Really?
That's a relief

Well, people threw a fit for no reason.

Downloading both demos right now!
Believe it or not, he used to be way, way, way worse in the original Monster Hunter, thanks to how broken the hitboxes were back then. Never has there been a more fearsome hip check.

Is there even a slight chance Wiimote/nun chuck support could/would be added in for the Wii U version?
There are a lot of us that put in hundreds of hours using it in Tri and really liked it a lot.

thanks dude
I'm still too scared top fight the Green Plesioth. He does a shoulder barge and hits you from about 6 miles away.

Hell yes!
How about Miiverse screenshots?

I take back saying that I wouldn't be able to take out Plesioth with a bow. Managed it on my first try. Fished it out, beat the shit out of it on land, and finished it with a shock trap + L.Barrel Bomb underwater. Felt real good, I'm properly hyped again.

"Jump" downwards or upwards in the water.AFAIK now it has a pretty broad customisation and you can even map the camera.

Use the target button! Just tap the hell out it! It's so easy and fast!
To use the target button, switch it on on the touch screen when you are in the same zone as a boss and then quickly tap L once to target the boss. Beats the hell out of swinging the camera around manually on both versions.
I know there isn't right now, but do you know if it's possible to patch it in like they did with voice chat in Japan?

They fixed Plesioth's hitboxes but he's still an asshole.
Thanks. I want to get my brother on board, he'll just have to trust me.
I played the 3DS demo on a regular 3DS. WTF is up with the text? How do they think that is acceptable? The controls are annoying at best. Visually the game is decent looking. I'll wait a day and give the demo another go, but it looks like Monster Hunter just isn't for me. I wanted to like it, but the overall experience is not a positive one.

Killing him in the demo was the sweetest revenge I could ever wish for in MonHun.
It's brothers and sisters are now next.
First time with MH.
Moving the camera around while fighting is a pain the ass (will try the target button + switch as mentioned above).
Also while battling the "easy" monster (rabbit?) it got stuck near an exit and when I tried to hit him my warrior went to the near area.
What a is silly thing (especially considering the loading).
Also the surfing the rabbit did often was quite annoying.

So after trying both versions of the demo, here's my thoughts. I loved each, since it's the same game I had a blast with both fights, even if I lost against the second one. In terms of graphics, to me, it looks like they both are exactly the same with one at a higher resolution, like running morrowind at a much higher resolution vanilla compared to default. Textures, particle effects, I don't notice a difference besides the resolution difference of the Wii-U and 3DS. For me I did better on the 3DS due to the depth of the 3D image, and I love that digital Dpad.
Considering I'm not a very big online player of games, chances are I'll hold onto 20 bucks and get the 3DS version, even if my Wii-U could use a new game, I still need to get Trine 2 on it.

kill it coolwhip. kill it!
This is what I was trying to get at a few posts ago. The game isn't just go in and swing randomly. You won't get anywhere doing that. You need to do what each weapon is suppose to do.
With hammers, you should be doing the super pound to the head as much as possible and then the triple pound followed up by a direct charge again so you can skip out on the downtime after your golf swing.
There's so much to know about what your weapons best attacks are and when to use each attacks.

Those tail whips are still nasty at times
Thanks for the tip, the longsword was certainly nice, but the hammer wasn't
just tried plesioth for the first time (after wrecking the bunny a 1000 times)
killed it 1st try with dual swords. either they are way waayyy overpowered or they just fit my play style 100%.
so I guess I will stick with them...
This is my first time playing a MH game as well. Took me quite a long time to finally beat the Lagombi. I tried with Dual Swords first and that didn't go so well. Tried with the Long Sword next a couple of times and didn't get it then either. Finally I tried the Hammer and ended up getting him, with only dying once this time too.
It's pretty fun but I'm not sure how interested I am. If anything I will for sure get the 3DS version though. I tried the Wii U version and it just didn't feel as good playing to me as it did on the 3DS.

In MH3, to be an effective hammer user you have to charge-pound most of the time AND to make sure you pound the head to get a chance to make it dizzy.
spamming X is not very effective for hammers.
you use long swords for spamming!
i kid, i kid!

Gonna download this tomorrow. Looking forward to popping my cherry. Thanks 3rd parties. Your incompetence may lead me to a good game. Kinda like how I got a copy of AOE2 in a certain way and it led me to like the genre.

Holy shit, this game is good. I just don't like when the monsters run away to other areas. It just makes things annoying.

Wow, I really suck at this game. It would be nice if there was some sort of tutorial or something. Maybe even tell me what the buttons do before you drop me in the middle of the game? Doesn't seem like it is my cup of tea, but I can see where others could enjoy it.

There is a digital manual for both versions. Press the home button to look at it.

I want this now! Amazon has free release date arrival, so I ordered it there. If I can, though, I'll try to get an advanced copy somewhere... Don't fail me, Chinatown...
I'm a great sword user, good to hear I've been using it properly all these years, haha. Maybe this time I'll finally get to beat the high ranked monters. I must have put 1000 hours into this series, but I never got up to the highest ranks. =/ I get hit too much, heh. And I never read faqs.
So I played 3 on PSP, and I ran into a couple weird spots concerning the bunnybear's hitbox... A couple of times, it charged at me and just nudged me to the side, no damage. That NEVER happened in the psp version. Glitch? Or did they just make it a bit harder for the monster to hit you when you're standing to the side on purpose? Pretty weird.
And FUCK Plessy. =P

The real game is much better at hand holding. There are a TON of tutorials,and you have a bunch of gathering/explore the mountain/kill 15 small monster quests before they throw you up against the big ones. It's still a lot of trial and error with fighting the bosses, but the demo doesn't give you a good feel for the game. I would've had a gather quest, a bunny fight, and maybe a rathian fight or something much harder.
that's part of the fun and excitement! hunting!
