Monster Hunter

"We talk to Monster Hunter Wilds art director and executive director Kaname Fujioka, series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, and director Yuya Tokuda about the weapon updates, Gemma, and that dating sim tag."

New info from demo showed at SGF

Oooh, I'm excited, the updates they made to the wilds website are also super interesting. https://www.monsterhunter.com/wilds/en-us/

Just got it today. Seems pretty good so far, for a Niantic game. A bit annoyed that weapons besides S&S are locked behind chapter 2.

"The long awaited Sequel! We return to Monster Hunter Frontier to discover the Monsters of the G-Z expansions! Enjoy!"

Hello, today I'd like to share the first part of my collection of Monster Hunter books. The first series presented here are the fairly well-known Illustration books. Reprints of all three books in English have appeared on Udon Entertainment's official website in the last few months, although they do not seem to be listed at the time of making this post. https://store.udonentertainment.com/collections/monster-hunter

They have also shown up on second-hand online markets such as eBay and Craigslist. I found the first book at a local comic book store, so they are available in smaller book stores as well. Apologies for the less-than-perfect scans provided below. I wanted to share a few representative examples of each book. There are likely full digital copies of these books available online in other MH communities, though I am cautious to provide more than the title and publishing information. I share this information to make it easier for others to search for them online. There are a few other "series" of books that I have not seen listed in the same format that I will provide, only tangentially hinted at by comments from people on reddit, twitter, Japanese blogs and second hand shops online. Those books will be shared at a later date.

Just trying out a federated hello from kbin.social. So far, it appears we are the only two Monster Hunter communities on the fediverse. I look forward to seeing how our communities develop and hopefully sharing some hunter hype during TGS later this year.

I think chances are very high for it to be at TGS personally

My MHR character

Both of my main characters in MHW and MHR came all the way back from my Guild Wars 2 days(last image). The male one was my own creation and the female one was my wife's, but I bring both of them through all of my games now as if they're traveling through different game worlds.

What about you guys?

Hi everyone. Very new to the Fediverse but I thought I just say hi and leave my Switch friend code. If anyone wants to add me please, lets hunt some monsters. https://postimg.cc/TK9sSq9x

Kinda disappointed tbh… I guess we wait for game awards for the next opportunity for a “world premiere”? Could still release in mid spring/early summer if announced at TGAs

The Kamura tracks were awesome, don't get me wrong, but the vocals in them and the instrumentation of the hub track got old and repetitive pretty fast, to the point where by the end of base game they really started to grate.

The soft instrumentals of the Elgado track really helps make the hub a place I don't mind spending extended periods of time between hunts.

That's all - I was hunting this morning and that occurred to me, and I figured the comm here can use all the posts/discussion it can get! Happy hunting!

I'm going to miss monster hunter subreddit next week because of the dumb decision reddit made in the site.

Personally, I'm quite hyped to see the new MH game and I think we might see a reveal later this year!

I enjoyed MHW quite alot.
