its cool that there are fine points to the game that you learn about by talking to other people and looking up community made resources online. its cool to coach a novice friend through the game and dispense bits of info until their progression clicks and they see the entire game open up before them. its cool to grab an unfamiliar weapon and go on easier hunts and figure out how to use it well.

dual blades aerial style is the way theyre meant to be played

i thought it would be tough picking between aerial and adept for db but there's no comparison

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
Sorry for being a bitch and not monster hunting online today but I'm wretchedly hung over and haven't felt up to the pressure of multiplayer . Been knocking out some village quests tho and putting some Jaggi armor together (Prowler mode+gathering quests ftw) so I should be ready soon

No worries, i am currently sucking poo poo with the Hammer so you're not missing out on not playing (with me), i'll give it some more time but now that i'm running into enemies whose heads are actually higher than my character model some of the skull-bashing charm is wearing off :( might goof around with LS since that was really fun in the demo

I played literally nothing but hammer in 4U and I loved it. Really shines in co-op too, people will love you if you focus on getting stuns and it's probably even more sick this time around now that aerial style is a thing. The only reason I'm not using it in Gen is because I'm forcing myself to branch out (currently liking Aerial Greatsword a lot even though I never remember I have the ability to block and therefore never do it) ...... But unless hammer got a serious nerf between games it is a fine and noble weapon choice

yeah part of me wanting to play Hammer this time was that I was always happy to see a Hammer bro in 4U MP. Also the Narga in the demo was super-chumpable with Adept Hammer so I just stuck with that. But people seem to be really high on Aerial Ham? i'll have to give it a shot

I mean who cares if their heads are higher than your character model if you're vaulting 30 feet into the air

HH is totally my jam and I'm gonna keep rocking that. But obviously I need like two or three other weapons to bounce between for variety and so I can cut tails.

I like gunlance a lot but I'm not good enough at timing my thrusts and evades to hang once monsters start getting fast and mean like Zinogre, I end up getting like two hits every ten seconds in between shielding and getting knocked around. I am hopeful that either aerial or adept style in MHGen can help me compensate.

Charge Blade is also so much fun I can't see myself breaking away from it in Generations

they added blade oils to sword and shield to make it more interesting, im gonna try that out soon. has a zelda style greatspin as one of the ultimates

also the ultimate moves are the best addition

It definitely feels great finishing off a monster with a greatsword Brimstone Slash counter.

extremebuff
Jun 20, 2010

i hope they expand on the idea in the next MH. just go full-on street fighter super bar and have some new armor skills and stuff that revolve around it

also, i like how theyve streamlined the damage numbers on weapons and stuff to make it less confusing. like, hammer, sns, lance etc. that are all at the same tier will have "100" atk power, no more having to look at a damage formula guide to figure out which numbers are actually better

extremebuff
Jun 20, 2010

even before they did this there were hidden weapon class multipliers for damage so the ATK ratings were just there to loving confuse you lol

forget that, the shield-shoryuken is where the money's at.

but yeah i've been using striker sns along with adept hh and it's really good.

i should go striker sns drat. do you unlock more weapon arts by doing specific quests, or just advancing in ranks? i get the feeling its the former

sns is incredible, the weapon of angels, I'm very impressed with the changes as someone who has endured through the more 'beige' era as a loyalist to the class

extremebuff
Jun 20, 2010

its pretty obvious the devs intended the sns to use striker cause you lose almost nothing for that style.

meanwhile the hammer loses the golfswings :whitewater:
