Monster Hunter anyone?

So out of curiosity is anyone else looking forward to Monster Hunter Generations? I know when I first heard about it I really didn't like the concept of Hunter Styles. Now that I've watched some videos explaining them and their differences, and how they interact with Hunter Arts, I'm really excited to get my hands on the demo.

Only with the enthusiasm of a thousand Raging Brachydioses. Brachydii?

I'm so pumped for the hunter styles, man. Especially the aerial style. Soaring through the air with the dual blades was already fun back in 4. Being able to do it on command is gonna be a dream.

Very, very much. Been swinging a long sword since Freedom Unite, and I don't plan on stopping now. Though I may play some charge blade too... we'll see.

The styles look great. I want to try out aerial for sure.... but something about bushido seems like the right call for a long sword main.

I know this may be a bit late, but, Strider Hiryu is going to be in the game! That has me pumped.

I'm pretty hyped to fight Astalos.

Though honestly I pretty much exclusively use the glaive and didn't care for how the other styles handled with it so guild all the way. [demo is up here already...waiting for the states to get it so we can dick around hunting narga with people.]

Super hyped, though I've heard the Charge Blade works differently in Generations than it does in 4U, so I'll have to relearn how to use it. That, or I could go back to the ol' Sword and Shield.

Offhand, the sword mode finisher lost it's shockwave, I don't remember anything else. Most of the weapons are probably roughly the same provided you're using the guild style though.

Though SnS got added blade coatings for various effects and the gunlance got a pretty cool overhaul.

Basically, the nerfed the Axe mode's finisher attacks. They can't be triggered from a guard, and the "Super" Finisher (when you have the Axe glowing red) was nerfed so the number of explosions it triggered was determined on how many phials you had. With the base 5 it was only as powerful as the regular finisher, but if you use the Hunter Art that gives you 10 phials it's twice as powerful.

Oh...the hunter arts have levels or something then? I know the one in the demo only gave a total of 7.

...I wanna see how ridiculous that energy blade is with a charge of 10.

Yup. The Generic Hunter Arts seem to only have one level, but the weapon specific ones have three.

I wonder if they de-nerfed lance, especially Guard Up.

Got my hands on the demo. And yes, it's everything I was hoping for.

I'm honestly a little bummed out the game isn't going to have G Rank. Capcom, I know this is how you do things, but you think by now you'd realize that everyone loves the challenge of G Rank.

From what it sounds like, we may have to organize some 'Hub Hunts sometime. We've still got a few weeks before the game drops, but I figured I'd just throw the idea out now and see if anyone would be down.

I'd be up for that. UK time zone might make things a little awkward though.

[Also apologies in advance, not at my best in terms of hunting capacity due to my L button only half working, not very good with manual camera control.]

Just played the demo, and oh my god it's almost too fun. I hate how the styles removes the bread and butter of some of the weapons though, like SA's discharge and DB's demon dance, and they're the only two weapons I can reasonably use.
Adept style is fucking fun though, even though I'm sure I'll never be good at it.
