Monster Hunter is a Good Game.

Monster Hunter is a great series, one of the best out there. There are few games as satisfying solo, and as enjoyable coop.

If you have not played Monster Hunter, you should remedy that, because it is awesome.

... and all that said, I'll be skipping MH4U because I loving hate hate hate playing MH games on handhelds :eng99:

I'll be cheering you guys on from the sidelines while I wait for a console release in another year or two :unsmith:

Id just suck it up and get a New3DS

Only reason I'm hopeful for them to eventually do it is becasue they've been so prolific with their other titles Resident Evil, Lost Planet, and Devil May Cry all got great PC releases so I can hold out hope. Also thank god the drat charm table poo poo is gone even after 400 hours in 3U I still had no loving idea what that was about.

MHO is also going to be either exlusively for or at least designed with an eye towards the Asian markets, who play MMOs differently from the West and often involves a hell of a lot more grinding, gambling and cash-shop fuckery.

Especially true for Monster Hunter after WiiU's performance with 3U.

At this point it's probably fair to assume the series is just a portable game and deal with it. Not terribly thrilled with it, but personally, I'd rather "need" to buy a portable than a home console, so it's hard to complain. Honestly, if Nintendo could give me a TV out and optional wireless support for their controllers so I could otherwise treat it like a home platform I'd be just fine with it.

Any rate, while I would be willing to literally buy all of my friends copies where Capcom to release on PC, I'm already blowing that money on a new platform, I do have one friend who seems interested in picking up a 3DS and Monster Hunter so he has something to do during his downtime at work.

Imagine a world where crafting your weapons and armor has a failure chance like item combining does, and the failure chances are all much higher across the board! :smithicide:

Two days until I can get back behind my shield and whine pitifully in fear while I poke big scary monsters to death. MANLY.

I also plan to try and pick up the Hunting Horn. I've been practicing a bit in the demo but I was all Lance and LS in 3U so I'm not used to weapons that have more than one combo.

I used to play PSU in college. That was like on the least annoying end of Asian MMO crafting systems :eng101:
I put up with it because I'm a big weeb.

Monster Hunter gets a little frustrating with the Desire Sensor sometimes, but at least what you get when you craft is always what it says on the tin.

Gonna have to sit this one out for a while, I bought a Wii U for 3U and still have all of G rank to trudge through. As a working class adult that rarely leaves the house a handheld just doesn't make sense for me.

Yeah, me too. I'm planning on going to a friend's place who lives a couple of hours away and is also super into MonHun for the weekend, but I can't really do that if my system and game don't show up. I'm just hoping to see a tracking link in my email tomorrow so I can keep refreshing until my fears are assuaged.

Also, super pumped to try out the new weapon types. Probably going to main lance or switch-axe, unless the Charge Blade is super rad.

EDIT: Looking at that Charge Blade tutorial, it looks super rad.

Wait a second, I must be ridiculously unobservant because I just noticed a "Field Pouch" in the inventory? Do they give you a fourth page now?! Will I not have to throw away items for parts when I'm dumb and overstocked? Or is it only for certain things? Someone else online said it was just Account Items, but weren't sure.

I haven't tried the Charge Blade as of yet. Looks rather complicated, but I kind of want to go into the full game with the wonder in my eyes for it still.

I tried the Insect Glaive on the demo and found that the camera adjustment drove me nuts when I was trying to aim, hoping the new 3DS fixes that with the C-Stick. I'm sure it will.

According to Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/2sss7o/can_someone_explain_what_the_field_pouch_is_its/

Reddit posted:

In Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, they added a 4th in-field item page. You know how we all have 3 pages of inventory that we can haul things into the field? You'd gain an extra page to help you pick up supplies or harvest extra stuff without having to throw stuff away. Any extra items in the field pouch will then be transferred to your storage after you're done with the quest.

I got pretty good at using it in the demo and it got to the point where I never bothered aiming, just hip firing it when you are near the body part you need basically got me anything I had to get.

I just called GameStop to see if I could do the ID transfer there. They said I could, but then said that because I didn't pre-order, I might not get a system because their allocation was so small despite this being a huge f'ing release.

Oh Gamestop. This is why nobody likes you. :allears:

I feel like I'm being super irrational, but I keep worrying about whether or not I'll get mine on day 1. Gamestop STILL hasn't charged me for it, it's been sitting in pending since ~30 minutes after the drat thing was announced. Their support claims that it's going to ship and be here on Friday, but with them not charging me yet, I'm still very concerned.

Has anyone received a shipping notification yet? Mine's been sitting as Open forever.
