I love underwater fights. They are sometimes a little more difficult but the added dimension makes them interesting.
Caedeus is quite boring, Jhen Mohran mostly as well, Alatreon was just a very long sleep-bomb marathon the few times I fought him. I don't think I'd miss those if they were gone, but underwater fights are great.
IMO they'll never be able to showcase the merits of MH through a short demo. Not only is the learning curve going to take hours for new players, but they would also have to allow for the finding of materials and crafting of armors/weapons, which is half the fun.
They should really go all out and make a demo that contains the village hub, and maybe 2 locations with 2-3 quests each, ranging from small monsters to big ones, and the ability to craft 1 or 2 sets of armor/weapons using parts from those monsters. Add in online multiplayer on the demo as well and then people could really get a taste of what the game's about.
Seriously. They need to take a note from Etrian Odyssey IV's demo and just make the demo the single * quests. I guess people might abuse farming items at D. Island without paying for the game... but who cares?
This so much. Would be the be the best thing to happen for the series.

Yeah, but it must be like a 2% drop from it or something. Jhen gives it always in my case at the rewards.

Just made a room in free 3 lobby 9 called GAF help. Password is the usual. My character is named Axel.
I am free to help any and all low to high rank people clear some quests or kill some monsters whose parts they really need.
If multiple people come in, we start taking turns. I'm free for a little under 2 hours

Something like this. They need to capture the carving/reward/upgrade forging aspect of it.
What hr are you?
I like this thing so much it has become a system seller to me. If it were released on vita, ouya, whatever, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Btw, those bradygames guys should have a printed version of their guide, they're missing out on getting money.

Playing exclusively on the 3DS, I'm amped for MH4 and the addition of online.
The CPP solves the swimming issue so I just do those quests when I'm home rather than on the train.
Got really lucky last night doing the powderstone 5* quest and didn't bump into the chin monster on either egg run

I've never had trouble with those. I use a Royal Ludroth Armor (Marathon Runner skill) and gems for Transporter.
Yep, they're not coming back in 4.
Can't say I mind too much, but I have mixed feelings about it.
Send out some hunters using Hunters for Hire. I find that Steel Uragaan to be a common monster in Hunters for Hire.
I just unlocked Tanzia HR5 and haven't fought him yet. Can't send anyone without me seeing it first, no?
I finished all of the village quests so all the High-Rank monsters showed up for me in Hunters for Hire.

Room up, "Gaferific".
I'm done with this Giggi crap, I just need one gem to get the skill I needed from it.

Ah, I saw that you had a room up earlier, but it was full.

Was going to say something similar. Plus, the 2 star quest for fighting the G. Jaggi including being able to farm him and craft his armor. Then do something to show many of the other monsters you can fight or add another easy 2 star monster hunting quest after G. Jaggi like Arzuros but don't let the player repeat that particular quest over and over again - end the demo on a highlight...
That way the demo acts as the tutorial and who cares if the player wants to continually fight G. Jaggi over and over again - by that point the game either has its claws (pun intended) in you or not...
Sadly yes. But subquests as back!
The demo was fantastic for people who knew what they were doing. It's an easy way to play around with new weapons.
They should not do tutorial quests because that misrepresents the game. People would get bored. What they should have done was integrated the tutorial into the demo.
Have text boxes show up like in the earlier quests, but explain almost everything.

Oh no, I took a break from MonHun for a week and now everybody is better than me. I only just killed my Purple Ludroth. Now no one will ever want to play with me ;_;

Underwater battles suck so much, especially Plesioth. Had to fight it that way because I forgot to bring any frogs
It's so freaking fast and its charge attack has a deceptively wide hitbox.

Silly reboot where 75% of the content and multiple weapons are shelved for no reason repealed? Done!
Awkward water combat that adheres to nothing in the combat engine put out to pasture? Soon.... They've def avoided it in 3G, almost nothing was added onto it. Hell, I can't believe they didn't do SOMETHING with Hermitaur
It's been fun to watch all the goofball original design elements of vanilla Tri melt away when they failed to catch on and everyone just went back to MH2G.
Of course, nothing is proper until Kut Ku is back.

I just did all mine offline, personally. I always liked his armor a lot so I always make it a point to waste my time on him.
I'll help ya out if you need me though. Name a room and stuff and people will likely come.
That explains why Plesioth was featured so much in the 3G's Japanese press. They were showing how they turned they've back on water combat.
Actually, for a third gen kiddie like me, I'm hoping 4 brings back a few old monsters. Very happy to see Khezu. Hopefully they'll be a Khezu+Gigginox quest.

First foray into the Monster Hunter franchise, and here I am 46 hours in and completely obsessed. *sigh*
I guess I can't say that my CPP XL import was wasted, heh.
I feel like I'm going too slow, though. I'm only on Rank 4 at the moment, mostly focusing on finishing equipment sets and getting resources/commodities. :B

True! But really, Ples has about as much actual water combat in him as he did in 1 & 2. It's absurdly token. They spent more time removing creatures from water in 3G than anything. I don't think they're turning their back on it, but I think they know it grants a mixed reaction and isn't a good focal point for the series. Water and swimming should be in token areas and elements only.
Although I'll say I was really annoyed at the Golden Ceadeus. Ceadeus absolutely sucks, does anyone like fighting him? Put a Shen Gaoren in an underwater temple and make something fun, you lazies. (I am a big fan of the overwrought battles like Lao, Shen, Jhen, etc)
