But that’s how it is when you start wanting to have things. Now, I just look at them, and when I go away I carry them in my head. Then my hands are always free, because I don’t have to carry a suitcase.

I'd be happy for the crafting list on the 'newer' weapons to not be 1/8 as varied as the old favorites.

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

So upon second viewing, blood seems to be still in and turned off in the weapon demos. Check out the final bit in the bow video; looks like they forgot to turn it off for that one.

Well they actually have to make new models and textures for this game for the old weapons, so you'll probably get your wish in the form of old weapons having fewer options.

New in Monster Hunter: World is the Mantle System! With this system, you too can feel the power of super armor, thanks to the might of the ROCK STEADY MANTLE! This equipable item functions as a timed buff with a cooldown and gives you ULTIMATE POWER! Via giving you super armor so yo rear end doesn't get knocked over. They use it in one of the gameplay videos, I think the english one but I forget. One can presume that it will work versus player attacks as well as monster attacks, although we don't know all the details about mantles yet. All we know is you can equip two, they have a duration when used, and maybe they have a cooldown before re-use? That last one is just speculation from UI elements on my part, although it would be logical.

Because in a physics engine its one of the best ways to determine things like collision?

gently caress, check out a GDQ some time. If you uncap the framerate in basically any game you start doing things like clip through walls once it gets high enough.

This is kinda old but I think it's interesting enough to say here. On nes and snes, it was hard to do collision detection quickly on their old as hell cpu. What they did was, on the graphics card, they put a "sprite layer" that the cpu tells to draw sprites, and *it* reports back whether those sprites collide with any other sprites. So changing the speed of the graphics card changed collision detection because it is literally the thing doing the collision detection. I don't think this has been done this way in anything since.

Sup.

I still think World still looks like shite. Still fighting for Double Cross. Still gonna buy MHXXS next month, localization announcement or no. Stlll not gonna give World a second of my time since they seem fine with making GBS threads on the people who made the series popular in the west in the first place. Still convinced enough that they won't localize it that I stand by my :toxx: if it is. I'll happily eat my account ban if it means getting to loving play more Monster Hunter.

I'm playing Double Cross on the Switch, with or without an announcement. Capcom maintaining radio silence is the dumbest thing they ever could in this situation. Aside from a curiously worded tweet, they've been quiet on the matter. What genius thought splitting the already small fanbase and increasing toxicity between the two sides in an already kind-of-lovely community of elitists would be smart? Look on their Twitter feed. Count the #MHXXForTheWest replies per post. People aren't loving happy about anything that's going on.

There's no conflict anywhere and that's what makes all of this even more infuriating. World is releasing next year on the PS4. Double Cross has been out for awhile, with the Switch version releasing in late August. No conflict of system OR release date. I get wanting to promote the next 'big' thing, but if they have any plans on MHXX coming over whatsoever, staying completely silent isn't the right way to go about it, because all it's doing is pissing off the side that wants more traditional MH over the flashy action of World. All they have to do - literally all they have to do - is say "We're focused on World right now but we do plan to localize MHXX later!"

Everyone would be happy! People who think World look rad as gently caress would get to be excited about the new direction the series seems to be going in. Those who prefer the (relatively) slower old style would get to be excited because they would also be able to play MH on their TVs. And that would give people who want both something to play while waiting on World to get released! Absolutely loving no one would be as annoyed about World as they are if we got something - anything - that said they weren't just 100% abandoning Nintendo fans and their systems.

Capcom super hosed up by not just releasing these weapon trailers first thing.

I don't think they've hosed up on MHXX yet though in that it'd be the norm to get it next summer and would have been unusual to get it this year. If we don't get it next summer though then, yeah, they hosed up. If the HD rumble ends up being cool enough I might just import.

Anyway, looks like an english version of the weapons demos came out, with new explanations.

Edit: Seems like it's mostly just descriptions of the weapons and not explanations of the new moves.

I have a Switch and live in Japan. I am thinking of picking up the Japanese Monster Hunter Switch for my son's birthday. How difficult will it be for us to get through Monster Hunter XX if neither of us can read Kanji and only have a limited understanding of Hiragana/Katakana? We've both played Monster Hunter before but my son was too young to really get into the game back when 3 came out for the 3DS. He managed to make his way through Dark Souls 3 with a guide that showed him what items were what. I imagine there will be something like that for this game right?

The hardest part of playing on the 3DS for me is trying to read the more complex kanji on the small screen, so if he was able to manage Souls he should be able to manage MH I imagine. Kiranico is good about having Japanese and English names on the same page, so it's not too hard to cross-reference and figure out what you're looking for in terms of items or quests. Knowing Katakana at least would be helpful though, since Monster names are all in it, but if you just remember the shapes that's fine too.
