Sword and shield. The backwards hop is the only move that consumes stamina, and you move faster by virtue of instant sheathing. Seriously, you can just be sprinting whenever you're not attacking.

Monster Hunter: World PC |OT| Now Jaggi Free!
- Thread starter texhnolyze
- Start date
This saddens me greatly. Excited to play Monster Hunter again regardless.
That's what I get for just changing the numbers. ¬.¬ Yes, it's 12pm!
I'm thinking about picking this up for me and my girl...just a few questions as a complete Monster Hunter noob (this would be the first in the series I'd play):
-Is this a good game to play coop with 1 other player consistently?
-Any recommendations on class/weapons to be used among a 2 player party, class/weapon-wise?
-I'm assuming this is best played with a controller? I have a PS4 controller and xbox 360 controller, but have never set up my PS4 bluetooth on my PC. Is that hard to do? Is PS4 controller recommended?

Charge Blade is my main along with GS. Got to HR 80 with CB and switched to GS once I tasted it's power and rode it to HR100. The name of the game is executing a "Super Amped Elemental Discharge" or SAED. I would write an extended guide to use it, but this video does the job well enough:
Charge blade is incredibly fun and rewarding. The gameplay loop is attacking, storing, charging and going all out on the SAED. It can be hard to learn, since its easy to miss with it, but it is so satisfying to hit. Charging the sword isn't required to perform the SAED, but when charged your sword does not bounce at all. Skills like Focus allow you to build phials quicker and make the gameplay loop much quicker.
It is sick.
It's great for consistent 2-player coop. It'll be that little bit more challenging since you'll have multiplayer-buffed monsters for only two players, but you can always SOS in a third and fourth if you need.
Weapon-wise, every weapon is viable and easy to try out in World. Just work your way through low rank with a bunch of combinations and see which ones you both like. The game doesn't punish you for experimentation.
Can't answer the PS4 one because I use an Xbox One controller, sorry.
Can't wait! soooooo close
Also, on stream Socks said 5pm BST, so that will be 12pm EDT release. 11am (according to the list) or 12pm is fine by me :D

New players to the series should know that every weapon is viable! The game rewards skilled play more than weapon choice. Learn your choosen weapon, learn the game mechanics, and learn the monsters attacks and patterns and you can dominate with any weapon you choose to play. Its great fun with a group of to play entirely solo or a combination of the 2.
Yep. I personally don't like how it makes the game look and it seems to be very taxing on fps.
Can't wait!! And to all you newbies take your time and soak in the game.
Sword and Board, Dual Blades, and Long Sword are all easy to use, fast, and rewarding. Frankly I would just choose what you think you will like. There is a training area in the game to test out all the weapons so take some time and explore the options. Stuff like the Lance may seem boring compared to other weapons but every weapon is surprisingly fun.
Have hundreds of hours on the PS4 version, I still double dipped on the PC version. Love this game so much. Too bad I can't pre install
I recommend the Hammer. Teaches you positioning, aiming and evasion.
Why are you worried about performance with the best card currently available? I mean, I suppose if you're trying to run silky smooth 4k that might be a difficult target to reach but still.
I wanted to start with the long sword but found out that it's the most popular weapon. For some reason I don't want to use the weapon that everyone else uses :(
ok sweet thx man!!
so no one should be complaining about framerate/performance, just turn off that setting
So excited for this to come out, can't wait for that download to start! The wait has been hard but it's finally almost over.
That makes my purchasing decision easier. I stopped playing this on my Pro not because of the framerate and loading times, but because I was bored of the base content. In a year or so maybe there will be enough new content that it will be worth purchasing at a discounted price.
Not that bad for me with there being no preload, should download pretty quick. Thanks.
That's the first weapon I completely ruled out :P

Absolutely delightful, the game is very modding friendly in terms of how it handles files. No need to repack the weird chunk files basically just drag and drop your modded files in the right location. :)
I'll refrain from posting any screenshots before release because of the hypocritical pseudo white knights the MH community suffers from in regards to that but rest assured, it has potential.

Provided that somebody REs the required file formats, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. Mind you I only did a few text changes for now since obviously that doesn't require any highly complex juggling
What an odd statement...I've never noticed anything like that, but then again I'm not exactly sure what you mean or are talking about.
I wouldn't be opposed to seeing screenshots though.
Trust me, it downloads faster than it decompresses, unless your internet is really slow it's not worth it to preload on steam.
I laughed more than I should have at the title.
I did, but not getting 4K/60 yet. I was hoping that either Nvidia would have released their new cards by now, or the game had released in another two months. I played it on the Pro in "performance" mode anyway, so this is still a huge upgrade.
Also not making the same mistake I made when I originally played it. I started out using the bow. For the first ten to twenty hours, the longsword is so much faster.
Unless this was wrong, or things have changed, no. The release times were nonsensical, like 8AM tomorrow at the earliest.
edit: OP has the times.

Why no one should complain about poorly optimized effect? Which remains in console version and works alright?
