You could use minds eye, but then your attacks would still do less damage.

Cheers for this. Very informative. I'm absolutely stoked for this game.

So I finally listened to all of those and you weren't lying, they are fantastic. I'd love to hear music like that in MHW. These games have legit great soundtracks.
Good taste in OST, friend

Apex mechanic might be the most annoying thing ever introduced in the series. All your shit bounces no matter what sharpness unless you hit a specific area or use a temporary buff.

Glad you liked them! Yeah, MH music is quality stuff. Even their side albums can be amazing, like the ethnic sounds one, their tribute albums, and their quirky ones like the brass quintet album.So I finally listened to all of those and you weren't lying, they are fantastic.

Right back at ya
Behold, Zinogre's theme from the Ethnic Sounds album!
Brachydios's theme from the Brass Quintent album! Extra: the the cooking theme. omg, I fucking love this version. It's adorably infectious.
Nargacuga's theme in jazz form.
All right, I'll try to keep my love of MH music in check for a bit
.Yep, hated the arena quests with them even more.
I don't think that Apex hunting was a bad idea in theory, but it adds a lot of busywork to the hunts for a surprisingly meager reward. It's really more for the sake of being able to do it than anything else, which is fine, but not really what most people are looking for in the series. The Everwood G-rank versions of monsters you could get from other players is a lot more worthwhile, I feel.

Daily reminder this theme exists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45qaAERhrDA (Odibatorasu from Frontier).

Really I could listen to MH themes all day, that's a thing they usually don't fail.
Unfortunately, a lot of the value in Tri is long dead, since the servers shut down years ago and locks you out of being able to fight the likes of Deviljho, Jhen Mohran and Alatreon. Thankfully, they are all present and accounted for in 3U and can be fought any time you like, online, locally and solo!

Cant come soon enough
Im actually dying to play MH again
Im hoping XX has a japanese demo so I have something to dick around with to quench my hunger
I am working my way through Horizon which certainly tickles the senses
And presumably, that goes for both the 3DS and Wii U versions of MH3U ?
Thanks!
Not at all! While there's no actual online mode built into the 3DS version (there is an official tunneling app that helps get around that), the Wii U version is still going strong in that regard, and it would be less detrimental if the servers do shut down as all the content in the game is playable solo.
Freedom Unite is amazing. Spent more than 500 hours in that game.

Which one? I have nice memories of playing P3rd with friends thanks to a fan translation but not sure how well it holds solo now.
Actually what I meant was, all the online content from Tri on Wii that's no longer accessible ( by normal means ) is there in 3U on Wii U and 3DS, both online and offline, right?
Yes, that is correct. The single player story was also expanded in 3U to feature some of those monsters as a part of the natural progression. Even Alatreon winds up being the final-final challenge for the story, though unlocking it is a pain in the ass and the fight itself will remind you often of why he used to be exclusive to multiplayer.
I've been playing 3U with friends weekly, as I missed that game so much.
I can't wait for World, for certain now.
I do believe it is all there. ^_^

While we're on the subject of music, let's talk about Chameleos's theme and how things that happen in-game affect the actual music.
IT FUCKING BECOMES MUFFLED IN-GAME WHEN HE GOES INVISIBLE. HOW FUCKING COOL IS THAT. COME ON.

Ah good -- It's never a good feeling when you find out there's content you can't get to because servers get shut down!
I'm going to import XX to scratch my MH itch until MHW. I'm so over the 3DS MH games though. Need the new hotness.
by the time you play through all that, Monster Hunter World 2 will be out, lol.

Damn, lol. Why all the 3s though? 3 Ultimate makes Tri entirely redundant, you can safely ignore it.
Yuri is saying that style and hunter arts will not be carried over from MH gen series.

Funny enough, the story mode does have one fight entirely exclusive to it that does not appear in any other mode of play, though it is by far the most boring goddamned thing the game has to offer.
Ceadeus is a great example of how having a cool design doesn't always translate to being a fun monster.

P3rd is my favourite solo experience except for 4U. Soloing G-rank is a mess, though, imo, so I'm not about that. If you want G-rank for soloing, then obviously it's not the best.
Anywho since i can now post again I know i was quite worried about any changes they would make to have this fit the west more but after all the impressions and the leaked gameplay im content now. I'll miss having a handheld version to cart around but ah well. Trying to convince a friend to jump in on World with me so i can have a hunting party.

Portable isnt totally a lost cause
Depending on the system requirements it may be possible to run this game on various tablets/mini windows consoles and more if they have enough power
I also expect Switch to get a 5th gen entry at some point. The fact that XX even got a port in Japan is a good sign that they are pulling this exclusive to one platform shit again.
Whether or not they localize all the titles going forward.... that needs to change.
Ah shit I thought it's today :<
I dont really have a tablet or anything to play it like that. But its fine I will play it on PS4. I do see a lot of people being sure Switch will get a game at some point after XX. I just hope it comes over.
Too soon I think. It'll be playable for the public for the first time at Gamescom. Expect a demo or a beta closer to the release date.
If true my hype for this game dropped massively. Did this game start development before Generations? I'm just wondering why so many great Generations features are not being implemented.
I'm a man of simple taste, Capcom. Just give me Prowler pls
They've added several ways to jump in MHW. Verticality has gotten a boost across the board. I think you'll be OK.
I'm going to miss Adept evade but I realise it made the game a bit too easy at times.

If the battle theme that played during the leaked e3 demo was any indication, music will be as godlike as ever.
Yeah, I'm not expecting a demo or beta until January-ish.

I'm glad the styles didn't make it. They made the game too easy for pros and needlessly complex for newcomers. Sounds like there will still be super moves though, so that should be pretty fun.
Prowler mode, though, will be missed.
I want to see the IG, SA, and CB.

Only reason I liked Prowler was for resource gathering, which they're already making more convenient in general in MHW, so I'm kind of glad they're cut so I don't have to battle as them.

Not made by the same team. Same reason why you had the actual weapons attack strength in portable 3rd but they went back with the obfuscated numbers in 4.
I think just by virtue of being able to aim the kinsect properly will improve the weapon a hundred times over for me. Aerial style will be dearly missed though. You're right about verticality in MH:W too, although I was weary of that grappling hook since I saw it in the trailer. I hope it doesn't make the game too easy or anything.
I keep imagining we can use it to have Attack on Titan style fights though.
Prowler's mix of melee and range gameplay felt very distinct from all the other weapons. It was really fun, they should add it later on in the game even if by an expansion or an updated version of the game. Heck just make the boomerang a new weapon.
I dunno... felt shallow compared to the actual weapons. Wouldn't mind if they made a new weapon inspired by it though.

I say keep prowler mode as far away from MH world as you can Capcom. Everyone's worried MH will get dumbed down and that's exactly what prowler mode does to the game. It gives you infinite stamina.
