The Monster Hunter Thread: A Whole New World

Ugh… fk u console plebs. I will wait patiently…

I just got told work will be half day today. Boy am I lucky.

I can’t even concentrate. All im thinking about is killing me some monsters.

getting this game tomorrow

I’m still waiting for my copy to come in. Hopefully it’ll get here after I’m done with my second shift at work.

Mad tempted to grab this so the special quests for the HZD stuff and Megaman stuff limited time only? Either way watching streams of this seems like a lot of fun.

I’m just chilling here drinking a six pack and playing.

What a beautiful day.

IT’S TIME…

Yep I’m gaming hard all weekend.

I heard PSN is down…

…I got it for XBONE too. First time I’ve ever done that. Playing with old friends who for whatever reason all bought XBONEs instead of PS4s. Thought it’d be common sense by now to get PS4 if you’re only getting one.

Yo WHAT THE FUCK THIS GAME IS AMAZING

Got this and dbfz…dbfz just sitting on the bed, still in wrap. Hey, any way to move Target cam from R3 to the traditional L1?

Every hour or so I find myself saying that.

Yes, go to the options, then settings, then camera

So hard walking past the BIC Camera in Ikebukuro seeing all them copies of the game and knowing I can’t play until after Evo.

Fuck the GL I’m becoming a CB main. This weapon is oodles of poodles of doodles of fun. I might also try out the insect glaive, never got the chance to do so.

Btw tobi kadachi is a cool fucking monster.

I’m loving it.

It’s more casual friendly with crafting and the changes to tracking, Whetstones etc. But I can’t complain. The environments are crazy detailed and it’s as addictive as ever.

My only complaint is all the first timers that don’t even know a third of their weapons movesets but it’s not a big deal. We’re nowhere near G quests or Elder Dragon hunts yet.

I don’t blame them for that because the weapon tutorials are piss poor. You are not given the full movesets in them.

First Monster Hunter game. In training mode now. Digging the Sword-Axe.

You mean the SWITCHAXE you fffffucking noob.
:wink:
It was my main weapon in mh3. It’s loads of fun. It was also slightly broken in that game, I wonder if it’s more balanced now??

I played a solid 9 hours today and I loved every second of it. I wouldn’t say the game has been made more casual friendly. It’s just eliminated some obsolete, tedious mechanics that were never really fun or engaging to begin with. The fights are still as hard as ever and anjanath was OHKOing me with his fire lazor.
Also yea the tutorials are ass. Nowhere did it tell me about the red shield or elemental enhanced sword mechanics for the CB. And they’re both real fucking important.

I don’t like it. The best thing about it was the precision up/down/up/down combo which is gone. Instead it has a kind of rage into a finisher but it was never about the finisher. The finisher was about abusing elemental weaknesses, the rest of the time you’d stagger the monster and transition into wild swing spam. Honestly the more I’ve used it the new Switch Axe feels like a worse version of the Longsword.
