The Monster Hunter Thread: A Whole New World

I mean, honestly a lot of weapons have that one REALLY satisfying thing though.

One of the reasons I Will never be able to play dual blades. They feel so dinky to me.
Spirit slash combo and wyvern fire all day for me baby. I want to main GL this time around but I’m also interested in the insect glaive.i just have 0 experience with it but I felt like darth maul with it the 5 minutes I tried it out…which is good.

Dual Swords can be dinky but they are killer for status affliction. Dual Swords that can cause paralysis is cheap af.

They don’t feel that dinky in this game IMO. Even they got a big style thing with the jump Tri. in Demon mode. That said, I do agree DB isn’t AS meaty as the rest, but I mean, that’s to be expected I suppose. Even SnS has some real meaty stuff lol

Finally ran into the Pukei Pukei today. It jumped in during the 3rd quest in the Ancient Forest while my group was fighting the Aljanath. Group mostly ignored it though.

SnS has always been pretty good because of using items from the draw. All of those quick weapons are good for abusing the weaknesses of certain monsters too.

Yeah, I was talking about the falling shield bash though

Pukei too cute to ignore. Especially when it’s carrying an egg…

Or is that the other thing?

That’s Kulu-Ya-Ku that carries the egg/rock

Twice now I’ve gotten into groups where we’re able to take down Diabolos before killing the Barroth and completing the quest.

No such luck with Rathalos though, shit just takes up so much time, especially when it flies off and you end up having to chase it around the trees.

Rathalos has always been a fight where you want a gunner with the right ammo.

Once it comes down you can generally go to town on it with anything but the flying is a pain in the ass.

So the second online beta is over. I missed it, but can we at least still play the demo on single player mode, or is the whole demo defunct now? I can’t find out for myself cuz I’m not getting home till nightfall today.

Didn’t find any during demo, but do they still have that animation where the legs are pumping like the Rath is trying to run as it falls from the sky? That always made me chuckle.

I don’t know, I haven’t hunted it in the demo really. I remember shocking it out of the sky and focusing the tail when it’s on the ground being the best strat though.

For the vets what do you think the best new move is?

Switch Axe looks dope as hell but my pick is the Lance power guard. Let’s you block things that would normally knock you off your feet. That’s going to be huge, especially if Evade lancing is dead.

Gunlance harpoon explosion hands down. Gl is going to be straight bonkers with its dps strings.

Finally got Rathalos, on the very last run before the beta ended. We didn’t even kill Anjanath after because the beta was ending (though it actually didn’t log us out).

No, there is no demo, just the beta, and now that it’s over you can’t select anything from the menu aside from the PS Store basically

My personal favorite moment from this last beta.

We’d actually done enough damage that just putting bombs on it sleeping was enough to kill it.
