Topic: The first Monster Hunter Tri reviews show good scores

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/monsterhuntertri
one review says that the best way to get the full experience from the game is to play online with the 20 day free trial which may lead to addiction and spending more money

It mentions a 20 day free trial because it's a review of the Japanese version...

It sounds like there is split-screen co-op, so many games these days are missing that little thing, gets an extra point just for that in my books.

Let's just hope that they don't start charging us later. That might make me mad as I was thinking of getting this and it would suck if you suddenly had to pay to play.

I don't think any current generation Nintendo game has ever been pay to play, so I doubt it.

I might end up getting this game, but...does this game allow you to use the GCN controller? I do have a Classic controller, but I'd prefer the GCN over that...and I dunno if I'll enough money to get the Pro.

It looks very good from what I have read. It sounds like a lot of fun playing cooperatively with a friend.

LONPOS is a Nintendo published WiiWare game (developed by Genki) with 2700points worth of Pay&Play DLC.

I think he means "pay & play" as in a subscription based system. In Japan, MH Tri players pay each month to play online.

Very good review scores. I'm so hyped about the game it's not even funny.

Roll on April 20th!

Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant! Pay to play=subscription. Also meant to clarify that don't think any current generation Nintendo game OUTSIDE OF JAPAN has ever been pay to play.

...Guess no one knows...and GameStop told me this comes out Friday, WTF?! >_>
Grrr, I hate waiting! lol

Pay to play (p2p) means you have to pay in order to play. You cannot play without having paid for the subscription. DLC isn't that.

I seriously doubt they would start charging for MH3, everyone would stop playing online.

I for one can't wait for this to come out. I have a feeling that this may be the game that brings me out of my self imposed "no online play" rule. I like the fact that it isn't a competitive online component and it is teamwork based. I know there are games that do that already online but I don't care for shooters, so this one is a first for me.

The first UK review was in ONM and I wrote a thread on it somewhere on this forum. It gave the game 91%. The lastest N-Gamer has given it an 89%. These are well within the "Gold Award" by both mags' scoring policies. IGN has even given it a 9.3! They're the ppl who clearly don't get the Wii, yet....
