Thats hilarious. Where's rule 34 when you need it?
Don't set out to change that.

In the US demo you can select from different versions, so I would assume so.
Link please
I'd give you one, but it turns out that there were no speedos in the image after all.
They don't have any bits down there. But I'm not willing to risk posting it.

You know, based on what Gigginox looks like, I'd have figured it would've been more popular with guys...
Who did the german localisation? (and for that matter, who did the other ones?) oichi obviouly did the english one, but I'd be interessted in the actual localisation team size.
already spent way to much time on tri the last couple of days in preparation for 3g. T_T
Very end game indeed

In Tri the language of the game was set to match the language setting on your console.
I guess in 3U it'll be the same.

I made potential box art replacements if the official box art isnt suiting you:

That's awesome
Could you do those for the 3DS cases, too?
Sure thing. I'll get on it tomorrow.
Jezas. I got a 32GB card myself recently. Really glad Nintendo didn't go the pricey proprietary route.
boooooo

I agree.

I agree.
Funny, I don't think he realizes how good a choice that first picture (they're fighting a boss named Brutallus in the Sunwell) was to demonstrate the difference between WoW raiding and Monster Hunter. Brutallus was a pure RNG + gear check fight with no skill involved - wiping because your tank wasn't lucky enough to get a shield off of a previous boss was a common occurrence. Back when I used to actively raid (sunwell was basically where I stopped) I used to jokingly suggest that all our members should be forced to play Monster Hunter as training. Coincidentally the ones that did play MH, never died to stupid shit.
Also, TERA did a pretty good job of translating a MH-like combat system to an MMORPG but man there's just nothing fun to do in that game at max level. Still, the fights where it allowed you to substitute gear with skill to a certain degree were great. Tank died at 20%? Just dodge the boss' attacks.
There is a lot of it. Do you really want to know?

How does progression work? Can you be playing along and then after 10 hours think "shit, shouldn't have done ______" because I'm screwed.
It's entirely mission-based, so once you unlock a mission, it stays unlocked.

You can repeat anything for unlimited times so there is no way of this occuring.

Like others have said, you can't really "waste" your time. The more time you spend playing, the better you get. And saves are made between quests.
The only time you might "regret" something is if you use an incredibly rare piece of loot to forge a weapon/armor that you don't want, and then save over that file. ~_~
There's no talent trees or anything, which is what you seem to be referring to.
Progression in terms of content:
1. You've got a bunch of missions with a certain star rating, you can repeat the missions as many times as you want
2. If you clear certain ones you open up an 'urgent' mission, which will be a monster from the next tier of missions. Once you beat it, you open up that tier.
3. Continue until you get to the highest tier. After that you unlock high rank, which has a new set of mission tiers. It features harder versions of those monsters, some new monsters, and new gear sets for everything. Online goes even further with G-rank which has even MORE new gear sets and monsters.
Progression in terms of your character is done entirely via gear. Defense and elemental resistances are a factor, but the big thing is armor skills. You get a certain number of points towards a skill on each piece of armor and once you reach a certain threshold (usually +10) you gain that skill. An example would be Earplugs which makes you immune to normal monster roars (which stun you temporarily). For Earplugs if you raise it further to +15 you become immune to ALL monster roars including the super loud ones.
You can make and keep pretty much all the weapons and armor sets you want. Only limitation is how many times you're willing to kill a monster to get more parts in order to do so (and I suppose box space but you get a LOT of space). You MIGHT regret wasting a rare material on a weapon you don't use much, but that's no big deal.
The real 'progression' though, is your own skill and experience. It's why I usually don't mind 'grinding' in this game, to me it's just practice.

Shit! I've ran out of money, blew my game money of that stupid fucking Sim City! Payday is likely the 22nd, but probably 12:00 at night, when do you think the downloadable will be available?
They confirmed the eShop version will be available at midnight on the 19th (launch day).

EU or US? I'm in South Africa (EU)
Confirmed for EU at midnight, at least.
I'm in Canada, so NA. For EU it is the 22nd, and it should also be midnight.

Cool bananas, thanks man, any news on the download size?

Fantastic, thanks for all the info! I'll be picking up two copies of this for the 3DS as I want my girl to play with me. How does that work if one of us gets pretty far ahead? Like say, I grind on the game for 30 hours, she just starts and we start playing together, can I go back and 'help' her with other monsters and such? Will I make it trivial?
Yeah, that's kinda unavoidable, especially if you manage to get higher-ranked gear and use it on those earlier missions.
Yea you can help her with monsters. The only thing is that she won't be able to play quests that become available at the next tier which would be available for you if you were to get to that next tier first.

Do you think there would be a real difference between the 3DS and WiiU sizes?
You can go back and play with her at any stage of the game. You can wear your higher level armour and it'll be easier for you, or you can just change your armour/weapon to lower tiered ones and then you'll be just like what she has.
There are no levels in the game, it's all based on your personal skill and what armour and weapon you use.
So you can just equip your old iron sword and leather armour if you want to when playing with her.
Oh sorry, completely forgot there was a Wii U version too lol. The Wii U version is definitely bigger. I think the size of the size is just below 7GB, I'll edit my post with the correct size after.
EDIT: On Wii U, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is a 6.07GB download.

Dearest Canadian friend, no need to apologize, a thousand thank yous and may your family have plentiful wealth and children.
Definitely! I hope it doesn't error out like the demo did for me when I started the download just when it hit 12PM EST.
Haha, you're welcome and thank you.
You can just put on low rank gear, or use a weapon you're not familiar with to gimp yourself. It's what I do. Either that or start a girl character.

That's actually good for me. It will be nice to help her until we both get better because this will be our first time with MH game.
What set is that? Looks like Bnahabra, but with additional pieces. G rank Bnahabra?
EDIT: I actually alway play female characters in MH. Most high level male armor sets look stupid.
Not sure what it's called, but it's made out of bug pieces (the kind you find in bushes and such). In P3rd it was a low rank set with awesome skills, but was a huge pain in the ass to get. I used it for basically the entire game because it looked so badass.
I have no idea what the stats are in 3U, but there's a Swallowtail/Butterfly armor listed under rare 5 and rare 9 stuff. So that must be it.
Certainly looks like it. Oh, and poison bombs make farming insects a breeze.
Huh, I didn't know that lol. I was thinking of including Tera in the blog but didn't at last min. Wanted to focus on games that are more different. Thanks for reading!

Is this game any fun when played single player? I'm not going to be able to play this with anyone else if I do end up buying it. And the demo was baffling--I hit the boss with a sword for 10+ minutes without killing it.
Man, I can't decide on what weapons I'll concentrate on. I mained LS and GS on Tri, love the SA too and I'm having a blast with DS and HH. Looove the bagpipes.
EDIT:
It's a lot better in multiplayer, but there's fun to be had in single as well. Personally I like to lone wolf it at times.
