Topic: Monster Hunter Generations (Our Toothy Lord and Savior)

Sentinels are defined by their lack of emotion and single-minded instinct, being mutant-genocide robots if memory serves. Nemesis is pretty much the same, just not a robot.

Another issue with a playable hunter is how to handle weapon selection. Sure, it's possible you could just have them switch mid-fight... but unlike characters like Dante or Amaterasu, hunters aren't supposed to be one-man armies like that. It just doesn't represent the series very well (and besides, weapons like Great Sword would probably be near useless in the frantic, high-octane action world of MvC. Only Sword & Shield or Dual Blades would stand a chance... and the latter just happens to be the weapon of choice of the Ace Commander).

I just think that Felynes have the best shot of being playable since they have personality and a near bottomless supply of tricks courtesy of Generations that can make for a fleshed-out moveset.

Hey, can anyone please join me for Arena quest? All have is the 3 you start with and is hoping that beating them unlocks more. If not, I just want to do the three.

@meleebrawler Hold up, are you guys talking about a Hunter being playable in the upcoming Marvel vs Capcom game!? They're making that a thing? 0_o

I'd imagine Rocket Raccoon (or any other Guardians of the Galaxy character) is likely what with the whole Infinity Stone mechanic. The former teamed up with a Felyne could lead to... shenanigans.

Well, Tsujimoto reportedly fought tooth-and-nail to keep the series from being represented in MVC3 (the argument being "you'd have to choose only one weapon type when there's so many; that wouldn't be a good way to represent the series).
That said, if there's going to be assist-exclusive characters like the rumors say, plop a Felyne in there prompto.

Giving Generations a small break and restarting 4U, mainly because I wanna go through 4U's story with these headphones. Anyways I'll let people know when I come back to this game, because I still wanna get a recording of an Amatsu and Alatreon fight. Because apparently I can't do it alone. (well, Amatsu I can, but it takes almost 40 minutes...)

@CrazedCavalier I also heard that infinite is doing away with dedicated assist attacks, instead doing full switches to continue combos instead?

@DarthNocturnal Yeah, but you didn't read what I said earlier... those games are NOT Monster Hunter. Games like Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami where you play as godly (sometimes literally) one-man-armies that can decimate anything thrown at them, and whose mechanics can also translate fairly well to fighting games as evidenced by the ''duels'' present in most of them. Monster Hunter is about fighting giant bosses, and only giant bosses, with weapons and styles centered around them (can you imagine EVER hitting someone 1v1 with a level 3 Great Sword Slash?), and most importantly, as a TEAM. One person can only do so much, but with a group, anything is possible. That's probably the single greatest thing that just can't be represented properly in a fighting game, even if it's 2v2 since people will still look at the individual with scrutiny. Won't even get into the nightmare of trying to juggle the various weapon's mechanics if switching was possible...

I downloaded the Demo version of Monster Hunter Generations on the eshop and was surprised how bad the graphics are. It looks like a PSP game. Wait, scratch that, I think the PSP monster hunter games have even better graphics. I don't know if it's due to my 3DS having dual TN displays or if that's just how the game really looks. If it's the latter, a lot of people aren't really going to be impressed by it and they'll hold off buying the full game.

....Don't tell me you're going to bring those complaints to this thread now. -.-
The 3DS games look perfectly fine, Unite's graphics are crap compared to the 3DS's.

I've not noticed any issues with graphics on MHGen, though I've not checked what screen type my 3DS has, and I've played a lot of 3DS games so I'm used to the lower resolution.

However, MHGen is a game that could look absolutely gorgeous in wonderful HD, but I'm doubtful of a Switch version of the Generations series of happening. Maybe it'll get MH5 instead.

@link-the-volnutt
...This? Seriously?
The 3DS titles are a major step up over Unite. Unite's textures and shading are extremely flat and dull looking. Everything was remodeled in 3rd or 4th gen and looks all the better for it.
And are you really complaining about handheld graphics? I simply have to take it that you're either trolling or barely play on handhelds for this to be such an issue for you.

Also, X/Generations outsold Freedom Unite within Japan and has sold close to a million in the west-- while with FU Capcom explicitly said sales "struggled" and refrained from releasing any solid numbers.
TL;DR It's still a blockbuster in Japan that has now carved itself a place beyond niche in the West.

....So anyone still playing this? Was thinking of hunting Amatsu/Ala with a friend for a video. o.o
EDIT: Not right now, though...but later tonight maybe.

I'm still playing this occasionally. I'll probably be asleep during your tonight, so I probably can't help.

Bleh... :c

Stupid timezones...guess I'll give it another day when no one is around to bug me. (and Sanya just woke up, so I can't do it now, since she might screw stuff up, lol)

New DLC up. Hyper Jho and Jang, and just to spite @Joeynator3000, super Amatsu and Where Gods Fear To Tread.

I've also completed the Redhelm set, so I am now ready for G-Rank and Brave style.

I even went and used that "new game plus" feature. You basically keep all usable common combining supplies, mostly eliminating the need to forage for them (you'll still need to mine, though), and have more than enough money to get whatever you want in low rank. Very convenient for jumping into gunning without running into a financial roadblock.

....Well maybe 4 of us can go up against one of those events, then...not sure when exactly, though. Going back and forth between Pokemon Moon and, ironically, MH4U.

That moment when you realize even wild Felynes have a rare gem item to collect from...

...Well, seeing how I can't find anyone to play this with and that I'm just not playing this game much...I decided that very soon I'm trading this game in. So, yeah...at least I experienced Amatsu.

I SUMMON THEE @FattyWhale_42 !?!?!

@OutCold Sorry, your summons got lost on its way to me. xD I'll start watching this topic again.
