If you can't handle Anja, stop playing the game. I'm serious. Anja is an asshole but if you're blowing your lid off at this guy, you're done.

Wow, Its like your fighting a monster or something

>can't handle Anja

what? is this the power of MHfags? you guys are defending this awful clunky gameplay?

this is actually hilarious. Stockholm shit.

>moves nonstop
No
>fucking annoying movelist
Also no
>moves nonstop
No (x2)
>bullshit damage
Upgrade your armor
>weak points are all dangerous
Literally (literally) stay on his sides and under his jaw. He can't bite you, his only options then get reduced to backing up for flame breath or doing a very wide tail whip, both of which are resolved by rolling into the monster. He also can't pounce you, and his most dangerous headbutt will only hit you once, rather than three times.
>fucking moves nonstop
No (x3)

HOW DO I COUNTER A STOVE

>OP thinks Anja is hard
>he never fought Plesioth with the broken hipcheck
You're a baby.

I really don't understand what people mean when they say "clunky" anymore. You faggots can see on numerous streams and youtube videos that people are capable of dancing through and around enemy attacks, wailing on monsters from all angles, and crushing things dramatically faster than Anja. Yet when you shitters get your hands on the controller, it's suddenly IMPOSSIBLE to play and every person who managed to defeat the monsters you found yourself incapable of defeating are either liars or deluded drones.

What makes you people think this way?

Protip: The hunters are overpowered in this game with all the shit they have at their disposal, while the monsters are severely under powered in terms of activity and temperament

You are just bad

>it's a "bad player can't get past Anja" episode

t. most journalists paid buttons to review the game

there is only 1 thing about anja thats annoying and thats the weird charge that hits you with leteral SHOCKWAVES even when you stand behind or besides it, that shit is ass but honestly there is worse in the game

i literally just made the most strong armor i have and i'm on high rank missions, don't give me that upgrade bullshit.

i dont know or care what that is.

nobody knows what the fuck you're talking about.

also, fuck all of you. i just got hit by it's flame breath beam and i was NOWHERE NEAR IT. if i knew how to make webms i'd show you faggots how awful this game's hitboxes are also. all my friends are dropping it and i'm about to also.

bunch of losers stuck in their anime fantasy fights, this game is awful.

>Armor Spheres
>Fire Resistances
>Etc.

>Anjanath

I hope your anus is ready for Deviljho then. I had more trouble with Tobi Kadachi than Anjanath.

Counterpoint: I have absolutely no problem with Anja and eat him for breakfast with my gunlance. What does this say about you?

Here's a hunter using a weapon that is painfully slow to defeat the monster you are struggling with.

i don't give a fuck about some kid who put 1000 hours into the series.

Fucking why. I've got a perfectly functional tool for adjusting the camera angle under my right hand if I choose to do so.

If you can't avoid Anja's attacks you are braindead.

This was my first monster hunter and I crushed Anja with dual blades solo on my first try just by repeatedly using the spinning slash to get behind his claws and jumping on him whenever the opportunity presented itself.

MH Thread?
MH Thread.

Still trying to kill bazelgeuse on expeditions for that swaxe. Just got to elder's peak and I want a new weapon desu

All of those are valid except number 3.
You're playing the game wrong if you think the combat isn't great.

>he is literally this bad
>"it's the game's fault not mine"
>"why can't I just run up to it and mash buttons!"
Anja is easy as fuck and this was my first MH game. If you stopped making excuses for how much you suck, then you would have beaten him already.

Just wait until you fight Ogodaron.

this seems more your speed

I found a video of OP

>Investigations offer better rewards than just hunting out in the field
>Cannot unlock investigations pertaining to a monster until you encounter it in the main story
>But the monsters are still out there in the wilderness anyway for you to defeat.

This shit honestly pisses me off.
I have killed Rathalos tons of times before he ever showed up in the campaign. I've even crafted most of his armor. What reason does the game have to not give me some Rathalos investigations? I've long since proven that I am able to beat the guy several times now, what's the big deal? Same with that ice dragon.

This wouldn't be that much of a problem if the main campaign wasn't a slog to tear through. But unfortunately it is. And even AFTER I've encountered a monster in the main story they game still feels the need to dripfeed me the investigations one bit at a time based on an arbitrary amount of things I am picking up.

The combat of this game is fantastic and tracking down and fighting monsters is great but the general design of everything is doing its very best to keep me away from playing.

Let me tell you, I also had that mentality about Monster Hunter having clunky combat. I decided to stick with it though because I figured that the game must be popular for a reason and that I'm doing something wrong. Eventually something clicks and you start weaving through monster attacks and discovering opportune moments of attack. Anjanath may move around a lot, but you just gotta get those bits of damage in each time he stops. You'll learn to use all the tools at your disposal to stop him from moving, or at least slow him down.

There is something you are missing and my best advice would be to just keep playing. You have to realize that Monster Hunter is a very methodical game. It's not like an action game where you can spam attacks and be generally safe doing that. Each button press needs to be thought about. It's extremely rewarding once you figure that out, but I agree that the game is just as frustrating.

OP isn't anywhere near as attractive or fun as those TV personalities are.

Hunterfu is cute
I want to succ her belly

I literally chew Anja up with insect glaive, and that's supposed to be a shit tier weapon. Git. Gud.

Having put over 100 hours into the game, I am convinced Anjanath is just a shitty fight. Most everyone else has more compact anatomy that lets you see what's coming next easier even when attacking. Anja's long face, angled torso, and tail that's just out of reach turn him into a huge chore even when compared to tougher monsters.

This, really. Tobi's a fuck.

I always bow Anja or use GS. I do kind of feel like he moves too much. But it's nowhere near as bad as both diablos.

I have to agree with this but those insta kill QTEs suck ass especially when the game takes away your medals for them.

Is there any reason to use anything but weakness exploit, handicraft, and attack boost with dual blades?

>that female hunter

Better question. How do I git gud at Kirin? I always get halfway through the fight and he pulls a bullshit lightning move that is like 3 miles wide and can't avoid

Tobi is easy as fuck, where does this meme come from

He is a pretty standard fight for me, out of 9 fights against him I was only carted twice on the first or second fight thanks to a filthy tobi kadashi, the only fight against him that was truly hard was when I fought him yesterday to test my controller, analog stops working at randon so I got hit more than usual. I think the "bullshit monster" is really relative to your playstyle, I can't fucking stand Rathalos but love fighting Anja, Odo and Diablos.

Bring a gun, if you haven't the materials to even make a fully upgraded ore gun: try blind luck. Kirin's lightning bolts strike in a 6 foot radius around it seemingly at random and when it buffs itself your attacks will bounce off all but it's head, making melee very unappealing for that encounter.

Azure Rathalos and generally some of the later Monsters are this but 4 times worse. They somehow made 4u look good in that regard.

Sauce?

Hit and run tactics. Go for draw attacks, maybe a follow up hit if your weapon is fast enough, then sheathe and back off. Critical draw and quick sheath are obviously desirable skills for this.
Just play it slow and cautious.

Same, fuck that aids horse and his stun-kill lighting spreethat if lucky, normally its one shot

>I think the "bullshit monster" is really relative to your playstyle
I can't stress this enough. I'm a hammer main and my buddy is a gunlance main. When we went up against kirin he had an extremely rough time of it, carted twice in the first few minutes, several close calls afterward. Meanwhile I had absolutely no trouble and hardly got hit.
Then we got to diablos and it just absolutely pushed my shit in, while he blocked basically everything and was always poised to shell its asshole.

DUDE WIND LMAO

specifically the armstrong you fight in the jetstream sam dlc

>AOEs and grabs all have tracking
>his moves can randomly break through parries
>horrendous hit boxes on his charge attacks

platinum thought letting you start again with him at 50% health whenever you died somehow made up for this

Wait until you fight him in the desert and you'll see the problem is the clusterfuck that is Ancient Forest.

Kushala daora is without a doubt the worst monster I have ever had to fight in this series. LITERALLY what were they thinking, especially combined with that shitty new stumbling/trembling status effect

>thinking anything is hard in MHWorld

>haha look at me I’m so good at the game :^)

Literally shut the fuck up

Whatcha huntan?

Favorite map? Mine is Coral Highlands, I like the irony of a map made out of corals yet has the least bodies of water than any other, including a fucking desert

Seething

He's a pain in the ass, yeah. Most of his moves have these long, drawn out animations where he's just covering crazy ass distances. It's a pain in the ass to have to constantly sheath just to be able to keep up with him.

The hitbox on his upward stream of breath is complete bullshit, but everything else isn't all that bad.

As long as you avoid his flame breath, you should be good.

piscine wyverns

not broken, just boring as hell

It's self-preservation. Cognitive dissonance hurts

Yup. Even worse that they made a mud version of Lavasioth and called it an new monsters. It looks literally identical to it.

You guys are forgetting there are people on this board who don't even bother with mechanics, and still think they should be spending time on a thinly-veiled r34 video games blog.

These people don't eat food before missions.
The whetstone to them is just the thing they accidentally use when they tried to heal in the middle of a monsters combo, and it totally killed them, and this game is bullshit!
They get fucked up because they never look at resistances, aren't preparing for the fight (which is a huge part of this game), or just button mash.
These people are testing your video games, they live in your home, and they're trying to influence you!

I have a Two investigation with a 15min limit. Tried putting together a set to do this but he still timed out on me.

Advice? I was running watershotIII with rathalos armor set that lets me ignore arrow deflection, has weakness exploit, and some constitution.

>most strong
Damn user, if you play as good as your vocabulary I pity you.
Also I am assuming you've already unlocked the ability to bypass the level in armor enhancements and have an armor total of around 600-900 right? I hope so...

Teo.

I fucking hate autocorrect.

The entirety of that game's UI design is pretty bad. Also, Astera is bad.

>it’s another “never equipping windproof again after this” episode

>I don't like it so its poor design
>I know because I read it in the Game Design Bible

Typical

have fun with the 2 tempered ones later.. hehehe

i actually shit on this cunt first time with a longsword. Elderseal helps.. kinda, also his set is pretty good for ice weapons like the legiana stealer. which rapes diablos' with ease

I'm in the process of building a blast attack dual blade set with the Bazelgeuse blades. I'm doing a lot more damage than what I was doing with a typical weakness exploit dual blades build, but the weapons have the shittiest sharpness so I have to stop and sharpen every 30 seconds.

What the fug

Anja is one of the first skill checks in the game. Key is to know when he's enraged and use the special slinger ammo he drops since he retreats more often than other monsters. Also if you're willing to smash his legs for a bit and break them, they become a weak spot. This will be a nice safe spot to whale on him but you waste some time doing shitty damage to get it.

How surprising! Another complete shitter using the words "game design" to justify his lack of skill!

They were thinking you might have to unequip the cookie cutter WE build you ripped off youtube and actually strategize and prepare for once
I build special sets for most elder dragons
For kush literally bring earplugs and a poison/elderseal weapon to nullify his black wind, windproof optional
gg ez

Go back to playing Minecraft.

>weak points are all dangerous
Boo hoo, too fucking bad. I'm sorry you can't have free damage, OP.

anjanath have to be the gayest monster yet im hr 102

Dunning Krueger effect.

>Bring flash pods
>Bring flashbugs


Kushala Daora is actually the easiest elder dragon. It poses zero threat since you can constantly shoot it out of the sky. You're just trash and probably didn't realize that.

and this is why you carry flashbombs.

fucking hell, Good chance OP is just a troll but its cus fag's like this are out there that MHW is to easy

>They brought back Lavasioth and even made a mud version
>not just bringing back Agnaktor and making a mud Royal Ludroth

It's a bait term with a totally mysterious definition. No one knows the person's skill level or threshold for supposed "clunkiness", nor what specific facet of combat they measure on a scale of clunky. It really took over when people started trolling the shit out of witcher fans with it. The combat for that game isn't really clunky as much as it is shallow because the most optimal way to survive encounters becomes obvious early on.

Don't forget
>Arbitrary hitbox when walking

you're are going to enjoy both diablos, if you ever reach the point were you can hunt them

this desu

Redditor Alert

Don't lock on

The trex is pretty stupid, but Kusha is even more retarded.

He was a freaking pussy in the older games and now hes completely different. It's pretty stupid.

>Having trouble with Anja

I can't believe a person this fucking bad at video games exists. If you think he is hard, just give up on Monster Hunter in general. MH World is the most casual friendly game in the series. If you can't even beat Anja on low rank you might as well just give up entirely.

>hitbox twice the size of his body
>lingers behind him for ages

Literal Plesi tier.

Easiest is Vaal

>swaxe
my nigga, you got sum gud taste

What are the stats like on Beetle's Swaxe? I made the Teo one recently because I had the parts so I'm wondering if it's worth "switching" to that one.
As for weapon, Hammer and SnS are my current favorites, maybe one of those could work for you. Although if you're bogged down in the Bazel grind, get Odoggo's gun and turn your brain off.

Anja's fine, don't get me started on Rathalos on the other hand. This asshole straight up refuses to stay on the ground for more than a minute and you better pray he doesn't just decide to fuck off and fly away every time you spot him. Happened to me twice in a row on a
15 minute investigations. I've only reached the point in the game where you off zorah, but I already know I never want to deal with this red cunt again

Flash pods and flash bugs, me boy
Anything that flies is a joke now

lmao writing a paragraph into this obvious bait thread.

all you people are getting btfo LMAOO
