I though that was something for him to drink, which is a bad idea with the sleep aids. Looks too thin to be syrup. I'm going with it being for getting drunk.

Almost finished 3-star, and wasted entirely too much time making and upgrading stuff that's way off my upgrade path, but hey, new stuff.

This game rules, but I suppose that was to be expected. The little upgrades add up awesomely. So many things that always just rubbed me the wrong way are either fixed or entirely excised.

Anyone playing on 3DS, here's a tip for you: If you aren't going to be using the 3D, go to the main game menu and choose options from there and turn 3D off. In case you didn't already know, the 3D slider just effects whether the screen displays the 3D effects or not, the game is still rendering them. This is what's causing the text to be so awful and blurry - it's rendering it twice for the 3D effect. If you turn this off in the main menu, everything clears right up and looks much crisper and nicer. Of course, this means you can't play in 3D if that's your thing.

Its supposed to be up at 9am PST, which is 12pm EST. I wonder how long this sucker will take. I've had no issue with downloading on the wu in the past, but I know some people have had HUGE slow downs with downloads.

The first load of DLC is up. There's some guild card backgrounds and hunter titles that I'm sure nobody cares about, plus also a quest to slay 20 bullfangos naked in the arena. The quest gives you a ticket that you can use to craft a lance that looks like a gunlance or a gunlance that looks like a trophy. Apparently this was the same as the first downloadable quest for tri? Pretty neat either way.

... Blargh! I wanted to at least try and get the download started before I left for work, but I start my shift 45 minutes before the drat thing goes on sale! I suppose I could have the Mrs. start the download when she gets home from work.

Thanks for the heads up!

You could try stopping by your local retailer and seeing if they have any physical copies.

Is the save transfer thing out? I'm still waiting for UPS to come but I figure doing the table thing would be much faster on 3DS and then just moving the save over.

So, I might end up having an extra physical copy I'll have no need for. I might not, depending on if a friend back home needs a copy or not, but it's possible. Would anyone be interested in it? I know most everyone in the thread probably has their copy already, or will soon, but a few people were on the fence and a free game might sway them. Well, by "free" I mean I'd be willing to trade it for Monster Hunter fanart or something. You know, if anyone was interested. If this is a bad place to post this, someone let me know and I'll move it wherever is better.

You're not the only one, I spent a good bit shrieking over Skype while my friends laughed at my misery when that quest came up in the original Tri. :shobon: For what it's worth, I've found that playing with others does help make the experience far less stressful, if that's an option. Either way, with time you'll find even Lagiacrus to be a chump.

When you're not damning the swimming controls or depth perception, anyway.

So I've never played Monster Hunter and a 3DS is all I have, there's nothing bad about the 3DS version right? I'm thinking of buying it as soon as it's available on the eShop.

You'll be fine. The only difference between 3DS and Wii U is that 3DS has local multiplayer, and Wii U has upscaled graphics and online multiplayer (and even the 3DS can go online if you're playing locally with someone on Wii U). Performance on the 3DS is just as good as the Wii U version.

So I take it the transfer app will be available as soon as the 3DS eShop updates?

No online multiplayer kinda sucks though, I'm starting to have second thoughts. Perhaps I should just wait until I can afford a Wii U. Why doesn't it have it though? Is it not good enough for that?

Because Japan, basically. The theory is they haven't seen the need to add online multiplayer to the handheld games since they have such a high population density and everyone there plays the game.

It probably doesn't help that Nintendo itself is terrible about online multiplayer, so they probably didn't push the issue.

It was more or less a 3DS launch title in Japan, so Wii U didn't exist as of yet. I could be wrong though.

I say still get it and convince your friends to get it in one form or another. You can transfer your character between versions (whenever the drat app is available to download). This is my first MonHun too.

Remember that the saves transfer, so when you put 100-200 hours into the 3DS version and love it, the expense of the Wii U system won't seem like much in a "dollars per hour" equation.

Anyone get some time in with this using the Circle Pad Pro XL? If so, how's it working for you compared to the virtual dpad.

UGG less than an hour till I can start downloading this. Wait is killing me.

I hate the very concept of time so much right now I wish I could spend the next 45 minutes beating it with a hammer made from its brother, Space, until it finally learned better than to make me wait on my drat Monster Hunter.

There needs to be a checkbox I can check to say "I know how this works, make the elder shut up". I don't need to be told how the controls or the hunt system works, just let me start killing!
