It's criminal that there's no tits and ass slider like in DD2 tho.

mods to the rescue:

@H.P. Lovecraft's Cat Seems like PSN's back up, still got another day or so to enjoy the beta.

Man that shit was fucked up. I know it's not Capcom's fault but they should give us an extra day.

They just announced an extra day fwiw

Anyone beat Arkveld yet? Either I can't DPS enough in 20 minutes or I team up and everyone else wipes.

Just like Nerg in the World Beta I guess. Good times.

 

[GentlemanCthulhu]

Hmm really looking forward to this one.

Charge Blade can't catch a break, can it? Every installment MH team tries to revamp what 4U had already perfected.

-From Beta 1 to Beta 2, they fixed the charged double slash combo so it's easier to pull off.

-I think the fastest SAED now is from guard point combo. It encourages more use of guard points, if for some reason you weren't doing them before. Most times if you're doing an AED-SAED combo the SAED will not be optimally targeted, not to mention it's very hard to line up two combos on a non-incapacitated monster.

-Guard points seem easier than ever.

-Savage axe on wounds feels fine. Having dedicated savage axe mode cluttered up the moveset too much before, now it feels like it has a purpose.

-Charged sword seems to cause more flinching now

-You can double-charge phials now. I have no idea what it does, but it must be good right?

Yeah, I noticed that GP -> SAED was the fastest one and I have no qualms about that. I just think the stationary AED -> SAED is too cumbersome when you just want to attack an immobile target (sleeping, paralyzed etc). Unnecessary change and doesn't flow well enough.

Don't care for Savage Axe so cannot comment much on its improvements.

Some interesting new tech on the GS

They went all out on the new monster designs. They look crazy good. Too bad they had to spoil so many.

I hate that Capcom insists on including that damn fog, unfortunately since they designed the game around using that fog it looks terrible when you turn it off completely

Unreal Engine is a curse for graphics.

It's the RE engine. DUH!!!!

Also Silent Hill got a pass for using fog to hide it's blemishes in 1999. I think we can show Capcom the same courtesy.

Happy to read that. They should work on the visuals though.

It looks like shit yet runs like shit. A true technological marvel.

Save that for when we are playing the release build. Optimization is the #1 thing Capcom was working on between the previous beta and now, even above the weapon balance changes. Though if you are still having problems with the Benchmark test, sadly not much is going to change. Gonna have to fiddle with the .cfg files.
