Not normie friendly.

lolno

Every monster now has a one-hit kill attack, which will make for funny rage-quit moments on Twitch, but you can die up to 9 times without repercussion because you don't want people to actually quit playing the game.

Lirik and co. are shilling the fuck out of the game.

Who do you think you're fooling with this? All monsters have strong attacks that if you're not geared for can kill, and it's only 9 carts in the demo.

Don't be such a faggot holy shit.

>and it's only 9 carts in the demo
jesus, wtf happened to this place?

Because it's a handheld series that isn't Pokemon. The only console releases were the original PS2 game and MH3 which was on a platform where third party games don't sell.

It's pretty popular in the west. Contrary to what the """fanbase""" will tell you, the game was never hardcore and "niche"
They just say this stuff to make themselves feel special. Seriously, they love to feel like they're playing this really hardcore children's game. The game's fun, but hardcore? With enough time you can master this game.

Imagine being this paranoid and retarded

Casual shitters were put off by bad grafix
>Do you think Monster Hunter World will finally be a big hit in the west?
No

People will be like "bla bla difficulty bla bla" but it's not that. Everybody loves difficulty. It's the fact that MH has been 90% of it's lifespan stuck on handhelds. =Westerners do not like hand helds, the DS and Gameboy were exceptions.

it's not casualized enough unfortunately so it won't appeal to many, but it'll surely bring in a lot of new players

>With enough time you can master this game.

So like every other game?

They do, monhun fans are seriously annoying and contradict themselves.
>complaints of casualization ever since 3
>"Hehe monhun isn't hardcore loser, its a children's game"
It will, should have made DD2 crapcom.

>mh fans are a single entity

How the fuck do i download this? I can't find it on the PSN store. I have PS+.

Demo section

you have to buy the last issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, the code will be inside.

You have to go to the MH:W page like you would pre-order and scroll down to download the demo

Why are you trolling the guy?

>Why didn't Monster Hunter ever take off big in the west?
Bad graphics and clunky gameplay.
>Do you think Monster Hunter World will finally be a big hit in the west?
Looks great and plays more fluently and action-orientated. Also got an actual marketing campaign. It also had one of the longest lines at GamesCom. So probably.
Go to the demo section and it should be the first thing to pop up.

This

Capcom just went to a "middle ground" that is going to satisfy nobody.

>clunky gameplay.
It's exactly the same

>Looks great and plays more fluently and action-orientated
not that much. It's more updated because they use the same clunky mechanics since the days of PSP up until MH XX
MH3U is quite slow to my taste and MH:W is a bit more fluid. Combat still very very similar
Graphically it's on par with Toukiden 2 on PC. I'd say Monster Hunter is more about the hunting items, quests, etc. It's more like a 80 hour experience than Toukiden 2 which is action focused

>It's pretty popular in the west
lol fucking wat .your a retard thats jumping on a bandwagon thinking that MH is millon seller in the west on handhelds even worse on consoles.

Get in here faggots
Rathalos must die
4rPAsHTnhrz

mh is much more than 80 hours retard

Because it doesn't give you instant gratification and requires time and effort to get good.

depends, ''retard''. I stop playing at 70~80h. Plus I don't play online.

Well MHW is pretty casual and westernized. It's literally made to appeal to the average normie in the West now, so yeah it'll become bigger. They'll pay some streamers and youtubers to promote it and it'll probably do well.

It's a shame for vets who like proper MH, but they're the ones being left in the dust. Maybe Capcom will run a portable series with a focus on Japan at the same time in the future, doubt they can afford to just lose so many sales in Japan.

Because it's obtuse, has a steep/offputting learning curve, the satisfaction you get from learning the game takes way WAY too long unless you are extremely patient.

Plus, Japan is full of people who walk around constantly because they are so packed into a tiny little area, so finding people to play with is way easier before the internet developed into the monster it is today.

It's mostly the fact that it takes too long to get anything accomplished though, folks in the west are impatient as hell in comparison.

>jumping on a bandwagon
Thanks for proving my point. This "counter-argument" implies that it's the popular thing to think that monster hunter is popular in the west. You're stupid.

Regarding the LBG's stake thing, does that only impact the player's shots, or does it also affect allies? Does it last based on time or the number of shots that pass through it? And if it affects allies, and is time based, could you use it in conjunction with a HBG's gatling fire?

>Well MHW is pretty casual and westernized
It isn't. Just because youtubers are making money with trailer reactions doesn't mean anything
MH was never a hard game. It was never a game that a 16 year old autist couldn't get 80% in a week

>It isn't
It is. The fact that you can run while healing is "nuff said" already.

oh no
they gona flood this game with je suis monte

>nintendobabies complaining about casualized games
Cringe

Question: is there any 60fps MH on Nintendo systems? It's fluid 60fps on PS4Pro just let you guys know

Only TriG on 3ds without 3D mode

Yeah 4U for example

words of wisdom

Actually getting into it requires high levels of autism.

i am stating facts the best selling MH were on portables thanks to the japs ,the best console monhon sold as well as worst portable one faggot.

What bandwagon have I hopped on then, faggot?

>didn't actually play it
Potions heal you at a slow rate now to compensate for the ability to move while drinking, and you literally cannot run while drinking a potion. I've tested and confirmed this for myself, other players easily outrun you while you're healing and I've had to dodge out mid-heal and lose more than half of my potion. Play the fucking game instead of spouting retarded shitposts from redditors who watched a YouTube video

3U on 3DS is close

4U hovers around 45

Not only this, but if you dodge or if you're hit while drinking a potion, you stop healing and need to use another entirely. It's a step above stopping, stretching and staring at the stars before drinking a potion, but NOT a casualization

46fps

>you stop healing and need to use another entirely
But you also avoid the incoming damage.

It's 100% more casual in MHW.

MH looks like it’d be really really fun with friends but with total strangers over the internet; not so much

MH4 only sold 1 million total copies in all non japanese regions. It's not popular outside of Japan, and if you think it is you are a retard.

Good thing you can store 99 potions for a mission and everyone has free farcasters

It's true tho, devs said it themselfs.

I tried one MH in PSP long ago but never amounted to much because I never managed to play with someone, and the rest of them as they have been on nintendo consoles never played but I was interested, so this one looks pretty damn fun.

This beta got me hooked for the PC version.

>fluid 60fps
Lying soyboy

And where have they said that?

I don’t get this. Bloodborne and the Souls games are fairly popular and those games are often noted for their difficulty. Why is MH any different

Honestly. I think it has more to do with the fact that MH games were forced on handhelds. The game may be good but people still want a game that doesn’t look like it’s running on a PS2

Why? Wait for the DF analysis you'll see I was right

Is everything in this game suposed to be a fucking chore? Played the demo for 30min and while the monster animations and graphics are pretty, the controls, UI, and pretty much everything else is fucking awful.

this stupid idea that just cause consoles it will become the break out hit of it series.
>PS2 didn't do it
>Wii didn't do it
>(enter your console of choice) won't do it neither

No it isnt. Lockon is actually functioning like a lockon should, you can fimally aim properly ypur eanged weapons, character can heal dash, dodging is faster, weapons are easier to re-align.

It still has that clunky MH feel but its better. The air combos add new layers of action that are more appealing to execute. Monsters are also alot more violent and spastic, they move alot more.

>Monsters in the background animate at literally 5 FPS
>Everything gets smudged out if it's more than 30 feet from the character
>Even with all this corner-cutting the game barely runs at 30 FPS and dips to 10-20 FPS ranges constantly

The tweet was posted here yesterday, don't have the link to it.

Monster Hunter World will throw this game series into the spotlight because it's out of its garbage Nintendo handheld honeymoon phase and is now going back to the big boys

Mix of PS2 grafix, janky af, deep systems that aren't explained to you at all, it's difficult and barely any story.

Besides it being janky af, are the reasons why I love monhun

>normies are gonna laud this game because they are graphic fags

The worst timeline

>Every monster has a one-hit kill attack
Even Diablos, the strongest monster in the demo, can't oneshot you while using a Gunner weapon.
Sure, you're undergeared for Diablos, but it's also fucking Low Rank.

...

Who said the graphics are amazing?

Graphics aren't particularly amazing
They're just something you'd expect from a game that's being released in fucking 2018

that's fucking stupid to believe it was on two of the most best selling consoles ever but this time it will be different .

>lowest amount of maps
>barely any monsters
>reduced amount of gear sets
>casualised gearing
>scoutflies
>shitty voice acting and story cinematic scripted crap everywhere
>not even 60fps

Is it just me or did the tweak the gameplay?

I mean my old feel that animation cancels in previous ones was not as easytoi do as in this one, when you did an attack, you commityed to it, in ehre I feel I can toll at any time no matter the state of intertia of my attacks.

I have not played that many hours so maybe some of the veterans that have 1000+`h in MH games can confirm/deny this feel.

If this is so, it's a BIG step in the casualization of this.

With the hype generated, the big announcement at the Sony press conference, yeah, it will be. I guarantee it'll have millions of sales simply because of how it was presented.

What hype? Pre orders are mediocre globally.

>>lowest amount of maps
>>barely any monsters
>>reduced amount of gear sets
almost like it's a demo or somethin

that always translate to sales to huh.and to add look up the numbers yourself monhun was never a western game so stop deluding yourself

MHW will be the first western game in the franchise

I didn't expect to be so fucking annoyed by stupid fireflies. They're all over the fucking screen, always glowing right in your face. This is so bad, holy shit. Even worse how they highlight interactive objects WHICH ARE ALREADY MARKED BY FUCKING SPARKS. Do I really need this ugly outline? It's like a game designed for retards and you can't even turn this shit off. Why not make it subtle? Why not let you play without this shit? I just want to explore the fucking map and experiment with new things but all I can see is constant glow of stupid bug cloud.

>we want the western audience.

>Why didn't Monster Hunter ever take off big in the west?
The West has enough kusoge, they don't need more.

>graphic don't matter
Everyone bitch how shit the graphic was when it was on the 3ds and psp. But now its on ps4, pc and xbone, graphic finally doesn't matter? Fuck you graphicfags.

This is my first monster hunter game, and I'm having a lot of fun. But what the fuck is Crit Eye? I've just been stacking attack, but I noticed Crit.
I also just solo'd Diablos and Rathalos. God damn they were hard, but it felt fucking amazing killing them.

I am really like Gun Lance, but I couldn't do shit to Rathalos with it, and had to go Bow. Otherwise, Switch Axe is beyond overpowered in groups imo, and I always get Highest Damage because of it.

Literally most of the normie twitch streams that jumped on the chance to be the first to stream this game to the public.
>wooah dude it's sooooooooo pretty
Several times

How do you know if you get highest damage?

Souls games aren't difficult, they jsut approach challenge in a diferent way than usual, not a harder one. They just ask more precision on your moves like old games used to.

They are not easy games, rather than hard games.

Too hard for the average consolefag.

Hopefully it will so the next one will have even more monsters. or maybe new weapons

i know plants and shit are easy to pick out but animal tracks and slime and shit you cant even see untill the flys highlight them eventually you have to memorize those spots(till you max out flys in the full game so you dont need tracks anymore)

flys are distracting as fuck

I know friends that have NEVER played Monster Hunter and yesterday we tried out the Beta and all of them now want to jump in.

At least with the Long Sword, you can change direction at any time in the Spirit combo. You don't have to commit to a specific direction.

The SA is sped up in all forms, from attack speed of Sword mode, to sheathing. So you won't really notice the weight of the attacks of Sword mode when you're jumping up and down hacking and slashing away.

I'm sort of tempted to drop the SA because it feels like a crutch now and is more dumbed down than Generations.

Go to Settings > Sound and Screen from your home menu and set the resolution to 720p. This forces the game to render at that res natively and helps keep the framerate at a stable 30+.

Yea you can stop baiting now

Tips for soloing the big boy?

Dont mount

>20 brand new monsters
>barely any monsters

Why are MonHun fags losing their shit over the series becoming more streamlined and accessible? You'd think they'd be glad that more people are getting into the series.

Nothing has ever improved by gaining mass appeal.

Its an infestation.

>m-muh secret club tho
