>Just got this, how do I make the combat fun and less clunky bullshit
Well, the game is about learning patterns, spacing, and the environment to strike during moments of opportunity, so not every weapon is supposed to be fast.

If you can't take the slow stuff, try the insect glaive.

>Also armor choices and skills are fucking garbage.
>Just got this

How many games do you play where all the great skills and armor is available at the start?

Don't expect it to be like other games, you have to commit to your attacks instead of cancelling out whenever you want. If you want high mobility use Sword and Shield or Dual Blades

>how do I make the combat ... less clunky bullshit
You go play some other game.

>game about combat against literally dinosaurs and shit
>Moving slow and looking for openings
Welp this shits going in the trash

This

how about you actually read up on a game before you buy it, dumbass

Based

what kind of a fucking moron would buy a game without knowing the basics of what its about beforehand?

youtube.com/watch?v=50-IoVIHE-E

How else are you going to fight dinosaurs and shit while using comically oversized weapons?

By moving comically fast you retard.

See that looks boring as shit

Then play God Eater

Look I liked God Eater, but if youre gonna do that to yourself, play Toukiden 2 instead. Its faster tha8n MH and better that GE

youtube.com/watch?v=ijmyfQ0RBjM

or just play another game, MH isn't for everyone

I forgot Toukiden was a thing. But yeah that might be more up OP's alley.

Why do casuals always think slow = clunky? Of course you're not gonna slash at lightspeed when your character is holding a cartoonishly huge weapon. Everything has weight and impact to it, as it should.

Clunky would be something like Shadow the Hedgehog where normal movement is way too awkward because of how slippery it is and you're sliding all over the place running into pits and enemies. Monster Hunter feels slower than most games because of how organic the wind up is for attacks and the recovery frames for each impactful slash/slam. But it's not clunky at all, the controls are responsive and the combat isn't supposed to be DMC/God of War/Bayonetta levels of speed. It's more about stamina management and methodical assaults rather than cuhrayzeee.

>armor choices and skills are fucking garbage.
and also don't matter at all when you're still low rank

i thought this game was gonna be an mmo

>16 player session games

so i saw my friend play this and it seems kinda clunky and shitty as fuck to play with randoms, like theres not enough people to physically run into someone and team up often

what gives

MHW is not an MMO. The 16 player thing is just for the lobbies, there you can chat with randoms or sign up for quests together. Otherwise you can answer distress calls from randoms, send out your own, or make a private lobby.

you don't physically run into people, you post a quest and people join into the session, it's not an mmo

First thing's first, pick the hammer. More so than the sword and shield, it is the best beginner weapon. Reason being that you can charge attacks while moving and its interactions with the environment are very clear. Once you get to the Anjanath, you might want switch since that thing and anything with a head and tail above ground level becomes a bitch for the hammer without slopes and constant lv2 R2.

Now, you've got to get into the idea of Monster Hunter. You're not in a DMC hack and slash, you're fighting a war of attrition. Pick your fights carefully and when you feel comfortable committing to going all out.

Because most casuals don't play bad games, especially when they can just look stuff up on youtube.
Also they don't like missing attacks or acknowledging that they suck.

>casuals don't play bad games
you deserve this YOU

I'm serious. Not the "oh this is kinda meh but still fun" or "this is just a movie with button prompts" kind. I mean the "You could contribute anything to our society, and you went with this?" kind of bad.
MS Saga, Drakengard 2, Sonic '06 kind of bad.

having a really great time with monster hunter.
if you dont like it dont play it, you're probably just bad at this kind of game.
I recommend you checking out Clash of Clans

Fuck off with this clunky meme already. YOu dodge you hit the monster, just like tons of other games

So you just bought it without knowing anyhting about it, without trying fast weapons and just complaining about it?
TRULY the state of Sup Forums

This. Just start a hunt and send out an SOS flare whenever you want people to join you. Or play with actual friends!

Stop playing it, it obviously isn't your thing.

Any porn of floof bat?

>clunky

Every fucking time.

HIP-CHECK

>Just got this, how do I make the combat fun and less clunky bullshit
The combat is fine. It's about deciding when to attack as opposed to mashing a button to win.

>Also armor choices and skills are fucking garbage.
Correct. Worst they've ever been.

Confirmed bait thread.

I legit only have 3 complaints with the game. And they're mostly minor.
Transmogging needs to happen, too many great looking armor sets have shit skills and are wasted.
The gathering hall is completely pointless and needs access to the workshop and research people.
And there needs to be a fucking way of sorting and searching investigations.

Yes.
Yes.
GOD, yes. All three of these need to happen.

...

Anyone else disappointed that there's no Transmog system?

I'm loving the game, but when they said you could apply skins to disguise your armor, I expected they would at least give you a COUPLE in-game.

I Got the Samurai one by buying the special edition, but the fact that's the only one kind of bummed me out a little.

>I HAVE TO BUY EVERY BIG GAME THAT COMES OUT WITHOUT RESEARCHING IT
I hate you people

LOOK AT THIS ANJANATH!

Every time I do it makes me laugh

I asked last thread but didn't get an answer. Is Teostra's SnS the go-to for that weapon type? And is it worth building a blast set around it?

Use fast weapons retard

What bothers me more is that this "Clunky" is perfectly fine in Dark Souls apparently but in a game that also consists in not just hitting like a moron and actually read what the monster is gonna do somehow that's bad gameplay.

>plays game known for fighting big monsters with slow heavy weapons
>doesn’t like fighting big monsters with slow heavy weapons
Primitive bait.

How do you add the second skill on B armors?

>I'm shit at games
You could have just said that at the start.

Why the fuck did you buy Monster Hunter if you didn't want to play fucking Monster Hunter you fucking retard

Be a man and ignore stats.

dark souls isnt clunky like monster hunter

t. brainlet

Capcom intentionally gimped the armor sets skills and removed a vanilla-based transmog system so that they could sell it to you as DLC. It's that fucking obvious. And they'll get away with it too since it's only """cosmetics""""" and not gameplay content like new areas and monsters.

Add to this decreased mission rewards for repeating optionals, so people get it through their head that they're supposed to be running investigations, not doing optionals over and over.

It's fucking surreal seeing Souls fans unironically calling Monhun clunky. Souls is even "hitbox porn" according to that one review. I think it might be the lock-on system being so different.

I just want to see Rajang eat a Kirin.

Dark Souls and Demon's Souls are just games with shittier Monster Hunter combat and crafting features.

Bloodborne is the FromSoft game that features improved Monster Hunter combat (can't say the same for the crafting though.)

>you don't physically run into people
So it's like No Man's Sky?

>I think it might be the lock-on system being so different.

Pretty much this.
Modern-day shitters can't function well without their lock-on systems.

>>it's another faggot who buys game based exclusively on hype instead of researching it prior to purchase
are you capable of doing anything on your own, brainlet?

He's kind of right about the vid though.
Watching someone kill some early HR monster with crazy endgame gear by repeatedly bashing it in the head is not exactly exciting.

WHAT DOES THIS BAGEL FUCKER WANT FROM ME

MonHun scrub here, what's the point behind investigations? I have two pages full of investigations for slaying vespoids and hunting the great jagras. They just seem like easier quests.

Your tight hunter butthole

The game is about none of those things. It's solely about grinding. Grinding for gear so that you can grind for more gear more efficiently.

they're essentially there to make farming quicker. if there's a specific monster you need to kill they generally have more rewards than a regular quest. I recommend just registering investigations of monsters you're going to farm

>They just seem like easier quests.
Check the conditions. Usually they are harder because of tighter time limit or limits on your fainting count. Early they are kind of garbage, later they offer better rewards.

How do mantles work anyway? They have an infinite icon but they also get depleted. I assume they recharge or something?

Yeah, they have a cool down.

No you can still join other people on quests

You can literally just fling shit in his face and he'll fly away for a bit.

Just make a set or two and stick with it. You don't have to make every set and weapon to get through the game.

Thanks for the quick answer, I don't have this game yet but I've been wondering about the mantles for awhile

Ah, thought that might be the idea but I was worried I was missing something. The game is a little overwhelming in the beginning.

Eh I figure serves them right to get less rewards since it's pretty obvious if you pay any attention that investigations are better.

This wouldn't really bother me as long as they give it a respectable price.

>monster hunter has slow clunky comba-

JE

when brainlets say clunky, they mean they can't cancel every animation

SUIS

The funny part is that Demon's Souls almost plays better without the lock-on and Bloodborne plays well with it used only selectively.

SUISE

MONTE

Is it possible to play aggressively being a great sword main? When playing alone, I find myself having to hit, run around until I find a next opening and repeat (unless I stun or stagger them of course.) I was running out of time and ended up panicking and dying on Nerg. Do GS mains have to utilize a ton of items just to beat him soon enough?

Pardon...

you realize this is retarded?

This is shit compared to Batman Arkham City. No counters, you can't parry them, and you have to manually line yourself up with the enemy to hit them, that's fucking trash

>Just got this, how do I make the combat fun and less clunky bullshit...
Dual blades.
>Also armor choices and skills are fucking garbage.
Gee, you don't fucking say, starting armor is limiting, woah! Someone call the press!!!!

>This wouldn't really bother me as long as they give it a respectable price.

Let's hope that they don't charge us for transmogging individual armor pieces and just give the full package that allows us to transmog whatever we want, whenever we want.

No-matter how cool you think you are, nobody you're playing with actually thinks your pole vaulting is in any way impressive.

>no recast timer on mantles

>counters and parrying

That would make the game too fucking easy. And this is the easiest Monster Hunter yet.

But Chargeblade, Lance, and Longsword can all do that. What features you want depends on what weapon you play.

>Sup Forums says its good
>you just have to find your weapon bro
>try every weapon
>they're all goofy weirdly shaped too big/too small
>never play again
th-thanks v

Hence why the combat is so clunky and outdated. They need to take notes from WB games, look at the combat in Batman and shadow of mordor.

Yeah not sure why Capcom made IG so broken compared to the other weapons.

img.4plebs.org/boards/pol/image/1481/64/1481641109444.jpg

>shadow of mordor.

And now I know you're fucking trolling.

Are you using your draw slash and charging your attacks to at least level one or are you trying to use the combos?
Combos are bad, draw and charge are good, greatsword can tear this game apart.

Don't worry Sup Forums will be saying that it is shit in a month
