Which one will you be picking up for Monster Hunter Wilds?
The only one that matters, obviously.
>>686521287What the fuck is a gunsword? And where are the tonfas CAPCOM?? I want to larp as Lloydo.
i played the hunting horn solo in monster hunter 4 and only played greatsword in world idk what the gun sword is but it looks cool
>>686521287I don't play crapcom slop
>>686521654Roll on back to your fromslop
>>686521287All of them except for switch axe because of counter
>>686521287Might try gunlance, looks like it got some nice changes.>perfect block cancel>shells scale with raw>shells don't consume sharpness>swinging full bursts>shell-stepping
>>686521287>GunSword only 3.2%Bros... it's not looking good...
>>686521287i only play GunSword
>>686521287Gunlance, obvThey finally fixed the weapon
>>686521287Depends on what they've changed on each of the weapons. Bow, LBG, and HBG are all my primaries, but I also like using GS, SA, IG and DB. I suppose what'll also factor in is how often enemies fly too, cause god I hate waiting for them to get back down to hit them.
>>686521287Gonna be doot'n it up, yet again. maybe a side greatsword for tails.
>playing anything other than GS, LS, Lance, Hammermental illness.
>>686521287If Greatsword still has Surge Slash moveset I'll play that, otherwise I'll just go back to the Insect Glaive. The most based and comfiest weapon type now that HH feels and looks weird to me.
These are the based weapons.If you don't use one of these weapons, you're not based
>>686522001>sneaking hammer in thereNice try, buddy.
>>686521287Why the Longsword of course.
>>686522058>IGOh no no no nobody tell him!
>>686522140How else could you conceivably kill a dinosaur other than hitting it on the head with a 300 pound hammer?
>>686521287SnS and Hammer, of course.
>>686522228hit it in the head with a 300 pound sword
>>686521287Is it true that Lance users are extremely high test?
>>686522247I hope the SnS' minibonk power returns.
>>686522305Lance users have autism and like repeatedly doing the same thing over and over>poke poke poke hop>poke poke poke hop>poke poke poke hop>poke poke poke hop
>>686521287>hammer has about the same usage rate as HHBullshit
>>686522150based based BASED
>>686522414It's because hammers are dogshit compared to greatsword in Rise
Everyone has their own preference for what the best weapon is, but can we all agree as common ground that the most cringe weapon is Light Bowgun?
>>686521287I don't play monster hunter, but the charge blade looks like my kind of weapon
>>686522160NTA I heard they changed some things for IG, is it true they got rid off the helicopter moves?if true I might pick it up, fuck everyone who was flying around like a retard using the glaive
>>686521287Hammer, hunting horn, charge blade, gunlance, sword and shield, switch axe, lance. I previously played bow as well, but I don't think I'm gonna use it in Wilds based on what I've seen of it so far.
Results of a /vg/ poll>>686522507Yes
>>686522160IG is the only weapon that has objectively gotten better in every conceivable over time, what do you mean?
>>686521931>They finally fixed the weaponI haven't looked at GL since they added things beyond basic shelling, poking and wyvernfire, but it used to be that the gun attacks all did fixed damage, so the damn thing fell off in high end content. Did they change GL's damage formula?
>>686521287Lance and Switch Axe mainly. Might mess around with LS and Hammer a bit too.
>>686522634I'd say SA has consistently improved.
>>686522572Why so much Switch Axe love?
>>686521287Probably switch axe/hunty horn but I always make a set of blast element DBs for bullying purposes.
>>686521287I am but a man, and a man must toot.
>>686522512charge blade is extremely convoluted and autistic to use compared to every other weapon>use certain attacks to charge a meter>once the meter is full, spend the meter to charge a different 2nd kind of meter>spend second meter on a buff>charge the meter again>fill the 2nd meter again>now you can spend your 2nd meter on a big attack>all the while making sure your buff doesn't fall off>also a bunch of different attacks have a fraction of a second where if you get hit instead of taking damage you can do a super attack except it's extremely not obvious which ones have this or what frames its active so you just need to memorize them all
>>686522785It's fun and stylish. Lots of opportunities to take big risks for flashy plays.
>>686521287Hammer, Hunting Horn, Great SwordI am ungaHorn for multiplayer. Swapping between Hammer and Great Sword for single player cuts and bashes.HBG for mindless post game farming
>>686522785You can unga bunga with it AND you make make big explosions and flashy moves with it. The best of both worlds from both the slow weapons and the anime weapons
>>686522843>it's extremely not obvious which ones have this or what frames its activeIt's literally just when the shield is held in front of you, it doesn't get more intuitive than that.
>>686521287Gunlance since apparently shells scale with raw now
>>686522843>>also a bunch of different attacks have a fraction of a second where if you get hit instead of taking damage you can do a super attack except it's extremely not obvious which ones have this or what frames its active so you just need to memorize them allall you really need to know is the morph slash one
>>686522512Don't listen to that other guy. He's saying in a convoluted way that 90% of CB's learning curve is learning what charging your shit does for you andwhat the inputs for charging your shit are.The last 10% is nuanced shit like learning you can Normal AED even though your shield is charged and guard point timing.
>>686521287TF is "insect Glaive"
>>686522731It might have gotten better or stronger, but IG is the only that's objective and substantive imo. Insect Glaive is entirely different from it's original 4U counterpart, but still retains the core gameplay. Kinda like the opposite of LS where it's all but abandoned the original LS, but the new version is still technically much better.
>>686522785It's a nice simple loop of building up to brain off unga bunga caveman mode. Plus the various status vials can be super handy.
>>686521287I need a high res Gun Sword weapon icon
>>686521287Nothing I don't play woke slop
>>686522981It's only obvious which ones have guard frames if you already know ahead of time which ones have guard frames and then work backwards to rationalize what you already know.There are some movements where your shield is in front of your body for some number of frames that doesn't give you guard frames, it's pretty much just arbitrary which ones they decided to give the guard frames to and it ultimately just comes down to memorization. >>686523014That one at least is very obvious even to a new player and probably the one I use the most
>>686522572I swear, gunlance fags are the most obnoxious vocal minority. Watch the game come out and GL still be one of the least used weapons.
>>686521287Hammer and Long Sword
>>686522843This is the IQ of the average hunter nowadays. Someone who struggles to remember about filling the water back up for his fridge and then blames the manufacturer.
>>686523131A weapon for French jockeys.
>>686523242Gunlance is a weapon that everyone wants to use but nobody actually does because it requires a lot of skills to function at a fundamental level, which you don't have when you start, and the scaling at high levels usually sucks because the shell damage is mostly fixed.
>>686523237>There are some movements where your shield is in front of your body for some number of frames that doesn't give you guard framesName one.
>>686521287>OneNo. It's Charge Blade, Hammer, Bow, Longsword. Those four in order of most used.Charge blade for most shit. Bow and hammer for fun. Longsword for endgame when the designs start looking good enough for me to use it.I might try Greatsword this time around too, some of these changes made it seem like they made it feel less cumbersome.
At least bow takes some skill to use and is risky, light bowgun is just pure cringe.
Redpill me on great sword. Ive played every game since 2009 that wasnt a chinese mmo and never tried it. Ive used LS, Hammer, DS, SnS, Bow, and Insect Glaive
I don't know yet. I won't know until I've playtested them all for an hour or two.What I can say is that I'll be testing hammer first.
>>686523242them making shelling damage scale with attack alone is enough to greatly increase the number of people using itpeople just feel forced to drop it in other games when their hunts double in time because the monsters are getting stronger but their damage stays the same
>>686523445Extremely simple easy mode weapon that everyone pretends requires a 4 digit IQ and encyclopedic knowledge of all monster movesets.
>>686521287db
>>686523445I play GS and CB.CB most of the time and GS for any monster which requires me to sheath often because fuck CB's like 2.5 second sheath animation
>>686521287Still waiting for the announcement of big fucking punchers.
>>686523445You charge attack, you hit, you charge attack, you hit, you charge attack, you hit, you sheath weapon and run aroundand that's it. That's great sword.
>>686523609What the fuck?
>>686521287sword and shield because I'm actually skilled at the game
>>686523445Very simple weapon that will force you to actually learn each monster if you don't want every hunt to take a year. At least this is what GS mains will claim.In truth they just start charging randomly and pray the monster will wander into their charge slash and get staggered.
>>686521287I really haven't followed much for Wilds, and I'm probably going to wait a bit to pick it up because>lmao capcom PC port>lmao Denuvo>lmao RE Engine on PCWorld and Dragon's Dogma 2 both had pretty fucking awful launches, and I don't expect Capcom to get any better about it.That said, when I do eventually play it I'll probably prioritize>Greatsword>Swaxe>S&S>Gunlance>Hammer>Dual Blades>Charge Blade>HBG>Lance>Insect Glaive>Longsword>Hunting Hornin that order.I don't use LBG or Bow because I play a male character.
>>686523609>literally attack on titanits so retarded and ridiculous i love it. i will now play your weapon
>>686523237>It's only obvious which ones have guard frames if you already know ahead of time which ones have guard frames and then work backwardsIt's pretty obvious right away, and even if you're confused you can look them all up easily online.The part that takes practice/experience is timing them properly. Getting real use out of anything but morph GP requires autistic practice and perfect coordination.Sometimes you luck out while neutral stancing and can take advantage of a random GP though. That's always fun.
LS because it's the most fun weaponProbably bow secondary, but I'll change it based off the hunt.
>>686523609
>not a single new weaponCapcom is such a fucking shitty joke of a company.
>>686524024What would you add? I bet it's reddit as fuck.
>>686524134You asked for it
>>686524024>He doesn't know>he didn't read the chartOH NO NO NO NO
>>686524210Don't tell him
>>686524134Tonfa or accel axe, faggot
>>686524024there's already too manyif anything we should be removing the ones no one cares about like insect glaive and the gay ranged ones
>>686521287I kinda want to try to main a different weapon but I know that in the end I'll probably just play SnS and HH again.
>>686524134Magnet Spike and I won't apologize.
>>686524134Take the Surge Slash GS moveset with all the little tanking aspects and just make that a new Great Axe weapon. GS can go back to being the charging weapon + whatever other little neat tricks. I will buy all your cosmetic DLC if you just do this, Capcom-kun.
>>686524134Big punchers
I got bored of Monster Hunter World after 74 hours and reaching Hard Rank 14. Everything hit too hard and took too long to kill unless you played multiplayer with people with max gearThe Coral Highlands and Rotten Vale reminded me of Made in AbyssThe Clutch Claw reminded me of Attack on Titan.Weapons needing to be sharpened reminded me of Dark Souls 2 (non-SOFTS) where durability was tied to the frame rate.Hunger reminded me of Dungeon Meishi but it didn't feel as important.Monsters respawning after you kill or capture them reminded me of the dungeon system in Dungeon no Naka no Hito.
>>686524134Gunlance from Lost planet
>>686523445I only use GS because it's the most simple weapon but also requires your to understand monster attack pattern Also big numbers
Why Doesn't Monster Hunter Have Knuckles Or Fists Weapons?
>>686524791World is the easiest game for newcomers to get into and the easiest game in the series next to p3rd. World monsters also have incredibly low HP pools when you play solo. You legitimately must have missed something when it comes to the combat if you think things are taking too long to kill.
>>686524791>high rank>clutch clawdid not hunt
>>686524134Mon Hun version of thismaybe just the hands which would be a blunt parallel to dual blades
>>686521287Long Sword, but only after the expansion and the last title update because I don't want to play an incomplete game again. God, base Rise was so fucking shit.
I like playing hammer because I get a super special monster knockdown all my own that nobody else can replicate!
>>68652479120-30 minute timers are fine if you're green, 40-50 and monhun is probably too hard for you.
>>686523538I don't play GL because it does low damage; I don't play the weapon because it's boring and less mechanically interesting then gen 5 Lance. GL can be just like IB with a 1 shot modded glitch in every game and I still wouldn't touch that shit.
>>686524134Besides the ones that already exist in the weird spin-offs, and this guy's idea >>686524559Make an actual gunblade weapon that has the gimmick of doing timed trigger pulls when your weapon connects for extra damage. Like Nero's Exceed/MAX-Act but with a more generous window because it's MH and not DMC. You reload ammo to be able to do the timed shots, then you charge a meter from landing hits (and get way more if you do the timed shots). The meter puts you into a hyper mode that changes your combos and lets you do the timed hits without consuming ammo.Can even call it gunsword to reward the best shitposter on /v/.
>>686525113>waiting over a year to play a game well past its multiplayer golden age>for a game that's already taken years longer than it should haveanon... do you just have infinity time on this earth?
>>686524024>>686524134Tonfa, GunAxe, GunHammer, Flail, FistWeapon
>>686523242I am a simple man, I see lance that explodes and I use it. That was genuinely my main reason for using it when I first played FUNow I'm experienced in every weapon but GL is still my baby
>>686525282He's dead anonLet him go
>>686521287For me, it's>SnS>Bow>SA>LBGMight try out DB, IG, and the *lances in Wilds but I'll probably always fallback on the good ol' SnS as my main
>>686521428
>>686524134Twin scythes. Like reaper class from Tera.Also add loli hunters, naturally
>>686525301Anon, Rise gets 20k daily and World gets 60k daily. That's plenty of people to play with.
>>686525476>He's dead anon>Let him go
>>686524134Fast damaging weapon but blunt. Whatever that is, I'm game.
>>686525596Who??
>>686525637its called sword and shield
>>686525301I only play with a friend and never randos. We both only play when the game has been fully released.
>>686525743The shield doesn't do elemental damage. I like sns but that's not the goal.
>>686522634retards think that not being able to chain aerial moves is a bad thingin truth it's one of the best changes since you won't have shitters thinking it's viable to play like that in the first place
Hunting Horn!!!! Has anyone uploaded HH gameplay?
>>686525282Isn't that gunblade idea basically just the Long Blade from God Eater without the bullet customisation or the stance cancelling/infinite loop fun?
>>686525549and like 90% of the population for either is fully augmented armor and like full fatty gear or whatever, its nothing like how it was on launch, its closer to just playing with cheaters in pubs than anything else
>>686525637Insect Glaive does that.
>>686525998Lmao
>>686521287Lance, gunlance, sword and board, charge blade, switchax, and ill maybe try whatever the new weapon is. Its gonna be a good hunting time.
>>686521287
>>686525998
>>686522305Yes
>>686525731Based gun sword guyHe had Capcom's ass for not adding the gun sword from Lost Planet 2 to Monster Hunter.https://arch.b4k.co/v/search/text/gun%20sword%20lost%20planet/
>HH buffs carry over to your second weapon>there's now no reason to use HH since you can just get its buffs then switch to Hammer or something elseWhy would they do this
>>686524134Kusarigama. Give it two modes of use: Held and Released. Held mode has you swinging it around while holding the sickle, with a few spins and whatnot to utilize the weight at the opposite end and kicks. Released lets you twirl it using the chain for wide sweeping attacks from both ends. It'd have a mix of slash and blunt damage depending on how you're hitting the monster. Now, since every fucking weapon needs some sort of extra gimmick, give it a gauge that you build by landing attacks as well as perfect dodging them, but you also lose some of it when you get hit. When the gauge is full, the blade on the sickle gets larger, deals more damage, and has innate Mind's Eye. The weighted end works the same as the sickle aside from the size, but can also utilize an attack where you send it out to deal a very heavy hit with solid KO and/or flinch potential. Doing that attack immediately depletes the gauge.
Isn't it just world again but now melee can aim too?
>>686526265HH will now be the most used weapon in their weapon stats
>>686521287>the only way to get SAED is to guard point or perform a decade-long axe combo>the only way to get pizza cutter is by destroying a wound via focus attack>you can no longer triangle+circle to winFuckers turned the Chad Blade into a Cuck Blade. Fuck this gayme.
>>686526523>SAED spam>funfaggot
>>686526523CBniggers always going on how high IQ their weapon is as if they aren't a bunch of mouthbreathing midwits. Removing spammable SAED is something they should love.
>>686526523>>the only way to get SAED is to guard point or perform a decade-long axe comboGood>>the only way to get pizza cutter is by destroying a wound via focus attackSeriously?
>>686524134Accel Axe. They already had it in the mobile game and it was damn cool.SnS but heavier. I don't want the charge blade, I don't want to turn it into something else to do damage. No, I just want SnS but heavier.
>>686521428>>686525515Can somebody add the party party song to this
>>686526265Why the hell would I switch? Hunting Horn fucks.
>>686526265>now no reason to use HH since you can just get its buffs then switch to Hammer or something elseThe only reason you need is fun, you semen guzzling faggot.
>>686526265Capcom been fucking our butts since World broIt's only downhill from there
>>686526637>CBniggers always going on how high IQ their weapon isNah. The only ones that say that have never played CB. See >>686522843Actual CB hunters simply enjoy the build/burn damage style and the feeling of letting huge nukes rip. Kind of similar to greatsword users in that sense.
>>686526882I don't even like the nukes or the pizza cutter parts desu, I just like using it primarily like a spamming jack of all trades knight character who only uses sword mode and the single/double phial attacks. Thinking is the losing man's game, I just hit and block things randomly until it dies.Honestly the redpill of monster hunter is that none of the weapons have a high skill floor at all, unless you give the caveat that you have to use IG as anything other than a grounded DPS stick or something.
>>686526523meanwhile LSGAWDS can just cancel a helmsplitter midair. Sucks to suck CBottoms.
>>686521287WTF is a gunsword?
I will never play LongswordYou can't make meCapcom can't make me no matter how much favouritism they show to Longsword
>>686527168If that's your playstyle you'll probably enjoy wilds. I'll still give it a try.Seems kind of like an attempted throwback to MH4
>>686526523>CB gets more emphasis on big sword and shield and AED, and landing your guard pointsThank fuck, might actually play it again.
>>686526671Charge Blade would be better off as two separate weapons: a chainsaw axe, and Mystic Knight from Dragon's Dogma.
>>686527487I doubt it. CB has been utterly cursed since we ruined 4U for everyone.
>>686527250>cancel a helmsplitter midairWait, fucking what? Timestamp!?
>>686527250Everything I'm seeing makes it clear capcom is catering to LSfags above all else.It's as if they're not even trying to hide it.
>>686528146If Gen 5 is anything to go by, LS is going to blow the rest of the blademasters out of the water in the base game, and then get curtailed come MR.
>>686528265Seems likely. Question is whether it can contest ranged this time.
>>686528146Going by the footage from outlets and streams, LS basically didn't get anything new except the cancel. Even the helmsplitter extension just got tacked on to one that already exists without being a new thing. This is the complete opposite of 5th gen where LS got the most new shit.That cancel doesn't even do anything beyond not wasting a resource. It doesn't provide buffs or go into a new move.
>>686526265>Temporary buffs last after weapon switchNo fucking way, incredible. Next you'll tell me that HH buffs still apply when it's sheathed
>>686528508LS got>New move on the regular combo>Spirit Combo 1 and 2 can be used to reposition>New regular combo when at red. Combo does also as much damage as the spirit combo while being way faster, thus likely a dps boost>A new charge attack that levels the gauge when it hits>Helmsplitter can be cancelled and has a follow up attack>When at red gauge your moves don't consume spirit gauge (except wiffed foresight slashes), and instead the gauge just slowly drainsAnd while it's not new, ISS works similar to Rise. Overall LS has got quite a few new tools and changes.
>>686528593You're a fucking retard.
>>686528146It's just tradition at this point
>>686528816You're saying something that literally does not fucking matter at all.Wow, timed buffs contiue even when they're not being actively played. The same way the weapon has literally ALWAYS functioned.No fucking shit.
>>686529027You're saying that as if GS hasn't been at the top for far longer than LS and that it didn't get effectively an entirely new weapon built specifically for it in Rise.
>>686529027I hope someday hammer gets a similar tradition
>>686521287Bow
>GS looks hilariously plain and unfinished>Ham's "Strength" L3 is some slow as fuck double staged whiffing dogshit, no Courage>Lance's Just Guard was literally given to GL, changed to even slower "defensive" facerolling, esp. with the dogshit "quick-time" events from guarding in combat>GL gets faster everything, properly cyclical resources, Stake brought up to importance, WF range extended to 10-15M, apparently Raw-scaled shelling, reduced sharpness consumption, and a Redirection-like animation-cancelling Just+Adept GuardI don't think even Rise LS was this one-sidedly sucked offthe Sunbreak guy and the Wilds guy the same director or something?
>>686523609I've been seeing that DB is more combo heavy in wilds now. Less commitment and long dances but more weaving in moves as you dance resulting in more rip and tear gameplay.
>>686529552to be fair, even with all that shit GL is still dog
>>686527941I just looked it up and holy moly that is nice. Always hated accidently staggering the monster on the thrust or a teammate staggering the monster and then ending up missing the slash.
>>686526265Between the time you take switching weapons (twice) every 120 seconds and losing any weapon-specific resources inbetween (gauge, phials, etc.) I can't imagine this will actually be a common or even optimal playstyle, especially since 99% of players don't even pop a Might Seed for anything short of a special event boss monster
>>686521287For me is Lance.
sexo hunter
>>686522661it's scaled with atk now
>>686521287GREAT SWORD BECAUSE ITS GREAT
>>686523242>vocal minorityWhat do you mean a poll that was conducted in the corner of the internet doesn't represent the whole fanbase?Preposterous
>>686530013Would be cute if it wasnt for the retarded hair
>>686521287Greatsword, Longsword, Charge Blade
Seeing IG mains on xitter cry they can't helicopter any more fills me with great joy.
>>686530381Makes me excited to try it
>>686522548>is it true they got rid off the helicopter moves?It's still there but it doesn't bounce you back in the air anymore so no spamming/flying
>>686530013Those proportions look so stupid. Man, I really don't like the new artstyle for humanoids at all.
>>686530013She's ugly
>>686530013They will never top Hinoe, Minoto, Fiorayne, Rondine, and Luchika.
>>686529552>Redirection-like animation-cancelling Just+Adept Guardwhere
>>686523131its just a glaive but you have a pet insect on the side for some reason
>>686530708literally no one wants to fuck rondinebitch has a penis for a head
IG bros what the FUCK is this
>>686530901It uses up all our essence so I guess it's some finisher
>>686530901But I can't mash circle till I get side checked and carted! Literally unplayable!
>>686530901so are the worldfags gonna start defending anime attacks now that wilds has it or what
>>686530840Yeah, sure. She's still better than World's handler and all of the Wilds girls so far.Also, I forgot Minayle. So many good girls in Rise.
>>686531208They still attacked them when World was filled to the brim with them, so obviously not.
>>686531208>play with 3 others>every player is doing giant leaps into the air every 20 secondsI hate it
>>686531208They'll defend it up until the moment a Switch 2 version is announced and then they'll immediately start calling Wilds shit
>>686531208>actually, anime attacks and counters aren't really THAT bad... they just needed...
>>686521287None. This game was built for nu-monhun tranny tourists who want you to crossdress your character. Games for literal faggots
>>686530974Its the focus attack, apparently you get the essences back with a fresh timer if you hit a wound
Been playing generations again on my 3ds. Might buy a switch once I complete it, if it's still possible to transfer the saves so I can play the g rank. I really enjoy how it has so many zones from gens 1-4. Kind of a bittersweet feeling playing it though, as it's the last game in the series before the normies invaded.
>>686521287I think I'm gonna pick hammer funlance
I do think the switch axe is the most fun weapon, although it's is objectively not the best in World. In fact, it is perhaps its averageness that makes it fun. It's not overpowered, and it's not dogshit. Isn't that the definition of balanced?
>>686521802>shells scale with raw>shells don't consume sharpnessHave these been confirmed because that sounds sick.
>>686530708Rise was literally soulless P3rd. You were topped before you even got to the starting line. Even the Sunbreak girls are soulless versions of Frontier girls.
>>686530717I don't know what that guy is even trying to say but every shield weapon has a perfect guard mechanic now
>>686532073It barely has any maps from 1. Which is a shame, because those are the best maps. I think MHFU was the last game to feature them, aside from the dunes and the tower.
>>686531429>nooo the series is woke n-ACKKKnigger.
So was Dragon's Dogma 2 really just a beta test of the REX engine ahead of MH Wilds?
>>686532073Hate to break it to you but the franchise was normalfag since 2nd G. Dos was the last time is wasn't normalfag central.They literally put Tri on the Wii because Wii was the normalfag console.Portable 2nd was when they started doing normalfag clothing brand crossovers and putting Shonen Jump collabs in the game too.
>>686532097It could be the worst weapon in the game and I'd still love it because of Zero Sum.
>>686532073My only gripe with GU is that Hyper monsters are complete ass solo and you have to hunt them constantly at endgame, that's real fucking health bloat right there. Otherwise easily best Monhun, even if only because it's the best parts of each game crammed together with extra on top.
>>686532287At least in terms of the west there is a world of difference between casual gamers and normalfags, it's very disingenuous to pretend like World wasn't a gargwa-antuan influx of normalfags who would otherwise never even touch the franchise with a 30ft pole.
I play sns exclusively and always have except for the one time I lost my mind and went prowler only
>>686532224I can smell your axe wound from here. You definitely started with world and thought behemoth was the coolest shit ever.
>>686531924gee bill how come your game gets TWO cunny princesses?
>>686525301>230 hours playtime in world>never once played with another person
>>686532113Hunting horn and cat buffs to attack apparently raised shelling damage in the demo
>>686532287I know that in japan mh is pretty normie, but here in the west there wasnt any normies playing until world. Even tri on the wii was still a "nerd game". Now the console releases are straight up mainstream. Notice how the fanbase didnt get crazy toxic until a game released that deviated from world. I like all mh games but I just miss when nobody in my area played it except me and my irl friends.
>>686532319So the g rank is a proper challenge? Even if the hyper monsters are a drag to fight that still sounds awesome. It would just push me to make the sickest high dps build possible
>>686532806>Notice how the fanbase didnt get crazy toxic until a game released that deviated from world.World vs Rise is an extension of the 4U vs Gen "anime game" shitposting that spiraled into Gen vs World and beyondIts also an argument that barely even exists outside of the minds of the mental patients you might find on 4chan
>>686532940Hyper's probably the worst endgame monster aids gimmick they've come up with since it only raised HP and made AoEs biggerDeviants are more interesting by far but the quest and ticket system for upgrading their gear sucks ass
>>686532940Hypers are not really a challenge, just a slog. I guess they're technically harder than G Rank because the moves affected by the hyper stuff at the time get faster wind ups and it changes the body part mid fight, but really they just have a fuckton of HP so you have more chances to get hit. Not bad in multiplayer.I would personally argue that GU is by far the hardest game, yeah, but also I pretty much exclusively play solo. Only really Sunbreak's endgame when you get to the randomised match ups of apex, elder dragon, title update fights, etc being paired with each other at the highest anomaly levels does it come close for me. Deviants are fucked up.
>>686531208I've shat on anime attacks on all games they were in ever since Gen
>>686532806I mean you're already a liar by saying it only got crazy toxic with the Rise release.We literally had FU versus Tri wars, on top of every versus Generations wars. /v/ alone had a fucking autistic listfag poster that spent 6 months spamming a list about why World will fail.You seem to have forgotten that games all around have increased market reach. Depending on who you look at, between between a third to almost half of all FU sales were in the west, same with 4U. Both were during a time where only Nintendo was selling 10 million plus games and everyone else was topping out at 3 to 5 million. Fucking Halo 3, the most normalfag game around, would be considered a lower end release these days with only 5 million in two weeks.Think about that for a second. FU did 4 million in a time period where the huge games like Halo 3 took a year to get to 8 million.The normalfags were already in the building.
>>686525515faster!!
>>686530717from that CaoCao Gunlance guyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVNNtsRlmi0reportedly self-cancelling same as Insta-Block, works in immediate move recovery faster than even Redirection allowed, and even works on move startupthis kinda psycho shit is what Lance should've (also) been
>>686532806>didnt get crazy toxic As a Tribaby I remember how we were the ones who ruined the series with an easy game full of tutorials and bad underwater combat. Then 4 ruined it with ledges and je suis monté. Then Generations ruined it by making the games into Frontier, which also ruined the series beforehand.
>>686533320Lance's regular counter was replaced with guard canceling if that's what you're talking about.Its why the old counter input skips straight to powerguard now
>>686532940Don't listen to teh casuals, the hypers rock. They're faster, more unpredictable and hit hard as fuck. Several get new moves and new patters.inb4 anyone disagreeing with me, go hunt G-rank Lagiacrus and then hunt G-rank Hyper Lagiacrus. Now that's a fight where you grow some chest hair.
>>686533971Do you have an example of new moves they learn that their regular G Rank counterparts don't have? Because I'm pretty sure the only thing that changes on the monster is their health pool size, frequency of becoming enraged and the speed of affected attacks tied to that body part (both faster and slower).
>>686533772I feel bad for you tribabs. The shitting on you wouldn't have lasted so long if Portable 3rd had been officially released outside of Japan. We could've all laughed together about no content, super easy, braindead Portable 3rd. You guys would've cried at that time with how hard Alatreon got nerfed.
>>686530901HOLY SHIT
BUT WHERE'S THE HH GAMEPLAY????
>>686535119Turns out no one actually plays HH except HH players and they guard their secrets closely. That way retard speedrunners can go EVERYONE IS GONNA USE HH because they don't know how HH actually works and don't realize the biggest buffs are all bubbles now.

>>686523609Monster Hunter is dead, and I don't know what this thing walking around in its skin even is.
>>686524791I fucking hate this pasta, it's too ESL and hard on the eyes
>>686529552Gunlance spent an entire decade and a half playing like garbage until very recently and now they're actually listening to the things people complained about that entire time. Things like shelling attacks not scaling with raw attack, being forced to slaplance as a result, the absurd sharpness loss of shelling attacks practically requiring Protective Polish, and not being able to do attacks that utilize both shelling and melee at once. We DESERVE this for once.
>>686530901>down a monster>finally, the perfect opportunity to use my extra flashy, slow as fuck, all or nothing Rising Spiral Slash™>jump above their hitbox and whiff 80% of the hits>limply fall to the ground and start recollecting extracts
>>686535760It wouldn't be an IG player if they didn't completely miss the monster. I'm just glad the demos have proven you can miss focus attacks. They were starting to look like guaranteed hits for a while.
>>686535760Insect Glaive is the weapon of kings, truly all or nothing at it's very core. Man not only vs monster, but against the laws of physics themselves. Grounded Peons like LS, GS and Hammer fags could never appreciate the level of finesse, skill, positioning and timing required to master the art of combat.
>>686535119Here, horn brother, this is all you need.
>>686535760>>limply fall to the ground and start recollecting extractsthe attack has a followup attacks but absolutely NONE of these goddamn playtesters do it
>>686535760Me, I'm gonna use it to clip a Balahara that's playing pillar decoration above me to bring him down.
>>686536203The fuck is high frequency, sonic bomb?
>>686536643Probably, triple yellow double has always been sonic bomb.
>>686521287Switch axe.
>>686521287sns, SA, CB and HB
>>686533320GoodNo more awkward evasion gunlancing
>Insect Glaive>Switch Axe>Charge BladeIf you use any of these, then you are a dumb zoomer. Real hunters only use the original set of weapons >GS, DS, SnS, H, L, Lbg, Hbg. But bow and gunlance are alright too.
>>686531924gonna need a sauce or artist, mate
>>686521287I'm gonna use the bow and people are gonna be bitching about it as per usual
>>686537018https://litter.catbox.moe/ij4kpf.png
>>686537010>immediately contradicts himselfYeah, whatever you say loser. You probably secretly have 300+ hunts with LS anyway.
>>686537268holy basedthanks
>>686523364the...uh.....uhmmmm........
>>686536203WE can finally change melodies on weapons?
>rise 2>full of frontier monster>hunter art>underwater fight>new weaponyou rike?
>>686536203Not a hornchad but was thinking of picking it up for Wilds, that means it's back to World style dooting right?
>>686521287I always change my main per game, so I'm thinking about going SnS for Wilds
>>686536203>Room for two whole rows of songs on the UIAre they gonna have horns with 10 different songs
>>686537834You have expanded setlists and note patterns, but the horn takes after Rise in being better at the actual combat half, with faster ways of belting shit out. So honestly it's the perfect fusion and will likely go down as the best HH MH has ever had.
>>686537970It depends on your note colors, there are color combinations that get tons of songs, there are combos that get a few powerful songs instead.
>>686521287Bow is always trash early game because fuck making a weapon for each element. So I'll go Hammer + CB until late game, and start adding Bow during my late game farm.Can't wait.
>>686537994I mainly just remember HH mains being very angry at the notes and songs part of rise being shrimplified
>>686533320babymode
>>686535532>choice note on a draw attack is backNiceCrazy how they introduced it in Rise but then made notes completely pointless
