I picked up monster hunter 4U the other day and I just can't have fun with it. The biggest issue is the total lack of a targeting system. It's not fun starting a combo and missing every hit because you were 5 degrees off.
It's that way so you can attack pieces of the monster easily without having to cycle through a monster's like 10 parts. Each piece of a monster takes more/less damage than another as well as more/less damage from elements or whatever. It also allows for hits to the head to be fully in your control for maximum stunnage with blunt attacks or hits to the tail with slicing weapons to chop it off for specific loot.
tl;dr: there is no targeting system so you can hit what you want once you learn the mechanics without camera/targeting hassle.
then you are missing out on the little nipple on the N3DS, moves the camera. I find camera is mostly to see the monster, circle pad is to finely control the way you strike.
there is a funnyjunk MH4U skype group i believe. i dont remember the name of it or the person who put it all together but i dont think they'll be hard to track down. just keep tabs on any MH4U posts
Do you know how powerful a Deviljho is?
Do you know how BIG a Deviljho is?
Let's put this in perspective. Haxorus is 1.8m (5'11"). That's about the size of a pretty normal person. Deviljho comes in at a size range of a whopping 18m to 41m, over 10x the size of a haxorus AT THE LEAST. And Deviljho is vicious. Its breath will make other dragon attacks look like tiny fireworks. And its tail? Forget knocking you out of battle, it'll smash a haxorus to pieces.
But hax is weak to dragon as well...
And had isn't what you might consider sturdy.
In addition, these humans are covered in monster scales and stuff and can't really take many blows from the thing. jho might starve somewhere during the battle tho'
Power per pound id say haxorus is easily the strongest. He has a full a varied move set, adequate armour as you can see standard elements are ineffective plus his pokedex entry states how he can cut through steel beams not jet fuel! . In short, goodbye ankles jho hello Draco meteor.
Supposedly, they can fell mountains in a single blow. Yet nothing in the games or the series or the manga shows this power, simply the PokeDex claims it.
It's hard to find feats like that in the games outside the pokedex (which I might add we have literally no reason to doubt). Unless you go to the manga, which has plenty of great feats, like Lance's dragonair blowing up a city in a single shot, or the regi trio containing the explosion of a bomb that would have wiped out the entire region they were in, . I guess in the games you have things like Yveltal powering a weapon that would wipe out all life on the continent they were on
MH has one of the best gaming communities I've ever seen. Worst thing possible is a random joining up to a hunt with an uncomplete set, or above his rank, but that's what the kick button is for, and there's no much fuss about it
