Made my dude look like a smug mid-west 1930s farmer version of david bowie complete with blindingly red mullet, gonna call my cattes ziggy and stardust.

Might be the greatest game I've ever played I don't know

This is definitely not a lie



Does anyone else appear to have a problem with the new MonHun 3ds where the touchscreen is "stuck" on the bottom? As in, it's constantly reading some sort of input and completely loving with my touchscreen.

I guess I'll have to send it to Nintendo but MH4U is digital and.. :(

I, frankly, want this smug Jagen to be my avatar on all forms of social media immediately.
I did not appreciate mounting until I jumped off the cliff in Area 7 of the Ancestral Steppes onto Seltas's back as he flew away, knocking him to the ground, and then Demon Dancing him to death.

I am going to enjoy this game.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
What weapons are everybody using?

I'm drawn to Great Swords, which I used in 3U because landing those charge hits when you know a boss' openings just right feels so satisfying. I've played around with Long Swords and Switch Axes and the Hunting horn as well in the past...

Hmmmm.

Loving how many monsters are in this one, its really bonkers. That's all I want from Monster Hunter sequels; more and more preposterous amounts of monsters to hunt.

In Tri I mained Lance, so I'm trying to avoid it now. Same with Longsword (FU) and Hammer (3U).

I'm not very far, but I beat Great Jaggi with the Glaive, Seltas with the Dual Swords, and I'm about to go for Seltas again with the Sax.

Bug evolution and staff line are different things. Your bug will become fire, and sending him to attack will do fire damage, but your staff will upgrade to the same weapon no matter what. All the glaives are single path.

So I have to commit to one bug? Do all the glaives share the same bug or can I get more bugs?

Are you afraid of commitment? You can't just raise a bug then throw it away. They have feelings, you monster.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

Each glaive gets it's own bug.

Yes, these problems are not that rare for the new 3ds. My first one had a broken L button out of the box, and the store where I exchanged it said touch screen problems are even more common.

I managed to beat Tetsucabra on my first try on the demo, so he shouldn't be all that bad either...

I wish this one was on WiiU too. Its cool to have it portable but the gamepad is sooo much more comfortable for 3D action games, and I love my TV.

RIP no themes. word is from customer service that due to MH4u coming with the LE system at a discounted price, no bonus. No idea if the themes will be available later for purchase.

By village quest, yes. You can get to him quickly enough via guild. People just recommend tetsu because it's defense oriented, and since he can be fought via village, he has reduced health. If you know the game, it's damage all the way, and it's just v drome, so double health won't mean poo poo.

I'm having a hard time caring about my weapon progression when they give me a rocket powered drill hammer in the first hour of the game, complete with afterburner effects. Is it only going to ramp up from here?

I killed him and other monsters in expedition for a while, since the other parts let me also upgrade my glaive to Bone Staff+ as well as get the velociprey armor

Killing LR poo poo just got wayyyy easier, since I went from 5 armor to 76 :v:
