1 more

Hunting horn mother fucker

>beta ends today
I'm not ready to wait a month. It was so good.

IKR Where my SnS bro's at?

What's your new favorite weapon? Think with all the new features I feel I'll be using it more often.

anyone got a room up

Something that amazes me about mh is how all weapons are pretty much equally distributed between the playerbase.

Shoutout to my SA gemts

I really like the house katana, the move set and style of play fits me. Am I gonna be fucking people up online with it? Tripping them and shit?

the new superman shield bash looks sweet. wish I could have played the beta

who IG masterrace?

now that i look at it, is this legit the most fun Sup Forums had in like forever?

Because not comp cancer game

All of them nublet

not if you know how to use it properly. LS is a very precise weapon so just aim where people aren't in the way

Why are the minor monsters such a non entity now? Even Aptonoths in the other games are more dangerous than any minor monster in this game

Those threads remind me of /bbg/ some time ago

legit fun

Yeah but still, it says a lot about people having different tastes.

It is shaping like one of the best games ever.

As someone who has never seriously played a MonHun game, should i get this for XBox One X?

post more sexy neet girl. Are there more pictures of this artist of this cahracter.

whats the most 'flashy' weapon, where you look cool as fuck for just doing normal shit

is this game nice?
I always played on psp and vita
then moved to 3ds and really liked it (I missed some difficulty though, specially in generations)

I may get it on PC

I'll probably stick to the same stuff I used in 4 Ultimate: Switch Axe, Sword and Shield and Heavy Bowgun.

Because open world user. If they were as disruptive as they were before, it would get annoying as fuck.

>is this legit the most fun Sup Forums had in like forever?
user, Sup Forums has fun all the time. Just because you weren't part of the Sup Forums having fun with Nioh or the the Nioh Alpha or Beta or anything else like that doesn't mean Sup Forums never has fun.

Sure, probably you'll have a pretty close and dedicated community.

I've played the beta a bit and while the combat mechanics themselves seems to be extremely solid, any hunt turns into a boring as fuck clusterfuck of chasing after a damage sponge. And while it's obvious that you can kill monsters way more efficiently by mastering weapon, i just don't feel any incentive to continue playing.
Are all monhun games like this? Where's the fun?

Be a dedicated tail cutter

That's Great Jagras/Barroth's job while you're hunting something more important it seems. Assholes just want to ruin your shit.

GL

I never played a Monster Hunter game before and these are my impressions-

I found the first mission to be an absolute snoozefest, I just picked one of the faster weapons and buttonmashed, thought it was super boring. Still I decided to try the second mission and picked the greatsword and had a great time because the monster actually challenged me a bit. I completely understand why MH fans are terrified of casualization now, it becomes total shit if there's no challenge.

Swaxe. Everything is spins and flips and jumps and the sound of grinding mechanisms kachunk-ing into place.

All of them

Lance desu. The new stuff you can do with guard dodge is so fucking satisfying

Bow is amazing this time around

>any hunt turns into a boring as fuck clusterfuck of chasing after a damage sponge.
Yeah. That's what Monster Hunter is about.
>Where's the fun?
Mastering those combat mechanics. Also there's a really strong sense of progression. I'd wager your issue is related to that. I'm a HUGE MH fan, but I never like the demos that much because they remove the progression element entirely.

Tomoko has a bunch of friends now (all girls), with a couple fighting over her

Holy shit GL is winning. I didn't try it in the demo but I typically make a set for it in MH games since it is fun to use sometimes but is it better than brave mode GL in XX? HH and bow get no love in that poll. Will probably main HH.

In mastering said weapons and crafting more weapons and armor to master them even further and give the monsters the dick. Also, 14 different weapon types essentially lead to endless gameplay potential.

I'm starting to think this beta was a bad idea. People new to the series are getting a wrong idea about how the game will really be.

>user fights the basic tutorial monster
Dude. Jagras is MEANT to be baby town. Literally just designed to give you something gentle to learn how to play against.

hipster

>duel hachets that low

Shit taste lads

Can you not play solo in this demo or are you just one of those people who need the cat help?

The main draw of the game is long-term progression, something the beta can't appropriately convey.

Killing monsters is fun. Chasing rare materials to make sweet new gear is more fun.

But really, it's the kind of game you love or you hate. If grinding isn't your thing, you probably won't get much mileage out of it.

The demo is far easier than the main game. The demo is at Low Rank difficulty, where monsters move slower and attack less often. The game will also feature High Rank difficulty, which will be a big leap in difficulty where the monsters become far more aggressive, faster, have more health, deal more damage, and sometimes even gain new moves.

The maximum death counter is also 3 instead of the demo's very lenient 9. It's a press demo, so it's designed for people who don't play video games.

Who /hammer bro/ here

It's not even shit taste user. It's just retardation. Dual Swords are objectively way too good in the Beta. They're the only correct answer to the question of which is "best"

You can thank Tri for neutering them

No way. I read the manga half a year ago and from what I've seen she is incapable of being a good person and therefore won't ever make a real friend.

The new charged moveset + the sliding attack are just amazing. Big Bang Combo fucks shit up.

Where were all the GL fags when times were tough, before it was casualised?

It might just be the element. Barroth is weak to water for example, and the Dual Blades you get are water element.

Ironically, it's the repetitiveness for the chance of rare loot to craft cool armors is the main draw of this decade long series

It's all about feeling comfy when getting into the zone while secretly hoping you don't get screwed by tiny mistakes

Is this poll done in terms of overall ability, damage and versatility, or is it done in terms of enjoyment and fun?
Because of it's the former, the Charge Blade is seriously broken. SAED spam literally breaks everything. I solo'd Rathalos, Anjanath and Jagras in only 15 minutes.

If it is in terms of enjoyment though, yeah. Gun Lance and Hammer are top tier.

Power charged Uppercut is mai waifu.

Not playing GL because the heat gauge mechanic in Gen was fucking bullshit

they are very good but super boring, it just feels like you are constantly whittling away at the monster as opposed to other weapons feeling like you are really beating the shit out of the monster.

All I know is that autistic speedrunners are getting kill times like Diablos in less than 7 minutes while using them.

Paying 10 cents for anyone to convince me to buy this on my ps4 instead of waiting for pc.

My ps4 is not pro by the way.

Wasn’t able to play the beta
Will this be better on pc or console?

FunLance mainly. The Switch Axe comes a close second.

I would have mentioned HBG, but it really only gets insanely flashy with the cooldown

>can go from guards points into discharge
>can go from shield thrust into discharge
>can charge sword for KO damage
Charge blade is back baby

>tfw fully charge Switch Axe
>Rath is on the ground, you'r estanding next to his face
>press R2

PC if the port is halfway decent but no word on PC release so if you HAVE to play it at release, you have no choice but console. But if you are big on playing with randoms, PS4 is the only choice due to larger install base and Japanese community

It's fucking nuts how you can encore in any direction (or just standing still) now, on top of the fact that playing songs hits them 2-5 times or something like that for regular damage. I've had times where I just played songs that I already have active anyway just so I could slap them a million times in their face for more damage than I would have done with normal swings. It's like they want you to play the damn instrument instead of treating playing songs like little more than an upkeep of the weapon. When I first saw the trailer for HH I was disappointed as hell but I don't think I could be happier with it as it is.
Except maybe if they gave it more damage so I can solo shit competitively instead of always taking several minutes more than with anything else.

Is this some sort of lazy reverse shilling? The game is fun, that should be enough.

>there will never be an option to equip male armor over a female hunter
I just wanna make a cute girl but not wear retarded looking armor

That's a matter of taste. I feel the complete opposite.

Monster Hunter is always about wailing on a damage sponge enemy. It feels a lot better to hit that enemy relentlessly than it does to wind up a big swing and everything only for the monster to shrug it off and tackle your ass to the ground anyways.

The only "big" weapon I enjoy using is Switch Axe, because it specializes in hitting enemies relentlessly and often, much like SnS and DB.

Basically, Tomoko got into the loser group in last year's field trip, and now has a two girls that invite her to lunch, a delinquent that occasionally punishes Tomoko's stupidity, a closet otaku that passive-aggressives her, and a literal lesbian stalker

I thought the anja female armor looked good. Don't knowabout the rest since I'm not a fag

Diablos' secondary weakness is water as well.
Dual Blades are very good at sticking to a target, and their damage may be a little bit too good, but I think the elemental weaknesses of the demo monsters may play a certain role here.

>there will never be an option to equip female armor over a male hunter

I see what you are saying, but when I use Hammer I just constantly knock parts off, stagger the monster, knock it over, it just feels more fun to me to feel like I am smacking the hell out of it really hard. Always glad to have a DB user on a hunt though, big DPS and they don't get in the way.

Doesn't this game have transmog for fashion?

>Diablos' secondary weakness is water as well.
I know all about the game user.
> I think the elemental weaknesses of the demo monsters may play a certain role here.
It's exaggerating it, but the issue here is still real and it's not like they get shitty times against Rathalos.

They're too good. They have probably already been nerfed, given that this is a trade show build that's likely relatively out of date.

>transmog

Get the fuck out of here with that shit

But Male Anja looks better and conservative

I'm pretty sure there are some set called layered sets that are like costumes you equip over your armor, I don't think all armor works that way though and even if it did it wouldn't be possible to go between genders.

you guys did kill blos and rath ATLEAST right?

I'm a little mad they didn't include a wide gunlance in the demo.

Where my Gunlancers at?

It's not worth getting the actual kill. I just fought them a couple times to experience their fight in the new game.

Anyways, you aren't cool until you've fought a Pukei-Pukei.

>16 Longsword fags
EXPLAIN YOURSELF

both last night back to back

Are we not gonna get a snowly location?
Now that I think about it scout flies shouldnt really work in cold enviroment, but they wont scrap snow maps just for that, right?

Why do people play lance over gunlance? What's so good about it when it doesn't go boom

Love the charging blade, feels like out of Bloodborne

can you solo all the bosses? dragon bird is wrecking my shit

>get tripped or trips everyone else
>have to constantly sheathe and unsheathe

Lance is faster.

>Now that I think about it scout flies shouldnt really work in cold enviroment,
Says fucking who?
>they wont scrap snow maps just for that, right?
user, Snow and Volcano are usually the "endgame" regions for a MH game. Relax.

If they're gonna reveal or tease them, wait for late Dec or early Jan.

Yes but you have to be gud

Monsters are so passive. only get hit about 5 times a game

Where's Pukei Pukei?

GL had me getting fun but I found myself swearing a lot more when I played it over SA too for this

Pretty much

more "reliable" It's hard to explain, but shelling eats up sharpness and falls off hard as the ranks go up

Yes, yes I have.

Ancient Forest, but extremely uncommon. He's that flying chameleon lookin' motherfucker with the colorful tail? He's been in trailers.

But it's real. You can google it if you doubt me.

Bow, Switch Axe and Gun Lance.

Primary bow. I like to keep mobile.
