Monster Hunter: I got 99 gems but Goose ain't one - Games

TBH, if MHW slowly introduces silly elements over time, it could ease newcomers, especially westerners, to the crazy of MH. I mean, they clearly want to do fun stuff in MHW. Handler pulling the pickle line on Jho was one of them. I feel like they're being TOO cautious. I hope it picks up after the Halloween update.

I hope they do. The sleep sheep that are coming is a good start but we need more.

aren't "true" elemental weapons better than the desert maracas anyway?

Chicken Wings are definitely top three with pickle claws and Game of thrones blades, and they work on everything pretty much equally. Have the right gear for polish and white sharpness and they hit like absolute trucks laden with angry gooses.

friend chicken dual blades chinese cat lantern gunlance merlin fish lance please I need some LIFE in world

Hammer

I'm a bit 50/50 on the silliness too, but I like it when it's the game creating its own identity like with the Cactus Creamer, the tooth blades, or the let-just-strap-a-giant-fucking-loaded-gun-to-a-stick-hammer. That stuff is a lot better than just pop culture references.

Kinda. It's not like im outright furious about this stuff, I'm just not really into it because it's... kinda stupid if one goes overboard with it? Seems like I'm alone on this, though

I need the blowdart felyne inside a kettle in MHW, the only thing that'll make me main light bowgun

I mean I'm all for the realism. But they currently don't have enough variation.

Ideally every weapon path should be like the Nergigante path. I like the idea of the weapons being the base ones with the monster parts strapped on until the final one where it looks all cool and unique. It appears that they just didn't finish that, though. Not even every Vaal tree has a unique model at the end, and there's other oddities like the Dragon DBs being the only unique ones.

Is there any wyvernsnipe HBG that can use pierce lvl 3 without being useless in some other way? Friend of mine who just got into High Rank is looking for a long range build and I know very little about ranged weapons

Kadachi or Diablos I believe.

>Using LESS dakka Jokes aside I THINK the kadatchi tree of HBG's has Snipe and pierce3 ammo. I think its less realism and more not having a wall of god damn crazy up front that scares off the normies. MH:W was supposed to be a soft reboot in a way, something to more MH from literally the same format since the very first game just with more bloat and creep strapped on while still identifiably being monster hunter.

the vaal hazak shit is infuriating the final vaal hazak longsword doesn't have a unique model, unlike most of the other rarity 8 longswords. also, the final hammer is a fucking god damn axe, who the fuck decided to make the final BLUNT WEAPON, a FUCKING SHARP AXE

I think the Radobaan HBG also uses level 3 pierce, don't know about gimps though. On the note of individual looks for weapons I'm all for it. Some of them look great, I love the design aesthetic of the Zorah Gunlance, or the Shattercryst HBG, I didn't find a bowgun that 'clicked' with me until I built that, and a lot of it was because it looked like an actual rifle and was unique compared to the other HBGs, at least until you get further in the branches and the start becoming more individual. Also speaking as a newcomer to the series with this game, I think there is PLENTY of life in World, I'd been watching it before it's release and waiting for it's PC launch, then when my friends got it and showed me, I bought it that day and haven't looked back. The attention to detail is fucking immense, the freedom, the weapon choices, the armour looks, it's ticking the monster research and hunting boxes of the Witcher 3 and flattening MGSV with it's freedom and gathering but it's still growing and comes from a long line of previous instalments that gave the devs the experience for this. I love it, but if you asked if I wanted more? Hell yes. But it's not like I'll be getting to the end of the rod anytime soon. Sorry for the gush, but this games blown me away a few times over, mostly on the sheer content and attention to detail sides. Tl;Dr : I love this game and can't wait for the content to catch up for PC

Don't talk shit about my axe hammer, that thing is awesome.

Honestly, I think the "realism" train went off the rails the moment the game introduced you to the pun-slinging talking cats. If you can handle that, you can handle the other weird shit MonHun tosses at you.

Holy shit I did it, I completed Advanced: Out of the Frying Pan in Monster Hunter: Generations and I gotta admit that really tested my skills with a lance, Deviljho first and then Nargacuga and Tigrex both together in the arena (oh my god I hate these two together, they make for a dangerous pair, though, mainly the Tigrex, that bastard is so unpredictable) took me three tries but I finally got it on my third try.

Game of thrones blades... Fire and Ice right? Love the way they're called, might just make fightincowboy's setup with them. Really liked Sin aswell, but they're too simple.

Not really, and I don't get why this argument keeps coming up. There are degrees of improbability to any given piece of fiction. This is literally why the hard/soft sci-fi divide exists. Things like talking animals and giant dragons have existed in the myths of cultures around the world for centuries, entirely unironically. Unbelievability isn't an all-or-nothing approach to fiction, there's no precedent for a talking cat to immediately segue into the over-the-top silliness for its own sake as seen in previous MHs with stuff like the pizza charge blade.

Because those cats help establish the fact that the game has a sense of humor. The sense of humor that results in stuff like the Sharq Attack lance or the Pizza charge blade. It shouldn't be a stretch to say that cats who call monsters "meownsters" is the same level of silly as using a shark as a lance with a "no swimming" sign as the shield. Hell, a recent update to World lets you use two fluffy little birds as dual blades.

I am still unsure how you are getting from point A to point B, because it definitely seems like a stretch to me, so let me raise the following counter-argument. Why are you so sure that the "meow"ing inbetween words is a pun? As far as I know, all the Palicos (that aren't the Chef) do it, and they do it consistently. Whenever it can be substituted, it will be. When we look at Palicoes all together, we see that they have their own cat language, and that, as the other species can't speak it, that they are first and foremost fluent in their cat language and likely learn human language much later. If we assume the "meow"ing and all subsequent cat sounds are actually valid and important phonemes in the original cat language, and that they learn human language later, we can then extrapolate that the "meow"s in the human words aren't puns, but the result of the cats replacing phonemes in human language that are similar to the ones in their language because they come more naturally to them. Essentially, the cats are just speaking with an accent, equivalent to how a French speaker might replace "th" sounds English with "z" sounds eg; "Ze cat on ze stairs". It takes time and a lot of practice to be able to mirror a language's phonology that's different to your own and it is still possible for long-time speakers to have trouble pronouncing sounds that are difficult for them. I bring this up because this is what I thought was actually happening, and this isn't unrealistic. On the contrary, this is actually what you get in real life, all the time. I didn't even think of it really as puns because those imply that it's happening on purpose, I thought it more as a neat touch that shows the Palico's cat language origins.

The Ranch Paw in Generations doesn't use cat-speak at all, only throwing in meowified words after the fact like it's an obligation.

I really miss the Scythe-looking longsword designs: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/monsterhunter/images/6/6c/Weapon446.png/revision/latest?cb=20120512093406

How is something like this not in the game when you have Vaal Hazak?

Is world your first? There are Palicos that talk normally in other games. It's heavily implied that it's forced in MHGU when there's a Palico at the farm who keeps forgetting to say the puns etc. But why is this even a thing? It's talking cats man suspend some disbelief

How do I gain access to the Frozen Seaway on MHgen ult? I can't for the life of me remember how I did it in the regular version, or if I even did it at all. I can't even find any mention of it online either. I see that its possible to get there in low rank according to Kiranico but not how.

"axe hammer" it's a fucking oversized axe you trog because instead of giving the rarity 8 ls a unique design, they just kept the rarity 7 one https://monsterhunterworld.wiki.fextralife.com/file/Monster-Hunter-World/hazak_grosser.png

You should just be getting access to all the maps as you rank up, there's no special conditions for maps IIRC, though it's possible you can't get access to certain maps until you reach high rank or G-rank. I haven't played GU and it's been a while since I played G though.
