"Monster Hunter is a dark and serious franchise" is synonymous to "Yakuza is a serious crime drama" meme. The story and lore of both games is dark, but game play is fun and goofy as hell.
Every heard of Destiny Lore, oh boy😬
sword and shield: *literally is the only weapon in the game that can use items unsheathed*
Light Bowgun: *cannot use items while unsheathed*
Airier: *disgusted* _oh_
tobi-kadachi: exists
Airier: "pokemon"
He just REALLY believes in the Classic Medieval European Combo, the Sword and Shield.
2:05 Airier : "Why Jocat , WHY ?
Jocrap : " If I had to see it , THEN EVERYONE ELSE WILL HAVE TO !
"Ramirez, Do ___" Is a COD reference for anyone who don't know.
"Ramirez, Take down that AC-130 with your throwing knife!"
"Ramirez, protect the Burger Town."
For the Sword and Shield! Deus Vult!
Jocat: *breathes*
Airier: There's a reference in this somewhere...
Heavy Bowgun is THE most broken weapon in MHWI, but the thing is, its full potential can only be unlocked late game. Something like shooting explosives at monsters face to make them unable to move, or stand in front of monsters with a shield attached to your gun and they cant even do damage to you while you use your shotgun bullets to deal sweet damage to their face, or snipe monsters from a mile away...etc. Early game though, good luck with buying all those bullets while saving your wallets. (and it doesnt do that much more damage than other weapons early on)
It is light hearted but when you step in to the lore it’s a bit darker one and you essentially hunt monsters to wear them just because “hey, it’s bothering the village, go kill it”. Also you get monster parts even if you capture monsters alive. How do you think the researchers get internal parts from live monster?
Theoretically the Guild has massive storehouses of organized parts that they can hand to you when they feel like you deserve it
@@itsturniptime3699 Then one of those guys must be a funny one, because Mr. Sensor likes pulling peoples legs and breaking their sanity. Yea, it’s probably cannon now that Desire Sensor is part of the guild.
@@nergalrior7841 Probably. They just don’t want to hand you the rare stuff cause they’re hoarders I guess
Another brother for the Heavy Bowgun Troupe. We welcome you!
Time to light up some monsters.
I mostly use Charge Blade, but Heavy Bowgun is my second favorite.
Monster hunter shoot to heal existed since ps2 asfar as i remember
See in one hand, Monster Hunter has stories of entire civilizations being wiped out like Pompeii, monsters eating children, and the atrocities of the Hunter’s Guild that are hidden behind sight
And then there’s the other hand containing a frog shark that can bloat up like a 20 foot tall water balloon and try to squash you with its stomach or a giant pink fat monkey that’s primary mode of offence if farting and tossing its turds at you
Present Airier still has know idea that future Airier is an ass to him
It's not supposed to be (completely) dark
Overwatch did not invent healing bullets. I first knew it from Borderlands 2 (where a Siren skill turns all your projectiles into heal when hitting allies - rocket launchers op) and I'm very sure they weren't the first either...
I know TF2 had Medic with the healing Crusader's Crossbow. You shoot the bolt at an ally and it heals em from long distance. So it has been rooted into FPS gaming for a little while.
19:12 So you decided to take the image out of your head and put it into ours? Because I was living a very nice peaceful life before realizing that.
Yeah its a joke, sword and shield is considered bottom tear, it can a lot sure, but its a "Jack of all trades, master of none" kinda weapon, air atttacks? sure but only 1 move, fast combos? sure but slower then other fast weapons with less range, block? sure but the weakest in the game... and slinger is now for all weapons now just sword and shield.
As a sword and shield main; what other weapons can do better, there is one thing they cannot. Be more fun for me to play.
No, SnS has two moves in the air, it's faster than everything but dual blades and it's block, don't know about block strength but it doesn't eat sharpness like a Greatsword or charge blade. It deals pretty good stun with the shield but can cut tails with the sword, has good damage options in both low commitment and higher commitment moves and no meter-building which makes it easier to get damage in in more scenarios than most other weapons, and it's among the best in evasion, as well as having both get-in and back-out moves. The use items while unsheathed is just a bonus to a weapon that already has such a good sheathe speed it's not all that necessary. It's no joke weapon, I main Switch Axe but Alatreon is way too fast in the New World, SnS and Dual Blades have that low commitment damage in the fast moves and the evasion to get by.
Don't let jocrap hear you
Laughs in slinger burst to perfect rush
Bottom tier? Youve never played iceborn i see
honestly my favorite build on the heavy bowgun was literally designed around hiding and using the special ammo wyvernsnipe. With the sniper scope and right build....imagine a pierce ammo shot (meaning it'll hit multiple times) but each pierce tick leaves behind a explosive on the monster. The pierce ability can go all the way through a monster.
Not sure if you noticed but the Long Sword in the intro has been getting longer per video
He did notice it a bit back in the reaction video with GL, Swaxe, CB, and IG.
Anjinath is the pink T-rex thing
Heavy Bowguns cannot use ALL those different ammo types all the time, it depends on WHICH HBG you use. And the same goes for whether you want the Wyvernheart Rambo mode, or Wyvern Snipe which shoots a piercing bullet that will set off a chain of explosions inside the monster after the bullet has punched through for every tick of piercing damage you caused. (So always aim for a monster lengthwise from nose to tail when Wyvernsniping)
Jocat’s comment on “Except that one…” regarding one sword is because it had a -20% affinity. Which is the *critical hit rate* of the weapon. And yes, the game does have a mechanic where it is possible to have a retroactive critical hit where instead of a chance to deal 125% damage to the monster, you’ll deal 75% damage to the monster.
GENERALLY, the weapons which have that problem are the weapons associated with the most brutish, “SUBTLTY!? *WHAT* *IS* *THAT**?!?”* monsters in the game. (Anjanath the T-Rex, Barrioth the mud-covered battering-ram face dinosaur, and Deviljho the largest angry pickle in the universe AKA Shrek with rabies)
Most of sword and shield’s damage comes from 3 factors.
1: maximizing your chances to critically hit.
2: Doing more damage when you crit.
3: Boosting the elemental damage of a weapon to exploit a monster’s elemental weakness.
For the first two, there are skills to help with those. For the 3rd, there are skills AND an awareness of a hidden mechanic in MHW which is too complicated to detail here and I don’t remember it off the top of my head.😓
So I will GROSSLY over-summarize. However much elemental damage it SAYS a weapon will do to an enemy, the actual damage amount is much, MUCH less depending on the weapon, with Sword and Shield (and dual blades) being the only weapons which take maximum advantage of elemental damage.
Now NORMALLY, elemental damage does not go up when you get a critical hit, but there is an armor-set bonus (as in you are wearing more than one piece of armor belonging to a specific monster, usually a minimum of 3 pieces out of 5 total) which makes your elemental damage AND your base damage go up when you get a critical hit. Needless to say, for SERIOUS Sword and Shield players, that armor set and builds around that armor set are the second coming of Jesus. And they get super pissed whenever they have a fight a monster where that armor set is a massive weakness. It’s usually the armor of the ice-based Legiana, or Elder Dragon Velkhana from the Iceborne DLC expansion, who is also an ice-based monster. That armor naturally makes a hunter take MORE damage from flame attacks, so fighting monsters with fire damage while trying to get elemental critical hits on them is basically playing tag, but one side is using a rocket launcher.
EDIT
I decided to refresh my memory on the elemental stuff. Basically, MHW suffers from a “bloat value” problem when it comes to the damage it SAYS that a weapon does on the main inventory screen. For example, whatever number it says the Great Sword does for damage, divide that by 4.8, and THAT is the “True Raw” damage it will deal to the monster. (which is what’s being put into the calculations based on how sharp the weapon is, where the monster is being hit, quest difficulty and LOTS of other little factors) For Sword and Shield, you divide the stated damage by 1.3 to get the True Raw damage. For Elemental damage though, you universally divide whatever damage it says by 10 for the True Elemental RAW Damage of the weapon. The skills to boost elemental damage on weapons are usually a flat increase, so with all that put together, elemental damage with element damage boosting skills are WAY more effective on weapons that hit as fast as possible. Like Sword and Shield and Dual Blades.
Small correction, he was talking about elements and his “oh except that one,” was because the weapon was a fire weapon, which, because this was made in base world, basically nothing was weak too.
lightning squirrel = tobi kodachi, pickle = deviljo
Course now that iceborn has been around all weapons can use items and slingers so the sword and shield has dropped in power. But Jocrap shall never abandon it! I personally am a gun lance main, but go long sword if I just don't feel like dealing with a certain monster.
Gunlance mains rise up!
@@astralguardian5930 And it's only gotten better in rise. WHO'S KING OF THE SKIES NOW INSECT GLAIVE MAINS?! (No disrespect tho they have a talent I cannot manage good for them having something I can't do.)
@@Guardian-of-Light137 Yep, but having played Rise before World, I do admit going from the rocket propelled machine in Rise to just going back to hip hopping around just felt jarring at first.
@@astralguardian5930 World was my first monster hunter and I only have the demo of rise. I've just seen gameplay. The hopping around does take some getting used to but honestly it's better to just sheath and run most of the time. Plus you have a strong guard for a reason. You're meant to be tanking more than dodging.
@@Guardian-of-Light137 I know that full well, but you still gotta hop around a bit to keep in striking range.
Fun fact, you can customize your heavy bowgun to block while aiming (as long as your not firing)
Also sword and shield is my favourite weapon
Even in The Crap guide to dnd series he’s praises the Sword and Shield. He either like it so much it’s kinda gross or he’s just that committed to the bit.
Generations had Oils for SnS uniquely, which added crit chance, damage, or no bouncing, I'm not sure if there's any more than those.
Nothings funnier then a party of 4 heavy bow guns. Gotta turn that monster into Swiss cheese
Funny thing is the Kebob analogy is pretty accurate to older games
Airier you need to catch up on your monster else you shall be hunted for mentioning pokemon on mh again
Anjanath is the Pink fluffy T-rex with a helluva sinus.
Yeah the sword and shield is SUPER overpowered. you have no idea
From these monster hunter videos the channel went from 123 to 17k
btw, Jocat is DMing a live dnd campaign
Hey, Airier, if you really plan to return to MH World, I could maybe help you figure things out? It's been ages since I played it, but I remember more or less how to do things, including bowgun's dakka mode. Plus, it's fun to play.
15:50 For those of us who have seen up through season 8 of MLP: Friendship is Magic, that phrase hits different.
So to cover a few things
Monster hunter had healing shots before overwatch was even a idea in someone's head.
Jocat was wrong about slicing shot it is affected by hitzones ( armor )
Yeah sns particularly in iceborn is top tier. People who say otherwise are ignorant inexperienced, dont know how to use it or are just parroting what other unknowledgeable people are saying. It requires one of the highest degrees of skill to use well but does wonders in the hands of a expert. Its versatile mobile can use items while out is one of only 2 light weapons with a one hit tenderize option and has among the highest dps of any weapon via perfect rush.
There's another video in this series, where he laments a change made to the game after the end of the S&S vid. You need to watch that one too, if you haven't already.
Shooting people to heal them... The earliest time i've ever seen this mechanic was in the game "Loadout"
I'm mean there is the epilogue to the series Jo put out, and there is sort of a follow up spoof by NHCProductions called State of SnS that he's in.
Healing ammo is there since at least psp because I remember trying to heal khuz with light bowgun
Ramirez is a cod2 reference where your squad leader in the campaign keeps commanding your shit. Also the origin of
"Ramirez, protect burgertown"
Honestly, every time I hear Ramirez I think of Highlander
its a little short so you'd probably have to pair it with some other stuff
but knowing you you'd get a kick out of his "i like girls" little music video animation
edit: nvm ya know about it
I still get a kick out of the vtuber part
@@BreakerX42 you mean where the vshojo girls hold up their breast sizes like score cards?
@@mrroboshadow yep
I think the original "heals by shooting you character" might be Sharla from Xenoblade Chronicles.
i will condense the first part of the lore for you.
the wyverians (think ancestors to humans in-game) think there big and tough try to enslave monsters fail elder dragons (think BIG dragons with 300 IQ) go "we hate you" and killed 90% of the wyverians. the weapons we use in-game are made by them and we can only replicate them and not make new weapons. also the wyverians made a "living" weeapon from monsters (think Frankenstein's Monster)
6:20 CoD. "RAMIREZ! PROTECT THE BURGERTOWN!"
i used the heavy bowgun for 90% of the game including iceborn so if you want i can teach some basics of it i also used insect glave 0.5%, lance 0.5%, and hunting horn 4%
he was one of the animators on tavern crawl
Not the same but original Borderlands had a sniper rifle that did transfusion damage so you could vampirically heal your front-line fighters.
TF2 did healing shots before Overwatch, and that was with crossbows.
I think the first healing weapon was in FF6, a Staff which bonks are healing people. Might be wrong though, but it clearly predates Monster hunter or Overwatch.
I would have to use the heavy bowgun just for how different it is from other fantasy games.
the fire sword and shield has affinity -20% basically you cant crit
the healing "guns" started with monster hunter before overwatch made it a thing
Artillery? Please I love being point blank with my BOOMSTICK all but decapitating things every shot
I started out main in world with sns, it is very mobile with fast attack and decent dps. It is great for status and elemental damage.
Welcome to HBG club
You still doing DnD stories? The videos seem to have disappeared from your video list.
I made them unlisted. You can probably still search them.
I enjoyed making them, but the TH-cam analytics did not enjoy that I had them on my channel. 😅
@@Airier That's too bad. I wonder why that happened. They were a lot of fun.
It was something new on youtube. They just didn't show it to anyone. And then since fewer people were showed it to fewer people watched it, and when fewer people watched it TH-cam took it as an indication the series was bad and started hiding things related to it. 😅
Yeah, this system doesn't really work. But it's what we got right now. 🤷♂️
@@Airier Man, that's a real bummer. Well, I hope your other DnD content is doing ok at least. I've also really gotten into DnD recently so it was neat to see you getting into it at about the same time.
I'll give you one last DnD story from my curse of Strahd campaign if you want just for fun. We went to a coffin maker to go do a quick side job to make coffins. When we were getting wood from the upper floor, 6 vampire spawn burst out of boxes and begin attacking us. I since found out this is one of the hardest RAW encounters in the entire module, along with the 5 shadows in the Death House and the hag coven at the windmill. Each vampire spawn has about 80 hp, resistance to nonmagical attacks and good health regen on top of fairly good stats and damage.
Our chaotic evil druid panics and lights a bonfire in the dry wood storage room before booking it. I get quickly mobbed, so my Estelle uses turn unholy to send half the vampires running before having to smash a window and leap out, using my aasimar wings to fly away. Our druid then stops to set the coffin shop owner on fire before fleeing out the building entirely. Most of my group realizes this entire building is about to go up in flames and take a few parting shots before racing the dashing feared vampires for the door. The vampires tried to grapple us to hold us in place in the inferno but we all saved all the grapple checks, meanwhile we missed all our attacks and did no damage to the attacking vampries causing both sides to just kinda harmlessly bump into each other as we all moved to the exits.
Our monk is cut off and has to leap out the window I broke, falling from the 2nd story. Our kleptomaniac alchemist tries to loot the coffin maker's bedroom before smashing a different window and climbing down the building with her simic hybrid tentacles. Our sorcerer, druid and theif beat the vampires out the front door and use wood planks and nails to nail the door shut behind them. 5 of the 6 vampire spawn are now locked in the burning building while our group gets in a brawl with the last one that is trying to flee. Our monk using Sentinel keeps the last spawn in place and we wail on him for 3 whole rounds before he finally dies. Then we see the entire coffin maker's house cave in and be consumed by the house fire. Our group has to flee the scene to avoid being caught by the fire brigade. That's been the most insane and chaotic fight of the entire campaign so far and it happened just because we were trying to do a part time job to earn a quick buck.
I think when people say this game is dark and serious is the fact or the point of the lore from when you read the lore and play the The game for in the lore it's dark and serious for they explain why there's no 5 hunters in a hunt because they've explained us in a lord story between 5 hunters facing a elder dragon called shang long it was defeated but in the rubble of the battle a huntress was killed and she was married to one of the hunters so in heavy grief and the guild it self declared that there shall be only 4 hunters in a hunt for they deemed it as bad luck if 5 were together in a hunt
I think heal guns started in TF2
bohemian rhapsody
bow-hemian anjinath
10:07 Bohemian Rhapsody reference my man
Healing ammo existed back in 4U and I think 3U and probably 1 and 2 too.
There are softer cactuses, and...maybe ones with mind-altering effects, media would have me believe they exist? If you snap a hallucinogen while it's in there maybe you'll have a better time?
SnS ranged weapon? In Iceborne its called Slinger burst only hunting (piercing pods for the win! Or thorn pods to keep things stunned forever 'thinks of ragegaming Proob vs nightshade paolumu')
SnS is a good weapon if you're getting your keester handed to you being hit using higher commitment weapons, and dual blades isn't breaking as many parts as you might like/you might not have a specifically elemented Dual Blades for the job/a monster has difficult to hit elemental weak points, or you want the option of stunning a monster. That's my takeaway. There's more difference in the Dual Blades Beyblade move, dodge patterns, combo paths and the SnS' Perfect Rush, but for the basic concept of "I can't even hit this thing, I'm too slow, can't get charge and not even counterattacks cut the mustard", SnS and Dual Blades are both your friend.
4:35 The crusaders crossbow from tf2?
Definitely should react to GobboVentures. And if you are looking for more channels to react to, might I suggest Reba Derps or Adin? Both are funny and have simplistic animation styles.
You should watch the mynameisgabe monster mash-up series
So did you ever actually go back to this game or was it all for talk? Monster Hunter world is personally my favorite game (I'm a greatsword main with over a 1,000 kills with it) it just made me really sad to hear you had a bad experience with it because 1- not knowing about the healing mechanics and 2- potentially not finding the weapon that suits you. In the process I would really like to see you find the one that fits your playstyle.
The overall gameplay takes inspiration from multiple game styles dual blade takes inspiration from games like God of War, insect glaive is a transfer from dragon's dogma, hunting horn is guitar hero and rock band, and both of the bow guns allow for third person shooter players. And if you get bored with a weapon or play style it's really easy to switch between weapons using the one to craft the others.
I am tempted, but the Final Fantasy 14 vids got me first.
Understandable thank you for taking the time to respond to my comment I will wait patiently, hope you have a nice day.
ur stamina is ur arrow shooting it cost ur stamina so bow-user use stamina juice alot to keep up the dps beside all the buff
sword and shield is a utility weapon it have almost not thing beside "a jack of all trait but master of none"
and all that un-sheath that sword and shield has was giving TO ALL OTHER WEAPON of after iceborne so the weapon has almost nothing now
it was sad but that the fate of all beginner weapon
@@leonshirogane5541 it has mobility high backdodges can still use items while out and has very high dps
@@procow2274 every weapon can do that now after Iceborne update
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Now if youtube were only more timely about notifications....
The overwatch character is called Ana
Oh yeah also you could have left in the Montage, the music he used is Public domain.
I shoulda said something I guess.
Please react to epithet erased!
Healing ammo has always been in the game even back when the original monster hunter came out back in the early 2000s
Also most of the story behind the games are dark for world its about hey this monster will destroy the world
If Capcom decided to give Oils back to Sword and Shield, I'm instantly going to go back using SnS.
Anjinath is flame pink t-rax
A machinegun... with insane recoil. If you don't keep correcting it, you will go from aiming straight forward to aiming straight up into the sky.
Aww, you skipped his two minute long murder montage.
Joecat is overstating the SnS power. It's a jack of all trades, but it requires a high technical skill, even by MH standards to actaully be used effectivly.
Still it's a fun weapon if you like the faster options.
Even Jocat himself says in a video that the SnS is not all that because of low damage and average speed.
@@ianesgrecia8568 low damage? Perfect rush has 340+ motion value
@@procow2274 not my words. Go after jocat XD
I saw healing people by shooting them in SWTOR
Long sword does get longer I checked
Oh, the S&S got gutted after Iceborne because it's only strong point, comboing slingers with normal hits, was given to everyone.
It got the Perfect Rush, which does comparable damage to the GS True Charge despite being easier to pull off and be cancellable partway through
Month late but yeah SnS actually got a *massive* buff with Perfect Rush, it literally became the (theoretically) 2nd highest DPS Weapon type because of it, it’s insane.
he Hypes up the sword and shield a bunch because it's his main weapon
ana her name is ana
Monster hunter serious? ...sometimes. but it is dark. I'l let you in on something. Do you wonder how weapons like charge blade, switchaxe, and the bowguns are made in world that it looks like it's technology looks above medieval but not modern?
actually airier, you did know that it was played up for the laughs. check his cleric crap guide video.
You should play more Monster Hunter World, even after 10 years of playing i still learn new things, even if those things are Nuances at this point.
Your enjoyment in the game boils right down to which weapons you use, if you dont enjoy the weapon then you wont enjoy the game, simple.
If you use a weapon but still get your butt kicked, then YOU need to improve, and when you stop getting your butt kicked, and you understand your weapon, and the monsters, then youll have an absolute blast, it wont happen right away, some people play for 100 hours before it clicks, but if you keep playing, itll click.
Edit: Every weapon in the game is excellent, there are no short comers, some weapons do more consistent damage than others, typically the damage goes up the less defensive a weapon is, there are no bad weapons, or even any "Okay" weapons, they are ALL fantastic, even the lance.
Now watch MHWorld shots: state of SnS!
Sword and shield? A weapon to surpass metal gear?
12:00 hes joking. monster hunter has never been dark and or serious.
The healing thing was ripped off from monster hunter
Watch Goobo Adventures 1 and 2
Sword and Shield was not that good.
It was not bad and the gigantamax was a nice inclusion but left a lot to desire.
Its considered the overall strongest melee weapon in world
@@procow2274 ? I wad talking about the pokemon games.
I'm pretty sure the sword and shield are the worst weapon in world
NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE!!!
No i wish the ignorant masses would keep to themselves. These misconceptions were bad enough before all the worldies came along.
God dammit! I wanna like but it's at 666 likes
Any weapon that is less than twice the character size is trash, you can't change it.
