How do I stop being afraid of the monsters

>>383527117
I actually want to get into the whole monster hunter games. They look fun as fuck any recomendations I'm willing to buy a new 3ds just to play these games

>>383528293
You have to realise that the biggest monster you can ever face doesn't live in the ancestral steppe but rather inside of yourself.

>>383527117
Are you me op?? I just got this and a 2ds and I want to like it so bad but fuck the controls are killing me.

>>383528293
You are the monster, anon.

>>383528515
you may want to even look into emulating some of the older ones, as the series prior to fourth generation hasn't changed to much. you'll also save money if you end up not liking them

>>383528293
You must realize they aren't really monsters but graphical representations of programmatic code that are designed to execute certain patterns based on a given set of variables corresponding to a situation represented in the game's virtual environment.

You think that's rations you're eating?

>>383532148
you're ruining my immersion!

>>383532431
Immersion is for blacklisted shitters. The only thing that matters is hunt times.

MH4U is the best monster hunter game on the market right now and will probably play most similarly to MH:World when that comes out. It still has people playing it despite being older because MH:Gen is hot garbage for casuals so people are going back to it. MH4U is pretty casual too but world will be equally casual so its fine.

How the fuck do I pick which weapon or armor upgrades to make? What should I be looking for? Also, as a Greatsword/Longsword user, is every resource useful? Should I be picking up and keeping everything I find? What do the nectars do? What about fish or bugs? This game is kind of overwhelming, but I'm enjoying it so far.

>>383533354
pick whatever look cool, it really doesn't matter too much for low rank. Every resource is useful in case you want to try new weapons, especially when you learn how boring greatsword is. Nectars are for insect glaive users. fish and bugs are useful for general crafting/upgrades.

>>383533060
>Non-buggy gameplay = casual
You FUfags need to stop, it's getting unhealthy at this point. You'll end up surpassing Meleefags in turns of analpain, and that's not a stigma you want.

What am I supposed to be doing? Just do the caravan quests until I do them all, then start doing the gathering hall quests? I don't have friends to play it with, so can I even viably do them?

>>383533923
>move that lets you super evade out of any frame for any animation that recharges after hitting the monster 3 times
>unbalanced styles leading to broken weapon/style combos
also no g-rank and 30fps, how do people defend this shit. And personally I think gen 3 is better than 2 having played both

>>383534372
MH4U has G-Rank beyond G-Rank and also 60fps.

>>383534018
Caravan is single player only, gathering hall is for multiplayer. You can find random people online to party with so its fine if you dont know anyone with the game. I would recommend doing all of the caravan quests and finishing the story so that you get comfortable with the game and actually learn things, going into gathering hall too early can lead to accidentally being carried and being at a way higher level than you should be.

>>383534498
I was talking about gen. 4u is fine besides chargeblade/glaive being too strong. I don't like mounting but it doesn't win you hunts by itself.

Just copped a N3DS, what's the best entry on the system if I wanna play it with a friend?

Pick up everything you find. Every. Fucking. Thing. At the very least, don't throw anything away. MH is actually a hoarding simulator in disguise. They're all useful for something, eventually. Even stuff like fish and bugs are used in crafting certain weapons and armor.

Especially because you're a new player, you're highly encouraged to try out every type of weapon to find one that "clicks" for you. Greatsword is great for starting out, because it forces you to commit to attacks and learn the basic patterns for every category of monster (bipedal wyverns tend to turn 90 - 180 degrees after every major attack, and tailswipes tend to come in twos at a time...etc).

There's a lot to learn, but instead of trying to master everything at once, play at your own pace, and just look shit up when you get curious or run into a wall.

The general rule regarding weapons is that multi-hit weapons with long combo strings are better suited for status effects like poison, sleep, and paralysis (usually that's SnS, bowguns, and DBs). For literally everything else, raw damage and decent sharpness trumps all.

For armor, there will be people telling you that certain ones are useless because they don't give you good skills. Don't listen to them. Just pick the ones that look coolest to you. There's very little instance where armor skills make or break hunts, at best they just make things a bit more convenient or easier. The tradeoff of looking like a clown is definitely not worth. Hunting with cool gear and being proud of the fact that you earned the shit out of it is what the game is truly about.

strong maybe, but not broken

How do i deal with goldian doing the fly behind you with immediate tail flip? I just don't get it. I even roll the moment she gets behind me, but you just don't cover enough distance to avoid it. Superman dives are a gamble because she might do a delayed one. Is there a direction i should face or run?

You cheese it with traps and flash bombs, or go online and get 3 other fuckers to gangbang its tender wyvern womb with you.

I really hope you're not grinding for low percent drops in high rank

>>383538051
ironically rare drops aren't much of an issue in 4U. It are the common drops from high and low Everwood exclusives that are a pain. Fuck everything about Ruby Basarios wings dropping like one at a time

Who else loves the swaxe? It was the first weapon I used in tri and fell in love with it. I havent played gen but is it true you can basically use blade mode endlessly?

>>383541332
Brave Switch Axe in XX and Heaven Style SA are my jam, not so much everything else. I've been trying to get into Extreme style SA but is feel like a complete step down from Heaven Style which was actually SWITCH Axe. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong since I don't really have anyone to play with
