Monster Hunter Thread

It's because you're going back in time from now instead of from the distant past to 2004.

For the time, only really Zelda and PC RPGs like Gothic and TES were offering something like Monster Hunter, and the whole setting being built like this is just day-to-day life for people living in little isolated villages protected by the few badasses who go at wyverns and raptors with 200lb swords was both comfy and cool as fuck.

I wanted nothing more than a true open world Monster Hunter the first time I played Oblivion after it.

Already confirmed to not be in Iceborne. She's HR only. You can use MR materials to upgrade the weapons but that's it.

Yeah, I heard about that version.

I was showing my friend who's first MH was world (mine was FU) and he fails to see how the series took off lol.

>GS and Lance somehow more satisfying.
I can see how they would be, especially the GS.

It was amazing. I'm currently replaying it on PSP. What I really like about it is the freedom they had as developers because it's a really unique game. 6th gen was peak gaming.

PSP versions don't count

I love how it's all grounded in the setting.

Fatalis looks like a demon dragon from hell, but no he just looks that way. He's super powerful, but runs on the same rules as any other monster.

And the ecology videos are awesome. Remind me of Walking with Dinosaurs.

MH honestly didn't get good until P3rd/3U.

lol what a fucking boomer nostalgiafag

Why is Luna such an awful horribly designed fight? Why does it play like an 8 year old was like "whoa and like what if she had wind pressure and also fire ticks and a tiny head hitbox and super fast attacks and those attacks had massive hitboxes and a super that does all those things at the same time and..."

I know about the weapon upgrades but where was it confirmed she won’t have any MR presence at all?

Best random buy ever. Also I remember rathalos being my first wall because my dumb strat with the GS involves using the infinite swipe combos between its feet.
>GS and Lance somehow more satisfying
This so much, especially with the lance. You push the analog stick up to THRUST.

Remember, monsters are our friends, NOT our wives.

I doubt new skeletons will be in Iceborne, they’re a smaller team than the base game team. Expect Leviathans and Fanged Beasts to return in MH6.

It was good at the time because we didn't know any better.

what is the base team doing right now?

Because it's easy to hit the Cephs and Dia/Mono barely stay underground anymore.

Dia/Mono, Plesioth, and Khezu were all fucking cunts back in the first game who WOULD stall you out in areas you couldn't go as much as they could.

Tried the PS2 original once for like 10 minutes, the controls were so wack I had to quit

Somehow the never managed to make a better intro than MH1 and MH Freedom 1 by extension

Unknown at the moment, like usual they’re probably working on the next game considering the post launch content for World was most likely near complete at the end of development anyway with Deviljho, Kulve and Lunastra, or wouldn’t require the whole team like ATs or the crossovers.

Back in the day people would try to learn a game's controls before giving up

Yo anyone know a way I can clone the character edit voucher on PC? What would I try doing on cheat engine?

I get what you mean but I think it's good to go back and play older games when a series hooks you.

I started with Persona 4 and now I've played every PS2 and 3DS/DS Megaten game and appreciate the series much more.

But then again, they are literally the same monsters. I guess you wouldn't be able to get the same feeling of escalation from fighting your first Yian Kut-Ku in MH1 if you've killed dozens in other games.

>people that do AT fights before doing the normal version of the monster

I would be real mad if the motherfucker garuga of all things get in? Seregios? Astalos? Nope, fucking garuga. What a little shit of a monster, fucking hell.

It's understandable, especially since the dev team (and new director) stated that they wanted to flesh out and balance the already existing content, and adding new weapons/monster skeletons would divert time and resources from that. Still, the new endemic life ice monkey did seem to share some of Congala's animations, but it's a far reach to assume from such a small example.

garuga is really easy if you have evasion

That's literally impossible you retard.

You have to be HR50 to access them, so it's a bit worrying if they got that far without fighting normal Nerg and the like.

I don't give a fuck if he's easy or hard. It's a fucking abomination of a shit monster, just shit like khezu.

>fight AT Luna
>faggot asks "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ATTACK" at her most basic 180 fire shot after dying to it

I don't like the Kut-Ku reskin either but Khezu is unique and cool.

You must be mad alright, but at least you didn't wish shit like Gravios.

>Gypceros
user... What the fuck is wrong with you.

Pretty sure the only ATs you can do without having fought the base form are Lunastra and Kulve.

I miss that feeling of being new to mh. When you'd get floored by kut-ku, then absolutely shitting when you first fight a rath. Playing with tools. Finding out weaknesses. Now they're just mobs. No sense of wonder or fear when you run out towards an angry mountain of monster. I wonder if first time MHW players got this feeling or if the series has legitimately changed tone.

the first monster hunter was one of the worst games you could possibly play single player. it just wasn't designed for it. problem was back then almost nobody had multiplayer capability on their PS2, and this was in an age where even DSL was cutting edge and very expensive, so most people still had 56k modems and slow shit speeds even if they did have the network adapter for their PS2.

You know a game has a super strong concept when that shit isn't enough to stop you from enjoying the fuck out of it. If you had to order them though it would certainly be the worst of the bunch simply because each game has pretty much improved on every aspect of the last one gradually. For the most part anyway, 3 was a big mis step.

I'm one of those fags who says OoT is one of the lower end 3D Zeldas because later games all built upon its foundation, but that doesn't mean people in 1997 had any problem loving it.

Something looks different
Did you change your hair?

It’ll probably still be in the New World, but depending on how long after World they set it there’ll be time for civilisation to build up there. Or they can just have increased communication with the Old World and now that there’s documentation on New World species available all those nobles and shot want foreign New World species for their private collections or so they won’t be the laughing stock of the ball again.

It was ok. What's important about it was that it's the game nearly all monster hunters up to World has taken its core assets from, and plenty of THOSE are good games. MHW is going the same route for a new generation of ManHan games.

There's just something about its clunkiness and design that makes it feel way more enjoyable than the later games, I really need to play the original Japanese one some time to see how different the two actually feel.

Lao's only crime was being too big

This was mostly me learning the hard way that being to her immediate left or right is really dangerous if I'm petulantly wearing AT Xeno armor against all better judgement for that nice set bonus

Moga is some bumfuck village in the sticks, by which I mean the middle of the goddamn ocean. Part of the reason you can go against the guild's orders to evacuate and take on ceadeus anyway is because you're so far out that they lack the means to stop you in time. Hell, even the argosy captain is late to show up and offer his support, but just gives you his sword anyway because he's cool like that. If anything the moga hunter effectively put the place on the map by expanding the farm and giving them an export besides fish.

Some of the female armor is cute. Should I use a character change ticket to stop being a gundam?

Yeah that's what made Moga so damn comfy
I see what they were going with for Astera, but it seemed like by the time the fifth fleet arrived, they'd be communicating and working with the outside world more

Why is g ranked lagiacrus such a pain?

Astera isn't comfy because it's huge and bustling. You feel less like the resident hunter and more like a cog in the machine. It's not that I want to feel special, I just want to feel at home.
Hopefully Seliana does better in that regard

Capcom HQ just got set in fire by random autist, mh iceborne is now being delayed indefinitely out of respect. Pc release date is 3020

Banbaro male armor looks damn cool, I'd at least give that a shot for a bit and then change mid expansion.

It's still pretty good and unique feeling compared to later iterations if you just get the mod that lets you play the town/online quests offline in the village. It's the only game in the series (next to maybe Freedom 1) that allows you to play without charm/decoration farming. And it's the only game to not encourage clown suiting since skills were hidden and only worked best with full sets.

Just killed Xeno'jiva, not really sure where to go from here. What armors should I grab if I'm a SnS main?

>No GS charge
This is a kind of a good thing
The charge ended up being the only attack that mattered
It was fun, but I don't miss the old GS playstyle
World's GS is the best it has ever been

You're not entirely wrong. The most standout and praised fights in the entire series are some of the easiest, yet enjoyable and straight forward. Yet the most difficult are often just frustrating relying on shitty gimmicks like instant hits (AT Nerg), bad hitboxes (Most of MHFU and even now modern Tigrex), and silly Frontier-style AOE team killers which are more brutal in solo play because there is no good way around them (monster always aggros you) except waiting them out so you can superman dive out (AT Luna and MH4U/World AT Teostra) where the only reliable way to know when to stop being offensive against them is to set up a timer to know when they'll go off.

I'd agree that world's GS is definitely a step in the right direction but they should make crit draw much better to make draw charge style still be viable against true charge spam. And perhaps they should add some effects to side and up swinging so there is a reason to use them as they are now more useless than ever because of low damage/no stopping power and no charge ability.

If I removed that Dragonator, will he die?

Well another part of it felt like they accomplished nothing until you arrive
I guess that's main character syndrome though
But upgrading your home was kind of close to that, but it was too unceremonious to feel like it meant much
Ah well, Selina should be comfy

He’s a big wyvern.

Yeah I feel the same. I'm not really a fan of glavenus either and would have preferred something like lucent narga. Given how important monster interaction is, why is qurupeco literally no where to be found? Not only does he aesthetically fit many of the areas in the game but also would serve as a much more interesting version of what bazel does because at least the invading monster would be random. In fact it would be cool if there were always an empty fourth slot for a monster that only gets filled by a qurupeco call and then it stays around for the rest of the quest or like 25 mins if in an expedition.

Wouldn’t tzi constantly blind you? Why not based kulu?

ATNerg and ATLuna were literally not play-tested with GS or Switchaxe so if you're a main of either of those weapons you're best bet is to just cheese them with Styx or something because the amount of trial and error and sheer RNG you have to go through for ATN is literally not worth the reward.

I wouldn’t mind a male version but it would have to look very different, some real dimorphism shit not just a pallet swap or a slightly different horn shape like raths and the lions

Pic related, also Kulu Ya Cute doesn't help me during hunts.

I'd choose Tobi too but accidental flashes of light are safer than accidental electrical discharges. I don't know why I'm only thinking of World monsters now, I guess it's because they're so harmless.

World was my first one. Its fun because you have to learn the back and forth combat of the monsters and the whole game and monsters have sick visuals. There should be more to fight with besides the weapon in a fight, not too much more, but opening up the grapple to everyone is a step in the right direction. Sadly it invalidates sword and shield a little. The game series needs to come into the current gen even more, but the series is actually improving.

The mid-combo Slinger shots dump all your slinger ammo, SnS is the only one that can still fire one at a time. So you can't really get good use out of your flash bombs and such with other weapons unless you put it away, unless you're okay with burning 3 at once.

I actually dont like the grappling hook that much. Sure i dont like running after the monster constantly either, but a free gap closer is just... plain weird in monhan
Maybe im just getting old

It's not really free considering you get fucked by charge hitboxes and the like just like Switch Axe's Zero Sum Discharge.

Gen 1 gets a pass because its the first. and started the franchise, but the series didn't get good until half way through gen 2, peaking with freedom unite, and the series has been on a steady up and down cycle since, and we're in a limbo where there is no 5th gen monster hunter, just spinoffs like X and World.

Why does nu-LS feel so vapid? I swear this thing controls differently compared to FU, and not for the better--like they prized speed over feedback and weight.

It's the best feeling LS so far baring XX having the better counter, I've used LS since F2.

>The charge ended up being the only attack that mattered
>World's GS is the best it has ever been
How can you say this when TCS is the only attack that matters in World?

I think you have that mixed up, none of the mid-combo slinger shots expend any more than one per shot. They are just high flinch power with a much shorter range since you just shoot the ground. The only shot that expands all ammo is the clutch claw burst that sends a monster to hit a wall. SnS just has the higher combo advantage over the others in that you can freely aim your burst shots, and can chain a strong Perfect Rush from it, but that's not saying much since other weapons can also freely continue their combos

It served as a solid proof of concept and a good foundation to build upon but these days its ancient garbage with fucked up controls a bunch of missing content because the online is shut down and the game had a ton of online only stuff. Some monsters like Kirin can't be fought anymore in that game because it was an online only monster.

Which arch tempered is the easiest to solo besides Kirin?

I get what you mean, but do we really need a pause button? Because either you do a 15min investigation or a 50 min quest and in the former it can be done in around 5min and the later you can just fast travel to base and wait or just exist and save game. You don’t need 50mins to kill a monster so if you’re busy for 20min you can easily comeback and beat it

Like I understand where the pause button people are coming from but then again it’s sorta not needed, though I wouldn’t complain if they add one in MH6 in 2020

it's a basic ass feature that they removed for 0 reason, every single MH game before World has pause

>it's really late in the US, all claps are sleeping
>little to no consolefagging
Yep, makes you think indeed

None of the games were good until World. Even World has a ton of kinks to iron out.

>Also I remember rathalos being my first wall
Wall monsters are so good. At first I struggled with kut ku in the original but then I finally got the hang of the game and beat him. Then things were pretty easygoing until rathalos where I ran into the wall again. Nothing beats the feeling of
>finally beating that wall monster
>the rush of satisfaction

Literally all of them, you never wanna do at online because random will die like there’s no tomorrow, but personally for me easiest to hardest is

Kirin
Val
Kush
Teo
Luna = Xeno (lots of aoe, but xeno is more fair)
Nergi

Zorah and Kulve aren’t worth mentioning because you have to do them online obviously and they’re basically the same fights

it depends on what you're personally comfortable with but teostra and vaal are pretty easy (although you might want some miasma decos for the latter)
kushala is ok but tests your patience a lot unless you have a strategy to cheese it

>SnS main

user i'm so sorry

We've had consolewar fags this late during the night before so i don't think that's the reason.

Nearly all blademaster sets use some variation of 4x Drachen or 3x Teo y. For the early endgame focus on getting Luna Ruin and Jho SnS, and do the Witcher DLC because Geralt's armor is extremely good for the early endgame.

>being a meta slave clown man

No fuck that, I don’t need any of that “ oh did we REALLY need it” apologist shit

Every fucking game since at least FU has a pause option when playing offline, why is it that the game that shits convenience features all over the place is lacking one of the most basic

I don’t care if World is so easy that the average console player spends almost as much time in loading screens as they do fighting monsters, sometimes a man needs to answer the damn phone

SnS is fine. Iceborne SnS is even more fine.

Absolutely based.

I'm tempted to make a male character just for that armor. Its so fucking good. If they make it so you can use layered armor of any type I may just have to.

Talk and play at the same? Don’t you have a shit bucket too? Gramps

3rd gen is comfy but duramboros has too much hp fuck him

Kirin?

Tbh I can't remember many times I ever actually paused the game, I'd always forget the button was even there since it was under another menu.
For the 3DS games I'd snap them shut if I had to go do something I guess

But you can do that :)

LOOK CLOSER, PARTNER

Hopefully soon.
They did say there is gonna be a trailer, right?

I don’t think is happening this week bud, all they said was more info the 3 or 4th and a trailer hasn’t come out yet, but they did release high quality footage of their comic con panel, so they’re probably referring to that as new info. True it’s known stuff but probably not known among casual players, so that comic con footage is new to them, the majority, so probably no trailer til gamescon

I hope I’m wrong though

>Brachy's slime molds explode with dynamite force to disperse spores
I wonder how tough are these fucks' spores. Also why the fuck does the mold only grow on brachy if those fucks EXPLODE to cover ground?

>not using full sets, complete with matching weapon

>ywn see a turf war between Duramboros and Glavenus where they both spin into one another and ricochet around the area like Beyblades

Brachydios' shell is the only place where the mold is stable and doesn't immediately start to explode or something

It'll probably be before Gamescom, we'll have a Developer Diary along with the trailer and those last like 20 minutes.
Gamescom will most likely just have playable demos of Brachy or Zinogre, maybe Velkhana, just like with E3.

MUH FASHION, i bet you play a female char

Yes. I think they get their health reduced to 75% each so the total health is 150%. Three monster hunts are at 200% health, so they all get 66% of their original health. Dunno if the scale even lower but I wouldn’t be surprised given how fucking quick they go down in those marathon event quests where you hunt every monster in an area.

I play male and combine different sets because I'm not unoriginal

sorry user, you're gay also every set even the most simple is 100 times better that wathever "fashion" you make.

Huh, I totally forgot about that, it's a coevolution. It brings no advantage for the mold to leave rent-free obsisdian flats, or brachy to not have explosive punches.

It had the best atmosphere by a huge margin and there was hardly any autismo minmaxing because skill points straight up didn't exist. you only got skills from wearing a full set, and it was only one skill. The online was ultra-chill and comfy with people going co-op on gathering hunts and just cooking and fishing etc.
Fatalis was an asshole, khezu was khezu and gravios was the tankiest motherfucker on the planet since the highest sharpness you got was green. The combat was extremely barebones, there was no gunlances, bows, longswords. Greatswords didn't have charge attacks so you just swung it like a grug. Sleep bombing was completely overpowered, poison was viable, there weren't any palicos, I can't even remember if there were meals or not.
Monsters were ultra clunky and acted like giant animatronic toys, hitboxes were all over the place and that one bullfango up in area 11 felt like it had more HP than a fucking lao.
The series has definitely changed for the better, it actually feels like monster "hunter" now, rather than monster "arena battler", but a ton of soul was lost along the way. Real fond memories of the old swamp, great atmosphere.

The full set from USJ event, looks beautiful on female characters.

user, Lucent Narga is never coming back. White Fatalis has a pretty good chance though.

We already know that not all flagships will be in, and Zinogre will probably be the last flagshig so there'll be one reintroduced per World area.
>Ancient Forest - Nargacuga
>Wildspire Waste - Glavenus
>Coral Highlands - Zinogre
>Rotten Vale - Tigrex
>Elder's Recess - Brachydios
Lagiacrus, Gore Magala, Seregios and Valstrax probably aren't going to make it.

The only reason Gore won't make it is if Fujioka and Ichihara felt that they absolutely needed Shaggy and didn't want to allocate resources to doing both.
Lagi and Val were both deconfirmed, and they were really bummed out that they couldn't get Lagi into World in the first place.
Saying they're only going to introduce one per World area is dumb though because they've never suggested that, and your pattern doesn't even fit. Tigrex is an all areas invader. Glavenus is in the Forest and Wildspire.
Plus by your logic Ebony Odogaron is the Coral Highlands because he was the one that introduced the area for Iceborne.

They could still cram a few more in easily. Lagiacrus is confirmed not in and Valstrax was hinted to not be in, but Seregios is an easy addition and doesn’t need to be tied to a single map. Gore Magala gives them Shagaru and Chaotic Gore as well, so they’d get three monsters out of the single new skeleton so it’s a worthwhile investment for Capcom. Valstrax would also be an easy addition but they already kinda hinted he wasn’t gonna make the cut.

It's not a new skeleton. Nerg and Xeno are both on the Magala skeleton.

>Saying they're only going to introduce one per World area is dumb though because they've never suggested that, and your pattern doesn't even fit. Tigrex is an all areas invader. Glavenus is in the Forest and Wildspire.
You misunderstand, I'm talking strictly about their introduction trailers.

Then Zinogre won't make it because Ebony brought us the Coral Highlands.

Many aspects were awful, yet I still fell in love.

You still misunderstand. I did not say that they were reintroducing areas through the flagship trailers.

even though the first games were nowhere near nintendo systems, also say that about mhw

by todays standards it would be kind of a hassle to play, but I'd still try to play it after all this time

Why are people pretending Zinogre will be in the coral highlands when it has nothing to do with water or sealife?

remember when i first fought lunastra in mhfu, i was actually forced to go ranged since she kept downing me if i uses blademaster

Kirin is in there, too.

Ancient forest already has something like 4 flagships, it can house another one

not quite, it's a compound explosive, brachy's saliva primes the slime mold and the resulting reaction is what causes the slime to detonate

What do an inflating bat and a dilophosaurus have to do with water or sea life?

So is this old ass game good or nah?

Coral Highlands is also World’s mountain/peak equivalent.

>DUDE WHAT IF SHE'S LIKE SUPER SPECIAL AND SHE'S IMMUNE TO FLASH BOMBS

if they added sergios i hope to god it's armor is like it was when they first introduced it, gen freaking ruined the armor set, oh and it has interactions with all the apex monsters

Apex monster interactions are a complete waste of time, they're all fucking ties
You can't tell me with a straight face that Rathalos wouldn't get raped by Tigrex

they should actually put some frontier monsters in mhw like that thorn monster i forget what it was called

Well yes I'd find it unlikely he can't show up anywhere else but these trailers have been showing part of their introduction scene and been going one per area. Coral Highlands has not has such a moment in any trailer and Zinogre has not been shown yet.

It's different for sure. I actually bought it a few years back because I was curious of the pure gen 1 experience after playing Freedom Unite. Haven't spent much time with it because if there's one thing I absolutely hate doing it's doing claw on a Dual Shock. PSP? No problem. Controllers like the Dual Shock 2 and 4 are just very uncomfortable for me when I'm trying to simultaneously use the D pad with analog because of how long my fingers are and the awkward bend they have to take. Hell even the Switch's controller set up feels more natural, and I've had a bias against that since the 3DS.

He’s not a bad fight but not an amazing one either, which kind of sucks because a dragon that controls and armours itself in liquid metal is a fucking awesome idea.

Frontier actually has a lot of really good music.

It's because they both forced and really fucked up the online lobbies. The game forces you to randomly join a lobby when you load it up so 95% of people just looking to play the game on their own terms and thrown into a lobby blindly with no connection to what they want to do themselves. On top of that the SOS system generally gets your closer-geared and better experienced hunters than people in your lobby so people rely on that instead of forming a party before setting off. On top of that you can't see any other players unless you go out of your way to visit the gathering hub, which is completely unnescessary unless you're doing KT runs which have their own lobbies, or if you plan on doing arena quests which noone wants to do unless they have to because there are only 2 that give you resources you need and they're both tiresome after the 200th run. On top of that the gathering hub is locked behind a load screen in a game that suffers horrendously from load times on console. On top of that it's the first real Monster Hunter title to launch on a console that has seperate party chats so people will talk to their friends through private parties instead of the local text chat.
World is a fantastic game but the way online was handled blows my mind every time that they made every single choice incorrectly

Gladly that will be fixed with IB, or at least partialy.

I still think Frontier-derived and Frontier-original monsters, especially dragons, are stupid as fuck. I do think some of them are cool, but only in the context of Frontier where they are allowed to go to the extremes to order to make their moves flashy and powerful in an MMO. Bringing them back to a title that isn't Frontier 2 just won't work. Hypnoc and Volganos were just animal-like and maybe had designs liked enough by the main team that they were brought over to the main series, and got watered down to be more ""realistic"". The dragons that followed just turn into super ridiculous godlike yet generic monsters that seemingly end the fucking world which each attack. Wish they made way more monsters that were more animalistic, now those were pretty dope, and would have a higher chance to be promoted to main roster.

Attached: FrontierGen-Garuba_Daora_Render_001.png (1467x1079, 1.54M)

Unless you specify a lobby you want to join or go out of your way to create a private lobby with a password it does, there's no default City/Village option like previous games.

A lot of the non dragons are more in line with mainline, I think it’s just Frontier’s art style and need to spike the fuck out of everything that makes them look tacky. Look at for example, Rukodiora is fine he just looks bright and in a mainline game would probably not look as garish.

Can you not create a private lobby on console without setting a password? Do you actually get thrown into a random lobby upon selecting your character?

You haven’t even scratched the surface.

monsterhunterfanon.fandom.com/wiki/Death

The coral Highlands isn't a sealife focused map, it's world's misty peaks equivalent which is where zinogre would most likely live in.

He sounds like a car revving.

By default, yeah. You can go out of your way to choose which lobby to join if you want but if you're just looking to play the game like a normal person you're gonna be pointlessly crammed into a room with 15 different hunters each named Geralt

NO
WEAKNESSES

Weird, on PC you get to choose between searching for a lobby, creating your own or joining a friends lobby after you select your character.

Astera does a good job of making people more isolated than they actually are. It's a part of why MHW rooms are never as focused as 4P lobbies are in most of the past titles, SOS may have changed that culture with the new blood but I don't think it would've done that much. Finally adding in access to most if not all Astera/Seliana facilities might lessen this, but they should've been the primary hubs to begin with.

So has anyone fucked with that Kulve Taroth mission in MHW?
is it worth it?

Absolutely. Rewards are shit if you play GL compared to that pink Rathian lvl 4 shelling GL or Jho's sweeping GL, but the fight itself is pretty fun.

Couldn't the Wycoon just reproduce screamer sac and bomb casing materials? Farming certain materials in 4U was so easy then Generations/Ultimate made it even easier as did World. Just hunt monsters and let the shit accumulate in between.

How can Overdrive even compete?

Why is Teo so sexy?

kush is a major jobber for heavy bowgun chads

looks like I'm going to need to make a build for HBG for him, I literally never want to actually fight him

You could buy them from Wycoon sometimes but I don't think he could farm them
Bomb Casingd were a bigger annoyance than anything else in 4U once you stopped mining lower rank stuff, you'd end up having to ask Wycoon for shit you didn't actually need so he would bring back some rocks.

Teo looks like a major faggot asking for his fucking face to be bashed with a hammer.
Now Kushy, that's a sexy critter

The first game ins the series was the clunkiest and literally had a borderline unplayable SP mode.
Bu it was still fun for its time assuming you ware one of the few people who owned a PS2 whit a network adapter back then.

Tempered kush only has flashbomb immunity after the fourth one. So you can still dab on him for a good portion of the fight, and the reduced HP from multi-monster quest means he should go down at least relatively fast after that.
AT kush on the other hand is some fucking garbage

How do I press on, bros? Or should I just take a break so I'm not fully burnt out for Iceborne since nothing but decos will matter in master rank.

The early monster hunter games were fine. They weren't nearly as hard or bullshit as people make them out to be. As long as you knew how retarded some of the hitboxes were you could just play around them. Plesioth is not hard if you've fought him before.
The small monsters being super aggressive is a pain but you just have to kill them all once and get on with the hunt.
The worst parts of the old games were the limited mechanics outside of the hunts. Boxes with a couple pages only, not being able to sort your items manually, etc.

zorah for sticky + cluster spam makes short work of him, just hit the stickies on the head for those juicy KO's and then dab on him with cluster when he falls

Decos won't matter in MR since 4-slot decos will be a thing, and I assume rarity 8+ single slot decos too.
Do something else while waiting for Iceborne

Have you actually played frontier?

>implying you won't need a complete set of decos to craft a single 4 slot deco

If you're not feeling it then it is time to do something else for a while and return when you do. Forcing it never works out right.

She's got a good selection of great weapons and also a lot of garbage, shit gets repetitive though. This checklist has a lot of the better Rarity 7-8 ones and doesn't have the newer Kjarr series, but you're probably going to keep what you find of the latter anyway. They're not likely to have any futureproofing in Iceborne but we'll see, if you're on PC then you still got five months at least.

Kulve is the only source of Wide Lv4 GLs, which are still nice to have as an option at all. Certainly a way around say, AT Lunastra's shitzones.

Freedom Unite is still, to this day, the best game in the series.

Wait, are they really making earlier decos irrelevant? I spent so long grabbing some of those.

They're not going to let you craft decos. They said 4 slots are a reward for MR quests. They also said the skill combinations aren't completely random, so presumably they have some kind of table system which governs which skills can end up together on one deco.

You're fucking retarded if you think that the level 1-3 decos will be useless just because some armor pieces may have few level 4 slots. You will still be using mostly level 1-3 decos.

I like the steak one but it is a little silly
the one with a ton of items is a silly clusterfuck too
everything else is pretty boring and yeah the stripes on the palico one look bad

Kushala looks like a piece of shit. Why would anyone like it?

No, the items will still have lower level slots so you will need those decos as well.

Ugh where are my anime colors and anime monsters

There's a mix of slot types still, going off what footage there is of Rarity 9 Beta armors which so far don't seem as generous as Gamma stuff, but I don't think we've seen what Rarity 12 Beta shit is like. What we've seen of Lv4 decos include stuff like two points of Artillery, so I'd assume your current collection is still going to be useful.

HH's wind resist works on kush?

>is he glowing?

it's pretty simple
alternatively just use a ranged weapon and trivialize him entirely

Just let them kill each other

It's about the time. Fights in stuff like World take 5-10 minutes with level appropriate equips.

is fatalis sentient?

all monsters are

Isn't there an armor set I could get to gain more DEF? Or some other missions I could do before them?

I don't think you know what sentient means

So we can date Paolumu?

okay i used the wrong word.
is fatalis conscious of itself?

I'd DATE Paolumu!

What's wrong with Gore and Valstrax autists?
Why won't they stop screechig about their shitmons?

As in self-actualization?
Literally no way to tell, the way humans do tests on animals in real life varies. Some apes can self-actualize, some can't. Some fish can, some can't. Some birds can, some can't.

I'd rid the World of Paolumu and make it a better place in doing so.

desu I kinda wish they'd do a spinoff that's more in the spirit of the older games and doesn't have all the retarded bullshit from 3U and onwards.

All things being equal, nothing regarding Fatalis has actually made it to the games themselves except for Crimson being a shitter that got bullied out of Castle Schrade and persists on absolute fury.
4U pulled some stuff from the ecology books for the cutscene intros, and 2G has the immortal regenerating Fatalis sword, but everything else is basically semi-canon on the verge of non-canon like most of the ecology stuff.
Wiki editors aside, Fatalis is just an asshole that hates hunters with a burning passion and likes to melt the armor he strips off the dead hunters and make his scales pretty.

Outside of dubious flagship designs, I never saw P3rd or 3U as particularly 'retarded' like 4 onwards.
I mean, there's the dumb SA phials but the bursts were never optimal to use and the LS finisher was silly but it already had the spirit gauge and combo before.

Don't make it angry then

I think what's worse is the fact there's no reason for it to return anytime soon.

2g is broken hitbox trash and P3 is the second easiest game in the series behind world

It does. The HH song is the same as kushy set bonus, negate all wind, not just wind resistance.

Maybe? Fatalis is supposedly the only truly malicious monster

Don't worry grandpa your shitty Kut Ku Hunter games are never going away unfortunately

I saw ones like Sliding lv1 andAttack lv1, Challenger lv1, Tool Specialist lv1. There's also single skill ones that give 2 or more levels, such as Stealth lv3, Artillery lv2, Bleed resist lv2. I think most offensive skills would be more useable for 4-slots

Someone bringing a fast Sleep weapon does wonders on AT Nerg lemme tell ya
The problem is there were barely any good craftable ones, most of the good status weapons were Kulve drops

Thanks for confirming you only like soulless games.

P3rd is one of the worst monster hunter games that aren't unplayable like pre freedom unite ones

>pre freedom unite
Freedom 2 was perfectly playable
