chumbler posted:It's a very solid and cute rpg and a major improvement over the first one. The only caveats I'd see are switch performance can be kinda bad particularly in the big areas, and the combat system is as close as you'd get to a turn based monster hunter so there's a lot of memorizing monsters' attack patterns, so it might be a little tough for a 6 year old. Thanks. We'll be playing together, I just wondered if it has any depth so I'll not get bored immediately. Tried playing Ni No Kuni before and it was unbearably slow.

I think I've found the best feeling in the game and it's using the lance's backflip evade to drop hellfire in the path of a charging monster Also goddamn skyward thrust is such a visceral feeling move, it's up there with world TCS for satisfying impacts

It's not hard to switch to new weapons is it? I feel like having to gather materials for them, upgrade through chains, may be a bit tedious, but I used to main HH in groups, and solo'd SnS, and then went SnS fulltime, but I think I need a change and HH isn't it, it's fun but a bit too slow and momentumy. Been eyeing Lance and it seems really nice, and I want to try Bow since it seems like a nice mix of ranged and melee. I hated constantly having to go for body shots as tails or the head were too far away with SnS. The game is fun especially when I can zone out and forget the grind, so I'm afraid that this grind to make some new good weapons may kill it for me again.

It's usually pretty easy to try out a different weapon, I swap between them and make full sets for everything eventually. Maybe try making a pretty generically good Blademaster set (gunner sets are more ammo type specific so might not be as easy) so that you can just try out something new in easier MR hunts. Just like, lots of affinity, attack and defense boost.

Fought MR Allmother and she seemed easier than the HR version. I think a big factor was the extra wirebugs in the field, but the new attacks felt a lot more avoidable than some of the base attacks. The attack that usually gets me is that split thunder pattern followed by dragon wind in the gaps and that didn't come out I guess. I like the Ibushi and Narwa fights though and they are still good in MR.

Made it to MR29, and started feeling like there wasn't as much as I'd hoped and it had gone by pretty fast. Then I checked my playtime and saw I'd spent over 50 hours JUST playing lance. So maybe there's still some meat on the bone.

I accomplished my goal of unlocking my MR rank cap as soon as possible by focusing on a single weapon and just busting through everything as fast as possible. Now it's time to experiement with other weapons for shits and giggles until I find maybe 3 or 4 that I feel comfy bouncing between. First up, SnS.

Pillow Armadillo posted:Are insect glaive and light blowgun beginner friendly? Haven't played a MH game since the 3DS, and was terrible at it back then As other people have said, pick a weapon you think is cool. Whether you like a weapon enough to learn it and stick with it is more important than whether it's generally considered beginner friendly. I started in World and the weapon that clicked with me the most was insect glaive, so I stuck with it and it's still my favorite weapon. Is it the most beginner friendly? No, probably not. But I was motivated to play it anyway just because I really liked how it felt to play, and that meant I had more fun learning it than I would have with a weapon that I was less excited about.

I'm playing through MHP3rd and also started a new file in MHGU and I gotta say I actually have a harder time picking a weapon in the older games it's just very tempting to go with something like the sns or hammer because they're so solid and were virtually unchanged for several games. Meanwhile some weapons like the gunlance or the switch axe are so clunky it's hard to imagine anyone ever doing anything useful with them

Aniodia posted:Honestly, as neat as it is, I just turned the radial menu off early into Rise and haven't looked back. It's just too finicky for my tastes, and I find it easier to just d-pad scroll through my inventory while heading to the monster/chasing it as it flees. I use the item button for mega potion heals and scroll to endemic life but for stuff you use once a hunt like max pots or traps radial menu is pretty cool. I have sharpen on the radial menu too just feels right

drat almost got Anjanath solo for the first time but his fireball attack one shot me somehow. Are the paths predetermined for the monsters, like will the Anjanath always run into a Rathalos or no?

I think Insect Glaive is your best option if you want a faster, more responsive weapon in GU but don't quite want to go full Dual Blades The kinsect stuff might seem intimidating at first but once you get a feel for it (and get a bug that is slightly faster than molasses) it's pretty straightforward Augus fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Jul 17, 2022 |

Does anything unlock between MR70 and 100? I was kind of expecting a new rank of Anomalies after downing MR Valstrax but that hasn't happened.

Nope. More anomalies probably waiting for title updates.

Nah nothing until you hit 100. Higher level anomalies will most likely show up with the free title updates we get at some point according to the roadmap

Has there been any verdict on how the three hit combo switch skill on GS compares to standard? It seems to do a lot of damage if you get all the hits and there's a lot of flexibility but losing the ability to go straight into charge and tackle seems like a big loss and it makes it harder to get to TCS/Rage Slash

Ulio posted:Almost got Anjanath solo then he just leaves locale wtf does that mean? Is it because I press right stick and tracked another monster? If you fight monsters in expeditions or tours or whatever they're called, they can just leave and get replaced after a certain amount of time. Basically don't hunt monsters that aren't the target of a quest. I'm not sure if they changed it in this game but generally you can't even get quest reward bonus drops from the monster if you do that so it's just a waste of time in general instead of just booting up a quest that has Anjanath in it.

If the monster isn't the main target of the hunt you're on, or if you're on an expedition, they will leave the area after a certain amount of time so other monsters can cycle into the zone. You also get more rewards from hunting monsters as part of a assignment or investigation so it's not really worth it to hunt monsters on expeditions. Expeditions are best used for gathering materials and stuff like that.

I like doing expeditions to kinda zone out for an hour and just fight whatever I come across. It's not good for anything but it's fun to me.

Feeling like a portable MH could be nice to have. I say portable because I don't take my Switch out of my house. Ok? Ok. On 3DS what's the one to get, or will I go crazy after the supposed conveniences from Rise? I both happy and frustrated that I'm enjoying this game again.

Generations is shorter but has a lot more playstyles, since every weapon has four "styles", different movesets that later inspired switch skills. (Generations Ultimate, the version of that game with MR monsters, is on Switch.) 4U is the biggest game, but has a lot of overlap with Generations and Rise. 3U is the worst overall. They all still have a lot of early-2000s game design in them. MHW was the game that really streamlined things.

Continuing my streak of somehow succeeding at hunts despite getting ragdolled like crazy, but wow I have no idea how to deal with Seregios. I only carted once which is I guess pretty good but god drat he's so fast and mobile and aggressive I have no idea how I would've hit him at all if I couldn't also fly. Maybe I should learn lance or something so I stop relying so hard on being able to be airborne and turn into a missile whenever I want.
