Before release I thought I would have a really hard time choosing what weapon to play because they all seemed so good and cool, but actually, Aerial Greatsword is the best weapon ever and there is no reason for me to play anything else

I am admittedly a scrub and never quite made it to G-rank but as far as I managed to progress in 4U, being able to mount monsters felt like a real gamechanger and was almost always totally worth whatever wall-climbing bullshit was necessary to pull it off. Is it just as effective in Gen or has it been toned down a little? I'm still very early in but I'm messing around with Aerial Style and it's kind of blowing my mind being able to vault up and mount dudes at any time, without having to worry about terrain By the way, only a couple hours in but I really love this game so far. I would be hesitant to recommend it to the people out there who wanted to like previous Monster Hunter games but couldn't enjoy them at all; while there are a lot of quality-of-live improvements it still doesn't overhaul everything that may have been a turn-off for some people. On the other hand, I'm in that middle camp where I liked 4U (my 3DS tells me I logged 80+ hours so I certainly feel like I got my money's worth) but never got quite obsessed enough to see the endgame. The little tweaks here and there in Generations are making a great impression on me so far though and I feel like this could be the game that really truly turns me into One Of Those Monster Hunter Guys

According to the activity log I played 13 hours of Monster Hunter today. I should probably go to bed. Maybe one more Tetsucabra.

It feels like it should get get boring really quickly but it it's unreasonably satisfying to land. For anyone else who hasn't seen The Light yet, Lion's Maw works incredibly well with Aerial style GS. I had written it off before, but it charges super fast so you can use it once every couple minutes if you're playing aggressively and aerial style means you get pretty safe level 3 charges on basically anything. I'm getting five minute kill times on great maccaws, something that I feel like I shouldn't be getting with a weapon I've only upgraded twice.

The new Style stuff seems kind of intimidating but also really interesting. They also change your base movesets too?

Yes. Guild style is your stock standard actions, same as 4U, and lets you have 2 hunting arts (big flashy moves). Striker removes some of your abilities but lets you take 3 hunting arts and they charge faster. Aerial locks some of your moves behind needing to be in the air, turns your dodge near a monster into a jump, and lets you use 1 hunting art. Adept gives you a perfect avoid (lets you dodge through an attack if you evade at the right time), locks some new/changed abilities behind that, and lets you use 1 hunting art.

megalodong posted:Under new game on the title menu, there's the option to do bonus data or whatever it's called. Once you do that, the option will be on the chamberlain on any save file, you don't actually have to start a new save. I was having this issue as well, claiming the bonus was the first thing I did even before creating a character and I assumed it would show up in game but it didn't. I went to the start menu and did as you mentioned, hit new game and then selected the bonus data again. When I went back into my file and to the chamberlain the bonus was there.

There's Moofah armor in this game (!!!) so I realized I had no choice but to use it. I like the "helmet"    I mixed and matched Moofah and Mafumofu armor, and now I am become Anime, Destroyer of Monsters  Also, a question: do you guys use two cats, one cat or go completely solo? I feel like everything's so crowded with two Palicos so I usually just run with one

gently caress is everything ever awesome. I've been using aerial switch axe, but I wanted from the beginning to branch out into a new weapon. I'm seriously tempted to start some adept bowing since it feels so, so good. Plus I haven't made a single armor piece because the starter set looks rad and nothing touches me, so my switch axe investment is minor. I know sweet gently caress all about bows though. I'll go watch/read tutorials, but can someone give me a quick pick for a good low rank bow?

I tried learning bow and in general you just want a bow that lets you capitalize on pierce shot as much as possible early on. At least that's what I remember before I gave up and went back to my normal shoot-guns. But if you're doing adept bow, maybe nab a bow that lets you use rapid over pierce?

Rapid is preferrable in most cases. Pierce bows are better for long monsters (plesioth, lavasioth, agnaktor, lagiacrus, etc) and wide bows are better for... wide monsters (same as before but viewed from the side. And I dunno, Amatsu and Akantor).

I gotta say, the new particle effects and such really help make a lot of the weapons seem more "impactful". It's taking all my willpower to not just use the hammer all the time again because it feels amazing in this game. Every blow is MASSIVE and the ground shakes and dirt flies when you smack it down. But I promised myself that I would use all kinds of weapons in Generations, so the hammer will have stay in the "break in case of emergency" case for now.

Do you have to have your weapon out in order to do the adept dodge? Maybe i just picked a bad first monster to really practice it on (cephadrome, with Hammer Adept) but it doesn't seem like you're able to too? I just wanna perfect dodge through attacks and bonk monsters on the head with my giant hammer. It was mentioned before but holy hell is this game open. I've only been playing about an hour and stuff is unlocking left and right and i can hardly keep up with it all

It's taking all my willpower to not just use the hammer all the time again because it feels amazing in this game. Every blow is MASSIVE and the ground shakes and dirt flies when you smack it down. Freedom Unite had generous gysers which was rad. 3rd gen had a more misty blood effect that I didn't really like, and 4th gen was sort of in between. I really appreciate a lot of the visual effects this time around, even if it is just the arcs of dust helping to identify where the hitboxes on player attacks. Mentioned was the longsword slicey arcs, which is a nice bit of anime visual flair, but it does help distinguish when you have the full spirit buff, which keeps player eyes on the action, and not glancing up at a gamey resource meter. A few things are inconsistent, but generally I do like that most of the visual effects are there for the sake of helping communicate what is going on, and isn't just a matter of flashy effects, although even if it were simply that, hits that FEEL harder are certainly more satisfying and fun.

I'm thinking of going bow or HBG but I've got a question first: Are there parts you can only obtain by cutting tails or other weapon-specific damage types? Do you need these for your weapon or armor? It would be annoying to have to switch to another weapon to get parts for my main weapon.

scissorman posted:I'm thinking of going bow or HBG but I've got a question first: Yeah there are specific tail parts and also other specific break parts. You can cut tails with a bow by using the melee attack, it takes a lot more time than swapping to melee for one hunt though. Boomerangs also do cutting damage so you can use those and the bow melee to cut them.

Bows have a Hunter Art that gives them cutting damage and blowguns have special bullets to cut tails.

Ethiser posted:Bows have a Hunter Art that gives them cutting damage and blowguns have special bullets to cut tails. Oh right, still not used to gen. yeah the bow hunter art fires 2 arrows with a cable between them that does cut damage. It's a timed thing so for as long as it is active you fire these shots.
