I might make a conscious decision to use all the weapon types in Worlds, everything is awesome- its most likely time.
I'm really hoping there's something new we have not seen yet with the Lance..
maybe a less ridiculous DMC style stinger or million stabs? Hammer got a repeating combo so a guy can dream :<

Aren't you guys used to that? Sammy Weeaboosu is the #1 lance and gunlance fan, he'd know.
granted the very few times i used lance i only used the infinite stamina running stab back in psp, but i thought the new jumping stab into mount is pretty cool
Yep, I know I'll use ranged weapons now that the controls have entered the 20th century.
I'm prob going to seriously try Bow.

Fuck yeah this is the real Monster Hunter experience, a step forward for the franchise.
Also, I have NO IDEA 太刀(Tachi) in Monster Hunter is called ''Long sword'' in the west. That's so strange!
Looks so much better than the old 2D blood effect.

Yay, blood splatter confirmed, then? Seems like they forgot to turn it off in the video for the bow.

Yeah, it looks fantastic.

Amazing. Is he igniting the tip of the arrow like a match when he drags it across the ground? I'm sort of expecting a little explosions. Perhaps some kind of arrow coating?
Can someone translate the captions?
That spin is from the Aerial Style in Monster Hunter Generations. Has anyone noticed any other MHGen moves that they're keeping?
I hope the sound effects are still a work in progress because the hits in these videos don't really have the impact I'm used to from previous titles.
Yeah, various Style moves from MHXX are being baked into the weapons, including Brave Style attacks.
They're basically taking the best parts of MHX/MHXX and molding them into MHW.

These animations are godlike. It seems the katana is the most popular?

It was great to see MH armour which didn't look like shit graphically.

That particular caption just says you can load different coatings to aim for different statuses/effects.
But yeah, that groundscrape shot is so damn cool.

Jumping stab into a mount has been in since mounting was a thing I think. I definitely remember lances in MH4 being a weapon that could mount without ledges.
I'm a little disappointed they didn't show any major changes with gun lance though. Was hoping for a mobility update, something like the lance charge or a rocket jump or something. At least it seems they have new shelling options, with the sticky bomb they planted on the Jagras face. Hoping that making it more like bowgun ammo in that we can switch between multiple shell types, even if they limit each lance to a few different shells.

Definitely using the bow. I love archery.
That insect glaive looks pretty good with the air maneuverability tho. And the long sword looks awesome.
Not a fan of the twin blades tho. They need some impact when landing a blow.

Well let me ground you a biT.
If you look for solo speedy hunts you will see that Lance is often the weapon of choice. The two stabs followed by a side step makes for a great DPS strategy.

That looks very "un-meaty" and all kinds of wrong for a hammer. It's probably a very weak attack, too.
That looks fantastic.

Finally watched all the videos. I guess they just couldn't figure out how to make the 2 Lance weapons more interesting comparative to every other weapon. Those videos would immediately turn off newcomers to those 2 weapons. Probably just a balancing issue and what roles each weapon plays so the flashiness isn't there like the rest.
They did confirm no Hunter Arts correct? If that was the case, I feel like it was the right one for the sake of balance. Plus just adding new things for all the weapons in general is good.
