When is Worlds getting announced for the Switch?

Early 2018

When they make the monster world portable G version.

Early 2020

I admire your determination, OP

when are they going to show more MHW gameplay?

Gamescom, in a few weeks. They're gonna have playable demos there, fingers crossed they release a demo for the general public shortly thereafter but I doubt that's gonna happen, anytime soon anyway.

Oh I get it, we got ourselves a couple of clowns here. Detention, both of ya

God.

I want to see more of it. I'm planning on getting a PS4 on black friday this year because all of my hunting friends are getting MHW.

Yeah I really do wonder what the normies think of this one, though. All my MonHun friends can't wait another second and are dying for more info, so the teasing that's been going on for the past 2 months or so with the new footage being drip fed is like two months of blue balling.

Hope the game doesn't flop so that we get more monhun on actual consoles

MH needs more Lovecraftian horrors

Does it though? I feel like the biggest draw the series has is that you always defeat the monstrosities, which really goes against the lovecraftian theme of some great cosmic threat that you can't fight against, and can barely comprehend.

Hunters just don't give a fuck
If it can bleed, it can die

Not fatalis senpai

I'm fine with monhun on any console, I just want to see more of it. They've hardly shown any gameplay, and the gameplay they have shown has sort of been meh so far. I want to see some other new monsters besides the T-Rex from Jurassic Park. I'm really hoping we get tons of monster variety, especially since this game is being built for consoles rather than pure handhelds. Some of my normalfag friends are actually pretty hyped for the game, they've been asking me about monhun whenever we go out drinking, so hopefully that's a good sign.

only Capcom can create this unique feeling of hype and worry.

>great cosmic threat that you can't fight against

because every human in the HP lovecraftian story are either pussy scientist or british cucks. Real man fight cosmic horror monsters with manly shit like will power and big swords.

I really like the new gameplay, I've enjoyed most of the new moves, and I honestly don't even mind the sound design as much as most people do. I hope that they reveal more but at the same time I really hope they keep their cards close to their chest, I like being surprised, if they show off maybe 3-4 more monsters out of a roster of 40, I'll be very very happy.

who /mantis/ here?

>What is your favorite weapon
Gunlance
MH4U is my first MH. How the fuck can I get mega potions faster? I'm tired of doing tours and coming out with 4 at best.

I'll base this around Gen because that's my last played game

>What is your favorite weapon?
SnS, Lance, Hammer, GS in that order
>Who's your rival monster?
Grimclaw
>What's your favorite Elder Dragon?
Nakarkos, his fight is kinda shitty but i love everything else about him
>What's your favorite game roster?
3U
>What monsters do you hope will return for MonHun World?
I care more about first and second gen fucking off forever, i've hunted them a million times and i'm getting really fucking sick/bored of them hombre.
But i prefer third gen, some 4th, and new designs and monster models of course
>What's your Palico's name?
teach

yeah, it would be great if they just showed 2-3 hunts in a row, to demonstrate the new monsters.

Do we know if World is going to be a G-rank game or not yet?

I can't decide if that looks stupid or fucking awesome

Well, the Monster Hunter is probably one of the most powerful entities in gaming, considering the fact that he can fall from any distance without taking any damage and literally never, ever die. He can also, with the power of Felyne Moxie, not die from ANY single attack, no matter how powerful. So he could pretty much survive the big bang itself if it's "one attack".

Use the insect farm to get a shitload of honey, and just combine honey with potions.

We don't, but I kind of doubt it will be, considering the first game of every new generation is HR only.
Having said that, I really hope that they introduce G rank as DLC, rather than a new game to buy. That way, you'll not only pay less for it, but you might even get it sooner.

you kinda forget the monster hunters lived in a world where there are magic potions that can help you adapt either cold or hot environment. But yeah healing potion has to be one broken shit if it ever exist in real life.

Why Sup Forums aren't designing a weapon together?

Not to mention
>Jumps away from an attack like a moron
>Becomes ethereal and avoids taking any damage
I really do love the concept of i-frames

>I can't decide if that looks stupid or fucking awesome

That thing is a reference to egyptian and the mantis has the power to weave golden webs of strings. Not to mention use it to control the objects around him, forming a mecha like weapons of destruction and protect him from harm. Now THAT is awesome.

that exist in dark souls as well.

Cause we haven't finished deciding on the best weapon

Which is the Greatsword

>What is your favorite weapon?
HAMMER BAYBEEEEE!
>Who's your rival monster?
Tigrex. I've hunted that motherfucker to extinction.
>What's your favorite Elder Dragon?
Chameleos, if only for the music.
>What's your favorite game roster?
If I could, I'd take all 4th and 3rd generation monsters and put them together into one tasty roster soup
>What monsters do you hope will return for MonHun World?
The big 3: Zinogre, Nargacuga, Brachydios
>What's your Palico's name?
Foxy

Yeah but in dark souls the i-frames are like, what, a half a second at most? Superman dives are a solid 2 seconds of invincibility.

Shit that sounds cool, actually. I love insect monsters, they're probably my favorite monster type.

That's a solid game mechanic though. I'll give up realism for an evasion move that's required to dodge some attacks.

Watching my friends fuck the one from dalamandur 'cause they didn't play much Unite was pretty funny.

Oh absolutely. Superman dives also give the devs more creative freedom when designing monster moves, because you can effectively dodge everything unless your timing is way off. It's a nice trade off, you have to sheathe your weapon which can be annoying, but in turn you get to not die!

Would Sup Forums play an 80's cartoon/movie/toy schlock fantasy style Monster Hunter Game?

and guess what, he is the last boss of monster hunter xx. No fucking Elder Dragon, no giant monkey or giant oversize snake, JUST. INSECT.

youtube.com/watch?v=fptRKPiN0ZY

sadly MHXX will never getting western release

Sadly, I don't think it'll be required much at all in World. I won't mind if it still exists though, so I can panic dive off ledges for funsies.

>What is your favorite weapon?
IG then SnS then GS then Bow
>Who's your rival monster?
Anything with 0 frame startup instacharge
>What's your favorite Elder Dragon?
I dunno, maybe amatsu
>What's your favorite game roster?
One without gen 1 cancer, if only such a game was a thing
>What monsters do you hope will return for MonHun World?
Mizutsune and narga for sure. Gore too for the sweet looking armor
>What's your Palico's name?
Chomusuke

I love elder dragons though, I appreciate that they're not a homogenous group but a classification for any monster that can royally fuck shit up.

Still, that's really cool. I wouldn't lose faith for MHXX in the west, I reckon it'll come sometime in 2018

What makes you think that? Have you seen rathalos in MHW? It alone looks a lot more dangerous than the normal rathalos, and the superman dive is next to mandatory to avoid its stupid SWOOP IN -> POISON TALONS attack

>What is your favorite weapon?
GS for life
>Who's your rival monster?
Savage Deviljho
>What's your favorite Elder Dragon?
Teostra/White Fatalis
>What's your favorite game roster?
I accept everything. Not 3U though.
>What monsters do you hope will return for MonHun World?
I know that my favorite mosters will probably be in, so I don't care desu
>What's your Palico's name?
Always different.

I'm kind of fed up with 80's stuff, and one thing that I like about the franchise is that while it's kind of goofy and dumb at times, it's very sincere. I wouldn't really enjoy monster hunter as much if most of its humor was "ironic humor".

>Spent a ungodly amount of time with friends playing Monster Hunter 3/4U/G on 3DS
>Have to now deal with playing with them at each of our homes
I mean I'm happy I don't have to deal with 3DS Monster Hunter but not having a Switch Monster Hunter game to play is bullshit.

>Gen/XX has anime attacks
>everybody complains
>World has anime attacks
>nobody bats an eye
The double standard is real

This is pretty good, I thought everything frontier touches turns to shit. What monster do you fight with this theme?

This guy looks disappointingly easy

There is nothing anime about xx or world

First of all, I've seen PLENTY of people complain about the anime attacks. Like, lots. So that right there is why your statement is wrong.

Second, I don't mind an anime move as long as it's fitting for the weapon's playstyle and isn't too broken. A good example is how the switch axe is now a kind of grappling weapon, and the longsword gets some ultra anime looking attack in turn.

Again, as long as the attacks aren't too strong, there aren't too many of them, and their aesthetic fits their weapon, I'm okay with it.

you should give him credits for tried his best by using human weapon against the hunters he fought. Hunters are just too good.

G-rank will available for purchase at the low, low price of $19.99 six months after release (12 months for the West)

id play the fuck out of a Masters of the Universe mohun. Mohun is mechanically great, but never liked much else of what it had going on

I don't think they're the same people.

Anyway, Mohuns always been anime, none of this shit makes sense. Tri got closer to a realer mohun, but 3U just went back to sillyness.

Unironically cheaper than buying a whole game, sign me up.

>What is your favorite weapon?
Switch Axe

Najarala & Seltas Duo

Shield

Did any other HH users notice in the MHW trailer he gave the other Hunter WhiteWhite buff? Maybe movespeedup and NoBounce are party wide now?

this is sarcasm but it would be legitimately better than the previous system of buying an entire new game with all pre G-rank content remaining mostly the same

will he return?

>What is your favorite weapon?
Charge Blade
>Who's your rival monster?
Brachydios
>What's your favorite Elder Dragon?
Shah Dalamadur
>What's your favorite game roster?
4U

Brachy, and any SOTC-like fights such as Dala or the mohrans
>What's your Palico's name?
Lucious

does anyone like underwater battle from MH3?

Just a reminder that the XX demo comes out on the Switch on August 10th

You can still download the demo, just make a JP account

artfag here

Totally down to draft this if you chucklefucks can come up with something good before I do. Off the top of my head, these would probably be best to work with
>Insect Glaive
>Charge Blade
>Hunting Horn

They lend themselves to more unique/gimmicky designs

Chargeblade?

You could ask anons about shield design, axe design, sword design. I'd like to see one with a circle shield.

>What is your favorite weapon?
HBG all day every day.
>Who's your rival monster?
Deviljho, I hate that limey fuck.
>What's your favorite Elder Dragon?
Teostra.
>What's your favorite game roster?
4U was pretty sweet.
>What monsters do you hope will return for MonHun World?
Brachy and Zinogre, for sure.
>What's your Palico's name?
I never use cats

So cheaper than what we usually pay? Fine with me.

I don't think you can show the weapon design to the public or it gets disqualified

Don't worry, I nailed it on my first try

>What is your favorite weapon?
Charge Blade (4U), Bow (Gen), Greatsword (all other titles)
>Who's your rival monster?
I legitimately dislike everything about Gammoth, outside of armor design
>What's your favorite Elder Dragon?
Shagaru Magala
>What's your favorite game roster?
4U (blame Seltas Queen)
>What monsters do you hope will return for MonHun World?
Seltas Queen
>What's your Palico's name?
[/spoiler]Healzebub

What weapons should I try out if I'm a hammer and sometimes greatsword main?

>Hammer, then switch axe
>Nargacuga is my favorite
>Dalamadur
>probably mhfu or 4u
>I hope for narga, tigrex, and brachy at least
>Stacey is my go to name for them.

>Switch Axe
>Charge Blade
>Bow
or if you need something to ease you into it
>Long Sword
>Sword and Shield

If you're dead set on sticking to the aesthetic, Hunting Horn has a similar hit and roll playstyle, with the added twist of playing music, doing less damage, having slower attacks, and being loved

>anything with tentacles in fiction
>DUDE
>LOVECRAFT
>LOL

I would say hunting horn, but its an acquired taste to say the least. I main hammer and personally really enjoy Switch axe, I'd also say charge blade.

>Nargacuga
Mah nigga. That fucking bitch ass monster.

Wheres a good place to start with Monster Hunter? I have never played an MH game and these threads make me very interested.

I've been thinking about hunting horn, since it's sort of it's own beast. I guess i'll try it out when MHW launches.

If you use hammer, the concept is still there (aim for the head), its just got a difference for like what combo's you need for buffs and what not. The only other thing is hammer is pretty much better all around when solo hunting.

I would say MH Portable 3rd. It made me get into the whole MH serie. Tho I didnt play much the other MH that came afterward, I couldnt play more MH on a handheld.

Nah Narga's my jam my guy, I also liked its design and its hunt was common for me since the weapons were really good.

>main
HBG and SnS are my most consistent weapons throughout all the games since Freedom 1
>rival
I'd say Tigrex but it was ruined since Portable Turd so Brachydios for giving me the same feeling as fighting Tigrex, Brachydios is the proper gen 3 Tigrex we never got
>Elder Dragon
Chameleos and Fatty are tied solely because of their gen 4 reworks turned them from awful fights into fantastic ones while not sacrificing their character
>game roster
unironically Tri because the roster was nothing but unique and new monsters (plus a white Nargacuga) and almost got a Lao Shan Lung-like monster done correctly
>hope will return
Fatalis and Diablos are the only monsters that deserve to return because of their significance to the franchise. Everything else should be entirely new, if concept art monsters count then I guess pic related
>Palico's name
can't remember, I drop them from the start in every title because they are awful

I hunted like a million times. Because it didn't drop the marrow that I needed. Man, I'm still having a hard time to choose what weapon I will main in MHW

I think monster hunter 3 or 4 ultimate are probably good starting points. Although you'll need a 3ds, if you don't have that I'd say play mh3 on dolphin.

3U or 4U is my suggestion

Thank you all very much, I will pick up 3U, I have a 3ds so I am ready!

I remember the "narga brainstem" that was the absolute worst drop.

I mained hammer in every game but 4 ultimate (CB) and mhfu (GS), so I plan on going to my roots and picking up hammer again

Yea, I'm thinking also to go pick up my Switch Axe. But I always wanted to try Bow. But couldnt do it because of the handheld controller.

be sure to get the circle pad pro

Yeah the handhelds were not generous to the series. Like I didn't hate the games by any means they were all great, but I just couldn't keep playing them for long periods of time.

But I can see that the bows and bowguns look super dope in MHW, I may look into them as well.

I've never played the series, but I'm excited to try MH World. Anything I should know before I jump in?

And has anyone tried the weapon creation contest?

Same here, the screen is too small, the controls sucks ass, the camera is all over the place, you get the fucking claw grip syndrome after a while. So I'm fucking happy and hype for a MH on a proper console/PC. Hell, I might pick up both version.

Patience, do you have it?

I dont know much about a "weapon creation contest" but I guess the main thing is monster is a good game for grinding and learning interactions. A lot of the hunting is learning the monsters, what the do, how they attack, where they go, etc. Realistically theres gonna be trouble but once the game *clicks* it makes a bunch of sense.

Yeah I'm tempted to get both, I definitely want the PC version but if its a long wait I may get the ps4 version as well.

Yea, at later date they say. But right now, it could mean at the end of 2018, and I aint gonna wait that long. Day 1 purchase, preloading and taking a day or two off from work.

I'm getting both. PS4 since my friend and I want to play this as soon as possible, and PC since other friends are willing to wait for PC and I want to play at a higher framerate. My friend doesn't even have a PS4 yet, but she's getting one just for MH since we both love the series so much.

>What is your favorite weapon?
Swaxe. Learning hammer now
>Who's your rival monster?
The human vagina
>What's your favorite Elder Dragon?
Dire miralus
>What's your favorite game roster?
Monhan 4U
>What monsters do you hope will return for MonHun World?
more than 20-25 at least with hard/G rank
>What's your Palico's name?
>>palicos

As a hunting horn player, I'll tell you it's fun, but if you don't know what you're doing you're gonna feel low damage.

Don't care, I have a PC

When is XX getting an English version, on any platform

Would be nice. Probably never though. Never ever.
