Topic: Monster Hunter 3DS

Yay for rumors.

I was gonna mention that in the video the weapons seem to get bigger when they're fully charged, I guess that's easier than little flashes.
_{oh and awesome shadows}

Still a reasonable release date though, even if it isn't real, lol. I think they just made the weapons change shape when charged just for cool looks, you know...like Jho's GS.
Speaking of Jho...is he gonna be like...some subspecies or, just some special download quest or whatever.
I wanted to say subspecies since that trailer was showing a lot of them in general.

I dont know what to call it. The town?

And one new monster? I'm guessing the rest are just being transferred from other Monster Hunters?

Yeah, just the name of the town works.

And yes, you're correct. So for all of us who've played past MH games see nothing new.
_{except that weird purple/green guy thing o.o}

Well he means actual new monsters like Burakio-whatshisface. The new subspecies are just...well, old monsters with new tricks up their sleeves. Not entirely new...

I'm just hoping from now until then, Capcom can get online in the mix. _{I'm so eager. >.<}

Oh LoL! I just really had to leave so I just pressed post and didn't even check.

what.

Isn't it about time for that weekly japanese magazine thing to kick in? I want new info! xD

For all you complainers about MHTriG having no online~

You all should be ashamed, expecting something that shouldn't be expected, just because 'MHT had online'.
_{/goes to cry in corner ;__;}

......and that is why portable Monster Hunter is inferior.

I have zero hype for this game because of the lack of on-line. When you play with others you get a rush of adreniline when you are on the edge of death because you don't want to let your team down. You get to cheer and share the excitement of victory. It just adds a huge amount of depth to the fun and drama.

Playing by yourself feels so hollow and boring compaired to playing with friends. I have never met anyone IRL that plays Monster Hunter. Local Multi is next to worthless in America. We are not a small country with a compact population like Japan where meet-ups would be easily accessible and common. Could be why Monster Hunter has never really caught on over here.

Honestly, this is what's keeping me from being excited. I have put well over 150+ hours into MHTRI and I can say 100 of those hours alone went to online play.

If 'inferior' means selling 4m+ copies in the first month of its release (MHP3) compared to MHT's <1m, then yeah, I guess so.

I agree with the rest of what you said though.
_{and at least the PSP games have adHoc Party for those who have no one to meet up with}

It is a matter of opinion of course, I find MHT to be inferior when put up against the PSP games. While MHFU has 80+ monsters, lots of areas and g-rank quests above high-rank to keep you playing, MHT just has a couple monsters and barely any quests. They also watered down the offline mode a whole lot.

Who thinks Capcom will throw an online mode for the western release for this game? (If it comes here)

Because I think they would. Then probably re-release the game in Japan at a budget price- or an eShop app that enables them to play online, of course, they need to have the game already. The latter is unlikely but a possibility

Like JR, 90% of my time on MHTri was spent online, at least, my hours.

I don't know if Capcom would invest the money and time into adding an entire online mode for areas where the series doesn't even sell that much. I mean, they might, but I don't see how they'd benefit from it.

I'm sure most people spent their hours online in MHT, because as I've said, the offline mode was pitiful compared to others in the series.

btw kitteh = teh sex

They did for MVT and i'm pretty sure that sold less than Tri.

MVT?

So it sold less than MHT. Why would they do it again? I mean, for a company that didn't release 11 (out of the 18 MH games currently out) games out of japan (the latest two MHs being an example), why would they add an entire online mode for the western market?

Edit: Hey look, Bracchidios Blade armor and LS~

i seen this pic a while ago on the MH wiki page, looks awesome:)
