Well, this is the first MonHun that I've not left after a couple of hours, so here are my impressions:
Day 1: Well, the FPS isn't bad in my OG 3DS (not as bad as I expected), and the weapon tutorials are cool, I think I'm going with the Charge Blade, SnS is too normal, Dual blades are taking too long and the others are too heavy/slow, I'm not getting the timing right as a beginner. I thought about never using the cat because of FPS concerns, but he is helping me.
Day 2: Started to grind against the starting monsters so I can train my timing when changing the blade. Got my blade upgraded to the max before I hit the wall of not being able to get the items that I needed. A bit sad because the other weapons have so much variety and I'm stuck with the same thing. Also, the cat is starting to get on my nerves, but nothing too serious. His sound gets tiring after a while.
Day 3: I'm still bad but I can see a small improvement in timing stuff right like the charging attack with the blade mode, and the red shield buff. Killed a couple of stronger monsters today (this is relative, since I'm still in LR), and it felt good. The cat is a pain in the ass, would let him go but he is a nice dummy to take attacks.
Day 4: WHY CAN'T THIS CAT SHUT THE FUCK UP? I CAN' TAKE IT ANYMORE. Also, I cannot feel my right hand after a 12h+ marathon, but even without that the CPP has fucked it beyond belief. I don't think that I will like going from the CPP to the C-Stick, though, the nub looks like in a bad position, plus the ZR/ZL/R/L looks better in the old model. I won't miss the small screen, however.
In the end, I loved getting the game, never felt so many pleasure after killing a monster without a guide, only by learning his pattern. So far, Ioved that it basically says to me, everytime, "git gud", but without being unfair like DS.
And before I forget: fuck you, Kecha Wacha.
