Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate: Who the hell is ready for this?! -raises hand way up high-


  Having played MH3U for a long LONG time I have been waiting for this next game since I completed the Dire Miralis set and haven't really had much incentives to play since not many of my friends do anymore. Yeah this has been out for a while but ever since I saw the trailer showing you could climb on a monsters back and go to town with your weapon just made things even more interesting! They are adding so many mechanics that make the game more challenging as well as giving you an advantage from time to time! The new weapons also look pretty sweet if you ask me! One lets you use an insect as a pet to attack and give boosts or distract the monster and the other just looks like it's going to freaking hurt if you hit anything with it! JUST LOOK AT THEM!


  I am seriously tempted to get the staff just because I want to see how it works and master it...and kill stuff with it of course! I also read somewhere that the insects have a sort of leveling system similar to the weapon upgrading system! From what I know the insect will shoot a pheromone bullet and attack the area where it hit! This is important since different body parts of the monster will give you different essences or buffs. Thankfully you can enter an aim mode and select which specific part you want to attack! Check out the wiki and read about the other mechanics to this weapon! Monster Hunter Wiki

  The charge axe also looks pretty neat and it's similar to the switch axe with the whole phial charging and charge attacks except that instead of switching from axe to a two handed sword it changes to a sword and shield or an axe! Neat huh? These two new weapons add so much more to the original roster than before and I am going to enjoy crafting and gathering all of them! Going to have to put my sword and shield down for now! 

  Oh and another thing that really caught my attention...ONLINE PLAY! This means I no longer have to stare at my friends screw up or face criminal charges if I lose my temper and punch them in the face! I win TWICE! But seriously this is awesome because that means I can tackle challenges with other players at the usual ungodly hours that I am awake and not have to try and solo anything as much! Friends to play with at all times?! ALL TIMES! This makes me happy! :'D

  They are also releasing a few cameos in the game as dlc which is free from what I hear! This is pretty neat because I mean...COME ON! Mario felyne armor and samus armor?! Awesome! There has been a bunch of complaining about this though and I don't see why not. One of the excuses was that it messed with the lore of the game. Okay explain the lore of the pumpkin armor. Did the hunter get high and think pumpkins would make for good protection? No. If you don't like it don't download it. There problem solved! There were other reasons but that one was the one that stood out the most...and didn't really make sense. A recent release...is...SAMUS! A space bounty hunter hunting monsters...and collecting bounties. Now how the hell is that out of place people? Maybe she needs the money! Really now. I am not sure if there will be a male samus suit but if not I am crossing my fingers for...megaman armor! Hey it could happen! 




  And to finish this off the felynes are back in town! Now instead of annoying break dancing midgets we have cats that will probably do a better job not being as useless as the other two. Seriously they would heal me after AFTER I used a potion and was at full health. Well gee thanks...for nothing! Gah I swear sometimes I would smack them around just to make sure they didn't get in my way! Hate them! 



  Sorry about the rant....anyways! Another thing they released which might appeal to some of the more hardcore hunters or collectors out there...is the collectors edition! Some of the things in it aren't really to die for but I want that chest and the freaking figure! Because those two things are to die for! If they included a mh4u limited edition 3dsxl along with the game and all these goodies I would glady pay $200+ to get it all! Because Japan has a limited edition 3dsxl...and we don't! It's not cool yo! Yeah I'm grateful to even be getting this game over here in America but COME ON! Hopefully they release it over here sometime soon...until then...I will just die of envy! ;-;





  That about sums up this article for now! I am really really dying to play this game right now! What about you guys? Anyone care to you know...exchange friend codes and prepare for the future! Just leave a comment with your friend code and I'll reply with mine! Feel free to add each other as well! :D
