I think World looks good. For me, Monster Hunter was never about the tedium, merely the thrill of fighting giant dinosaurs and the satisfaction of preparing well for a hunt. Being able to change weapons and armor in combat seems kinda OP but its optional so who cares. What I'm most impressed with is the living world they're tauting. YOur hunter is more capable than ever but maybe higher rank monsters require more mastery of the environment. I don't care about all the streamlining and shit, it all existed before in some way or another in previous games.

If you think this looks bad, just imagine what they did to the village. Its probably good for once

>>181935378

How is it op? It takes years and is only useful when you face a new monster and brought the wrong element.

I like how bowguns control like guns.

before it felt like aiming a greatsword with ammo

>>181937772
I was pretty mad when I saw the cutscene for loc lac, making me think it was going to be a big worldhub where you could meet 19 other players or some shit, like a big online lobby with shops and forges and shit. nah its just the same online lodge shit without a ceiling.

>>181937784
Switching weaps in multi-monster quests, for one thing. But if it's both banned and suboptimal, that's just another nail in the coffin.

>>181937784
Hammer to break parts, Slicing weapon for cutting tails, then HBG for status/maximum deeps.

>living world
Interesting until you realize they ran out of ideas and just put generic item effects in the environment as clutter
Though I'd really like to see quests where the quest marker flies are disabled and you have to find one of several monsters on the map by distinguishing their tracks manually

>>181937853
>making me think it was going to be a big worldhub where you could meet 19 other players or some shit
Overrated, Mezeporta is nice-looking but its size is more cumbersome than nice.

>>181937937
I have a strong suspicion the guide flies will be absent in high rank, and G if there is a G, same way you get randomly dumped somewhere that isn't base camp already.

>>181937928
Oh no, they've gone and fucked it all up
Playing with retards in noskill clownsuits was a part of the game's challenge and they went and casualized that too

>>181937937
My guess is that HR disables flies.

Also, you never know. MH devs have always put in minimum effort so maybe you're right. Lava and ice water are possible hazards, I like how bombs are now environmental. The potential for new traps is off thecharts now. Spider web trap, log fall trap, trip-wire trap. I'll be maximum mad if we don't get these.

We've yet to really see enough footage to know if the tracking system is usable without them, especially once you've already encountered the monster

>>181938583
Yep. And I've been saying it since the first trailer. MGSV was also a breath of fresh air to the long ass franchise, and it only took them 20 years whereas MH took 14. MGSV had the tightest gameplay.

>>181938680

>>181944749
it's one of the three move you had in gen 1

>>181945332
>The only real-time I ever played was Kingdoms of Amalur
you mean.... real time game?


Are you for real?

>>181945331
Good, it does poor damage and has a long recovery and launches teammates. In fact it pretty much exists to help people get mounts, but there are three weapons that can do that better and one that can do it a little worse.

>>181945434
I didn't play 1
But I imagine there are not that many situations where you would use it over a charge, right? What are the MVs?

>>181945660
you can't charge in gen 1
coul be used in 2 to chain charges also

>>181945332
>The only real-time I ever played was Kingdoms of Amalur
Holy shit, and that game still has skills and cooldowns.

You can cancel most moves' recovery with another attack (if the weapon has something that can combo after it) or a dodge (b button). If you're using GS, it's the slowest weapon, but the point is to use the charge attacks to get big chunks of damage in whenever an opportunity presents itself, like when a monster is doing something where it stands still and attacks in front of it so you can just walk up behind it and smack its ass, or when you can time it just right to hit a monster as it comes at you (video below related). It's extremely strong when used even moderately well, but you might want to get more used to the game first.

I would say if you're used to something like Dark Souls or even Elder Scrolls to try Sword and Shield, but apart from the fact that that weapon relies a lot on hyper aggression to keep its damage up, which either gets newer players killed or makes their hunts take forever because they're more cautious, you also said your only real-time game is KoA. Depending what you played in KoA you may find dual blades are more like what you're used to, though, and they're very fast, though you have a lot of attack commitment (one button press = several attacks). If you just want something that doesn't feel like you're moving through syrup and still has good reach and unsheathed walking speed, try longsword. 4U is where it's at its worst in the series, but even then it's a solid weapon and will help you learn the ropes.

Anyway, that GS video

I was just worried if there was something I was missing, like encumbrance or something. I did play some Dark Souls back in the days, but that game is hyper fast.

or are you a souls veteran?

>>181946276
Which is funny because a lot of souls veterans say the newer games are too fast an action-y and not methodical enough, and a lot of MH veterans say the same about recent MH games including 4U. It's all relative I guess.

Anyway, no encumbrance, just each weapon class has its own walking speed when unsheathed and its own attack speeds and everything. The only exceptions are hunting horn, lance and insect glaive. Horn has a song you can play that makes you run faster with the weapon drawn for a couple of minutes, lance has an "attack" that allows you to sprint with the weapon drawn while attacking in front of you (but it drains a lot of stamina) and glaive has a buff you can get from your bug attacking monsters' legs and wings that makes you move about as fast as the horn does (also for a couple of minutes). But sword and shield, dual blades, bow and light bowgun all move almost that fast by default anyway.

Also if you play online with longsword (or another long weapon with wide swipes, like insect glaive or switchaxe), be careful with your R button and X+A attacks that you don't hit other players, especially if they're using SnS or Lance, because it will trip them and make it hard for them to do anything.

>>181946941
You're probably not using it quite right, gunner weapons have weird things a new player isn't likely to catch onto. All of them have "critical distance," which means if you're too close or far from the monster you'll barely do any damage, but if you're in the goldilocks zone you'll do a load of damage. That area is different for each ammo/bow type, but if you see a bright flash when it hits the monster and your screen shakes, that means you're the right distance away. Plus with bow you should always try to charge the weapon, and with all weapons you should hit weakspots as often as possible, which are usually but not always the head.

The game can definitely be tough to get into, but once you pass the barrier of entry it's extremely engrossing, and you start to pick up the rest faster and faster- I only used three weapon types for my first few hundred hours, then started gradually picking up others, and ended up learning the last six or so weapons at the same time. Once you understand the fundamentals, you can generally apply them pretty well to other things in the game, be that new monsters, new weapons, new maps, etc.

I'm starting to think that picking Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate just to play once in a while wasn't a good idea. Most of the other games i have on 3DS can be picked and played any time with just a quick trip to the control screen to remember what does it do, but 4U sounds like it's a lot more complicated than that.

MH just takes a long initial investment so the learning curve can be pretty steep. But once you get past around 20 hours, things will start to become second nature and you can do a hunt or two at a time and then do something else.

>>181947948
I don't mind a learning curve, but I'm worried about fucking myself up in the long run. Like missing uniques items or switching from a good weapon to a shitty weapon with no way to turn back.

Thankfully, it seems you can redo the same quests over and over, so it's not that much of an issue.

>a special action when you press R (sometimes an extra attack)
>a standard three-hit infinite combo using a combination of X, A, XA or R
>some kind of gimmick

For longsword, your gimmick is a meter under your health and stamina. This is your "spirit gauge." Using it is simple. Hit the monster, it goes up, go too long without hitting the monster or use one of your R button attacks, it goes down. Max it out and it will flash for a while, this means you have a small attack buff. And when you complete your R button combo (just mash R with a full bar until you automatically sheathe your weapon), it and the blade of your sword glow white, then if you do it again they go yellow, then red, signifying increasing attack buffs. These last a while then go away if you can't upgrade them, going back to a dull sword.

To start with, with an empty gauge, your default combo is just A, then X, then X again. You can repeat this infinitely and roll out of it after any attack. Alternately, at any time during this combo, you can end it and move out of the way by pressing x and a together, which makes you hop backward while slashing, or hold left or right on the circle pad while doing that to do so in that direction.

Once your gauge is full, you want to do a full spirit combo, meaning you mash R until you do a big roundslash that sheathes your sword. That roundslash is what gets your spirit gauge to start glowing, and to move from white to yellow to red. You can also press X in between R slashes to keep your gauge filled a little more. When you have a long opening (or when you are more used to using it), a full gauge and ideally a yellow or red sword, us RXRXRX as your infinite, but use X+A to stop the combo before you autosheathe, then press R again to rush right back in.

Oh, and this guide helps a lot. Note the tabs on the top for each weapon class, each one has individual guides. The first tab also has tips for each monster and more general info.

>>181949078
I just realized there's a missing R in the recommended LS combo, you have to infinite up to the roundslash but not do it and fade instead.

NOBODY WILL KNOW IF I EAT HER AFTERWARDS
AND EVEN IF THEY KNEW THEY WOULD BE POWERLESS

>>181949375
If I recall correctly, that's actually because X+A -> R skips the first spirit slash. Either way, after using it for a few hunts you'd probably understand that if you press R again instead of X+A after the triple hit attack you'll do a roundslash. I accidentally added an extra X in >>181948963 and failed to mention that, though.

Is it not considered super easy to use? Its attacks just flow better and feel more simple to use than anything else, plus the movement speed. I'm not an ez mode pleb?

>>181950425
It is neither the easiest nor hardest weapon to use, at least imo. I feel the same way though, the fact that you can combo anything except the same attack over and over and its good reach make it very adaptable as the monster moves around.

Try to do the math of Element shots if you want something spicy.

It has a sideswipe on x+a for catching monsters that move to the side (plus back+x during a charge to whip around and do an extra powerful sideswipe), and r+x+a (or the special button on the touchscreen) makes you do a sprint with the weapon drawn (I recommend dash juice if you use it a lot). forward+b during the sprint allows you to jump and do an aerial attack, like IG's less agile older brother.

3U is easier to solo

>>181955394
Well, it's about 5-10 minutes for a hunt if you're good, around 15 if you're average.
>>181955575
3U monsters take a lot longer to die and it's stingier with drops, not to mention a new player is going to be totally screwed by charm tables unless they do the proper research.

I just hit G rank in MHXX. Currently I'm G2

What stuff do you recommend I do first for Armors and weapons, and other upgrades I can obtain?

>>181946470
What the fuck is wrong with you people

>>181956215
I've been using pioneered high rank gear, because the stuff I had from my gen save has better skills than any full set I can craft and I can't get ASS to save my charms to search sets without manually working out how to get skills for hours just to miss something I can't craft yet but could after one hunt. Thus far I haven't had issues except early on before I had stuff to pioneer with or any decent G rank weapons, just hit G4 (I'm >>181955382). Some weapons don't seem to get good options until pretty late. If you aren't using IG, you'll be able to make a weapon that will pretty much outclass anything else you can make for a good bit once you hit G3, because Lao-Shan Lung's weapons are really good when you get them (in terms of raw and sharpness- And then they have a bunch of dragon element as the cherry on top).

That said, any G rank weapon seems to be better than any high rank weapon and you probably won't be able to pioneer many high rank weapons to worthwhile G rank versions for a bit.

>>181956826
Oh, IG or a gunner weapon, the Lao-Shan Lung gunner weapons are all pretty lackluster unless I'm missing something. That's par for the course for gunner though, it's like 50-50 whether something that's good for every BM weapon will be excellent or total trash for gunners.

I don't follow these threads or anything so the usual E3 fears. Mostly the word "westernized" used as a positive. Stuff like being able to run while healing, no flex animation (which was one of my favorite small mechanics), that sort of thing.

Not all of it sounds bad mind you. Damage numbers doesn't bother me at all so long as there's no health bar. Inventory being accessible via camp actually sounds like it would add more depth, etc.

don't even bother with the JP version, it's too much hassle, too expensive, and you'll probably get banned.

thankfully the TW version sidesteps all of that bullshit, all you have to do is install the game and change your timezone during play. it's also way easier to play for a gaijin because the english community is larger and there are far more resources.

>>181959745
That does help, ya. I like the flex mechanic a lot though. The fact that you can heal so quickly and potentially just negate a hit, but the trade off is a much longer post-heal "stun" is perfect. I guess time will tell.

>>181959852
yeah, however, it's cheaper than your usual monthly sub game. 10-12$ depending on your region.

>>181961775
Maybe like a gunner weapon. Run around, shoot your kinsect. Feed it stuff to get different shot effects

>>181961473
The newer endgame stuff is blatantly balanced around you using extreme style, and not having access to the mobility and parries is going to put you at a serious disadvantage.

Also, Frontier styles for the most part are supposed to be straight upgrades.

>>181961775
Kinsect is a weapon. It does significant, if not very good, damage, and at least in 4U you can solo almost any quest with it.

>>181961627
The thing I want is use the same Kinsect on different Glaive.

>>181961953
XX already has that.

>>181961953
It seems like that will be the case. There is an icon in the weapon chests that looks like the kinsect, meaning you would equip it seperately

>>181961941
i dont think it's balanced around anything but evasion +2 like everything else.
keep in mind, two weapons with extreme style mobility already existed in the game, and they both weren't the best weapons.

>>181962072

Not true, a lot of jackasses expect you to be an expert after 20 hours. Most of them suck at the game and blame you when they fuck up, even if you have 1500+ hours and play almost flawlessly the entire time.

>>181968874

>>181968610
Keep playing 4U until you're bored or you can't stand how dead it's gotten. Then either play 3U (if it's not because of the latter reason) or XX (if you are able). Alternately, if it's been long enough, skip XX to the next good MH.

By fighting different monsters.
The game is not only about weapon depth, but also about the different approaches you need with different monsters. The fun of the game is learning the nuances of every new monster you fight. And after that comes the armour crafting, mixing sets to get different skills and try out different setups.
Monster hunter is one of the easier games to lose a couple of 100 hours in.

there's like 3 monsters you can't cheese by waiting for them to turn and lv3 charging their head and then rolling away because flinches are guaranteed

>>181969734
a combination of smoke bombs, the fence, a lost musket set, and a heck of a lot of farcastering away like a pussy got me through it my first time.

>>181969493
It's fun to go there and help them by using cockteasing slutty relic sets while using weak but fun weapons.

Too bad the game is this dead, this is why people shouldn't blindly go to the newest game.

>>181969929
I was not talking about GS alone

>>181963381
Dreadqueen is fun. More fun solo that in a group.

>>181970006
GS and Hammer basically play the same.

How do you even know if you're dealing damage?

Just got Gen, what should I know going in?

It's shit. possibly the worst game in the franchise.

It's great. possibly the best game in the franchise.

Farcasters are how you cheese anything in the arena that isn't actually an arena quest. Always solid advice if you're struggling with one of those, I didn't end up using them as much as I expected but I had to use a few in my first successful Master's Test in 4U.

Apart from that, flash bombs bring a flying rath crashing down. If you have one isolated, you can plant a pitfall trap under it, start hitting it while the trap deploys and for a combo or two while it's in the trap, then sheathe and get ready to flash bomb and repeat when it flies out of the trap. In fact pretty much all winged monsters can be cheesed this way once you get them into the first pitfall. It won't be a viable way to take both out, but it should get you like halfway to killing one of them and make your life a lot easier.

Do all the hunters have nice butts?

>>181974114
how do i zinogre+stygian in the arena

>>181974260
Get em to hurt each other! Pretend you're a bullfighter. If you don't mind getting a bad time, this is a really easy way to do any multi-monster quest.

>>181973621
It's a big step back from 4U (and a step forward but into a pile of shit in a lot of ways), but it's still better than the older games, which have aged poorly. If you were a lance or CB main before, I'm so sorry. On the other hand, if you were not a lance main before, lance is extremely powerful now (it just plays totally differently), so now may be the time to give it a try!

Exaggeration. Also stop comparing a G rank game to an HR game. No, weapon balance changes don't count, literally ALL games have horribly skewed weapon balance except 3U.

>>181975941
XX is still a big step back, so the "i-it's not a G rank game" argument doesn't hold up anymore.

>>181975941
It's not about weapon balance, it's about playstyles being completely fucked. HBG is bad for it too, and SA was made worse, not that it was good in the first place.

>tfw got the fucking crook second try

Thanks for hunting with me!

>>181976161
>and SA was made worse, not that it was good in the first place
It should be noted that the two weapons that were the most ruined (lance and SA) also because the top two weapons in TA. Funny how that worked out.

>>181976061
>XX is still a big step back,
not an argument
>>181976161
HBG ruined how? It's always been the top weapon in all games? Didn't they fix the axe mode in XX?

In a hentai parody of MH, losing a hunt would get you spanked.

It was nothing. I like to help others to get their stuff.

>>181976357
Because HBG in X is all siegemode all the time, thanks to adept. And in the case of XX, brave. I guess XX did fix SA somewhat with tempest axe and brave.

>>181976619
I almost never used siegemode with Mizu LBG

>>181976215
This seriously is really good. Frontier has some awesome fucking music.

>>181976357
He explicitly said it's about playstyle, not balance.
>citing the way things are in XX isn't an argument with regards to Generations except when I use it as an argument
LMAO.

I would pay for a VR game where you just sit next to a fireplace and sleep in a tent in the middle of nowhere
that looks so fucking comfy

>>181977301
With the right mods, Skyrim can have that.

Not VR, though.
