Board 8 > Monster Hunter Gen worth getting if I have MH4U?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Have 4U, got to like the 7 star caravan quests before the stopped coming because apparently I can't get more Caravan quests without doing some of the gathering hall missions. This effectively killed a lot of the momentum the game had since I had to start from the easiest ones in the gathering hall and just didn't care.

How's Generations? Worth it for the new areas and weapon arts? Fighting most monsters in 4U felt prett similar due to the majority of monsters being dragons or whatever. How's the monster variety?

Most of the monsters in Generations that aren't in 4U are not Flying Wyverns so you'll see some decent variety. Plus there aren't subspecies (like Blue Yian Kut-Ku, Black Diablos, Molten Tigrex, etc) so you won't see near-repeats as much.

Styles are very fun. Hunter Arts are cool too but not as exciting to me as the styles themselves.


As for 4U, 7 star is only the start of High Rank, right? You've got a good number of monsters you've never encountered yet in that game then, so don't give up there.

You could also skip Generations and wait 6-9 months for World to come out

Also I'm looking up info from 4U since I haven't played it in a long time and I'm not seeing that Gathering Hall quests are required to advance in Caravan--you sure you aren't missing something else?

Gathering Hall quests are, I'm fairly sure. At least I've read some threads on the 4U board from people with similar experience to me and being told to that more pop up after doing some gathering hall. I've completed all the available quests, though it is possible if I jump around to different towns something may have popped up that I missed. I'll check that out more thoroughly.

Thanks for the advice on Generations. Before I make the dive into it I'll play around with 4U a bit more, especially since it sounds like there are quite a few more monsters I haven't seen. Just getting real tired of every other mission involving a Rathalos or Congala.
