Monster Hunter 3 tri
polycounter lvl 17
Anyone else from polycount getting MH3tri (state-side). This will be my first time with the series, although I did play through the demo that was released a little while back.

I'll be picking it up, too.
What makes this game great (besides the monster behaviors & armor/weapon creation system) is the multiplayer. Get yer feet wet with SP, and get the move on to the MP.
We should make a polycount MH3 group!
psh leave the head locking to the lance users.
ohsnap!!
I'm on the fence.. but I know a lot of people at work are getting it, and some of you guys are.. plus the online is free.. and I enjoyed the psp ones. I just don't have the crazy amount of time it needs to actually enjoy it to it's fullest...
...buttttttttt Amazon has the standard edition for 45$ -10$ rebate. so I can essentially get it for $35. I think my regular classic controller should do fine.. yeah?
Looks like haz and I won't be getting it until we land in the US next week. So leave some rathalos for us, k?
P.S Lances are for girly men. Now a Gun Lance... thats a man's lance.
I was pleasantly surprised!! I don't think I'll get this game at release, but certainly something I'll think about picking up when I'm looking for a good game to play.
perfect timing, my friend just moved in and brought her wii
/Edit. One here.

The next version of insanely popular Japanese game series Monster Hunter for the Wii is going to only be available for gamers who pay a subscription fee. Capcom will be charging Japanese users $8 will for the honor of playing Monster Hunter 3 on the Wii for a month. $15 will pay for 60 days and $20 will buy three months.
I doubt the fee schedule will come to the U.S. for this game, because who would pay a monthly fee for Monster Hunter?

joking aside, Monster Hunter does set the animation bar pretty high; it's arguably one of the best animated games in the industry.

Here is another great read. I learned a few key things from the following link. First and foremost, you don't compete for drops. Everyone has the same number of drops/cuts at a fallen foe. That (should) be a boon to those of us with less time on our hands.

all nice stuff to hear still would be cool if there was connection between the weapon and the flesh maybe we are a bit far off that. The animations I did see were pretty cool just not the collision detection.
hahah weapons do slow down if they hit a "meaty" part. That's how you know you have done critical damage. I feel a bit ripped off with the western version as all the blood and splashes have been dulled. The blood in the Japanese versions really adds to the effect you are doing some serious damage to an enemies weak point.
All the video reviews I have seen have all been played by... well newbs. heh. They all have pretty weak weapons and they never seem to hit any monsters weak points. Also they always hit with the tip of the blade which is the worst place to hit stuff with as the damage output is lower. Because of this you wont see them stagger and much (or at all) you really need a higher grade weapon to get them to stagger and flinch more.
You really should try the demo if you can. If you have a psp, I think the psn store still has a Freedom United demo up which you can also play.
Also dont use a lance, use a GreatSword or a Hammer, they will help with critical damage and deliver the massivest meatiest bloodiest blows to monster weakpoints as possible.
I think we play MH too much pre... what are we up to... like... 1000 hours between us ? on MHP2G alone!
Shut that filthy whore mouth of yours right this minute!
BAHAHAHAHA!!!!! You know its true!! at LEAST use a gun lance, Wyvern Fire FTW!! :P
[ame]
will be playing after LOST!
put this shit on xbox!! wtffffff
Maybe finally a reason to turn on the Wii.
Will post my friend code (capcom code) here, once I get it. Maybe I'll get a chance to hook up with some of you mongrels later on in the week

will post my id here once I unlock that part
Why, WHHHYYY does this have to be on the Wii, and not support modern-day television resolutions. I'm going to keep playing, and have fun, but ffs... it bothers me to no end that i know it could be 20000 times better on the xbox, or ps3.
Seems pretty addictive so far, controls are much better than on the psp!
Single player is ok, but I'm a bit miffed with all the shoebox type level loading. The menu system is really clunky too. Overall game is fun but if multiplayer doesn't work for me after a couple more tries I'll be returning it.
UPDATE:
I just want to point out that Sectaurs and I were finally able to get a game up and running together last night. So my opinion of the game has improved however i must say trying to get a group together for a quest is so ass backwards, once we figured it out we were hunting like pros:)
We kept getting a error code:11688
We tried all the easy fixes to no avail
changing channel to 1, or 11
turning wiiconnect24 off then on
What did work:
Setting my Wii up on a DMZ through my router
While this isn't the best thing to do IMO it works and we were instantly playing the game together.
Here is a pretty generic how-to for those that may run into this error code:

It's for a linksys but I got it to work just fine with my Belkin N1 Vision Wireless
peace
