As much as IG players may seem like a meme, I’d say it isn’t a trash weapon, so much as people who play it don’t always realize that aerial attacks are NOT what you should be spamming. IG has an infinite combo on the ground with red extract, as well as some other moves that deal good damage, and are rather focused, making it tougher to trip teammates. Plus, Valor/Brave IG basically spends all of its time on the ground, since the buffs the style gives mostly apply to your grounded attacks, while still letting you vault to get mounts or reach extracts in hard to reach places. So yeah, IG isn’t so much the problem, it’s the people that don’t know how to play it.

[@dreamer1292]

and some people forget that the kinsect has crazy damage and is an excelent ranged weapon, heck some people don't even know it has a pheromone gun to mark monster

[@RenegadeKn1ght]

Randomness 10150 I would argue that pre-world IG is actually one of the harder weapons to use in the game period, at least in the early game. Unlike any other weapon that can start doing damage out of the box, IG requires red extract buff just to work properly. Getting red extract especially with the base lv 1 speed bug and even the lv 10 speed bug is way harder than the near instant speeds you can get extracts from world’s pseudocath. Then, managing buff durations and double/triple buff is also difficult when playing solo. People will argue that extract hunter helps, but until lv 3 extract hunter the triple buff it gives still has a low time duration. Plus using extract hunter means you give up the aerial slam + swarm combo in non-aerial style. Sure IG was overused and mounting was OP in 4U (srsly why KO when you could just mount lol), but it by no means is broken, easy, or stupid in Gen. It’s a weapon that requires good prediction of monster movement to get buffs, good buff management so that triple/double up doesn’t end after you successfully mount, and constant aggro if using extract hunter to maintain triple up. Anyone playing the weapon seriously isn’t trying to meme.

[@Jaquan018]

@@RenegadeKn1ght As a IG user... I can't fully agree. Yes level 1 Bug is slow. But even getting it to 5 in speed (that's 2 levels of investing in speed) will make it enough to hunt easily. Upkeep isn't much of an issue as you get used to it since most of the time you will be concerned with RW double up.

[@RenegadeKn1ght]

Jaquan you make a good point but I’ll still argue it’s harder to use the glaive in Gen than both 4U and World, at least for getting extracts. In 4U, effect extender bug was so broken that you could get triple up and not worry about buffs for a good amount of time. Gen forces you to be more conscious about upkeep time as effect extender’s duration was slashed to 50% length, and if using the speed bug, you don’t get the benefit of earplugs from triple up or extra armor from yellow buff. Upkeep may not be difficult once you get more used to glaive, but it’s still more difficult to maintain than in 4U. In world, effect extender bugs are no longer a thing, but speed bugs literally move so fast (and now fly vertically up and down where you aim your crosshair) that getting extracts is completely a non-issue. Effect extender also returns as a skill, making the problem even more minimal. I think upkeep management is most prevalent in Gen.

I dont mind "Generations Ultimate". While the name itself is over-the-top and stupid it fits the game imo.

IG Ariel style is arguably the most moble combo in the game. You can jump off certain attacks leaving you unharmed and as well use your vault to disengage and reposition yourself. Not to mention that the IG's finishing moves with R/W essence when used right can reposition you as well since they lunge you forward. You can also use the lunge attack then dodge to kite the monster keeping at a safe distance and eventually tripping it, to go into the bread and butter combo, all while doing damage. There's alot more but, if all your doing is just vaulting to mount the monster and nothing else with the IG then your doing it wrong.

[@f45411]

Monster Hunter world had a much worse early grind between not being able to play with friends because "you have to the cut scenes", even though in 4u you could watch cutscences in multiplayer no problem And there is some HR grind in between progressing the assigned quest for some reason where as once you break the HR cap in MHGU you can do basically whatever quest/quest line you want

I really don't know why but MHW just never grabbed me, maybe it was the weapon variaty being so boring, or the monsters also feeling just dull, but MHGenU is a game i'll probably put another 500 hours into, probably even more now, it's so fucking fun and while the graphics look like a bad ps3 game, i still just prefer it over MHWs mostly drab colour pallet.

[@timothy736]

I agree wholeheartedly. MHW was fun, but lacked variety. The 90+ monsters in GenU is a good hook for me, and the challenge of creating mixed armor sets in certain ways to get the skills you want is much more attractive to me as a player rather than "Hey slap these together and you're good to go." I'll always appreciate both, but I hope Capcom doesn't focus just on the open world series and has two separate MH series; the flashy, high speed arts games and the open world realistic games.

[@Sashrunner]

I think it stems from the fact that MHGU is an ultimate version. From a objective viewpoint, MHGU is better on several fronts compared to MHW (including mobility). However, I feel like I can put down MHW after a play session compared to the fully loaded, grindfest that is MHGU. Seems like something that would take a few months off my life to "git gud" and enjoy. While I enjoy variety, I feel like I would be apart the infamous few that would sell the game after a few weeks due to the amount stuff to work with. Then again, this is coming from a guy that just puts on a Spotify playlist and usually hunts alone (I do call for help for missions that are tough or long but I rarely get help on MHW unless I play at night when it's midday in Japan).

Great video! Also 1 thing to add that I think MH World does differently: in this game you need at least 10 skill points in an armor skill to receive any sort of buff. 9 points or less and you get nothing (same with the debuff skills though). This is why full armor sets of a single monster are good, since having all 5 pieces is usually enough to get you to 10 points by default. I've been seeing a lot of Hunters online wearing stuff with a little bit of everything, thinking that they're getting bonuses, but they aren't getting any, and I remember that when I 1st played MH4U I thought the same thing.

Every game onward was a blessing compared to that. In 3U I got dual swords and awoke my inner weeaboo, finally got to play hub missions, and finally played something close to the endgame like hunting the Jhen Moran and Alatreon. 4U got rid of those awful water mechanics, I actually like the insect glaive since we never really got a spear or bo staff type weapon in the game, the game actually made use of upward direction with new environments and mechanics, and we got a lot of new varieties of monsters for both base game and hub missions. GU was a fucking masterpiece by comparison for those who don't have a Playstation; I loved the improved weapon upgrade mechanics, it felt nostalgic even though I've never played the first few games, I loved meeting all the npcs I knew in the past games, the hunter arts are interesting and help a lot of people unleash their inner anime protagonist, I love the new monsters like all the dinosaurs because who doesn't love dinosaurs, and the new ways to farm items through the cats are a godsend.
