I dunno, Arekks has a damn good video on Charge Blade that covers it extensively.

It's good (updated my initial comment to reflect that since I was being unfair), but in Canta's discord we had some more specific questions mostly about the new sword charge move. Also Arekkz confirmed on twitter that GP > Super is back but I want to see video of it in action.

Side note, did you guys notice that ultra burst no longer removes your red shield buff? Sick!

can't watch until I get home in a couple hours, but has there been any good HBG footage uploaded by someone who knows what they are doing?

If anyone follows MH_Canta on twitter/twitch he's going to be there tomorrow. Based on discord conversations he's going to be checking out CB for sure because people who covered it already didn't really cover it that well and veterans are intensely curious about it since the weapon gets nearly completely reworked every game it's in. I'd bet he's going to look at hammer and IG as well but that's just a guess. Anyway, look towards his channel tomorrow or the next day for some high skill gameplay impressions.

I really want to hear/see his impressions with not just CB, but the game in general. I'd be kind of surprised if he didn't try Hammer lol.

Seems like the game had quite a turnaround in fan opinions in just 2 months. Lots of negativity when it was first announced.

That said I never have played MH so I wouldn't know what the heck is even going on.

Looking at the IGN developer interview I have to ask, why does Barroth get stunned when it charges an anthill? It's meant to use it's head is used to destroy them so that it can get at it's food. Having it get stunned makes no sense.

The first trailer is so baffling now. You have a goddamned parasail to show off new combat possibilities and you go with a super basic stealth shroud that looked completely ridiculous as one of the first things.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.

People who are excited for it are watching the previews and posting their impressions/excitement here.

People who were negative have probably moved on and are ignoring this thread.

I just popped in to see what people were saying. I have no history with the series.

Media Create threads have been a containment of sorts for the shitposting (thankfully). But overall, most of the negatively has been eroded by great trailers/demonstrations.

First trailer was worrying for a few reasons and honestly it's very confusing as to why they showed THAT at E3. But with all the info and footage we have now? It's hype day all day

Here's a Great Jagras getting destroyed by a HBG player: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHULsMO0bFU

Goddamn, destroyed is right.

The big takeaways for me from this are that you don't have to reload individual bullet types the first time you use them now. At least, that's what it looked like. He was switching to different bullets and using them immediately. That's so damn great! The HBG getting the LBG's Full House arte built in.

Cluster bombs home in automatically now? I love the arc they do so there's less chance for your teammates to eat the bombs (still gonna have to be careful when they land, lol).

Pellet bullets replaced by Spread bullets now, maybe? Or spread is a new type without the ricocheting.

I wonder if the armor has evade extend or if that's just the new distance for Gunners. Looks more mobile.

God, I love the sound effects for the HBG in this.

Edit: I'm not seeing the magazine size to know when to reload. I wonder if they got rid of the looking-at-your-gun-because-no-bullets animation for the "reload" prompt.

I also see another new ammo type: sticky bullets!

I feel like there's going to be so many new Gunners now.

I was skeptical and negative at first but their community managers and gameplay demos turned me around some time ago. That reveal trailer was bad in so many ways.

People were down on the first trailer because of preconceived notions of westernization and casualizing the series from that fake 4chan rumor. Most people who got hyped saw the trailer as featuring additions to the established franchise rather than as an omission of staple features. People were even blaming MH World for the lack of localized MHXX and saying it would ruin the series.

The reveal trailer actually had decent to good reception from folks watching E3 going by their reactions posted on YouTube.

But yeah, I would have shown something entirely different.

HBG's damage output has been pretty consistently ridiculous across many MH games, despite the archaic aim controls. With the control changes and all these additions I'm actually worried what they will do to keep it from being insanely overpowered.

And they're doubling down on this by claiming that if MHXX bombs or underperforms in Japan, MHWorld is to blame. Petty is the word that comes to mind.

That feel when MHW PS4 outsells XX Switch in Japan is gonna be 2sweet

This is the game the series has needed since after MHFU.

It would be really sad if World didn't, since XX is an HD port of a handheld game that's been out for about four months already (and is also a spin-off), and World is a brand-spanking-new mainline game.

And it's looking amazing to boot.

But anyway, World vs XX is boring shit, so, zzz.

Still waiting for the usual faces to show up and tell us what's going to be wrong with the game. Other than it not being on their console of choice, of course.

Every time this game is shown it looks better. I wonder what other features they're keeping under wraps. They could really do something unique with the mega monster brawl (I really liked Jhen, sue me). Maybe they also have more mantles in their pocket.

Yeah I'm loving everything about the Glider Mantle.

Actually, I'm loving everything I see about this game period. 2018 cant come soon enough.

I don't really care about World vs XX, as long as World's improvements to the formula become the new standard from now on.

If the reaction to World in Japan is "Fucking Americans got rid of our gathering animations! Bring it all back, Capcom!" then I'll be pissed.

You can see this nonsense weekly in the media create threads since the game was announced. It doesn't make any sense either because according to the same crowd who keep saying that World's reach in Japan will be limited due to the lack of portability, the game will also cause MHXX on the new portable system that is taking the country by storm to underperform.

It just doesn't make sense. But I digress, let's get back to these gameplay impressions. I need to see some in-depth IG gameplay.

Using its head to destroy anthills does not implicitly means he charges at anthills normally

This looks amazing! I have Monster Hunter 4U on my 3DS but I could never really get into it because of the tiny screen and the feel of the game (low FPS and tiny buttons).

Definitely something that I think will improve by returning to the big screen. Also happy it'll be on PC - it's visually more impressive than I thought at first!

Do we have any number or hint at the number of monsters, armors etc we can expect ?

The game seems so fucking awesome, it'd be a bit of a bummer to be light on content especially for a MH.

They'll probably reveal that at TGS or PSX.

Nope. I wouldn't expect more than 25-30 monsters though.
