The Monster Hunter Thread: A Whole New World

The handheld games in the series blow the shit out of the console versions doe…

it all boils down to this:

“portable sucks because i like playing games at home on a TV with a real controller”

“console sucks because i like being able to play games without having to be at home”

it’s all preference

getting back to monster hunter, i am looking forward to a game where long swords possibly don’t suck again. they’ve been bad for two versions in a row now? (three if you count MH4)

LS didn’t suck in 3U. I mean, it wasn’t as broken as before, but it was a fairly good weapon. The new additions to it’s moveset in 4 were pretty amazing, but the Spirit bar nerf completely killed.

Thankfully it’s back to good in Generations.

To wait for this or to cop that refurbished fire emblem black/white 3ds off of gamestops website.

New 3ds don’t come with chargers so there’s that…

i like that it’s slightly different from the JP limited edition mhx 3ds, but only slightly.

unfortunately the loopy controller mod currently doesn’t work on new3ds, so i’ll pass.

Got it…looks like graphics took slight hit, but special effects are MUCH better and flashier. It feels more streamlined. Looks like they may have removed the ability to strike, shield stab, super/ultra strike with charge blade, as well as removed or really nerfed demon mode with dual blades.

Bow got massive buffs. All bows now have Power and Arc Shot. Adept Bow only looses the shitty Arc shot in exchange for a free Lvl3 Charge of the dodge. Accel Rain, which sadly isn’t in the demo, ups movespeed and charges arrows faster. Ima Hawkeye the shit outta this game now.

SnS has the hilariously OP oils (Mind’s Eye for +30% affinity and Exhaust/KO that causes every single hit to deal KO damage) and seems to work well in all styles, with Aerial having the coolest shit avaliable.

30fps locked is sad, but it’s not unbearable. Not like 4U couldn’t ever hit 60 anyway.

if you play the game on a 3ds with a capture card installed, the video output is pretty close to nonstop 60fps. i don’t know why that is, it just is.

60fps on the receiving pc, or on the actual 3ds screen?

the PC. the 3ds stays at whatever low fps it normally does.

which is why it’s so perplexing that it happens, if it were a matter of the 3ds not being beefy enough to do 60fps why does it show up 60fps on the PC?

Monster Hunter Generations x Strider


Cause the output can be handled by the computer? lol I dunno, fuk nintendo

Fuck, I need that Strider costume. It’s probably gonna be garbage like the Metroid/Zelda ones in 4U.

Is the MH in July a good starting point? I’ve never played a monster hunter game hit I’ve played games of the same genre and really enjoyed them.

And do I need to consistently be with a party online to get the full enjoyment? Cause I really don’t play online that often with anything.

4’s a good starting point. This new game is like 4 but in different settings and with different monsters (and flashier special effects, and specials). Get 4 now for warmup and to learn basics, then catch up with Generations when it drops.
