Monster Hunter Generations

Post huntresses.

Need HH recommendations

Go with the one with highest raw and most green.

How do you unlock minds eye oil?

Tell me Sup Forums, how are the HeavtBowgun and SnS in this new game?

Anything good before Akantor?

SnS is apparently one of the best this time around. I think people roll striker with it? But what the fuck do I know.

I prefer guild even though I know striker is probably better. SnS is most certainly new and improved though, and I think of Ainsley every time I oil up.

This will probably be the first MH I don't do all of the village quests in. Way too many gathering/slay x little monster quests. But the game is very fun, I hope they flesh out styles more in MH5

Are cute sweethearts ok too?

Still better than Tri / 3U in terms of required gathering bullshit, that opening / tutorial segment is cancer.

Longsword good for a new player?

I'm a MH babby, I only played 4U and I never really touched ranged weapons beyond the bow a bit, so I'm not sure what all has changed, but the HBG in Generations is really fun, if you ask me.

No, it will keep tripping other hunters online. Steer clear.

tippity top tier taste

I'd say Switch Axe, Dual Blade, or SnS would be good for beginners. Perhaps GreatSword, but it can be a tough weapon to learn when you are still figuring out spacing and monster movesets. Hammer is simple, but to use it effectively you really need to be hitting the monster's head, which means it can be a bit tough to get good with, until you are more comfortable actually hitting a specific part of a monster, rather than just hitting wherever you can

Literally any melee weapon is good for a new player. Insect Glaive has a few other backwards systems so probably stay clear of that so you can focus on the core mechanics / menu stuff, but at that point every weapon left is fairly easy to learn.

>Try Adept Dual Blades because those seem like they would work well together
>It absolutely does and I'm never not in a monster's face
>Knock it over and activate Wolf's Maw
>Go from fully sharpened to red in under 15 seconds

I am the edgiest blender and I love it.

How is his gear Sup Forums?

Is it any good?

Don't use it online until you memorize attack ranges; it will trip other players and lower the teams damage output. Good beginner weapons are Sword and Shield, Lance, maybe Greatsword, and the Switchaxe. The first 3 have guards while the last 3 have great ranges. The SnS can also let you use items while the weapon is unsheathed which may save you a few times.
When you do go online be courteous, don't attack the head if their is a hammer user, and please don't attack sleeping monsters

>mfw stamina oil
I hope there's more oils down the line because this shit is dope. If they remove them for the next game I'll be a bit upset

Looks stupid on females, if you like cold res its ok I guess?

Never considered the switch axe, I figured it was similar to the greatsword

It's way different.

that fucking pic, I was about to go request it in a drawthread

Completely new to the series, I got a little frustrated starting out because there's no tutorial and I just need to read help documents and the text in this game makes my eyes hurt.

Is there any way to optimize the camera controls? I went on the first mission, had to fight some veliciraptor thing, and the fight was nothing but a constant struggle to have him stay on the screen

What's a good great sword in the beginning? Currently at 3 star village quests and running with tetsu armor

>Using CB
>Have 5 phials stocked and red shield
>Monster is sleeping
>Some assfuck SnS user gives it a lovetap in the legs while I'm getting in position

The worst shit

Swaxe is a nice fun versatile hack slash weapon, there are very few ways to use it wrong, assuming you're using sword mode as much as possible. GS is very slow and doing actual damage really relies on landing the major strikes that can tough for a beginner to land.

You should have a panel on the bottom screen with the monster's icon, tap that icon and it makes it so whenever you press L the camera focuses on that monster

This is the easiest way to manage the camera for the most part, you'll probably want a n3DS or circle pad pro if you want more precise control than that without clawing the virtual d-pad

It depends on your nintendo. A N3DS has ZR and ZL buttons which you can set to horizontal camera movement and makes everything so much better by going to pause>options and pressing ZR/ZL control settings to type 2

you can also set it so that tapping the L button turns your camera to the monster, you can control the whole camera with a Dpad on the screen which can make control a lot easier

The first two ranks are always the worst, but it's necessary to build up your item supply and get you accustomed to the game. Don't give up

can't be bothered to find out how to screenshot.

Also, the niblesnarf is the most anti-fun monster, fuck him and his constant area switching

Why is everyone in kokoto such a dick?

Yukumo a best

If you have an OG 3ds, I can't recommend the circle pad pro enough, user. If you're having trouble just keeping the monster on screen, imagine how annoying using an aiming reticule would be without a second analog stick... It changed my life. HBG for life now.

>Just got the game
>Realize that it's locked 30 FPS

4U had more FPS than this REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Did you cuss him out in chat afterward? bitches gotta learn somehow.

It's a handheld man, if you want good fps get a pc and emulate mh.

Oh nice, yeah I thought it required long charge attacks like the GS

>help someone kill nakarkos
>dont help me and just leave after ranking up
goddamnit not this shit again.

It has one move that is a big charged up explosion, but you're probably fine using that mostly when the monster is stunned or trapped or down anyway. Most of the time you're just hacking with the axe to build up power, then switching to the sword to do more damage until you run out of power. Mastering it means you are able to switch strategically between the weapon shapes mid-combo and manage your charge while also avoiding damage and utilizing your charge shot. It was the first weapon I mained in monster hunter, so much so I'm actually tired of it and may not touch it again this time around...

>looks stupid on females
Abhorrent taste, don't talk to me or my silly hat ever again.

there's a special place in hell for that one, don't worry.

>some unlocks their urgent and posts it
>promises he'll continue to help us with our keys afterwards
>he actually sticks around helps all three of us rank up

But how are the weapons?

The armor looks adorable

>can recover NUTs by resting at the bed in areas, effectively making them unable to cart ever
>does ludicrous damage with piercing boomerang and big boomerang/mega boomerang
>infinite bug nets/mining picks
>infinite tranq and dung bombs
>can see the monster wherever it is

Why aren't you playing prowler?

There's not a single other being that you'll find in this life.
That could be considered cuter than the Meowstress, my wife!!

i get kicked everytime i join as my boomerang cat named Boomerang

I think you meant to say Pokke.

Because I find sitting in a single place for the entire hunt throwing boomerangs boring as sin

feet

This. I wholeheartedly appreciate how much they improve and simplify gathering and simpler quests, but if I'm fighting monsters, I'm bringing fucking heavy weaponry.

What's the best skills and bias for prowler?

Also, how do I into lance? I've always wanted to learn how to use it.

>fighting bias with pierce boom
>must have big boom as sub skill
>boomerang pro is must,crit up L, crit up s and earplugs are top
teach him emergency escape from a support cat and last stand from anyone who has it

Skills and biases are gonna dictate what you are using the prowler for... so don't bring a gathering prowler with gathering skills on a monster hunt.

As for how to lance, just get comfortable with movement and blocking. Pretty much all you do is poke poke poke, with occasional shield bashes to the monster's face if you can. As I see it, Lance is about staying near the monster, keeping up a constant poking assault, you've got little dodge hops you can use to move around, and if things get dicey, a shield to protect you. Then if the monster hops away from you, you have a sprint move that you can use to chase and then either do a jumping attack, or a superstab attack. Lance is great, it just takes some getting used to because it's a bit hard to maneuver with compared to some of the other melee weapons. Just remember it works essentially in a one two three rhythm, so you can poke dodge dodge, poke dodge poke, that kinda thing.

>do the abyssal shroom quest where glavvy is in your face
>have full malfestio with Vulcanis
>about to kill him with a minute left, planned on using farcaster for quick mission completion with mighty bount from glavvy
>he does the bullshit tail mouth grind swipe and carts me

Do cats get more memory as they level up?

yes, up to 8 ( so i heared im only level16 right now)

Any rooms?

>Finally meet Gammoth on the Popo Tongue Quest
>The size of the mother fuck is much more bigger than I thought he would be
>His Music starts playing
>The urge to hunt him increases 10x folds
At first when I saw him in trailers I thought he was just a shitty Popodrome, but now meeting him. Holy fuck he's awesome.

Glavenus gunner armor has Grinder. The description says it makes your weapon sharp when you use a whetstone. So I can sharpen my bow? What

Is the gunlance any good, or should I just stick to normal lance?

first time with the MH franchise even tough I wanted to get into it long ago but never had time.
Is there a particular way I should be doing quests and tracking my progress?
I'm focusing on doing 2star village quests before doing 1star academy quests. Am I doing it right or should it be the other way around, focusing more on HR before village stuff

It doesn't matter really. If you want to play by yourself, do the village quests. If you want to play online with others, do the guild quests.

The academy quests are meant for multiplayer so the monsters will have higher hp. It's better to do the village quests if you're solo but feel free to do the academy quests

>game shows you where you were when the monster dies
>can't see shit because of the reward boxes
what's even the point

I feel you user. I didn't care for him much until the intro cutscene from the demo.

>effortlessly throws tigrex off his back
>looks at him like "Bring it on manlet"
>this cool ass music plays as they begin to fight

Mfw that music turned out to be his theme. He is by far the best Elite Four monster.

They're pretty different. I like both a lot. GunLance is a bit "tankier" than lance, you can't do the triple dodge hops, only single side or back hops. It has heavier hitting attacks though. Who doesn't like making a monster's face blow up?

High rank turns (HR4 and above)

13-8169-8451-8958

Finally got to the flagship monsters in village quests. Are their armors/weapons any good?
They all look so good but I need functionality too

Hellblade Dinovoldo's weapons are the best in the game. Period.

>set trap
>monster immediately changes area

Goddamnit capcom, remove this line of code already, reeeeeeeeeeee

Typically, you post it to Miiverse and download the picture from that.

Yo guys whats the jaggi/bdrome armor combo for attack up L early?

Bulldrome Cap (the Gunner one, not the Blademaster)
Jaggi Chest
Bulldrome Arms
Jaggi Waist
Bulldrome Legs

You'll need 4 Attack gems too.

Have you ever had a monster leave just as you were placing a trap, then chased it to the area it ran to, then had it immediately run away again back to the area you placed the trap? This happened to me once the other day, and I thought it was very strange, as grateful as I was.

That ending sure was something.

Thanks coach.

How did you guys get your Butterfly Beetles?
I've been farming from the Moga Bee Yard for a good 20 quests now and I haven't gotten a single one, but plenty of Great Hornfly. I need at least four.

>no unique monsters

Really? You're going to say not one unique monster? Hr3

I really wasn't expecting that song and dance either

FEET

...

>Monster fucks off to a different area
>Chase after it
>Hit it a few times
>It fucks off back to the first area again
>Chase after it again
>Hit it twice
>It fucks off to the second area again
>Chase after it
>It's already running to a different area as I get there

That sounds erotic.

>low rank village
>hellblade dino
Gee user you should try gemming out -10 reading comprehension sometime

played the demo it was alright not sure if I'm gonna get the full game yet, I feel like the duel wielder should move a little faster

If I pirate this, can I still play local with my friends?

I agree. She's very cute, but fuck off she's not your wife.

That's mean

Who are you to define love? gb2 reddit, normalslime

It can't be helped. I'm a victim of circumstance.

I always get distracted whenever someone in Teo armor comes in because all I can think of is that image, it makes things very hard for me.

...

Best hat.

This is why you never let a woman lead the hunt.

Just got the game, I downloaded all the dlc but it doesn't seem to show up in-game unless I'm missing something.

For example the downloadable guild card stuff don't show up. like some of the titles and backgrounds

>Not even a scratch
>In game hunters explode the face off everyone monster

Did you talk to the cat in your room to claim your prizes?
