Played the demo, it looks like a 3ds game.

Because it is one, retard.

lots of monsters
can get hard as hell

Most content out of any monhun but an absolute fucking chore to get started. 4 Ultimate is way better.

Wish it wasn't stuck on 3DS for the most part. How does it run on Citra now?

Pretty good just make sure you to learn how to use item sets from the box.

The largest monster hunter game, with deviants instead of subspecies

GU has Valstrax, aka the best monster in Monster Hunter history in terms of fight and design, so yes it is indeed the best MH game just because of that.

>absolute fucking chore to get started
how so?

It does have subspecies too though. Silver/Gold Raths, Raging Brachy, and Chaotic Gore are all in the game.

All of GUs new monster additions are pretty good, and it offers people the choice of sticking to guild and playing as if they were in 4U if all the anime makes them sick.
The real problems of GU are the work required for deviant armor sets and the immense quest and request bloat that hides a large amount of armors and weapons behind chains and chains of hidden quests.

Raging is more of a Variant tho, same as SSRajang and Hungry Joe
And Chaotic is a Gore gone wrong
So yeah, only the silver and gold as the mandatory subspecies in G-games

A far smaller number than before, I'd argue raging brachydios is a pretty distinct fight and capcom have a hard-on for raths so those shits are always going to be in.
The subspecies issue was far worse in 4U.

Ahtal-Ka is a better fight than Valstrax.

Did you start with World?
If the answer is Yes I wouldn't bother. If your answer is No then go ahead. It's my favorite though 4U is also 10/10 and I can see why some purists don't like the styles and arts

save your sanity and just skip all the gathering quests.

Ahtal is a cool fight but it feels like I barely got to fight it and experience its moveset before it died, and the mecha bit is pretty one dimensional.

It's a game from 3ds in hd.
It's bad after 4u, cause 4u already had lots of monsters from 2nd gen. Gen ultimate ahas about 10 new monsters, while 4u has like 15 or something, while one is an all star mash up game, while 4u is a "completely" new game. I blame 4u here, not genu.

Shut up. You probably like Khezu

4u subs are the bests actually, since they actually feel distinct from the good ol' "faster, stronger lul"
of 2 and 3
but yeah, i prefer variants and deviants to subspecies

But that's basically the same as my fights with Valstrax. He stabs, he shoots, he sweeps, he rockets. And he's got so many breakable parts that it's over as soon as it begins. With Ahtal-Ka at least you've got a duel boss against her while the triumphant main theme plays, hunter to hunter.

Khezu is fine, but only if you're a gunner or have Earplugs. Otherwise screamspam is annoying.

4U had some absolute fuckin stinkers
>black gravios
>ruby basarios
>purple gypceros
>red khezu
>black diablos
and probably a whole slew of other subspecies that make me fall asleep when considered "content", honestly I think it might be harder for me to think of a monster in 4U that doesn't have a subspecies.

>Khezu is fine
Don't reply to me ever again

I liked it. Make sure to look up what the key quests are on 3 through 5 star rank, because those have a fuck ton of filler quests

Way to ignore the qualifier, you illiterate jackass.

>that guy that throws a paint ball at Gammoth.
Gee thanks user, we would have lost it without you

On average I think deviants have waaay more effort put into them subspecies, and even if you went with the "they are just DIFFERENT subspecies" then they would still be better by the virtue of not being the ones we've already hunted a million times.

IM HELPING

How does this compare to FU and 3U? Been having a MH itch and World didn't really do it for me

GenU (and 4U) can be called a straight upgrade from FU with new mechanic (and loss of Yama and Gaoren, RIP)
3U is the black sheep of the bunch with the underwater combat. Still is extremely fun tho. Warning: 3U 3ds cant go online without a WiiU, so ready to farm alone if you dont have 1
overall, all of them are great classic monhan

FU is an unpolished piece of shit in this day and age, some people really swear by it though and it does have a lot of content.
like 60% of the monsters in 3U are subspecies and a lot of people really hate swimming.

OP I was in your boat. World was my first MH and I got bored after ~200 hours since grinding for decorations to autistically min/max gets dull after a while, and the difficultly scaling for AT monsters isn't fun. GU has enough content to keep you satisfied for a long time. Just go look at the variety in weapons and armor. There's so much shit and most of it looks way cooler than World. Plus you can play it in bed so it's an instant win.

I played 3u on 3ds and it was my first 3rd gen game (didn't have a wii and didn't care for played portable 3rd with bad fan translation), and not sure which one i like more 3rd game on 4th. As i said before, i hate that 4u has so much old monsters, but only in universe where an "all star" gen exists. I like 3 also cause of more realistic maps (as far as monhun games could be realistic) and more dinosaur like monsters. Swimming as also okay, you get used to it, it's not like all monsters you fight in water, ceadeus, abyssal lagi are the only water only monsters. Lagiacrus, ludroth, gobul, plesitoth are the only water monsters..

>are the only water monsters..
I meant they are water/surface fights

This might sound weird but I actually liked hunting for relic weapons and fighting apex monsters in 4U's endgame. Does mHX have similar endgame content?

The beginning is such a slog to get through because of the hand holdy tutorial that isnt really handholdy just boring.

So many gathering quests no joke at least 1-2 hours worth

On top of that, the early quests are super boring, tedious. It just takes forever to get into the meat of it

Everyone loved expeditions, but XX does not have those. You have Super Deviants though

No there is no RNG tied to endgame, you mostly just hunt max level deviants and get lost in all the fuckin armor you can make.

but then the water/surface mons just love to jump back into the water, so i doesnt really matter
i dont mind it, since i main GL, but yeah a lot of people REALLY hate those fight with their choice of weapon
Not counting the fact that Dire Miralis is such a chore, godness
3rd gen has those of the best designed monsters ever, yet suffered from a lot of questionable gameplay choices

Super Deviants will tear you a new one if that's what you are asking.

>everyone loved expeditions
I dunno bout that man

Did you miss how streamlined World is? Is it hard to go back to classic MH?

Do you need Nintendo's paid online to play multiplayer?

In that case, would you recommend a male or female hunter for the fashion endgame

>love to jump back into the water
Depends on the monster. I would say lagi is half water/half surface, ludroth is more of a land monster, gobul is more water, plesioth as well.
I was maining great sword as i always did. First made the gunner cause i thought that water fights were much easier that way, but being a gunner in single player only, is too timeconsuming.
>Dire Miralis is such a chore
He's not a chore because of water though, but because he's just a slow large fatalis that barely hits you. I even wanted to make armor and weapons out of him but i need some other rare monster parts, so i didn't,

Yes sadly, if you have a 3ds you can hack it with the English patch to play the game online for free or just emulate and netplay with people

if you don't have another friend or two picking up at the same exact time as you to constantly play with it doesn't hold a candle to World

A lot more shit, from weapon variety to monsters to maps to music.
Also dont be afraid to look up key quests unless you enjoy doing hours of gathering quests, one of the few things World did right was show you plainly what to do to advance.

better because small monsters aren't trying to murder you all the fucking time

fuck genpreys, fuck bullfangos and fuck cephalos

It's great compared to World.

That seems extremely subjective, I usually find the male options way more varied though. The female ones seem to focus way too much on being cute and feminine a lot of the time.

in GU? male hands down, and that's coming from the guy who almost always play female
A lot of female sets are just ... weird, esp Glavenus or final boss
Mizu and G-Barioth female sets are top tier tho, as usual

>Everyone loved RNG bullshit hunts
Fuck off, I hated it espeically when I see some chucklefuck with a super weapon that I can't get because LOL MMO drop system.
Apex was actual artificial difficulty too

I don't care about inflated health and attack shit because that's commonplace end tier monster hunter anyway, but the having to sharpen repeatedly just to do damage to the monster made me want to kill myself.

at least they acknowledged and kinda fixed it with Hyper and Deviant
Not so sure about ATs tho. those fuck are just inflated stat sticks

I just picked up MHGU, it's my first MH and I'm only 4 hours in. Can't compare it to anything, but it's fun :^)

ATs have different mechanics or moves with their fights, they're more like G monsters, but they usually add cancerous aoe shit out the ass or more dots on top of whatever the monster already had
Make sure to look up key quests to see what to do next unless you really like gathering quests

If I skip all the fluff quests and autistic collecting and just do key quests how quickly can I beat this game?

Depends on your definition of beat. If you're just talking about getting to the end of the singleplayer storyline it'll probably be about 20-25 hours if you're good and don't stop to grind, more realistically 40-50 hours if you're new.
If you're talking all the shit in the game, ie. unique fights and content, it'll take you hundreds of hours to even fight a deviant diablos which is super endgame shit.

What cancerous shit they will add to Master rank ATs, i wonder
>Glav's tail slams now explode
>Narga's windslashes
well shit, they can just bundled Deviants' moveset into ATs, and tune it up a notch

Yeah I just meant single player story mode. Didn't realize it would be that short, interesting.

That's just an approximation mind you, and its just going through the mandatory stuff and skipping the vast majority of the games content, monster hunter games have pretty much all their meat and bones in the side content and post game

Village quests in the old games are basically extended tutorials.

If only we could play GU at 60fps

Busted as fuck, easy as hell, if you're a world bab it might seem hard at first because its a bit older

I just wished they brought the insect subspecies. I would have love to fight shrouded nescy and desert seltas in GU
