What are the best MH games? I've only played Tri (which was terrible) and Stories which was great
Christian Morgan
nth for VERY spicy doggo running at incredibly hihg speeds
Easton Russell
Anyone know how long the main story is in Stories approximately?
Isaac Rodriguez
So as a person who has so far neglected ranged weapons, and reading and ...
Why would one use LBG over HBG? Is LGB more viable solo due to mobility, or is HBG just the better choice in any situation? Maybe LBG is better against high mobility monsters like Tigrex or Narg?
Justin Baker
>not luka dropped
you probably won't like any of mainline, as far as I know the closest to stories is spirits which is an arcade cabinet game in japan
Oliver Rivera
I'm more of an LBG fan myself this is coming from someone who mostly plays DB though so I'm biased towards speed
Ian Allen
If any of you are playing Stories can someone tell me where the FUCK I can get Agnaktor? It's not in the volcano, I've been here for hours just waiting for one to spawn. I need to kill one for a quest and get its egg for a different quest, but I can't fucking find it and it's pissing me off.
Hunter Adams
LBG is fun and versatile. HBG is kind of a one trick pony, it uses normal or pierce depending on the size of the monster and just shoots and does raw shot damage. LBG applies status at will, gets good mileage out of elemental ammos for raw-resistant monsters, can make crag/cluster sets actually viable by stretching out the ammo with rapidfire (crag also KOs monsters basically at will), can use slicing to take off tails and kill slicing-weak monsters (most of them) easily (again stretching the ammo out with RF), and under certain circumstances can load all ammos at once in some games (4U and X/XX, it's better in X/XX since there's no tradeoff but you trade RF for that ability in 4U). In X (Generations in the west) it also ruins most monsters with pierce elemental ammos.
Josiah Hughes
I'm not sure how similar 3U is to Tri, because I never played Tri, but I love 3U.
Maybe try emulating some of the PSP games?
Mason Morgan
Luka is a slut!
Parker Wright
you're a slut! fuck you!
Daniel Phillips
...
Aaron Perez
but what's terrible about tri
Josiah Sullivan
Lack of content, that's it.
Nolan Thomas
kill yourself nephlol
Julian Wright
Even though it's different and a spin-off, I wonder if Stories will actually get me wanting to be more invested in Monster Hunter. I've played the first couple hours of all of the 3DS games and then dropped them.
I think it's largely 'cause I dislike how the hunter looks. I can't self-insert as this huge Amazon chick that could probably break a persons spine with her bare hands, so I like how Stories lets me be animu.
Brandon Diaz
...
David Ortiz
thats not very nice
Lincoln Reed
>in need to self insert >as a female >as a child You have brain problems.
Alexander Garcia
Just accept you only like Stories, no need to shit up mainline.
Ethan Rodriguez
What about bow? Which one is harder?
Gavin Martinez
>implying i'm not female >implying i didn't know i have brain problems >not self inserting in your games when the player character is a blank canvas user please.
Ryder Ross
>the game that made the lance god-tier >was terrible
Blake Taylor
>self-inserting >ever
Anthony Johnson
>>not self inserting in your games when the player character is a blank canvas Sick fuck take your pills.
Noah Barnes
Does crit element work on Blast?
Lucas Bailey
Status Crit
Brandon Hall
trannyposter out
Alexander Wood
I got myself a peco in stories. Someone said I needed the fucker to get the earliest possible Tigrex on the snowy area but all it summons are the usual pig, khezu and zammy. I just want my boy rex man
Alexander Rodriguez
if you have the slay quest, you can find tigrex eggs in any rare nest there
Jeremiah Foster
No since blast isn't an element, it's a status.
Nathaniel Brown
For anyone playing Stories, does anyone know how Gene Channelling effects a monster's appearance?
Julian Kelly
If you give them element attack from an element they don't have naturally they will get a one time colour change, you can make an Ice Ludroth then replace all the ice genes with fire and have an ice-looking ludroth spitting gravios beams
Bentley Adams
Bow is far more simplistic and versatile, since you don't need to prepare a fuckton of ammo types before the hunt, and the different shot types and charge abilities give you a lot of options.
I would recommend the bow someone just starting to use ranged weapons, but it's so different in terms of controls from LBG and HBG it won't actually tech you much aside from how to approach a ranged battle in the most general terms.
Jackson Bennett
hit the nail on the head. If you like GS or Hammer, then the Bow is their spiritual brother in mechanics i.e. precision attack, charging, larger focus on positioning etc...
Henry Mitchell
How is Sharkfrog in stories? Is he a good monster?
Logan Flores
I want an autistic loli hunter gf!
Nathaniel Butler
pretty balky
Carter Martin
Mine has been a huge help so far. High defense so he can tank hits. Has a skill to give himself ice armor to tank more hits (and make his normal attacks icy), and an ice beam which hits all enemies and is great for wiping out 3 monsters at once. He shits on pretty much everything in the desert.
Noah Sanchez
Too bad it's a pain to ride, kut-kians are the best mounts.
Daniel Wilson
True. It's a neat bit of flavor that he hops like a frog, but it kinda makes me not want to make him my lead unless I need to go swim or I'm about to go into a battle he's right for. I enjoy riding diablos and REEEEing little faggots into nonexistence.
William Morris
I like both of them equally but whenever playing solo I tend to prefer LBG because of versatility, but it's nowhere near as satisfying as the HBG. Someone in the replies brought up Bow, which I also enjoy, maybe between LBG and HBG solely because no worrying about ammo types. It's way too simplistic though.
Chase Gray
>Is LGB more viable solo due to mobility, or is HBG just the better choice in any situation HBG is pretty much always better objectively but LGB is more forgiving due to increased mobility (FU HBG Tigrex is a real early test of mastery) and more varied in a "jack of all trades master of none" kind of way. While crude you can compare the bowguns to SnS and CB, CB is "objectively better" but if you like the playstyle of SnS then it doesn't really matter, does it?
Leo Watson
>>>not self inserting in your games when the player character is a blank canvas I would tell you that you are cancer and you should get the fuck out but this general is so trash at this point in time that you fit right in.
Nolan Davis
you dont self insert, you adopt the persona of the protag, this is video games 101
Noah Young
>I enjoy riding diablos and REEEEing little faggots into nonexistence. ah, i see you are a man of culture as well
Adam Gomez
>"female" can't enjoy a game unless self inserting as a loser and gets upset at fictional females better than "her"
John Stewart
I've read Sand Barioth only spawns in the postgame. I got 2 shitty eggs thanks to its quest but can you actually find them casually since you can't repeat it?
James Gutierrez
>lance and gunlance are ultimately shit cause they need extra skills to maych the utility of other melee weapons, detracting from pure attack buff skills dumb capcom never playtested their own games ever.
Brody Long
>wear blos armor and use blos GS >REEEE skill takes little enough kinship that you can use it as soon as a battle starts >everything either falls over or dies
I love this.
Camden Gray
Does the Discord like Stories or are they Frontier and XX only?
Cooper Long
>asking a website about a chatroom do you go to the market to ask whats at home depot
Tyler Mitchell
>valfalk invasion during village urgent >want to check him out a bit so I go and fight him >faint within 1 minute of getting to his area >"Valfalk has left the area"
what a disappointing series of events
Ryder Cox
I can't settle on a favorite monster. Black Diablos is old and reliable and I keep turning back to its armor no matter what weapon I use. Deviljho is the perfect design, though. Seregios is cool, and Shagaru Magala is the best winged elder dragon. Great Wroggi is also underrated af. How do you decide?
Asher Gonzalez
Do you believe everything you read here about the discord? Go and find out yourself.
Jordan Scott
>he didn't play Tri
Isaac Evans
Game suddenly got kind of hard. I feel like my monsters might not be up to par anymore.
What's the best way to go about building monsters? Running around trying to find rare dens for the better eggs (smellier and heavier) seems really inefficient. It'd be better if I had some of the ritual items that unlock gene slots, but I haven't found a single one yet (at the Volcano).
I'm also not really sure what genes I should really be going for, other than having at least one monster for each element. Any suggestions?
Caleb Sanders
>Diablos anything No
Oliver Cook
I can't help it, user. The wings are dumb, but the roar, and the attacks, and the gear you make from it... it's just so good.
Jacob Anderson
what do you need besides maybe e+1
Charles Taylor
Nothing, he's a shitter.
Leo Fisher
it's shit anyway
Ayden Wilson
Well I don't ever liked monster hunter but Stories is awesome and I want to know if I can play Stories and chat with them at the same time there because I can't do that here. And if there is voice chat maybe we can watch the anime at the same time and chat with the voice chat while watching together. It easiest to ask here first if we can do this before making a account for the discord. Thanks.
Henry Torres
e+2, or Guard+2, pptentially even guard up Neither can get through everything anyway.
John White
you dont need to make accounts for discord, get spoonged you faggot infant
Kevin Cooper
I'm loving Stories so far.
Nathan Cruz
You won't find that anywhere. Overkill, you don't need to evade or block everything, you're supposed to watch your positioning.
Brody James
>And if there is voice chat maybe we can watch the anime at the same time and chat with the voice chat while watching together hello redundancy department of redundancy
Isaac Wood
>Guard up >Ever Nigga you have a backhop Literally everything that needs guard up besides maybe Zamtrios' laser (just because he can potentially do one of his other moves out of the startup) can easily be dodged.
Jordan Hill
I give you the gear and even the looks but the encounter itself is the definition of meh (not saying anything about difficultly) on its own and worse than meh when you factor in those flow breaking and easy as shit to dodge digging attacks. Any monster that has that shit is a minus 2 points in my out of 10 scale instantly.
Of course this is subjective and you can like whatever you want obviously but I just don't it mechanically unless a healthy dose of nostalgia is added to the mix. I mean I love Rathian because it was the first encounter that really hooked into the series so I can't judge you for anything.
Josiah Perez
some people play stories but it isn't being talked about much and you wont find people to watch anime together no. the shitposting has been worse than the thread lately though, you are warned.
Jacob Nelson
Hi, /mhg/. Just wondering: Have you ever considered masturbating to a monster?
Nathaniel Bailey
Dumb response from a retard who somehow forgot Lance and Gunlance are the slowest moving weapons, so yes they actually do need evasion and or guard to match the defensive or evasive utility of other weapons.
Lincoln Scott
You need g+2 if you want to do the funnest lancing, which is counterlancing.
Guard up is a luxury, though.
Kayden Rodriguez
e+2 is a waste of skill points, either take your training wheels with e+1 or go full cheese with e+3.
Ethan Murphy
>Lance >Slow lol
Austin Hernandez
>implying a single discordfaggot is decent enough to even make it past diorex
Luis James
Literally the only use for Guard Up is Gravios, because it's the ONE time it actually saves time. You're retarded if you seriously believe you need more than G+1 or E+1, sometimes G+2, they're not even that slow with long backhops and running stabs. You don't need it because you can't counter most moves that need G+2 to be countered, basically you'll be stabbing the air, not the monster, better just block or evade.
Gavin Richardson
Is switch axe just an inferior longsword?
Christian Sullivan
Forgot to mention, this is Stories, if it wasn't obvious already.
Dylan Martinez
This. In XX Capcom had the right idea to add guard point to GL's moveset, but with how weak guard+2 was, it's all for naught. I really hope they buff guard skill in World.
Ian Thomas
Where is Ash Kecha in stories at
James Perez
Have you not played XX? Gunlance and Lance were goven extendes utility with guard points, but they're only as strong as the shield itself, requiring Guard skills to utilize them and make them even matter reliably. Meanwhile, DB, CB, and LS also get guard points that can phase through everything for free, so they dont have to waste skills on guard shit. Alternatively if you want to dismiss those and use evasion, thats still skills the other weapons dont need. Even evasion1 is a 10 pt skill thatd be better used on attack buffs, when even evasion2 isnt enough to get past quite a lot of moves.
Dumb nigger.
Hudson Edwards
The only shit +2 can't get past are roars and you can block roars, E+1 is more than enough.
Hudson Cruz
Just got this little fucker Gave him a cute name.
Lincoln Barnes
swaxe is more fun
Matthew Bell
>him
Anthony Parker
>Playing XX
Liam Martinez
>e+3 >playing 4u in 2017 Kill yourself. You should always assume people are talking about the newest game, that currently being XX. Hack your 3ds you dumbass.
Asher Rogers
You're in for a wild ride, that nigga is broken, give him Gendrome's parabite asap
Dylan Kelly
>playing shit games
Sebastian Richardson
>playing the game with the robot
Jose Fisher
>Have you not played XX? No I don't play trash
Nathaniel Collins
You cant e2 hop past lingering hitboxes. You can e2 hop through roars just fine, so really you're the shitter not knowing what you're talking about. Awful dumb of you to do that.
Easton Gray
>said the retard playing 4U If you're not still playing FU at the moment, your opinion is invalid.
