Zaphod42 posted:What do you mean 'scale up'? Its running at native resolution on the new 3DS. It does supposedly get slightly better textures though, so don't know why it would look blurry when my old 3DS XL looks just fine? That was just an example, the bottom screen text looks like rear end even if it's readable. It's not a big deal but it still looks bad.

I've found red buff to be the hardest to get usually but maybe that's just because I want it the most all the time. It's also really dependent on the monster too, for example Najarala is super easy to get red buff off, and the only time I ever see green buff is fighting typical dragon shaped monsters. It's also a bit weird that sometimes it's way better to be surrounded by little dudes in boss fights since theres quite a few who give off red buff, like the rhinoceros dudes and the velociraptor guys in V. Hollow. As a complete newbie I found the IG pretty fluid and fun but a bit tricky, though the most annoying thing by far is missing the R+X/R+A release button press/command for whatever reason and being rooted in place firing the dumb pellet instead of the bug.

Decus posted:How far are you from your router? How do you have your wireless setup on your 3DS? Manual or auto? Try things in this order: I'm a ways away from the router, but there's not much I can do about it unfortunately. I'll try the manual settings (thanks!) but otherwise I'll just have to keep trucking.

Just got murdered by Jaggi for the third time, this game seems pretty bad with the clunky controls, the unsatisfying combat, the poor story, and the lack of visual information, the customizable UI while a nice idea doesn't help much when you need to read a small novel to try and comprehend everything. I'm curious how much of people's 100+ hours of play are just trying to suss things out about what they're doing or grinding dino rear end, and how much is fun gameplay.

gently caress you spider oval office. I hate your loving poison spikes. Oh, what's that? You're trying to jump attack me? haha! tough poo poo! I'm going to do an attack animation that takes priority over your mount animation! Then I'm going to skitter around like a complete rear end in a top hat so you can never get into position!

Isn't it possible to just block poke a Great Jaggi with a lance? I mean, who wants to play that way, but it would work. Definitely use the lock-on. The lock-on is very useful.

Getting a little bummed out by the lack of upgrades for my insect glaive. I need gossamite ore to upgrade my scylla glaive, and presumably it comes from the next area I'll be visiting (heavenly mountain or whatevs) but being stuck with the same weapon for so long is kind of lame. I suppose I don't really *need* a new weapon because even the base glaive I've got is more than adequate for killing stuff but variety is the spice of life. High rank or bust, I suppose.

You'll unlock a lot more as soon as you hit high rank. I wonder if they made so few LR ones because upgrading them is expensive as hell and they didn't want LR players blowing all their money.

Totally unnecessary but still funny. Also, it seems like monsters that have status effects might be easier to ride? I'm sure being tired makes them easier to ride as well but that seems sort of obvious.

You're probably trying to do something that doesn't work, as evidenced by how it's not working. Try to watch a video or two if you can't figure it out. The controls aren't really that clunky, but you are locked into relatively long animations, which is an intentional design choice and also not very common.

I mean yeah maybe I need to get good, but does no-one see any flaws in the UI, when you have all these weapons, or trying to figure out when a hit is supposed to mount or not with the IG? Or when you get a quest to kill 8 Konchu so you run around and kill random things, except you have no idea what a Konchu looks like so you're just screwed? Yes, I'm bad at this game and maybe I'm not giving a fair shot, but that doesn't mean it's the perfect game for every gamer ever to play.

Turtlicious posted:NAh, I was pretty confident I was going to like it! I played a ton of Dynasty Warriors and Dark Souls and this seemed to be that but fighting dinosaurs. Dynasty Warriors is about as far from how Monster Hunter plays as you can possibly get while still actually being a dude hitting things with a sword. If you're trying to play it like DW then you're going to get murdered a whole lot. Be more considerate of how you're attacking, watch how the monsters move (although if you're getting murdered by actual Jaggi and not Great jaggi there's more issues going on) and don't over-commit to hits that would get you hit by attacks. Also the game is 100% grinding dino rear end that is also fun gameplay.

There's a big vertical flash when you get a hit that counts towards mounting, when you get a quest to kill stuff there's usually a description of what the monster is (not necessarily directly, but in a roundabout way, like it looks like a bug or a pillbug or something etc), there's a picture that looks like the monster, and when you harvest something, it usually will drop something that includes its name in the type of item, and when you kill random things, if it counts, your quest counter will increment, so you know if the thing you just killed is correct or not. Edit: If I'm not mistaken there should also be a menu somewhere that describes all the different types of monsters you've either seen or bought a book describing.

I think you may have skipped some stuff, because whenever new creatures are introduced they typically get a cutscene that shows off some of their behavior or abilities. Konchu have one and it's really early in the game so I dunno how you missed it. konchu intro narrated by some German guy

That and every monster (even the tiny ones now!) has a long intro video the first time you encounter it in single player that gives you a good long look at it. Some of which start off the fight in a specific way oh hi Gravios just gonna shoot your lava beam at me cool time to roll.

Yes, I'm bad at this game and maybe I'm not giving a fair shot, but that doesn't mean it's the perfect game for every gamer ever to play. No, because none of those things are problems, and nobody is arguing that its perfect Here are a laundry list of legitimate problems with the game: Too much loading Gathering is fundamentally poo poo and straight up needs to be removed Drops should be locked to specific breaks (Aka if you break rathalos' back you ALWAYS get a plate, etc) and not RNG-dependent Tying drops to damage types (can only pull off tail cuts with cutting damage) is a flawed idea imo The camera control has been a fundamental issue for the entire series and it's still not perfect Here are things I feel like the game should absolutely change but I know why they don't or won't: List every monster's drops and how to obtain them in-game List every possible combination before you make them (maybe tie it to an item you buy) Implement an item that locks a creature to a specific zone for a set amount of time Add the ability to pick up set traps Remove item bag limit Monhun is very niche and specific but you're bitching about the reasons people play this game the fact that there's no health bars and you have to actually watch the monster to know when you've damaged it/when it's weak is why I love it as much as I do NieR Occomata fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Feb 18, 2015 |
