Golden Goat posted:Is it worth picking up a circle pad pro for this? that depends CPP doesn't fit the New 3ds so if you have that forget it if you have the old 3dsXL it feels great ergonomically (makes it shaped more like a controller) and the stick feels much better than the New 3ds nub. If you're using ranged weapons, the CPP is almost required, it turned me from a light bowgun scrub into a heavy bowgun godking

Golden Goat posted:Hrmm maybe I should get a New 3DS. for this game? Why they're both capped at 30 fps, the only difference is initial load time, an extra second in between area transitions, and a tiny amount of texture pop in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFfZkGi89as plus you'd be forced to use the nub instead of a CPP

Charlie Bobson posted:I bought MH4U when it came out but didn't play it very much. I enjoyed most of what I played (up to the 3rd village I think) and Generations coming out has rekindled my interest a bit. Is it worth buying Generations when it comes out or should I just go through 4 until I clear most of the content? mh4u is going to be a ghost town in two days, if you like playing with other people, which you should because its monster hunter, then get gen

online multiplayer rules: #1 don't spam your own quests #2 you share your 3 lives with the whole party, don't be the guy who carts 3 times #3 if you're bad at the game and want to be a leech don't cart, don't trip your teammates, and bring lifepowders (they heal everyone in the zone) e: no seriously I am perfectly okay with unskilled players as long as they dont cart twice in the first few minutes which almost forces a restart at that point. e2: VVV yeah that's a good point, ask your party if they want to restart, don't just leave your team because, and this is an important point -In online mode the monsters have a flat +% health regardless of the number of people in the party. You can solo every online quest, but with 3 more people it goes 4x as quickly (theoretically). If someone leaves that's just 25% damage lost, along with all their traps, bombs, and lifepowders they theoretically brought with them. mbt fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Jul 13, 2016 |

Ciaphas posted:Where did you hear that about GL? japanese solo hunt speedruns put it in last place along with hunting horn, but at least hunting horn has utility in a group also GL has a heat mechanic now so it really is just a lovely lance but lances got buffed to be now the best, fastest killing melee weapon in the game, so now gunlances are in a real bad spot

Wafflz posted:Look at this bad weapon solo demo narga in 4 minutes. Look, the question was "are gunlances bad". If your metric is "can the weapon kill the monster" then sure every weapon is good. The only reliable comparison between weapons is clear speed. Also lmao, the demo armors and weapons are a terrible judge of the weapons at endgame, gunlances are one of the best demo weapons but interestingly one of the worst HR weapons! japanese MHX records 7 Star Seregios: http://www65.atwiki.jp/mhxtawiki/pages/118.html Lance 2'59'16 Gunlance 4'42'65 7 Star Shagaru http://www65.atwiki.jp/mhxtawiki/pages/111.html Lance 2'57'98 Gunlance 4'12'70 etc etc Besides, the most stylish is aerial heavy bowgun pellet, which isn't a lance or a gunlance.

Sprite141 posted:A 1 minute 20 seconds difference is absolutely nothing. The poo poo thing is the gunlance power drop causing heat to be an upkeep like LS' spirit guage. keep in mind that that 1m 20s difference is only that short because the player is really good at gunlance and keeps almost 100% uptime. For regular joe hunter who isn't playing super efficiently they would be much better off not playing a mario party minigame as they dodge rathians, which means in fact, other weapons are better than gunlance.

Sprite141 posted:The other time listed is from an equally skilled player in that weapon though. And if you'd recommend people not bother with GL because the heat mechanic is distracting, you'd best tell them to not bother with LS or IG either. Okay Don't bother with LS or IG. Their time has passed, the dawn of adept bow and lance is upon us. or who cares, grank is gone, this game is gonna be easy and thats okay I guess.

Ahh charm hunting I eagerly look forward to seeing "Monster Hunter Generations" on this list https://powersaves3ds.maximummemory.com/ e: apparently powersaves don't work for MHX/G....because it saves to the SD card and you can pop it into your computer and edit that directly  oh boyI bought it for star knight armor months before it came here mbt fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Jul 13, 2016 |

But also bad because I don't want to farm fish or charms, RIP keyboard vomit posted:Being extremely stylish is a core mechanic of monster hunter and the you fail to account for it. you can be stylish and efficient at the same time look at early 20th century germans What I'm going to miss most about no powersaves is I can't hack a legit charm that would allow me to fashion hunter but still be a god

CuddlyZombie posted:The OP says that capturing "will usually result in even more parts obtained", but isn't that actually not the case? Carving gives (usually) 3 parts, and capturing gives 2 parts, with a 69% chance to get 3 instead, but from a different pool? capturing usually gives higher chance at rare drops

John Lee posted:Yeah, I thought this was canon from a couple lines or some artbook or something. The guild takes the majority of the monster, but you get first pick of parts. Naturally, you can carve them off yourself (the parts you get are the best non-destroyed parts), or if the monster was captured, the more refined dissection allows you to more easily get rarer parts. how does the Fate skill that allows you more parts factor into this headcanon

so I went against best judgement and tried aerial HBG in the demo against the owl it went really loving poorly, I dunno if its just me being rusty but none of the controls felt right and the aerial part felt like poo poo. I went in thinking oh I'll just rebind the shoot button to a shoulder button so I can quickaim with the CPP and fire without having to move my thumb. Apparently that doesn't work?

Zodack posted:My friend has limited money so I was hoping the free demo would be enough to convince him to get into MH. We play games together all the time so I had my hopes up, but he admitted that he simply had no idea what he was doing, even after several hunts. Which makes sense, but he decided not to get the game, so it's put a bit of a damper on today for me. wicked same "these controls suck" "why isn't it on a console or PC" some of them who are big dark souls AND grindy RPG apologists won't even touch it I don't get it  MH owns, MHG is gonna ownMy amazon package arrived, amazon has their own delivery service now and they kinda suck real hard, thoughts and prayers go out to everyone else affected by them

BMan posted:What I do for VOIPing while playing monster hunter: huh I think I'll use my earbuds in my 3ds and put my headphones from my computer over the earbuds it might work but it'll be real weird! What's the best HBG style? Aerial seems crap without a set, the one with weapon arts also seems bad, do I care about the adept roll? I guess if it's "a second weapon art" or "a dodge" I'd have to pick a dodge

If you press X immediately, you'll go into a super-fast, long distance sprint. If you wait a second, you'll do a fast reload and get the blue glowy bonus. If you tap X after the fast reload, you'll immediately go into siege mode. I forgot about the roll out of siege mode, welp.

I got about 20 hours into 4 and was finally getting the hang of it but real life made me put it down and I've completely forgotten almost everything skill-wise I learned from it. guild style or adept hammer hold r to charge twice, slam down, keep pressing a to do a golf swing graduate to aerial hammer where you leap on a monster and bash it back to the stone age it has two moves and it loving owns Deviant posted:I'm here to preach the word of the Heavy Bowgun. what gun/armor is any good?

I just found the greatsword video from 10 years ago I remember watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSOi1GizEco&t=148s it's real good, I linked to the real impressive part but the whole video displays the kind of mental calculus that makes GS a low skill floor high skill ceiling weapon.

FutureCop posted:Anyway, it just seems like a rather awkward and slow gun that I'm either a) not seeing the invisible benefits of it or b) it's situational and I should only use it on certain monsters or in party play or etc. If it helps, I was using adept style to dodge, perhaps this is the wrong style to use? Rapid fire does 70% damage with each shot Siege fire does 100% and fires insanely fast Adept is the correct style, it gives you the safety of LBG Gunpowder infusion is the "best" skill because it's free damage someone did the math for 4u (gen is unchanged mechanics other than arts and built in shots) https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/33knht/lbg_and_hbg_damage_differences/ LBG and HBG do similar damage but HBG is generally higher dps because you don't miss rapid fire shots and the calculation doesn't factor in siege mode. Set a trap + go into siege mode with pierce = the monster is going to die. HBG is "tougher" solo and really shines multiplayer where other people will be knocking the monster down and keeping it distracted. Online I would go so far as to say HBG is the better option in almost every case.

Chaitai posted:For Melee weapons, is Aerial everything the best style? It seems to provide so much over everything else. The monsters can rarely hit you while you are flailing through the air smashing them on your way down, you typically don't lost THAT many moves for the various weapons. I guess the only thing you lose are the additional hunter arts, but I seemingly forget to use those anyways so I don't miss out on much. if you're playing solo yeah aerial is great, mounting is a ton of free damage. If you're in a party it's generally good to have only one person aerial because of the increase damage required to mount each time you do it. Plus I think maybe you can hit the other person midair? LS is a weapon with good hunter arts that guild or striker is good for, SnS is another one.
