Here's the funny thing: I actually have that LBG but never used it against A.Lagi yet. Another funny thing: I've seen another LBG user use the same weapon but never figured out what shot they were using (it looked like Normal/Pierce 2 being rapid-fired, but that LBG didn't allow those to be... well... rapid-fired). Now I know /o/

All-tree-on is kill ;_; (Actually, it makes me abandon the quest a lot)
I need a good "Great Sword" or a good "Sword and Shield" with a Dragon Element.

I like how the female armor looks for it. Too bad the set is hardly used. Still, I need to kill one to unlock the Hallowed Jhen Mohran quest.
Critical Dude
So I took on the All-tree-on again with the high rank Rath Soul armour, I got the tail but in the end I still got owned. ;_;

EDIT: Finally managed to defeat it, time for round two!

Added two videos to the OP
MH4U Trailer from July 11, 2014's Nintendo Direct (JP)


Mario & Link stuff in MH4U

By the way, should this thread continue to be used when MH4U comes out for the rest of us, or should I start a new one?
Critical Dude
May as well keep this thread open to MH4U discussions and more, after all it is called a "General Monster Hunter" thread so I'm guessing that you can talk about pretty much anything related to the Monster Hunter series.

Was just curious, because I thought there'd be some people who'd want a separate thread since spoilers and stuff, but I guess we could just use [spoilerbox] for that.

(Herp... I forgot to add the video you linked before to the OP.)
Critical Dude
In one of the videos you posted it looks like they finally updated the graphics for MH4U :]

Eh... looks the same from MH3U, honestly. Just my opinion, though.

Which is why I am happy, if you look at the old videos of MH4 for Japan, you'll see how the graphics quality was lowered to help improve the gameplay (mainly the game physics). But it looks like the updated MH4 (MH4G and MH4U) will have better graphics.
If this message comes up with some weird symbols then blame my 3ds.

There were articles saying that they had to delay the game to meet fan expectations or something, so yeah.
Azure_Kite
With more time comes in-depth optimization. It's a great thing they have it running smoothly enough to support MH3U quality again \:D/

If, by smoothly enough, you mean MH3U 3DS' framerate, then I'll be happy.

The framerate for the 3ds is often smooth, there are rare cases where there is some lag especially with the 3d turned on when fighting a high rank Brachydios or a Ratholos.
I'm more worried about what the framerate will be like when playing online because I don't want to experience lag when fighting a Savage Deviljho.

Same and it's the only monster that I'm not looking forward to fighting against

EDIT: I tried to take on the Dire Alice (downloaded version) but I ran out of time ;_;

A double post is needed:

Updated the OP.

I doubt I'll be using any of the weapons from the weapon design contests, but it's awesome to see that community-made stuff can make it into the game =o

They need to make a Monster Hunter animé ._.

Ugh... that seriously just needs to come out in other parts of the world already... It'd save the hassle of people getting the consoles they don't have/want ._. (Granted, you'd still need a decent computer, still...)
Azure_Kite
Yeah, all these darn Asia only games for awesome series annoy me :<

Especially if/when they go a VERY long way to ensure that people from other regions cannot play. Frontier checks to make sure your IP is in Japan and your system clock is within the Japanese timezone, for darn sake.

I know this would probably be cruel, but after reading a certain news article, it'd be interesting seeing a crossover with Pokémon.
Azure_Kite
Oh, wouldn't it.

If only.

Although that Mewtwo one looks more like a Fatal Frame moment than a Pokemon Hunter one :P
SuidCid
Haha Monster Hunter is my favorite series of games ever ^^
played MH3, MH3U and MHFU2 around 1200+ hours
I can basically use any weapon type exept lances. They suck. In 3U I completed every singlel village quests and alsmost all online quests xD

Sadly I can only play on weekends >< but I hope I can join in sometime

has the upcoming Monster Hunter Online already been discussed?

It has to some extent. It was basically just us wanting it to be released overseas, though.

Meanwhile, some interesting articles about MH4U:

While FUCK YES, TAIKO REFERENCES!!!!

I feel like pretty much anyone in the west will see it and say "I have no idea what that is."

And reminding me of that makes me sad :'(

NaomiMinette
Eh... That's the west for ya, lol.

EDIT: Jeez... now Animal Crossing? what else are they gonna add for MH4U?

EDIT 2: Tokyo Game Show 2014 trailer:



EDIT 3: I'm pretty sure some/most of you heard about the new 3DS models coming out later, right? Well! They'll be getting MH4U plates for the standard model, and we'll also be able to download a custom HOME Menu theme (all 3DS/2DS models) as well.

Of course, there's still the new3DS XL MH4U edition bundle that will (hopefully) come out overseas.
Azure_Kite
So...




This is a thing.

They may as well do Pokémon now >_> I'M SERIOUS!

EDIT: The desire sensor isn't real, apparently.

EDIT 2: Megaman crossover (Source):

monster hunter. best game. but so underrated.
Critical Dude
I have just realised that I am not very good with teamwork in multiplayer games (excluding worms). I have never played a Monster Hunter game with anyone else so I have no idea what to expect for this.
Azure_Kite
Depending on the weapon you choose, you will have to learn what combos to avoid around your friends, as certain combos have a tendency to send your nearby allies flying into the air (non damaging, but stops them attacking). Be aware of your teammate's positioning relative to your own, and you shouldn't run astray. It's sometimes nice to bring along some lifepowders to help heal your allies, though.
Topic Starter

Also, if you're a HBG/LBG user, DO -NOT- USE PELLET SHOTS OF ANY KIND! This actually extends to Recovery Shots as well, as you can actually heal bosses this way. If you feel like you NEED to heal others using them, make sure both/all of you are decently far away from the boss while also pointing away from it.

EDIT: As we wait on MH4U, have an... intersting crossover involving another MonHan game:

NotEvenDoomMusic
Just bumpin this up



Off-topic:
Don't wanna sound Nintendo fanboyish here but this year has been really big for Nintendo with the Wii U finally getting a good amount of games that shows it's qualities and the 3DS getting pumped with goodies.

I usually don't hype for companies but since E3, they've been doing an amazing job with satisfying their customers/fanbase.

More crossovers:




This is also apparently a series they have on their official YouTube channel (turn on Captions!):
