The Rinsect feels finicky to me. How does one aim the Insect at parts of the body? I read that the insect will steal different buffs per different body part.


You can tag a body part with r but that sucks and everybody just manually shoot insects with rxa or rx. The only time you would tag is if their red buff parts are too high to hit manually.

So the answer is basically git gud.

This is definitely a much better demo than the 3U demo. Leaps and BOUNDS better. Having even a brief description of the moves is nice, not to mention multiple difficulty modes.


Also Im a dumb idiot for facing Gore Magala for the first time with a great sword :qq: hes so spooky

I love how much more fluent the hammer feels in 4u, no big changes were made but it just feels so much smoother to whack fools in the head. First try on the gore magala using it I took it down with 10 minutes to spare.

CPP is the much cheaper option for this.

The new camera is loving amazing, but I can see why people who mash L all day don't like it. Get a CCP, it will change your life.

So is 4 designed for the new 3ds? Faster anything other than load times? I know it can use the C stick for camera controls, but my impression is that it was made with the original 3ds in mind.

From what I've heard, the new 3DS runs the game at 60 fps pretty much full-time, as opposed to the standard 3DS which experiences the occasional chug during multiplayer.

Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

Okay, so thoughts so far:

The game seems smoother and faster-paced, which took some getting used to, but feels nice once you do. There's a pretty small sampling here, but it feels like it'll make what are usually slower paced fights feel closer to fighting the more aggressive monsters. The faster climbing/mantleing feels great, too.

The graphics seem sharper than 3U, but also uglier. Like, everything in 3u looked like ps2 graphics coated in vasoline, and this looks like ps2 graphics uprezed to HD. Menus and UI elements look way better, but environments look a little worse.

I've already said I don't like the full-3D camera. If people considered a CCP a nice addition for 3u, it seems almost necessary for this. I have to work the camera all the time. If the camera could be "locked" vertically in the same way it is in 3U this would be no problem and the 3D movement would be an improvement over the angles; as it is I find myself wishing it was left alone.

Tetsucabra is a cool fight. I like that he has breakable parts that affect the fight (breaking his tusks stops him using them to pick up boulders). He isn't the first monster to behave that way, but too often they don't. gently caress you, Queropeco, you can't make fire by bashing your bare wingtips together after I smash your flints! What's the deal with his tail, though? It sometimes looks like it's covered in mud ala Barroth, but it doesn't smash off as much as fade away and appear again seemingly at random. I can't tell any difference in his attack patterns or damage from his tail either way.

Gore Magala is sort of what I expected, he fits into the same arechetype as Narga and Barioth, except he's willing to use his wings more often. Dragon Virus is a neat idea, too. I like how the sky darkens ominously when he's enraged, and that he gets a new breakable part in that state. He 3 carted me, but I only count the first death because the others were due to me trying to rodeo him repeatedly like a dork.

Speaking of rodeoing, I like it. I thought when 4 first got announced that the idea of riding monsters wouldn't fit with tge game, or would change combat too much. I like what they came up with; it's like Tri's pins, but you're the one doing them to the monster. Doesn't seem too powerful, but does seem worth doing. Prettt much the best way to implement it. I imagine it being useful in online, because it will give the other hunters a chance to sharpen/heal in peace.

E: Does the lance armor have evade up, or did they increase the sidestep range from 3u?

Yeah, im using the new 3ds xl and if you dont like the new camera then it looks like you need to buy a peripheral or something because this new camera system is fantastic with the c-stick.

Setting aside the CCP or new3ds nub making it easier to correct, I don't see anything to like about the new camera lock. Why would I ever want my camera angled upward in a fight for more than 2 seconds? The lock constantly either plants the camera on the ground staring up or centers on my back in a way that makes my own body heavily obstruct my view. With another analog stick this would be manageable, but still never desireable behavior.

Sidestep range seems increased, I think. You can't check armor skills in the demo though.

Also the new camera is amazing.
