Happy Noodle Boy posted:Are you playing modded? and what Proton are you using? I had to switch to GE-Proton for sunbreak because the default compatibility layer would not player nice with reframework and cause all sorts of hitching issues in the framerate. I'm not using any mods and haven't even set up GE, but that's a good idea, so I'll try that next. Thanks.

As a hammer player I love Bagel if only for the times where you’re locked into a trajectory that you realize too late lands you right on a bomb. Hurts like hell but it’s funny every time.

PoptartsNinja posted:I agree with you but I can understand why they didn't. Rise doesn't have a zone that matches her, visually, except for Narwa's coral castle arena and limiting Namielle to one arena wouldn't be very fun. I think its sort of notable that even though you could get away with putting several of them somewhere else, none of the coral highlands/rotten vale monsters made it into rise I wonder (hope) if they're keeping that for another new world setting game

If there's one thing Monster Hunter is good at it's recycling content (this is good) so I expect all if not most of the World maps to return if the new games still take place in the New World.

Your Computer posted:Cool MHDos post As someone who only played MH1 for a very small time as a kid but was always curious about revisiting, and as someone who is recently appreciating a lot of old-school games that ask for greater commitment and don't give instant gratification and being so much better for doing so, your post got me hype into checking out MHDos! Been playing it so far and quite enjoying both the nostalgia and the breath of fresh air. At the end of the day, though, I imagine this is something I'm only going to appreciate from a distance, haha! There is certainly something to be said about the satisfying power of a slow burn, but I'm just not that young anymore to have the time to fully commit to the experience. It also can just be very frustrating no matter how you slice it, and here's an example scenario I personally went through: Ok, gotta gather some unique mushrooms! I remember they were over here...oh there's a bunch of velociprey around: I don't wanna get attacked while gathering since the animation takes so long so let's find another spot. This spot has a bullfango, let's try another. This one has velociprey too, this is getting hopeless...oh, maybe I can sneak it! Nope, they see me instantly...maybe if I zone out and sneak while zoning back in? Nope, they still see me. Ok fine, fair is fair, let's kill all of them and then we can gather in peace! drat this is taking a long time to cut this group down, and I hate how the corpses disappear so fast so I'm not going to be able to carve any velociprey for all this hard work except the last one. Wait a minute, there were 3 velociprey, I just killed 2, and now there are still 3: are they just gonna keep respawning!? Ok screw this, I'll just force gather and eat some hits, let's just get this done for fucks sake! Argh, I keep getting blue mushrooms and I'm getting clobbered! Great, this mushroom patch ran out but it still made me do that last gather just to confirm it instead of having the patch disappear like a corpse would, and I got hit again...you get the picture. It felt like a bummer because even though I was willing to meet it half-way and play by its hardcore rules by using stealth or killing the monsters to gather in peace, it didn't even accept that! Also there are just tons of other inconveniences, like how you can't sleep to pass time without paying money so you can be stuck in bad conditions unless you eat a penalty (though I imagine later on it's a non issue, and it's only giving you a fee to make you unable to skip experiencing night and seasons), and it's lacking modern conveniences like 'oh I forgot to eat before embarking, lemme go to the house-oh i'm locked out, gonna cancel the quest first' stuff. And the claw grip, the claw grip for camera control! My poor hands hurt just from using a controller normally, for goodness sake! Having said all that, I will stick with it for a bit longer! Again, I don't think it's objectively bad, rather it's providing a unique perspective that I can appreciate...for a bit more. At the very least, I'd like to get to a big starter fight like Yian Kut-ku which is where I believe kid me left off in MH1 (where I remember me using a light bowgun with only weak lv1 bullets because I didn't want to waste money on expensive bullets and it taking forever).

trevorreznik posted:Just fought risen Kush for the first time, well before I unlocked his quest. Doing him in anomalies first! I'm now tempted to refuse to raise my MR with the level 100 cap and just do all equipment farming in anomalies , if that's at all possible. So personally, I kinda actually really like the Risen Kush fight (albeit I'm still around 160ish AR, I'm definitely slacking there). With Lance, it almost feels like Kushala takes its turn, does it's 3-4 or so moves I guard through (because I'm a dweeb with Guard 5/Embolden 3/Guard Up 1 and want to tank my way through everything), then roars to give me a chance to get a Leaping Thrust combo or two in before repeating. Like, it's almost like a turn-based RPG in how methodical it is, and so far it hasn't taken more than 20 minutes at the most, usually around 15 min. or so per solo quest. As for Flaming Espenis, it's just one in the latest line of "you want to use the big-rear end shield to actually block? lol gently caress you" moves. Obviously, I'm not a fan, especially when I can just laugh off a Teostra supernova without a problem, but for whatever reason this explosion is different enough to bypass my shield.  Though, since it's a multi-hit that normally eats through a full bar of stamina and then your health, if you happen to have Heaven-Sent and infinite stamina, can you block through it?  Outside of that, though, he's just extra spicy Rath.

Started playing 3 Ultimate a few weeks ago. I've been wanting to talk about what I think about it, but kept punting because I feel like I hadn't put enough time into it yet. I'm still in Village high rank, but after 35 hours I'm getting pretty confident my opinion isn't going to change too drastically, so let's dive in (get it? because it's underwa— wait where's everyone going) Monster Hunter Thrultimate: A Game So Good It Made Me Like Plesioth - a SomethingAwful post, Kaubocks age 30-something gently caress man I can't remember right now My general history with Monster Hunter: I'm a fifth fleeter. Proudly. I started in World/Iceborne and it's probably still my favorite game. In general I feel like Monster Hunter is just that kind of series, where everyone's first one is going to be their favorite one. I've played Rise/Sunbreak, have since gone back to play Generations Ultimate, and even a little bit of Freedom Unite and 4 Ultimate (not enough in those two to really feel like I can say "I've played them", but I've touched them enough to have a general opinion on them.) In playing others I understand simultaneously why World popped into the western market so hard, and also why old time fans can have problems with it... but even with its flaws I cannot deny that it just clicks with me on a deeper level that the other games haven't really matched. I booted up 3U on a whim. Can't really point to why. Wasn't really feeling FU or 4U at the time, wanted to try third gen for the time but couldn't be hosed to emulate Portable 3rd, I guess. From what I had heard about the game, I wasn't really expecting to like it, so I figured I could sate my curiosity for an hour and then move onto other games. It basically immediately sunk its hooks into me and hasn't let go. I've written so many "I love [thing]" lines about 3U in this post for the past half hour and just deleting it because the words don't feel right. I'm finding it really hard to write anything about the game because it's so hard for me to quantify what I like about it... like I'm trying to dissect the game into what's "good" and "bad" about it when there's so many things that are often just both at the same time. I am learning about myself that the most important thing about Monster Hunter to me is just "vibes". It's the first Monster Hunter since World to just fill me with a sense of wonder again, a sense of awe at the scope of it. The best I can do right now is just, say what happened on my last hunt. I was fighting a Jade Barroth for the first time in the Tundra, nodding sagely at the discovery that this sure is just an ice version of Barroth. That's fine by me— I have a soft spot for my muddy buddy and I'm interested in this new-to-me subspecies. As the fight is winding to a close and he's limping away, he busts through one of the area walls and exposes a completely new area. I had to go back in on a harvest tour to make sure this wasn't just an area I hadn't noticed before. I just can't believe they would hide something like that. Having played FU, the jump from 2nd gen to 3rd is honestly insane. I'm kind of floored this game doesn't seem to be talked about as much as 4U, but in my (relatively) brief time it's already shot up to being a favorite-game-in-series contender. We'll see how I feel about it compared to World as I play more. Unrelated note: I'm playing on a 3DS. The stereoscopic 3D actually makes Monster Hunter amazing. The Volcano is so loving pretty, I can't stand it. They should make more Monster Hunter games for the Nintendo 3DS.

Maybe I should start wirebugging away but I usually don't save up a safety one. I also.spemt like 1.5 hours trying to clear and raise investigations for stuff like thickhide, til I finally was able to get in a random one. What a pain in the rear end system

What weapon you using? As a charge blade main I had to try out a couple things and haven't really settled on a choice. I really like old lance though, poke poke sidehop repeat is a great rhythm once you get used to it

Guarding is a great option instead of underwater dodge. And the charge is great for underwater mobility. DBs are also a good choice and what I used to solo 3U. They haven't changed much since the newer games and their mobility is also nice to have underwater

I used switch axe through low rank and I’m using hammer in high. They’re my usual mains so I haven’t been struggling in the weapon woes of going backwards. They also seem to work fine underwater, thankfully. I hear lance is really good underwater and I do intend to check it out someday— I’m just spoiled by gen 5 lance and going back to old gen (particularly GU) lance felt kind of bad. I do hear the Wii U version can have some framerate issues, but I will be real, 3DS does too and it hasn’t ruined my experience. But also I’m the kind of person that can tolerate infrequent performance dips if it means what’s happening on screen is too awesome to render. Bonus upside to Wii U: the font doesn’t look miserable lol. Bonus downside to Wii U: no stereoscopic 3D makes depth perception underwater harder. I actually just got a new battery for my Wii U gamepad in the mail today and plan on hooking it up this week. Looking to give it a shot myself.

Dear lord, a level 138 investigation (im mr 104) vs risen shagaru magala took me like 35 minutes solo with npc helpers. I just could not ever find windows to get off a SAED. good example was when he was powered up, he'd do a 1 2 3 punch combo, then rear back , come in with double slam, THEN two more delayed explosions would trigger. I tried to axe hopper after coming out of blocking animation and got hit with his pin attack before i could even lift off He just has so many moves where he attacks while jumping backwards, good grief. I think I ended up riding monsters 5 times, that was the only reason I was able to even do damage trevorreznik fucked around with this message at 16:26 on May 19, 2023 |

I'm gonna be done farming up my final build with MR 30 gear pretty soon I hope. It's real funny you can fight these guys barely over MR 100 in anomalies but have to wait forever to do it normally

Double posting, but gently caress it. I just had a moment that made me feel incredibly old, as I explained the charm tables from tri to a friend who didn't play that entry and had no idea how a bug like that aggro one could happen. For folks who didn't play mhtri: The 'quest rewards' stuff that wasn't based on the monster or fixed by your quest were calculated based on a few loot tables. The game was supposed to figure out what table to look at based on system time and your character's name, then would roll the dice for your reward. Except there was a bug in the code and instead of using current time, it used chargen time, so effectively you were locked into a given table when you made your character. For most things it didn't matter much, it just meant maybe you'd never get bitter bugs, or would always get a pickaxe in your rewards. However, that table was used to determine a few very big deal things like what kind of charms you could get. In tri the only source of charms were some special mining nodes, and the game rolled the charm's stats at mission completion. So if say you wanted handicraft+3 you had to be on the right tables. People made tools just to look up based on your name and rewards from running a 1 star fishing mission which tables you could have been on. Most were fine, but there were 1 or 2 utterly cursed tables.

I'm pretty sure that bug was in 3U as well, though by that point there were tools to help figure out the charm table you were on. Specifically, I remember one that involved sending the fishermen out, then plugging in what they brought back into the tool in order to find the table.

I don't plan on playing any crazy post game but I'd like to know just because. Speaking of, I'm close to the end of LR village and this game owns bones. I'll chip away for a while and hope to eventually finish G hub. I've never solo'd G hub in any of the games with unscaled multi, I've always gone through with a group of 2 - 4. Cha-cha and Yamaka are kind of ugly and annoying and I miss my palicoes. But otherwise...no complaints. Moga is awesome, I like the village resource collection side hustle as a way to break up some straight hunting goals but it does take a bit too much to keep up with requests and still keep your farm & fishery rolling, since I don't wanna cash in most of my gathering materials. I have armor and weapons to craft for gods sake. Underwater combat is...weird. I really like seeing monster patterns more than I like actually fighting them down there. Flooded Forest, Moga Woods and Volcano are top tier. Desert is kind of eh but I never like MH deserts, and Tundra is straight up bad. Very confusing zone connections and every room kind of looks identical. Good roster so far especially just for LR. Except duramburos. Stupid swirling loser. Too much health for such a simple fight, and I don't remember the HR/G versions getting any more interesting in his GU iteration. Looking forward to whatever the final boss is.

I made sure I was in a usable table before putting any real effort into 3u. Still never ended up beating G rank because I only played solo and it got to be too much by the end game.
