What I really don't get is why they decided to make Navirou an eldritch abomination when there are perfectly adorable and normal cattes in the same game.

Yeah, that's a weird thing.

It doesn't even have a Japanese voice track, so you'll take your Monster Hunter gibberish and like it! :v:

Wait, it's not even Japanese? It sure sounded Japanese...ish? I don't speak a lick of it so I couldn't tell. That's even more baffling.

Point stands. Please say there's an option to turn the voices off in the full game...

MH-speak is pretty much designed to sound kinda Japanese, but still be gibberish. I know that at least for the Diva's songs throughout the series, the lyrics were written in Japanese, translated to French, and THEN transliterated back to Japanese. All to make it sound both similar and different at the same time. I don't think the same process is done for normal speaking. This also means that the Meowtress's amazing song at the end of Generations is entirely in gibberish. The official soundtrack does have an actual Japanese version of the song, and it sounds rather different.

If there's anyone whose opinions I trust on stuff like this it's Gaijinhunter so this game's back on my radar. It's free to play so at least I won't be out anything but time if it turns out bad.

From what I've seen my interest is gonna depend on the release window and how much more polished it is from the alpha. Right now, not a big draw for me.

My impression of Dauntless is that the weapons are boring, the monsters have two or three moves, and the art style is ugly.

Though to be fair, it does look like it has improved since the first gameplay we saw.

The art looks like it's inspired from Wildstar, people have been saying that the dodging is more forgiving than traditional MH games. We have for sure seen the early game and not much else, which gives the challenge aspect of the game room to grow. I am more than willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. If this ends up like a Diablo 3 to PoE version of Monster Hunter, I will be more than satisfied.

I've been revisiting HH in G and though the arts are poo poo the double note system is really good. I think the worst part of horn all around is that it prolongs what should be quick triple carts. On high lvl deviants or even some of the meaner elders +100 defense will keep a lot of people who would otherwise get blown the gently caress up instantly alive and flailing around for much longer than they normally would. Good players will take HH buffs and demolish a quest but those who aren't attacking, just eating charges and tails then chugging potions when aggro is off them a quest that would normally be failed in like 5 minutes takes 25.

In my bullshit "If I ran the Zoo" american monster hunter game, my idea was that you have to buy tags from the Carver's Guild before the hunt and have to choose to attach them to things during play. After the hunt is over you they give you a random selection of parts as your percentage but you can haggle for specific bits instead or just pay extra cash to outbid their buyers.

It's definitely not Plesioth and probably a mud-swimming species of Lavasioth which is just as trauma-inducing :argh: it makes a bunch of appearances in this trailer.

Despite fighting him over and over since Freedom Unite, Diablos is one monster I never got comfortable fighting and I still hate facing him to this day.

That video about the gameplay loop is incredible though. Look at all those high-resolution armors. It's night and day with the old visuals.
