    Hmm, just read an important thing that's making me think of restarting on my US account. Online functionality will be paid. And I'm not sure I wanna pay double, so... yeah.

    This is the one I've been waiting for.

    I'll miss the old super charge, but the tackle is really nice. It's going to be tough choosing between my 3 mains now. I think it'll come down to which weapon designs make it into the game, or what new armour skills they add.

    that feeling when you tackle through a roar and level 3 true charge a rathalos in its dumb face. If World gives me that, I think I'll be happy.

    the strong charge and true strong charge are huge buffs to weakness exploit unsheathed GS

    i wonder if WE will make it in.

    the shoulder charge looks like so much fun

    The True Charge Attack seemed super finicky in that video though. The first part of it did piddling damage (~20, so basically just a regular swing), and it sends you FLYING forward. If you don't lodge yourself into the monster you're going to miss the real part of the attack, which is chunky, dealing almost twice as much damage (160, vs. 90) as the first level 3 charge.

    He mentioned that it seemed ridiculously sensitive to moving the stick, though, so I get the feeling the intent is that you can use it to follow a monster after it does a step-forward attack past or away from you. Granted, this does mean you probably won't get to hit the weak spot, but dealing double damage makes up for that in most cases.

    So, I don't think intentionally shoulderchecking to get to True Charge Attacks is going to be particularly effective. I think it's something that lets you either combo a double or triple charge attack while staying on target, or something to let you check your way through an attack and then hit the monster from behind.

    It takes Japanese Paypal. You can try https://www.japan-codes.com/product-category/nintendo-prepaid-card/

    I've used them instead of Play-Asia and vice versa depending on whichever one had a cheaper price back before I discovered I could buy them from Amazon JP.

    Worse comes to worst I guess I can try to buy a code for you?

    Also I don't get what's up with these Japanese rooms. Have had issues twice now where people just take all the damn items instead of just their share from the box. When that happens I just straight up quit. Like I'm not gonna help out assholes with their quests.

    How many hoops must there be to give people more ey so I can play MH?

    I just had to private message the company through Facebook with the name of the game I was going to buy to "verify" my account.

    Edit: and this is why I usually use Play Asia

    Edit2: now they want me to send them a picture of my license with the address and expiration date but other sensitive info blocked out.

    I don't have time for this shit. Fuck it I'll just wait until Play Asia has codes.

    This became a thing for a lot of Japanese sites a few years ago because of government regulations.

    I'm a frequent importer so I already dealt with all this stuff years ago. Now I just order stuff lickety-split with no hassle.

    Well maybe if this one provided an avenue that wasn't Facebook or Twitter I might have been more receptive.

    Yeah FB/Twitter seems kinda dumb. Which site was this?

    But this is the thing that affects a lot of Japanese businesses and why ID is needed for certain transactions: http://www.npa.go.jp/sosikihanzai/jafic/en/maneron_e/manetop_e.htm

    To be fair, all the people buying stuff using fake addresses probably isn't helping things (I use my actual forwarding address).

    Play-asia does have codes up again yesterday from what I heard.

    I thought I didn't care about pins, but then I went to pax south. It's not like it's possible to get pax west tickets anyway, so I wouldn't be able to get the pins. But it would be nice to have them. I just wish XX would have got localized on the 3ds. Oh well, I'm getting a ps4 for marvel vs capcom and battlefront 2, so MHW on ps4 seems good to me too.

    Also, maxing out the strider gear in gen takes sooooo many deviljho kills.
