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

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

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

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 :'(

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.

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!):

I can barely wait for MH4 to come out, I'm always getting way too excited about new releases .

Costume Hunter 4 Ultimate confirmed:

Pamarduk
Osu has a lot of blademasters...
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
Probably because Gunners are weaker defense-wise, but I enjoy playing them depending on the boss.
Pamarduk
Also probably because they're more beginner-friendly. I myself was a BM-only hunter until later in MHFU's deadly G-rank, where I started using heroics bowgun.

Dual Black Blos is BS >_>
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
Not really sure if I agree with Gunners being beginner-friendly...

1) They have to keep buying ammo/coatings (at least to finish some monsters fast enough, even moreso for LBG/HBG users), which gets pretty expensive in the long run.
2) Again, they have weaker defense (which means they're more likely to die quicker).
3) Shots need to be close enough to deal noticeable damage.

On the upside, the specialized shots/coatings are guaranteed to build up status conditions as opposed to Blademasters' weapons causing a random chance. I guess what I only see as Gunners being beginner-friendly is that they (obviously) can pick off monsters at a distance, but then point #3 still applies, so... *shrugs*

In my opinion, anything that has a shield is probably something new players can get used to right away.
Pamarduk
Oh whoops, sorry, by "they" I meant BM <_<;

I agree with all your points. Gunner's low def also means the hunter have to master the art of Evading to truly be safe when attacking close-range. Unless they don't mind repeatedly sheathing and unsheathing, which is a pain against some rage modes.

probably the most beginner-friendly weps are LS and SnS, and to an extent, SA. looks like the INsect Glaive and the new axe is also becoming this, too (4U added some fixes and new moves to the axe, IIRC?).

That's what Nargacuga's armor set is for :P
Pamarduk
Lol yeah. Successfully evading an attack right in front of you feels satisfying as hell :D

I'm not looking forward to the endgame boss in MH4U, spoiled myself with YouTube.
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
Endgame bosses usually suck in general (solo, anyway), so eh...
Ava
Okay so I'm playing MHFU atm (I know it's a bit late to play it) and know getting stuck at HR quests due to my either low def or low atk power. So what should I do first?

1. Get a new gun (either LBG or HBG, I can use both)
2. Get a new blade (I can only use LS)
3. Get a new armor set

Pamarduk
Get better BM armor. Black Katana Mk.3 is decent enough to slash through the thing. You might wanna train with other BM weps too, like Hammer or something. Onslaught Hammer makes quick work of everything in HR.

If you're good with Gunning, then yeah, get a better gun. and if you're honestly REALLY good at gunning (which means dodging while shooting and all that), focus on HBG, it can become broken with the correct skill set.

what rank are you?
