Khezu will forever be MH's greatest penis monster.
Yeah, you don't see Brachydios popping up in H-manga like Khezu does.
Speaking of, it is never a good idea to GIS Khezu for this reason.

If you're buying a system for the game go for the far superior version? Wii U vs 3DS version is hardly a competition
I have no local people to play the game with, so that's a bummer. But I had a 3DS a while back and was able to get regular street passes when I went out shopping and such. The Wii U Pro Controller remote play seems pretty solid, but I imagine it's tough to play on that? The initial cost of the Wii U + game is also significantly higher, especially when you consider the fact that Sunday starts the 3DS XL sale...

I called my Target and asked, and I got a chick who said they had the Wii U version but not the 3DS one. Then I read this post and thought "Woah, better reserve that". I called back and got a guy who said they didn't get any in today. I told him the chick actually saw a copy in the display and he told me she was wrong. Ugh, I hate idiots. How hard can it be to get a game on release day in fucking Chicago?

Khezu >>>>>>> Gigginox
Let's see.. Khezu is uglier - there's no debate to be had about that. And his electro shock spamming is the most annoying attack in FU, so.. no, Giggi ROX this battle.
Don't worry. There are more of us here -- 3DS only players. We can talk about our hunts in this thread and pretend we're in it together. When MH4 rolls around without a WiiU port we'll be the master race.

You should do a few single-player quests first, to understand the game, how to carve, forge armors, weapons, etc. If jump online right from the start you might feel... lost.
You start in a small village and progressively push out, fighting monsters as you go. The early stuff is gathering and basic hunting. Then they push you towards your first large monster. Beat that and it pushes you out again. You will have a mix of gathering quests surrounded by hunting.
SP and Online are different and most of the content is for Online, thought you can have your own room and solo the stuff you want.
StreetPass :lol
Single player will take you through a long set of tutorial quest. It will also allow you to unlock the farm and fishing fleet, which are both used for item gathering. You'll basically have the same Quest in both single and multiplayer though. Jump into which ever one you want, although single player will take it slower, if you find online overwhelming at first. The demo didn't teach you about gathering, crafting, carving, or anything of that sort, and single player will walk you through it all.
Online, all monsters are pumped up a bit (in terms of HP, and I think strength), to compensate for the fact that there's more people. You can still do the online quests by yourself, just be aware of the increase. Rewards tend to be better online though.
I don't have the game yet, but if its like previous MH games, the offline and online quests are different.
I would start with offline, do enough quests to build yourself up, then hop online.

4 boats later still unsure if I got table 7 or 10.
Capcom please dont do this ever again.

So if you do the charm 10 table trick do you have enough time to properly make your character the way you want or are you rushed to click create character at the right time?
Stuck waiting at work til I can get my copy tonight
the thing is, even if time was tight, which it isnt since the charm table is generated at the start menu if i'm correct?
you can always turn the system clock back another 5 min and you'd have an extra 5 min to tweak your character

You have to press New Game at the right time, that's it. You can take your time to create your character.So if you do the charm 10 table trick do you have enough time to properly make your character the way you want or are you rushed to click create character at the right time?

I was under the impression that it's determined as soon as you hit New Game, so there shouldn't be any rush at all as long as you hit the New Game at the appropriate time.

Just give yourself plenty of time to load up the game after setting the clock. You have a three second window to click NEW GAME, but as long as you've given yourself a little breathing room (and have your timer set correctly) it shouldn't be a problem.

Worry about them if you see yourself playing the game for hundreda of hours and like to minmax.
It HAS to be done at the start.

The charm table is a randomized set of charms you are assigned to when you create a character.
If your new, dont worry about it. Its really for serious hunters who want the little stat boosts.
It's not going to prevent you from beating the game. Nor will it make the game harder if you dont have them.

I'm so tempted to just go 3DS only simply because the Wii U has no other games that interest me. I want to play online since Tri was SO fun online, but I DO think that the portability is more desirable to me than the additional cost. And if I wait 5 days, I can get it at a super killer price, too.
Lance and gunlance with the guard+2 armor skill made short work of a khezu. Electro shock spam is still hilarious and less of a pain than ura or gravios doing their explosive gas discharge.
Even though I'm making a big fuss about it, its only because I'm a completionist.
The big issue with the charm tables is that out of the 16 tables, 2 of them dont give Rust Shards, which are used to make certain sets of armor. If you're unlucky enough to land on any of those two tables, there's no way to get the armor at all, other than scrapping your save and starting all over.
Another issue with the tables is that 5(?) of them only have about 200 charms, compared to the 2000 of the other tables. Those are the "cursed" tables. Although if you want to look it at another way, you have a 1 in 200 chance of getting a certain charm on that table, as opposed to the 1 in 2000 chance on the normal tables, so it might be good, in a sense.
Myself, I don't really care about the cursed tables, I only care about the stupid Rust Shards, so that's why I'm making a big fuss over the charm tables.

I've been avoiding the charms table talk in here because I don't understand it, but damn, that sounds pretty crappy(the rustshard/armor bit). So, when I start the game how do I know which tables would send me down that path and how do I avoid them? I don't care much beyond that(I think...) but having limited armor sounds like a bummer.
Hub area that acts as a base. Talk to quest giver. Start quest. Roam around quest area, finish quest. Go back to hub. Repeat.
Yeah, I think a lot of people are assuming the fuss is because of the cursed tables, not the Rust Shards, so not a lot of people are understanding what the deal is. I could give a rats ass about the cursed tables. As long as I get the Rust Shards, I'm golden.
Although bear in mind, this is like, late game armor, I believe. So its not like you're going to be gimped for most of the game.
The annoying part about figuring out which table you're on, is that it takes about 1 HOUR. You have to slog through an hour's worth of gameplay, to gather enough charms to cross check with the tables.
Eeeh, this month I'll pick up Ninokuni and Luigi, no MH for me (especially since I have just a 3DS, no Wii U) So envy of each and everyone of you!
P.S. Have there been seriously midnight launches speficically for MH at some Gamestops or were there just for GOW:Judgement, with possibility of picking up MH3U too?

Oh wow didn't notice the touch screen changes when you go into options ha

Sorry, a bit of a thread derail-
I need to free up space on my SD card for this game. I'm going to erase Paper Mario from the card, but I want to somehow keep it's save file.
Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that I can back up save games by copying them to my PC. I plugged the SD card into my PC, but I just see a bunch of directories named "1000344" and similar.
How do I actually copy my Paper Mario save to my PC?
(I did a bit of googling, but I couldn't find a straight answer)

I dont think there were any. Although I did go to a GoW launch event to pick up my copy and there was another person there who did the same.
Debating whether or not I'm going to grab both versions. I was really leaning towards both so that I could continue my save file while I take the bus to Uni, but I was just wondering how seamless the transfer was between the two versions? Does anybody know yet?
Also, if I grab the 3DS one, do you guys think I should grab a circle pad pro as well? I played the demo using the standard controls, and while I didn't like it too much, I honestly didn't really play it long enough to give it a fair chance. While I'm sure it's fine, am I better off grabing a CPP as well?

My problem with khezu isn't the blanka shock, which he does use MUCH MUCH more frequently than gravios or uragaan use their gas. It's the long range electric blast. For non-guarding weapons you need to actually dodge them completely, which can be REALLY hard at g-rank when he gets insanely fast splitting lightning. And if it hits you, you're done - paralyze into his fat ass jumping on you. Other monsters' projectiles can be avoided with the superman dive...but guess what, Khezu can't 'see' you so you don't have access to it.

Is there an ETA for the eshop version or are we dealing with nintendo's version of grace chen time? I'm new to release day eshop-ing.
Transfer should be painless.
CPP isn't really necessary I think. From my experience with the demo it could make roaming around a tad more comfortable, but in fights I don't see it, because the target cam does what you want - keeps the monster in sight, even underwater. Maybe when you have multi-monster fights (even though you can change focus on the touch screen) it could be of help.
Having said that I did buy it because why not?
