When XX was confirmed I was pretty much forced to buy the switch now. The thing about Nintendo handles is that there's always an update ALWAYS. It's probably going to happen with the switch too and then I'm going to feel bad I didn't wait to get the upgrade. Monster Hunter Hype is too good to miss.

I always thought hunting pokemon would be an extremely fun idea and would be a good chance to create new monster skeletons and movesets. The only reason it wouldn't happen is because Game Freak wouldn't be happy seeing their creatures being killed even though they could just flee after taking so much damage.

I doubt that. They never update their home consoles (save for the Wii mini) and I suspect it's due to the hefty price tag and how there's always a ton of room for improvement for their handhelds. In contrast, the Switch looks like they nailed it on the first run, so I would be very surprised if they came out with a Switch lite or some variant.

>tfw no mhxx on vita

I don't get the hate on a possible MH5 for PS4

Isn't MHXX enough? Haven't you played the exact same formula enough times by now? How many more gimmicks and mechanics can they add, don't you find that MHX already crosses that line a bit? You want MORE gimmicks on top after MHXX? ~
Even if you want more of the same you can just go back and play a different game. Try out the first one ever, it has a pretty different feeling, or go emulate MH3P translated, you probably haven't played that one yet.
With MHX/XX it seems pretty obvious this is the end of this formula. All the fanservice and callbacks are a huge flag for a reboot, not to mention that sales are stagnating and with the end of 3DS they can't simply recycle PS2 models the same way they have this past decade. It's also pretty clear the X series was a lower effort half-step with no new weapons, cutscenes or the same flare as previous generations, like the monster intros of MH4U compared to MHG, or OC villages instead of MHG's recycled ones. Good indication that development resources are being spent somewhere else for these past years

I for one am more excited for a reboot than a continuation. I want that surprise the first gave, a true homeconsole feel instead the of half-assed upscaled ports we've had ever since.

It'd be less fun, but the answer is that Pokemon replace the cats. You go hunt Monster Hunter monsters but you have Pokemon helping you or you just are a Pokemon. The latter less likely, since it'd mean having to make a lot of different armor models for various species.

>>378282746
If you played multiple iterations of the same series and did not enjoy, why did you continue to play it? you are like that otter that would.t stop eating the watermelon even though it showed complete disgust in doing so.

i have a feeling that Sony is funding this movie hoping it bombs at the box office to damage the brand in the west to get back at Capcom

How're the bows in the more recent monster hunter games? Last one I've played was Tri Ultimate on the Wii U. Normally use lance or hammer but I've been wanting to try ranged.
Charge blade seems fun too.

>>378308685
>MH4U
Introduces Power Shot (allows two consecutive charge shots) and an alternate set of bow controls. Kama Sedition, a Rapid-type bow, ended up shitting on every bow in the game.

>MHGen
Bows can now have both Arc and Power shots, but styles remove one or the other. Bow of Light & Courage became the new Kama Sedition and also almost shat on everything in the game, with others being a lot more niche (like Alatreon's). Adept style shits on the rest of the styles by giving the weapon a safer dodge in exchange for giving up arc shot. Guild gets a backflip into a charge shot but nobody cares.

>MHXX
Teostra's bow turned out to be shittier in G-Rank. Rapid arrows are now bugged in that some arrows will not register properly, leaving it with roughly a -20% damage malus, and so people are looking into Heavy arrows as a result. Brave style allows for a triple charged shot but if one Gunner weapon has a ridiculous Brave style, it's HBG.

Prowler? You see, Capcom made cats more complicated than they needed to be and you can use a Palico instead of your hunter. They have a basic combination melee/ranged moveset with no stamina or items, and three retries before carting. The aim is to fill up an incremental meter and then expend it to use various buffs.

They have a number of exclusive quests, notably this gets in the way in village because you need to do some of them to upgrade and expand on the trader (farm equivalent) and the game doesn't tell you which ones upgrade what so you just do the Gathering Hall urgents instead to unlock them, much easier. Some of them include breaking a single large monster part because it appeared that Capcom wasn't expecting people to properly hunt with them, but what was intended to be the 'fuck around' mode actually ended up becoming stronger than a lot of the weaker weapons in Gen thanks to piercing boomerang spam. In XX they got hit with the nerf stick along with some changes to make each cat archetype more unique.

Also in XX, you now have a style that for most weapons gimps your moveset for a barrel you need to charge up and then shake for shitty party buffs so you can pretend you're helpful. Alchemy Hammer is better than Striker Hammer though.

MHGen/XX effectively jumped the shark, and styles and hunter arts do come off as very experimental. MH4U is still pretty 'grounded' to an extent, though not in the literal sense since they added ledges and a mounting mini-game you trigger via aerial attacks that's like a status. That and the two weapons it added got nerfed.

Also you've heard of Stories, right?

Oh yes, I've heard of Stories. Don't have much interest in it, one of the reasons why I like Monster Hunter is for the combat, it's all really heavy and you gotta commit to your moves but god it's so satisfying landing those charged attacks on a monster 4 times your size and making him stagger or fall flat on his ass.

I think Styles and Arts are a neat idea that need a lot of work. Shaking up the playstyles for weapons to add variety sounds pretty good. They just had some of the options be clearly better than others. MH4U was also my first so I don't mind mounting and think giving heights in maps could lead to better maps, or worse ones.

I like the idea of alternate movesets, but the current execution isn't great. Right now every style in the game forces a weapon to wrap around its core idea and I don't think this works because the compromises each weapon gets is not exactly made 'equal', this is most prevalent for Gunner weapons because what the fuck are they going to do, take away the ability to shoot? Now you have an HBG that gets a +25% increase in ROF and even more mobility, it's fucking stupid.

Instead, styles should take a more hand-crafted approach and alter how a weapon plays specifically, leaving the choice to how the player prefers to play the weapon, like golfswing or charging Hammer or something. I think some like Striker and maybe even Brave made some steps towards something like this for a few Blademaster weapons, the rest come across as too gimmick-driven.

Arts on the other hand? Unless your weapon has a few arts that are actually good, Absolute Readiness just shits on the rest of these so much it's not even funny. Just limit it to one long-charging super move that does mega damage or something.

>giving heights in maps could lead to better maps, or worse ones.

The alterations in terrain in MH4U was the worst part about its maps, though. There is nothing wrong with a little verticality here and there, especially if it is avoidable, but 4U's maps had a lot of fighting against steep slopes and ledges, it gets obnoxious and can makes the surrounding parts that you want to fight the monster on feel a lot more cramped than fighting Lagiacrus in the bottom-right part of the Flooded Forest.

Worse offender is the desert map in 4u. If a monster ever get into the dunes area I'll give them a few dung bombs to move away.

Is there such thing as a good MH map?
