The Monster Hunter Thread: A Whole New World

Whenever I played with hammer, gs or cb users in my group I rolled my paralyze db set.

Either the monster had stars above its head, was tripped up or paralyzed. Once you get that coordination down shit is glorious.

I read that in Morgan Freeman’s voice, for some reason…

I used to main a heavy bowgun in MH3U for multiplayer. The reason is that I’d get walloped by my teammates so it was the only way for me to deal any DPS. I got pretty good at, I’d come in and shoot a teammate with health ammo when they barely had a sliver of health left. I think this time I wanna try the switch axe, shit looks dope as hell

Friends and I killed Rathalos sub 10 minutes today. Felt pretty damn good.

I FINALLY KILLED RATHALOS SOLO WITH THE BOW.

FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAH

Man, that shit was hard as fuck, but I gotta say, I really learned how to use the bow.

Man I feel GOOD

Having lots of fun with this game! If I can’t have PSO…

Are you able to get different looking weapons, like a different looking model of a heavy bowgun. Or are these it for the weapon skins?

Armor and Weapons are the lifeblood of the game. There’s literally hundreds to choose from, each with their own look and set of skills.

Anyone fought the Nergigante (the big dragon in the post game screen)? I’ve had people tell me that it’s in the Wildspire Wastes but haven’t seen anyone fight it.

I used to main Switch Axe. They’ve changed it a lot, it has new finishing moves and a new meter to build but the bread and butter downslash, upslash is gone. I found a lot of the time I was doing downslash, sidestep, downslash instead of bothering with the combos.

I’ll probably just play Lance now. I used to use Lance as well.

Charge Blade is still broke btw.

Apparently something called a Pukei Pukei is also in the Ancient Forest but has strict spawn requirements? Dunno for sure

I’ve seen footage of this (and the Nergigante) from older builds, but nothing from the beta. I wonder if they’re even actually in it, or if people are just assuming they are based on old footage.

I think it was the latter, sadly, as there would definitely be footage by now.

How is the framerate stutter for everyone else? I did have some stuttering here and there and I was not a big fan of it. Otherwise, everything about this game is A+. The gunlance and LS feel just as good as always and hitting monsters feels soo… MEATY.

I cannot wait for this game. My expectations for monster count are pretty high too, considering how many monsters XX had. With a release as big as this coming as a triple A title I doubt they’d hold back and later release a monster hunter world U…so I’ll just be optimistic and hope for no less than 30 large monsters. And fucking give me lagiacrus.

I only notice frame rate stutter from a distance. The monsters move like animatronics when seen from afar.

Mine was somewhat random. Jaggrass stuttered quite a bit, but fighting the anginath went really smooth.

Also, anginath is fucking cool. I think seeing his flamethrower attack was the moment that truly made me think ā€œthis is some next gen shitā€

Pukei Pukei seems to be a rare random spawn that takes the place of Great Jagras or Rathalos since only 3 large monsters can be present in a map at once. I’m not sure if it only spawns during the Anjanath mission or not, but I looked for it with a friend in the Great Jagras mission and we never found one.

Nergigante was not present in this build it seems, as it is an older build than the recent demos at recent events. It was present at the Playstation Experience build.

This game is crack! Why do so many great games have to be coming out at the same time!!! I have to buy this, DBFZ, Sfvae is free at least… ufc3 and Soul Calibur 6 later… maaannnnnnn

The Lance has always been good but powerguard is insane. You can use it to survive things that would normally break your guard like a tunnelling Diablos.

You can also use a full power counter strike straight from it. If you’re dexterous you can do R2, circle, X, circle in reasonably quick succession to lay hurt directly on a Monster through whatever they’re attempting.

The new gunlance shot is sick. The explosion is so strong you literally go flying backwards. I also love the new sword swings they added to it and the reloadable blade. Thing is too satisfying to use. Nothing like stopping a raging Barroth dead in its tracks with that shield.

Gunlance is pretty good but nothing is more satisfying for me than knowing a Monster’s moveset so well I can do perfect parries. Also the charge into leaping mount from the regular Lance has always been baller.

Gunlance does feel better this time around. It will be interesting once we find out more about gear, like we don’t really know if Evade lancing is still a thing.
