What? Where did you get that from? Read it again carefully, I never said people who play online have no life, I said online gaming - such as the feature - is just a quick fix for convenience but can never reach the awesomeness of real life people coming to your house. Of course it's not always possible - tell me about it - but I never said online play is wrong or so.

That said I wasn't ignorant in any way I just meant I'm jealous about the situation in other regions where it's easy to find people to play your 3ds with because it would be better anyways than online play IMO. That's all.

Allright then, friends and no offence taken.
Well you know what I think it's a shame that you have to be ashamed sharing a hobby with all sorts of people of all ages.
If I'm playing I really don't mind age if the player can behave, but for beer and smack talk I really prefer people my age!

You don't happen to live anywhere near Europe huh?
Damn.

nope im in Las Vegas. If you ever get to Vegas let me know we can play Monster Hunter! I wasnt going to buy the game but 2 of my lan buddies did and Im getting it now. it really is a great game although hard. I must have misunderstood you in your post I appologize for that. I did add your Friend Code though

Isn't this thread the same as this?

Thank You,
I still think it's shameful. I have decided to get the game since 2 of my monday Night Lan Party buds are getting it. But I was not going to buy it just on principle. Monster Hunter to me is best played with some friends and Capcom has made that hard for people who own a 3ds to do so.

Whose going to shell out 400.00+ dollars to play MH online? The question is for people who dont own Wii-U

...You know there's two versions of Ultimate right? lol

Yes I do, but neither of the threads say Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate WiiU or 3DS

I would've thought that the one in the 3DS thread was for the 3DS version...

...Well this IS the 3DS forum. >_>

Exactly this is the one for the 3DS and the one in the Wii U section is for the Wii U. Yes they are pretty much the same game but some people will only get the 3DS version while some will only get the Wii U and others will get both. Also the controls are different on the 3DS so its easier to keep people from getting confused on which version we are talking about.

Yeah, confusion on the system specific features. Since the 3DS version has Street Pass and downloadable quests (from what I've heard you can't download quests from the Wii U version, you can transfer them from the 3DS though), while Wii U has online. And like Tasuki said, control options.

Also forgot the lack of online on the 3DS as well.

So what do ya'll think of the demo??

Eh I don't care about online much for the 3DS version. This game is more of an Ultimate time-killer for when you're on a long car trip or something.

@Erica_Hartmann or anybody else that knows:

Will there be any streetpass or spotpass features for MHU? I believe @Erica_Hartmann mentioned quests will be sent over? Is that confirmed and is that pretty much it? Not that it's not enough, just wondering...i welcome quests to keep the game going.

Personally, i can't wait to get this day one...

From what I've heard about 3G, the 3DS version has downloadable quests. I'm not sure if the Wii U has them, if it doesn't you have to transfer the quests from the 3DS. Anyways yeah Street Pass is used too, though someone is better off explaining. I think you get the other hunter's character to send them out on "quests", not sure how that works out.

Is it my imagination, or does plesioth seem broken. From time to time he just stops and stays in place for a weird amount of time.

It's because it's taking an absurd amount of damage and is out of breath.

When monsters are out of stamina, they usually show it off somehow. Plessy tends to "phase out" or something and stands there for a bit. Back in Tri Gigginox did the same thing, just sitting there for a bit (though he just does it randomly, since he does something else when low on stamina).

Most monsters start drooling from their mouth they're out of stamina. Others change eye color, usually turning opaque. The obvious sign of fatigue is when the monster falls over on its own.

Monsters that have become exhausted are more susceptible to status effects, traps, stay blinded longer, will sometimes change areas to eat, and if it's weak to Sonic Bombs you can spam them until they go back to their enraged state.
