Huntress post

List of casualisations in MHW:

>Healing while running, can dodge while healing
>Moving while shooting
>Heavy and Light bowguns have infinite special shots
>Voice acting and flies telling where to go and what to do
>Too much mobility and anime-esque attacks straight out of XX, including adept dodges with the LS and GS and flying through the air with the IG
>Environment is as good as attacking a monster
>Free traps, flashbugs, etc, everywhere
>Free farcaster that can be used anytime, anywhere as long as you're not near the monster
>Equipment changing mid hunt, including weapons and armor
>Can refill your potions anytime in free hunts, no longer a challenge like they were in Tri or 4U
>No G-Rank
>Guild and village quests were merged, and likely are balanced for single player only, playing coop is now even easier than before, expect end game monsters to be flinchlocked and die in less than 3 minutes, no challenge whatsoever.
>Monsters are much slower and don't adapt well to the environments.
>Grappling hook, which can be used to grapple to high areas and dodge attacks almost instantly, as well as giving you plenty of time to heal.
>Even easier mounting thanks to much lower mounting threshold (sometimes activating the mount after 1 hit) and the after mentioned grappling hook, which takes you right back into the monster even if you fail the mount
>Heartbeat telling you when to capture
>Damage numbers, prompt on screen that shows you combos and prompt on screen that shows breaks (can be turned off)
>Most weapons were casualised and made overpowered. Almost all of them had their aerial, brave and adept movesets merged
>No negative skills and the new skill system makes so you don't need 10 points for a skill to activate
>Armor is the same for both Gunners and Blademasters
>Egg carrying is easier
>Mantles give you OP abilities like flying through the air, never be seen by the monster or a FULL NEW HEALTH BAR

This pasta is so stale.

With Monster Hunter World coming out in January for the consoles, should a PC Master race such as myself buy a PS4 or wait? Black Friday is fast approaching...
If I should, PS4 regular or PS4 Pro?

can't wait to make alatreon great sword in world

Not casualisations, but problems overall

>Generic orchestral, awful sounding music as well as awful voice acting
>Focus on story
>Generic, non-MH like monster designs
>PRE ORDER BONUSES and day 1 DLC
>Unbalanced weapons. They still don't give a shit about the GL and HH, they're both still extremely underpowered, with the HH in particular recieving no new moves whatsoever.
>Time limited quests
>Prowler mode removed

It's so stale AND most changes that make the game ((((easier)))) are in fact to adapt to the game now being in one big map, with no loading screens between areas.

Remember to eat your veggies(meat)!

Never buy a console for one game, especially not one that's not even exclusive.

>problems overall
>Prowler mode removed

Still not refuted.

For you

>Prowler

>tfw caved and bought a PS4 last weekend

I'm weak. At least I'll get to play the beta and there are a couple games on PS4 I'd like to play. I'll probably even double dip and get it on both PS4 and PC.
Been playing Horizon all week except for yesterday. It's pretty neat. Yesterday I played Deep Rock Galactic. It's okay.

>Music isn't much different than most other MH games
>'Oh no, we have a reason to hunt monsters now.... Oh wait, there was always a story...'
>Monsters still look like MH monsters. Big, pointy, and covered in something.
>You got me there.
>Have you played the game? Can you prove they will be as underpowered at launch, given that it's still being developed??
>Always been a thing, so what?
>That is a shame.

>"hurr this completely optional and harmless mod is bad hurr"
Kill yourselves.

What mantle gives you a full new health bar?

Obviously glider

Exactly how many times can you copypasta the same thing and not consider it as spam?

Yeah, I should have stressed as much as I realllllly want it for MH:World, I am also looking forward to trying all those damn exclusives I could never have.
Last of Us
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Bloodbourne
etc.

Oh yeah, I'll post the other two Qurulego.

Rocksteady mantle

>they even outright admit that the health mantle is essential to fighting endgame monsters
WOW MH IS FUCKING DEAD

Go fuck yourself mods, how about you do something about fucking crossboarding spammers

>tfw the mods are behind the shitposting

...

this proves the discord is behind it, they have a corrupt mod/janitor among them

>/v/ fag stale pasta complaining about crossboarders

you mean mantles are dead, which isnt saying much since we havent seen any genuinely useful ones so far besides this,

also, they probably havent unveiled the damage mantle, which will BTFO them all forever

I wouldn't take it too personally. He probably just scorched his mouth with the first bite of the hot pocket and lashed out against the first thing he came across.

You gotta let those things cool for a couple minutes, man. Nothing should go directly from the microwave into your mouth.

read the post and look at the picture again, dumb cringecat

You're misreading that, he was warned for reporting the spammer

oh didn't even read the warning indeed, my bad

Take a lap. Go get a snack and some fresh air.

Don't forget how traps now deploy in about 1 second.

They do like to introduce a new feature only to undermine the entire thing with one choice that's blatantly superior to everything else.

I just wanna know if the Glide mantle will interact with Lance's charge jump at all
Wouldn't even be close to useful in a fight, but it could be funny to see

>rocksteady mantle gives reduced damage taken, knockback immunity, earplugs, wind res and tremor res for 90 fucking seconds
Mantles were a mistake and should have never existed
Literally my only problem with the game
Remove mantles

just don't use them :^)

don't use them then

This gonna be helpful for Diablos.

>using anything but the +30% damage mantle

I think its fair to say all the new options and "quality of life" changes that are given to the player are stacking up.

However, we don't know what the devs have done to counteract this.
>inb4 nothing

All they would really need to do is have the monsters deal more damage, and maybe speed up their animations a bit.

>using anything but the instant kill mantle

But they haven't done that. Monster damage is lower than ever, and they're all slow as fuck.

>don't use thing, that completely stops it from being part of the game's design
I hope it's shitposting

>why do all these low rank monsters seem so slow?

I dunno then man, think we could get them to tweak a few variables before release if we throw up enough of a shitstorm?

haha, what's the matter capcom? you confusing MH with GOD OF WAR???

>think we could get them to tweak a few variables before release if we throw up enough of a shitstorm
Yeah man you start

What'll be Worlds version of 140's/deviants?

High rank monsters are never any faster than low rank ones, they just do more damage.
G rank is where speed increases happen

I would eat that whole plate and gladly accept the coma I would go into afterwords.

Endgame event quest

Epicurus is rolling around in his grave somewhere

They might not move/attack faster but they spend less time jerking off between attacks

Source of that?

Not him, but I definitely recall that from a few pieces of gameplay footage

Skip to 4:06.

You need to come to my place for Labor Day weekend. The phrase of the day is 'meat feast' and I take it seriously. You'll get the meat sweats and you might die.

I'll give you some meat big boi.

You know, all this shitposting to desperately convince us MHW will be shit reminds me of the pre-release period of Bloodborne. It's like the same copypastas worried about casualization and such, even though Bloodborne ended up being the hardest Souls game of them all.

I can bet that when the release comes there will be that one faggot who spams the same 4-5 webbums of minor glitches, and he'll keep posting that shit even long after it's been fixed or patched out.

Even if the gameplay is truly casualized to hell, I'm glad World is taking mainline back to its low-fantasy, medieval sci-fi roots

>even though Bloodborne ended up being the hardest Souls game of them all.
PFFFFFFTTTTAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Thanks user, adding it to the list.

>Armor is the same for both Gunners and Blademasters
This is the one that hurts me the most.
No cute gunner armors anymore.

Its not going to be shit, nobody genuinely thinks that.

Its looks to be really good actually, however low difficulty is likely going to one of its major detractors.

If the other drawfag is here we can do a a collaboration if he gives me his blog

He's not wrong, spergs spazzing out about the EDW every game are some of the worst aspects about every new game.

Makes you big and strong!

Monsters you DON'T want to be in MH World?

Pic related. Or any monster that trips or flinches you for like 90 percent of the fight just by sheer virtue of it moving around.

Najarala would be fucking fine if their idea of making it harder for G-Rank wasn't adding homing scales to half of its attacks
Stygian Zinogre had the same problem, fine in HR, cancer in G-Rank

I might be alone on this, but I fucking hate the Duramboros.

Diablos and Rathalos but it's too fucking late for that

What's wrong with Diablos?
Seriously I've never had a problem with it. A para weapon makes the fight go by pretty fast too.

I sure can't wait for the demo boys

Me and my 4 dudebros have/will get Switches. These are American Switches. If we all import XX, will we be able to both play online, and play with each other using our friend codes and stuff.

considering monsters don't seem to need to turn towards you before starting their attack animations, it means less pivoting and nudging you with their feet, and more reading tells from any orientation

Yes

The console isn't regionlocked (unlike past nintendo consoles), only the account is. Make an alternate japanese account and you'll all be fine. Sometimes there's lag playing on jap servers but usually it's fine.

Rajang was a mistake

Wait, we can't play online with our American accounts?

You can

Ice najarala, there is NOTHING good about that fight
The hitboxes are so bad they make fu look good
The water shots are pure rng
It can deal your entire hp bar worth of chip damage in 2 seconds
Camera
It can chain its coil 3 FUCKING TIMES
Water gets the boot but this trash is ok?

Was the guy just referring to us buying it on the eShop? We're all physically importing, so everything is OK?

me too

>implying MH hasn't had low difficulty since Tri
Fuck off with this "MH is hardcore" narrative.

>low difficulty
>it looks to be really good actually
???
piss easy games can't be good

Than how come 3U and 4U are good games then?

>MH hasn't had low difficulty since Tri
I agree, but I can always hope for things to return to the way they were.

Not true, although it depends what you mean by "piss easy".

They aren't.
A game pretty much needs to have some challenge to it to have a point. Otherwise it's just an "interactive experience". Is that what you want MH to be?

your 140?

Yes they are. 4u is the best game in the series after frontier.

>A game pretty much needs to have some challenge to it to have a point. Otherwise it's just an "interactive experience". Is that what you want MH to be?

It does have some challenge, just not enough.
Its certainly difficult if you are new to the game at least.

I just wish fighting Elder Dragons was still a desperate struggle to avoid carting, rather than a test to see how quickly I can finish with as few potions as possible.

4U is dogshit and I wish anyone who thinks it's good would be fucking gassed

>reports a /v/ shitposter
>who SPAMS every thread, even on /v/
>reporter gets warned for it
are
you
fucking
kidding
me?

Why is Veeky Forums always full of these shitty fucking mods? This is now the 2nd fucking general with a corrupt up the ass moderator/janitor fucking with the general itself.

>i cant beat anything past lowrank so the game is dogshit
the absolute state of shitter general

oh you sweet summer child
