only for offline and friends.

If you are a beast tamer then what do you as your character do? Do you get a small minor weapon?

Also boomerang was always popular and most of us can see it happening but I would also like to see something like a whip or spear chucker type of class.

You can clearly see in the concept art that the hunter is using a variation of a thin saber, perhaps an Épée.
That's what you use to attack, you'd be a light and agile swordsman with a focus on piercing and (probably) low damage to be complemented by the damage and support provided by your pet.

A weapon composed of two elements, like the IG.
In fact, if we think about it, from 4 onwards it seems like both MH teams are thinking about weapons that are made up of two elements working with each other, rather than weapons that "switch", that seems to be their new focus.

...

I really don't think making deals with Konami about anything is a good idea right now.

It absolutely isn't, but god I miss AJD/Castlevania, it's been almost a decade since the last DS game.

Beast tamer should also have more than just s sword, maybe a whip? It would be really cool to see beast tamer have like 3 different types of weapons. Whip, saber or spear chucker.

Still a burden to do the quest you've done over and over.
Well it's not really all that bad if I like the monster but the TWO urgent quests to get to Rank 6 pissed me off.

Also I wouldn't mind handheld hell if the handheld wasn't so shit.
I think only PC and handheld consoles deserve to exist these days, but handhelds need to stop being shit. There's no excuse with the way phones have rapidly advanced mobile technology. Even really low end shit is better than the N3DS.

I've been saying this for the longest time, and i'll say it again: the idea of making EVERYONE IN THE ROOM individually do their urgents is shitty.

I understand why it's designed that way, i understand that it would make everyone climb HR too fast otherwise, however people get carried trough their urgents anyway, all it takes it a group that has more patience or a hunting group of friends covering each other, they can very easily climb HR by carrying each other to the top.

As far as i'm concerned it's a design decision that simply isn't fun, is a huge waste of time for all the hunters involved, and doesn't keep out shitters at all, we can all clearly see that high HR hunters online are for the most part clueless idiots that have been carried their entire hunting career anyway, so what's the fucking point anymore.

Just make it so when you do an urgent, everyone gets that urgent cleared by doing it once as long as that urgent was open for them at that point in time, obviously, and be done with it.

Speed up the process, make it less tedious, make people move on to more important hunts that aren't a waste of everyone's time.

Thank the fucking gimmick for that.

So I got a question:

Some user here said they had an awesome time with Heavy Bowgun adept.

Can anyone tell me what is special specifically with heavy bowgun adept over light bowgun?

You can bushido evade and go right to siege.

Is there a way to ensure the direction you're facing when you re-siege is the way you want?

Pretty sure it takes less than a second to get aim back on the monster. Either way, it's better for pierce S 1-3 than a LBG.

That triggers the hammer user in me.
Flashbombing her into submission is one of the best things ever.

Are you one of those faggots that only does the key quests when ranking up?

That was intersting to put it mildly.

Then i did her on a second character as dios cb and just stoop to the left of her head and destroyed her pink scaly ass.

I would just like to understand if her tail bends on a certain direction so i know where to roll when she spins.

...

I dont know what i expected.

Any anons who know moonrunes willing to weigh in on my feeble MHX dlc localization effort? I've "translated" the main data for all of the main high rank, but I'm unsure of what to do for at least a third of them.

Only did the main HR hunter quests and skipped the first two. Excuse the mess:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19JtcT6jMxWeUmWwbXe-vu6FTSM55p_XIXzqRGVYvJCU/edit?usp=sharing

After its done, I'll dump the converted DLC and install instructions here.

Nice quad user.
I support of your efforts, keep it up.
You should chime in on the Jap learning thread and ask them, is my suggestion.

I'll add commenting is on for the public link and that's probably the most dirrect feedback possible.

Are there any good sleep weapons in Cross/Gen at fucking all? Holy shit.

Can't get the Google Docs thing to work, so posting here

The double Garuruga quest should be named "Crows" instead of "Close," it's based off a manga.

Likewise with the Ferocious Gamoot quest, the series in question it's based on is "Hanma Baki"

For the Ferocious Tamamitsune quest, 白面 can mean either "sober" or "inexperienced" or "clear face (as in without makeup or the like)" I'm going to assume the last as the only one to make sense, since it applies to the Tamamitsune, but might also be a pun since 白面 can also literally be read as "white face" so, "Ushio and Tora: The White Faced Bubble Fox Dragon"

マギ・堕転から救う者 would be "Magi - The One Who Saves You From Tumbling Down" I guess? Near as I can tell 堕転 is a compound that doesn't naturally exist, and might be a reference to the manga the quest itself is based on.

Gotta run for a bit, but I would look over the whole thing again, just at a glance a lot of it is simply made up.

白面 might also be the name of the big-bad demon fox of the series (hakumen)

There are a number of titles that I essentially took from someone else who seems to have gone their own way translation wise. The ": statement" and some of the … are especially guilt. DMC and capcom are probably the closest they'll get to "accurate, but concise"

As rough as it gets for a guess, but it looks like "Ushio and the tiger(based on structure probably the Japanese series title): hakumen(main villian) the bubble fox"

Light Bowguns.

Just post your quests in a "turns" room and you won't have to do it 4 times. Usually if you search rooms by HR8-999 you can find a Turns room in a couple tries.

I managed to get it done. I figured I'd just ask in the thread first since others might have trouble getting requests done.

...

A friend of mine doesn't have much time to play and he's bummed out there is maintenance. Oh well, maybe he should have gotten engaged.

*shouldn't have
fuck

I know Nintendo is incompetent with anything internet related, but when maintenance starts it's like that create problems.

Monster Hunter isn't the only one with server issues right now if you catch my cold

From what I can tell, she bends it for maximum damage. Even if she's got a target, if you or a palico are to a side, she'll try to swipe there too

There are tons of reasons why I believe capcom to be lazy shits, and this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Not a graphics whore by any stretch but you're fucking high if there is even a slight thought this isn't lazy. Need I even mention that they're ripping off amnesia/PT/all those other first person walking simulators with re7, deep down was or is(don't know if this'll be released) a shameless attempt to cash in on the dark souls crowd, sfv released with no modes on launch with the equivalent of a sticky note saying "coming soon" on most of them. Finally, the icing on the cake being re6 with the statement of "we want the cod audience". So, instead of coming up with new ideas and gameplay mechanics other than monhun and to some extent dragon's dogma, they just rip off other successful franchises that do them way better.

I would say something about them doing remasters, but they've been doing that shit for years with street fighter super/hyper/turbo/HD/what the fuck ever.

So when you tell me that capcom doesn't want to waste money on a port that will more than likely be half-assed and shoved out the door, I will for sure tell you that it does in fact make them lazy.

But hey, as long as their jewery makes them money they get a free pass right?

Same reason why the Wii U underperformed and was a pain in the ass to develop for.

inb4 "3rd parties are shit anyways" meme.

Did he turn into a massive asshole afterwards like so many others? My bro was married for a bit and became extremely unhappy and angry, though we all warned him she was a fake bitch and a slut. His current gf actually plays vidya with him and I while being pretty chill. Too bad they smoke weed.

The Azumand Wind Hunting Horn does a passable impression of not being shit, though I usually only get one sleep off of it, and that's with a Status Attack +2 clown suit. It's songs are pretty shit, too, healing and earplugs, so I only really use it for blunt breaks. I don't give my Palicos sleep weapons, though, that probably has an effect.

>Realise this cat has Plunderang

Ooh, that's dirty. I'll have to see if I can get the powered up charms without killing a Jho. Already killed one in a quest, leaving less than five minutes for everything else, so I think honour is satisfied.

Are you implying most of Holla Forums is married?

Depends, do most people here get wicked drunk and beat people up because of their inadequacies of being a man and provider? There's more than one type of angry and unhappy besides than bitching about videogames on an anonymous imageboard, which is pretty low on the tier list. Also I know you were just making a joke but the autist within feels the need to reply.

sage for irrelevance

I know that, the point is you get a fuckhuge invulnerability window which can be utilized by any retard.
Evasion +3 is an overkill and combined with an invulnerable dash afterwards makes an idea that comes behind adept\bushido pretty much a ruined concept.

It's my idea that looks like people taking a liking of.
Basically a combination of gunlance, hammer and hbg. It's model partially resembles gunlance counterpart but modified a lil to look like a bat, I think wide gunlances would require the least amount of modification. It would also have different cannon ball types per weapon, shooting of which can be only triggered by charge moves or by going into some kind of switched ranged siege mode.

Or maybe he just meant the literal gunhammer that could be turned into a new weapon type resembling a pulverizer from kf2.

Oh, I remember that too, when they both teamed up on anyone who have entered their area and weren't fighting each other at all for the exception of the cutscene.

In MHFU I've had a goal of collecting every endgame viable weapon of every class. I somewhat succeeded at it. But in MHX that goal is very unlikeable to be realized because way too many weapons are viable in the endgame and it costs way too much zenni to craft them all.

You are NOT invulnerable during that dash on the ground, at all.
In fact bad positioning and mistiming the dodge will lead you to your death very quickly, that dash is there as a gap closer and punishment tool, two in one.

Surely you're not trying to discuss a game you haven't played personally, right?

Dash as in jump dash, not the running dash.

He was always the kind of guy to get angry and hit himself when failing at games. He still does it and will ragequit hunts. He's still a good friend despite being shit with vidya, but he's getting married too fast. I've lost all my gaming buddies to IRL shit, what's another?

I've found that too many weapons are shit in MHX/Gen. Lack of G rank armor also really puts a limit on skill variance. I like the upgrade system but hate most of the weapons for every weapon type.

I'm a GS main and decided to get 1 of each gs, max level in order to give me a goal and give me more variety in hunts, as I usually just pick one sword and only change it after 50-100 hunts.
Holy shit most of them are crap. I may be wrong, but it seems like there's a lot less GS weaps and on top of that, not many are stand outs.

Worst part is so few can be crafted and instead require upgrading, which is just slow and painful.

Reminder that the better Monster Hunter is out on Steam now.

Heh.

First I lost it when he HAMMER THREW himself at us. Then I couldnt stop fucking laughing at his graceful ballerina pirouettes where he had to balance on his fucking tip toes.
Truly a beautiful and majestic creature.

Fuck off.

I like fighting him, i just wish he had less HP.
He's not hard at all but takes forever because he's a bullet sponge.

When he spins get in there and hit the feet as he's spinning, you'll make him fall if you do enough damage.

Once he falls break his back (and you can also mine it).
When he does his throw slam you can mine the tip of his tail.

Additionally, bring someone with a big ass hammer and you can break the tip of his tail off entirely.

Any damage can break his tail. Even shot.

Didn't like the first one, doubt I'll like this one.

I guess if you're desperate and don't have a 3ds, you can play this or toukiden. Or just emulate MH.

The worst thing about that is that they tease you with it, cause i think it's also the first Seregios encounter, isn't it?

But honestly i'd just like Devijho to be more of a calculated choice to poop, you know.
I had this idea with my sturdy cats, cause one time in MH4U i wad running 400+ defence on them.
That same Devijho also helped me killing the other 3 bosses that later spawned, and then fled, it was intense.

It sounds worse than toukiden in every way, really.

Yeah that's nice

It wasn't late coming to PC they were just holding it back for the english version, since non-eroge or MMO games are not released in Japan from Japanese devs.

It doesn't really matter why, since anyone who gives a shit has long since played it.

Me and my MH friend haven't we plan to go through both games once we're done with MHG.

That's an empty argument considering the Charge Blade exists.

What's Holla Forums's opinion on Monster Hunter Stories?
I'll probably get it D1.

It looks kinda cute.
Definitely not Day 1 material.
No idea if it's gonna come out in the west either, probably not.

If it's not it'll be a good reason to hardmod my 11.0 3DS.

I was hyped for the weapon upgrade system cause I thought it would bring more variety, but was also disappointed. They missed out on an opportunity to have some great and wacky weapons. I want weapons with lower damage but white for days, low-raw GSs and hammers that have massive status/elemental damage and actually make status/elemental builds viable, weapons that actually make bludgeoner sets worth it end game, etc. Also more unique weapons like making all glavenus weapons come with the grinder skill.

Yeah, i feel like MH should have an endgame with tons of viable weapons that do different shit and fit different needs.

It sorta doesn't matter if it's handled by the MHG team or the regular team, both teams feels like they don't really agree with this mindset at all, and thus as a result we have our current very limited system.

I feel like 4U had a ton more viable weapons. Being able to get (Element) Atk +3 helps a lot. I had about 5 hammers I used regularly for example. In MHG I can't see using any hammer other than Tigrex Hammer.

That honestly just feels like an only partially intended consequence of bloated skills that comes with G rank rather than a completely deliberate design choice to increase variation.

I can sort of see some balancing based on monster threat levels, difficulty obtaining the weapon upgrades, and number of slots on the weapon determining its stats, but there's always been cases like

It would be great if you can swap out a weapon skin with another. I want to beat shit up with weaponized marine animals without feeling so damn weak.

Lol, what a scrub.
I main SnS & Hammer mainly, and i use about 20 of them frequently, switching back and forth.
I gotta say that the ice hammer you make out of pure crystals is a personal favourite because great damage, good element and 3 slots.

I had more than 5 hammers made. Do you understand reading comprehension? Obviously there are more than 5 that are useful. In MHX/Gen I don't feel that way about any weapon asisde from LBG, HBG, DBs and SnS.

Oic.
Btw did MHGen even do anything great?
All i hear from you guys are complaints about wasted potential and unnecessary grindfests.

Consider suicide.

You're one of those, aren't ya? :^)

It doesn't have guild quests. That's a huge bonus. It's a pretty weak installment in the series but still a decent game. I like styles, but I hate hunter arts. I like the Internal Ammo addition. I hope they either keep the ammo types, or keep the internal ammo mechanic but balance some of the ammo.

All the ideas…. could be okay if they weren't half assed.
like Styles could be fun but the problem is there's a hands down best style for each weapon with rare exceptions.
Hunter Arts… are just garabge and remove those.
Prowlers are fun, little bit of polish required there
Hyper REDUCE THE GOD DAMN HP POOLS
Variant/Deviant/Whateveriant was okay aside from the stupid ass ticket system.
Internal ammo is good, but as user said needs some balance
Upgrade system needs to go back to the one from other games, no G rank because it's a side game.

But it has ideas that can be salvaged, but it's execution is bad

Well, at the very least, Deviants have a good chance of coming back, unlike hypers, that are only reskins.
I wouldn't believe Capcom would trash some perfectly new models for existing monsters just because they first appeared in a side game.

How does the evade skills work with aerial evade? I can't really see a notable difference.

I think it effects the i-frames when you land after the hop.

Godammit I want to LOOK all kinds of fucked up, and not like G.Magala Edgelord armor, the gape-mouthed hood thing that made my hunter look like an ogre was just fucking great, and the oversized arm just sealed the whole deal.

Are there any other monstrous looking armors like that in Gen or is that it? I find it unlikely since it seems that the slopes hate shit that is conventionally ugly and that armor set in question is probably hated in NipLand, but I can dream dammit.

Crystalbeard and jhos

What about evade extender, does it increase the length of the hop?

Yes by a great amount evade extender is a great skill for aerial. I've been using it for so long it takes some adjustment when I use a set that doesn't have it.

Why the fuck is this still a thing? I think there's three different Kirin quests and only one is worth a damn, but it's not always available.

thanks for the hunts to whoever joined

Hunting Jho

8888 is the pass

There is usually at least 2 contending for the best style and adept is for ones that want to play safe, so it's usually between 1 and 3 useful styles per weapon which isn't half bad.
Hunter arts are alright, need more work though and more options.
Aren't you confusing them with deviants? Because hyper's have just slightly bigger health pool and die pretty much as fast as normal ones. They are just more aggressive and dont go into exhausted state.
I don't know how hyper's pool is ok and deviant's not.

My problem with deviant's outside of things that have been said, is that their weapons are usually far from perfect and require additional skills to shine, but guess what, faggot, you get no slots for that sweet sp+1 sp+2. And that's not counting in something like focus for gs or art expert for funlance.

You poor souls.

Anything that has 200 or more raw with green or better sharpness is pretty good, and there are a ton of weapons that go into that category. Well, of course we don't count in exceptions like funlance, swax, gs and hh, they have a lil different requirements.

I'd say 220+ for green, 200+ blue/white. Weapon variety is pretty shit.

Even if you move a lil my goalposts it still applies for huge amount of viable weapons.

And even if you somehow find that blue sharpness not sufficient for your needs, there are still at least 25 weapons of each type that have 220+ raw with at least green sharpness.

I didn't move your goalposts, what you said about 200 attack with green is flat out wrong.

My main point was that there are a ton of viable weapons. Other than that I don't care if it's 200 green or 220 green or 200 blue, that's too specific. Like you don't even see that many finals with 200 green so who fucking cares about that.

new monster reminds me of Gyaos

...

Yes, your pic suits you're retardation perfectly.

Your main point is flawed, because the gap between weapons is too large. Even with Blunt AND Weakness Exploit 220 green is still kinda lacking. Go back to fucking 4th grade math please.

...

Did I fucking mention 200? I said 220. Learn to fucking read. I'd expect that kind of shit tier reading comprehension from someone that can't multiply 3 numbers.

>moving goalposts

The post you responded to didn't even fucking mention 200. Why is this general flooded with idiots that suddenly can't understand basic math?

What has basic reading or missing the post have to do with math?
If you want to force a new dank meme, please got to Holla Forums or 4chan /mhg/ (which are pretty much the same thing nowadays).
And here is the post where you mention 200 with green which I intended to post.

This isn't some dank meme.
The post he fucking responded to did not mention 200. Can you fuckers read?

I bet you are stupid enough to think that I'm someone else too.

h-hi.
If I only had access to a PC for emulation, where would I start with MH? Is this even a thing? I just wanna try these games out.

There's freedom unite on the PsP it emulates fine.
Beware there are some pretty notoriously horrible hitboxes but the game itself is great aside from that

If you want the "roots", MHFU.

If you want a more polished experience, MHP3 (grab a pre patched translated iso).

this>>10567211 mh3p has also an hd texture emulation on pc.

I finally got to the deviant monsters and i want to get the snowlord lagombi armor but. Is there anyone here who still uses the patched jap version? i want to do it online to speed things up and the only rooms are from 6th level and up

Not patched, but I play Cross.

I'm about to emulate Monster Hunter for the PS2. Anything I should know?

Be ready to git gud. Lance is OP in that one.
Remember you can speed up the emulation to make gathering quests quicker.

First time playing a MonHun, or are you a veteran diving into the past? Either way, be patient, know that the sequels did make huge quality of life improvements, and that you use the second stick to attack.

Are you sure about that one mate ? Because as a rule I'm seeing the hypers have around twice the health, there's nothing slight about that

Where are you getting these figures from?

mhgen.kiranico.com/

Huh, so he's gotten into the game's data to check stats? Has he compared between X and Gen to see if everyone was right about Gen's monster HPs getting nerfed down?

Odd. It usually takes me a lot longer to kill deviants solo than hypers. Is this true for anyone else? Maybe it's cause I'm more used to the regular attack patterns and spend too much time avoiding deviant attacks.

That sample shows about one and a third to twice as much HP, but the regular form HP is all over the place anyway

Read somewhere about there being monsters that arent available except in DLC, but no list of what they are.

Can someone fill me in? I assume they're all hypers, as I know one is hyper silver rath.

JUST

Desire sensor is a bitch.

It was only when I went online with some randoms a week later that I got the two that I needed.

Are you breaking it's claws? It's really fucking hard to do but it nearly guarantees you to get a claw for each break. If you need Claw+s then fight the hyper one it drops claws a lot more.

I am sure you get this question a lot, but: emulation guy here. Are all of the main games considered good or there are some that I should skip? Is going straight to Tri and 3rd blasphemy?

Jesus fucking christ.

Didn't mean to reply.

I ctrl+f the thread, so I guess I answered my question. Is it worth playing the PS2 games, though the second one doesn't seem to have translation and the PSP game after it seems to be based on it, but with more stuff? What about the first one then? On wiki they say G is an "expansion" of the PS2 game.

G is an expansion that adds G Rank to the games, so yes, G on the PS2 and Wii was the original Monster Hunter with more content, same as Portable 2G is to Portable 2nd, Tri-G is to Tri, and 4G is to 4.

Personally, if you have the patience I recommend playing from the very beginning just to experience where the series started, and then moving on to Portable 2G. After that, if you can do Wii emulation, Tri is relatively unique from what I hear, though I can't say as I've only played the G version that nixes some of what made it so to bring it more in line with the rest of the series. Portable 3rd was also a blast, and Tri-G is the definitive version of 3rd generation (though that one should only be played in Japanese, since English releases were made baby mode by permanently upping player defense by 50 points.) From there it's just 4G and then Cross.

So after reading the fine text further, because of the expansion things it is worth really to play (on emulation) only:
Monster Hunter Freedom
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
Monster Hunter Tri
Monster Hunter Portable 3rd

You should really find play for this in the OP. Or you can find even more space if you make a pastebin where you keep most of the information.

MH G seems to be Japanese and Korean only so that is out and according to wiki Freedom is build on the top of G.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is build on the top of Portable 2nd (Freedom 2).

I have no idea what you mean by Tri-G, though. I have none of the consoles, so I will be ending with 3rd for now. And while I appreciate the thought of seeing the the gameplay evolving, I don't really think I will be able to play the same game twice one after another and then doing it again with the next one.

The sooner you get on learning Japanese the better off you'll be, both for MonHun and vidya in general, but yeah, if you're stuck with English that's probably the best route at the moment.

The first 3DS title, it's the G expansion for Tri.

Yeah, like I said, it's for people with the patience for that. The path you're taking is mostly enough, main thing to consider is that the original MonHun on PS2 required using the second stick for attacks rather than face buttons, which is about as unwieldly as it sounds.

Oh, I see, you mean Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Released in Japan as Monster Hunter 3 (tri-) G).

As far Japanese goes, I am okayish with understanding spoken Japanese and in the beginning stages of written Japanese, so it will happen.

Yeah, not familiar with foreign names since I don't play 'em. Plus in the case of Tri-G at least and possibly others, the foreign version was toned down in difficulty, so the US/EU version would be one to skip there anyhow.

You can do it user, trust in yourself!

Third gen was the first and only time where difficulty was turned down for baka gaijin

I've heard some that think Cross's foreign version got turned down, though by turning monster HP down instead of upping hunter defense.

Some people ran tests comparing the two and the monster died around the same time IIRC

Nope.

I tested that and I'm sure it's untrue. I used GL shells against a Great Maccao in both versions and got similar times.

Fair enough, don't play the foreign versions myself, so just reporting hearsay

Why the fuck do you want the snowlord armor, they're not good

I still got cross but my save is way far back only like HR2.
