The Monster Hunter Thread

Hara:

Something happened to me yesterday. Something so wild and unnatural that I would have never believed it was possible.

I always joked about the Dizziness effect in MH. It’s like, that is SO Capcom. You can tell that the devs who made this had Street Fighter on the brain. I just didn’t know how obsessed they could get.

A monster fucking Combo’d me.

I couldn’t finish the Khezu urgent quest, so I went into the Training hall to practice. I equipped the bowgun and went off to fight it. I was doing very well; fighting it from a distance without ever being hit. But then it went into dickmode. Khezu Thunder Hopped me and knocked my ass on the ground, did a Rage Roar while I was getting up to stun me, and then pulled out his Blanka-like “Thunder Shield”. I had not one chance to get up, and he managed to take away all of my HP.

Oh you finally got combo’d by a monster? You’re going to see a lot of that the more you play MH. Khezu combos are pretty tame in comparison to a lot of BS in the game That’s why weapons that can block, and skills like Earplug/HGE are so useful. You simply do NOT go into some fights as a gunner without earplug/HGE unless you have a fascination with the kitty cart.

Daddyneptune · May 14, 2009, 10:45am

It looks so good man. I can’t wait to get on that.

supreme_jd · May 14, 2009, 12:27pm

this series looks pretty cool. do you guys play it online?

Sleazoid · May 14, 2009, 12:32pm

I used to play on XLink, but I lost interest pretty quickly since 1) it lagged 2) a lot of people online were morons/leechers/flashers 3) I got the feeling I would become one of them if I kept playing online

…Monster Hunter at Evo?

KORYNTHYAN · May 14, 2009, 3:25pm

I just saw that too a few minutes ago. Damn, some of the new monsters are awesome looking! I’m actually
pretty excited for this game on the mother fucking Wii! Tah.

New Monster Hunter 3 screens

9 new shots got put up

Bomberman · May 18, 2009, 9:19pm

I wonder if importing Monster Hunter 3 is a good idea or not. The local multiplayer will definitely make up for not wanting to go through the trouble (due to being from a different region and it costing money) of getting online with it.

rocky t-rex boss looks like an asshole

i sure am gonna miss all of the old bosses when they’re gone…

TheRedCyclone · May 22, 2009, 7:26am

i downloaded the demo today and this is my first time playing monster hunter. so is it just me or does it take awhile to kill these monsters? i’ve chased this guy across 3 areas so far. is that normal? i’m also using the hammer if that matters.

d0c_zaius · May 22, 2009, 7:51am

It’s normal to chase them around a couple of areas. Usually when they are going to die they go through some animations to let you know then fly back to a spot to rest.
