Spoilers (Endgame Stuff): Fifth area is confirmed, it's called the Everstream and seems to have a lava portion and some kind of ice or crystal portion. No more info than simply the map picture so far, but it's the zone we've been seeing in the last two trailers.

Awesome

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
You know what, Brachy might just be my favorite monster. Sure had to learn that fight well when making the highest grade Blast element Switch Axe in 3u... he's just a big stompy goopy splodey puppy :kimchi:

It was more of a technical limitation than anything, but the handheld and very early games completely removed small monsters from any Elder Dragon missions. It was such an eerie thing, running through these areas that used to be full of herds of herbivores or annoying bugs and just seeing...nothing. Then you find the Elder Dragon and it roars at you, and it all underscores that you're fighting something more like a force of nature than a creature.

Phone typing sucks, will bring up more stuff later if you're interested.

I loved this about elder dragons, along with the fact that you repelled them instead of killing them. It gave such a sense of a huge, epic battle. You can to fight each one like 3-5 times before they went down, and it felt like such a huge accomplishment. I feel like there hasn't been any repel quests in a long time?

gently caress carrying quests, though.

once upon a time there was a monster called tigrex that charged at you constantly and did massive damage and most people died many many times trying to beat it

some people got so good at timings that they knew where to charge a greatsword to smack tigrex out of their charge in the ultimate game of chicken

Tigrex was my first wall in MH. I got really pissed and thought the game was bullshit, but my friend told me to stay patient, and killing him was incredibly satisfying. MH is so good at giving you a fight you think is impossible, letting you learn and master it, then saying “ok now fight the harder version. Ok, good. Now fight the harder version at the same time as this other mon.”

Portable 3rd was the first game I really went the distance in and Nargacuga was a huge wall to me for hours and hours, drove me absolutely crazy. Kept at it and learned so much fighting him, and now I love that big kitty cat.

My first brick wall was Barroth in Tri, I just could not beat that muddy fucker. I think it was one of SocialDissonance's old videos that suggested making the Royal Ludroth lance for him, and after I did that he was still hard, but actually doable. And it started a love affair with lance that continued for a few games. :v:

Tri was my first game, and one of my fondest memories of it is fighting the Gobul and then having the Plesioth come in (we did not, up until that point, know that that could happen) and wreck everyone's poo poo. Even the Gobul kind of stopped as it left, as if to say "y'all seeing this poo poo?!"

They're very similar, but there is definite variation. For the one set that was leaked before they were mostly the same but the helmet and shoulder pads were a different style.

sexpig by night posted:

They're really focusing on the open-world angle for this one. That's why you can change your equipment and eat food out in the field instead of doing it before the hunt; because now you don't even necessarily have to be on a hunt. Supposedly you can choose to hang around after a hunt too, you're not instantly booted back to the town.

That's true, in Tri you could just walk out the gates if you wanted. But if you wanted to go to any other zones, you had to do a gather quest.

Yeah with any luck we'll be able to warp to any zone freely.

Also some quests will dump you at a random camp, the way high-rank in past MH games would dump you in a random zone with no map.

In the Forrest zone if you keep to the right from the starting camp, past the beach it would keep going to what looks like the gate to the town. Monsters never went there so unless you explore you didn't see it.

I think the demo started us on the other side of the map that the full game will.

It's fine, I was that guy at the beginning of the demo snd it clicked on me with my second hunt. This game knows what it's doing and will give every opprtunity it can for a new player to get their footing in if given persistance.

There's no real wrong time to break a part if that makes you feel better. The worst that can happen is like... the monster gets flinched out of their paralyze/trap/KO a little early.

Grab your weapon of choice and remember: the bigger the monster, the bigger the hat it will make.

I gotta say I love just about everything about how the insect glaive plays except for needing to manage the kinsect and buffs so I hope some future Monster Hunter game gives me another swingy, slashy polearm option.
