I completely forgot Kirin was a thing so I was wracking my brain trying to figure out if they made a whole new model for her or if they were torturing some other monster's skeleton into a horse shape.

Stupid hoppy horse, god I hate Kirin.

lol RIP

I just saw a recent video on some new elements of MHW and they've added a training room so you can test out your weapons and have infinite ammo for guns, pretty legit. There's a lot of QOL change in MHW that are going to alleviate a lot of tedium that's overstayed it's welcome in the series.

All they need now, and I'm not even kidding, is a taxidermy museum for all of the monsters. I'd love to see a giant amusement park looking cave that just has all of the monsters on display for you look at without having to fight. Go the whole 9 and have little plaques to read to get info on the monsters too. It would be a cool thing to build up too.

Does deviljho spawn more in any particular area in stories or is it all random? I've only seen him once in the volcano when I was just spamming qurupeco and since it was the first time, I couldn't see his health bar and paintball when he got low

Everything just looks so good. Just about everything important that I remember having to repeatedly look up on gamefaqs when I played tri is now documented in the game. Probably shouldn't be that big of a deal after a decade, but at the rate they change these things, it's a great sign that they're finally evolving and adding these QoL features :stoked:

You can't get Jho to retreat until you get to the final mountain area. He'll show up everywhere from now on though, and can interrupt battles with other monsters

Untrue, I got Jho to retreat in the Volcano and picked up his egg there before doing the final three or so kinship stone story events and moving on to the last mountain. Fat lot of good it did though as he was rarity eight or somesuch and unrideable. :v:

Not quite the same, but in the same spirit; the last monster you captured is in captivity in the hub town and being studied. You can walk up and check them out.

Yeah I got one in the desert from Qurupeco singing and had to wait like 3 areas to be able to use it. I finished the main story last night and I still do not like Navirou.

I got the Navijho hat and its good.

Just finished the Stories main story. I actually really enjoyed Stories, if only because riding a Yian Garuga while wielding a hammer made from it's mommy's head and armor made from mommy's skin is way too fun.

i just completed the main tutorial of stories which I guess puts me at the hour mark

does it get more complex than now

because right now it's "see what attack the opponent uses" and "use the attack good against that"

EthanSteele
Nov 18, 2007

I can hear you
The early monsters all pretty much only ever use one type, later ones have different abilities and patterns (Yian Garuga always changes whenever you beat it in a head to head for example), but the combat will always be "figure out the pattern, use the right move" which makes the hunting horn really annoying for me. You get a bunch of different moves and your babies get a bunch of different moves and you can build ultimate babies by smashing them together so you have a Brachydios that burps on people or a Rathian that breathes ice.

Monsters can vary up their patterns. For instance, Royal Ludroth uses Technical Attacks after it hits you with a water-based attack.

Yian Kut-Ku has some crazy pattern that I was never quite able to wrap my head around.

Stuff like that.

Welcome to kirin. Please tell me story upped his evade or something. He's always been hard to hit cause he's so small and fast, and how dangerous he is doesn't help either.

If you press the camera button to take a photo, it will give you much better translations than the live ones.

My favorite of the live translations though is that for some reason every food item has "bitch" in it. Spicy bitch, salty bitch, savory bitch...

They've already said/confirmed that you only get one palico in MHW.

Personally I think that's nice. While it's cool to have a healer catte and a trapper catte or a bomber or whatever, it does get a bit less personal when you have a stable full of 50 cats. Having just one cat that you customize at the start of the game that's your cat is gonna be good :3:
