So the digital deluxe is indeed digital only? That kind of sucks.

Monster Hunter is kind of like Splatoon for me. I get them digital so I don't need to gently caress around with discs or carts and it's always right there in my system.

I once spent a day looking for my 3ds cart of MHX and wouldn't you know I downloaded it digitally specifically so I never needed to do that, and forgot. :cripes:

Say, dudes. I'm trying to keep up but this thread is moving ridiculously fast.

My girlfriend recently got me to play through Monster Hunter Stories, which was wonderful. I know that it's a dramatic departure from the regular games, but there are elements of this game that also exist in regular Monster Hunter and I think I would like to try those. So Monster Hunter World is coming soon and I played the beta and thought it was okay, but I need some advice.

First: I generally play solo. I work a graveyard shift, which means (at least in the case of the last several multiplayer-focused games I tried) getting into a decent game when I am awake kind of sucks. Can this game even be played solo? Edit to add: I know it can be played solo, but what I mean is...is it going to be like hitting a wall of difficulty after the tutorial section?

I generally don't like multiplayer games. I heard on a podcast someone say something like, "Just jump into Monster Hunter, someone will quickly skip you through the first forty hours by giving you good equipment," or something like that. That's generally why I don't play; I LIKE the early grind. I like the first forty hours usually a lot more than the next forty hours.

I guess I worry that if I play this game, I'm going to just be playing catchup during lovely hours while the rest of the world is having a race to the endgame.

I had basically this exact same attitude when I played my first MonHun, and I had tons of fun playing solo and then when I finally jumped into MP non of my fears were founded. It's like you can play as much solo as you want, but MP is where you get to show off you skills and help other people. It's a different experience and totally worth doing also. Also the goon MH community is really chill and cool.

Also you don't need to worry too much about finding level appropriate people to do quests in MP if you're "behind" because there are always going to be people who are backtracking to get into a new weapon. Like they might have end-game longsword gear, but they just started playing with a bow and they want to practice and get mats for the next bow they need at the same time.

At least that was my experience.

So I have some questions about items--the demo gave you some poison and paralysis knives but I could never find a way to get them to throw. Hitting square just 'equipped' them, so I tried firing the slinger but that didn't seem to use them up. I'm not sure how to actually toss one. It's not like knives were ever a big element before but hey, they gave them to me.

Also has anyone managed a capture yet? (the thread had like seven hundred posts, I skimmed)

There was a vid posted a few days back of someone crafting tranq bombs and trapping successfully, so it appears to work the same way as previous games.

You just load them with square and then shoot them like anything else from the slinger so I don't know what you were doing

Yep. At least in Wildspire Wastes, you could grab sleep herbs and parashrooms to make tranq bombs (no bomb casing required). You can use those with the provided shock trap to capture things. That's how my group of newbies managed to down Diablos.

It's where you make armor look like some other armor for cosmetic reasons.

Like you can wear Made-up-drake armor because it's best for your build, but transmogrify it to look like Fictional-bird armor, because that looks cooler.

If you play Nioh, it's the same as Refashioning.

Having a physical copy is the only reason to buy it physical instead. Do you have internet speed and disk space? Then don't bother.

Transmog also is Transmog in World of Warcraft, and a more obscure touch point, Tap Titans 2.

This is probs what I'm doing but don't expect a fast download from PSN just because your internet is fast. PSN downloads can be painful.

Yeah PSN download speeds are notoriously slow. But you will be able to download the game a day or two before release, so it will be ready to go come midnight if you wanted to play asap.

As far as we know, transmog is NOT in. There are special cosmetic-only armors that are worn in cosmetic-only slots, such as the samurai armor, but you cannot put other types of armor in the cosmetic slots.

It's possible of course that transmog is still in and this is a separate system, but that seems unlikely, since if that were the case the cosmetic sets would just be blank armors you used to transmog other sets into.

Anyone else try the grimalkynes in the demo? There's a group right outside the middle camp in the wildspire wastes so I grabbed one for a couple hunts since the demo starts with them already friendly. I didn't really pay attention to what he was doing but I did notice that the grimalkyne has a different paddle boat on water than the felyne :3:

The only thing I didn't like about the demo was the color saturation - I hope there's an option to turn that up at launch.

Otherwise it was basically perfect.
