Brilliant game. I picked it up not long after launch and loved every minute of it. It's such a charming title.

Dean just got Monster Hunter worlds and that kinda kicked us in the mood for some hunts. Sadly I'm working tomorrow and Sunday evening. So I won't be home till like midnight-ish. Would love to get some hunts in with you guys soon though! Gotta get some bling armour ready for ultimate @RedShell @S.C.G Does this new feature where you can alter the appearance of your hunter’s outfit without changing the stats work for Prowlers too? 16 hours ago, Hero-of-Time said: Brilliant game.

And real-time battles + cats, so very much my kind of RPG. 1

Yes, apparently it works in the Japanese version so it should be fine here. Worth noting that for some silly reason, not all of the gear gotten from DLC quests can be used with this. Also worth noting that it's an unlockable feature, you have to get to G-Rank first and then do some other stuff I'm not entirely sure of. 2
Glen-i Posted August 15, 2018 Author Posted August 15, 2018 Fair warning to anyone who's on the fence about jumping into Monster Hunter with this game. If this demo is anything like the Japanese one, it's not gonna explain anything. So don't go expecting tutorials.

I'm only downloading the demo so that I can kill some extra Astalos, so we're all good.
Sméagol Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 I'll check it out in the weekend. Is it multiplayer? If it is, could be fun to try out together some time, though there's also the Splatfest.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Looks like the demo has been changed from the Japanese one because now it has online multiplayer. You can create or join a room. Some N-E hunts can be had in this demo after all. Edited August 16, 2018 by Hero-of-Time 2 1

Afraid there's no Astalos in this one. Just Great Maccao, my mortal nemesis, Barioth and a new monster that looks a bit like a Jet. Online multiplayer is a pleasant surprise though. Let's hope you can join a room via it's ID so we can get some N-E hunts going. If anyone wants some back up, just give me a shout. Just, not during Mario Kart or Splatoon tonight. 1
Dcubed Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Had a very quick go, it’s basically the same as the Japanese demo (including the ugly pixilated HUD sadly), with added online multi and some extra arrows added for dumb dumbs who can’t find the monster they’re after. Looks like butt, plays great! Will be up for playing online alongside Glen-i later on today! Edited August 16, 2018 by Dcubed
Glen-i Posted August 16, 2018 Author Posted August 16, 2018 Just tried the new hunter styles with @Ugh first aid They're really neat! Alchemy Style is great for support while Valor style is all about that risk and reward. The reward being ridiculous acrobatic feats. That said, being a SnS fan, I prefer the utility of Adept style's dodge-Aerial attack combo, so I'll be sticking with that. We're gonna fight the later 2 monsters with @Dcubed in a bit.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 I'm on downloading it now. Gonna be interesting to see how I adjust as I'm sitting here playing World at the moment and then gonna jump straight into the demo.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 Tried the new beastie twice and both times the randomers died within a few mins. This is gonna be fun....

I just got World myself (when it came out on Steam a week or so ago) and I had no trouble adjusting really. If anything, the simpler and more recognisable environments were refreshing!

For example, when firing a flash I was hitting the ZR which then brought up chat. 1

Are you honestly surprised random people who have probably not played this before are owned by a high level monster?

Hero-of-Time Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 A bit of fancy backstepping going on here. This is how you evade his super move and why you keep Absolute Evasion handy. 2 1
Dcubed Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) I missed Monster Hunter! So good to finally have it on Switch! Edited August 16, 2018 by Dcubed 1
Sméagol Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 Wouldn't mind played the demo before or after Splatoon and getting myself killed online!
