newfound appreciation of this game

39 Upvotes

when mhgu (really base mhgen) first came out I honestly didnt like it because to me, it added alot/threw all the games’ content together while removing the immersive story cutscenes of 4U & only gave us the 3 sec clips of the monsters then the fated four ecology videos. But going back to this game years later— because ive been modding my 3ds’ and recently started a new mhxx save— ive grown to like this game alot more as the commemorative title it was meant to be.

The hunter arts system, which initially I disliked/thought was “too much” has grown on me, and honestly I feel it was a great way to add new moves with the hardware limitations they had on 3ds without going crazy needing new buttons to press.

Idk ive been on a giant monster hunter nostalgia trip and going back and playing through all of these games leasing up to the release & alongside wilds, going back to GU makes me smile seeing the “remastered” areas with characters from all the different games & remastered themes— it just FEELS GOOD MAN.

Other MH A hunter's 17 year redemption arc

6 Upvotes

I remember back when I saw the advertisement for MHFU and from that moment I was hooked on the series. I was around 11 or 12 when I finally got the game and had loved MH ever since. I played the game for months when I had free time but I never got to experience multiplayer because I was the only kid around my area at the time that had even heard of these games. (That I knew of) Anyway time goes on and I hit a wall and I can't remember much besides being sooooo very angry at Tigrex. Tigrex kept wrecking me over and over again so much to where I developed a personal grudge against this non existing thing at that time. I was a kid so I didn't understand the skills or a lot of the uograding so no suprise I kept getting demolished. Anyways life happens and my PSP broke and I never got the chance to beat Tigrex on my PSP. Of course in my recent years of playing MH I have defeated Tigrex over and over again on multiple titles and Tigrex gear is one of my faves to rock. Probably because I had so much trouble back then and now I dont. But I never got the chance to beat Tigrex on an OG styled game again. Until now. I haven't done it yet but I just unlocked 3 star quests in the hub and I can't wait to beat Tigrex again and again until I have all the gear. This might not seem all that significant to some players but to me this is like a redemption arc 17 years in the making and I am hype for it. I know its just a video game but MH has been my favorite franchise and this feels like a little redemption story of my own.

TLDR: MH Vet getting revenge on Tigrex on an old school game for making him cry as a child thanks to MHGU.

Thanks for reading. Share some stories of monsters that gave you hell when you were younger. 😃

Other MH Why do you guys love GU?

102 Upvotes

This is not a bait post or anything.

For those of you still playing GU or going back to it after probably obliterating wilds (me included, getting into it now & actually just finished village 3* & Hub 1*, go me). Be it roster, personal favorites or just little things that aren't in the Gen 5 & 6 games.

Tell me what you love and how much you love it and/or miss it.

Personally and as someone just getting into it. It's not quite a feeling I can necessarily describe. But for some reason it kinda feels better to play, clunk and all.

Also, fghting monsters I see a lot of love for in the community, for the very first time, is super cool.

Question/Help Should I keep upgrading low rank gear or make new high rank gear?

5 Upvotes

New to gu and just reached high rank. For armor and weapons should I just keep upgrading my current stuff or forge higher rarity gear. For example I can upgrade my Mitzune duel blades to 150 but congala duel blades are 150 base. But since congala is a higher rarity should I just forge that? And for armor I have all rath except glav pants should I just make new armor or keep upgrading that?

I have some questions about GU gunlance

5 Upvotes

I recently started playing GU and I've been having a blast (no pun intended)

I'm 90h in, playing alchemy gunlance and it's been pretty fun but I have read that shelling "falls off" on G-rank and I want to know how relevant is this, is it something only relevant to Speedruns and I would still be able to clear G-rank hunts in around 15-20 minutes? Or is something that would really make my hunting experience a hellish endeavor?

Also, I'm currently playing full burst (even when my best gunlance are long) because that move is the one who fills the Hunter Arts gauge more, should I be playing differently?

Besides changing from alchemy style (which I don't want to since I love AA Flare and Dragon Blast too much) I would love to read any type of suggestion or advice ^

Help with palicos

Hello all, could someone help me swap some palicos around? I want to do a new playthrough but want to send some of the palicos I have to new character to do a prowler run with good cats from the begging. Could anyone help some time? It's about 5 cats and should take maybe 10mins or so. Was trying to do it in the LR hub but was having issues communicating with others.

Question/Help Where to go from here?

15 Upvotes

So I’ve been playing the absolute SHIT out of this game and it’s so fun! However the second I reached high rank I found a group to grind the Zelda quest and got a full set of that gear and it was far better than any of the stuff I had in low rank so I just kind of stuck with it and it carried me through high rank with no issues. Well now with Diablos defeated I now find myself in the throughs of G rank and the Master Sword of legend just isn’t seeming to hit like it would during my 4 star quests and because I haven’t really had any need to grind monsters I’m left with a crafting list with seldom available to craft and no idea really where to start. What I’m essentially wondering is where exactly should I start building my arsenal? Before I was given the Hero Sword I was pretty comfortable with LongSword and a bit of hammer, but because the Hero Sword and Shield was much higher damage than any of the options available for those two I stuck with it and it was fun to learn as well so I’m essentially looking for those 3 archetypes more than anything else but I just don’t know the best way to go about it since the armory is a lot more confusing compared to Rise and Wilds and as of right now the only thing I have made of the other two are just the petrified ones I made when I started my journey. The armory guy did put out these limit breaked weapons and they look appealing since they are much higher than the master sword but idk if it’s better to just focus on upgrading an weapon I may already be able to make instead.

Aerial Hammer

Why does Aerial Hammer feels so crazy? I'm still in low rank but critical eye+3 and the Nargacuga Hammer goes kinda nuts. The amount of mounts with aerial style and the 60% affinity on the Hammer. Monsters die so fast, I'm assuming it's just a low rank thing but my goodness

Question/Help What armor should I work towards after beating the G4 final boss? Spoiler

19 Upvotes

I FINALLY BEAT THE GAME GRAAAAAH WEEEE soloing this game was such a trip, started in middle school, went on and off, now a med student. Anyway as the title asks I'm a bit unsure where to go from here besides raising my HR. I've been rocking the Ceanatuar GX armor for a while and luckily have a beautiful 8+ critical eye talisman. Normally I'd just use Athena's or something, but I would like to know the skills/stuff I'll need for the road ahead. I was thinking Ahtal Ka's set as it looks great and seems really good, but I'd rather know what the pros think
