Is the Monster Hunter fanbase the worst of any franchise? I've

The worst video game fanbase is whatever one you want to be the worst.

As someone who has been playing since the first ps2 game: Yes, the MH community is fucking terrible. At least the western one, I know nothing about the japs.

>>387030658
I figured they were just a vocal minority, I've never played a monster hunter though so I usually ignore them unless they come shitting up a souls thread
As a souls fag the soulsborne fan base is bad too

>>387031019
Trying to criticize a game will have you called a shitposter. It's impossible to even remotely discuss the inherent flaws in some games without someone being derogatory.

>>387030658
I think it's just that the people you're complaining about are very vocal, because I've met plenty of people online (random rooms and some friendly thread gatherings.) who just genuinely love the game.
Alot of it's just shitposting for fun too, which gets confusing when even this thread started off like an "ironic" OP.

It's not like it's the exact same shit from the same pile either. They change it around, try new features and tweak things each new game. Compare 3U to 4U for example, same concept but it plays differently enough.

Yeah it is the worst community. Because it's composed of nothing but nintenbros who sit on their handhelds all day. Even in public. Too ignorant to admit pic related as being the best

I always thought the MH community was great.
Always open to conversations online, if you undertake a quest with a high level player they'll put on balancing gear so they don't just carry you and treat you like a baby.
Threads (prior to world announcement) were cozy and everyone would be humble, discussing weapons, monsters, installments.

Don't take it the wrong way, but I have no idea what the hell you're talking about, OP. Has it really gotten that bad with the console warring?

>>387030658
the community is fine and the gameplay complaints are always from casuals.
the game themselves though are quick expansion tier though and they clearly milked it too hard. like there's 4 MH games on 3ds alone.

MH world is going to be huge however. An actual console-based MH is what the series needed.

It begins

>>387031386
>An actual console-based MH is what the series needed.
Literally right here underage >>387031365

How is MH community BAD.

They probably are the only one here that ENJOY PLAYING THEIR GAME

At least it's not like kirby where all they do is talk about how "good" their fanbase is all the fucking time.

>>387031438
It didn't explode until psp and then stayed in portable hell for a decade. The console releases were even just random expansions rather than new games for the hardware.

>>387031480
>ENJOY EATING SHIT
FTFY

I'm not gonna say the games aren't fun, I personally love the franchise, but it's incredibly queer to me that the community seems to be so divisive when it comes to critiquing their favorite series. Fuck, >>387031386 came in here to say that the "complaints" are generally from casuals. There's no such thing as criticism when it comes to Monster Hunter, only bellyaching apparently. Even a casual player could make an astute observation from time and time, they're not incapable of analysis. In fact, it's more likely that a casual player would just keep banging their hand against the grind and fail to see the underlying issues.

Trying to shame people for calling the game out on the bullshit changes in an attempt to shill your game I see.

>>387031903
That's because it's shills pretending to be part of the community and trying to shut down the people who have any kind of concerns over the game.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is a perfect, infallible game that truly preserves the legacy of its predecessor without compromising itself with its design decisions at all.

>>387031951
You know, you are right. I now remember somebody sending me a video of that gaijindude stating only those that dislike MH:W are nintenbabies, obviously blatant shilling. While many fans that have been playing since MH2 or even MH1 dislike many new 'QoL' changes such as activable mantles with cooldowns, swapping gear mid-hunt (I personally believe this is pretty cool but I'm sure many will use this as excuse to AFK/Leech longer), or that magical casual fairy dust.

No one actually defends this cunt's absolutely busted G-rank hitboxes for any other reason than "I've suffered through him, so now everyone else must also suffer". Getting hit by attacks before they've even visually happened is just bad design.

It's a mediocre design, but does it actually happen with Garuga? If yes, what game? I don't remember this scenario

>>387032378
It happens in MH4U G-rank. If you're close to his legs when he decides to do his instant retard run, you'll get hit while he's still standing still, a split second before he actually starts running.

>>387032378
I could be wrong, but I believe he's talking about how your hunter gets hit by the charge before the Gargua even starts moving.
As in, your hunter is already flying backwards through the air by the time Garuga's feet have done that odd looking backwards movement he does when he runs.

Is this webm supposed to be for or against MHW? It clearly shows the fucker running away at full speed from the monster attack while chugging a ice cold Mountain Dew

>>387033801
Healing is over time now because you don't chug your potion all at once. If you get hit during the healing process, you lose all healing. So yeah, for or against, you decide.

>>387033754
The nigger was standing still for no reason when he got hit though.

That's how it would work in a REAL monster hunter game where you cannot move in that animation. The "punishment" for drinking a potion was entirely avoidable in that webm.

>>387033880
Given the current "fans" of World that's not very hard.

>>387033854
But that's irrelevant as getting hit while drinking a potion is EXTREMELY hard.
>>387033903
Exactly, he can run but didn't. The player chose to stand still and get hit for no reason, thus not even taking any advantage of the new potion drinking mechanics.

>>387033954
So you can get hit.

>>387033985
If you let go of the controller, yes.

>>387034032

>>387035583
Someone didn't look at the webm where he's still moving above walking speeds

>>387035996
Yes, not walking speeds because he's using stamina to go up to the standard running speed, like when you run normally without spending stamina.

I got 4U to try out the series because MHW looked pretty cool.
- The 3DS is absolutely terrible for 3D games. I think I could tolerate the camera if I actually had a second analog input to turn it with.
- These initial quests are goddamn boring and there seems to be no end in sight. Fetch quests where you wander around looking for randomly spawning shrubbery and maybe fight a monster that doesn't die in one hit. Great Jaggi is described as the first interesting thing to fight, but I have to disagree. It's just the least boring thing the game has shown me thus far. I think I'd have more patience for this monotonous time filler if the game weren't so damn ugly.
- I did the weapon tutorial quests where you kill a Great Jaggi and I can't really decide on one. Most of the game's difficulty seems to be in learning footwork for the monster's attack pattern. The weapon you choose doesn't really affect tactics, you just have to get used to the weapon's arbitrary meters to fill and specific conditions to meet for maxing damage.

>>387037575
I don't think MH is for you then anon. Don't worry, it happens.

MHW will look better, but it's going to be pretty similar to what you've already played.

>>387037575
Maybe you should try one of the earlier games in the series. The increased tutorialising was due to everyone bitching about the game being hard to get into when really it's not all that complex. They still have a few starter quests but you can breeze through them generally. The PS2, Wii and PSP games might look a little better too and at the very least you won't have quite so small a screen. Weapons do have unique styles to them and affect the approach to combat, but you're right that the main key is learning how to fight the monster specifically. That's not really a bad thing though.

>>387030658
It's only that bad because it's now composed by the worst parts of three different communities, two of which are console warriors.
Other than that, all big games have horrible communities, the only decent communities are those for niche franchises.
>>387037575
Yeah, you're pretty much right for everything, keep in mind that fetch quest galore was a thing mostly for 4U though, not even MH2/FU had all those boring fetch quests, 4U's pacing is abysmal overall.
Keep on playing though, bigger monsters are more fun than a Great Jaggi, if you can't have fun you can try other games, though honestly, most of the hunting games all have the same problem you described with weapons, the only one that doesn't is Soul Sacrifice Delta, but that's hardly a hunting game, more like an arena brawler RPG with big monsters, wish MH could learn a thing or two from it because it would make it an even better game than it is now.

>>387038193
>>387038378
I do have a PSP and can probably emulate Wii and others. Which game would be the best (and hopefully best looking) if I don't like 4U's pacing?

New to 4U here, didn't think this question warranted its own thread. I know that shit like decorations and item multiplication from the wycoon can be done through village quests, but since I got it to play with my friend I'd like to just tackle guild quests, unless maybe one of us is free while the other isn't. Is there any equivalent of this stuff that can be gotten through doing guild quests or is it only attainable by going doing village until I get them?

>>387033109
Thanks, I finally remembered to save this for next time people bitch about the "anime" movesets in MHW. Insect Glaive is the only one really reaching these levels which makes sense considering it's origins, and sadly because they did stuff like this they need to keep some remnants of it in MHW for those that play because of it, but it's not to this extent.

Monster Hunter has incredible design and gameplay and basically no bugs or glitches at all which is impressive. The hitboxes are pretty much perfect in all the latest games, no idea what you're smoking. And the games aren't even that imbalanced, not that it matters a lot anyway since it's PvE.

I criticize the game all the time because I know a lot about it. You are just a shitposting retard.

You mean enhancements to resource multiplication? MHGen I know at least provided the upgrades through Gathering Hall urgents as another means outside of village quests, but in MH4U there's other facilities and features locked behind the village, so there's incentive to go through the entire thing.

In every game kitchen ingredient upgrades are split between the two.

I would but Insect Glaive is basically the same thing now, though at least it uses the jets of air to maneuver in midair as opposed to this which just flips, though that's really flimsy. If it only had the pilebunker launch to get into the air without the flips it wouldn't be so bad since that at least has justification.

LS and DB are the most notable offenders with flashy arts like that though Aerial/Adept styles can be used with any weapon with varying results. Particle effects in Gen/XX are ramped up in general too though.

The biggest difference is that Frontier simply had a power creep.

It was fine when it was only PS2 / PSP games.

When it went to a 240p handheld, to people new to the franchise? That's a different story.

>>387044859
If you're happy playing solo, you can play guild style with no Hunter Arts equipped, which is basically the same as playing regular MH. I think there's also a menu option for toning down the flashy effects, but I don't think you can get rid of them entirely.

>>387031386
>MH world is going to be huge however. An actual console-based MH is what the series needed.

On the contrary, I think that there's a reason that the series ended up going pretty much full handheld in the first place. The core gameplay loop lends it self really well to portable, on the go play sessions.

>>387030658
It honestly sounds like they have a pretty normal conversation, debating hitboxes and whether or not the series belongs on console or handhelds.
Maybe you just need to GIT GUD

>>387045816
If I post my dick on my n3ds xl would you take that back

>>387046104
This. Why the fuck would you play on a stationary console. The thought makes me want to vomit.

>>387046104
>>387046663
Because in a game about going on quests to expansive lands to fight giant monsters, a sense of scale is important to the experience. On a tiny screen you don't get much of that at all. The only reason it really took off on portable was because the hunts just happened to coincide with Japan's travel schedule, and typing it now I can't help but wonder if they've been slowly shortening hunt lengths or trying to stay in that region of time to keep that intact.

>>387047103
I don't know about you, but I felt like a Monster Hunter the same way I played the first time as I will in World. The game never needed to be fuck huge like that, and while I think it'll be a nice change of pace, don't delude yourself into thinking the 3DS games had any less sense of scope as the games before them, they're just focusing on the Hunting part instead of the Monsters like the old games.

>>387047970
The exploration was a big and important part of all the games as far as immersion goes, that's what made the hunting actually feel like tracking a monster, those areas definitely do have to be that size for them to feel like inhabited lands and they weren't even all that big, same with MHW though they are bigger and seamless which is fantastic. I was referring to the smaller screen specifically though, I know the games have the same area and monster size but playing them on a tiny screen greatly diminishes that factor. I wouldn't say the 3DS games focus more on hunting than the games before, MHX was the first game in the series to have it's main new features purely focus on the combat aspect of the game rather than the exploration, crafting or overall hunting.

Personally, the MH games are some of my favourite of all time, but I wouldn't say the community is bad, more along the lines of "divided."
