So is this playable with KB+ M, or is like DS1 (or 2) in this respect?

The KB + M controls are actually extremely good. If I wasn't so used to playing MH with a controller, I'd probably use it myself.

 

[Efe]

you cant use half of the item/shortcut wheel with kb&m. its fine other than that

 

[darthaegis]

Or you can change the wheel to the keyboard version in "Radial Menu Type" (beats me why I doesn't just automatically change if you don't have a controller plugged in).

True but some of the arts were quite fun to use and gave some weapons ability to quickly close up to monster like GS.
Aerial while a bit weird imho made Dual Blades finally playable for me and made a lot of sense for that weapon.
Imho it is fun spin off but anyone looking to do most of the stuff will barf from amount of shitty annoying gathering quests.

It's not all bad, and I was very happy that some MH Gen introductions were rolled into the baseline in World, for example the Super Charged Hammer moves (carry overs from Adept Hammer and the Spinning Meteor Hunter Art). They really, really enhanced the Hammer gameplay.
But the amount of trash quests you need to do to unlock shit is really annoying, yeah. Makes the game very unfriendly for fresh start replays.
Also Provoke was a god send for Hammering in MHGen.

It just occurred to me one thing they could do to raise the ceiling even higher on damage output is make affinity do stuff over 100%- allow for double crits or something to that effect the way Warframe does. I kind of hope they don't go that route though, all these 100% affinity builds already feel really silly, I wish they had made a much bigger gap between theoretical max damage and what you can actually get with gear. Maybe they'll do a total mechanics overhaul when Iceborne comes out but it seems unlikely since it'd make a lot of people butthurt over the gear they collected.

 

[Angthoron]

Well I gave this a try, been kinda busy so just did the intro so far but uhh

uhh

I like it?

They need to bring back Sword Oils for SnS in Iceborne. Forgot just how much more fun the SnS was in MHG/U with them.

Does SnS in Generations have the jump attack? It's the one in which you slide back, charge and if the attack connects you jump. It's way too fun to smash heads with the shield.

It has the back hop but the jump was an addition to it in World. There are other ways to smash heads in Gen with SnS, including a Shoryuken shield slam.

no PC yet

altho i am surprised the monster is leshen, not griffins or manticores which fit alot in monster-huntery and probably just need to re-use kirin's skeleton with added wings

 

[Vorark]

Quite meaty, popamole4 is downloading almost 2gb.

 

[Turisas]

 

[Perkel]

yeah suprising choice, i would think griffin, maticore etc would fit much better mh games.
But hey monstert hunter xx had monster with jets on his wings soo...

when iceborne hits i will replay all of those ministuff.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Reached HR, I guess I can start grinding now

 

[Perkel]

BTW did some counting to show people exactly how small mhw is compared to previous entries and why veterans talk about it being "short" in therms of gear and stuff.

Great Sword final forms of weapons (so weapon upgraded to max):

MHGU - 135 and more or less each is unique and some of them are upgraded like 10 times most 5-8 times.
MH W - 23 and half of them use more or less similar model with just details changed. If you would go for totally unique model it would be like 10

 

[Hobo Elf]

Too bad MHGU online is pretty inactive. There were only ~15 players online each time I checked.

playing online via discord in citra is much better imho. You can easily team up with people.
Also there is patch for MHXX which translates games using MHGU translation.

different colored greatswords don't really matter when they all function the same

 

[Perkel]

They are not just different colored weapons. They are effectively trophies.
And you can see that by criticism of MHW in weapon departament.

 

[Anthedon]

What are the requirements for nine star quests?

Xeno'Jiiva is so fucking cool.
