Topic: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate - OT

I'm not saying the free camera view should be disabled, but the camera lock could be more intuitive than it is.

What do you mean by "get far" - are you saying other monsters won't appear until after you hunt some that you can only fight underwater? If that's the case then I'm skipping this altogether; I refuse to play a game where I feel like I have to fight the controls.

I honestly don't care about "completing" the thing or being unable to craft this or that as a result of choosing not to fight certain monsters.

I don't see what's the problem with the lack of a second stick for the camera. Didn't stop me in the PSP version.

There's going to be some key quests and urgents that will stop you until clear them. Plessioth is actually one of those quests, but I think your first will be Gobul. And he can be quite tricky underwater. (not to mention the final boss of the village's low rank is fought completely underwater, then again he's easy anyways, lol)

For some reason, when I played the demo, I found a mammoth-like creature and it's child... then I felt cruel for hitting them... And when Lagombi ran away and you chased it, I also felt bad... I mean, it gave up and ran why insist on killing it? T.T I am okay with killing sinister-like monsters like those dinosaurs and dragons, but the Lagombi looked like it was just attacking you out of fear. As for the mammoth-like creature... I think it's self-explanatory ;_;

Oh I wasn't the only one then? Oh good! ;~; I felt SO bad hunting Lagombi the first time. When it started limping away. D: Oh man, it's cute and fuzzy. I don't wanna kill it. ;~~;
I didn't feel as bad with the Plesioth either though. it felt more self defense-ish and the thing puts up a friggin' fight! I still can't kill it! The Lagombi just kind of attacks out of desperate need to survive.

Only time I feel bad when fighting monsters is with Qurupeco, he looks like he'd be the kind of monster that would leave you alone in reality. xD
Then there's when with all of the monsters limp when trying to get away. (except Jho, everyone hates him, lol)

Its called survival of the fittest. Honestly how do you think our ancestors got food and clothing. By hunting cute little things like rabbits and deer.

You are aware of the Amazon sale, right?

IKR?! It felt like it just wanted me to go away... and it made me feel bad more when it began to kinda crawl and it couldn't properly DX I just hope there aren't a lot of similar situations in the rest of the game or my weak heart wouldn't bare to take it ;_;

That's what I was actually wondering! I was wondering if MH was based on pre-historic times where you hunt for a living XD

Hey I like fighting Jho. He's super easy despite looking so intimidating. Although he does get a new move in 3U I'm pretty sure I'll have it down in no time.

If you're responding to me, I"m playing the Wii U demo - this is the Wii U forum you know. The issue isn't a lack of second stick, it's the clunky nature of being dependent upon it and the fact that you need to choose between helping your Mr. Magoo character know what the hell is going on and actually hitting something.

In any event it sounds like underwater battles are required to get anywhere, so I'm afraid I'll have to pass. Sounds like you folk will enjoy it though so have fun.

The story kinda goes like this. Your village is being threatened by these monsters. If you don't take care of them then its your hide. There is more to the story but ill just leave it at that!

Don't know where else to ask this, but is anyone still playing tri?

Yeah, but that's still a lot for me though. I don't have too much spare cash and what I did is set aside for other stuff. lol

Yeah but we still hate him. lol
Also have you seen his G-Rank form for this game?
@Sean: Really, you just need to practice with underwater more, try different weapons and all that. I didn't like it much at first but after a while it started getting easy for me. (only real issue still being the camera backed up against a wall. :/ )

There's a really old forum thread that died almost a year ago here for NA. https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/online_gaming/na_monster_h...

I still play Tri but not as much as I used to since most of my online friend's had their Wii's die on them, and I'm busy focusing on my studies at the moment.

Tri is rare for me too...I might play it some more when it gets closer to Ultimate's release date just to have some "final moments" with it. lol

I thought about picking it up now since I am soooo hooked by this demo but honestly with the servers shutting down in April I figure it would just be a waste of money.

@Sean I put over 600 hours on the wii version and I still hate the under water parts. I didn't let that stop me from enjoying the game. You can also get to fight a good deal of those underwater parts on land as well. If you enjoyed the demo at all you should give it a shot at least.

Not to mention we'll be here if you need tips and all that. Hell, once you finish the village quests and move on the port (harder quests), you'll be able to play online with the Wii U version. So any other new underwater urgent/key battles (I think there's like...one, not counting the end game boss since he's like...both land and water, lol) can be helped with.
