New trailerhttps://youtu.be/84vLvb6RVf4?si=waeAsydatPdN3Rk_Look who is back and has crystals now.
>>724629410We can change the companions' armors.
is this a four niggas in a row game?
*floats around*>>724629410https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVybnlOrR8YJP version of the trailer
>>724629410>>724629615Wait a second, I just noticed that the legiana's guy is missing. He is not in the cutscene with Yama and he is not in the layered armor pic, also the new guy ALSO has a Legiana, does this mean he is gonna die?
MH is dead haven't you heard?
>>724629669Yes but is two riders two monsters.
I feel like every time I come on /v/ the turd is more and more polished, sculpted, with a brown sheen and delightful glitter on top.But. It is still. A turd.
>>724629615cool and cute outfits!
>>724629615No! She was already the perfect tomboy and now they make her even better?
>>724629410Looks woke
>>724629815cool the art style is 10/10 might have to give it a try
>>724629410Yawnn movieslop
>>724629410Looks better than Wilds lol, lmao.
>>724629410Stories is saving the franchise kek, mainline looks like such dogshit in comparison. Yama Tsukami looks dope
>>724629410Who the fuck is the guy at the right of Not!Edgelard? At first I thought it was MC but he is in the middle.
>>724629707Hola, vine a flotar. Bueno chao!
>>724629410I understand this game is heavily focused in plot but when they will show some gameplay? Specifically about gene transfer, I wanna see if they improved it (9x9 gene grid pls).
>>724629410Finally, a better thread.
>>724629410I fucking hate Capcom nowadays but I'll buy this
>>724629925Can't wait for Thea's side story quests.
>>724629410Ok, that cooking scene is really damn cute
>>724629925to make her even better is to make her naked!
>>724629410I beat MHstories 2 like literally a month before they announced this one. Besides genetic monstie tism and the post game dungeon I think I got to the 7th floor before I just started playing something else is there anything else in the postgame to do?>>724629837MHstories is actually a nice lil monster trainer game. DragonWarrior monsters changed the recipe too much for my tastes. Pokemon well at least you have romhacks. This has a nice literal rock paper scissors mechanic on top of your regular monhun strenths and weaknesses. Plus they really need to make a fucking monster hunter action game with these style of graphics. I was really hoping rise would use MHS2 but with this maybe the new rice or spinoff toaster """mobile""" title will look like a fucking ghibli film and have all sorts of goofy fun shit to do in it compared to milds.>>724629669you could not get more four niggas in a row than this. play the demo for 2 I had a lot of fun with it.Does anyone have that big gameplay video with the field skills and wandering all over? I might need to get me a fart cat and rey dau and fuck up some monsties
>>724630805>the cooking scene from the spin-off is cuter and more visually appealing than all the cooking scenes from wildsHow did this happen?
>>724629410Damn the art style actually evolved into looking quite detailed but still nicely stylized
World is still the only real monster hunter
>>724630897Can I skip MHS 1 and 2? I fucking hate that one cat
>>724631539ye. there's a raisin why navirou got died 12 thousand years ago.
>>724631093Stylized artstyle always beats HYPER realism.
>>724631579Nice, I'll try it then
Is this a guy or a girl? I genuinely can't tell and I saw both versions of the trailer.
>>724631804I hope it's a girl.
>>724629410>Gender defined armorsYeah, the MHS team is going all up against the mainline team.
I tried Stories 1 but man it's so fucking boring. The game just has nothing going on for it in terms of complexity and moving around the maps is agonizingly slow. Is 2 better?
Portable title used to make better games than mainline but now even spinoff are going to piss on the corpse of mainline
>>724632301We're so back!
>>724629669yes, but you only control 2 of them
yaa maat soo commie
>>724629410Honest question, should I buy a Switch to play this game?
>>724632736It's not a Switch exclusive so no, why the fuck would you do that? That would be incredibly retarded.
>>724632791The amiibo of it are switch exclusive.
>>724630420LocoArts en 2025?
>>724629410Artstyle looks fucking good. Wish Wilds looked like this with a bit more polish to the environment
>>724629615YESYES
>>724629707ngl, this looks lacklusterthe environments look incredibly boring. It's just what Wilds would look like with an anime filter
>>724629615>Deluxe kit>DLC packOf fucking course.
>>724629615Why do I feel motivated to buy all these yet I felt nothing for Wilds accesories?
>>724633587It's Capcom after all, what do you expect?
>>724629410Need... Tsukino...
>>724633252>>724633537The duality of anon.
>>724633741Tsukino so kino
>>724633802>>724633252the character models look fine, but this was never an issue in any MH game.
>>724632301>>724633537she cute
>>724633984>the character models look fine, but this was never an issue in any MH game
>>724634386Use a spoiler with that image, anon!
>>724631804>no eyelashesguy
So if all these costumes for Rudy and monster hairs are confirmation of monsters appearing in the game (Stories 2 also had monster hair and all monsters based on the hair appeared), Stories 3 will have:>Arkveld>Mizutsune>Lunagaron>Espinas>Scorned Magnamalo>Goss Harag>Garangolm>Vaal hazak? >Malzeno
>Not one but two new trailers>Neither had any gameplay at allIs it just Stories 2 again with different characters or what?
any new weapons?
>>724634842>not based on Vaal Hazak, but on a cephalopod>>724634894There has been multiple footage of gameplay demos that have been uploaded on youtube, where the fuck have you been?
>>724635025https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW1lVVWjxI4longsword
>>724634842>ArkveldLMAO, certain useless piece of shit is having meltdown.
>>724629615Thea needs no improvements as she's already perfect but holy shit the princess's vagina bones
>>724629410Damn this art looks like shit. Why is REngine so fucking desaturated and foggy jesus christ.At least PC has sweet fx.
>>724635090huh Im surprised it took that long to come in the first place.Charge Blade when...
>>724634386he looks good from a purely graphical standpointUgly people are a stable of MH
>>724629615ok but is there romance system?
>>724635215Wilds graphics suck ass, they are ugly and dull. Hell, compared Rey Danu from Wilds with its MHS3 model, the latter is much more colorful and alive as result.
>>724633984Cataract gaming.
>>724635215stylized ugly is kinorealism ugly is shit
>>724634386So... people actually paid to play this?
>>724635627They did for World, but unlike that they actually disliked it and gave it bad mouth from luth, making its sales crash down.
>>724629615>>724634842>Deluxe kit>Side Story: RudyAAAAAAA NOOO I DON'T WANT TO BUY DELUXE TRASH BUT GATO SEXO AAAAAA
>>724634842Where's my Kayna DLC?
>>724635730Paywalling story content seems to be the next big thing the awful Capcom execs are doubling down on, probably even more in the future
>>724636049Sweet I have those
>>724636139As an american, this makes me feel seen.
>>724635730Rudy is male.
>>724636049No Wilds and World?
>>724636139Light-medium tan is the sweet spot.
>>724636173They weren't Nintendo, so
>an entire village of dogfuckers
>>724636335IS THIS A GUY OR A GIRL?!
>>724636139>nargacuga been in the game for a decade now>still surprised about this
>>724636379Based blindbro
>>724632301If this game doesn't end with me putting a baby in Eleanor
>>724636049To compare with the previous MCs.
>>724637540>EleanorweakPut a baby in her sister, the Queen of Vermeil
>>724629410As they didn't bother to hide the fact the other rathalos' rider is not!edgelard's older sister, I wonder what will be the big twist.
>>724632301can't believe some people were saying that this 10/10 cutie looks like seething gremlin Edelgard
>>724637542I am sure the 1 and 2 MCs have around the same age but the former looks younger because chibi style.
>>724636169Good.
>>724636173Tokudaverse is not canon
>>724638594No, we need another GATO SEXO.
>>724638692>have World and Wilds mons in game
>>724638865That actually look more colorful and alive as result.
>>724632301SEX
>>724640007My daughterwife. I want an armor that keeps that facepaint while still showing off her tummy
Where are the cute girls? They're all so boyish.
disgraceful muddying of monster hunter franchise
>>724640260tomboys are cute
>>724640260The princess and the chocolate woman are very feminine.
>>724640260tomboy game
they added Gunlance in MHS2 so I'm obligated to play MHS3 as a gunlance chad
>>724640962>slinger>lagicrus armornigger what gen is this
>>724640962Isn't GL in the Stories games hot dogshit?
>>724641064both are in Wilds
>>724641315oh yeah i forgot this series was dead
>>724640369but enough about Wilds
>>724640260Shut up femboy
>>724640007Oh, she is completely flat. I do like tomboy but "tomboys with big boobs" make me crazy.
Can you romance the princess though?They won't disappoint us after the horny little shit known as Fiorayne, right?
>>724643080Well anon, let see what we know.>your kingdom and hers are about to go full war>his older sister, the queen, is the other rathalos's rider.>your dad, the king, is STILL ALIVE.>your mom fucked off because the king tried to kill the other rathalos twin>the game rating is TAll this is setting a scenario where your dad dies, then you take down her sister and in order to avoid a war you have to do the most important duty a royal can do: unification though marriage and this will still happen if you are a princess.
>>724632301I love this artstyle. Future games should have it. Is it really RE engine?
>>724643484This is basically Ghibli art style with a sexiness cranked up and fat thighs, of course it's based.
>>724643484Even if mainline sticks to the realism slop I hope the next Rise like portable game uses it. Though I say portable I really hope they don't make the next one Switch/PC exclusive cause I would prefer to play it on PS5. I even double dipped and bought Rise again when the console port came out.
>MHS3 not only looks better than wilds but will also have good performance the absolute fucking STATE of "mainline" MH
>Hunter partner dies with RevertoRIP
>>724644025>Kyle so shit he is memory holed
>>724644091I genuinely forgot him and only remember Tsukino because of you fags spamming her
>>724643794>a turn based JRPG will have better performant than an action gameWoah
>>724644156mh wilds looks and runs worse than worldWoah
>>724644195Then say that you dumb fucking nigger.
>>724644178From the thumbnail I thought the Pukei's tongue was making a thumbs up
>>724644231both are true statements though
>>724644261And one is actually indicative of a problem and worth mentioning and one is fucking stupid and obvious and you cause you're a retard went for the latter.
>>724641095gunlance is funlance even at its lowestt. 1000+ gunlance hunts in GU
>>724644145Kyle took part in literal "world saving battle" with you, I would be surprised if there are legends of this in MHS3: "rider and hunter saved the world" has a good ring on it.
>>724644348Someone is mad
>>724629410yama tsukami should've been in main title since 3U for fuck sake this is fucking gay universe fuck fuck fuck!!
This gravios is malnourished
>>724643484I’ve seen a few articles saying that it uses RE Engine, but nothing official. Might have to wait for the full game to come out and look through the credits.
>>724644649Then why don't we get a Hunter as a party member?
>Already looks better than wilds Mainline MH in shambles
>>724643484Nigga, Rise was also on RE Engine. Engine doesn't dictate what kind of style of assets and shaders you have to use
>>724645206Because 200 years later all the hunters became riders.
>>724641095It's weird in Stories 2. You "gain" Shells every turn and can fire them to quickly build the Kinship meter. But I never saw a point to building up enough Shells to use Wyvern's Fire instead of a Kinship attack with my Monstie.
>>724629410Why cant Wilds have this type of graphics?
>>724645678>we'll get more Wyvern Riding in future gamesRIP
>>724645678Nooooooooooooooo>>724645776Because the pretty colors scare casual gamers.
>>724645776Because brown and bloom sells more I guess
>>724645776Because anime artstyle doesn't sell
>>724645776Westoids won't buy games unless every single pore or strand of hair is visible
God save the queen
>Portable MH Games still make super cute girls.Yay.
>>724629410The setting of this series feels and looks nothing like MH. It's generic kiddie animeslopThe MH world lends itself better to something a bit grittier and more realistic, but still hopeful and not edgy
>>724647249Just wait till you realize what the most popular MH new game is like
>>724647249MH world has always been dumb, stories obviously doesn’t fit into mainline but it’s not a setting to be overly concerned about
Is there a dating sim system for this game?
>Rathalos was almost cucked to deathDamn.
>>724647808Wat?
>>724636335>theirSo girl or boy?
>>724645776Because it isn't Monster hunter's art style
>>724648636>Avoided specifying this even in gendered languagesSeems like they want to keep it a surprise.
>>724648805I hope that is the case.
Why the fuck is this series more aesthetically traditional to Monster Hunter than mainline Monster Hunter
>>724636335>they, theirIt's all over.
>>724649359Because World and Wilds were designed to cater to american players.
>>724636335I want to fuck the palamute
>>724649889I hate you because you speak the truth.
>>724649547It's literally referring to two niggas, it's not all over yet.
>>724649359In what way?
>>724636335This better be a girl.
It's almost certainly RE Engine, the lighting in this desert really looks like the Wild's plains in the plenty.
>>724629410Imagine they went with this artstyle for Milds instead of its visual vomit.Well, gonna have to wait 10 years for MH7 with modern development times.
>seasonal rathalos
>>724651668Wrong thread.
>>724651014I don't get their obsession to put rocks everywhere. I get it, it's cool to see them irl, because in reality most rocks you see irl are usually overgrown, but this just feels so unnatural. Might as well make a forest with just cherry blossoms.
>>724652854In this at least they will most likely be used for platforming.
>>724640007Yeah, that's a cute outfit, but nothing beats her original outfit with straps, nothing beats the straps.
>>724635289This is the only kind of romance you should expect
>>724647249>The setting of this series feels and looks nothing like MH.Based on what exactly, what do you think the MH setting is like? Because gritty and realistic is 100% not a part of it.
>>724629615>We can change the companions' armors.Actual armor or just layered one?
>>724632593>but you only control 2 of themI fucking hope so. MHS2 was pretty dumb in how you could only control MC and your teammate was AI-controlled.
>>724646960>pre-order bonus onlyI really fucking hate this shit
>>724647249MH's tone has never been gritty and realistic, it has always been playful since the very first one.
>>724644156turn-based rpgs are also rendered in real-time you doofus
>>724655001If you think the only thing that effects performance is the real time rendering you are quite retarded. Do you even know WHY Wilds runs like such shit?
So, she is officially the cook of the team...
>>724655274Might be a problem when she fuckin dies or just turns evil later in the game
>>724655127Yes, because Wilds artists and programmers are talentless hacks.
>>724655274why does the princess know how to cook? just how poor is her kingdom?
>>724655569It's the AI systems dumbass. That's why Wilds runs so poorly. Remove all the AI systems everything in a map has and the game would run perfectly with the same visuals. It has nothing to do with the artists.
>>724655570She's holding one probably unseasoned slab of meat and nothing else, anon.
>>724655836>She's holding one probably unseasoned slab of meat and nothing elseso she likes it raw, huh?
>>724655946Exactly. Not a chef or a cook, even hunters know that a steak should be well done.
>>724656084>Not a chef or a cookExplain this thenhttps://youtu.be/wVybnlOrR8Y?si=lyDrnuqrVZOfKbUi&t=171
>>724656405Canned soup.
>>724655684>It's the AI systems dumbass. That's why Wilds runs so poorly. Remove all the AI>just make everyone stop moving or doing anything, then it runs fineso basically because Wilds artists and programmers are talentless hacks then?
>>724656546You are painfully stupid. Please stop talking when you clearly have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
>>724629792Heh
>>724656405I hate how they didn't show the food.
>>724656736the food she made is supposed to be the game itself (or DLC bonuses)
>>724644978shame GU didn't have this fucker back. people said his hunt in FU were tedious and boring so why not bring frontier's version of yama hunt to GU which is far better than climbing up tower everytime. wish yama was in 4U at the very least, maybe even World, or Rise.
>>724655274Tasty.
>>724644978Finally, someone mald.
>>724644985Interesting, I take this Gravious is much faster than usual?
I really hope the game isn't piss easy like 1 and 2
>>724658379>another male catBOOOOOOOOO!
>>724644978But you can hunt Yama Tsukami in Wilds, oh, wait-
>>724658496
>>724658496stop thinking about mating with catsyou have cute imagine-sized tomboy for that
>>724645776Because you can't run it.>but it's high demandMonster Hunter has consistently been one of the most graphically demanding games any system has to offer. You're bitching because you never played oldgen (and never had to deal with the heat + chug on PSP / 3DS), got Iceborne late (likely during the pandemic) and played the PC port of Rise (for the Switch).You wouldn't bitch that Crysis or Forza have demand, likewise if you're not running it with 16GB of VRAM with the HiRes Texture pack, you're not running it.>but it's unoptimisedIt runs fine at on a 3070 / 4060 at medium + concession settings (+ no fake frames, even). If your hardware is over half a decade out of date (aka a full hardware generation), don't bitch that new games can't run on it. A PS2 can't run PS3 games.>but that's expensiveA 9070 / 5070 is currently ~$550, which is notably cheaper than a current gen console, even before factoring savings on upgrading a single component, >paid online, or games.
>>724632936NTA but even if that's the case I'd advise against it. I like the switch but buying one console for one game is not a good idea
>>724660305I am sure most of MHS fans already have a switch to begin with so they moved to switch 2.
>>724659049BOOOOO!
>>724629410I find funny how MH complain about plot in MH yet this spin off is full of it.
>>724662843Because the game called Monster Hunter Stories is fine being about stories, but when the game called Monster Hunter wants to focus more on the melodrama of a suicidal fat pig bitch reaping all the credit for my actions or a suicidal retarded jeet orphan making civilisation-pivotal decisions before more, then it's a problem.I genuinely care more about the relationship dynamics of a Gammoth seeking vengeance against a Tigrex that killed it's Popo herd decades prior in an ecology cutscene, than I do if all of Kunafa were wiped off the face of the map by an unfortunately timed Rey Dau fart. The feeding dynamics of how Uth Duna feeds primarily on large predatory fish, leaving smaller, more nutritious Sushifish for the rest of the locale (which is now being seized upon by invasive Male Mizutsune and juvenile Lagiacrus populations) is more interesting to me, than knowing that hair-obsessed furgoblins are squatting in the remains of a dam facility and have a grillup on Fridays. I barely cared that the Meowscular Chef used to be the Admiral's palico, whereas I actively tried to follow the skeleton of the dead Dalamadur that makes up the entire upper-map portion of the Rotten Vale and investigated it by myself, to see where the monsters were nesting within it's corpse.Clue's in the name.
>>724629410Is Navirou finally fucking dead? Do we get a female sex Palico instead?
>>724664157Yes and no
>>724664202>YesBased>noBoo...
>>724664358You get a boy who has a woman's voice
>>724629410Why does it look like botw?
>>724664202>>724664721They know what we want! They've always known! Why won't they just give it to us!
>>724632301I don't mind gender defined armors but I don't understand why everyone was so fucking buttmad about the removal. Girls with masks are sexo, right? and most female hunter sets have open face helmets. not sexo. Sometimes I want to be an armoured tank for lance without having to use the same 2 sets, I can just put on a male set whenever I want to get that. It's fucking kino
I hope he comes out of fucking nowhere just to kill a major character again
>>724629707aww. i thought it was a giant enemy crab.
>>724629615they are already selling dlc? for a fucking singleplayer game? jesus christ man just fucking kill the tsushimoto family.
>>724665164I was one of those angry anons, and it was mainly because I didn't trust Capcom to not be lazy about it in Wilds. In Rise there were an increasingly large number of new armor sets that were almost identical between male and female. Magnamalo, Malzeno, Lunagaron etc, so I was fully expecting them to make every armor set fit both without looking good on either, thankfully I was wrong on that and we still have new bulky armors that look oversized on females and slut armors that look ridiculous on males. They were lazy on some dlc/title update armors though, having just one unisex set which is a shame.
>>724633741Where is she?
Still not impressed by the plot so far, looks a bit too derivative of the black blight storyline from the first stories game. But everything else looks absolutely excellent, stories 3 might as well be the mainline game at this point.
>>724665164Because previously you'd have 2 sets of armor per monster (Blademater/Gunner, then Alpha/Beta, sometimes even a third set) + Male/Female versions. This was great, since armor sets would give you a general theme, then a few takes on that theme to get the exact look you'd want, while fitting the fantasy of the set. Maybe the Girros Alpha helm (Plague Doctor) didn't fit the theme you were going for were too bulky, but the Beta helm was the Leather Thief-hood you were after. Male sets were cool, female sets were cute.Now you get 1 set of armor per monster, Male and Female versions refitted on the other. And of those options, it's massively limiting for the Male characters in particular, because all of them have fucking bras and panties (le gender neutral means mens nips are now haram too, those Garuga Panties aren't going to wear themselves if it get in). So for the 5% of non-gooner female characters that are happy they can have a huge selection of male-set knight-waifus (which they could before, just limited to certain sets) while not just playing as a man; the normal Joe Monsterhunter characters that most the vast majority of the non-terminally-online playerbase are going to run through the game practically have notably less shit to choose from, compared to what they could choose from before. But hey, at least now they don't have leddit trannies bitching that they'll tear their eyes out if they can't make their Gerudo Link cosplay with the Female Blango set on a dude.tl;dr They sold less content, but passed it off as a good thing because gender politik
>>724666118Everyone but Ena is dead because 3 is set 200 years after 2.
>>724660162NTA but I play maxed without slop settings and the game tries its fucking hardest to look ugly as fuck. The dogshit artifacing (that's literally in your screenshot too) and most of the maps looking dreary as sin unless its the plenty in the scarlet forest/windward plains fucking blows. Also gore being stuck on the shittiest ice map pisses me off too since he's an invader.
>>724666207Don't forget the other guy, with the legiana, he can also still be alive.
>>724666201Half-truth faux intellectualism as usual from /v/ which ignores existence of sets like Zoh Shia which is entirely differently themed for both male and female. Being able to mix them is objectively good, and there was no gunner since World/Rise so it is in fact a net gain in that context.
>>724666324gore also appears in the ruins and arena you filthy noob game looks great on my machine (ps5 base model) seems like all this shit you regurgitated is a (You) issue.
>>724665716stories 1 and 2 both had multiplayer components(at least the remaster of the 1st game does), 100% certain this one does too and they're just waiting to announce it
So... Early 2026: Stories 2Late 2026 - mid 2027: Wilds G-rank expansion 2028: Portable title (rise/GU sequel.)Damn.... It's a long wait.
>>724666540the multiplayer is MHS2 is really good. raising your monstie and taking on hard fights with friends is peak, as is the PvP. Im surprised its never talked about on here. then again /v niggers only like shit games.
>>724629410I played the first game and it was cool but overstayed its welcome a bit. Havent touched 2 yet. I want to be excited for this one but the trailers havent really sold me aside from pic related. All the trailers are focusing on a story and characters we havent even fucking met yet. Wheres the gameplay?
>>724666540I still thing that PvP just can't work on MH period, so they should drop the PvP element of the MHS games and make a PvE mode.
>>724666763I thought Stories 2 had PvE missions
>>724666763It was ultimately just broken to hell and clearly not made for it.
>>724666763Well, it does. MH stories is turn based like Pokemon so battling is strategic and you have to outsmart your opponent .Also, the VS mode in MH DOS is actually kind of fun.
>>724666763there always always a PvE mode you filthy secondary. are you sure you are reading correctly the shitposting script your xisters wrote you?
>>724666871Anon? are you ok?
>>724666818It does, but main issue is they both took too long/incentivized cheesing via nargacuga and also the interface was clunky with no random/setjoin option so you have the Wilds situation where you have to try and snipe posted sessions before they vanish.
>>724660162what is "runs fine"
>>724666679I tried to make a thread on /vp/ and actually played some anons. don't waste your time in the monster hunter general with the stories titles either.
>>724666504I for one like how washed out and beige the entire visible area looks
>>724666841>Also, the VS mode in MH DOS is actually kind of fun.Wat? Mainline had PvP?
>>724667259It's more blue and sometimes white/pink.
>>724667273It was kind of janky. Basically you had two monsters and you each tried to kill the other team's monster and buffed your with horns. Ironically sort of a pseudo MH Stories before MH Stories.
>>724667259games looks absolutely beautiful you faggot, definitely a massive improvement over World.
>>724633195Una monedita para el steam sale, loco?
>>724666447>yeah bro, you can wear the go-to troongooner Zoh Shia ass-bra yoga pants and dainty angel wi- wait come back bro it's not dressing up in women's clothingAs I said, 20% less choice. You can scavenge some nice parts from the F-sets, but for the most part, there's usually a few pieces that you would almost never want to wear as a man; compared to x2 tailor made sets per sex.>there was no gunner in RiseYeah, it got shat on as lazy there too.>Half-truth faux intellectualism as usual from /v/Maybe if you got your head out of your ass and thought yourself above where you're posting, you'd be able to make better arguments.
>>724667502You massively oversell the loss and always do. Gunner sets had very few that looked truly good, and all had the retarded armshield shit and often vastly inferior looking helmets to the blade sets.
>>724666207For her race standarts Ena is a teenager and Red was like 70 years old when he died so 200 years later would make Ena a MILF or a small granny?
>>724666504Arena doesn't count but I submit to wyveria, I honestly don't know if like that locale or not
>>724668445>dont like ruins course you dont, faggot
>>724668856C...CUTE!
>>724668856why is pig at the table instead of on the table?
>>724669373Poogies are friends not food
hmmm
>>724668445Wyveria feels like Vale 2.0 to me>cool upper portion with low footfall and shortcuts that never get used (seriously, when was the last time you fought anything on the huge spider's web)>open-plan middle area that has a ton of places a fight can drift over to, but in practical terms is locked to ~2 fixed spots in the field>boring linear tunnel down to the bottom that fucking everything uses, that makes the area feel repetitive as fuck>upper main camp is never used, central camps have a huge runback because they're detached from the tunnel>2 map-gimmicks, one which is annoying (effluvium / wylk crystals), the other you'll either forget or never realise exists (acid / tempered monster spawn rate)>can travel to the previous map in-map (Coral Highlands anchor / Cliffs path), but this ultimately does nothing and means very little in terms of ecology that two wildly different environments are connected (Paolumu won't fly down to the Vale, Blangonga won't cross the city)They learned nothing. While I like the high contrast while the climate event is active, it's a real copout that it's original monster population is so low. It's got Xu Wu and that's it; at least Elder's Recess had Dodogama and Bazelgeuse, as well as the obviously more tolerable Elders compared to the dogshit Clones.
>>724669493This is starting to feel very Xenoblade, maybe that's the point.
>>724669746It's just the game getting more mature with it's playerbase. >1 was babyshit>2 was kiddieshit>3 is tweenshit
>>724669854I mean the sidequest thing to strength up your party members. Also there is a massive irony with what you said because Capcom did intend the original MHS to be for literal kids but they didn't give a fuck and instead the usual MH fanbase came to it.
>>724670193>the sidequest thing to strength up your party membersisn't it pretty typical for JRPGs?
>>724670502ohh, is there people in Twitter pissed off over this?
>>724666736i didnt even know these games existed but im gonna buy it solely for the art style because it looks so damn goodimagine if fire emblem looked like this
>>724670598Not really.
>>724629615can we change the games performance?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZqGHF8awyk
>>724670886Yeah, I noticed later that your pic was a joke, not an angry tweet.
>>724666679Ena my beloved>>724667062A hard but necessary lesson.
>>724666207Avinia... ;_;
>>724653084hot
>>724672896At least the fucking cat is gone.
>>724674008Replaced by a new, higher-pitched cat
>>724674008>>724674045Neither of you will ever understand my loss...
>>724668856Adorable.
I heard Espinas is confirmed, is true?
>>724674995Not fully. Mostly assumption.
If seems only the princess can cookhttps://x.com/monsterhunter/status/1984379866322505768?t=QUl4sLqEFXc1eGKjOJHQ9A&s=19That is sorta lame, I was hoping each party could cook and each gives a different buff
>>724669419Why can't they be both?
>>724675075I'm so excited.
>>724676327With primordial Malzeno crown and colors too,.more proof she should have been its rider.
I hope the post game super boss is not Fatalis AGAIN but something insane like...Laviente.
>>724676327My girl!
>>724677501Dalamadur.
>>724678047Laviente is more epic than Dalamur.
>>724629410https://youtu.be/Sz-zNJ8Lh3Q?si=BKklHHGcxwgXMALUI hope the plot important battles against big monsters have their theme songs, in MHS2 the fated 4 didn't have their themes and that sucked.
>>724650256In no way, it’s just a retard new faggot trying to pretend that this is how MH always looked.
>>724629410Did they reveal any new weapons in this game compared to the last one? Can I finally use the switch axe?
>>724678545Long Sword.
>>724678545LS so far.
Too bad it's turn-based garbage
>>724629615>They are wearing the armors of their respective monsters.The fact these are layered armors makes me think we can only equip those in them because why else would those supposedly "normal armors" be layered ones?
>>724647415Yeah, i genuinely would want to have a choice between the princess, the tomboy and the onee-san, but knowing Capcom it will be sanitized crap
>>724629410Cool, not buying another MH product until we get a good mainline game though.
>>724679752>until we get a good mainline game though.Good luck waiting an eternity.
>>724679875Oh no I'll have to not spend my money on garbage how terrible.
>>724678195Shah Dalamadur.
>>724629410>70 to 100 bucks for thislollmao
I needed this.
>>724681146>mogs wilds brutallyWilds bros, our response?
>>724681146God she's so pretty
>>724681146The legiana's guy from the very beginning of the game is missing in all these layer game scenes and the other guy that is in these scenes has legiana too. Does this mean that guy is not playable? Is he gonna get killed off early? I am talking of the guy in this pic, at the left of MC.
The old guy seems cool.
>>724681554And actually ripped.
>>724681146>A fucking princess know how to cookWhat is the excuse for Alma?
>>724681483According to the introduction trailer, he's our best friend, so it's almost guaranteed that he'll betray us. https://youtu.be/ps6yAI5THmM?si=PjYqDbADku-Uof3I&t=201
>>724681871Man I don't wanna get the bee tray
>>724681837Wait, she can't cook? Wasn't her whole point be a handler to the hunter? Hell, the ugly as fuck World Handler did know how to cook.
>>724681929No, she can'tYou either cook food yourself or have ubercat deliver food from local
>>724681871That face, he looks like VOLO, that's is bad news.
>>724636335monster hunter rise bros keep winning AHAHAHA
>>724681871Maybe he simply stays in the home base while the party travels.
>>724682516That sucks, why putting him so much in the marketing and the front image of the game if he is a NPC?
>>724682607To appeal to fujos/yumejos?
>>724681871Looks evil.
Delicious flat chest................
>>724683609Yeah, he does.
>>724683663Lickable tummy
Never played MHS. Can I start with 2 or do I need to play 1?
>>724684057You can start with 2 or 3, only thing is in 2 there are minor cameos of characters from 1, that and the games are incremental improvements so going from 2 to 1 feels worse than 1 to 2.
>>724684057Some NPCs from 1 show up in 2, but the stories are not connected.
>>724684207>>724684192Looks really fu->$40Damn...is it worth it. I played almost every MH including all spin offs, and I love Pokemon.
>>724684535There's a demo.
>>724684826Oh sweet
>>724684535it's not as complicated as pokemon but god damn does it scratch an itch that the 3d gens haven't scratched
>>724684926>>724684826Just checked. No demo on the ps. Ripperoni
>>724684993I thought it was 40 cause it takes you to the deluxe edition first. Standard is 25. That's fair enough considering I bought shit games before for 70 and I know MH is a franchise I like.
>>724681146Is that...a giggle?
>>724634386DIS-FUCKING-GUSTING
>>724634386If didn't know the game and you told me this picture is from a Monster Hunter game, I wouldn't believe you.
>>724686065Honestly, unless you are showing an obvious hunter, a monster, or wyverian/felyne, etc., I don't see it standing out as Monster Hunter when its just some random person's face.
>>724686065It looks like an ill real person.
>>724657389Honestly, chasing Yama around would have probably been much more fun in Rise due to the Wirebugs.
>>724629410I bet nobody saw this return coming.
>>724683663>>724683837How did they manage to make her design so freaking good?
>>724629410I'll just keep it simple.If Testucabra and it's line aren't Monsties in this game then MHW3 can go fuck itself.I will not buy this fucking game unless I can minmax my favorite monster.
>>724672896Who cares about that traitor.
>>724689809Chotacabra is in.
>>724629410World 2 died for this?
is MH Stories 1 & 2 any good?
>>724690836I am having fun with stories 2. It preserves all the charm and whimsy of classic MH, though the story is a bit retarded and I often wish I was actually fighting the monster myself instead of turn based combat
>>724629410I bought MHS2 ages ago on sale. Is it good?
I wanted to like MHS2 but it was so stupidly repetitiveYou go to a new zone and do the exact same things you did in the previous zone
>>724629615>those hairstylesArkveld, Goss Harag, Espinas and Malzeno confirmed?
>>724691194>You go to a new zone and do the exact same things you did in the previous zoneSo its like Monster Hunter
>>724691553Nta, but the fun part of mainline MH game is learning fights themselves, learning quirks and movesets of every new monster, etc. In Stories however fights are mostly the same:>you figure out monster's attack type>spam moves that win against that attack typeThat's it. Which feels way more repetitive that fights in mainline games.
>>724691713>learning quirks and movesets of every new monster,Why are you pretending MH Roster isn't 90% the same as the previous game?
>>724629410I was sure this was another timed Switch exclusive, but I already have it wishlisted on steam and I don't remember doing that at allweird Nintendo didn't pay for exclusivity this time when they actually need games for Switch 2
>>724666736If it plays anything like 2, which I have played, then it will not disappoint. It's some of the best niggas-in-a-row combat I've ever played.
>>724681146I can hear a Disney song about to start, but like a classic Disney song, not the pozzed modern Disney
>>724689556>draw a boy>call it a girlIt's that shrimple
>>724691072Ena's attire doesn't appear to be standard.
>>724691875>It's some of the best niggas-in-a-row combat I've ever played.Is it? For me it there are some pretty major issues with the combat>human companions are AI-controlledI really dislike this decision. Monster being only partially controllable is fair, but there is no reason to not let us pick what our human companions would do. Also looking at the demo video it seems companions would remain AI-controlled in MHS3.>dual attacks are way too OPThey are fairly easy to set up, deal a lot of damage and prevent enemy from acting. And on top of it dual attacks invalidate 95% of rider skills because skills cannot trigger dual attacks. This whole mechanics needs a serious rework.>rider skills and monster skills using the same resourceThis just feels unintuitive and inconvenient. Though again looking at the demo video it seems a monster and a rider will both personal gauges to spend on skills.>over-reliance on winning head-to-headsToo many mechanics are tied to it: kinship gauge gain, entire gunlance skillset, good amount of GS skills, hammer's charges, traps. And in the result the combat kinda stops working in fights where enemies use a lot of "neutral" moves. I would've preferred if HtH was more like a bonus rather than the whole focus of combat.
>>724692340This is fine. You get them in different regions, so there is no situations where you can't tell what monster you're going to get from an egg.
>>724636049Kamura armor my beloved
>>724676984I just hope so much we'll actually get primordial malzeno and not the infected one since I think bothe the monster and armor genuinely looks cooler
>>724692340>finalists for the worst elder competition
>>724692340No difference?
>>724676327With things like this I sometimes wonder if the rise team really wanted to add or imply rider stuff in the game and expansion at some point in development
>>7246811462000000000000000000x more soul than wilds holy shit
>>724695943I love the chibi style of the first game.
>>724666201What if I’m a man who wants to wear cute armors? Legends ZA has proven that this is a large demographic in Japan.
>>724695943cute!!!
>>724695943I'm gonna miss Reverto so much
>>724668856She's angel.
>>724681146Soulful.
Whats the point of making the Rudy side story paid DLC
>>724679752MHP6 would be good as Takaichi Snaae became the new PM. Not a feminist scum who banned bikinis from Japanese console game like Ishiva Shigeru.
>>724699552For Swimsuit dlc later, maybe? As Princess gets revealing costumes already.
>>724681146Yup, I am convinced that the MHS devs are throwing jabs to mainline now.
>>724629707Is it a monstie?
>>724701430We can only hope there'll be a monstie version, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. Agnaktor was a boss in both other games but wasn't available as a monstie. In 2 it apparently got cut with a bunch of other stuff like coral pukei pukei and the hermitaurs because of time constraints
>>724629410>$70 for a spinoff pokemon-likeare Capcom ok?
>>724701637Pokemon wishes their games were as good as MHStories.
>>724701637Black/White was the last time Pokemon was not putrid shit.
>>724701637The standard is 70 now, it has been like that 2 years at least.
>>724701637They want to make Stories 3 a proper JRPG instead of a silly spin off with reused assets
>>724701637ZA was $90.
>>724638376Not quite, 2 explicitly mentions there was a time skip between the first and second games.
>>724681146>princess who can cookbut this is illegal in anime
>>724629410How Hunters feel about this?
>>724681146I dont like it, it lacks all the charm from the older games, it must be a cat cooking not a random anime gacha girl.
>>724629410Played one of these, played them all. Based Yama though.
>>724704406jealous
>>724693519Looks like an alien with fetal alcohol syndrome.
>>724683663Are people actually unironically attracted to this boyish looking gremlin? When there are at least two better looking females in this game?
>>724704565>cat cookinggrossCats leave fur everywhere they touch
>>724629410Yay more dogshit.
>>724629669Yes, but bad.
>>724704565Still better than wilds self cooking rations (but I admit the food does look good, very good use of resources that could have gotten into optimization) or food cooked by a group of ugly as fuck primitives that even eat with their hands.
>>724666118Didn't she become a vtuber?
>>724667736Probably a young adult like rise's twins
>>724672896She is a bunch of bones now lol
>>724681146Is that a WOMAN cooking in the KITCHEN to serve ME (male)??? Trannies are NOT going to like THIS!
>>724706287Are women cooking offensive now?
>>724706232So's >>724666118
