Sly Reflex Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I've been thinking about this a hell of a lot over the last few days, specifically the journeys I and the people that hunted along with me. The times we got to grips with fighting the first real big monster and feeling like a champ when we struck it down. The times where we'd repeatedly fight Barroth to get his armour set so we could fight the harder monsters and the times where we'd all queue up to go against an urgent Lagiacrus. And when 4U came out and some of those monsters were lost we found new favourites. Kecha Wacha, Nercylla, Magala and Steve. Generations come around and some came and went. Familiar faces had some new tricks up their sleeve and some old guys came back to show what a true pain in the arse they could be. I'm sad that we're potentially leaving some monsters behind, maybe even for good. They're sort of going to be there in spirit in monsters that have been designed from the ground up to work in MHW, but actually having the living breathing models there is something I'm going to pine for. While great Jaggi and Quropeco might have been super hard to beat when you first venture into the world of Monster Hunter, eventually when you become a better hunter and get further into the game and they show up you basically drag them into a fight as an unwilling participant, it's like fighting in a car park and knowing that you're on easy mode so you start pulling extra bodies into the ruck just because you can. Chances are those are gone. that makes me sad because it sort of ages you to when you joined in the series. Great Jaggi won't be the whipping boy anymore. On the upside I look forwards to the people entering the series with fresh eyes. I think maybe they'll look fondly on their time with the whipping boi's of the lower rungs like great Jagras and Pukei Pukei. And while we're here I hope there's a lot of surprises along the way similar to Gypceros, Zinorgre, Zamtrios, Congalala, Deviljho, Quropeco, and the Seltas Queen. I want to hear the same WTF's and wow's I did when I saw that stuff the first time I saw those things happen. Not long now. Come join in the hunt!

Sambob Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I bet there will be some sort of DLC along at some point for new mons, or some expansion etc, worry not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, there's already one confirmed from previous entries. I won't spoil what it is though. Played some more beta last night and managed to take down the third monster (can't remember it's name - it was the t-rex with wings). Had an epic fight – other monsters got involved, I was poisoned and set on fire and my cat thing kept pinning it down with ropes. Seemed to get a very basic grasp of the greatsword as well, the combat clicked and I could string together a few combo's. I almost felt sorry when the beast started whimpering off, though not sorry enough to whack it in the face some more with my sword. Can't wait to play the full version! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambob Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I wont put my PS4 through the ten hours of updates it will need since I last turned it on then...poor machine. Actually i should probably start updating soon, Im sure @Sly Reflex wont let me forget to do that in preparation for the big day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 It's kind of hilarious that we consider nearly a GB of data a small patch now. Back in my day XBLA games could only be 50mb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 It's noob friendly. You can defend yourself somewhat with the shield, although it's not going to absorb huge hits. Hold the shield up to stop yourself being flashed. You can use items while the weapon is drawn too which is quite nice. Use the shield to hit the head of the monster and the sword everywhere else. Shield hits cause KO damage when they connect with the head. Or you could be a big boy and use the Great Sword. That can still block (albeit at the cost of sharpness) and you will be able to use the reach to cut off tails and reach heads when they are higher up than what the Sword and Shield can.

Sly Reflex Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Longsword is an other option, although I don't really know how to use it. @DifferentClass and @Sambob are your best bets for asking for advice on that particular weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Long sword is about transition the right moves into one another and then understanding the charge ability. You need to be getting consistent hits basically, it's a good weapon and doesn't take all that much to get used to I'd say, although its not necessarily in the beginner friendly bracket.

Sly Reflex Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Nah. It used to be you were stuck with whatever you took with you on a hunt, but they changed it so that you can changed to whatever you have in your inventory back at a camp. It is worth having a plan b weapon, but that's quite far down the road for someone who's new to the game. At some point you're going to need parts of the monster that you can't get easily with the Sword and Shield. Usually it wouldn't be a problem since you'd be hunting with friends, but seeing as you're flying Billy no mates on Xbox there's a chance you're going to run into a dead end where you're going to need carves that really require blunt to break off the monster. Monsters like Uragaan and Gravios are a right old pain in the cock to smash apart with blades too. I have no idea if those monsters are making a return, but you can bet your bottom dollar that there's going to be one inclusion that bounces like a motherfucker apart from a few hard to reach spots. Might be worth investing a bit of time on the hammer so when those opportunities arise you can deal with it. Or you know, do the sensible thing and come hunt with us. I've been on at the same time as you've been playing Final Fantasy. We can squad up and go on a rampage. I think with this game we've got all bases covered there's that many people getting it.

Sambob Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I'm not going to be able to have a proper go on this until the Sunday I reckon as I've got youngun until she goes home. @Sly Reflex will probably have some kind of Kevlar and lightsaber drop by then.
