first for memes

You're playing the PS4 version launching this week right people?

3rd for Kirin!

Tells in MH are far too long.
You shouldn't be able to dodge an attack on reaction, only by already being out of its way when it begins. If you stand in the wrong spot, you fucked up and deserve to eat a hit.

Fuck off.

What's with the early threads? You didn't even manage to link previous thread

It's a game, and from now through whenever that is a core part of what this game is. Your way sounds more one dimensional.

>far too long
>a large amount of monster tells are short enough that you NEED to be positioned properly to avoid damage without evasion skills
Shit like instant Rath charges are a grey area, though. Some argue that they technically do have tells in the form of the wyvern orienting themselves towards you. I personally think that's stupid, because then they could launch a fireball, or roar, or go airborne, or any number of other things, each with their own tells.

I remember way back it was a lot easier to tell between a Rathalos turning into a charge and a turning to launch a fireball or fly, a charge would be a faster overall turn to face a player.

I honestly don't mind it at all since in that case it's more about having an understanding of what the monster can do against what it will do and then making a choice of being safe or risking getting hit for more damage.
I do mind making those quick charges hit like trucks though. Better to make them hit enough so that you'll be wary of them but not enough to do more than say 1/3rd of your health in a single blow so you can still risk it without death.

What's truly bullshit is attacks with absurdly short tells that CAN'T be avoided by positioning.

Like what?

G Garuga beak slam
Rathalos take off instant fireball
Gore/Shagaru wing flap virus bomb

git gud

Remember the deal CAPCOM has with Sony?

If anything this new movie will be published by Tencent Pictures

MH is big in a country that bans the 3DS.

New stage BGM. It's pretty good.

Lunala_?

>The hermitaur slowly walking over and slapping them out of the potion at 2:10
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

God damn Japanese devs, make the PS4 version work just fine but fuck up something in the PC.

I wish I could put up with Frontier's autistic grind but it's just too much.

Regarding the movie, people over /v/ are having some weird ideas about the plot

>MC has to pick a weapon, chooses hunting horn
>Does the running anymations straight from the game
>Everyone flexes after eating, it's never explained why.
>Emotional death scene gets interrupted by Felynes carting the fallen
>Movie ends with the MC bragging about a good kill for a solid minute, then as he's gonna start carving theframe freezes and QUEST COMPLETED appears
>Credits roll over a static shot of the last hit.

Wish I could put up with Deviants autistic grind but it's just too much as well.

>30 monsters for an armor set
>vs 2000 monsters for a set of decorations

>Still being anal about Tech skills
You don't let go once you've bit huh?

Heh

youtube.com/watch?v=vIxE0M0jlLA

Another new BGM. This one is the guild battle diva thingy.

They're just as optional as deviant grind.
And Hiden isn't even the worst grind in Frontier.

Yeah, deviants didn't stop me from enjoying Gen so I agree there.

Just as Hiden doesn't stop me from enjoying Frontier.

The difference is that in Frontier EVERYTHING is grindy as hell.

...

That's the appeal of Frontier, casual shitter.

Well the appeal I see is being able to play a Monster Hunter without having to start from the beginning every other year or so and also have a decent amount of challenge.

But that's just me.

i love it how the definition of the frontier buzzword changes with every new mainline title
>no frontier means flashy
>mainline gets flashy
>no frontier means shit monster designs
>mainline gets shit monster designs
>no frontier means CUHRAZY anime and aoe!
>mainline returns to its anime roots and gets aoe moves
>no frontier is grindiness!
>people forget about charms and also relic farming from 4/4U

Frontier is still stuck in Gen 2's engine

>No mounting
>No monster fatigue
>And still all the quality of life upgrades from 3rd and 4th gen plus many more

Sounds great.

>implying mounting and monster fatigue are bad

Monster fatigue is.
No need to make the fight easier just because it went on for too long. Make it a specific status you have to work for or something. Plus monsters tend to zone in retarded ways to go to the feeding ground.

Mounting isn't terrible in Generations, but 4U spamming was awful.

...

You could get a full set of perfect relics of every element in 4U in the time it'd take you to get a single Raviente weapon in Frontier.

>clunky controls
>moonwalking monsters
>shitboxes

Still a chance on those relics, so you also have the chance to not get a single one.

Meanwhile the Ravi weapon is going to happen in that amount of time no matter what.

A RATH TO SURPASS DREADKING

And in that amount of time you're hunting a variety of monsters and also getting charms and relic armor
Rather than farming a single gimmicky MMO boss over and over

>another rath
Frontiercucks will defend this

...

Rajang is not a variety of monsters.
But your point stands.

Ravi is fun in spurts but more than 2 or 3 in a row is just dull.

>implying that wouldn't be amazing

Nobody is forcing you to only hunt Rajang.
And unless you want ugly as sin skins even if there's a Rajang in every quest for optimal returns it's not going to be 2x Rajang.
Ravi weapons can't be gotten from anything but Ravi.

Perfect relics aren't going to be found from everything though.
So you are stuck to a small group to go over and over for the chance

Ravi weapons are super ass, no arguing that.
Maybe they'll revisit it and cut away the mass grind like they did to a lot of the other parts of the game.

Ravi is the absolute endgame, they're not going to cut down on that.

They've already upped the number of tickets you get from the priority monster for Hiden, I could see them making the normal and Violent Ravi portions of the grind easier.

>They've already upped the number of tickets you get from the priority monster for Hiden
When did that happen?

A month or two ago I think.
Not much admittedly, just instead of 3 or 5 it's now 4 or 6.

Small but it is a change none the less.

So now it's just around 1600 hunts for Hiden?
Still not something I could see myself suffering through.

...

What the fuck? Charlotte was online yesterday but not today? Isn't he supposed to only play on week-ends? I need to ask him some stuff about 4U!

Opiui

youtube.com/watch?v=-8Y_RS2W5RY

This doesn't even look hard.

Yeah, it's still a grind.
But it does show that they are at least willing to revisit old things.

>or 5
>or 6
?

That still doesn't solve the issue that on top of the tickets, Hiden also needs 20 1% drops per piece.

Warning: contains disturbing imagery.

Normal drop is 4, and you have a chance to get 6 instead.

But you will always get tickets.

You can buy those now.

I expected more there.
Or Extreme DBs are just that strong.

I'm betting the MC of the MH movie will flex after eating because he's a jock.

The better framerate is jarring after playing Gen

Opiui makes everything looks easy. The monsters is also not a zenith monster.

Please don't bring up that movie, it makes me shake literally

Let's laugh at GaijinMemer: twitter.com/aevanko/status/800834076877824000

When has a bad movie adaption of vidya killed a franchise?

...

MH Online, kiddo.

Is MHO based on 2nd gen gameplay as well? I want to try it but I don't want to deal with anything that's older than MH3.

Nah. They'll pick some charisma vacuum manlet from Game of Thrones or another cable drama. Maybe Paul Wes Thomas Anderson will just get Kit Harrington again, because he was in Pompeii.

>Monster Hunter Movie done by Resident Evil director
io9.gizmodo.com/the-team-behind-the-resident-evil-movies-is-making-a-mo-1789219361

It's a combination of 4U and Frontier. The engine is completely different and monster animations and AI are entirely new. There are also unique features like fire being able to spread across the ground, or being able to ignite flammable substances by using bombs or fire damage.

Nobody asked for it but the hollywood elites

You can also douse fire with water bombs, but only on the airship missions.

And Tencent

>no previous thread

Despite all the shit they're doing and probably influencing, it's funny how there isn't really all that much discussion about Tencent

Capcom wants to get the west into MH so they can milk that audience as well
Shit is only going to get worse from here

I'm new to the series. Should I just start with Generations?

Because Tencent has no part in the movie, at least officially. But since the director expressed interest of the MH movie going to China, I doubt there will be any other party except Tencent being involved, if any from China.

prnewswire.com/news-releases/tencent-pictures-reveals-dynamic-slate-of-upcoming-film-and-television-projects-300330799.html

Gen is full of a lot of nostalgia bait, and surprisingly inaccessible for a new player
Start with 3U or 4U

Shit OP for a shit general.

I view MH going to 3DS as the worst it could ever be back then.

the old thread didn't even hit the bump limit as well
>welcome redditors!
kinda ironic isn't it

Wake up /mhg/!

Sales disagree with you.

But I'm going to bed

...Alright

well there is p3rd, the best selling psp game in existence
but I have a hunch that the guy is just trying to fit in

really the way to go is cross-platform play, everyone is happy and you maximize your market

It's not about sales. Even if it was about sales, moving away from PSP after the phenomenon MHP3rd was really the stupidest idea.

MHP3rd was also the best selling MH game by a longshot

>playing P3rd
>finished village and just gor HR3
>somehow have 3 carabalite
Wait, where the hell did they come from? From the LR farm somehow?

What a cute zinhuntress

>It's not about sales
>companies are not about making money

>Even if it was about sales, moving away from PSP after the phenomenon MHP3rd was really the stupidest idea.
Not really, considering the 3 titles in the 3DS sold really well and didn't have draconian business decisions taken by Sony messing with development.

That's why they're moving to PS4 now and with the movie, for sales.
