If you're talking to me, thanks, but I was on the 2 star quest, in the sandy plains. But I got help (just had to keep killing delex, which i had done, but hadn't gotten the guts...the percentage is fairly small).
Next up is capturing a great jaggi. eek. going to have to use a lot of stuff i haven't had any practice using yet (traps, tranqs, etc...).
Should be fun though

Best Wii game, and the best game I've played since Metroid Prime, both are rare pieces of gaming world, no other can't touch it.
Once again... CAPGOD!

Thanks for your info Skiesofwonder. It's still good to keep a list of the Hunter IDs together, but I guess it won't be used for direct invites.Skiesofwonder said:
The best suggestion is probably doing it like how the PSP thread did it: specific day of the week in specific rooms so people know where to go to meet fellow GAF members.
We'll work up something when most players have played a bit more (and the rest of the world has the game as well, gah!)
Edit: I actually thought of something really cool, but I'll see if I can make it in the weekend.

Yeah we most definitely need to choose a room/city hub to frequent that way we can always at least pop in to see if anyone is already on and ready to go. Probably something in the recruitment/open hub thing. Someone choose a place/city as our IT spot.
With the CC Pro or regular CC you have to use the Wiimote.
This is risky for obvious reasons. I remember rushing to log the Lagicrus in my notes when it showed up for the first time. Almost got bit, but a scholar braves any condition to study the wildlife.
Then kill it and wear it as a natty little suit.
And I must say that I am loving the hell out of this wireless keyboard; it feels so much better than my old one, and it even works with my Wii.

As soon as i saw that i was like oh hell naw never doing that. The quest that made me capture the monster was driving me insane. I SEEK THEIR BLOOD! But let me ask a question while im here. Are their specific special rewards from capturing that you cant get when you slay it?Brannon said:

I like CCPro style one the best. It's not really PSP style as PSP doesn't have double analog sticks. I'm going to miss the second analog stick when Freedom 3 comes out. CCPro style two is also good, it's the PS2 method, but I like having the second stick for the camera.
The Wii remote controls are kind of iffy, unless you're into the whole "awkward, inaccurate gestures should replace simple, precise, easy to chain button presses" gig. I am not. I'm fairly annoyed at the fact that they still try to force it on you even on a CC with help menus and monster scanning, but at least it's better than the bookshelf of confusion and guesswork from Freedom Unite
My biggest surprise is the respawning nodes and redone resource management. Conjoined with the MH1 styled meaning to everything, it really makes the game very well paced and full of life.
Farming was one of the few things that, even for it's own insular design, just didn't work as well as it should have in MH. It's so much nicer now when you're just fighting exploraiton and RNG rather than restart times.
I kind of hope they never let it get back to what Freedom Unite was again, there was just too much content, and it did really bad things for the pacing and balance. Cutting through Monsters at that speed because they had no meaning or place and skipping a huge majority of the equipment due to the sheer amount of it making it impossible to balance was not as exciting.
Although I'm still kind of lamenting the Hunting Horn and the Bow. Especially the Horn, that had such potential, just needed better implementation. I'm currently just using the same shit again; Hammer for farming and Heavy Bowgun for bosses. I kind of wish they had done a little more with the guns. The three part assembly is cool, so is the innate inaccuracies they can have but most of the melee weps have something that feels really significant. Like the short charge from the Hammer, man I get a lot of use out of that.
I really liked the Lance in MH1 (and I didnt even headlock back then!) but I still just cant' get into it. Even with the awesome additions. Counter is awesome and so is the dazing shield bash, but it lacks a certain savageness I've grown to love with the hammer.
My only real complaint thus far with Tri is that the resolution and blur are just ungodly awful on my TV. It looks really bad. Cranking the sharpness helps but then that fucks up the text. Ugh. I wish I had a place to put a CRT for Wii and a PS2.
I wonder what manner of horror it would look like if I had bought a PSP Go and did the TV/Dual Shock 3-out function on Freedom Unite.

getting on right now to friend request you!Insaniac said:
so i don't have to scour this thread, is Wii Speak absolutely necessary to enjoy/play this game? do a lot of people use it? i already have a classic controller pro and have store credit for gamestop, so, I'm considering the standard edition of this and Super Street Fighter IV.
GaimeGuy said:how the fuck do I enter pointer mode with the CCPro?
we need a "controls" FAQ added to the OP
Guess I forgot to answer the question;
when in a menu, look on the lower right of the screen and it will say " Pointer". That's when you point your Wiimote at the screen and hold B to make a targeting cursor appear.
I think you get more materials/higher chance for rare materials if you capture a monster.
My Wii speak seems to work fine in the wii speak channel at sensitivity 3. Plus you're supposed to sit a decent distance away from it while speaking at normal room volume. Not sure if any of those settings pass over to actual games though.
Also could someone point out the importance of the different Sword+shield moves? I know the shield attack can KO a monster, but not sure if one slash type is stronger than another.

Anyone playing right now so that we can meet up?
I failed that quest twice killing him both times accidentally. Pissed me off that I lost my subquest rewards.Nicktals said:If you're talking to me, thanks, but I was on the 2 star quest, in the sandy plains.

This is a good idea.
How exactly do you "scan" a monster to get infos on it? I've tried using the Pointer mode like they told me, pointing at monsters, pressing A or B while pointing at them, and still nothing. My monster data log is empty. How does it works? Aaaaah!
And man, seeing the Lagiacrus for the first time in that monster gut quest was scary. Especially when i noticed that bastard could also travel betweens different areas. I was like "Oh shit! I have to go near him if I wanna get out of here."

You have to open your Hunter's Note first, then go into Pointer Mode.Bisnic said:
This game is really fun so far. Just played about 2 hours of single player, my first MH experience ever. The demo turned me off, but I'm glad I stuck with my pre order.
Are there any video or audio options I'm missing? I thought I saw something about surround sound and overscan options, but I cant find them in the menu. The music is great innany case, and the graphics have their moments.

Gahhhh. I screwed up a long cap quest cause I fumbled my controller and opened menus making me slow to tranq. Such stupid bullshit all because of carelessesness.
Glad to have you back monster hunter

Man, that Great Jaggi quest in offline was a bitch. How am I suppose to fight the boss + 6 other jaggis around him? I already had to dodge a lot like 75% of the time, attack a few times, use a lot of potions, die 1 time, and let the Great Jaggi kill a few of his minions by accident for even hoping to win. :lol

Easy to say, "focus on the great jaggi" when you have 6 other jaggis attacking from every sides. :lol Like i said, dodging all the time, but still getting hit because a two hand sword is so damn slow i keep getting hit between each attacks i do. Maybe, i should go with a Sword + Shield for quicker attacks & reactions.
