Probably a part of what makes this game feel so much better to me.
I feel you. Rathalos may be one of the easier to learn monsters but his attacks are still deadly.
Yeah I just that starter pack, gonna definitely come in useful!
Btw did Gypceros play dead for you guys? Thought I won but I didnt hear the victory theme so was a little weird then he wakes up and goes berserk on me ha. Managed to take him though.

How so? Example?
Yeah Gypceros will play dead when he's low on health, the attack he does when he wakes up will hit real hard on higher difficulties.
Rathalos is indeed predictable and easier than a lot of other monsters but I hate that scream > fire blast your face combo. Then if you're down and it decides to spike you with poison.....yeah lol

bad gameplay lol
Anyone with an OG XL have any experience with this? Thinking about getting it since it looks like something that would not only give me the camera control I want, but also ease up the pain on my hands from playing for long amounts of time. The C-stick position is a bit weird, but having played hundreds of hours of FU and P3rd using "the claw", it shouldn't be hard for me to get used to.

Neat, that's going to replace a ton of bookmarks I've set.
Monsters do seem to simply spam attacks like crazy. Gravios beam, Khezu everything, yuans everything. I can see why someone would say they seem robotic. Wasn't as bad in 3u imo.
Still loving the game though.
Thats really cool, Im loving the individuality of each monster.

All those monsters you brought up are 1st gen monsters (ie they premiered in Monster Hunter back in 2004). They have a more primitive moveset compared to newer monsters. Capcom could have updated them to be more intelligent but lol Capcom.

Yep, that's one of his mechanics, his other mechanic is non-stop charges, it seems.
Charge from one end of the area to the other, poison everywhere > turn around > do projectile attack > charge again > rinse and repeat until he leaves the area.
He's pretty fun to fight overall and not that hard otherwise, but that shit is annoying as hell.
I can't really speak for how good it is but the price sure isn't very nice lol
Does it work on the new 3ds xl?
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
I wouldn't think it works on the N3DS. I don't think OG CPPs do.
And where are you looking? I'm seeing it for ~$30 everywhere I look.
Who knows, maybe they changed that restriction in the EU/US version of the game...I want to wear the Varia Suit, but I play a female character, so I have to wear the gross Zero Suit because some stupid reason that can only be speculated.
whose fault is this capcpom. gimme varia suit for ladies.

Yeah its definitely frustrating when they go crazy and you cant get any attacks off.

This Velocidrome armor in HR ain't gotta cut it, lol. I'm gonna try to make this Nerscylla S armor set ASAP.
Thank you, thank you for this post.Just fought Yian Garuga. Man the old monsters are pretty bad compared to third and fourth generation. Most of them seem to have a charge move that hits on frame 1 that's also instantly cancelable directly into other attacks without any kind of transition animation. Their models just jerk from one pose to the next in one frame. I guess Capcom will never fix them.
I know there is something inherently wrong with Yian Garuga gameplay design wise, but I just don't how to put it in english. I could farm Lucent Nargacuga and Shagaru Magala all day because they are very fun to fight, but Yian Garuga is just pure fun killer due to how their attacks work. Its very frustrating since I never encounter something like that in MH3U.
How do you send guild quest? Must you sent it to your friend before you can take the quest together?
A Velociprey X armor would be good, but the farming will be pain alone.
Ten times the pain if you are Lance/Gunlance user.
Well, I used this baby of an accessories.
This is one of my reason why I'm hesitated buying a n3DS since the main problem playing MH on 3DS isn't just the lack of second stick (for me anyway), but also horrible ergonomic that makes me feel like fighting against hand cramps instead of the monsters. Safely to say that I'm very satisfied with my purchase, as hand cramps really isn't a problem anymore unless I play the game while lying on my back. The camera control is also fun to use somehow, getting used to it, including the ZL button is easy and seamless. With this CPP, I can wait until Hori make another grip for n3DS and/or NoA release regular n3DS.

The moment that became especially apparent was the moment I soloed him with a long sword.
All work and no spirit slash finishers make Nova a dull hunter.

Good enough for me. Thanks for the impressions! Will definitely be grabbing one of these now.
yee b. gravios down, only took 28~ minutes lol. I mounted it and for some reason I managed to flip and mount it on it's stomach? Was stabbing it at it's exposed chest which was pretty cool.
Fairly confident that you'd get used to it pretty quickly. I was used to the virtual d-pad and was using that but dragged out my circle pad pro and I'm completely used to it.
I bought it ages ago for MH3U but never liked where the circle pad was in relation to buttons so I kept on using the touch screen d-pad instead. But now my hands are sore as hell and the CPP's grip helps with it, just took 2-3 hunts to get used to the position of the stick.

Anyone who doesn't use Ping's utilities is torturing themselves.
In my experience, I don't recall a single fight where a move has been spammed repeatedly - as in, more than 2, 3 times in near-succession. Not in a way that's bad, at least, I had a horn-broken Gypceros constantly try to flash me, but that's free hits, so keep on trying to clack, Gypceros.
Maybe it's a perception thing - the stuff that really annoys you stands out more, so you think it happens more often than it really should (and actually did). I have absolutely no love for Khezu dropping onto me like a Masahiro Ito interpretation of a sugar glider. And, oh, the words out of my mouth when it did, but in retrospect, it probably only happened 3 times.
Are you telling me that I should be excited, or is it merely teasing?

I found it on amazon and play-asia for $66 and $78

At least I think that's it? might not be lol

Yeah that's a totally different thing. :lol
Just fainted out of a mission for the first time
My hope was to persist long enough to be able to fight Stygian Zinogres and make armour with Charge+1, but now I'm thinking it might be worth making something before that. Can anyone recommend armour attainable at my progression (Village 9*, HR5) that's good for a great sword?
I used a mix of Diablos and Gore to have Sharpness +1, Crit Draw, and Sheathing. Diablos Helm, Diablos Mail, Diablos Vambraces, Gore Flaulds, and Arc Greaves without any talisman use. It's even easier if you have one with Crit Draw or Sheathing. Might be able to add tremor res depending on how good your talisman is. Heck, I'm using mostly the same pieces upgraded with armor spheres in G-rank and added Focus.
Those are package with needless accessory.
If you bought only the CPP, it cost around $30

Neither have I. On the contrary, I beat Plesioth in MHFU almost exclusively by moving away to bait its water beam, closing in to smashing its head while it beamed, and repeating. It would water beam 4 or 5 times in a row.
At that point I really became baffled as to why anyone calls Freedom Unite the best MH.

Finally fought Rajang. It's Donkey Kong crossed with a bull that can turn super saiyan.
It can even go super saiyan 2

Dual SS2 Rajang arena back in MHFU is still one of my crowning achievements in the series. One of the toughest quests of all time.

Did you mount it? It must be like riding a turbo charged rocket
I did during SS2. Kicked me right off lol
This gif should be featured in the OP
I mounted it!

Welp. Just took on that 6* Gore in Caravan quests. Assumed it was low rank because everything else I'd done in 6* so far was low rank.
Nope.
That was fucking painful with my low rank weapons. Thankfully I've got a starter set of high rank armor. Got the tail and the feelers, but my god it took 45 minutes.
My mistake for not noticing that it said "HR 5 and up." under requirements.

Anyone up for Ukanlos (HR7 -> HR8 urgent)?
There is a dual Golden Rajang quest in mh4, have fun!

Upgrade the first and second and they branch into other things. There really aren't too many charge blades compared to other weapons, but you'll eventually see more base forms to craft (although, some that will show up on your list can still be crafted by upgrading those first two you can currently see, like Dear Lutemis, the Rathian charge blade).
Ah right I didn't realise that would reveal more weaps thanks.
