how the fuck are you supposed to play ths shitty game? the combat

Ok

>>376038835
sweet been waiting on a monhun thread.

does anyone know if we'll be getting new weapons soon? want more ways to play

>>376038936
If they introduce a new blademaster weapon yet again instead of a gunner one there's gonna be blood

Combat would be better if the monsters weren't so cheap and your i-frames started the beginning of your roll animation rather than during. Then again these games are designed so that four players gangbang one monster.

>>376039075
this. we need more ranged weapons. I really only use the LBG. Bow doesn't do enough damage and HBG is too slow imo

>>376039075
I sincerely will accept ANY new gunner weapon, even medium bowgun return will be gladly accepted but I want a machine gun.

Fucking dual swords can even proper gunlance cuz they are doing their autismatic shit and getting hitted by the fucking rathian tail... i have to shoot'em away

>>376039838
Cant even fucking gunlance*

What weapons is the best weapons for a beginner to the series? I tried the rod, hammer, saber, sword + shield so far, but rod is the most fun ive had with the weapons so far, but the extract mechanic seems weird imo

>>376040452
easily the dual blades. they're pretty much the de facto beginner weapon

>>376040452
Sword and Shield is the most vanilla.
The moves are simple and don't require you to commit to the animations since they're so short and you can roll out of them.

Useful for learning your pace and escaping monster patterns.

How would you design a new gunner weapon? Besides MBG, I mean.

>>376040698
Something with the phial or kinsect mechanic. As for the weapon itself, no idea

>>376040698
maybe you shoot harpoons and try to pin down the monster with the ropes?

>>376040698
Dual pistols, Bazooka, Boomerang, Javelin.

They cater to the majority, and people prefer to play with blademaster weapons. I'll agree though, I really want a new gunner weapon.

>>376040698
Maybe a summoner weapon that controls a bug like the kinsect.

>tfw no mhxx on vita

Why does Generations feel so soulless

How about a greatbow?

>>376041494
what do you mean?

>played FU mostly hammer and lance, love using them
>move on to the next games and use something else
>completely lose the abilty to use them

Jesus fuck. Going back to any of those just makes me go "hurr how i monster hunter" even though i'm reaching 3000 hours soon in the series

>>376040452
For melee use Lance, is easy to learn and master, it also allow you specialize in 2 main ways of combat and both ways are viable, lance is a weapon that will keep you safe while doing good damage.

For ranged use LBG is safe and fast is not so strong but always gets the job done, the weapon is super flexible so you can use elemental, normal, pierce, explosive or status gunning, but the easiest one is normal gunning so Normal LV2 is the way to go, cheap, easy, safe and viable, just master the positioning and you are gold.

Do I play 4U or Gen?

>>376041803
I played 4u as my first and dont plan to start anytime into gen. But i do have XX downloaded but i need to get a patch for english....

Just use Insect Glaive and Aerial Style you'll thank me later.

>>376041494
>>376041720
I assume you mean a lot like the differences between LBG, and HBG, but for bow?

>>376042128
so just a heavier bow with greater damage? how would that be different from a HBG?

>>376040698
Machine gun + harpoon gun hybrid, elemental ammo and normal ammo, the most you use it the hottest it will get so you have to attack constantly and you use the harpoon as a finisher, the harpoon shot gain different effects and more damage as it gets hotter but after shooting the harpoon, the heat bar gets reset.

>>376042437
would make more sense if you had to use harpoons until the machine gun cooled down

>>376042213
Well HBG have siege mode, greatbow don't, but fuck bows, bows are boring, give me a flail/hook launcher or a Drome/Great monster taming whip.

>>376042213
I can picture it as sort of a mini-dragonator.

Console MH when?

>>376041720
this >>376042128

>>376042213
I know it will be like Dark Souls, but what other options are there? Bullets? Lasers?

>>376043002
But the harpoon is shoot by the weapon's heat, like a pressure powered shot or something.

>>376043438
I assumed the harpoon was a secondary fire in that idea
>>376043139
magic blasts?

>>376043139
How about a cannon that acts like the gunner equivalent to the great sword?

>>376044138
fuck that we need faster guns not slower ones

>>376044138
As a gunner I have to say that staying in place for too long is the dead for a gunner, HBG is slow enough and can out DPS a GS.

>>376044637
Make it so firing the cannon pushes you back as well.

>>376041170
NO G RANK

I'd love a super mobile gunner weapon. Something like dual pistols, or even one pistol, or a rifle.

You fire off shots, and its side dodges are like a quick cartwheel, and forward and back dodges are flips and nonsense.

Aerial style type combat in all weapon styles. Crawling all over the monster to pop it in the head and back.

I would like the tonfas from frontier to be added. They look super neat.

>>376039075
I'm pretty sure they will announce the giant boomerang in MH5.

>>376045713
Fuck off with this P2W overpowered piece of shit.

>>376045389
But the whole point of gunning is that you don't need to be super mobile because you're attacking from a distance. I actually think >>376044138 has the right idea. A single shot canon blast that's basically a gunner's great sword.

Is MH actually harder than dark souls? Asking because every souls player I know in real life shits on monster hunter because the controllers suck, there no health bars for enemies, etc etc. They make it sound like a bad game but I see it more like a challenging game.

>>376045903
>the whole point of gunning is that you don't need to be super mobile because you're attacking from a distance

Kinda this.

Gen's adept LBG is extremely mobile and it feels like heaven it is just right, but if we get something even faster it might break the game.

>Start up generations again recently
>Hacking away at a Khezu when I notice my character doing a weird attack at the end of the X combo
>Only realise after finishing 4u and starting generations that there's a X+A attack at the end of the X combo

>>376046115
How would you define "hard"? In some cases, DS is harder than MH, while the opposite is true in other cases.

>>376045903
>attack from a distance
I don't know how you gun but I'm up on the fucking front lines. Unloading my LBG inches from a dragon's ugly mug

>>376046115
monster hunter is hard if you don't grind for gear.
Actually mon hun is just get gud gear: the game

>>376045389
... you mean bows?

>>376046115
I don't get this. are these players using different weapons than I am? the controls are good for me at least

>>376046371
For what purpose? You're not hitting for critical damage that close, and with half the defense, your needlessly putting yourself at risk.

Anyone want to play some XX?

>>376046115
I've played hundreds of hours of both and count them both among my favourite games, and while there are some similarities it's really apples and oranges. Whether it's HARDER than Dark Souls depends on which Monster Hunter game you're talking about. 4U's level 120 were harder than Dark Souls in my opinion, but Generations is much easier.

No health bars is definitely a good thing for MonHun, it's a game about working together in a group and just sticking to the strategy: don't get hit, and keep hitting it until it dies.

>>376046548
>critical damage
depends on the ammo
>risk
because standing your ground while the monster charges you only to blast it in the face and watch it die last second feels fucking good

>>376046115
DS and MH are hard for different reasons.

DS is hard for the occasional bullshit maps (Sen's Fortress) bullshit happenings (dragon's surprise fire on the bridge) and enemy placements.

MH is hard because the monsters are an endurance test, not only they can easily kill you at any given time but they also take heavy amounts of damage before they die and you usually fight 1 to 3 of them or more per quest, many times 2 of them at the same time.

>>376046695
I'll play whenever they release it for the west

>>376046548
On his defense if he uses normal shot then he can be at "close" range, sometimes it is better to be close to the monster to evade the attacks, pierce required distance to work tho, and elemental don't give a fuck about critical distance so he can be close if he wants.

>it's a hunt in the v.hollow episode

>>376038835

Only actual issue with MH is the controller youre using to play it on. It would be much better with MKB or even a regular gamepad so you can turn the camera. Yeah snapping onto the creature does help a bit but its not great.
