Support NeoGAF

[EsotericManiac]

Sweet. I'll be trying both versions tonight.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

It says at the start that the CPP is not supported in the demo.

Ah ok, I was looking away from my 3DS as it started up.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Downloading the Wii-U demo now. This will be my first Monster Hunter experience. 10 mins to go!

 

[Sammy Samusu]

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?

You start with easy monsters such as Great Jaggi and Lagombi, by the time you unlock Plesioth you already know what you are doing. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but at least you already have experience from past quests.

And Long Sword is a smash button weapon, so yeah, it's very friendly. Hammer as well, not many moves and it hits hard.

Yes, the long sword is a fantastic weapon for newbies. Its speed and mobility allow the user to make up for not being able to anticipate the monster's attacks. And anticipation is really what the fights are all about.

I wish I could help with the question about the sword attacks but I don't have a 3DS or Wii U yet >.>

 

[deviljho]

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.

With some effort, yes.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

*smashes head on desk*
This is taking forever. 58%..I might as well nap for 5 hours at this pace.

Or maybe I'm just impatient.

 

[qizah]

Wow how much damage does the rabbit take. I suck at this lol.

 

[Codeblue]

My friend and I pretty much went through all of Tri together with no outside help. Can't speak for the extra content though.

 

[Ridley327]

Lagombi is definitely not a Great Sword kind of monster, hah.

 

[Delio]

Getting used to the 3DS controls slowly. Went with the dual blades first and did pretty well with the Rabbit.

 

[Vazra]

Downloading... Impressions coming soon.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Tried the 3DS demo, initially feared water combat based on the camera controls but then I discovered the lock on and all was good but my knowledge of how to use the hunting horn seems to have mostly vanished, still all that matters is that I was walloping monsters with a coffin.
I played much better than on the wii u demo, returned to see how much better I would fare against rabbit boy using a faster weapon, much better in this case.

just one more month!

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Thanks. Sounds like a deep game. I'll keep persevering with the demo.

Shame about the 30 try limit again

The game ships in less than a month. So you can boot it up every day until the game comes out.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

How long are the missions? I wanna know how long I can look around for.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Got the demo.

Why does Capcom like horrible fonts?

 

[Santiako]

How long are the missions? I wanna know how long I can look around for.

20 mins in the demo

 

[Ridley327]

How long are the missions? I wanna know how long I can look around for.

20 minutes a piece; there's really no time to look around, especially if you're new to the series.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

There's a digital manual by the way, you can see how to attack with every weapon.

 

[Phreaker]

Hmm, should I get a Wii U for MH? I have never played MH, but loved PSO...

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

I kill him faster and faster, just did it with the dual swords in less than 10 min too. What is the glowing power that you can activate with the dual swords for?

"Demonize" mode, which increases weapon affinity, allows you to sidestep instead of roll, and unlocks new attacks for your weapon at the cost of constantly draining your stamina bar.

One of them can be fought only in the water.

There was only one underwater-exclusive monster... in Tri

There's lock on?! I beat the Rabbit but never realized there was lock on.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I'm not, so i guess I'll just kill them off at first, and then just take 40 or so minutes to look around d:

 

[depward]

Looks pretty good on 3DS - very pleasantly surprised. Though, yes, the font choice is pretty fugly.

Wish this was a little more newcomer friendly. Digital manual or not, there should have been a screen that follows up after selecting your weapon that shows:

a) monster lock on button (definitely helps)

b) combos for the weapon choice you selected

 

[jmizzal]

Loved MH tri

This Demo is gonna determine if I get MH3U day 1 or wait

Mine is downloading fast, only 26 mins from the start

Is their a play limit on the Demo?

Will play Trine 2 Demo while I wait

 

[cyberheater]

Nope. I've been hitting that bloody Lagombi for ages and it will not die. Also not a fan of the loading between the small sections.

Also. I take it there is no health meter for the monsters.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Aww yeah installing now. How does it look on Wii U? Fairly good?

 

[Ragus]

What weapon are you using? It's really not that hard with either longsword or sword and shield.

No, there is no health bar, but you can see when the monster is getting weaker.

 

[cyberheater]

It's passable. Graphics is obviously not the games strong point.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

It's passable. Graphics is obviously not the games strong point.

Ah, well I'll see in a few. Any idea if it looks basically the same as the MHP3HD on PS3?

 

[cyberheater]

Have tried both. LOL.

 

[Kazerei]

Have tried both. LOL.

Don't forget to grab the items from the blue chest at the start of the level. Try using those items. Also, B button is dodge.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Download both demos even though I plan on just getting the Wii U one. Won't be able to play Wii U demo today so I thought the 3DS one at least would give me an idea what it's like.

Also, did Capcom just announce a sort of ad-hoc play for the 3DS game via Wii U?

 

[cyberheater]

Don't forget to grab the items from the blue chest at the start of the level. Try using those items. Also, B button is dodge.

Thanks. Two things I didn't know.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I think it looks remarkably good, crisp and clean on my 50" plasma.

 

[Tagg9]

Thanks for the tips. Maybe now I know how to dodge I'll have an easier time. >_<

 

[deviljho]

I think it looks remarkably good, crisp and clean on my 50" plasma.

But you wash your discs in the toilet... we can't all expect to have that fidelity.

Thanks for the tips. Maybe now I know how to dodge I'll have an easier time. >_<

Dodging is pretty important. Eventually, you'll be able to time them to get the maximum use out of the invincibility the evasion provides.

 

[Santiako]

The Plesioth destroyed me, fighting underwater isn't as fun. It's also the one time I missed a second analog.

 

[cyberheater]

I think it looks remarkably good, crisp and clean on my 50" plasma.

Well. As I said. I think it looks passable. Nothing special.

I do like using the WiiU pad for potions etc... It's a nice touch.

 

[likeGdid]

First time in MH3 (coming from MHFU) and I beat the snow rabbit with 3 minutes to spare

-Went with my trusty lance. Accidentally did some new moves (wide lance swing? And I think a shield bash?). Definitely got to get used to that

- Looks pretty good. Self shadowing on the monsters is very nice. I think the 3D makes up for the low resolution, but it looks like there's AA in 2D mode!

- Occasionally get knocked into adjacent rooms, but not a big deal since the load times are very fast

Can't wait to try the other weapons

 

[Korosenai]

It took me the whole 20 fucking minutes to beat the first monster on easy. It just would not die holy crap.

 

[Ragus]

Thanks. Two things I didn't know.

Did you try hammer? I just killed it in less that 10 minutes with hammer.

 

[kidko]

It took me the whole 20 fucking minutes to beat the first monster on easy. It just would not die holy crap.

In Tri I would often run out of time with 50 minutes on some monsters... usually a big sign it's time to upgrade weapons or find a new strategy to get more hits in

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Beat Lagombi in 10 minutes using the Switch Axe. Oh god how I love that thing.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Time up.

Almost killed Plesi on my first try with Bowgun.

Missed the second paralyze chance because he was moving too fast underwater, lol.

 

[TheExodu5]

Still not up in NA?

Can't find it in the store.

 

[jdforge]

Downloading the Wii-U demo now. This will be my first Monster Hunter experience. 10 mins to go!

Same here, looking forward to trying it out.

 

[Gianni Merryman]

The Plesioth destroyed me, fighting underwater isn't as fun. It's also the one time I missed a second analog.

Indeed the underwater parts are the ones where having two analog sticks is more beneficial, aside from camera controls.

 

[udivision]

Dang, I wanna join the fight too...

 

[TheExodu5]

Found it. Wow the 3DS store interface sucks. Search for Monster dosen't even turn up the demo.
