MH peaked at Tri and P3rd.
Those games still exist.
>Tri
Get your head checked out.
>every monster is kino as frick, they look fairly natural and not overdesigned pokemon bullshit like Teostra, Magnamalo or Astalos
>comfy tropical island atmosphere
>weapons still work in the classic way, no overly flashy anime counters and jump attacks
>a game you can play and finish in a reasonable amount of time, no endless grind for autists who have no life
Tri was incredibly based
Teostra predates Tri, son.
So?
Tri doing away with some of the old monsters was the right call.
Like fricking Basarios or Cephadrome.
>nerfed monsters
>half the weapons missing
>introduction of unnecessary RNG shit with the Talismans
>underwater as a huge dev resource sink that made so that the game had less than 20 monsters
It was the beginning of the end. P3rd was decent but it too was tainted. FU was the last truly great MonHun game.
I can't stand FU weapon movesets. Actually giving weapons more than 2-3 moves automatically makes post FU games better for me
monsters
How disigenous, rathalos was reworked to be less a hurdle to fight when he was flying and Diablos was definitely better than its respective HR equivalent in Fu and even kept the new G rank move from FU
Actually play the damn games before talking
Teostra is not overdesigned, if you count him then you have to count Alatreon
Filtered.
3rd gen without Duramboros or the bears feels really weird to me Wroggi too.
They hated him because he told them the truth
I think you meant 3U champ
Maybe music wise. Tadayoshi MaKINO doesn't get put on enough shit
>MH peaked at the game that removed a ton of weapons and casualized the series and a shitty weeaboo flavoured spinoff that further casualized the series and destroyed the classic aesthetic
>casualized the series
Solo Alatrepn proof?
Some weapons should be removed. Like insect glaive, gunlance and charge blade.
>P3rd
Nah
That's correct, sir.
MHFU is a very close second.
Blame the tendies and their shit tranime gameplay. Ruined MH for good. Frick verticality.
FIRST POST BEST POST
For me, it's Tri and Frontier.
ARE THOSE WATERFALLERINOS?
About halfway into every new MH, I get the strongest urge to emulate MHFU but then realize I've already put 2k hours into it, and I wouldn't want to play it all again without a consistent friend group.
Turns out it was playing with friends that made it fun, not the game itself.
The original on PS2 doesn't hold up nowadays, but I have fond memories of playing it. Loved those ecology clips and the cutscene with the hunters strategically hunting a ratholos. I wish the series had went in a more grounded direction with more simulation aspects than the flashy anime action we're getting these days.
mhw is the best mh by a mile and i'm sick of the whining that i know is just because the games became popular
Found the disgruntled worldsperm
Just make MonHun PC exclusive already
Why?
Outside of performance, PC is probably the worst platform to play it on due to the community, and rampant cheating.
>nostalgia fapping

>**Is the peak of the series, even two generations later**
nice reddit formatting you fricking homosexual
generations is not a monster hunter game, the gameplay got objectively obliterated by the addition of OP anime moves
>anime moves
it's the peak of shit alright. only rise is worse than that generation of garbage.
I think I got that one a while ago because it's supposed to be a pretty comprehensive MH game. I missed out on all cool sorts of shit during the years so I wanted to check out the older stuff.
>emulator resolution

Zoomers will never know this feel
its specifically zoomers that know this feel because boomers would play with others instead when the game was still being played.
and no, hunsterverse doesnt count.
You mean every single zoomer who had a PSP in 2009 knew this feel. Freedom Unite will be 14 years old soon. Someone aged 10 back then would be 24 this year. Just to let you know
t.will be 24 this year and 100%'d FU when I was 11[/sooiler]
mh is possibly the sharpest nosedive in art style in any vidya series. they look completely terrible now.
i will never forget playing world for the first time... holy kino...
world 2 please save us
>soulless bone weapons
>that beach section where the monster just gets caught in the environment because everything needs to babby the hunter
when I see world all I see is diarrhea.
>soulless bone weapons
beats trashy Kamen Rider outfits that are extremely hideous in every way. World had top notch armor design. Rise is an embarrasment.
kys secondary
seething bingtroon
You're legit the only one bringing up Rise and now Nintendo. You've got a chip on your shoulder.
You're very easy to spot, fatlard.
Rise is literally a stop-gap. They've been working on MH6 all this time in the background.
MHW was my childhood...
You're too young to post here

Sad life man I sincerely hope you get better one day

I wasn't even the original anon you replied to. However I will post proof that I do not fit your imaginary strawman if you promise to seek help. Not everyone has to be your enemy.
Bro I don't care about your dragon dildo
Wish I had one but I'm 2shy to order one because it would get stuck in customs. I don't see what dragonwieners have to do with this though.
So true, sad.
Rise still looks more proper "monsterhuntery". High fidelity photorealism is not da MH wai.
world babies have such shit taste
no but dragons dogma 2 will
Yes it will my friend, yes it will.
you gays better play dos AND tri when the private servers are up, we just cant stop winning classic chads
>emulators
DOA I'll just wait for the real thing
bro.....this is less likely than a mh collection consisting of FU, 3U and 4U which is already extremely unlikely at this point but i admire your hopium
TGS 2023. Trust the plan.
>HD ver
an HD version could really only look bad.
>leave shit unchanged and just play it at higher resolution?
youll see muddy low res textures that wouldve been blended together with CRT blur.
>update assets with higher res textures?
just looks awful, every time without fail
>completely remake the entire game from the ground up
might look good but youll inevitably loose traits and characteristics that made the original what it is and youll ultimately end up with a completely different game instead.
really, the best thing they could ever do from the players perspective is release a version of the original game that works without their servers. let people make a peer to peer connection, no matter if its through emulation or people using real hardware
Just play it at the original resolution and on a CRT
why did they have to make worlds. really was the downfall of the series
To appease normies and casuals for maximum profitability
>becomes a literal money printing machine
every time
Never trust companies, least of all publicly traded ones
I liked loading screens because they made the world feel a lot bigger. I always imagined every area was miles apart.
Monster Hunter Stories 2 is on sale for 20 dollars. is it worth it. and deluxe pack any good?
>playing a shota
frick no
It's nice but I personally got bored of the combat after figuring sync attacks and never finished it. I simply don't like turn based I guess.
If you enjoy pokemon, it isn't bad at all. It just gets pretty repetitive, especially if you're trying to make your monster as powerful as possible.
World was comfy too. But man Rise is anti-soul. I blame RE Engine.
World looks extremely generic to me tbh, zero personality
World and also Rise for some ungodly reason use much less saturation compared to old games. Rise lighting is also terrible thanks to REengine I guess.
Western audiences + pbr + deferred rendering etc etc
>World and also Rise for some ungodly reason use much less saturation compared to old games
I like color too but this statement is inaccurate. It was really only 4th gen that bumped the saturation up. And even then it was mostly 4U. Since MHXX had a ton of maps from the older games you can see what kind of colors they were working with here
and compare them to
World had a ton of other things going for it under the hood including the VFX details. Reminder of what is looks like https://youtu.be/2hh8TfEmIRw?t=8
Only the 3DS games were highly saturated, probably because the screen was garbage? Compare Tri and 3U: https://youtu.be/HEgWbrJQPSs?t=87
And then with MH4 they went full World of Warcraft.
World is much closer to the original artstyle.
I wonder how it feels as a designer to make all these elaborate armor sets only to have players immediately hide their helmets then pick whatever set shows the most skin
My problem with MH is the fact it's getting to modern. I liked it as a more UNGA world.
Honestly feeling this too, cant be assed to get to g rank in mhrise
mhfu via ad hoc party ...
>MH games with local only multiplayer
yes because all my friends want to get together in the same room everytime we want to play monster hunter. frick 3U on 3ds for doing that shit too
Played every MH starting from FU. 3U and Sunbreak are the most fun by far
You mean skyboxes?
3U is definitely the last time MH was like I like it.
Sandy Plains in Tri is the best area, this is indisputable.
Got both Iceborn and Sunbreak ready to play, on PC. Which one should I spend my time with? I already "beat" both games in their vanilla forms.
Sunbreak has much better endgame imo but you might want to clear Fatalis in IB
How far out are we from the next MH? I burned out on Rise got a few hundred hours but haven't felt motivated to play it since they added the metal raths.
2024
maybe
Man that's so far maybe I need to just bite the bullet and catch up on what I missed. For some reason the gameplay of Rise isn't clicking with me as good, the monsters feel like they're too fast and don't do as much damage.
>the monsters feel like they're too fast
They're about as fast as they were in gen 4
>don't do as much damage
I don't see this. Things seem pretty par for the course here.
The difficulty curve in Rise is the most gentle yet, but the peak is also honestly the most difficult. The end game is full of monsters that one shot you even through moxie because they have le epic status traps that eat through that last bit of HP and the game is filled with epic troll self damage offensive armor-skills that constantly chip away at your own HP.
Haha don't worry I run a dereliction frenzy set I know. Are all the updates done now I might boot it up
No, there's one in February and at least one more sometime in spring.
There are at least two more updates left.
I'll get a good laugh out of it if there's another Rise expansion.
Doubtful but it might get extended TUs followed by HD ports if MH6 is having development issues
We don't even know when TUs will end definitively, just that there are two more for the first half of 2023.
what you get is Rise ports to xbawks and piss, which to me are no doubt results of delay in original plan to have MH6 ready this year. so now they hastily prepare those ports so they can release at least "something" for yearly MH quota
>tfw quadruple dipping on Rise
But it still does?
Love this arena my hopium for last TU is Yama + tower but I doubt it'll happen

monster hunter has never been about atmosphere; it's about hunting monsters.

The damage world did to the series is irreparable, and will forever change the direction of the series to pander to ADHD ridden burgers who want to see big numbers and want to treat it like a GAAS. Rise is awful as well for entirely different reasons, mostly focused around fixation on shitty wirebug moves and skill bloat
world was pretty much the point of no return yea
numbers
You can turn them off and people already hacked in visible numbers since FU
on graphical fidelity
Yeah, how horrible it is that for one time MH looks passable
>>maps are claustrophobic and horribly designed
Maps are the best in the series bar none
loading zones
A good thing
difficulty
You gays couldn't stop whining about every season's boss though, I still remember when Kulve 1 came out and hardly any of you fricks could even complete the event, when Alatreon came out in IB you couldn't stop crying for a week about how hard it was
weapons, at least until iceborne
Better than that shitty Mattel toy aesthetic in Ichinose's games
game
Forced cutscenes suck but so did shit like underwater combat
>>le follow the fireflies game design
Yeah that sucks, but you can ignore it
A rework of shit that XX introduced with Hunter Style, don't blame World for shit XX did first
>>tons of absurd hit fx filling the screen
Less than XX actually
>>maps are filled with tons of foliage and random shit cluttering the map
Untrue, the only case where you might say this is the ancient forest, which is on par with the average jungle area in the previous games
color pallet
The game looks beautiful
western collabs to pander to their new audience
Literally a non issue outside of Ancient Leshen, frick that
acting
Full voice acting in Wyverian is incredibly soulful
>>FOMO MMO style limited timed events (i know they were in earlier games, its still garbage)
At least you admit you're spouting bullshit, it's the same exact thing Tri did by the way
RNG decoration farming
Ah yes, because Rustshard grind was so much better, hmmm?
>Maps are the best in the series bar none
>Muh tiny corridors with nothing in it and non distinct, featurless big arenas tho
World's only issue with map design is removing map elements that made monsters like Blos or Tiggy to get stuck in during their moron charges, but they doubled down on environmental interactions and gimmicks to make up for that so it's not bad
We get it, you never played the older games.
>so cramped that monsters constantly clips walls and uneven terrain and sone cant even use their complete movesets
>slopes and ledges worse than the 4th gen maps
>free traps everywhere, monsters are more in danger in own turf and barely have any advantages over the player

>man i sure do love monster hunter world's maps!

>You can turn them off
the game is designed around them being on, and they made the weak spot blood effects harder to notice
>Yeah, how horrible it is that for one time MH looks passable
>Maps are the best in the series bar none

bait
>At least you admit you're spouting bullshit, it's the same exact thing Tri did by the way
whyd you acknowledge that i know its in older games, then go on to inform me that it was in older games? being in older games doesnt make it good, world brought it back after not being in the past few games which is garbage
>Ah yes, because Rustshard grind was so much better, hmmm
nice strawman. shitty systems existing in past games not excuse shitty systems existing in other games, braindead moron. also stop conflating me with tri-gays
>everyone that hates world is a MH3 fanboy: the post
BASED
You know someone is stupid if they say Tri is the peak.
Tri was the peak
You know someone is stupid if they say Tri isn't the peak.
>world fans hate monster hunter
accurate
Even frontier is more true to monster hunter than Rise/world
these graphics are so unimmersive
I hope the next doesn't have Diablos.
you don't like diablos?
He's okay. But I've seen him so many times now. I'd rather he take a break for one game because I also like monoblos.
Are there actually private servers up & running on the PS2 version english & japan?
That's fine, they are moving in a different direction now
I want to frick this cat
Cat is fine, too.
GATITA
For me it's God Eater
for me, its the charge spear
The first God Eater was unironically great.
I wish it didn't lean into the anime stuff so hard, it ruined 2 for me.
If there's one thing I hate about modern MH is that it killed discussion of the series here because of world shit flinging and the de-emphasis of lobbies in game.
In 3 days, troons, Black folk and snoy towelheads will infest and ruin the best monster hunter game we’ve had since Gen. can’t fricking believe this, capcom is so fricking moronic. Remember to ignore and never bump all snoy Rise threads
You're too obvious, eric.
Now that the dust has settled, I guess we can all agree that Pokke is the best village by a substantial margin, right?
>bed under a huge window
I really liked Pokke house, I plan to retire in something like that
For me, it's Loc Lac City
Is it worth playing the OG game?
I'm a big fan of the older gens that are superior on most aspects to 5th gen but MH1 is the exception.
If you are a huge MH fan, it's neat to see where the series came from. Otherwise, if you actually want to have fun, treat FU as the first game.
Turf wars are the best addition of nuMH and FRICK whoever dislike it.
Does anyone here have weird headcanon about the MHverse?
I like to think that Rank-G hunters are actually big superstars in the world of MH and everybody know them, and there are, like, 100 of them in the entire world or something like that.
>I like to think that Rank-G hunters are actually big superstars in the world of MH and everybody know them
Your headcanon is somehow identical to the MH EPISODE manga, where all of them are infact famous superstars and there are only a few of them of course one of the two females is literally a fricking idol bawd for real too. They can actually manage stuff like "kill monster in 15 minutes" which is easy in the games but pretty much impossible if they were real, though it depends(MC and feMC took 8 hours to kill a single not-fully-adult HR Brachydios while the G hunter that helped them finished it off without sweating and just after taking literally TWO minutes to kill a HR Volvidon just for practice) .Not that G-rank means anything against Gore Magala though.
Wait MonHun actually got some manga?
Is it as good as other Capcom manga like Mega Man Megamix?
MH has like 6 or 7 manga, i know just a few Also i am a moron, that one was MH EPIC.
>MH ORAGE
The first. Has basically nothing to do with MH other than a few monsters and weapons. Drawn by Fairy Tail guy. It's shit.
>MH EPISODE
Collection of autoconclusive various stories with many hunters. You've probably seen a few panels posted. Amazing.
>MH EPIC
What i narrated earlier. "ORAGE if it was actually good and MH based", it helps that the feMC uses drawing to understand monsters for an original gimmick.
>MH FLASH
Best and longest, but also the edgiest. It truly represent how dangerous the MH world is, and it's the closest in representing the series and its gameplay.
I've heard a bit about Orange but never knew monster hunter had this many manga.
Capcom-based manga have always had some good quality in general though so I'm down to read up on this shit, thanks based monhun anon
Do you have a link for MH Episode and MH Flash?
Only the first 4 chapters of FLASH are online, the rest you'll have to be french or italian and buy the volumes. I know EPISODE is up on exhentai.
I got all of them in french and I can vouch for all these. Too bad Epic stopped with the third tome so we're left with a cliffhanger.
Every quest is canonically only completed once
Pretty common headcanon and I agree with it.
Here are my two schizo theories:
A) The Monster Hunter world/planet is so large in scope that all of the world-ending elder dragons we come into contact with are actually relatively common animals that regularly live their full lives to fruition without coming into contact with humans. This is also why new monsters are discovered every game, there's just so much space to cover.
B) Most MH wyverns are descended from a common ancestor that could detach its tail if in danger, which is why many tailcuts are so visibly clean and bloodless. This is also why fanged beasts have no tail cuts, only tail breaks. Credit goes to another anon for this one, I really liked it.
Can't blame you on the first theory, since at this point we have not only Frontier but also World showing off entirely new lands that no one has settled in up until very recently
The first artbook mentions something like that
Is that a baby ass Hemitaur? What the frick is that lobster looking mother fricker?
There's lots of weird unused monster concepts
>Bladr Dragon is just one of those frickers from DMCV
Based, I'd love to see something like that in a future monhun game
>fanged beasts have no tail cuts
Zinogre??
Here's my theory, not very original or anything, elder dragons are aliens or are from viruses or both. Between the frenzy virus(literally) and xeno's crystal birth, there's a lot in common with viruses. I doubt they'd ever downright admit it in the games, but I bet it's in the developer's confidential notes on the setting.
Anon, Zinogre is a fanged wyvern. Him and mangamalo are wyverns. Odog is too, same class as Dodogama and Girros. That being said, obviously there are some tailcuts that are less natural, like Magna or Malzeno.
And yeah, clearly dragon element can do some wild shit, bloodblight and the qurio seems like a cousin to the frenzy.
Oh, I read that wrong. Not that I don't get it confused on a daily basis and have to refer to this chart anyway.
To become a licensed Hunter, you have to go through some kind of exam with different trials that test your mental, your strength, your improvisation skill and your general knowledge. The exam happens once every year and you have hundreds of young candidates coming from all over the continent but only a few dozens will receive the title of hunter.
World is big and hard to explore. Villages are few and far between due to monster attacks and we know for a fact that large human settlements get attacked by monsters, including elder dragons. This means there is a lot of wild territory that monsters can hide in like the Pickle and elder dragons so they are rare. I would say they are probably rare as a rule outside Kirin maybe considering that Rajang likes to eat their horns.
As for the past? All we have is a few scraps of info and thats good enough.
Most of the "monsters" we hunt are descendant of relics of the Permian/triassic extinction that happened here on Earth. There are portals periodically appearing that allow creatures to travel between Earth and the MH world. It's the reason why humans and other animals are pretty much just like the ones in real life. They recently got to the MH world, so they barely changed.
The latter has physical and supernatural properties that accelerate and enhance the evolution process. That's how you get extreme abilities and bodyplans, supernatural powers and everything in between. it's also why the hunters are incredible of such big feats of strength.
>Everyone pissing and moaning over Rise, World, and GenUlt
I'll still be a Gengay but come on guys, what are you, a bunch of fricking sonicgays?
I was playing world with randos last night and having a fricking blast so I honestly don't give a shit.
I want my desert setting MH.
They had some crazy ideas for MH at the beginning.
I'm a little sad the mock wyvern never came into being, but it probably got recycled into astalos
>Mantis monster
At least we got to see that with Ahtal Ka, but man I fricking wish we got more cool ass insectoid monsters.
Rhatal was a good step in that direction but I need more God dammit
The OG monhun concept arts still had that old western fantasy element that made them so whimsical, Kirin is also one of the most unique monsters they ever pulled and it's quite a shame that something like that was never pulled again, Banbaro should have just been some kind of giant Antekadrome.
To this day I still don't understand the jump from 3 to 4, underwater combat was clunky so you instead add a bunch of ledges that lock you into a jump down animation and keep the climbing just as slow except now you can spam roll to move 1.2x while wasting all your stamina and think you improved movement? Mounting was and still is also a shit minigame that is so unengaging that it makes no sense to be in a game as grindy as monhun, from Tri onward Monster Hunter games feel like they take 2 steps forward and 3 steps backward and I hate it.

I only played MH on the PSP way back then, is World good?
Hypnocatrice when?
Why do they hate my boy?
Can someone explain the appeal of monster hunter to me? I've only played tri and world but from what I have played, the games super repetitive. It kind of boggles my mind how my buddy has about 2000 hours in world when you do the exact same thing throughout the game
Deserted Island was peak SOUL

NPC hunters would probably cart less in my behemoth hunts.
