Monster Hunter 3 Tri Official Site Updated

I need Classic Pro impressions! How much better is it than the normal classic? Is it worth dumping my 4 and importing these new babies?

Want!!!!!!!!! I want to see some Heavy Bowgun action though or Hammer.

I guess since the game just released, people are still getting their groove on. SnS has always been the starter weapon for most players.

That is true. Bowgun would be too expensive for them to use right now.

I'd like to see people use the new Slashaxe. Gonna go out on a limb and assume its going to take some time for people to start using it.
 
do you think it would be a bad idea to import this game, or do you think the online would just be abysmal (connecting to japanese gamers)?

why am i watching three dudes sleeping at a picnic table
He just spent quite a bit of time time trying to zoom into the crotch area of his female PC while waiting for his quest buddy. There's apparently an emoticon that lets you sit down with legs spread wide. Heh.

Before that stupid gathering quest there was some awesome stone lizard pwnage though. I guess you just can't predict how things will turn out.

Good to see that I'm not the only one with inventory problems though. I always want to carry more than what is allowed. I blame OCD wrt gathering/crafting.

Man, watching others play is so awesome. Yay internet, yay technology. :)

I wonder if he's intentionally purchasing leggings that don't actually cover anything waste down. Noticed that as he was browsing through the armor selection :lol
 
Note to self: Mute stream when females are present. They just played around a bit (arm wrestling etc) and the resulting cacophony of grunts and moans of the female PCs was decidedly NSFW if you don't know what's going on... :lol

Yeah, i noticed that too. :lol
 
Oh yay. They found out how to do some virtual fellatio. One guy lies down on his back, the other does the defeated emoticon where the character drops on all fours, and the idle animation takes care of the rest.

At least it's another MMO/Online game staple. See, who says Nintendo online can't be state-of-the-art. ;)
 
Does this game have a sort of "town" or "hub world" where any player can meet up with other players? I know that only four players can actually go out in a party together, but will I see people running around the main town, buying items, chatting with each other, and making parties of their own? Or will I only see NPCs once I'm in the game and party making is handled through a match making service on a menu?

In other words, does this game have a lobby full of lots of online players, similar to, say, Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst?

the online works fine, it worked fine in MHG connecting from the US

The hurdle for importing is figuring out what the quest objective is because its all in JP unless you have someone helping you or a FAQ

Yes there are lobbies full of online players like PSO.

Famitsu Review Comment from 1Up:
Within the reviews themselves, Famitsu's editors had nothing bad to say at all. "The maps and monsters have been completely remade, making things fresh," one wrote. "The classic Monster Hunter feel grabs you the more you play. Old and new mix equally here, and it's been refined, deepened, and brought to unimaginable heights."

Another writer agreed. "The controls and gameplay has been refined and are pretty kind to players. Exploring the new maps is more fun than I thought it'd be; even hunting for mushrooms is exciting. Of course, hunting the new monsters is a constant stream of surprises, leaving me incredibly satisfied. The unique parts of online mode are good, but the single play here is just amazing." And another: "Although everything here is new, the Monster Hunter atmosphere is unchanged. Underwater hunting is a little bewildering at first, but once you get used to it, the whole hunting process is a little more fun. Lots of little things have been improved upon, and the intensity of running into a monster is unparalleled."

Yes the game deepened and I truly agree.
 
Tenbatsu, that's easy for you to say. :(

It's really amazing how this game made me play MHF2 on the PSP. Tbqh the game didn't appeal to me at all when I tried it for the first time. And the second, third, fourth,... (it's my only PSP game). Now I'm playing it pretty often, and I'm even enjoying much of it.

I'll be properly burnt out from Monster Hunting by the time MH3 gets released around here. :(
 
I just got my copy today! :D

I was talking to some others who said Capcom increased the servers by 2x after launch so there are now 12-18 servers running.

Tenbatsu have you seen that?

Haha, I think after you are done with MHF2, you can get ready for MH3 which is maybe another 1000hrs of playtime.

Welcome to MH3! :D
I just know I saw a lot of people online almost every time I log in and there are certainly more servers than Dos period. Btw if your jap Wii new?

No online thou. You need a JP Wii to get online or rather a JP Wii Shop Channel.

Well you can change you Wii Shop Channel to the japanese one using homebrew, although I don't know if there's any risk involved.

You can change your Wii Shop Channel but you will lose everything you ever downloaded on the US side. You basically have to delete your Wii Shop Account as if you were selling your Wii. There are tutorials on how to do it on youtube.

I play co-op with my brother so I wont be going online till the US version comes out
 
got my 3 dragon heads in today. They are really well made! although, the material is a soft rubber/plastic, and not hard like the image made it look.

That actually sounds awesome. I have a european Wii and most of the games on the EU VC are crappy PAL conversions, so I haven't bought any yet. Is there any downside to changing the region of the Shop Channel?

edit: maybe this discussion belongs in the Wii homebrew thread, I'll ask my question there.

I went from US Shop -> Japanese Shop -> US Shop, and I logged in at that step to download Everybody Votes and it worked fine. You lose your points and downloaded VC games everytime you switch though.

Wonder if we need a thread in the Online forum for the few of us that are playing online to exchange IDs, cordinate, etc.
 
so i have ran around the one hub land a few times, but can't figure out how to start accessing the quests. does anyone know what to do?
 
First come first serve...

R2K1 ES5R E6Z0 E22W

I ordered a Classic Controller Pro but can't use the registration code, I'm sure someone here can find a use for it.

Enjoy!

The game is now divided into 2 sections, Star quest missions on the left and Moga Forest on the right. Star Quest missions are basically like past MHs while Moga forest is where you collect points for unlocking quests/upgrading village etc. Simply do what the village chief told ya to and you will unlock the Star quest missions.
 
This is one of the few Wii games that I'm interested in. I own a Wii, but haven't been able to really get excited about many upcoming games. Since it's announcement though I've been interested in this, even though I've never played a Monster Hunter game. It's set for 2010 release in the US right?

Once again, tentatively March 2010.
 
Having fun with the game, but man, the offline arena quests are hard single player. Only have beat the 'goal' time on the first one, can easily beat the second one but nowhere close to the goal time (something like 4 minutes off), had a tough time even winning the 3rd one, and just plain stuck on the fourth one...

This many hundreds of hours in, I really don't feel like I suck at Monster Hunter... Maybe its because these monsters are nearly all-new...

are you talking about when you go into the field, and there are a couple of pages of dialogue?

I can't read what it says, but we tried going through and killing everything, to see what would happen. There is a run down camping spot, which I thought maybe you need to gether materials to rebuild it?

anyways, any specific help on what I need to do to unlock star quests would be great!
 
got the Monster Hunter 3 + black Wii bundle :D

new to the series. playing offline quests right now. (2*)
can't wait to get more items to upgrade my basic armors / weapons
Hammer Hammer Hammer~

if I have friends playing this game, do we have a friendcode system so that I'll log on the same server as my friend's?

If I remember correctly, the first thing you need to do is to go find the village chief's son at the run down camping spot. After that you go back to the village and talk to the village chief's son who should be back at the camp and he will tell you to gather some materials for him.

You can log online and add your friends to your friends list using the unique online ID code. Then you can always jump to where your friends are next time.
 
Does anyone know what the special quest where you kill the two sunflower heads at once will get you?

The Jaggi one gets you a Jaggi head that boosts your end of quest loot, but I don't know what the other one gets you.
