Incline Monster Hunter World - G-rank edition. Now on PC.

[Perkel]

Xeno'Jiiva is so fucking cool.

meh monster. Though it is upgrade over another stationary event based monster. At least it moves around and fights.

 

[Vorark]

Oh, I meant aesthetically. The fight itself is nothing special.

Man, imagine fighting Shagaru with these souped up graphics...

 

[Perkel]

Fuck shegaru. I want Tiggy with mhw treatment. tiggy is like perfect monster to show how open map can fuck you up, with its constant rage and following you everywhere.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Make that a Molten Tigrex.

 

[sullynathan]

Tobi Kadachi already does this well. We don't need Tigrex or Nargacuga. Both monsters are practically clones of each other

Tobbi ? Nah. It is weak squirrel.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Clearly the answer is a molten tobi with a fuckhuge lazorbeam attack.

 

[sullynathan]

Tobbi ? Nah. It is weak squirrel.

It was one of the best monsters in the entire game, regardless of it having low HP.

 

[Monocause]

Didn't play this yet but just wanted to say I find it hilarious the game features a big group of horribly savage people absolutely ransacking pristine natural areas, butchering the shit out of every creature they can find, carving out pieces of said creatures, forging improved weapons and armor out of those body parts to butcher even more creatures...

And this is called "fauna research" that furthers "ecological study".

Well you can capture monsters instead of butchering them.

Yeah Tobi has great design but it ain't Tiggy and can't really fit that role.
I would love to see its G-rank version. Speaking of electric monsters, i can't wait to see Zinogre.
Zinogre with MHW animations AI behavior and versatility should be amazing thing to watch and fight.

And now imagine how awesome the game could have been if it reflected that little story with it's graphics, atmosphere and story. :3

Zinogre is good, but I would prefer new monsters.

kill urself storyfag. Monster Hunter isn't an edgy series, it's lighthearted

It's not lighthearted, it's infantile.

Also, lol@storyfag. The game already has a huge amount of cutscenes (are they still unskippable? Haven't played in a while), could as well be good instead of this banal shit we got instead.

 

[sullynathan]

is the witcher stuff permanent like the FFXIV stuff? I don't have a PS4 with me now so I wanna play it later?

less than 2 hours of cutscenes in which most are monster intros isn't a huge amount. Monster Hunter in tone is nothing like that comic strip, it's not brutal and is very lighthearted in its portrayal of its setting.

yes there are skippable cutscenes.

 

[Efe]

you start the game and have very little control for a good 40-50 minutes.
you do what it tells you to do, watch unskippable cutscenes and try to decide whether you should refund.
thankfully gets better afterwards

Yeah if i had to choose between old and new monster i will always chose new.
Since MH3 most of their new monsters are clearly superior to older ones.

Nope, it is lighthearted.

Yes it is but for PC gamers it doesn't matter because there are already mods out there that enable those event quests i think.

 

[Anthedon]

I reached the endgame, I think. And it's more farming! Mostly Decorations and Augmentations. I assume G-rank gear will be superior to the current armor and weapons. Did it also include decorations in the past?

They had decorations before, but in past games I never played High or G rank

 

[Emmanuel2]

Of the older games I've played, decor RNG weren't the endgame since every decor is available through grinding, but I'll try to recall and list them still with spoilers.

Spoiler

In FU, the endgame was about just the grind, there was no "padding" so to speak. Just regular monster killing to get better and harder quests until you eventually cleared all the hardest things. The best Decor and Weapons weren't locked behind luck unless you count droprate. Best sets are usually what you get, mixing set pieces is very, very hard and very rarely useful compared to full sets.

In 4U, the endgame was about getting the perfect Relic and perfect Talisman which can consume hundreds or thousands of hours, but most of it is on the latter. If you're looking to speedrun according to TA rules, you're shit out of luck if you want to do it "legit" by farming for a talisman unless you want to settle for a subpar time. Relic weapons are sometimes better than the crafted ones too but they're generally easier to get since the pool and variables are smaller, you can somewhat control what type of weapon drops too IIRC. True endgame quests are randomly generated Guild Quests levelled to max which scale beyond G-Rank.

In X, endgame was the same talisman hunt but has an added level 10 Deviant Grind which won't take a while to be honest. I haven't played XX (found X to be really easy and wanted to burn through backlog first), but I'd assume it's mostly the same but with GQ's making a come back.

In the latest 3 entries (4U, X, XX) before and including World, mixed sets were the way to go for the endgame including having all the decors you want readily available (except in World's case).

 

[Hobo Elf]

They swapped decoration and talisman grinding in MHW. Before you'd farm talismans and craft decos. The thing is that deco farming sucks harder than talisman farming ever did since they always had some easy as shit quest that rewarded you with tons of talisman, not to mention that in MHG you could use bad talismans to meld them into potentially better ones. MHW has / had some quests that give decos but not in the same volumes as the talisman quests of before would reward you with. And unless you were a perfectionist you could make do with a talisman that was "decent". I feel the RNG decos were far more punishing in MHW.

 

[Efe]

greatest jagras gives you decos by dozens, then you meld extras and get most of what you want that way

End game in MH games is basically G-rank aka the hardest content and making new sets of weapons and armors.
MHW doesn't really have that much of those so main focus in it is talisman crafting and decorations drops.

If you would want to craft all 130+ Great Swords and max them out in MHXX it would take you alone 200-500hours.
1000s of pieces of armor and literally thousands of weapons to craft coupled with very very hard G-rank content is what MH players consider end game. Talismans and decorations rng is just additional part of it but not that important.

Making a Dual Blade of every element is what I'm doing right now. There's also some good armor from Kulve Taroth and Behemoth, but I dread the multiplayer part. Is anyone playing this with randoms and if so, how is it working out?
