It's servicable, but makes an already big handheld even bigger and is probably nothing you'd want to lug around on travels. But for playing MH it's good, especially since it helps in longer playsessions due to being easier to grip.
I'd wager the full game looks better than the demo. Played both on my 3DS XL and there is a noticeable difference. Can't wait for my N3DS coming in next week.
I'm playing really slow right now, taking in as much of the new stuff as I can. Up to the first urgent quest now, having decimated every monster with the charge blade. Fights were way faster than I remember them in 3U.
No, I agree completely.

Just beat Shagaru Magala epic fight, really good music
Yup, you'd better not be arachnophobic. The Nerscylla is one creepy monster.

Been trying out the Insect Glaive and I really enjoy it, but can someone tell me if there's way to farm speed nectar early on? I got some nectar from rewards, and most of it is power nextar, which I don't really need. I want speed nectar that makes my insect fly faster.
You can farm lots of nectar during an expedition. Theres like 4-6 flowerlike plants (red/blue) from which you can extract 3-5 nectars. One expedition run should net you 15 nectars in avarage.

Its funny how I also bought Majora's Mask yet after playing about 30mins of it, I just wanted to go back to my hunting. I knew it would be this way anyway lol. Gonna leave that one for when I get my reading week break ahaha.
The localization in this game is just so good lmfao.
So me and my brother are having a bit of a problem with Local Multiplayer. We both got a new 3DS XL yesterday and have set up our connections fine but whenever we go into a local game the connection drops during the middle of a quest every time without fail, any idea what we can do to rectify this? Would using Online instead of Local be better for us?
8-4 always does great work.
Couldn't hurt to try online and see what happens. Online has been really great for me so far so as weird as it is to choose it over local MP give it a try, might work out.
Best line in the game so far: "........you and your eyebrows are my only hope"
The fight for me was "that was it?" when it finally down. I guess Lance moveset is too good for Kecha Wacha
Received my copy of the game today. Will write a review for my blog actually.
Anything I need to know as a beginner before I jump in?
Test every weapon and see which one works for you! Also try to gather a lot of material and resources then combine them into more useful items. If your combat skill isn't good enough, try to oveprepare yourself with items.
Of course, the newest and the best installment of the series in introducing newbie to the game.

My goddamn L button broke during last nights hunts. Now I either have to find a screwdriver I can open my 3DS with or try and find some store locally that still has a New 3DS in stock
Welp. That's it. Pre-Order canc...oh, game deleted. I can't deal with stuff like that, heck I just stopped my 5th try of Limbo a few days ago at exactly the same spot I stop every time, where the spider is introduced. I just can't.
Are the cats strong enough so I can just stare at a wall while they finish this quest for me? ;(

In the end I went with a female after all...
SnS with Bnahabara set and Scaly Sword for now. Sleep -> KO so fun.
Edit:
Sorted my item box for 30min. Capcom needs to finally add an option to sort these things in categories.

Just joined. Lancer here.
It will show up in the item chest after two minutes and you can deliver it to end the quest. The quest is simply for you to explore the area and gather whatever resources you want.
The cats are sneaky bastards.. they can steal from you out in the other areas if you're careless. And if they get away with it the stolen goods may end up in their cozy cave.
There's a 'training quest' for each weapon in the game. The bow is super cool when someone good uses it, a tempting weapon for me but I've never taken it far. If I do go ranged in a serious way it will be the bow, though.
I'm down, Charge Blade user named Karn. Just joined.

I just don't like all the shot charging. Not my style. I like getting in there and tearing shit up. Being recklessly in danger and using adaptability to come out unscathed.

So... the guild quests received in the gathering hall meant to be played with ppl locally/online? And village quest is basically your solo mission?

Bow/Gun are advanced weapons, especially solo.
I wouldn't recommend them to newcomers.

There's a Hollywood type coolness to standing your ground, charging and timing release just right to get it off to hurt the monster and not yourself. Bow probably a bad weapon to start off with, like all the ranged ones.
The longsword R spam attack does give you a cathartic burst of violence, though. And yeah getting up in and under the body of the monster delivers on the old balancing game of trusting your own evade skills enough to dare stay there for some serious hitting, but not so long you ignore the tells of the monster romping wildly. And since some of the earlier monsters are smaller and faster it's a good fit. The hammer strikes the right balance for me between mobility + close range melee and heavy power. But I did pull out the basic long sword you're given to break the Great Jaggi's frill.
There are arena quests there as well which you should try out on your own for Gladiator style wrassling.
I'm game. Haven't gotten very far in the game anyways
Alright. What's your FC?
Also, are you new to the series? The answer doesn't matter. I'm just curious.
The early low ranks armors are still a big pile of meh, I see. Might have to just whip up a set of Alloy for the Pellet Up skill until I can get to Lagombi or find a bunch of Nargacuga parts. And my HBG upgrade options aren't much better until I can get to Rathian for the Longfire. But at least the early low star quests are going quick.
