The Monster Hunter Thread: A Whole New World

I’m glad they got rid of those little ooga-booga-looking fuckers as partners from 3. I’m not easily offended but that seemed a little racist (and Japan is kinda dumb on what is considered offensive to american minorities. Not their fault, though). Cats are MUCH cooler…although I think it would be cool to incorporate some human-sized tribal cats as well with different stats than human hunters, and perhaps different weapon sets (predator-style wrist blades, spears, big bladed boomerangs for melee and throwing, blade-edged shields for defense AND offense, the ability to command palicoes Galford/Poppy-style, etc). “Jaguardians”, perhaps?

I never even noticed Cha-Cha and Kayamba were anything other then midgets. I was just too salty that those fuckers wouldn’t heal me when I needed.

Goku’s hair is actually in Monster Hunter now lol

Yea. Had to use it. Too stronk to resist.

This land shark morherfucker is annoying.

He’s not really that hard, but goddamn don’t let him go into the sand.

Trying to make the full armor set with insect staff from this guy. When the hell do I get to make a badass Gunlance tho?

Running the pumpkim set with Bow. Getting Focus in Village 2 is no joke. Absolutely melting everything that’s not a Niblesnarf because fuck that guy.

A niblesnarf? Shit sounds like an annoying space creature. “There’s too many fucking niblesnarfs!”

Be lucky it’s not the T. Zamtrois.

Trying out the demo. I’m mad they took out Shield Thrust for Charge Blades.

Well he is annoying as fuck so there is that.

Progressed a lil further, can’t say I like the new upgrade system for armos. It removes a bit of the grind for Armor Spheres, but you burn through other resources a bit too fast.

Ok, so I’m starting to do some HR3 quests for the Hunter’s Guild now, and I’ve definitely found my new favorite monster so far.

Truly beautiful in design, and he’s actually pretty fun to fight. Doesn’t hurt that his armor set looks utterly badass too, so I’m working towards making the full set. Just have to farm for some annoying ass components like Lightcrystals and Champion’s Crests. Doing these quests solo with the gear I’m stuck with is NOT a pretty site.

Having a lot of fun with this one. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they brought back some of the Freedom Unite villages! You can essentially make any one of them your main hub, I like that you have a choice instead of getting the usual one village. They also brought back a TON of the older maps from various games. That was a really nice touch.

Weapon Arts are really adding a lot of depth to the game as well, and getting me to try weapons I never would’ve thought to touch.

Malfestio is a really cool monster. The confusion is annoying as hell though.

So it’s actually an improvement over 4U

Performance is a no, but everything else is a yes.

This Generations n3DS XL is SO sexy. I’d advise anyone to pick it up if the opportunity presents itself.

You can get 100% affinity sets in Low Rank… That’s cool.

If I remember right, that’s a generic name given to monsters little kids say are hiding under the bed or in the closet.

I hope for an MH with EVERYTHING from the previous games someday: all the monsters big and small, all the maps and all the towns. For some reason, I also want it on a portable.

Except Plesioth. Keep that fucker FAR away from these games.

OK! Yeah, that. Let me rephrase: NEARLY everything and NEARLY every monster. Fuck undersea battles and sandship battles.

I would if I could duplicate my account on the second 3dsXL so I can continue without starting over on either system, but I’m happy with my old one from last year. If only we could get some damn MHG faceplates of the system colors (NA version, euro version, and the Japanese blue-to-red color scheme), though.
