Lol it has a shit ton

This game is bigger than MH4U

wait what? I thought it only went to high rank and had a lot of 2edgy subspecies. I actually don't know much about the number of monsters present or content available

 

[DrROBschiz]

MHX

# Small Monsters: 34
# Large Monsters: 71
# Total Monsters: 105

MH4U

# Small Monsters: 23
# Large Monsters: 75
# Total Monsters: 98

Actually MHX doesn't suffer from subspecies copy/paste that plagued some MH titles in the past, most notably Ichinose's previous MH game Portable 3rd.

Some people think the lack of G Rank means less content. It doesn't.

Alright, I just was a bit confused about them specifically highlighting those 4.

To be fair the Subs in MH4U were pretty ridiculous and varied as far as subs go lol

But yes its a welcome change. Certainly will be the most VARIED MH game

 

[Samemind]

Alright, I just was a bit confused about them specifically highlighting those 4.

They're the four new Main Monsters (aka flagship monsters) This game actually assembles every Main Monster in the series for the first time.

I mean for me specifically G rank is a huge thing because of the amount of options in armor and weapon variety it opens up. Not that I didn't have tons of fun in Tri which was about as 'content light' as MH gets and had pretty slim options for top end weapons.

I was just expecting way less than 4U out of this game so it's a nice surprise.

Instead of G Rank MHX just has a steady curve with the quests

Its has Grank difficulty and an endgame it just doenst carry the moniker

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

The real amazing thing is that you can now change equipment from the multiplayer lobby without needing to head back to the home area. Since choosing equipment for the given monster is usually a good idea, this is a huge plus

Not quiteeeee true, you still need to move to a separate area to change equipment (it's pretty similar to MH3U in that respect).

There are like a million armor sets in MHX.

Also, Tri was barebones as fuck in terms of content. Like, really barebones. MHX is as big as any G version out there.

 

[Exile20]

I am there day 1.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

I love that we won't have to wait too long for Generations.

We could be playing it in four months.

Oh wow.

 

[Toxi]

The biggest flaw with Generations is that they took out Nerscylla.

Wait, there are more than just the 4 big monsters...right?

...It's Monster Hunter, of course there are more than just the 4 big monsters.

 

[Ryoukai]

So all weapons have the ability to jump now? Like the insect glaive in 4U?

 

[Man God]

So all weapons have the ability to jump now? Like the insect glaive in 4U?

If you use Aerial Style.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

A Monster Hunter game can never be too awesome.

MH3U = no Tigrex
MH4U = no Nargacuga
MHX = no Nerscylla

 

[Ryoukai]

If you use Aerial Style.

The style system sounds very interesting, guess there's no reason to use the insect glaive anymore.

 

[Kinsei]

A Monster Hunter game can never be too awesome.

MH3U = no Tigrex
MH4U = no Nargacuga
MHX = no Nerscylla

MH3U should be no Amatsu, not no Tigrex. Third gen Tigrex is a wimp so it's good they got a game off to train

 

[HawthorneKitty]

The style system sounds very interesting, guess there's no reason to use the insect glaive anymore.

Yeaaaaaah that's not true at all.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Beauty.

Maybe they will release it here in the west too.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

I need a tamamitsune dakimakura.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

No.

 

[Verelios]

Shaking my damn head. GS and IG are a hunter's way of life.

 

[LProtag]

Excited for this.

In 4U I played GS and S&S, but mostly focused on GS. Anyone know what would be the best between these two to main in this game, or what the pros/cons to each are with the whole style system?

 

[VandalD]

I have no idea. But I'm sure I'll try them all again, suck at most of them, and lean back on S&S, Charge Blade, or Lance. The style system looks influential enough on playstyles that you really need to try everything again for yourself. And they always seem to change enough with the S&S to get me to want to stick with it.

 

[robotzombie]

so which weapons are awesome in this one?

Some stuff I've been thinking of using since I used the Charge Blade in 4U

Slash Axe
Gunlance
Lance
Longsword

Also, are Bows good for solo play in this?

 

[Eolz]

Beauty.

Maybe they will release it here in the west too.

Wow.
Hasn't there been a special edition 3DS for each MonHun in the west too anyway? Seems to be part of their marketing deal.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

A lot of people tend to forget Tri introduced to many new elements, new monsters (better than their gen 1/2 counterparts), less same rath-like monsters, and renewed monsters like Rathalos/Rathian/Diablos.

Fight normal Monoblos and Diablos on MH4U. One has janky shit like the slow circular running (wtf) versus better hitboxes and faster battle (albeit nerfed).

You can buff yourself with a faster move speed is a start.

 

[LProtag]

I'm thinking maybe of picking a weapon type for each style to focus on, so I can try them all out a bit.

 

[Wanderer5]

Apparently this game almost had two new weapons. The Hunting Hound, and Wyvern Boomerang lol.

 

[DrROBschiz]

They should have done Boomerang years ago

But Im glad it has concept art for it now

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Probably hard to implement into the 3DS since this game upped the special effects of everything.

And yes, we need canine helpers Capcom, fuck cats.

Yeah they are already pushing hardware limits to the point where they needed to limit framerate, push the POV closer, and whatever other concessions people have dug up.

I really hope this is the last 3DS game they make for petes sake

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

I need tonfa in the mainline games.

 

[Vital Tundra]

Cats are mans greatest asset for cuddles and depression. How dare you!

Thats pretty mice, although I like my Monster Hunter 4U XL better.

 

[Syril]

They probably didn't want to bite off more than they could chew since they were already designing three alternate movesets for everything.

Beyond the possible localization of Monster Hunter Stories, this very well may be the last MH game on the 3DS. My only fear is that if Stories gets localized, it'll come to the west while the NX Platform is in full swing.

 

[TreIII]

That canine helper looks adorable. To think, I was this close to "Cassherning it up"!

Those two weapons better have made the short list for the 5th generation.

 

[also]

Palicos suck so I would welcome any other kind of helper, be it the Shakalaka kids or something new.

 

[DrROBschiz]

Well Capcom has been afraid to port games over so far with other franchises lol

How many Resident Evil ports do we have on various platforms now? Ive lost count

 

[Toxi]

I need tonfa in the mainline games.

Aren't they the ridiculous God-mode weapons of Frontier?

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Aren't they the ridiculous God-mode weapons of Frontier?

Yes.

 

[Haunted]

Screenshot in the OP made me think it would be a port for WiiU for a hot second.

 

[Thoraxes]

Beauty.

Maybe they will release it here in the west too.

I guess I need another MH n3DSXL after all...

 

[Peru]

Well we did get those Stories screenshots in HD, even with HD UI elements.

 

[The Stranger]

Apparently this game almost had The Hunting Hound, and Wyvern Boomerang lol.

Would have loved seeing how the hunting hound would have worked. Maybe they'll keep it in their thoughts while developing the next game.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Time to get stuck in a Monster Hunter game for a few months again!

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Time to get stuck in a Monster Hunter game for a few months again!

"few months" lol

*currently playing mh4u*

 

[jadjei]

Awwwww man I barely scratched the surface on 3U and then I got 4U and now generations is coming lol. I don't think I'll get to G rank on any of these titles .
