oh so there are females? i guess they aren't all male??

if mainline wants to have their precious fucking leviathans why do they keep making these retarded elevated/uneven/cramped maps?

leviathans are in the game because they weren't universally shit on and retarded map design is in the games because they weren't shat on enough and if two things from other games that they absolutely needed to keep for no reason clash it doesn't matter because being able to say "remember that? remember when the games were good?" is more important than making a coherent product

seriously wondering what kind of brain damage one must be suffering from to enjoy big flat arena terrains the way GU and Rise do it, in a videogame with 3D gameplay. The only other 3D gameplay game i can think of that’s as boring and retardant as this is God Eater

if only there was some sort of middle ground between sloped dark corridors and huge featureless plains

>>569214791
they are smart not to tease anything early desu
as retarded as they are, they at least know wilds G have to sell off hype regardless of how good or bad it is so early tease will create a time gap for normal people (not brainless retards) to revaluate and think. that's bad for business
I believe the dlc will be Available Now right at end of the game show or at least very shortly after (1 week max)

Rise uses the same models and animations from World for returning monsters so they're the same quality and on the same engine, right? So there shouldn't be any issues putting Rise monsters back in World?

At this point they should just backport all Rise monsters they can, adjust them for the lack of Silk gimmick and release that as a DLC or whatever.

>>569246046
being punished for picking fights in the wrong area would be kino if you could influence where the monster is going, people used to put up ropes with bright cloth so the animal wouldn't go through there and redirect it that way
as it is now the entire map feels like those play mazes they used to have in restaurants interspersed with escalator rides and the tilted arc installation that used to fuck up a plaza in manhattan

what the fuck else are you supposed to call terrain that makes it objectively harder to fight? the monster doesn't give a shit about slopes but if you for example charge you hammer on a slope you can only attack downwards which restricts what openings you can abuse and what moves you can use. that's a punishment, whether you are a 1337 gamer who can compensate or not

Jargak, the Guild Weapon, tracked a ghoul through the ruins beyond the marsh. Moonlight flashed on his blade as the creature sprang from the shadows. They clashed among broken stones, steel ringing against claw and bone. Jargak struck true, but the ghoul’s black talons pierced his side. With fading strength, he drove his sword through the monster’s heart. The ghoul fell first. As dawn painted the sky, Jargak sank to one knee, victorious yet mortally wounded, and smiled at the coming light.

Queen Aira rode alone into the mountain pass where a gargoyle had terrorized travelers for years. At dusk, the stone beast unfurled its wings and descended with a roar. Aira met it with spear and shield, driving it back across the cliffs. The battle raged until the gargoyle's claws tore through her armor. Bleeding but unbroken, she leapt forward and plunged her spear into its chest. The creature shattered upon the rocks. As the wind carried away the dust, Aira gazed over her kingdom one last time before darkness claimed her.

Ayako the Librarian carried no grand title, only a satchel of notes and a silver dagger etched with forgotten runes. She followed the mournful cries of a banshee into the abandoned halls beneath an ancient monastery. The spirit emerged in a whirl of pale mist, its scream shaking stone from the ceiling. Ayako recited the words she had spent years uncovering, weakening the specter, but the banshee's wail struck her heart like ice. With her final strength, she drove the dagger into the spirit's core. The banshee dissolved into silence. Surrounded by scattered pages, Ayako smiled, knowing her knowledge had saved others from the same fate.

The sky above Eldermere burned green as the Dark Lord of the Ghouls marched on the capital with an army of shadows. From the shattered gates rode Hunter King Doj, clad in dented silver armor and carrying the Sunfang Spear, the last weapon said to wound the undead king.
Citizens watched from the walls as Doj cut through waves of ghouls, each strike flashing like lightning. Yet for every monster that fell, two more clawed their way from the earth. At the center of the battlefield stood the Dark Lord, a towering figure wrapped in black mist, his eyes glowing like dying stars.

Their duel shook the kingdom. The Dark Lord's blade split stone; Doj's spear split darkness itself. At last, Doj remembered the ancient prophecy: only a living heart could awaken Sunfang's true power.

Knowing the cost, he drove the spear through his own chest and into the Dark Lord's. Golden fire erupted across the field. The ghoul army turned to ash. The black mist vanished. Dawn broke for the first time in weeks.

The kingdom was saved.

When the people reached the battlefield, they found Doj smiling beneath the morning sun. His sacrifice became legend, and every year the bells of Eldermere rang at dawn, honoring the king who gave his life so his people could live.

Why would they need to brainstorm how to 'salvage' wilds? It was a massive success thanks to the story and characters and it made Capcom's stock price surge so high that they immediately promoted Ryozo for it. If I were him I would double down and Cook more of the same since it was so overwhelmingly successful the first time.

In your eyes, what's the quintessential Monster Hunter game, /mhg/?

The game that embodies the true essence of the franchise the most?

>>569254576
World before the Lunastra update that added temporal mantle and also dumbed down the tempered monster investigation system.

It could have had a better economy balance too but compared to everything else in the series, it was still the peak of the franchise.

>>569254576
portable 3rd

>>569253251
are you retarded? sales only boomed within the first week of launch. 8 million within the first 3 days, and then tapered the fuck off into 10 million total within the past year.

if anything, milds' success was achieved solely off WORLD'S reputation. as with all video games these days, a game selling WELL usually means the prequel has built enough goodwill to allow the sequel to do so.

so it wont happen again, trust me. watch milds G sell for 3mil lifetime MAX. and then watch 7th gen fall off a cliff because milds just left such a bad taste in everyone's mouths. it'll take until 8th gen for Capcom to realized how badly milds fucked things up and they fix it.

this is coming from someone who fucking hates worldborne because of clutch claw btw.

>>569254576

Any post-dos pre-GU, honestly. The IP had its peak run between F2 - 4U.

The franchise lost its SOVL when they decided to speed up the classic methodical combat and give every weapon OP i-framed/hyper-armoured counters in World. We're just playing Monster Fighter May Cry atp. Its not Monster HUNTER anymore.

All the gimmicky bullshit like secret arts, clutch claw, wirebugs, chocobos, tenderisation etc have only bastardised the IP beyond recognition even further.

well you know how when you're fighting glaiveanus in the dune map in morldborne and it keeps trying to slam you with its tail but it misses all the time because the terrain in sloped like ass?
its not super engaging because you dont put in any effort to dodge the attacks and even sometimes when you dont dodge and it should have hit you but tail hitbox is so tight it stops over a foot over your head
that's why flat arenas make the game more engaging to play since you're actually interacting with the moveset of the monster the way they're meant to be designed

MASTERLINKX, a villain with a notorious reputation, arrived in Japan believing he could outrun the consequences of his actions. After boasting recklessly at a tavern inspired by monster-hunting legends, he slipped into a narrow alley under the neon glow. There, waiting officers and investigators stepped from the shadows. The evidence was overwhelming, the arrest swift, and justice immediate. By dawn, MASTERLINKX’s schemes were over, and the city moved on in peace.

During Pride Month, Aiteann, a redheaded gay man, was targeted in a hateful attack by a black man named Darius. The assault rattled the neighborhood, and anger spread quickly among Aiteann’s friends. Some talked of revenge, but cooler heads prevailed. The group gathered security footage, tracked down witnesses, and worked with police to build a strong case. Within days, Darius was arrested and charged. When justice was served in court, Aiteann's friends realized that standing together had accomplished far more than vengeance ever could.

This is unironically the tamest general I'm in. The only mental illness is the pointless "my game vs your game" posts that can be boiled down to console wars probably idk they're easily recognizable and skippable.
It's also one of the few that actually play games together which is nice. And I don't mean the wilds lobby stuff even, just in general if you post about an older game there'll be people who are ready to hop into it and it's fun

>>569278401
>This is unironically the tamest general I'm in
I genuinely don't believe that for a second. I've been a regular in other generals that at the time I considered miserable but compared to what this general's turned into within the last year or so those places are tame
This general is bordering on unusable because there's dedicated shitposters who lurk almost 24/7 and are actively hostile to actual on topic posting

>>569278401
>the pointless "my game vs your game" posts that can be boiled down to console wars
Every game in the series is a totally different experience. How is it pointless? A potential new player is not gonna enjoy all of the games so it's a never ending discussion

>>569278663
I mean just saying I also look at /coopg/ sometimes for DRG and Darktide news and they literally have "debates" about things for 8 hours where two schizos start out with something like
>I think it would be better if this weapon had more damage
>I'm using that weapon just fine, try this build
>your build is shit and you belong on the lowest difficulty, kill yourself
then it just devolves into literally 8 hours of people posting things like this at eachother:
>I just raped you with facts and logic. You really think you can stand up to me? You're not smart enough.
>Your izzat won't allow you to admit this, but I just raped your mouth.
>You wish, as you were typing this I was sending a stream of piss through your throat.
>You don't have to type up your gay fantasies just because you drank my cum just now.

Like I'm not sure I'm getting this across properly but their arguments devolve, in a meta way, into them just insisting to eachother that THEY won actually. It's not even about the game anymore they'll just post what amounts to gay rape erotica at eachother. And the 8 hour thing isn't an exaggeration. I've seen things like this go on for literally 20+ hours across multiple threads

And as I said that's one of the tamer ones. Then you look at things like old /dsg/ and it's just a tranny cesspool, half of which are in /erg/ now

I'm glad we all agree that this thread needs to go
forever

>>569317908

Does anyone here play arknights? They have another collab running with them right now

>>569318161
It ran great after the upgrade. Dragons Dogma 2 still ran like shit though. Capcom needs to kill whoever they have in charge of the PC ports.

Qrd on stamina thief should i save any talismans with it

>>569316418
don't upgrade because of wilds
waste of money

>>569327493
trash

When you deal Stun/KO damage outside of the head area you deal stamina damage instead and when its fully depleted the monster goes in full tard drool mode.
Could be useful in an alternate reality

stun (only applies to head) and exhaust (only applies to rest of the body) are FREE* statuses dealt by every attack on hammer, most attacks on hunting horn, and some attacks on other weapons
the values are close to but not directly related to the mv
slugger increases stun "damage" and stamina thief increases exhaust "damage"
like other statuses it's literally never worth using because they only speed up the first couple procs and never gives an extra proc within the time you should normally be able to clear a quest
exhaust is notably bad in wilds because agitator uptimes are consistently high without exhaust (and sleep) fucking things up
the funniest anti-meta thing you can do is sleep hammer but only hit the body

Do follower quest monsters have less health?
