So...

I haven't been able to find it...

Any discussion around the insect glaive and the charge sword and how they perform in relation to the more established weapons?

Nevermind...youtube for the win...

The insect glaive seems incredibly deep. o_O

I don't have the New 3DS but framerate is fine on the old model. It's pretty sweet while playing single player, it's not wonderful while doing four people hunts but, if you were fine with 3U on the Wii U, you'll be fine with 4U on the old 3DS.

Sooooo I went to a local shop and they don't have the game :/ place is flooded with Majora boxes but no MH, they told me I should check tomorrow. Yeah sure no thanks, just got it from the eShop, downloading as we speak.

Can't wait to start playing!

The major downside of having it ship to a PO Box: My Tracking number apperently doesn't provide active tracking with PO Box's. It's shipped so I know it's coming, but I pretty much am going to stop by the post office once a day starting this evening. (I suppose I won't bother though with the weekend thanks to no shipping on those days).

It's too bad it didn't release on Tuesday. I mean I understand that Nintendo has this along with Majora's Mask for it's New 3DS lineup, but late ordering always sucks for getting things shipped.

Although I suppose I can at least use this time to think of names for my hunter and Ace Palico. It might be hard without knowing what I want them to look like though. I know nothing besides that my hunter will be male and darker skin, so it may be best to come up with a name once I have the character customization down.

Sorry mate I'm bad at estimating fps on 3D games. If you have an old 3DS, I suggest you to download the MH4U demo and see for yourself, you can play online and test multiplayer performance.

If you don't have a 3DS yet, just get the new one.

Is the performance of the demo and the main game pretty comparable? I personally didn't see any huge issues with the demo in terms of FPS, loading, etc. I'm sure things are indeed smoother on the n3DS but there was nothing on the vanilla XL that I found to be actively offensive to my senses or anything.

Omg I just discovered you can organize the touch screen the way you want, just perfec

Yeah, it changes the on-screen HUD too, which is nice. So you can put the map down there if you want to free up space on the upper screen, for example. Be sure to get rid of the virtual d-pad to free up space down there if you're using an n3DS or a CPP.

Can someone explain to me how the online works on the full game? Can I make a room and let fellow gaf members join? Without even having adding them as friends?

And can I progress through the game with solely online or do I need single player?

I'm currently doing two jobs and get home at around 7 pm almost every day, I can only do a couple of hours of game play a day to then get ready for the next day. So I would like to just be able to hunt monsters with fellow gaf members on that small time frame, to enjoy it as much as possible

Yes, you can make rooms and have Gaffers not on your friends list join.

No you can't only play online. You'll just be dead weight on Apex hunts without the stones you earn through single player.

You unlock stuff in single player mode that is necessary for later hunts.

So do you recommend that I strictly stick to single player first and THEN online? And will it be obvious what I will need on single player and how to get it?

You get what you need through the storyline, in fact I'm pretty sure you get the second stone slot for beating the final boss.

Apex hunts don't start appearing until G rank so you can still go through low and high rank online before getting the stones.

Okay, I guess I'll spend my time throughout single player first, and maybe a couple of online as well here and there :) I just unfortunately don't have as much time as back in the day lol. But hopefully I can do a couple of low level monster with you guys tonight

Can't you just play online and rank up and have fun then play single player later? Wouldn't singleplayer be easier then? I don't enjoy hunting alone, multiplayer only for me.

Ah sorry, I figured it out and forgot to update my post. Go to settings -> account activity in the eShop to view your Monster Hunter receipt. There should be a download code near the bottom. The download code only works in the Theme Shop, btw. If you enter it in the eShop you'll just get another error.
