This little kid watched me play Monster Hunter on my flight and kept asking questions. Then he told his dad he wanted the game. I kept trying to emphasize how much poo poo there is to keep track of and how the controls are tricky to get used to and that he shouldn't get it unless he felt like dealing with that, because I don't think a kid could really get a handle on this game. But he still told his dad "I found a new game I want. It's called Monster Hunter 4 and you hunt dragons and giant spiders and it takes fifteen to twenty minutes to fight them."

I hope he has a good time and doesn't get too frustrated.

also play monster hunter x with me if you have it, and i still play mh4u but no one is ever on at the same time

I want to play 4U but I've been really busy the past week or two :( will probably have time Saturday afternoon/evening EST, I'll even have a new couch to sit on while hunting if everything goes according to plan. Right now my problem is that as I'm hitting the end of the G-Rank MP progression I just need lots of random poo poo, and having to bounce from room to room makes it take forever especially if you get stuck with lovely hunters. Last night I saw someone run up next to a Furious Rajang and just hold the block button. With a Great Sword. Also she was wearing Kushala armor which has hella bad thunder resistance :negative:

no because they are in seemingly no danger of ever going extinct, in fact I think the monsters outnumber humanity in this world. there are at least like overgrown ruins of lost civilizations and poo poo, and every vehicle and city needs a giant spear cannon to fight off the largest monsters.

thats me, i have another friend code also that is in the tag thread, but its old and this is the one you should use.

also yes i feel a little bad about killing the mons. i don't really see most of them as a threat to people and many times you see them with their young or eggs/nests. They have intricate animations to portray a wide range of suffering, and most have multiple parts of their bodies that can be wounded, ripped off or shattered. the poor things, i mean when you think about it theres no way we, as the players/hunters are not the villains of this universe. i think theres a new game coming out in the series thats like an action rpg set in a village where the people just became friends with the monsters instead of hunting them, and they encounter hunters and think they are barbaric. with that additional backstory, its hard to deny how immoral we are

Thank you for not trying to drive home drunk to kill anime monsters with me. I probably have some time this afternoon tbh

E: also i got that Dalamadur gem and thanks to a timely Contrary Scale drop I finally made the max level Ceadeus CB :toot: then i realized there are fewer monsters that are weak to water than I remembered. oh well, it's still beastly

I've been ignoring the calls for hunters because 1) I rarely have time to sink into MH when I'm also near a good wifi signal and 2) I'm still in HR I don't even know what a dalmadur is. I got all my key quests done for 4 star but had to go before my group could do the pink rath urgent so that was a bummer.

You don't need the nubbin and the new 3ds won't run it at a higher fps or anything.

tl;dw - Slightly better framerate and textures, but it's perfectly playable on a reg 3DS. the n3DS nub is handy for camera work but you can emulate that in-game with a control pad on the touch screen.

do it, this game is rad and there probably won't be another MH game outside of Japan until the end of 2016 at the absolute earliest. i bought this day 1 in the US and 240 hours later I'm just reaching the endgame content, there's a lot you can do here.

i got the huge rear end extra stick extension for my 3DS XL only for this game (and a bit for resident evil) and it owns. i definitely recommend that if you're fine with making your handheld huge for gaming
