Oh man the rare item grind has already begun for me. I didn't have any problems in Tri until very late game, but currently I can't even get 1 Brachy gem to get the tier 2 weapon. 25 Brachy kills and counting. Though I have been really lucky with Rust weapons, but I could care less about those...

Got 3 different Rust weapons tonight. Pretty silly considering it took me many hours to get just one on Tri.

No spoilers, but I watched a guy who streamed the whole game this morning/afternoon (I missed several hours in the middle) and that ending is fantastic. Hardest difficulty took him about 15 hours. Since I missed a bunch I'd like to read what people have to say about it, once people have finished...

There are more quests like the HR3 quest. Tons of double boss fights and even a few 3 or 4 monsters, but not at the same time. Finally got HR4 and my Brachy dual swords. Feels good man. Then I spent about 4 hours last night farming materials and doing offline quests because I realized I...

No problemo! And yeah it really is a dumb system. Gonna focus on my HR3 tonight. I'd really like to see what the Brachy weapons are like.

Yeah, its not entirely accurate, but I think the part that IS accurate is once its done focusing on you, you have about 3 attacks or so before the monster comes back to you. I did mention chained attacks, so getting attacked 2-3 times might just be part of the chain. For the person who feels...

Just to reference the 10 Lagiacrus for everyone else. Online, to rank up 1-8, you need to do a 3-4 key quests, which are usually all big monsters, which then an urgent quest which ranks you up. The problem with the urgent quest, which is probably my biggest gripe with the game, is the person...

Got to play a bit with Intrinsic tonight for a while, was a lot of fun. Just a tidbit on monster aggro - There is NO hard evidence for this currently, meaning none of the MH diehards have ever figured this out apparently. Some thought there was an aggro meter but that was debunked. After that...

Fixed.

Yeah it is hit or miss. I think every game I've had has had a person responding on the mic or in chat, but there were a few people who were slow, unresponsive, and one guy was a total leecher who just sat in base until the quest was done. Try joining a game with 2 or 3 people already in it, make...

Same as Man. Maybe not until 11 or 12 EST. I can help with some low rank missions if needed.

If it wasn't a FTP game and I could have the whole game for 15/20 dollars it wouldn't be bad, but you know they're going to milk it so hard.

Other than the fact that this is even being made, yeah no Android love is retarded. Lets see how many people spend $50 on packs or whatever they have to sell.

Yeah that should be pretty correct, just remember it is a Tri guide and some things have changed. Though the mining seems to be pretty much the same. It does not have any G rank stuff (highest rank), but that takes a little while to get to.

Well, when I said that I mean't as in ACTUAL content. You do lose the 'content' of playing with friends. Which is a great part of the MH experience. There is no exclusive online content for this game and you can go to the 'online' content even on the 3DS. You just can't connect with others...

Really depends on the person buying it. You'd be surprised how many people don't care about no online play, which like Sean said, the 3DS does not have. You could still connect with other 3DS users or a Wii U user, just not online. You get all of the content the Wii U game has, you'll just not...

Correct. You can do gathering missions in other zones, but the free roam is limited to Moga Woods. I'm really enjoying online more than Tri. Tri had a very linear progression, similar to offline where it gets harder little by little. It felt a little repetitive. MH3U throws you under the bus...

No bueno. Origin is assisted suicide and EA is Dr. Kevorkian.

Also, for all of you who are far enough to have gotten the Argosy ship to come to Moga village (or online has it from the start). Make sure you eat EVERYTIME you do a big monster. This gives a wide range of buffs from more hp, stamina, damage, defense, elemental resistances, or gunner traits...

I always wait to capture most monsters until I see them limping, though the bear has so little life that you could easily kill him. It only takes 2 tranqs to capture so if you hit him with more then he isn't ready to cap. Obviously make sure the tranq hits the monster and not a little...

ManOwarr - You can get the gathering quests online for the forest, tundra, and sandy desert to easily get that ore too. You might not have the tundra unlocked yet offline. That defense buff is great! I rocked the leather armor for quite awhile until I finally decided to just do a minor...

Pretty much exactly what Rezz said. The sharper the weapon, the less bouncing/deflecting (which hurts your sharpness A LOT), the more damage you do(sharpness has a damage modifier), and overall the better the weapon it is. The larger the color on the bar (ex: one weapon has double the amount of...

I'm going to be playing online tonight for awhile sometime after 8PM EST. I would attempt to at least take down Qurupeco offline if you're new to the series before you go online. And before you take down Qurupeco I would suggest getting a green sharpness weapon or you might get frustrated with...

I would kill a few big monsters at least. Great Jaggi, Arzuros, and maybe even Qurupeco who will provide your first challenge depending on your weapon. After that you'll have somewhat of an idea of the basics, but solo play is always good to come back to for resources and what not.

Haha agreed it is terrible. My friend might be willing to let some of us use his vent. I use it all the time but it is only a 15 person server and we have around 4-7 regulars. So we'll see. Unfortunately, I can't find my wifi keyboard to hook up to the Wii U and I've heard the voice chat is...

Wow glad to see so much interest. I might have to start playing online earlier than I expected! I will add you guys when I get on later.

EU gets a bundle, but from what I remember its nothing special. Just the system and the game together. There were some preorder deals but for the most part there was just ways to save money. Also, I don't think I've ever made mention of this but Monster Hunter was inspired by Phantasy Star...

Not sure if I would consider the combat JRPG-ish. It is more of a style of its own. Check the posted videos on page 1 for some game videos. It is grindy to an extent, but personally I don't find fighting bosses/large monsters all that grindy. The first several hours are the slowest and that...

Well I can certainly attempt to, but these are just my opinion of course. In terms of easy and hard, I would consider most easy after a little practice. At entry level of using a weapon this is how I would break them down. Before I say what I think is easy and hard, remember this is my...

So funny that 2GD is casting his own team. And luckily Draskyl is a good caster.

Yeah I heard that WKC is similar. Though I also hear Dragon's Dogma is similar at least in the boss fighting sense of the game. There are several PS Vita (maybe even some PS3) games that are similar to MH and they're usually Japanese ports of some kind. Unfortunately, Xbox fans don't get any...

Haha wow there is so much to know. Basically find a couple weapons you like and focus on them. Build them up and your armor up. If you try to build too many weapons you won't have enough resources to keep building on your strongest weapons. Don't be discouraged if you fail or it takes you...

I'm gonna start offline for a couple days, but around Thursday night I'll be doing hunts from 8-2am EST. Not necessarily the whole time but that will be the normal time for me. I'll add you later tonight when I start prepping for release. Wii U - Dellydeez

27 hours until the midnight release of the game. IGN gave this an 8.8 score.

And Monster Hunter. DUH. Sold. Edit: Though there is Paper Mario, Castlevania, Legend of Zelda: OOT 3D (remake). I would think MH and Fire Emblem are console sellers in their own right.

There are always a ton of deals on the 3DS XL. If you ever do decide to take the plunge, make sure you get the CCP which has to be imported for the XL. It will make the camera much easier to control. On that note, I bought a Wii U just for MH3U. I did try out Nintendoland and local...

MH4 is 3DS only, currently. Plus it has not been announced for US yet. The gamepad patch will be amazing. Basically you can play it like a bigger 3DS(without the 3D) and I would assume you could change the input on the tv to watch other things as the same time. Many Gamestops are having a...

Just how big the new MH3U game really is..http://www.capcom-unity.com/monster_...ter-3-ultimate HIGHLIGHTS Now onto some other nitty-gritty numbers, there are... 211 new quests (being 63 from the Village High-rank, 136 from the Port Tanzia G-rank and 12 Arena quests). New total is...

So excite.

The majority of well known and popular heroes are available, but you can only 'buy' so many with the beta currency.
