So I'm loving the demo, a billion times better than 3U's was, but I absolutely do not 'get' how to use the bug, is there a range I'm not figuring out or something? I target the monster's belly or whatever, I hit fire and...it buzzes around for a little bit. Do I need to manually return it to get the boost or should I just let it go and it'll come back to me full of monster juice?

It doesn't, but it has programmable quick messages and automessages based on actions (like mounting a monster, setting bombs, etc).

Can I make my mount message "WATCH THIS STUPID poo poo"?

In many cultures you're not actually a man until you Hunting Horn Poke a tail off a monster.

Apparently Lagombi is coming back :kimchi:

Between the bunny ears and the penguin sliding, I nominate Lagombi for cutest monster.

Lagombi returns as does Kirin, my two favorite monsters (aside from the iconics who are in near every game) are in, now all I need is those giant crabs and crawfish to be back.

I'm not even sure how much I'll use the C-Stick on the New 3DS since the L Targeting basically solves all of the issues with the camera in a single press.

Yea I'm gonna get the new 3ds, it looks good and it's a legit upgrade since I'm still rockin the ORIGINAL 3ds and all, but since I probably can't swing a launch day grab I'm glad L targeting handles my biggest worry of 'oh gently caress am I gonna NEED that c-stick?'

It's still an issue, but I'm glad the female armor sets at least have a few more full helms and less open ones that're basically just face-windows.

Yea female armor in general is better this game it seems. Not perfect but less stupid 'cause they're giiiiiiiiiirls right' looks. Gonna need to get the Bnahabra top hat armor asap.

I legitimately can't decide between focusing on bug or my usual light bowgun, both are fun and neat in their own ways.

Play both! I feel that Monster Hunter's journey is more fun than the destination, and milking more time out isn't necessarily a bad thing.

At least make Steve's lbg, that thing rules. I've seen multiple players overforge it to return health, and that looks like a weapon to definitely do that on.

Oh absolutely, yea one of the things I love in these games is the ability to go 'nah today I feel like shooting dinosaurs in the face' and just going for that. Just unsure what I'll even start with because both are a blast in the demo. I guess I'll just flip a fuckin coin or something.

Jumped on my CE fast on Amazon, got it coming on launch day. My New 3ds won't be here till Monday or Tuesday apparently but that's less important.

The only tragedy is I'll have to delay getting Majora's Mask, even if I wasn't spending a bunch of money on that day anyway I just won't have time to play it for a bit even if it's my favorite Zelda.

Their armor looks real sweet, although the full set isn't anything to write home about skill-wise (Low-Rank is Ice Atk+1, Meat Lover, Raise Hunger / High-Rank is Ice Atk+1, Meat Lover, Part Breaker, Raise Hunger / G-Rank X is Ice Atk+2, Meat Lover, Speed Eating+1, Part Breaker, Raise Hunger / G-Rank Z is Rec Speed+2, Stamina Recovery Up, Tremor Res, and Double Bleed). Only Rare 8 as well. Still definitely workable. The weapons are middle-of-the-pack ice weapons with the subspecies paths turning into para weapons that are actually pretty good. The sub charge axe (Desert Rose) in particular is really solid, Impact Phial with Para element, good raw and good sharpness.
