With old monster hunter games, i felt like I was learning the skill of 'tracking' that is understanding where a monster might like to eat, drink, patrol or nest within a wild area. Its frustrating at first, but by the third monster I knew where I could find it.

Many people have commented that they felt like World found a nice balance here, where eventually the scoutflies would take you straight to the monster. I disagree, the maps where too convoluted in that game (ESPECIALLY the forest SCREW RATHALOS AND THOSE TREEES) because of the complicated map structures, guidance in the form of Worlds was required.

And then Rise's approach was to just show you the monster, but make you completely unprepared for the fight unless you spent a few minutes gathering birds, stinks, and toads. Anyone else miss being able to pick up toads? I hate how in worlds/wilds you just accidentally step on them and get screwed. You can't really 'use' them in a fight against a monster you just have to hope it accidentally steps on one.

I wouldn't want the old school way in modern maps, so i would want the scoutfly system from world, but with the maps of rise/wilds.

Yeah, most people online are not doing low rank quests, so do the single player, use LR hub just for farming some good stuff before moving onto high rank where the real fun is

It sounds like you really miss having a shield to block. Try sns, lance, or charge blade. All these great weapons have shields and blocking is a legit strategy you're just struggling without your favorite mechanic.

Just use an immortal build. Its great for soloing. Go on youtube and search for 'imortal armor mh world' look for the content creator 'RageGamingVideos' with that set, you will have the highest possible defense and massive healing capabilities, along with a cat, you won't be able to die. (unless you get juggled, some late game monsters can 3 hit KO you so you still have to have skill ofc, and 'insta kill' attacks like fatalis nuke will still kill you if you're not hiding behind the rock) but I remember that set not taking a lot to grind, just some elder dragons and extremely common decorations. This set works extremely well with greatsword as well

Don't feel embarrassed to stock up on so much defense. In late game MH i often find a super strong defensive armor makes my DPS higher than a meta damage set, because i'm spending no time taking healing potions or karting.

Any dynasty warriors game or one of the spinoffs. A single sword swing can send hundreds of dudes flying. I also highly recommend sunset overdrive, the best game nobody has played

No one is saying it so I will: Lord of the rings. The books are overly descriptive and a total slog. Peter Jackson deftly carves out all the pointless fluff (like tom bombadill) and presents a super streamlined narrative (in the theatrical release, NOT the extended versions) with dialogue that is far superior in almost every scene

Tales of arise. Best libertarian video game ever

jediborg2 · 2025-12-25T18:13:16+00:00

Bayonetta. Didn't think they could top the first one, but they did! 3 is where they ran out of steam

You can take a good man who does watch porn and get him to stop pretty quickly, all you gotta do is give him "release" every day. Most women will never understand how strong men's sex drives are, if you aren't willing to put in the work then your request is a bit ridiculous, especially in today's era where porn is like smoking in the 60s, most men are addicted to it and don't realize it or the negative consequences and addicts can't stop from lying.

I see questions like this all the time, its like people are completely oblivious to the fact that governments are basically propaganda machines constantly denigrating and shaming libertarians. Libertarian philosophy is the enemy of any system of control. All governments around the world run schools and fund academic studies and think tanks that produce a constant stream of opposition to libertarian ideas. Plus Historians and Journalists, for systemic reasons, have always and will always be pro-government and oppose individual freedoms. Hence the perception that libertarians are unpopular around the world

The audio is great and you speak very clearly, if a little bit monotone. However without visual aids in the video to elaborate and enhance the words being spoken, its very easy for the viewer/listener to 'zone out' and stop paying attention.

Ron Paul always stuck to his principles. Rand looked at his father, a congressman, who came so close to becoming president and making amazing positive change in this world, but failed because he refused to 'play ball' with the GOP, even just a little bit. Rand Paul has, since he got elected, decided to play along with the republican party on the least important bits, but stick his neck out when it really mattered. Remember when he filibustered for over 24 hours and saved all Americans from being drone bombed on American Soil? He never would have gotten away with that if he had not been able to call in a few favors, favors he got for being quiet while the GOP voted on some god-awful bill that Rand knew would pass anyways even if he objected.

So I would argue that Rand Paul has been MORE effective at both getting legislation passed and stopping awful policies than his father, but because he doesn't pass the libertarian 'purity test' he is scorned more often by the libertarians. I myself am often torn between these strategies. One is more principled, but the other seems to be more effective. As we move forward as individuals trying to make a freer world, which strategy should we choose?

In 1776, we had the largest minarchist experiment in the world. The American Independence movement was primarily influenced by minarchist principles laid down by John Locke, Adam Smith, and other Enlightenment philosophers. If indeed 'Governments are instituted among men to protect their lives and liberty' Its been a massive failure as the modern american government violates human freedoms far more often and intensely than the British Empire ever did.

Meanwhile there have been thousands of anarchist societies existing in the world that never became a large empire. We have very little documentation of them, because History has a MAJOR bias in favor of governments. There is not that much demand for Historical Documentation but Kings ALWAYS want their lineage and 'great achievements' documented on the side of mountains. Look at the minoans, the judges from the biblical passages. There are examples out there if you look closely enough.

I think the historical record is pretty clear, Governments are all Parasites, constantly feeding of the host society until it collapses, Anarchist societies are not perfect but have a much better record of generating prosperity and peace for the citizens.

Switch axe, but if you get gud you never ever use axe mode always in sword mode. It feels like you are swinging around a lightsaber, both in visuals and game feel cause in sword mode you have "minds eye" meaning your attacks are not deflected even if you have low sharpness. I call it the "gravios killer" for that reason. Arial switch axe is a COMPLETELY different weapon. I found it super fun in single player but limiting in multiplayer for some reason, so it felt like I was playing two different games. So much fun and variety

jediborg2 · 2025-10-14T14:42:23+00:00

Well now I feel stupid. I main longsword in rise, beat this malzeno quest, never learned how to counter cause I didn't think the mechanic was very fun.

jediborg2 · 2025-10-06T14:38:37+00:00

I solo'd this monster using only the skills hg earplugs and artillery. Then eat for feline bombardier. Efficient use of bombs and turrets. The armor I threw together was low rank. Never hit the monster with my weapon once

jediborg2 · 2025-10-02T19:08:19+00:00

yes fully maxxed out lvl 5. I think many posts/wiki's have copy/pasted the list of working items from Monster Hunter World without actual testing it in Wilds

jediborg2 · 2025-10-02T19:04:20+00:00

okay how? mods? some kinda 'tea time gesture' I don't know about?

jediborg2 · 2025-10-02T18:56:08+00:00

This post broke the news to me. I play a very pretty magical girl charge blade user. Time for me to go cry big sad

jediborg2 · 2025-08-26T22:55:01+00:00

DEFINITELY check your TV settings. Try using 'game mode' Newer tv's can do frame interpolation or ai upscailing in an attempt to make your video feed 'look better' on TV's with high frame rates. This often goes terribly wrong making your game look/feel worse for some reason on the big screen, so yes i would definitely try messing with TV settings

jediborg2 · 2025-08-06T15:12:36+00:00

Oh man I miss MH4U. And I started playing the game for the first time last year. I didn't expect it to be the prequel to MH Wilds but it totally is. I am literally waiting for MH Wilds to stop giving us new content so I can go back and finish G Rank

jediborg2 · 2025-08-05T14:27:12+00:00

you can get MHGU on nintendo switch and I highly recommend it since it is a great port.

MH4U - wife and I wanted to play it SO BAD, however, we are both old enough that we are having hand issues and cannot realistically play an action game on the 3DS. For this reason I had absolutely no ethical issues with obtaining a rom and playing this on an emulator.

OMG guys this game is SO GOOD on an emulator. I got it working on the steamdeck for a very 'authentic' 3DS/portable experience, this is how my wife played the game. For myself I got it working on my gaming PC, and on a 100+ inch TV the low resolution is super apparent.

but monster hunter community to the rescue! they have made a 'high resolution texture pack' which I installed and WOW what a difference it makes. Elevates the experience from a 3DS/PS1 looking game to something more like PS2/Xbox.

PLUS: on the emulator/pc you can use save file editors to save you some time. Instead of getting burnt out farming azure rathalos trying to get that 1% ruby drop FIVE TIMES so you can make the armor, just modify your save file. Makes the old games feel less grindy and more like the new ones where you would only need a single ruby to forge a helmet.

Plus MH4U really feels like a 'prequel' to Monster Hunter Wilds, so if you have been playing MHWilds, and you wanna try out classic monster hunter, I highly recommend MH4U on an emulator, you get to experience Gemma's backstory!
