Outside of the complete murder of a kirin, what did i just watch?


Equinox-XVI

Frontier being Frontier

CAPCOM! GIVE US THE HEAT BEAM HBG FROM FRONTIER AND MY MONEY IS YOURS! (Wild Hearts had this too but the game got killed)


Glad_Grand_7408

*"Wild Hearts... now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time..."*


PerspectivePale8216

What about... God Eater? Have you heard that one recently?


Dralakbadusk

yes during last weeks when announced we should expect more Tales of Games to come, you could hear something from inside Alleys, they said: "wheres god eater 4 bandai~? spooky


PerspectivePale8216

It's been how long since the third game came out? At this point I doubt making another God Eater is high on their priority list...


Dralakbadusk

it was December 2018 soo like uuh nearly 5 years holy shit well its still possible one day well get 4, or a burst version of 3 ![gif](giphy|3oFzmrQxkt9XfGCHTO)


PerspectivePale8216

Possibly but that's like holding out hope that Skylanders will get a new game soon...

Iceborne and Sunbreak are actually the 3rd and 4th monster hunting games I've played. I originally played Dauntless when it went f2p and a couple years later I bought Wild Hearts when it launched.


Baonguyen93

I played Dauntless until it move to Epic. It was really fun, with great community. Come back because I got nostalgia and it is so grindy, I quit quickly after a few hunt.


Vegetable_Ad_1315

Wild Hearts killed themselves.


Quealified

They probably have obscurity, rush, or reflect which can boost GS attacks when guarding. It can happen on all blademaster weapons but I think for GS it takes less to proc the skill, it boosts attk power and MV

atom_atamos

good bot


Arcuran

Wait, is this even a haiku? First line: When you keep doubling - 6 syllables? Dou-bl-ing unless it's counting it as "Dou-Bling",


Josh_bread

The bot does say that it's only sometimes successful


Arcuran

I am unreasonably annoyed at this bots lies!


Tsunamori

Dou-bling is the correct split of syllables. “Bl” can’t be a syllable by itself because there’s no vowels in it.


JCMfwoggie

Syllables don't need to have vowels, just the sound of one. Using the example they gave, Rhythm has 0/1 vowels but is 2 syllables, "Rhyth" and "Um"


Smiley_J_

Y is sometimes considered a vowel.


JCMfwoggie

That's why I said 0/1. Either way, it has more syllables than it has vowels.


Arcuran

Not true, it makes the sound "Ble" like "Dou-Ble" otherwise words like Rhythm would have 0 syllables


JCMfwoggie

Doubling is sesquisyllabic, meaning it has a minor syllable, making it kinda 2 and a half syllables. Depending on your pronunciation it's either going to sound like it has 2 syllables or 3, but it technically only has 2. Words like flour and miles are the same. The structure of a Haiku doesn't translate super well into most languages outside of Japanese since Japanese is spelled in syllables and doesn't have minor syllables.

Aw cmon just let it have this one.. poor thing

Change “I will” into “I’ll” and you’ve got yourself a masterpiece, friend

Yes, I caught it! Thank you

When there's a haiku, I'll always appreciate, the effort put in

it's not even responding to your comment, why are you the one trying to delete it?


MyHummingbirdZoe

Cause it's annoying and stupid

Then block the bot so you don't see it and let other people enjoy what they enjoy


MyHummingbirdZoe

I can do that?

Yup yup, just block them and you won't see their stuff and they won't see yours


MyHummingbirdZoe

Huh thanks!


ArkhamTheImperialist

Is your username intentionally an anagram for Haiku? That’s a hilarious coincidence if not.

RedHorn3XSpd

never played Frontier. Does the damage multiply everytime they parries or something?


Dralakbadusk

i don't entirely understand how the GS Counter calculations work but thats pretty much it


spookyfrogs

holy shit that's so cool honestly, and i love the teamwork needed to pull it off!


Same_Discussion6328

I'd like to see them one shot a raid monster.


Picklejho13

In a sense yes, but it requires a certain skill which takes a certain amount of procs to activate and greatsword being the slowest weapon I believe it only takes one parry to proc


JackOffAllTraders

nah, they're just doing it for fun


IlyichValken

GS mains want one thing, and it's disgusting.


Arobynofliurnia

Those big Unga Bunga dmg numbers


Xcyronus

The only time that being able to hit other people is a benefit. Can parry with swaxe too.


Fit_Percentage_2640

This is the type of silly I live for


spookyfrogs

i saw some guys doing this in a locker room once


InkBendyBeastBendy11

I want to play frontier so badly


DBNSZerhyn

I thought the same, then I did try it. It started fairly normal, then about halfway through stopped being monster hunter and started being a "1-hit KO" simulator, where if you fucked up once your entire run was borked, catering to only the absolute top-end players that were spending money to stay ahead of a curve that was balanced only for them. There are very good reasons why it never came to the west. Edit: Chucklefuck McGee down below wanted to be rude, so I guess this requires a caveat: Monster Hunter does, in fact, have one-shot mechanics. On moves that are designed to be interrupted, either with tools or the environment of the fight. Dragonators, set pieces, break mechanics. Stuff you are supposed to play around. Pre-Frontier Z went beyond G-Rank(Master) difficulty. Frontier Z and beyond began pumping monster damage so high that **every attack in a monster's kit will one-shot you** unless you already dramatically outgear that particular monster. Each new challenge you rise up to, you dodge everything or you die. I mean **everything**. Everything, without exception, will kill you in one hit or, failing that, has been explicitly designed to wombo combo you if it hasn't. That is not standard Monster Hunter.


SMegasM

Is that true now with the fan servers aswell?


DBNSZerhyn

I'm not sure. If they're faithful to the content, it would be, but they might have accelerated or given access to the premium systems to make it a less painful experience. Also depends on what stage of the content they're focused on. If it's Pre-Frontier Z, stuff hasn't gotten super crazy yet. If you're curious, there's tons of videos up on youtube from the original game. Some of the weapon styles and types are so ridiculous, they have very little in common with OG MH.


Darkextrid

It varies a lot, but the short answer is that most servers are easier than the og game, why? Mainly because it either makes the grind faster (somewhat closer to mainline games) or you can grind to get armor pieces that where locked behind paywalls in the og game. I can only speak for Rain sv here but, there the game will be mostly one shot galore after a certain point (around hr5) the only thing that can help you not get one shot (aside from survival skills like guts) is halk pot (a consumable that reduces by 70% the damage you receive) and while rain gives you some while doing the progression, they can't be used on all quests and they are limited up until the endgame where you can buy more after doing road but, if you are doing road already it is expected of you to know how to fight most monsters since road is a "survival" game mode where you get more points the farther you go, you can't use halk there and the points you get are mainly used for building a "true endgame set" to fight against musous which are the hardest fights the game has. At the end of the day frontier is an extremely hard game that expects of you memorization, perfect execution and a lot of patience. it's super punishing and honestly really disheartening when you get one tapped by a new monster that you never fought before, fail the quest and then you have to wait around 1 to 2 minutes just to re enter the quest and fail it again in the first 3 minutes, and you have to do that again and again and again until you succeed. Having said that, frontier has honestly the best concepts and fights in all of monster hunter, taikun, the frontier version of nargacuga and blinking nargacuga, zerureusu, ??? (black rathian), toridcless amongst others are such cool monsters and extremely fun fights when you know what to do, but to get to that point is honestly a long and hard road. Frontier is not for everyone but I urge to anyone reading this to atleast give the game a try, it's free and if you have a pc chances are that the game runs just fine.


Yeet-chan

No not at all, there are definitely heavy hitters but if you actually pay attention to making sure your armor is decent and decos then no you’ll be fine. There are some bullshit moments and there are one shot attacks, but getting hit by a rando attack from like a supremacy monster (really strong monsters pre-g rank) with an adequate set you’ll just lose a chunk or 2


InanimateDream

Holy shit, finally someone who actually speaks how Frontier is truly like The end game is absolutely horrendous, Zenith monsters all have **at least** 1 move that instantly murders you ignoring your armor rating (more likely 2+ attacks), you are literally expected to play like you are a speedrunner and evade all attacks and/or simply lock down the monster and punch it until it dies as it gets chainstunned It's super lame and honestly NOTHING like mainline monster hunter - this is a game explicitly balanced around MMO mechanics where you are expected to have someone in the party heal you when you get caught in an OHKO attack while in the air, and everyone is expected to have evade+2 as a baseline so the attacks are hitting half the map and your only solution is "just dodge it bro" In mainline monster hunter my preferred method of playing is utilizing proper positioning and by approaching and attacking the monster using said positioning it is relatively easy to ensure I never get punished. This method of playing is completely impossible in Frontier thanks to attacks having stupidly big AoEs and everything being a oneshot, more or less ignoring any and all defensive skills your armor has. There is a reason the Magnet Spike was released and is essentially a more powerful ranged GS with the ability to also fly away half the map at will from the monster: when attacks hit half the map and you can clear said distance in under a second, you will never get punished at all. It seemed to be made with the complain from players that Zenith monsters were stupidly hard to keep up with, and its no surprise it trivializes a **lot** of attacks. The only saving grace of the game for me was experiencing Tonfa gameplay, but beyond that, the game itself is absolutely **not** the MH paradise that people seemed to have hyped it up to be


Rajang82

>Zenith monsters all have **at least** 1 move that instantly murders you ignoring your armor rating Zenith Khezu with it's vore attack come to mind.


canned_fries

The First gift of G Rank is an Armour Set and decos to gives you true Guts. However I play with a friend. There are some mechanics which you probably can't really survive outside of multiplayer. There are increasingly more monsters that have attacks that are true one shots you can't survive without someone healing you in a downfalling animation even with guts. I can't Imagine to play the game solo but i do like the difficulty because i like learning the monsters. Also especially zenits and exotics are absolutely batshit crazy, i love it.


TheIronSven

It's actually not that bad. Only the extreme individuals, endgame monsters and higher tiered Zeniths will one shot you with more than a couple attacks. Everything else is fine. The shock at HR5 is due to that being the first endgame and HR6 being the last pre-grank endgame. Once you hit G-Rank and get your starter G-Rank gear it gets much easier again with the exception of the endgame monsters. Everything prior to HR5 also suffered severe compression. They compiled around 100 HR into just 4.


JackOffAllTraders

hr5 is actually fine if you actually upgrade your armor. It's just that before hr5, you don't upgrade armor due to the damage being low so you are not used to upgrading armor.


LovecraftianHentai

I think the beginning of frontier is enjoyable. Definitely scratches my Gen 2 nostalgia. But yeah once the 1 hit KO stuff started happening I put it down and went along my way. I still hope they bring over some of the frontier monsters to mainline.


JackOffAllTraders

me when i don't upgrade armor


RegalKillager

> then about halfway through stopped being monster hunter and started being a "1-hit KO" simulator, where if you fucked up once your entire run was borked, catering to only the absolute top-end players just how much monster hunter do you play? you've absolutely lost the plot if your conclusion is that getting one-shot is a sign that a game is no longer monster hunter


Van_doodles

I don't think you're picking up what he's putting down. Every attack in Frontier past the sensible stuff will instantly kill you, not giant breath attacks or stuff you're supposed to deal with by mechanics. Non-mechanical, regular monster attacks will one-shot you. Claw move? Dead. Tail swipe? Dead. Grab? Dead. Charge? Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead.


JackOffAllTraders

which attack?


DBNSZerhyn

I have over 10,000 hours in the monster hunter series.


RegalKillager

lost plot it is then, idk man you do you


DBNSZerhyn

No, you don't understand. 1-shot attacks are a thing in monster hunter, as a result of set pieces or big attacks that have ways to deal with them. When I say Frontier Z and beyond is a 1-hit KO simulator, I mean **getting nudged by a light attack** in a monster's kit will lay you out. But go on, be rude.


Rajang82

You dont get it. Its not a big attack with long windup like Deviljho's breath or Gold Rathian grenade fireball. What he's talking about is that ***EVERY ATTACK*** will kill you in one hit. Tail swipe, bites. Heck, damage from monsters feet/arm from its turning round can kill you easily.


manmanftw

Its easy to set up nowadays, just look up the rain servers or other private servers and they can help you set it up. You can also play on mobile and psp i believe.


NicotineCatLitter

that poor Kirin 😭


Dralakbadusk

theres another clip of Two GS mains playing Tenis ball with a Velocidrome its hilarious

GS particle accelerator.


Asterion_Morgrim

This is the funniest way I've seen a squad kill a monster. Thank you


Secure-Coast404

One For All...!


SummerBoy420

As a former GS main, I can confirm. 😎👍


MyHummingbirdZoe

Excuse me former???


SummerBoy420

Yup 😁 I still play GS, but took a break from it to try out other new weapons.


Aggravating_Lunch_26

They better bring this shit into wilds. Soo I can see team dark side try even crazier shit to pull off the most damaging move


iTAYLOR531

Yes, as a GS main since 3U, I live for this


Rajang82

Peak Frontier greatsword play. Baton Pass-ing attacks to other greatsword.


Amethyst0Rose

I want to play frontier so bad. ☹️


Wattefugg

on PC you can (other comments have more detail)


Dralakbadusk

adding to that, you can also play on ps3 and psvita no progress so far on making it playable again on ps4 tho


Educational_Block222

I need this now somebody PLEASE get capcom to make frontier 2 or something it’s a crime I missed out on this


Xcyronus

You can still play it. pewpewdojo discord or mhf subreddit will have all the info you need


burningcoffee57

You can play it now, check r/mhf there's guides to get it set up through fan servers :) But also yes. Capcom seriously needs to give us another Fronter (or just bring back the servers 😭)


MaguroSashimi8864

Wait wait wait, what is going on here? I never used GS


Memoglr

Greatsword with reflection, obscurity and rush. Each counter in a chain doubles the damage basically


P_fagens

What monster hunter game is this one?


SoilStunning8990

Frontier


Not_Popdat

I'm representing the survivors of this Kirin in court to ban this sick method and put GS mains behind bars.

Was this the inspiration for strong-arm?
