which monster hunter game is ya fave?

>>1530689
mh3u
i recently found my wii u in storage and fired it up just to find out the servers had been shut down this year

>>1530689
I've only played world so I have to say world
I have a shit cpu so I can't even emulate the old games above like 15 fps so it kills it for me

>>1530689
FU purely out of emotional attachment to the village theme

I don't like how gay and shitposty mh threads on vg are

>>1539937
ditto

hopium

>>1530854
weird, I assumed that if it can run world then it can emulate things just as well
I have an i5-8350U laptop and it can do 30fps in mh4

>>1548050
the one that starts you out on a sand barge banging a gong to make a big sand shark surface was like 10-15 fps the whole time, idk what to tell you
granted my cpu is from like a decade ago and it was underperforming even on launch but still
maybe the emulator was just poorly optimized or something, it's been a while and I don't even remember which it was

Why did they make savage jho such an unfun bitch to fight? Normal jho was already walking the line between fun and tedious, but this thing sucks
>always enraged
>can't get weakens on his parts so you can actually break them in a reasonable amount of time for 70% of the fight, because he's always attacking, and every attack turns half his body into a pin hitbox

>tremors from 10 feet away

>shitty hitboxes

I can beat him just fine, but it always takes forever and none of it is enjoyable. Thinking about picking up bowguns just so I can skip the majority annoyance of this shitmon

>dungpods don't work on silver shitalos
But I don't want to fight him in the zone with the constantly falling crystals that has 0 slinger ammo for claggers

so it turns out it is still possible to emulate MHGU on PC with 60fps, and online multiplayer is working just fine. is anyone down to start fresh?

>>1554296
I've been playing the village quests and I'd be up to start the hub ones, but there's no one playing online anymore, I think most people aren't aware that ryujinx ldn still works. Just give me a time and I'll try to be there.

>>1554296
>>1554608
is GU the one with the unscaled quests or is that 4U

>>1530689
4U. I've only played World, 4U, and stopped at mid High-Rank for 3U (but I will get back to it once I've fought all monsters in 4U).

>>1554669
Oh I forgot I also finished Rise, just completely left my memory.

>>1554608
i still see some public rooms when i search for public hubs. that said i never join any of them
>>1554646
you mean scale to number of players?

>>1554646
I'm pretty sure the monsters don't scale to the number of players if that's what you're asking. I remember being complete dead weight while 2 other people tore through missions in about 4 or 5 minutes.

>>1554734
>>1554834
>you mean scale to number of players?
yeah, like the village quests or the hub quests are always scaled to 4 people, so it's always a slog solo, I just forget which game

>>1555832
afaik world is the first game to have real player scaling, i.e, if someone joins your game mid-hunt the monster's hp will scale to 2x if there are 2 players, 2.5x if there are 3 and 4.
in older games, monsters from hub quest always have more hp but that's not due to player scaling. they are just inherently like that because the devs expect you to hunt with other players online

>>1530689
>which monster hunter game is ya fave?

World is actually the best but original for nostalgia

I keep trying to hint to my friends that they need ice weapons for alatreon but they keep insisting water or dragon or lightning weapons are better since it's never outright immune to those elements. They keep failing at the judgement blast and it's like pulling teeth trying to explain to them that they aren't gonna reach the elemental threshold if they keep using the wrong element

>>1556057
Just show them the wiki page for Alatreon.

>>1556057
ill never understand how people can't figure this out, its so fucking simple. i see tragedies in the making like this on the SOS list all the time

>>1556339
>blast weapons

>>1556279
Can't, they won't look stuff up until after they've beaten a monster, which y'know, fair enough & based.
It's just insanity though because they've done it like 10 times now and haven't learned anything. I've shown them the hunter notes many times, which literally states that you need to do enough elemental dmg to weaken the nova, and that alatreon is weakest to ice in his fire form, but all they got out of that was that they could cycle the resistances and "oh wowie-zowie it's never immune to water or thunder or dragon let's use those!!"
>>1556339
Same, I was thinking about posting a "does he know" meme here the other day since I saw a group using nothing but status weapons but I figured it was par for the course

>eats our last cart
I keep having the lesson forced upon me that I'm not allowed to play the weapons I want to if I want to help randos and that I should just be spamming stick ammo and clusterbombs with a HBG instead.

since im starting a new save anyway i might as well try playing ranged the first time. ive tried using the bow in gu with different control settings and never seem to find the right one. any tips?

>>1530689
4U is the GOAT and most universally accessible without losing it's identity. FU/2G are close second, World gets props for making a ~4 mil sales franchise mostly for japs into a mainstream game in the west.

Though it's starting to look like really generic anime slop now, it's missing something from the portable days where there was still some jank and goofy stuff

MH4U online is alive on Pretendo, anyone want to play? Currently high rank, not rushing.

If you still have your 3DS you can play on it with CFW, or rip the files to emulate.

>>1530689

What's the deal with master rank kushala's randomly exploding tornadoes?

Any FU playas in here?

>>1595267
I was just about to start fresh, actually. I don't think I've ever actually made it to HR in FU.

every time I get to MR in world I'm reminded of the fact greatsword sucks and wasn't balanced around fighting monsters that run around like adhd zoomers

I came to /vm/ to see if anybody plays Frontier here? Seems like the /mhg/ server is dead, so I assume that everyone plays on public servers if anything? What do you think of the game?

>>1595688
I solod all of pre G-rank, no halk pots or followers. It was the coolest MH experience by far. Being walled by a single Supremacy monster for a whole month really brought me back to when I first started Monster Hunter.

Then I got to G-rank and got bored fast. Extreme style turns it into a game I don't like, kinda like RiseBreak, and it seemed the grind got a lot steeper there with a lot less wow factor than the Gou and Supremacy grind. Just the usual oldschoolmonsters but they all have 1 new attack that's just a big aoe

>>1595267
I've been doing an F2 replay, trying to fit it in before Wilds release. F2 over FU since it was my first MH. Currently almost done with all village quests minus double Rajang, but I'm gonna try to clear it with LR gear anyway

>>1595362
>>1595837
I'm working my way through high rank right now, enjoying it a great deal. You guys ever tried multiplayer on these older games? Doing it with randoms sadly has the issue of people joining low and high rank hunts with G rank equipment and just deleting the monster before anyone can have any fun, but it's great when people aren't minmaxing the shit out of it. I missed the boat on World so I'm excited to play one of these games with an active multiplayer when Wilds comes out.

>>1599637
I played with /v/ a bit when 3U was new. I haven't played the older ones with randoms since because of that exact scenario you mentioned. That's what keeps me from playing a lot of older games, despite really wanting to. I wish I could get a friend or two interested in playing some games blind with me so I don't hold people back or get lead around through the motions by someone who's done it a million times already.

Anyway, I didn't realize just how much hammer lets you shit all over LR in this. I walked into this by accident but it's fun so I'm going to keep on it.

>>1599637
>I missed the boat on World so I'm excited to play one of these games with an active multiplayer
but world still has active mp, at least on pee cee

>>1599637
>You guys ever tried multiplayer on these older games?
I played a little bit of FU with a friend once but he was a speedhack abuser and kept causing disconnects so it didn't last long.

I'm a solo hunter anyway. I didn't have the option of multiplayer when I started out with MH so I ended up teaching myself to enjoy the game solo, and multiplayer rarely cuts it for me now. I tried some online in Tri, 4U, and World but they were overall terrible experiences. It was either elitist HAME fags not letting you join if you didn't do the same gay boring bowgun strat, or complete mouthbreathers of whom I don't understand how they're able to breathe with how low their brain function is.

I did do a playthrough of World with a friend fresh to MH and it was kinda fun, but the entire time I'm just a wojak in the corner who wants to go home to single player.

Monster Hunter seems so clunky. I've played World and Rise and I have no idea what I'm gathering, the tools I have etc. where do I even start? I'd like to pickup Wilds next month.

>>1600654
>Monster Hunter seems so clunky
That's part of the charm, and you get used to it pretty quickly
>I've played World and Rise and I have no idea what I'm gathering, the tools I have etc.
But the game explicitly tells you what you're gathering? If you don't know what you should be gathering, pick up things as you run past them so that they'll stop being ??? in your crafting menu. Generally speaking, you should collect herbs and honey when you're first starting out to make greater health potions
>where do I even start?
...With the first quests available to you? If you're looking for help and tips and whatever, I recommend three things:
>Use a controller
Self explanatory, the game works a lot better imo
>Pat & Woolie play Monster Hunter World

The bigger problem being these faggots hard carrying new players to the point they never learn anything

>>1610366
This has been a problem since the dawn of easy access online MH (Tri)

>>1610402
I hadn't played online until world, only then I understood the extent of the problem

tried playing DB against namielle
I'm probably shit but my god I got so tired of being shocked and drenched, it feels like such a bad matchup

I don't know if I can go back to SnS, it feels so bad against anything mobile. Anyone else have similar experiences with their mains?

>>1618821
SnS literally shits on hyper mobile monsters...

>>1619680
all its dmg is gated behind combo strings that require you to be practically stationary
>heavy neutral combo
>light -> redirect -> spin slash combo
>perfect rush
none of these are good for monsters that constantly reposition, and your only "poke" attack is the lunging uppercut attack you get as either a draw attack or a neutral light+heavy, and it doesn't do a whole lot of dmg

>>1620365
Oh you're talking about Wilds

Yeah it feels totally unusable there and I'm still figuring out what I'll be using. I settled with hammer in the demo cause it "feels" the best due to the lack of hitstop in the demo on every weapon. I think GS is the most appealing so far because it literally took over SnS's identity being a jack of all trades weapon lol

Wilds hammer is shit as well desu it's like I'm shoehorned into the same flowchart over and over like I'm playing SAED spam CB

Lance seems appealing because from what I've seen it's kinda just like World lance which is perfect

Gunlance might be a bit over the top but still has fun potential, kinda like World Longsword, but not something I can play 24/7 without getting bored

And then Longsword I'm not touching with a ten foot pool because I want to play Monster Hunter, not devil may cry

That's all my most used weapons and it looks fucking grim. My entire hope lies with the full game's hitstop and sound changes being good enough for the game to FEEL good again, but Capcom is clearly struggling trying to reproduce MT Framework's perfected recipe in their heavily inferior RE Engine

>>1620834
Addendum: going into World for the first time I felt the same way though, how they completely butchered SnS compared to previous games, but it ended up growing on me and being the coolest weapon ever (until they fucked it again in Iceborne with Perfect Rush hahaha)

So maybe it will grow on me once more in Wilds, however I will say I'm fucking TIRED of Capcom's new cancerous trend of completely revamping every goddamn weapon every single release. Between World, Iceborne, Rise, Sunbreak, and Wilds all weapons play completely differently. If it isn't because of raping the whole moveset for the lulz, it's because they introduce retarded mechanics to shoehorn all the weapon's strength behind, like Perfect Rush in Iceborne or slinger burst TCS spam.

Meanwhile virtually every game before GU has had all weapons be roughly the same with usually only minor differences. Even comparing 4U to MH1, weapons are largely the same. It's fucking annoying.

>>1620834
>Oh you're talking about Wilds
no I'm talking about world

The /vg/ general is fucking insufferable right now.

>>1620907
Okay then you're trolling git gud

>>1620943
i imagine it would be. what in particular is so bad rn?
>>1620963
could you actually offer a reason why you think i'm wrong, because everything I said is true. sns has no good chasedown, or "poke", to my knowledge besides the lunging uppercut, which as mentioned doesnt do a whole lot

>>1621063
>i imagine it would be. what in particular is so bad rn?
Nonstop zero effort Google questions from people who obviously only play MH as FOTM
>could you actually offer a reason why you think i'm wrong, because everything I said is true. sns has no good chasedown, or "poke", to my knowledge besides the lunging uppercut, which as mentioned doesnt do a whole lot
You sheath instantly, use that to chase monsters down faster, and use your nonexistent attack commitment and big back step iframes to constant be on the offense. That said I think evade window skills are a must have on SnS to make it perform optimally. Can you name a monster that's too mobile for you?

Man, Wilds HH feels like an identity crisis with the new stuff.
Putting down a tiny AOE bubble then trying to keep an active monster inside it for only tiny damage ticks doesn’t feel good, and the AOE downplays the mobility buff of the HH self-improvement song by trying to give you crappy benefits playing around said tiny zone.
It can’t even be used to set up max limit on downed monsters (3 at once), because after setting up one zone the monster is recovered from knockdown.
Maybe it gets better with stronger horns, but I ended up ignoring all the new wilds changes and played wilds HH like 4u’s HH instead.

>>1621091
>You sheath instantly, use that to chase monsters down faster
chasing down the monster isn't a problem, it's having a low commitment attack with frontloaded dmg. for example, switch has the upswing -> reverse fade slash for dealing with monsters like tigrex that run around all the time. you do that enough times on its arms and then you can wail on it in sword mode while it's flopped down.
>use your nonexistent attack commitment
your noncommittal attacks with sns dont do much dmg, which is the issue im having with it
>big back step iframes to constant be on the offense
your big backstep takes you away from the monster, and then the monster's moved an inch out of the way when you jump back in since sns has no range and no good gap closer like something like DBs or CB does
>Can you name a monster that's too mobile for you?
stuff like alatreon, deviljho, garuga, safi, kulve
>inb4 >safi, kulve
yeah they're huge, but they also move the parts you actually want to hit a lot and they themselves often reposition across a quarter of the zone at a time. youre stuck trying to chain spin slashes together because if you try to do any combo that lasts longer than a 2 second window, you either miss by a few inches as the monster moves out of the way or you get slapped with a huge sweep attack because you traded positioning for a long setup

>>1621443
Alatreon, garuga, safi, kulve are all fine for SnS. Alatreon is amazing even. Savage jho is a piece of shit you need to chain topple/stagger and that's just a gear check

If you can upload some of your gameplay I can maybe see what you're doing suboptimally, or I can upload my gameplay of some of those monsters

>>1622015
>Alatreon ... [is] fine for SnS
Yeah, especially when it's flying.

>>1622015
youre not engaging with the conversation and just saying "no" to every objective fact without acknowledging the limitations of the weapon. would love to see you playing sns against safi with 3 randos while actually pulling your weight and breaking parts. no, you cant use fatty gear

>>1523160 (OP)
Can someone explain how Safi'Jiva part damage works between runs in the same lobby, because I don't understand it at all. I'm using pic related and I'm usually focusing on one part per run (usually the rear left leg), and it barely breaks before Safi switches to area 3. I spend the rest of the time focused on the rear right leg, but it obviously doesn't break before Safi leaves (or dies, depending on the siege progress). I then focus on that new leg during the next run since I've already earned the reward credit for the other, but it still breaks around the same exact time before area 3, so it would seem part dmg doesn't carry over between runs of the same siege.

However, I've previously done multiple[!] runs where people have managed to somehow cut the tail off in the first 5 minutes in area 1. When I asked how, since it was only 1-2 guys chopping away at it intermittently, they replied that since they cut it off in a previous run, it had less health this time. I went and tested this on my own, where instead of focusing on the rear right leg after breaking the left one, I'd stick to attacking the left between runs. I got the same outcome as if I had swapped to a new unbroken leg; it broke around the same time during the transition between area 2 and area 3, so it seems this reinforced what I knew about part dmg not carrying over.


Was one of those guys just a cheater in those lobbies, using a weapon with modded stats? How else would they be able to chop the tail off so quickly? It has something ridiculous like ~20,000 health in 4p multiplayer.

Don't think part damage carries over. A lot of people run partbreaker 3 for Safi, so maybe that's how they are getting the cut so fast? But yea cheating is def a possibility too

>>1625434

>>1627340
I mean I've been running PB3 too but even if I was spamming switch axe element discharges on the tail the whole time, I couldn't cut if off that fast

>>1627640

You can't flash him out of the air when he's enraged

>>1628569
I know, I read
He doesn't give a shit even when the eye-con's yellow and agitator isn't active

>>1629144
Sometimes he doesn't get flashed because the angle was one pixel off his field of view. I usually throw a flashpod to the ground while he's looking in my direction and not too far away, that works most of the time

There's no way this dude broke 9 fuckin' parts off of safi'jiva with this shit build without cheating, right? He's got practically no offensive skills, and partbreaker isn't even at lvl3. He's also got a bunch of random skills slotted in that make no sense, and I'm pretty sure he has either high recoil and/or slow reload on his gun no matter what he was shooting safi with.

>>1629199
Probably cheating. Had a similar case with a dude using gunlance. While it's really easy to break parts with gunlance (can easily break 2/3 legs in 1st phase while jacking off), this dude broke everything far too easily and also cut the tail lightning fast despite gunlance not being suited for fast tail cutting. Cheaters happen. If you post a private room I'll join for some safi

>>1629219
long, normal, or wide gunlance?

>>1629310
Normal, but even then it doesn't explain the early tail cut, nobody else was hitting it

Anyone playing MHGU? I'm about near the end of High rank for Hub and Village and was figuring I'd probably shell out 20 bucks for online once I hit G-rank.

>>1629830
Just emulate it on the PC with me instead from scratch
It runs like a dream and we don't even need to pay for online

I always wished they let us filter players by HR. I think Tri let you do that iirc but not since.

I'm playing on Pretendo with 4U and it's mostly either newbies or HR999s who couldn't move on. I don't blame them but I wish there were a way to do the aforementioned.

>burn 10 farcasters so safi will drop aggro

I converted my endgame XX save and am playing on Ryujinx, does that count?

>Zinogre

>>1633580
>mh3u
>solo with barioth bow
its not that bad, cha cha and kayamba were beyond fucking useless however

>>1623094

>>1633617
I would use bow if it were capable of tailcuts in a timely manner (there's no way in hell I'm tailcutting with dragonpiercer or the arrow stab-hop) since this jewish dog won't drop skymeralds, and I'd use bowgun if not for the fact slicing ammo is cucked to beyond uselessness if I don't also have partbreaker 3

>>1632349
Don't bother attacking anything but the head when you have aggro. He will spam attacks that will pin you down if you try to attack the legs, and he'll heal the wound immediately. I believe the one who does most damage gets aggro. You can wait for someone else to get aggro if you don't want to bother with it

>>1634293
>Don't bother attacking anything but the head when you have aggro
Then he just spams the giant lunge that knocks you onto your back if I try to attack his head
>I believe the one who does most damage gets aggro
I doubt it, I was clipping his toenails with a shotgun for like 18-27 dmg a pellet
>You can wait for someone else to get aggro if you don't want to bother with it
I tried this, and all that happened was that I was forced to run around with my weapon put away, or else it'd do some giant undodgable attack I'd be too slow to get out of the way of with my shitty 3 second long fatroll

>>1636754
He spams the lunge attack or the big annoying explosion when you're under him, being below his jaw counts as being under. If you stay a few meters in front of him he won't do those attacks as much
>I doubt it
You'd be surprised when hunting with randoms
Try out LBG, I find it easier to handle aggro with it. A set with safi aquashot for stickies make breaking the head a breeze too, as well as the wings and back if necessary. Gunlance is also nice to tank with, but you can't attack as much. Alternatively join the /mhg/ rooms and ask anons to help with safi

>>1636826
I have sets for just about every weapon, it's just that when helping out randos I basically have to farcaster away and come back every time I randomly aggro if I'm using a slower weapon, otherwise I'm glorified bait
Also, idk where to stand to get the optimal dmg on safi's wings when using aquashot with water ammo (it's more dmg on avg. than stickies). The bones of the wings take much more dmg than the webbing, but the dragon moves so weirdly that shooting at the bones when it's standing still from the side will either have the shots fly way past or hit the webbing, and standing in front of it is a crapshoot

>>1641764
Nope, and it's the designated hardest co-op fight in the game + can truecombo not!oneshot you through max ice res. Ancient Leshen takes the cake solo because the bastard has far more oneshots which are far harder to evade, the "small monster packs" mechanic can quickly overwhelm you with annoyingly tanky Jagras and IIRC actually has more health than everything except Safi and Kulve. But while Leshen can be played around since it doesn't scale with multiplayer (like the good old days with the Town quests scaled for multiplayer), and can even be ledgescummed in one of it's warp positions in the central area, ATVelk is just a consistent threat no matter what way you try to get around it.
Best bet I've found is grinding out a high-end Fire element Safi weapon, and bring boosters (Health, Affinity too if you're going full risk) rather than blankies if you're confident enough with Velkhana's moveset that it's the randoms that you're more worried about. Partbreaker sounds like it would help, but ATVelk can re-apply the ice so often that it evens out to being not-bad-but-not-a-mandatory-hardcounter. Also, make sure you bring full ice res, because even if Velkhana can still oneshot you, it gives you more breathing room on the chip damage regardless. On one hand randos do make the fight easier due to aggro + slightly lower health scaling, on the other it only takes one retard to triplecart.

Also if you're pre-Ala, you have yet to learn the true propane of randoms carting to their own stupidity.

>>1642067
>you have yet to learn the true propane of randoms carting to their own stupidity.
Oh no I've been part of that already, watching as people bring non-elemental safi weps or raging brachy weapons and then we never reach the elemental dps check

I started with 4U loved it though stopped by the 80 hour mark, world I'm near 1k hours and rise I cleaned out in 150. So 4U gives me nostalgia chills and still has that scrappy jank that makes MH endearing, but world was a lot more satisfying to actively play, plus the amount of collectables, the customization etc by the end of iceborne is real nice. Having the little glowy fatalis charm makes me feel like a real big boy, even if I got carried by kind strangers the first two kills. Rise felt like a lackluster experience, all the jank and bad hitboxes of older games with none of the sovl. Good pirate outfit at least.
I should go back to clear 4U properly but without online community the game is both harder, which I could maybe cope with, and more depressing which I can't. Hunts were meant for teams of 4, hunting alone I just don't stay engaged as long. Only reason I have so much time in world is ferrying several friends through it, and generally helping randos with fights that I remember being headaches.
TL;DR
World, but 4U has sovl

I am not enjoying mh anymore, this late game bullshit is too high speed for me

Trying to play World on a new character is absolute dogshit due to how they did the content feed drip.

>>1646395
could you be more specific

>>1646409
I played on release on console, and the content drip feed made sense. You could just get something new to do.

I made it all the way through to Fatalis without getting the Deviljho introduction on PC.

>>1646416
so because you didn't have the quest shoved in your face, and you beelined to fatalis, that's a problem with the game?

>>1646634
previous generations were much better thought out with their progression
so yes, retard

>>1646638
well jho weapons are universally shit, and it's a shitmon, so I think it being a completely optional piece of content is perfectly fine

>>1530689

I've been working on gathering up all the links that have been relevant to the series over the years (motivated by how much of an unorganised shitstate it honestly is, and how many are dead due to link decay) into one clean rentry doc, while adding a few things more here and there; picrel should work as a "hunting menu" of sorts, even if it's incomplete for Wilds (I've trimmed out Wilds spoilers for politeness / because it's based off of leaks that I'm not sure are legit). Still rough around the edges, it'll be better once it's done.

>>1523160 (OP)
Is this game just a copy of Monster Hunter World?
That game wasn't as hard as the old ones.... should I play this one?

>>1657681
Having a blast

>>1657696
It's LR/HR only right now, and no DLC monsters, so yeah it's easy as shit if you know what you're doing. If you want any shred of challenge you gotta ignore SOS / followers, and bench the cat since it's massively roided up from World. I'm not even using chest armor as a self-imposed challenge and I've only been carted once by the third area, in part because I just got plain cocky. Hopefully HR is scaled well enough for multiplayer, I'd hate for endgame to be a cakewalk if I plan on playing here.
That said, performance is unforgivable; I'm on a slightly upper midrange and by default it runs fine on near-max settings (it's honestly a beautiful game), but when it hits the 1% stutters like loading into a 50man hub in another region after an intensive cutscene, it just chokes to shit and potato's out until it catches up. Fake frames don't save it either, don't know what it is, but they blur / ghost over no movement at times, and it looks like characters have some ghost / soul trying to leave their face (among other things) (which is fair, because fake frames is supposed to get 60fps to 120fps, not "fix" stuttering below 60fps). Pretty sure there's a very small memory leak too, it's fine at the start of a session, but after 10 hours of play it started to get more common until a reset fixed it completely.

Basically, it desperately needs it's first major bugfix and fast - I wouldn't recommend it until then, and on anything other than a system that can run it. Mods might fix it down the road (like the World mod that took 48fps to 150fps in a single line of dogshit code) but it's early days yet.

Oh yeah, and Gemma is confirmed to be Little Miss Forge all grown up early on in-game.

>>1658057
I would like to preface that I am not a homosexual

I think they wildly no pun intended over-corrected and made Gemma too traditionally attractive in response to the backlash of The Handler in World being buttfuck-ugly. She looks more like a bimbo-fied porn asset than a character that would fit into the world of monster hunter, imo. I'm all for characters being attractive, but it feels like they overdid it. Just me?

>>1658162
The design is nothing to me and it's got nods to her old design, it's the fucking voice man (matched with the fact I can't swap it to Wyverian) (which is gone, aside from the fact everyone speaks Wyverian outside of direct conversation). They completely borked her casting, she sounds alright on her own, but not like Little Miss Forge grown up. And the kicker is, the heavily middle class American accent VA for a girl raised by dwarves, I can live with, she's alright enough, but it's then in combination with the lines they gave her.

>YOU'RE THE LOCAL BLACKSMITH?! NO WAY! WOW I'M GONNA TALK WITH YOU LATER!!
Like yeah, no shit, we didn't need the interruption. That, and there was a bit where they tour through the Scarlet Forest, and she jumps in at chuckling with the brown kid that the hunter is a workaholic (ask how the parrots can help on a hunt), when her entire upbringing is around dwarves that are so obsessed with work that they're unable to sleep mid-project and get depressed when they can't work. It's just out of character, for a character that didn't really have much you had to keep it to.
Good lines with a sub-par VA, sub-par lines with a good VA - I can live with. But not both. The miscast VA just cannot carry the script they gave her. Alma is alright too and has a decent script to work with (and thank fuck, since she's the major speaking role), but the only outright good VA+lines combination I've heard was the Wastelands Elder and the Fabius / the Guild Commander.

>Little Miss Forge
As the other Anon said. Think she shows up in GU too.
>challenge
Difficulty is whatever Capcom wants it to be, contrary to popular belief, World / Rise weren't the easiest games in the series, before Wilds, P3rd was by a longshot if you exclude the final boss (and that was the best selling oldgen game of all of them). World has a decently easy basegame, but then had the title updates with Ancient Leshen, Extremoth and Gen 5 Alatreon as some of the harder intended single-monster fights in the series, even before the optional Arch Tempered's or modded quests.
Until then, self-imposed seems the best way to go.

No I don't. Why would you imply that?

>>1523160 (OP)
How is the new monster hunter? My friends say it's not worth buying if I have world because it's too much for what you get

>>1660394
Nearing the end of LR and yeah, it feels like a game-long DLC for World with more detailed environments. Monsters are great, music is great, maps are great, gameplay is about the same, "story / characters" are unbearable dogshit and so much worse than World because some fuckhead at Crapcom wanted to double down on narrative bullshit instead of ease off, and they evidently hired some triple fuckhead diversity consultant to fuck everything up real good for good measure (I kid you not, there's a part where some tribal locals ask some dood to fix their shit, he does, it goes horribly, then when you next speak to him you're forced to not only reprimand him because there's no way brown people could be wrong, but he shrugs and says "I habe le autism lole whoopsie plz understand"). It's sigh inducing at best.
At this point, I'm just waiting for the story bullshit to end so I can get into HR and hunt in peace.

I usually go by $1/hour as value, and so far it's done that in terms of content. If you're a hardcore, then get it so you can ride the wave, if you're more the kind of person who hunts a monster once then never wants to see it again and don't care about postgame, I'd pirate offline then wait for a sale to buy it legit for the online content once there's something to do.

>>1660035
either focus on dodging until you're familiar with his moveset or watch gameplay of people fighting him to learn his openings
>>1660394
It's base game world with no updates for $70
Wait for a sale, and for them to either fix the god awful performance, or for someone to come out with a reputable performance fix mod

Just finished the "main" game (LR) in Wilds, so I'm fine with multiplayer, if anyone wants to clean up some Optionals or generally mess around.
I'll be on for the next few hours (5-6 hours?), and from tomorrow on out I'll be on earlier since I got nothing on right now. I don't know if private lobbies are persistent, but I'll post a new lobby whenever I'm on if anyone wants to hop on with.

Yeah, I have issues with "the community", so I'm just chilling here. I wouldn't want to get in the way of your experience with my endgame gear, but if you need help with anything just give me a ping and I'll put on some lower ranked stuff and hop over. Based my guy on an anime character, but it's only surface level because I thought it'd be cool idea with the equipment from the Beta, if you can live with that.
You prefer text or mic?

>>1663376
I'm looking to vc on discord or steam. I don't know how thr ingame stuff works and I need to progress this godawful story a bit more before I can really do multiplayer.

>>1663421
No problem, whenever
>discord / steam
I'm not really familiar with either, I just stick with in-game comms if possible for most games but I'll plug my mic in if I see you. Might be afk from time to time, since I'm not treating the game as my job, but see you then.

Gentlemen, I'm afraid to say that longsword in frontier is fun

in world it was a deco grind
it rise it was a charm grind
what grind is it in wilds?

>>1667351
deco again

>>1667351
Right now it's Artian crap, decos seem mostly on the backburn.

>>1667351
Decos are way less of a problem, because you can't pack your entire set with WEx, a lot of skills have been boiled down to require less points to max out, and previous scum skills like Agitator don't have reliable ways to force it to turn on, so you can only work with what you're allowed to slot in.
No doubt G-Rank will probably introduce Weapon Deocs for Armor and vice versa, but right now droprates for previously "rare" decos are somewhat forgiving and you only need one good Lv3 to slot into your weapon, rather than 15 for an entire Fatalis set of slots.
As Anon said, it's Artian, since you're literally gambling to get a good weapon, and you need to highroll 5 times in a row (but even they aren't best-in-class for a few things).

I hope they add content soon I want to play the game but the autismal weapons are ugly dogshit

>>1668677
don't use them and 100% everything else

>>1668688
okay yeah I'll do that actually, thanks anon

Monster Hunter Wilds is.........FUN!

>>1671499
It's "a blast." Get it right.

>>1671499
I do not like all the brown people
I did not sign up to hunt monstars in hindustan saar

Tempted to get a 9070 xt for 10% over the AIB MSRP, or 23% over the base MSRP. Seems like it actually works better in Wilds than the 5070ti.

>>1671910
personally I usually go for the previous gen shit over the brand new stuff, because games releasing right now were probably optimized for those last gen cards, plus there's already tons of documentation for troubleshooting last gen parts. I don't need everything to be on ultra when high is basically indistinguishable, and there are half a dozen resource hog settings I'd disable anyway because they smear the screen with vaseline

So is wilds a proper soulful successor to world and previous main titles or is Crapcom starting to ruin yet another braindead simple series

>>1672090
It has been ruining it for a while. Yes, it continues to do so. Now it is a Sony walking cinematic experience, except most of the Sony games actually run well.

>>1672090
the games have only gotten more and more casualized, do you honestly believe the devs would turn down free money by excluding slopmongers and retvrning to what made MH interesting in the 1st place?

>>1672090
This is the audience Capcom is targeting with Wilds.

>>1672530
Shitters will always exist and modders will always exist to enable them

>>1672534
>>1672530
Even dark souls has health bars so it isn't that bad

>>1672536
everything has health bars you muppet
the monsters not having health bars is part of what makes MH unique
you as a hunter eventually intuit how low a monster is from how long you've spent fighting it, or you can observe its behavior, or if you research it enough you even get a skull icon when it's near death

I'm playing frontier because capcom cucked me out of wilds by not supporting my 2019 version of windows. I'm not very far, only HR2. Was planning to craft my trusty rath armor but found out later that it's given for free (rain server) which is why everybody is using it. Crafted abiorugu set instead. I usually hate brutes but this monster is very cool. Killed my first rukodiora yesterday, cool monster as well, the magnet element is nice. Also how do I manage my partnya ? Rather, where do I get the items to change its behavior and train ?

>>1648598
What's FR?

>>1673391
What's the best way to play it?

>>1674771
/vg/ has (or had?) a server up and running
https://pastebin.com/ZJaqPmQa https://pastebin.com/QqAwZSTC
The game is tough as nails because it's an old MMO, I'd wait for Wilds hype to die down a bit, then let the Bizaare MMOventure gang get around to it (I'd take them over the current state of /vg/ trannies); since it's designed with a chunk of people playing it in mind and incorporates common MMO mechanics into it's design like zoning, damage checks and aggro management, on top of it being oldgen rather than nugen.
If not, you're going to be soloing content that was so bullshit difficult that in many cases it took East Asians months to clear solo (in the case of Burning Freezing Elzelion it took 9 months for some dude to clear it solo legit) (and that's not even the hardest one in there).

>>1674771
I've been playing blind on rain server, I fully expect to hit a wall that'll make me stop playing at some point. There's so many systems and not everything is explained in game because not everything is translated, and trying to find what a specific thing does over the rain discord server is fucking cancerous

How do I fight Fatalis in FU? Just keep hitting his legs? Is there a difference between normal/crimson/white? What about the ballista and cannon?

>>1696890
yeah kinda
at least his hp is relatively low to compensate

So is wilds an incredible accomplishment for the future of the whole series or is it worse than rise

>>1697213
Thank fuck I can just trade points for mats in frontier so I don't have to fight this nigger ever again

>>1697224
too early to tell, it's not finished yet
personally i'm not interested in it since it seems even more casual-focused than world
>>1697591
he's good in frontier tho

>>1697684
He's still a piece of shit for me to fight. I've been playing since freedom and always disliked brutes ever since their first appearance. The only one I like is abiorugu. The rest can burn, fuck brutes

Jesus, frontier exotic narga does not fuck around. Not even talking about the super special oc donut steel, but the regular HR5 one. Doesn't have a lot of health to make up for it and he's fun once you know which moves to avoid. Unlike niggerdios

>>1697224
"Accomplishment", not really, it's just World 2 honestly. I'm glad for them that they could get systems they struggled with in previous titles like terrain deformation and seamless hubs, but the final product is very "just another entry", and the horrid story doesn't do them any favors. Granted, I like the series already, so as long as they jack up the difficulty of the AT's for something to chew into on a weekend, I'll be a happy customer, but it's not revolutionary in the slightest and would have needed underwater returning minimum to trump World's leap forward.

Personally, I feel it's worse than every other weapon in the game, as for other people, our japanese brothers in 2ch make hammer threads like once per day to cry about the state of the weapon and how it hasn't evolved to keep up with the newer generations, whatever that may mean.

Gonna be posting some lobbies once the patch is live like last time, if anyone wants to hop on with.

>>1703145
As the other Anon said, the /vg/ gen has it's purpose for newer players & the terminally online, but most people here are either series / genre veterans or have played / are playing other games, so the appreciable bumprate is nicer. In any case, it's an unspoken rule that the /v/alkans is where you'll get the reliably best discussion if you're patient.

>>1704694
>tfw beat the game solo with HH & self-imposed challenges and still felt OP
Honestly surprised everyone isn't being toned down to Hammer if that's the case.

>>1704716
I beat it solo with picrel self-imposed challenges, the game difficulty felt quite good that way, and I'm not good enough to say I breezed thru it, actually carted to some monsters like Jin Dahad and Gore Magala. Still think the hammer could get some love and also for the love of God nerf everything else so I can see the shitters get filtered, it's not enough that I succeed, others should fail

There's a lot of private servers and you can make your own as well. If you can handle some discordfaggotry, pick rain server. Finding information on it is a bit of a pain in the dick, but once you made your account you don't really need to interact with the discord server anymore, questions and bot spam channels are the only one you'll ever need

Do the SoS NPC's count towards the multiplayer achievement or will I have to put up with randoms for 100 quests?

Ice teostra is a pretty fun fight, unlike water gravios that fucking faggot

I'd assume not, but you can get it easy as shit anyways doing SOS flares yourself.

>>1723994
Not dead, just a slow general, plus everyone still has to filter back in, plus we're between content updates.

So yeah dead game.

was world this dead between updates?

So how's AT rey dau

why sns is left handed ? and whats the best between sns and longsword ? (i come from GS)

>>1729932
every weapon is 'left handed'
iirc, the funny idea was that the monsters are so strong that the hunter needs to block with their strong arm

longsword has always been good, even braindead, with sns generally being regarded as weak

LS is honestly GS but faster and with meter combos

>>1730095
ok it make sense for the big monsters but not for the small one

Yeah the LS seems to be what i need, thanks for the help

is there no way to make a singleplayer lobby? I thought you had to opt-in to multiplayer with an SOS flare

>>1703620
Frenzied sex, even.

I'm still playing sunbreak even though I already 100%'d it...

>>1595688
My favorite MH game, probably. All the lovable jank from early gen with upgraded movesets and lots and lots of monsters both old and new-- and fucking awesome ones. I get it's not for everyone, though. The monsters and hunters get more like Goku the further you go into the game. It does also progressively become more like a dark souls roll-through-attack simulator, so if you completely hate that it might not be your game.
I personally thought I hated that playstyle but I really don't mind doing that in Frontier for some reason. Maybe it's because the game is still so familiar to me, unlike the newer entries, where it'd just make me feel even more like it's not MH anymore. Extreme styles are very over the top but they feel extremely good to use. You can also just not use them if you don't like them. While barely anyone doesn't, there's people that clear the hardest hunts with Earth (default) style.
Set building is extremely difficult in general. There are thousands of armor options and finding out where you get the specific gems that you want is really, really hard with all the MMO bloat.
The other anon also said that he stopped liking the game on G rank but for me that's honestly pretty crazy because that's when the game opens up way more with things you can progress and you can fight monsters at their very strongest. While some monsters don't get crazy moveset upgrades (especially oldgens), a lot of them become *way* harder fights, especially with HC mode on. There's also quite a few G-rank exclusive fights too. It's true that it does get way grindier on G rank though because cost for parts goes way up.

>>1572710
Isn't Pretendo something you have to pay for?

>>1757242
It's free now since it exited beta

>>1756317
I really like frontier but I also hate that past a certain point everything is either a one shot or multi hits that may as well be one shots. Z4 gasura is driving me up the fucking wall even with two legendary rastas and a fucking halk pot. Last time I played I broke his arms, got him near death but carted for the 3rd time after waking him up. I alt f4'd. I really like the gameplay, extreme switch axe is really fun despite the fact that I hate counters in mainline. Dual blades too feel great to play. But everything turning into play perfect or die in endgame kills the fun for me

>>1757621
I agree with you on the gameplay bits. Maybe it's not just because of the familiarity I mentioned but also maybe it's also because the monsters are unhinged so it's only fair you become godly too.
But yeah, sounds like all that's left is recruiting three other players to beat gasura lol. The game was meant to be co-op'd even more than mainline after all which is why everything gets crazy bullshit (not that you wouldn't know this when you're already this far in) so if you actually made it that far on mostly your own power you're honestly pretty good.

>>1758292
There's nothing more I'd like than a regular group of people to play with. A couple road floors with people was fun. I can always ask for help on rain discord server but I don't want to play with different people every time I ask. For now I'll keep bashing my head against Z4 gasura like a retard, it ought to work out at some point, surely. Also I wish zenith monsters got their own theme each, the zenith musics kind of suck ass compared to the rest of the ost

>>1700184
I got stuck on him and tigrex for days ... in fucking Iceborne (it was my first game) , but I would still say tigrex was harder than Brachy , just because of that goddamn charge he does .

>>1797506
It had an all time peak of 1.3m players! On release, and is now trailing world LMAO!

>>1797506
It's not complete irredeemable dogshit just yet but it's honestly not that far off. Lots of wrong decisions were made during dev time. I don't feel like writing a bloc of text about the game but I'll tell you that: it was made for the masses, not for the diehard fans. My friends who usually put hundred upon hundred of hours in the games stopped around 70 hours of playtime, might as well be nothing for mh. You can find a couple geniune non shitposting opinions from anons amidst the baits on /v/

>>1797506
The real issue with the game itself is that it's overly streamlined and casualized. Some might like it. Some don't. Some don't care and just go with whatever's new.
People who were thirsty for challenge decided to mod in challenging event quests that got taken away by Capcom. Those same people who modded those quests in later got banned. The game runs like ass for a lot of people too. All those things combined resulted in a 90%+ playerbase drop in less than a semester and a colossal reviewbomb on the steam page.

I think the game's already beyond repair since focus mode is already in. The casualizations didn't come from monsters being too weak. It came from hunters being absurdly OP and Capcom is not known for dropping a nerf nuke on hunters. Best thing they can add for challenges in order for monsters to be able to keep up with hunter powercreep is to add some absurd wombo combo explosions super saiyan monster with gorillion HP and oneshots. By the time that happens, one wouldn't have been able to recognize the game as Monster Hunter if "Monster Hunter" wasn't in the title. I have little hopes for the G-rank/Master Rank expansion to save this game.

>>1800858
Even monsters teleporting around like Malzeno wouldn't be enough to offset focus mode.

I'd simply like for them (the devs) to slow the gamepseed down instead of getting faster and faster in every sequel. Faster hunters = even faster monsters, which eventually makes it impossible to react to what a monster's doing unless you have every single move pre-memorized, which then justifies giving the hunters stuff like focus mode to keep up, which ruins the identity of MH.
>if you like slower games just play previous MHs
I would if they ported the damn things, but they're all stuck behind emulators that are 2x as resource intensive as the latest game in the series.

>>1810517
The masses don't like slow combat and preparation, nor do they like the farm

>>1811469
the masses loved world and disliked rise though

>>1623094
Slut

>>1623094
yes

Every time I boot up GU and play with valor GS, every other GS feels like a downgrade. Aerial styles are also a ton of fun, especially aerial hammer.

I can cut World a bit of slack because it delivered on other aspects and did some new things but Rice was a disappointment and Wilds leaves me entirely flaccid.

Honestly, all these years later i still dont see a major problem with tenderizing in world.
I didn't even know it was a mechanic until like the shara ishivalda fight and the hunts were still going very well solo, but whenever someone brings it up its always constant seethe about its existence. What gives?

>>1831154
When I replayed I didn't use it except with weapons that have a CC move baked into the moveset. Hunts would take between 10 and 20 minutes and I would often forget about the existence of the CC. What I disliked about it is its implementation. Tenderizing doesn't sound bad on paper, but it becomes a chore in gameplay
>trying to wound monsters is extremely frustrating because you get thrown off more often than not
>glorious solution devs created is clagger
Clagger is annoying as fuck and makes you miss moves all the time. Game became far more enjoyable when I modded it out. Also it wasn't until a long while after launch that they made band aid solutions for all the CC complaining. Before, wounds would last very little time. They doubled that time in the same update they added the CC jewel. And on some weapons it's still just shit, thinking of the insect glaive. The move lasts forever and since it's a light weapon you'll need to do it twice to soften a part. The jewel made it a little better. Also they changed weakness exploit to have more crit % on wounded parts, lots of people complained about that. And lastly, to promote the use of the CC, they turned a lot of monsters into walking shitzones in MR. That's about all I can think of for now

>>1831150
I like aerial CB since aerial AED has a beefy 90 MV.

>>1831154
it's busywork you have to do so that your weapon doesn't ping off of a part it otherwise shouldn't ping off of, lose sharpness despite building specifically for master's touch (or whatever it's called where if you hit a crit spot, it's not supposed to lose sharpness) because the devs retroactively made hitzones literally 1 number below the necessary value to proc weakness exploit, and finally because in order to actually weaken you have to bait out one specific move, abuse baby blankets, waste a trap, or wait for one of those annoying claggers that can overwrite a topple or KO

Good evening, MHbros.
I'm one of the faggots that take care of /vm/'s divegrass/football/soccer team. The team's reforming its player roster for the upcoming summer season so I wanted to ask if they thread would want to be represented.
If so, lemme know which thread character/meme would present this place the most and we'll throw that suggestion into a poll so everyone can vote for it and a couple other options from the board.
If you got any questions, feel free to ask me.

A plesioth sounds good, widely known meme

>>1831511
How obnoxious it is also depends on context quite a bit. If you have four people all tendiespamming a big mon then it's mildly obnoxious but if you're solo hunting a challenging monster with a light weapon and you're forced to tenderize because the part that's the easiest for you to hit is also an arbitrary shitzone then it's SHIT.
