Re-Posting this from previous thread

Posting this cause I've seen a few people get lost while fighting Rath.
>Spawn on Ancient forest camp
>path to him is behind tent by where handler stands sometimes
>go through narrow tree branches take left at fork
>crawl under roots and his nest should be there
>after he leaves open your map

>follow scoutflies to him
>if you get lost even with scoutflies open map up and then close it
>doing that will point the camera to the right direction and scoutflies will glow strongly again.
Hope that helps cause every second counts fighting that cunt.

Any rathalos rooms up?

Where the fuck is the dam? I havent found it yet.

...

Never played Monster Hunter. Should I pick this up?

This game will NOT be a hit with normies, which is bittersweet. It will probably be the last MH entry for home consoles

that is kind of a useless metric though.
I expected the game to be shit, so of course it's better than I expected

>tfw i'm still at college and browsing Sup Forums and /vg/
>getting very VERY antsy everytime an user posts his room because i want to hunt with them too
;_;

>Sup Forums approved
>as if that means anything

MH is like a musou game. Only those that are fans of it in the first place will be interested. Even the best MH of its entry will not attract the casuals.

whats up with the mh x horizon dawn bitch and megaman x mh stuff? i know megaman is going to reskin your palico but whats up with basketball face?

Holy shit that's fucking crazy.

Rathalos's roost, on the mountainside wall (appears rather black) if Los happens to spit a fireball at it it'll go down, i expect it'll burst if you put a large barrel bomb there too, someone try this out to drown the Los, happened to me once he swept down the mountain and is instantly down+ took damage

>played for 10h on the first day
>8h today
>will probably try to sneak in 2 more hours tomorrow before it goes out
I was wary of the changes but so far so good

Just did it. Takes two large barrel bombs.

I think it takes two hits to pop, so baiting a fireball onto a boom barrel is the quickest way.

I haven't used all weapons yet, but here's what I've seen so far
>Greatsword
New level 3 charges that combo together, an armored tackle you can use to cancel a charge to protect yourself
>Hammer
Power charge that boosts your attack and stun briefly, a new combo string.
>Longsword
2 new moves, an offensive one that drains a Spirit level, and a defensive one that builds meter and acts as a parry
>Chargeblade
A new dashing variant of the 2 hit charge attack, Super AED no longer resets your shield power
>Bow
dodging after a shot readies another fully charged shot, new powerful piercing arrow, infinite Close Range Coatings, reticle now tells you if you're in range or not
>HBG
No crouchfire, can move and shoot, power shot that does an assload of damage
>Glaive
Air farts that increase your mobility midair, bug controls differently

And practically everything gets a special jumping attack while sliding down a hill.

Noice, gonna try that soon.
I'm very excited if each level will have neat environmental mechanics like these, was wary of it casualizing shit but it does take some brains to pull off

What do you mean? Monster Hunter is a normie series already.

I WANT TO DO THE ANIME AS FUCK TRIPLE SPIN MIDAIR WITH HAMMER
HOW

>HBG
Surely you don't mean the snipe shot? Assault rifle mode deals much more damage.

Ah thank you, that'll certainly be better to work with!

>Super AED no longer resets your shield power
Isn't that essentially a buff?

Sliding down a slope while charging I think.

I've only used HBG once or twice so it kinda slipped my mind.

>mfw first time I saw the dam break

Start charging, slide down a hill then release.

MH is already normie, japs even insert ebin MH references into anime on a consistent basis. Like 2 shows airing this season show characters casually playing MH in their free t7me, its pretty much factually the gook oD.

nips have better taste, of course. MH>>>>shit>>>>>CoD but in terms of how internalized in their culture it is, yes since nips love adhoc since PSP and multiplayan hunts

That's silly.

God this game is pretty. Especially during sunset/at night

The glaive is fun as fuck, but I have no idea what I’m doing. I’ve never gave it a shot before

>the first time you watch Rath and Anjanath fight
>when Rath just picks this new kid up and drops him to the bottom of the forest

Eh, it's okay. On the base PS4, at least. It's not ugly, but I wouldn't call it above average.

Barroth tried to man up on diablos and got his shit slapped.

someone wann tekk ne whats the lances big attack/ gimmick?
All the other weapons have some SUPER flashy specific attack, but lance just has...a counter attack?

>Watching Anjanath fucking savage Great Jagras

Its not just graphics that make a game pretty. The landscapes in this are lovely.

more

Poor Jagras is just bullied no matter where he goes. He just wants to eat

Artstyle matters more to me than technical graphics.

>watching my allies watch me get savaged while they hardly do anything to help

Holy shit I was that kid. Goddamn, this game.

FINALLY

>it's a 1v1 with Rath episode
>it's a teammate gets carted and takes 5 minutes to join the fight again episode
>it's a teammate doesn't know there's a teleport to top right camp feature episode

>nips have better taste
>Vaan and Penelo exist due to Japanese tastes
>brother Nier instead of daddy Nier
>likes easy mode for shooters
>countless other examples
Yeah... no. MH is a lucky fluke

tbqh, I haven't noticed the landscapes. I'm too busy trying to kill a motherfucker.

They were the only region to call Nioh too hard iirc.

>Hunting Rathalos on his roost at sunset

He also has very pretty eyes. They made him ikemen as fuck.

I've spent a couple of missions just wandering around and looking. The view from Rath's roost is nice like said. And the caves in the desert are interesting enough to take a peak around.

Is it just me or has Los's scleras always so black? I though in MHF2 it was white?

So Sup Forums now the dust has settled which is the best hunter weapon in the demo?

strawpoll.com/hfskcsc9

>.com
Use .me you faggot

why? .me sucks

>get friend into beta
>first question he asks 'okay which weapon will few people use so I can use it?'
Should I have just lied and said something easy to get him into it? I threw him at the Hunting Horn.

Every now and again while playing the edges of the screen fade out toa round circle in the middle, no idea what causes that. Anybody have any ideas? Only lasts for a few seconds.

Insect glaive is so satisfying to use.
>kinsect can be used as a weapon
>use it to bash heads when a monster is ko'd getting me buffs while doing damage
>can shoot a good at monsters that the kinsect follows and peaves blue flies that I think cause electricity damage when hit
>fly through the air like a majestic beast
>easy to climb monster
>is a glaive

Adrenaline

>mfw fighting Rajang with this verticality in MHW

How you use scrub teleport?

WHY!? HH is one of the hardest weapons to play well. He will probably be like 99% of the other HH users and stand in a corner playing music.

So what are the best ways to knock a monster down? Impact to the head and slashes to the legs?

>tfw sliding hammer spin

Is Monster Hunter an RPG?

>Have fun being a furry, you sick fuck
Glaive is good for one thing only.
Mounting monsters.

Not him, but I’m a new player looking to use HH. How should you play it? Why is it harder? Seems like a really neat weapon

>Just
That counter works on literally any attack from any monster in the game

Because it was funny. But yeah after a while I gave up and told him to go full jin roh with the HBG. He likes it a lot more.

Monster Hunter is Monster Hunter

Well now he will be using the weapon every normie will be using. Good job user.

Like... Heroics?

Protips from a Horner
>Don't stand in the fucking corners

>CORNER

no, not really, unless you find any game with options a RPG.

>plays tpp in pubg
wait that's just all asians in general.

Dont even know why. LBG is a lot more fun. Sure you cant mortar people but the mines are versatile.

I'm having a lot of fun.

Why are the Intermediate and Expert hard to do with 2 people ?

Do we just suck ??

>Bots and shills flock to the poll and inflate numbers
>Thinking it means anything

Yes, Barroth and Anja are easy.

>tfw you get a perfect Dragon Piercer off on the entire length of the monster
>All those break notifications
>Rumble enough to make the coldest bitch squirt gallons

All that and with a basic bow. Imagine blast bows

A good HH user, should be buffing his party appropriately while dishing out KO damage to the head of a monster. This can be tricky for new players who will be focusing on triggering the songs, so they will usually end up missing 50%+ of their attacks, or getting themselves killed.
You also need to be efficient with your songs using minimal note usage, with the new system in MHW this will actually be a lot easier. Watch this for a better explanation:
youtube.com/watch?v=R3Om_khNu2g

Also speed buff should ALWAYS be active, otherwise you might as well be a Hammer user.

I'll mount your mom.

so you haven't played the beta then.

I have a feeling LBG will be better endgame as well. It's nearly always been the case with the other entries.

>Taking away all gameplay to play a retarded cinematic made purely as eye candy for stupid and impressionable children is impressive now
Faggot. This looks like shit

She would probably fucking love it! At 72 years old the cobwebs could use a dusting.

Okay Anons, gonna ask now for what to go with,
>Dual Swords
>Gunlance
>CB
>LBG
>HBG
Which is the most fun from the demo?

anyone wanna hunt anja with me?
tried with a friend but kept running short on time due to getting fucked over by the rathalos for too much time
7mjHEAf2dBBn

Funlance

That's not a cinematic.

>Taking away all gameplay
try harder

I can help you user:

>Dual Swords
Most DPS. Most Anime. Most boring to play.
>Gunlance
Explody boom boom all day erry day
>CB
If you aren't good at positioning don't even bother
>LBG
Horizon Zero Sales 2
>HBG
SAYHELLOTOMYLITTLEFRIEND.jpg

CB, once you get the hang of it It's fucking magical
