I hate fighting Raths

Reminder not to bully cute-ku

can i get a quick rundown on Teo Tesukatoru?
these explosions seem to be random and instant

>parts needed
>rath gleam x3

all his explosions are preempted by a visual where they'll strike, just watch for them. except the supernova, just get away when you see it fly up. or the G rank snipe nova, which can be prevented by staying close.

It appears that I have too many reaction images of monsters

So now, I require pics of HUNTERS

What are some good GS sets in xx? Also, can we expect athena's ASS any time soon for xx?

.

...

Only reason to watch that shitty anime, even the LN sucks.

Anyone else making multiple sets of the same armour to transmog for different weapons?

I love the look of my lance set but it just doesn't work for SnS.

I'm thinking of getting my hands on a MH for my 3DS, but I'm not sure which one to pick up.
Should I pick up MH3U or a 4th gen game?
In the later case, is MHGen a new version of MH4U or a sort-of-4.5 gen?
If you recommend MHGen over MH4U, should I wait for an eventual MHXX international release (I don't wish to hack my 3DS) or get MHGen now?
In case previous experience with the series is relevant, I was introduced to MH with Tri, and I'm currently playing MHFU.

tl;dr: MH3U, MH4U, MHGen or MHXX once it's international?

3U and 4U

Don't play Gen. 3U and 4U are both good games.

4U
No, Yes
Crack XX, It bombed they won't localize it
Play 4U

4U is the best starting point
XX isn't localized yet.
Don't get Gen.
3U for 3ds can't go online without a wii u.

>Have been fighting Hyper Jho upwards to 25 times by now making all these Esurient XR pieces, both BM and Gunner for all the different weapons I use
>Have even more unique pieces to make still since I'm such an autist that needs a different themed transmog for each weapon set
Just end me senpai

>mfw mhx/xx village 5*

i'm done is it viable to rank up with hub instead? I know it will be harder but I just want to fight monsters and get loot. Not do some mmo questline shit.

whats the point of playing monster hunter if all i can do is hunt monsters? where is my endgame???

>Monster Hunter
>"wtf I hate hunting monsters?!"

What's wrong with MHGen and XX, if I may ask? Should I care about MHXX if it gets localized?
I guess I'll go with 4U, though.

if you put up with it a bit more, there are some monsters with equipment you might like in 6*. that said, you can go to hub now, if you want.

Terrible direction, no.

XX is the g-rank version of gen ergo gen is a scam.
Both.... experimented a lot and made a shit ton of questionable decisions that were hyped up then turned out to be worthless, halfassed, or boring. The transition from gen to XX also confirmed, again, that the people who make these games don't play them and don't know what they're doing.

Ichinose doesn't deserve the sales he gets.

Nothing, it's their autism

I don't get it, but I guess it's about MHGen/XX. Could you explain?

Nothing.

It's just 4Ubabs having nostalgia for their first MH and shitting on every subsequent game.

I'll try looking at it now I can get some flagship monster stuff so I might make some armor. I'm tired of using this bulldrome jaggi shit.

May I ask some more details? I know just about nothing on the 4th gen.

Terrible direction, it means the directors are terrible. They ignored 10 years of design philosophy to fit the niche they force in their games.
Add to that an awful mess with balance, qol, gear diversity and the new advertised content being a pain in the ass instead of difficult.

can you backup your XX savefiles with JKSM yet?

Why is /mhg/ still playing XX when they're just talking shit about it? People could always go back to the old games they've been preaching and stay there if they think it's that good, so why?

>Why is /mhg/ still playing XX when they're just talking shit about it?
none of those people are actually playing XX though

Why gen is inferior to 4U:
>no expeditions
>no guild quests
>no relic gear
>deviant quests are a nightmare grind
>styles and arts are fucking gay
>no disposable earplugs
>mounting isn't broken

At this point shitposting about the game and the general is more customary than actually playing the game.
Everyone will shitpost about how bad their experience playing with /mhg/ meanwhile in the actual turns rooms people are just hunting all chill like.

Is Kecha Wacha really the only fucking G2 set that has Evade Dist Up? I'm trying to make a SA set and I don't have any charms with the skill on it.

>let's play hbg in the next game because guns are cool
>30 hours in I'm doing everything with gs
why does this always happen

English armorset builder for MHXX when?

Because you have shit tastes

>expeditions were RNG cancer
>guild quests were RNG cancer
>relic gear was RNG cancer
>deviant quests are grindy but leveling up GQ's isn't?
>not an argument
>casual
>je suis monté

Also
>comparing a G-rank game to a HR game
Gen is analogous to MH4. MHXX is analogous to MH4U.

Here's an autistic list of issues I have with gen/XX:

No material trader
Archaic DB nerf/buff
Locked 30
Particle effects they added, while nice, cause framedrops
Worse textures and shadows
Lighting engine is fucked
Element got kicked in the shins
Monsters change areas more often
Monsters can not be staggered out of the air or killed while retreating
Menus lack the natural, wooden style 4U and 3U were going for
Sets have numbers next to them
Worse font than 4U, english patch fixes this in XX
Deviant quest system is an mmo-tier grind with meaningless varity
High level deviant quests are absolute cancer with respawning secondary monsters in arena
Small monster aggressiveness was turned up to 11
Striker lance charge was only nerfed by 3 mv from gen to XX
Gunlance nerf/buff
Entire game exists just to pander to nostalgia, comes off as soulless
Can't visit old village guild halls or farms
Evasion arts are way too strong
Adept is easy mode
No free hunt
Hypers are just stat inflation mixed with some random timings
So many requests
So many online requests
Can't leave the hub to continue request chains, have to DC
Awful food system
Awful trader system, fuck cats
Disorganized and inflated quest lists full of gathering shit

End of the day though it's still pretty fun. And it did some good things:

Can destroy traps in XX
Can remove all decorations at once
Good monster variety

Fourth Gen began with a large revision to Monster Hunter with the addition of verticality, and it also undid large amounts of the reworking of the series in the third generation by bringing back outdated monsters.

Generations added many Frontieresque oddities to the game. Monster Hunter always had a veneer of realism in amongst the oversized swords and cartoonish KO'd monsters, but Generations broke that illusion with its insanely over the top Deviants.

End end-game of Generations is set up to be an immense, but finite, grind. 4U's endgame grind wasn't as obvious to the player so many people skipped it, but it was also vastly more tedious and a virtual unwinnable RNG lottery.

I'm of the opinion that each new Monster Hunter game has been better than the last, but it's undeniable that Generations and by extension Double Cross has been, and will continue to be, a mixed bag. I fucking love the games though.

>guns are cool
>shit tastes
???

>deviant quests are a nightmare grind

>no guild quests
>no relic gear

wait, is nightmare grind a good thing or a bad thing
make up your mind

>Implying Hame Hunter 4U had a lot of variety
I don't get why are you all shilling 4U

>I hate 4U because I deserve relics but don't want to save edit
>waaah I hate hame rajang all the time I wish I could play the game

Sure is a lot of projecting there, bub.

It's the same phenomenon as that 90s kids fad trying to act like they're grandpas with something good to reminisce about.
Come MH5 there will be shitposting about how good XX is.

>waaah super deviants are a pain
>waaah striker lance
>waaah remove styles and arts
Yeah, ok

lolno
XX is true trash
can't wait for you to falseflag just so you can look like you were right

where the gammoth doujins at

>Deviant quests are a nightmare grind
>Relics were not
Fuck off.

t. shitposter who's not actually playing the games

The nightmare is when you get fucking sick of hunting one monster but you only get one ticket for a shitty quest that takes too long.

Guild quests and relic gear were fine because there was room variety and all kinds of neat equipment dropped. I know someone is going to say that it was just double rajang 140 rooms but it took months for it to get like that.

I wonder how many soulsfags from 4U constantly shitpost about MHX/XX purely because "anime" triggers them.

>"I cant maintain infinite sharpness"
>"Why would they nerf Weakness Exploit?"(again)
>"Styles and Arts added much more depth before MH5 took them away"
>"MH5 has no endgame" or "MH5's endgame is RNG again like 4U"
>"Why would they force us to grind multiple shitmons for the best gear?"
The cycle is already laid out, its just waiting for the day it'll be set in motion

80% of the general, like right now

spoiler ; they love xx

>The nightmare is when you get fucking sick of hunting one monster but you only get one ticket for a shitty quest that takes too long.

Then why do you want Guild Quests back? That's literally the exact same shit.

Spotted the falseflagger
Because 4(YOU) IS BEST MONHUN GEYM

Gammoth sucking someone off with her trunk

I didnt know I needed this.

Stockholm syndrome for the Rajang dick.

Rolling for equipment with random attributes is fun while none of the deviant equipment has a great payoff.

Because you fucktards can't understand Relics aren't meant to be farmed just like charms.

Jokes on you, it was Diablos+Rajang for me

god damnit. farming the fatalis weapons takes so long.

>Rolling for equipment with random attributes is fun

Please go play an MMO or something and stay out of Monster Hunter. And take all of the "I play a support role!" fags with you.

>Monsters can not be staggered out of the air or killed while retreating

this is bullshit

I have issues with several things about XX too but several things on your list are just wrong dude

God damn I hate 4U nostalgia babbies

>hurr durr Gen made everything too anime
>I miss my tedious MMO mechanics

because good relics were so easy to find, right

I remember you fucking idiots nutting when the mining trick was discovered

I bet you like charm farming too, faggot.

Because crafted weapons didn't exist
Because the game crashed if you weren't using a perfect relic
Because you couldn't cheat them in

You're right about that one, I remember staggering limping monsters before
But you cannot knock flying monster out of the sky when retreating I'm pretty sure of that.

What else is wrong, I'd be happy to learn.

I've killed fleeing bird wyverns with an HBG before. It's totally possible, but not easy because they fly away very quickly so you only really get a few good shots in on them.

You're full of shit. Monsters can't be killed while they're fleeing, you can't trap them and they will only die after they've changed area, the HP caps at 1.

Either I got memed on or you're lying, please provide a source.

>you can't trap them
Outright bald-faced fucking lie.

Happened more than once in the Thunderlord capture in the tundra, drop a trap, beat it up and it's walk right past it.
