Monster Hunter Tri

After getting a bit of playtime with it, it seems just a tad easier than Freedome Unite, though that may change in the later hunts. Still hardcore as f*ck. Lovin' it.

Freedom Unite is the one for the PSP rite?

Yep.

Just had my first online quests with a group last night (about four to six hours straight all the way into morning). This series had always caught my eye when I first heard of it, I also have a buddy from high school in my science class who was a big fan and I learned most of what there was to know from him (we usually wasted the entire class with him talking about every new thing he came upon and me asking questions). I don't know what the flak I was doing not getting into this game sooner, it's fun.

I also gottasay, I was a little disappointed that the Dual swods are gone. I was also a bit skeptical about the new switch axe weapon, but I'm surprised to say it's way better than I thought it'd be

This game.... may have given me a reason to buy Wii Speak.

I just beat the Gobun, and said lots of bad words while doing it. Frickin' hard game.

All this Monster Hunter is frigging hard business makes me scared. 🙁

Also, why the **** get rid of dual swords? Jesus christ.

Second: I always bitched about how unbalanced the ranged weapons were in MHFU. Is there something I'm missing in the use of said weapons? I always got shit done with the GS or LS... 😮

Yeah, I miss Dual Swords...

No one that I've played with use Bowguns at all, or Hammers. It's all Switch-Axe and S&S.
I'm Sword and Shield and a Hammer user so far.

My bowguns were always really shitty. D:

Dual Swords were my weapon of choice. Now that they're gone, can't seem to get used to any other weapon.

Yeah. Off the top of my head I can't think of another fast-style weapon I would use for killing little stuff like ____prey and those sand sharks.

Well, some of the later monsters beg a weapon switch. Kudos if you never had to pick up a katana for Rath's or a hammer for Gravios.

50 clust lvl 2 trick ftw.

I resent that 😠 I've played with like...

err...

...two 😮

Hammuhz are good. 🙂

On Barroth, maybe, but the SA is seriously the pink slip for Great Jaggi/Baggi.

Incidentally, Barroth is where I see Hammers the most. Lances actually work nice on him too.

I always wanted to learn to use the lances, but its just not in my blood. Hammers RAPE Kirin.

S&S, LS, DS, and Hammers are what I use mainly.

I am considering getting this, if it's good I might not trade my wii in and finally use motion control and not the gamecube controller

You can use the classic controller too, if you want.

I don't have it and I don't like it, always the gb controller

hmmm I like gunlance. It's hilarious. I used to use wyvern's fire on my cat. BOOM.

If by GB, you mean GC, then you should know this game isnt' compatible with that controller. That said, I decided to buy myself a Classic Controller Pro, and I must say, it is seriously what both the GCN and Classic Controller wanted to be. I'm inclined to say that I prefer it to the GCN controller; Structurally, it's very much like the PS controller (which is why it helps so much with this game), which is my favorite controller style among all the consoles (pretty much ever)--it's got two sticks, a control pad, and four face buttons all the same size and laid out in a + sign-like shape, as well as two shoulder buttons on each side. This is definately the controller with which to compare to the competition in a traditional sense.

Not only have I gained more comfort on this game, but I also played every game that was GCN compatible with it, and I think I feel more natural playing with CCP than I ever did with the GCN controller. Highly reccomended.
