With Barioth in the game, I least I would know that there will be good looking armor with acceptable skill (unless they turned it to shit). But without them, I'll be walking on unknown land. I don't want play MH4U as female character only to found there isn't any armor to my liking. Worse when the functional one are limited to the stripperific one.
It doesn't seem like a big deal to me that some armors have part of an upper arm, side or thigh showing. Then again I'm not a fan of the bulky armors to begin with. They end up looking like a gundam or something. With the game's setting and gameplay concept how it is, I see hunters as sort of rangers who win against giant wyverns through knowledge and resourceful use of the things found in nature. I like armors that fit that vision. So it's okay to show a little skin or a face revealing there is a human in there who eats, tires, and hangs out at the tavern, rather than trying to pass off like an intimidating death machine.
Which is what I meant by sane. Not all, but I've seen much much worse.
Why shouldn't it?
I disagree. It's honestly really bad and certainly not exempt from this criticism.
"Less than 10", lol, what an accomplishment...!
If the image I saw is true, I just saw the G version of Kirin armor that really suit my taste. I'm definitely gonna ask and search for more about the armors when western release is near, which at that point images of armors should be plentiful.
None of the weapons are super complicated, so it mostly comes down to what sort of play style you enjoy. The long sword and dual blades have a lot of mobility, pretty simple combos and reward being very aggressive. The great sword, on the other hand, is all about bringing monsters down with a few powerful strikes. The lance lets you sit toe-to-toe with the monster and triple poke your way to victory while either evading or blocking incoming attacks. Light bowguns are all about rapid-firing a ton of shots, machine-gun style, whereas heavy bowguns deliver fewer, very powerful shots. And so on.
I was replying to Unicorn. S/he made a claim, and I found it wanting. I wasn't even gonna talk about it again until s/he insisted I check out that video, funnily enough.
Holy shit, lol. Wipe the foam from your sputtering mouth, will you? I am not offended. I am not trying to censor anything. I am not trying to destroy fantasy in gaming*. I am criticizing inequality in armour design, which is a common trend in fantasy art and MH is not immune. That's it. Chill the fuck out.
And therefore it is immune to all forms of criticisms. Right?
I didn't say anything about realism either. So that's more strawman for the pile I suppose. Nor am I "STOPPING THE FUCKING PRESS". The only one showing anger and outrage here is you, by the way.
Do tell how I am "fucking it up"? It's a discussion. You aren't obligated to participate. Note that I am not even the one who brought up the gender disparity (this time, at least xD).
.... Is this real? Hahahaha.
Why, I never! xD
"Decide" what? I haven't "decided" anything. But you are apparently trying to decide that I, or my ideas, don't belong. So let me throw this question right back at you: "who the fuck are you to decide (whether or not I can talk about sexism in armour design)?".
Unless a mod told me to, uh... Why would I do that?
I'd like to see a demo with the 1 star quests and then Great Jaggi from the 2 star ones with an option to migrate data to the full game. That'd be more representative, at least.
This game has a learning curve and you simply need to spend some time with it to understand how things work.
If anything they should have at least one 'tougher' monster (maybe some form of the signature monster?) in it. That would show the difference between a low rank and higher rank monster and make other demo's more interesting as well if they don't change the mechanics that much and you get to fight a new monster. Some people trying out the demo would be in for a lot of rage once they purchase the game and expect to fight Great Jaggi quality monsters all the time.
More experienced players who want to see the tougher monsters probably won't need a demo as much, though. Seems like the current demo is for Japanese players who already know what they're getting into and want to see the cool stuff right away. But for newbies, the full game does a pretty good job of easing people into things, so packaging those early quests into a demo might be more appropriate.
I admit I never did beat Great Jaggi in the original Tri the first time around. The fight seemed to go on for ages and I had no idea what I was doing.
Oh I find him pretty easy since I still think he's bugged or something or purposely misses when he does his jumpy moves in the water. On the land he can be a pain though if you're not careful and patient.
Is this solo or multiplayer? I've seen him standing there derping while fatigued for easy hits, but he still has his usual flipper and gill animations and doesn't stand completely still like a statue. I wouldn't be surprised if it's some sort of glitch.
Yeah I have, in both SP and MP. He just tanks it all like a boss.
Funny thing is that female design has grown on me, I find it elegant and classy and now I even prefer it to the bulky samurai look, except for that stupid crotch window (don't know what else to call it). Somehow it looks even more visible in-game, too. smh For example, again for Ceadeus, those helmets are very silly looking. But yeah, you'll note I didn't mention the Piscine sets, even though they're among the most revealing... because the male armour is equally revealing. Equality. Yay.
I started missing the underwater combat in 3U as soon as I encountered Plesioth in FU.
Part breaks show up in the rewards; shiny drops are a separate thing with their own percentages.
The post-Miralis stuff is basically its own tier. Lots of new monster variants for extra challenge and some great endgame gear awaits!
