I know they changed the way money/shops/weapon upgrades work in this title, so my question is this:

Is this game going to retroactively ruin all the other Monster Hunter titles for me?

I had to stop using the IG in 4U because it was far too good of a weapon.

Hopefully they nerfed it or something

I've heard it not resetting the charm tables on game boot (like the other games did it I guess?) was a bug

but maybe it wasn't I dunno

which style does db prefer

Meowywitch
Jan 14, 2010

Yeah the way I play these games is using maining a weapon a game. It was Long Sword in MHFU, Hammer in Tri, Switch Axe in Portable 3rd, and Insect Glaive in 4u.

I'm not a huge fan of the lance or gunlance, the charge blade's too confusing, and I never got the hang of the greatsword. Basically narrows down my options to sns, db, and maybe the hunting horn?

Maybe it's time to use the horn.

Another thing is the Greatsword has always fascinated me and I always use it for a bit in every game out of curiosity. The concept of charging and landing a hit juuust right feels amazing when I can pull it off, but otherwise the weapon's slowness makes me feel like it requires me to already know all of the ins and outs of a monster to use effectively

but i'm probably just bad though.

Gaijinhunter's videos are alright but I find the in game instructions to be pretty drat lacking

Meowywitch

Yeah I think Greatsword might just be affected the most by all of the weapons being poo poo in the early game as far as sharpness levels and damage go. It's probably great once you get on and also get those Armor Skills.

I've figured it out. Aerial Dual Blades. Pro fun.

Meowywitch
Jan 14, 2010

the only problem i have with dual blades is that it feels like i'm a weak piece of poo poo even if i'm not

Wait did 4u / this make the horn easier to use?

bow is great until you run out of mega dash juices and realize that to get more you have to kill more gypceros, or if you want regular dash juice you have to cook your own steaks because there isn't a way to get them rare automatically

does anyone want to dupe some dash extract / mega dash juice with me pretty please

maybe i won't play dual blades
