Never played a MH before... there seems to be just two moves (sword and shield) ?
Cheers!
Cheers!
Try pressing A and X is it at the same time
Choose Great Sword, Sword and Shield, or Lance. Bow for the first time is not a smart choice.
EDIT: Done.

For those using the bow, you should charge up twice before shooting rather than spamming.

Can I see the button layout within the game?
Also is there a real advantage of using the gamepad pro (wiiu) over the WiiU gamepad after all the button layouts are exactly the same...

This eShop animation is so stupid, they should patch it with the Pikmin transfer process.

Nope. No Sonic Bombs.
And its starting tO get quite frustrating. Fighting in water is a clusterfuck for me. Are there any bosses in this game that require you to fight with them in water?
Definitely. Still downloading the demo so unsure if it states that charging up your bow shot is super important.
Charge up your bow shots!

Hit it until it dies.
One of them can be fought only in the water.
Ranged weapons are harder to use from my experience.
Garry Whitta has an alt account?

41 minutes left on Wii U. 3DS probably has the same to go. It's hard to tell with just a box being filled up. :S
Hmmm, Monster Hunter on PSP had one analog stick and I loved it! Plus you can use touchpad on the 3DS as a second analog, works surprisingly well!

The 3DS demo downloaded fairly quickly. Waiting on the Wii U demo ... only 18% with an 1 hr and 05 min as the estimated time left.. 
.
.Monster Hunter isn't very friendly to newcomers, but I must say that after you get it, the games get pretty addicting. And if you revisit or play new games, they all essentially work the same way.
No one is at the beginning, particularly when you skip the gradual build up to the quests they put in the demo.
You'll learn and the people online will help you and in a month or so you'll be showing someone the ropes.
Edit: Assuming you're playing on Wii U I guess.
I just can't discern the gaps in his attacks. If he's not smacking me about up close, he's darting about the room like a loon. If it is his belly I need to attack, the opportunities to smack it up are few, brief and often from about a mile away. I tried the bow. It didn't help.You'll get better
The rabbit is very easy and now I can kill it with my eyes closed.
The dragon on the other hand...
Well, I hope I will have better chances with it in full game. Oh, and is a long sword a good weapon for beginner? I like it's range and speed.
Also, when using a long sword, A=light attack, R=medium attack and X=strong attack?

When you download MH3 demo, in the description it says "retail only", it has probably been established but is it not coming to the eShop?
The game looks and runs great on XL. Had 3D off most of the time as I encountered some ghosting with 3D on.
The controls take some time to get used to but the digital d-pad on the touchscreen works better than I thought it would. To those dug deeper to the demo is it possible to put item short-cuts to the touchscreen?
While the game controls just fine on the 3DS I'll grab the Circle Pad Pro. I just can't live without second analog, especially after Tri on Wii.

To those having a hard time, keep at it! My first experience with Monster Hunter was with the Wii demo which is apparently similar to this one. It took some time but when I finally figured it out I was having a blast.

played a bit of tri a while back, but how 'soloable' is Tri ultimate?
How about 'dualable' cuz I think my bro is getting this too for 3ds.

I thought that was strange too, but it's coming to the eShop.

R is a combo that uses the meter under your life bar. X and A is the dodging slash.

Every time I play MH lol.
I want to enjoy things, I do! I just need more time to get into the groove probably. At the moment its hard to figure out everything.

Awesome thanks for clearing that up!
Be patient. With yourself learning the game and with each hunt when your learning the monster's movesets.
Also, don't automatically think "how do I attack the weakest spot." First try to learn the moveset of the monster and spot easy opening on any body part. With experience, you will become more efficient.
I'd avoid the Greatsword because it requires more timing than the Sword and Shield (SnS). Once you get familiar with the speed of it, the constant sheathing and unsheathing and learn a monster's moveset, then it is easier to wield.

Personally I just attack whenever I get the chance. Getting any damage in is good, otherwise you might be there for awhile waiting for the right opportunity. Also remember to dodge. You'll get use to the patterns and you'll know when they're about to attack, and what attack in no time. Keep it up!

So, no CCP support in the demo?
It says at the start that the CPP is not supported in the demo.
What's interesting and unique about MH is that a big part of the game is learning your prey. As you hunt, you better understand the movements of each monster, the timing of your attacks, how to dodge, where to dodge, what areas are safe, etc. You go from being terrified of approaching a gigantic monster that can take a third of your health in one swing to rolling around between their legs and nimbly dodging/blocking everything.
The gameplay is a lot more visceral and complex than just "hit target till dead." The game literally improves as your gain experience hunting rather than by gaining experience points. This is why it's so understandably hard for newbies to get into.
