Thinking of picking this up, is the classic controller the best control option?

Start with normal remote, see how much you get into it and then see if you want to pick up the CCPro. The reason I got one was because the Camera control on the Wii Remote was just really annoying for me. As soon as I swapped to CCPro, it was much better.

Only get CCPro if you can see yourself continuing to play after using the Wii Remote.

huh? why are you singling out GS?
I tried every idea possible and could never draw into a charge with the Wiimote.

If you know how, please tell me, because it's been driving me crazy. I just can't use the GS without that.

Well the store by me has a copy with the CCpro and one without it for 10$ cheaper. Might as well spend the extra 10$. And is the online community still active. And can you find people to play with without friend codes? Or is that the only way to play with others?

oh, I've never actually used the Wiimote for playing, so I wouldn't know. Was just curious.

Too bad, cause GS is the most fun weapon by far!

GS is fun as hell when I play it on FU. I'm considering adapting to CC (just when using the GS) to play with the GS too, but man, MAN, MAN, I have too many weapons already! I don't have enough lifetimes to get all the parts!

But um, most fun by far.. dunno man. Lance is pretty fun. Plus different monsters are more fun with different weapons (hammer in Double Trouble = omg sex).

Raise it like wiiboner and hold A. I only use GS and it's intuitive and fun with the mote.

upandaway said:
Edit: just so we're clear, I mean unsheathe into charge, not simply charge when it's unsheathed
Yes. I just tried it in Moga Forest to make sure. With a sheathed weapon pressing and holding A without a wiiboner does nothing, doing it with a wiiboner goes into a charge.

I moved from PSP to Wii and while at first I went with the CC for PSP style controls (+ the right stick for camera) as soon as I tried remote + nunchuck I stuck with it, since it's at least as intuitive with the subtle yet accurate motions (you attack with A, and sometimes with - but do different moves if you have the remote twisted left, right or up depending on the weapon, and some of the moves, like the slash + side dodge of the longsword, are much more natural like this) and I personally find it much more comfortable.

And yeah, in Europe there are often like 2000 players online across low and high ranks, you won't have trouble finding people to play with. I imagine there are more in the US (the servers are region locked). Get the CC anyway though, for games like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Muramasa: The Demon Blade and the like, which feel better with it.

First thing I did, but if you claim so, I'll try again tomorrow.

Yes, CC is the most comfortable solution by a mile.

That's a steal, go for it.

Online community is still active, even though I don't know how many lower ranked players there are. And you don't need friend codes at all, just hop on a populated server and play. :)

If you can get it cheap, might as well get it! I would suggest you do the Singleplayer stuff first before you jump online. Pretty easy to find people online, just go to open cities, look for number of players and you can join rooms with less than 4 people in.

Meh I think lances are pretty lame, they're just so damn overpowered with the counter and everything. I use them for some arena runs, and that'd be it.

Use all the other weapons except for SA, and uh I guess I'm an ok gunner.. at best

Yay HR 9 :D

I think they should have planned out the Online Quests a little better. It was annoying to finish them all and have to grind a few of them just to get the Urgent quest. Now I have to grind them more so I can get the next rank of Quests. :(

Aww, I should have moved up a few more steps. I was standing on the stairs clapping but I'm cut off by the chat log. Oh well. At least he didn't record us getting creamed by Alatreon. ;P

It's going to take a while to upload all the videos.

Anything special about the ala in event Q as opposed to regular old boring ala from 5* urgent?

Yes, there are some differences:

- Alatreon in this event quest is bigger, stronger, and has more health.

- You have a high chance to obtain the skypiercer item without having to break Alatreon's horns.

-You must be at least HR 51 to do the quest.

- You won't be able to get any timeworm charms, ancient shards, or hard and heavy armor spheres.
 
Here are the videos for the MHGAF Fishing Crew:

Are you guys going to do this again? If most of you guys are I might pop in and laugh at how terrible I've gotten.
Yes, yes, Boney, I was always lousy. :p

We are planning on doing this again while having a conference on skype for that extra voice chat lulz. Not sure when everyone will be available though.

Thanks for sharing! The image quality was more than adequate. The hunting quality on the other hand...
I kid, I kid
Wish I could've joined you guys. The room was full when I logged on yesterday.

PS: After the initial button press, you can hold down the button to speed up combines if you're making multiple items. Instead of pressing A for each item.

I know, the hunting part was Terribad! Same thing happened when I logged on, pm'd Nick and GAF hunters warped to my city. Had a blast playing with everyone, makes me wish other oldies returned to the party.

PS: OMG didn't know that! Hahaha thanks, been playing the game all wrong :p

Thanks for putting these up...on this one, I didn't draw my weapon until about about 4 minutes left in the fight.

There's a great moment starting a little before 8 minutes where jason was in a ton of trouble and i just sat there and healed constantly for about 25 seconds. He made it though!


Looking forward to hunting again soon!

I've been playing again recently, Alatreon down for the 1rst time, a few weapon upgrades done, reached HR53, got some event quest weapons, and discovered that I had been needlessly limiting my weapon selection to having two gem slots or more when I had apparently forgotten to fill one of my armor gem slots so I could have been using single gem slot weapons to employ their elements without losing any of my activated skills, yay. Now to grind for decent armor and weapons. Fun fun fun, show us MH4 already Capcom!
