Monster Hunter is one of those things that is just consistently impenetrable yet addictive. I spend most of my time playing MH cursing at the game, yet here I am anxiously waiting for my copy of Monster Hunter Generations to arrive in the mail.

Also, I'll second the love for the Hunting Horn. It was my go-to weapon for grinding [monster]s in 4U.

Counterpoint: Yian Kut Ku is the absolute worst, and I hate it. Anything with a hitbox three times larger than itself should not exist.

If you're playing Monster Hunter, looking stuff up on Kiranico is almost mandatory. Once you're well into the game and you have to grind/scavenge for specific things it helps a ton.

I would just like to add that I came across this Twitter account yesterday.

It's pretty bad. The controls are unintuitive and the mechanics of underwater fighting are clunky. Capcom rightfully abolished it for 4U and replaced it with mounting, which is much better.

Story time: The first time I hunted Wroggi, Cha-Cha would wait to smack me until AFTER I had already recovered from the sleep gunk, keeping me in place just long enough to get hit by another hit of sleep gunk.

THE DREAD QUEEN IS HERE :black101:

Lagiacrus is cool and all, but the removal of underwater combat after 3U makes fighting him in Generations kind of anticlimactic. Rathian rules very much.

Hey, guess loving what?! Capcom has a new game for us to play with! Featuring the return of Barroth! And also some other monsters from Monster Hunter 3U that, uh, we haven't seen yet, so don't click that link if you don't want to be spoiled on them.

Evasion +3 (at+20 evade) gives you .6
The probably much more attainable +2 gives you .4 at +15.


Thats a shitload of i frames.

Evasion +3 plus Mega Dash Juice is how you do Evade Lancer properly.

There are lots of things that make Generations look like the unfinished, extra-long demo of XX. The monster intros for one, but also the completely non-existant story: your character just walks into the village and starts taking quests. If anything, Generations pushed me back to MH4U.

(Generations is still good, though, don't get me wrong)

This is why Mind's Eye is great and I love it. Being able to wail on Agnaktor with sword mode is the best.

E: Flame Aura is one of those skills I just don't get

Ex2: DoubleNegative get MH3U, what is wrong with you

Or, perhaps, does Jay Leno look like Uragaan? Think about it.

As someone who finally, FINALLY reached G Rank in MH4U after 200 hours, here's to moving on to High Rank! Time to get some pickles!

I have a tradition when I introduce new people to Monster Hunter and that is to do my absolute best to hide the existence of Deviljho from them until they get properly introduced.

No one ever told me about The Pickle. I found out when doing an HR hunt with a friend. The worst part was that it spawned in the same area I was currently in.

Savage Deviljho is a right rear end in a top hat. Its default state is classic Pickle's angry state, and it can get angrier after that.
