Is it just my imagination or did they change the controls for bow? I feel like it used to be X to load an arrow and R to aim, but in the demo it is R to load and X to aim (and I always slash now when taking out the bow).

You can switch it back to classic control in the actual release.

Bow controls can be toggled in the demo, too. Open the menu during a hunt and explore the Options.
Not having been a bow user, I've heard the new method is actually more conducive to aiming without having to claw?
Apparently there's also some changes with default camera settings (vertical auto-adjust) and I need to see how I had my dodge orientation set up previously. I think I may have chosen one way for underwater fights though character based dodging probably works better.

I picked up some MH merch recently to test the product quality over at Redbubble. Overall, they do a pretty good quality job. I wish their sticker template had an option for a larger size but the images still came out crisp on everything. I had to replace my phone recently so that case is the Galaxy S5. The image print on that is sharp as well.

Good stuff and not-so-good stuff tonight.
Good stuff: Upgraded my Rimeblade to a Rimeblossom and then to Rime & Treason. New strongest Longsword in my box! Also got my first one-quest Ceadeus kill.
Not-so-good stuff: Trying to finish my Helios set. In two Ceadeus hunts I didn't carve a single Crooked Horn. I'm actually kind of upset about it.

So far I only have one MH shirt from them but it would be really easy to dig deeper and get a bunch of stuff.
I really like the Chaos Gore Magala armor, both how it looks and it's skill set. It'll end up being my elemental armor most likely if I can get the right charm.

Geez, the Japanese MH4 took away DB's natural Razor Sharp? (MH4U returned it, thankfully.)
Even with the Razor Sharp skill — which I always used once I found it — on top of that I still burned through sharpness like mad in 3U. I can only imagine what a hellscape not having the inherent sharpness must have been.
The general comment at the time from every English streamer was "If this isn't reverted you can pretty much forget about ever having fun with DB's"
Luckily it was. They also messed up SnS in MH4, though not as bad, by taking away it's bonus modifier to Elemental(and I think status). That was also reverted with MH4G/U.

That's kind of shitty. I am glad all that was reverted. Yeah, DB was terrible as it was, even with Razor Sharp in 3U.
Also, has anyone talked about the brilliance of the gear in the 4U demo yet? GS with Paralyze?! SnS with Sleep?!?! DB that do nothing?!?!!!

I honestly think they picked the Demo gear for how it looked and considered no other factor.
Hell, they even lock you out of looking at the equipment screen because, from what I can tell, all hunters have the same skills regardless of what you pick.
Edit: Don't get me wrong it's the best demo they've made so far but it really only encapsulates the fighting portion of it. All the tactical choices are not there. I don't know how you pass that experience on in the demo anyway but I just try to make sure people know that there's a lot deeper experience there than the demo is giving anyone a glimpse at.

I'd say you're probably correct. The weapon choices are just weird. I'm not expecting some kind of min-max, but surely they could have done better than sleep SnS and Paralyze GS. In all my huntings, I've never paralyzed a monster with that weapon. Like, it's worthless.

I honestly don't know why there are status GS's. It seems really against the weapon design to even bother making them.

My buddy has a poison GS. I think he uses the Miasmethys. Basically, first hit poisons the monster. After that poison wears off, in three hits it's poisoned again. He can keep the monster poisoned nearly 100% of the time. Great for fighting Lagiacrux, for instance.
In 3U, there are no LR status GS. Because they'd be stupid. Just like they are in 4U.
They only become worth something in HR and GR because you are more into the min-maxing and that kind of stuff plays a major role.
Status on GS seems like it's only really good when playing in a group with other peeps who have that same status effect.
Sure. I think it's more meant for people who don't skill into status attack up or high crit with status critical up. My status sets all have some form of boost on them and it's really a waste for the GS to intentionally drop their raw and lose out on a decent amount of DPS just to insure my first para goes off one hit sooner.
edit: I'm being that guy. I apologize. a little.
edit 2: Poison makes sense because it's the only status where the counter can fill up while the monster is suffering from the effect.

Considering that you can't actually inflict status effects with your weapons in the demo (paralyze knives work, though) it really doesn't matter too much. I think the DS were ice element.

Too bad the demo doesn't remember this or any other changes, so you have to do this every time. I mean... that's to be expected, but still.

Philia-set localised to Storge-set? That sounds like an interesting story.
They are both randomly acquired and have randomized stats to some degree.

People just stopped using it because it was near impossible to keep it's sharpness up even with razor sharp.

You can inflict status with the ranged weapons in the demo. Though it wouldn't surprise me that they took it out of the melee weapons.

Definitely off for melee; I know the poison LS did nothing. But leaving it on for ranged seems plausible.
