    Stupid rock dragon.
    I killed it but god that took longer than it should have I was bouncing off everywhere except one section of his legs.

    yes that part was fine

    the part where i played it was not great
    Freedom Wars tries to shake up too many parts of the formula for its own good, and while I still like it I can see why it'd put somebody off

    toukiden's way more conventional in a lot of ways that I can't articulate since I'm not a MonHun expert

    one big positive I'll say is that Toukiden IMMEDIATELY gives you some crazy-ass enemies with varying patterns

    one big minus is that you can't just randomly roam the battlefield like you can with the island in monhun3 (haven't played 4)

    i mean toukiden would really have to give you enemies with varying patterns, given what i saw of the initial combat

    like playing your character seems simple to the point that you really gotta have that stuff out the gate

    The camera is one of the biggest fucking problems when taking on something with the Najarala's length.

    it honestly depends on your weapon and the mitama you have equipped

    I was hoping Toukiden would scratch that MH itch. It did, for a brief moment.

    Alas, not nearly enough though.

    I've decided that the charge blade is fucking powerful if you know how to use it properly.

    I'm going to check out the bug staff now.

    Charge Blade is amazing. It's my main/favorite weapon.

    I like Insect Glaive but sometimes getting the color juices is obnoxious.

    Toukiden is way too simple. It seems complex and it isn't.

    On the other have monhun seems simple but ends up being incredibly complex.

    Kiwami has the problem of fights taking too god damn long. I don't want to fight this boring thing for 45 minutes.

    Soul sacrifice is better then Toukiden or freedom wars.

    Still inferior to mh4u. (Probably better then 3u though.)

    I enjoyed the great retcon and unreliable narrator aspect of Soul Sacrifice Delta. I also really enjoyed the lore sections for the monsters. The flying baby things were a little strange. Also sacrificing your friends on purpose. :)

    Final fantasy crossed with monster hunter might be awesome.

    Shadow of the monster hunter.

    God of war vs monster hunter

    Capturing a Great Jaggi was WAY easier than capturing that damn Azuros.

    I'm pretty sure I know the answer already, but - is there any indication to when I've broken the Great Jaggi's head?

    Because I swear, I've wailed on these dude's heads almost exclusively and I've yet to get a King's Frill. Only one I got I got from capturing one.

    Edit: I'm also aware that it's only a chance of me getting the frill, so maybe I've just been unlucky.

    You should see the fill break and after that it will look pretty ragged

    Honestly you will have to spend most of the hunt hitting the jaggi in the head in order to break it.

    There will also be a sort of 'crunching' noise and the Jaggi will flinch. (Although, they flinch when you do enough damage anyway so that's not much of an indicator, but the noise is a big tell and is common across all part-breaks.
    There are some little particle effects which fly out too I believe.

    If you're having trouble hitting the head, maybe try using a hammer or hunting horn for a quest or two (if you're not already), those blunt weapons will always produce a yellow swirly effect when they hit the head hitbox, should give you a reasonable idea of where to aim with other weapons.

    I've been using the hammer, it is indeed super handy!

    I do think I've probably broken the head at least once, just didn't get it when harvesting it afterward.

    Capturing doesn't actually give you any frills, you got that one from breaking his head. It's not a carve, you get given break rewards on the quest reward screen.

    The system of breaking parts is all kinds of backward. Break the frill to get a frill? How the hell does that work? No, kill it without breaking the frill and cut it off intact! Better yet, capture the monster and haul it back to the village where a competent butcher can cut all the parts you need off of it!

    That said, I was playing dragons dogma the other day and got two eyes off of a Cyclops. Automatically suspicious

    I really appreciate the monster line up in the latest offering. Rather than just "FUCKING DINOSAUR" I can also scream "FUCKING BUG" "FUCKING BIRD" and "FUCKING MONKEY...SQUIRREL...ELEPHANT...THING"

    Pretty sure i've gotten two gypceros heads before, I kinda think that's a bit weirder than a cyclops with two eyes.

    It probably killed another Gypceros and was wearing its head on a necklace as a trophy. You know, normal monster stuff.

    Grinding a single quest repetitively always wears me down. Even if I'm really trying to put something together, I'll occasionally stop to work on something else just to get some variety in.

    "well to grind this more efficiently I should build this weapon, so I need these parts. In order to get these parts as quickly as possible I should probably go get..."
