I haven't been this excited for a video game since the first one was released. I played all the PSP versions and WII. I hope to see if there is any of the same monster/dragons in this one.
We know the Ratian and Rathalos for sure. I'm hoping for the Gravios which is my favorite. I would like the Kut Ku also - doing speed runs with my friend was the best.
I think the enviroment mechanic if going to be interesting... not sure if I'll enjoy it per-se as I like using the great sword.
The gathering from what I can tell seems like a huge improvement.

Do you know anything about the Tracer Flies in the trailer/gameplay video?

What are you looking forward to?

Got any news about the game?

I won't buy this game unless it has Yian Garuga in it.
Fighting Yian Garugas is the only time I feel truly alive...

I'm on a podcast about (video) game design:

The red head step child of monster hunter, lol. I had to google it, It wasn't one that stuck out to me. But I remember fighting it for the first time on my friends couch, we both looked at eachother and laughed at the ku koo / ratian mish-mash.

I have been soloing monster hunter since freedom.

I mostly bow hunt tho, the frenzy monsters hp boost, hunt a thon in generations make it damn hard to clear all 5 in a 50 minutes.

I am actually looking forward to monster hunter stories.

Also best monsters are akantor, ukanlos, barioth. The rest are fillers lol.

I hadn't heard of Stories, Looks interesting, might have to steal the wifes 3DS at some point.

The online multiplayer is what I think will make this way better, I have not played any 3DS versions but from all the different E3 gameplay I've seen, the hype has gotten overwhelming.

With the releases of the many, many videos. I'm more hyped than before! The new stuff that is added, plus the stuff I missed from 3DS I'm interested in trying out.

What's everyone weapon of choice?
Mine is the Great Sword, with the new shoulder charge it looks stronger than before, like having a hammer attack.

I want to try the Switch Axe and the Charge Blade also.

I really look forward to this.
Hoped for a console version since they switched from PS2 to PSP.
Still awesome games though & my best buddy and i played all the parts easy into the 4 digits all together.

Now on PS4 in awesome graphic - jesus.

Hope the monsters get some new moves to make it harder for the veterans.
Already saw the rathalos, but i hope to see this bad guys as well: Tigrex, Akantor, Ukanlos and Monoblos.

What's everyone weapon of choice?

Longsword solo & bow in Koop it is for me.
Great sword is also nice but i kept smashing by buddy into the air all the time. Fun for me but he was kinda pissed at some point.

I don't think they'll introduce many new moves for the older monsters, but hopefully they'll touch some of them up (rathalos world tour/lightspeed poison claws) and fix the hitboxes (any hipcheck, especially plesioth's).

All the weapons look good though, especially the gunlance now that it looks to have had the heat gauge removed, and bowguns with evener more mobility than before.

Diabalos is confirmed, which was more a pain then the monoblos IMO.

The Rathalos has a whole new look, hes not as red and his wings looked transparent, plus the markings on the wings. He also looked smaller to me. The armor in the videos doesn't look as light as the actual Rathalos, just re-rendered armor from earlier, which still looks good to me.

My friend and I are getting it on XB one... I'm not happy about it either, but in order to play with eachother I'll put my PS Fanboyism on the shelf.
Him and I also agreed we are both using Great Sword and will steal eachothers glory in killing monsters with the knock up (plus there is mounting on the monster now so it might be a plus)

As far as the new moves go, there a couple new ones, at least to me, that I saw for the Rathalos.

Xbox because one of you already has it?
Assumed it would be multiplayer for all or did i miss something?

Really hope they bring a lobby like with adhoc party on ps3 which Made farming in psp really cool and easy.

If the game is good I'll get it for PS4 and PC. I am so excited. Been playing since original and I feel like it's coming home. That and the nintendo MH fans were beginning to get insufferably stuck up so good thing that's over.

LOL that made me laugh pretty good.

My friend has an XBone, I think I'm saving him the cost of a new TV, PS4, Better internet, and PS4 Premium. Instead He just has to get the game and get better internet.

Im pretty sure its multiplayer for all console, I'm just settling.


Multiplayer looks like its just an open server so people just jump into and out of your game. They said in a video that its not going to be country specific either so the Die Hard Japanese MH players will be joining the US and so on. I dont see it happening though with server capability.

When I played it on PS3 my family still had dial up lol so I hadnt experienced multiplayer unit PSP, which was touch and go with WIFI gaming. I had 4 extra copies and an extra PSP and a copy of my save so we would try and get other friend and our girl friend to join us. Him and I never did kill the Fatalis together, he Soloed it a couple years after I left for the Navy.

Yeah makes sense.

That Fatalis was a pain in the ass.
Did it solo as well but going in as gunner made too less damage for farming and with going for CC it was impossible to get the eye.
Which was all i needed to get the final armours / weapons for "100%" - and it required a handfull of them.
Needed also about 20+ of the G quest elder dragon ruby in the end and it took me like forever.

I`m really curious how much time you`ll need to finish all the quests and get a good load of gear.^^

Probably the same amount of time as all the others, 30 ish hours of grinding to get up there.

Maybe more, my memory is fuzzy, I remember fighting and killing the Rathalos with only bone armor with Iron Greatsword and an inventory full of mega potions and traps.

Wonder if people are going to be matched together with the same gear level. I wouldn't mind being carried for a little bit in order to grind some harder monsters.

I would love some kind of lobby or at least the quest boards so you can just choose which quest to take.
They better give us the option to play with friends online.^^

30h for all the quests? Not even with the ps2 one i was close to that.

I heard in a video that you can join other players like your friends at any time, or you get a message if someone shoots a flare on the same mission (I think).

For the 30 hours Im not including grinding to get that one last piece of armor you need. That could take a whole day in its self with random item generator

So, I was just looking into this one... looks pretty cool. Getting released on the 29th.

But what is it? Do you just wander around like Skyrim looking for monsters to kill? Or is it like a MMO like WOW where you play with other people? Or more along the lines of Destiny or the Division?

I'm a bit miffed it's not coming out on anything I own until later. Seriously considering getting a console just to play World sooner, which is something only Monster Hunter could make me do.

I usually main a different weapon in each game. MH3U I played Switch Axe, MH4U Insect Glaive and MHGen Bow. I don't know yet what I'll main in World.

So monster hunter is more like Dark Souls with people you play with, so you get your gear ready - traps, bombs, food, potions and go and fight monsters wyverns aka dragons. You kill the monsters get crafting items and make better gear. So no levels like in Destiny or any other game, your gear and what you've hunted make you better than others. Every monster hunt is like a strike with a raid boss at the end, some will be super challenging (4+ hours) and lower levels will be easier (10+ Min).

You can play solo or up to 3 companions, when playing solo you get a cat that helps you out like convincing other monster to help you and they have armor and items to help in combat.

There is hunts where you dont have any armor and you fight baby dragons less damage dealt but you take more because you have no armor.

Check out Arekks on youtube for actual gameplay. If you have a PS4 the Beta is live right now (1/19/2018) for this weekend.

I've been a die hard fan since the first one and I played the 1st beta and I was great! They fixed some grinding aspects to it and made it run way smoother.

For the weapon you could stick with the classics and use the Great Sword or Hammer. I played the beta with the Great Sword and it was a blast, but its been my go to. The hammer looks super fun its the developers favorite weapon and it has some new moves that make it look less clunky than the older games.

I'm looking forward to smashing Kirin's horn off again

I missed the beta.. would love to check it out before I bought it though. Seems like it would be fun. I dunno if I'd want to fight the same monster for 4 hours though.. or is it like a little quest with smaller minions you have to deal with first?

Can you have more than 1 character, or is it better to stick to just 1? My GF and I would probably both play, but we only have 1 xbox / account and I think she might prefer to play her own separate character.

There's a decent variety of monsters, it's definitely not gonna be one monster for hours unless you're farming it for certain drops.

And I'm not sure, but if it's like previous MH games, there are multiple character slots and unless you both have a solid grasp on MH it's important to play your own character and learn how weapons/monsters work in order to beat them.

so ive got it for PS4, you get 3 different character slots. Im really really enjoying the game. New to the franchise, hunting large monsters is a ton of fun but i seem to spend more of my time on "expeditions" which is basically open map free roam. The maps are so beautiful and the environments are awesome. It can be pretty intense to turn a random corner and running into a large monster only to have another random large monster appear and join the combat to fight the first monster. Tons of fun to be had

I've played through the main story and I'm just now starting on the G monster hunts.

A couple of issues with the game:
I bought it for Xbox and the multiplayer issues could've been fixed with a beta.
The town is HUGE and wish it was a little smaller.
Make the stories skipable or have people be able to join the quest even with the cutscene

Other than that the game is way better than I could've imagined. I keep coming back and havent gotten bored yet.

For the new comers, definitely push through the story and get to the harder mission, you get way better gear and its all worth it. Don't get stuck fighting low level monster it won't matter there is better resources after the threshold

I've tried some of the newer weapon like the switch ax and insect glaive. I've always gone back to my Great Sword, maybe its nostalgia.

Whats everyones favorite Monster so far?
Mine is the Pukie or the Radobaan

This Rendition is way easier than MH1, with auto aim when using the bowgun or slinger. Anyone else feel this one is easier in comparison?

First Monster Hunter Game here. Just finished the Anjanoth hunt quest myself. Trying to power thru to six star so I can get that Watcher armor for my Palco before that quest expires. I think my favorite monster so far is that Electric Flying Squirrel wyvern. For Weapons I’ve just been using the fairly basic sword and shield.

Agree with the beta thing, but the past is in the past I guess...

The town feels large, but everything has it's own place in it so it's not too hard to navigate when you break down where everything is.

The story thing with cutscenes is annoying but if you pre-prepare a group in your instance (Use Invites) they can directly join the quest mid-hunt once the cutscene has played either from the boards or the handler. Alternatively, go on the quest, watch cutscene, abandon quest, set up quest again and you don't have to watch the cutscene a second time.

If you're looking for someone to play with, I'm on Xbox too so feel free to drop me a message. GT is SykesDragon.

Alright Cool, Will hit you up, I've got 2 other friend I play with. A Bow player/ and a longsword player. I feel like when we play a 3 man hunt and losing the cats all together is rough, the Bow player is super new to monster hunter.

The Orodon the blood dog or whatever in the rotten vale has a cutscene at the end after the fight so you have to kill it alone.

I took me a second try to get it, I hadn't updated my armor in a while.

We normally play 8pm - 5am PST on Sundays - Tuesdays sometime Saturdays

Who is everyone's favorite and worst Monster they've fought so far?

Mine for my favorite is a tie for the Pukei and the Jyurados (disregard the spelling)

By far the biggest pain is Vaal Hazak - I killed him 3 times and still not enough to make a single piece of armor. I blow through my healing stock pile pretty quick too.

I'm not that far in yet, but I love almost all new monsters I've encountered so far. Tobi-Kadachi is probably my favourite though, he's quick and looks cool. If I had to name my least favourite it'd be Great Jagras, he basically doesn't even try to stop you from killing him. It's ok though, because he's just there to teach you the hunting basics.

I'm playing bow for the moment, but I'll definitely try out more weapons.

This is my 1st Monster Hunter and I am loving every minute of it. Reminds me of Dark Souls in that you battle great beast and has pretty solid controls.

I am in the 4th area atm and definitely think that the Diablos is probably my favorite Enemy in the game. It is fuqqing huge. Abjanth is a close 2nd but Diablos is at least twice as strong as an Abjanth.

Least favorite is probably the pink/white bat that you need to kill. Easily the hardest monster I faced with how fast it is and how it uses wind to push and pull you. Only faced it 2 times but have at least does 18 times facing them in total.

Still a newb and had a friend show me the basics and what not but still feel like their is a lot to dig up and get sunk into. I have amased 30+ hours so far and only have the game 5 days.
