I had to jump on the Target deal. Spent my $50 Target gift card on an eshop card which will make the MonHun download $10. I couldn't pass that up.
No, it's a bit of an old tradition, along with GS launching.

Ugh, just had flashbacks to PS2 days when random jerks would upswing me while I was trying to get carves.
The funniest censored word to me was "framerate". Really capcom?
lol what the hell? But the biggest question is, who would use the word framerate? People usually just say fps.
Is it because they're ashamed this game isn't 60fps? Seriously, they should be ashamed

Maybe not really griefing, but some people can be dicks in the game. Grabbing all the healing/stamina items in the chest so you get none. Running wildly into the group stabbing the monster and doing roundhouse attacks that knock away the rest of the team. Attacking you when you're trying to carve after the kill (some people find this really funny it seems). Going into a lobby and refusing to leave/afk:ing unless the group does a certain quest. Really wish they had upped the lobby size because the last one wastes a lot of time, or you have to go with just 3.
Day one.

So one day later and I have both the wii u and 3ds version, incase anyone wants to know its the Meijer in Michigan 16 and van dyke. They had 3-4 copies for both versions.
Read the manual. Try out all your attacks in the first area so that you get a feel for how long it takes to execute them.
Try out different weapons until you find the one that feels right. Sword and shield and double blades offer the most mobility so you may want to start with them.
Press home, and look at the digital manual.

Shadowbox animation IMO

Playing the demo. Goddamn I really really want to love these games but I still find the inability to cancel from attack animations incredibly frustrating. I end up taking way too much damage because it seems like my attack animation is longer then the tell-animation that shows the monster is about to attack. It doesn't help that on the 3DS the only camera control I can use is "L to Center"

I think that these games have a huge barrier for entry if you are expecting them to play like a typical action game. If you've been playing some like Metal Gear Rising recently, then the combat is certainly gonna feel weird. I do think you should give it more time, as the combat is actually one of the most compelling aspects of these games, it's just waaaaaaay different than what you might expect when you get started. Maybe watch some videos to get an idea of how combat should flow?
Well...you can cancel by rolling to either side or forwards, which also grants you invulnerability frames
be careful with kicking stuff.
once, back in tri, I kicked a rathalos to death by accident (we intended to capture it).
- yes, I am serious.

Well I've played the Wii game with Orayn before and after an hour or so of co-op I was starting to get it, but that was ages ago. Its not that I'm nessecarily against "slow but meaningful" combat, I get that your actions are supposed to have weight. Its just that I feel I don't have enough information: between struggling with the camera controls and having trouble recognizing that I need to dodge in time I spend a lot of the fighting just trying to get my character facing the monster with an opening to get in a single hit.
You can cancel out of most things with rolling, what weapons/attacks are you having trouble with? you can also press the monster icon on the touch screen and L will center it on the monster instead, which for me at least eliminates any camera issues

It would be nice if I could remap roll to L instead of B, so that I didn't have to shift my thumb from whatever attack I'm executing to an attempt to roll if I realize "oh shit I need to get out of here"
Thanks guys, I wasn't aware there was a digital manual. Should be some where inside the actual game anyway if they want these games to take off.
I was just playing the demo against the rabbit and while I killed him in one try this time, it's true that things can feel slower than needed.
This guy was hurt and walking slowly to escape, me with my long sword I couldn't even catch him, running then bringing out the weapon, he has enough time to escape.

Is there anything to this input lag? Causing a pretty big stink on the official forums.

What am I seeing here?
It's not like Monster Hunter games in the past set the high mark of hyper-precision when it came to their controls.
If it's not charm tables, it's this kindof stuff...
Can't wait for the "screen tearing" and "framerate" folks too.

WiiU or 3DS?

Unlike the other stuff, input lag is actually something that impacts the core gameplay though. If I'm understanding the video correctly, Ultimate is on the left and Tri is on the right. Both roll animations are synced in the video but the Ultimate player is pressing the button earlier than the Tri player. Not sure if it's a demo issue or not though - some clarification from those who got the game earlier would be appreciated!

I'm really hopomg that they bring the online app to the Wii as well. That would rock. Also, I've barely touched TRI because of a huge backlog, is it still worth keeping at this point?
MH3U has everything Tri has, and much, much, much more. With the servers going offline at the end of April, you'd be hardpressed to justify getting into it now.
I imagine it wouldn't work with the Wii at all, since it requires someone on a Wii U somewhere to be running a copy of MH3U in order to function.

This game has me contemplating a Wii U...
dunno what you are implying

Member
No need to contemplate, just buy it now.
Its damage output is indeed pretty weak, but end-game bows with the right skillset such as Adrenaline, Critical Eye and Attack up Large will make them pretty good.

Yea, they are weaker weapons. Well the bow keeps you out of harm's way for most of the battle tbh, the less risk you take yourself the less damage you'll do as well.

WiiU version. Didn't check to see if they had the 3DS version out.
*Edit*
Also, I didn't know we could have the sound output set to the gamepad. Now I can use my computer monitor cause the speakers on it is crap but it has a much better resolution than the tv in my room.

Is that a midnight release in in a particular time zone for America? European one has a midnight release even though the eshops tend to update at 2pm GMT or so.
FFFF, what?! Noon release EST?! Well that certainly puts a damper on my mood. I have that day off work and planned to spend the morning working through offline stuff before hopping online in the afternoon. The hell's the point of taking a day off when I can't even use half of the day for what I want anymore?!
