then perish

If I was always "facing" the monster, how could I pick which parts I want to prioritize?

[AzureVizor]

I never lock onto the monster, I face it and whack it.
It's a lot easier and you have better control.

Someone doesn't know how to change camera settings it seems.

[hellatze]

You dont auto target.

You aim manually.

by moving to the side of the part you want to prioritize?

As hell said, especially if your using kb+m it's way better to aim yourself then use the auto targetting system, I hated it in 3U and I still hate it.

in 850h of playing mhw i used lock on 0 times
i adjust my camera angle with the right stick

[Hykaro]

i remember back in mhfu there was no right stick
only set the camera angle from the back towards the view of the char with one button
and even then i didnt ask for lock on
this isn't Zelda mindless slashing towards the enemy

Less hours than that sure, but I use lock on for two practical reasons.

1: faster than opening up the map to select what monster for my scoutflies to track.

2: literally life saving instant facing towards the monster on demand.


Everything is so huge so you end up with a scenario exactly like Darksouls when trying to lock onto anything huge.

My first time attempting to lock on in this game gave me flashback to fighting O&S for the first time with a claymore, where lock ons meant my claymore thrust would "miss" a milimeter underneath Smoguh's taint.

I mean.

There is only so much settings can do for lock on points being 10 feet above your head, and in only select sections of monster.

Are you so desperate for internet bragging rights that you're going to try and act like an infamously innefective lock on system is something to shout "I LOVE IT!" over?

Could be worse, you could be someone acting like not using a broken as hell lock on system is something to be proud.

"I didn't use the lock on system that makes it HARDER to cut tails off! I'm so hardcore for not handicapping myself!"
