someone help me out here. The loading time when i switch between areas literally takes about 2 seconds or less, is it only for me? i guess im special. and all of you who are hating the game cause of the tutorial, im pretty sure the demo IS the tutorial, to get you used to the controls and get practice in for the final game! also, if its just a button masher, then why the hell do you need a tutorial? 

[Kokirii]

The game just sucks.  I know this because I've never played any of the other MH games and I played this demo once for 5 minutes.

Dude, do not apply logic to an internet forum. The world may explode.

im not bad at video games if that's what your saying. I just thought that the combat in monster hunter is very bland, and now I know it's built for the 3DS the graphics and small areas make a lot more sense. And maybe the reason newbies are so bad at it is because their was no tutorial and I had no idea what I was doing. And if load screens are "tradition" I'm sorry but that's a really really bad tradition to have. I'm glad they will do away with them on MH4. Hopefully the demo was just a bad representation of the game, because if not i don't know how anyone would enjoy it. But whatever floats your boat I guess.

Im also glad they are getting rid of the small arenas, they are not a componsnt that defines the monster hunter experience, which is why the team felt it was ok to change it.

Not being bad at videogames isnt enough. Being good at videogames is not enough. Especially todays videogames. You have to be glorious, and non reliant on cpu assist, because the precision and strategy required is beyond what cpu ai can assist with.

You have to be epic. The things you think of as impossible is common place to us.

Just to let everyone know, a hit like that is not common place in this game. 99/100 times if you tried that, you would be rathalos food. A hit like this takes skill.

may want to note how these videos reptitavely doing, on command, over and over again, something you said was impossible, are often named NOOB GUIDES.

Anyone else who doesnt know what they are talking about want to tell those of us who do what we cant do just because they cant?

Its just timing. It does the aiming if you know your monsters. The hardest part is keeping track of break accumilation in multiplayer, which is mitigated by going up to your teammates to see what they are packing before a hunt, or having a smart armor skill loadout, with things like crit draw, or adrenalin 2 (dodging/blocking experts only) and a raw damage high enough to garuntee breaks. Its easily replicable, and expected of g rank greatsword wielders. Im not even a gsword main and i can do it most all the time, with my fails still being a double hit, and my party still reaping the benefits.

The menu is a mess and the game is boring as heck. I'm not buying it either.

just for reference, is it comparable in difficulty to dark souls??

Yeah, harder in some ways, easier in others.

Dark/Demon souls combat is a lot easier, monsters are slow clumsy and weak in comparison, and you have lock on, no forced lag animations, and cpu assist. However the penalty for losing is much, much, higher, losing everything isnt a rare occurance, while its practically non existant in monster hunter beyond wasting 20 or so minutes and some farmable items... or nothing at all but a little time if you abandon before dying 3 times. You can train to clockwork precision with no penalty whatsoever. Which is why the difficulty and skill demand can be ramped so high.

Hi All,

 

New here, wanted some nice Wii U forums to discuss games and so forth!

 

Baislcy I never played a Monster Hunter (MH) game before, hence this one I looked forward to on the wii U!  I expected from reading sites a game that you level up your char, get the gear and armor up your main charcter whilst fighting bosses etc etc.

 

After trying the demo it seems you always pick from a template of chars and then the game is very linear map areas which loads when you run only a few CM's up the snow.  Was hoping for a real good indepth game with massive boss battles, leveling and tweaking the chars we play.... along with Co-Op play (thats if MH3 will have any).

 

Is the Demo a true rep of the game or have  I just built m hopes up too high?

 

 

I can not see myself buying this title.. which is a same as I was so excited.  The combat feels really rigidg and not smooth enough and just smashing buttons on a boss to end the level......

 

You need to know how to play to enjoy the game. Its not as simple as mashing, this is how people know you are a noob before you state it. Monster Hunter is about watching the monster's moves, reacting and using your large arsenal to defeat them.

 

Watch some videos on How to Play Monster Hunter.

ohh thats y it was hard. i played the demo and got pissed at the controls, changing drasticly once your weapon is out, not being able to run with it out.

 

i may try again as one of the fast hit alot guys but the mechanics just seemed to slow for me to do anything.  i found me wanting ranged because the guy got to far away, came buy, i made the attack and the monster ran away before he finished swinging the sword. i do hope there is a guy alot mroe agile then what i picked the first time.

Im guessing you chose the big honking greatsword?

Despite its appearence the greatsword requires absolute precision aiming, timing,and monster knowledge to use effectively.

You dont try to hit the monster where its at, but where its going to be by the time you are ready... Typically, you invite the monster to come to you, force them into your rythm.

New user freindly weapons are the sword and shield, and the dual swords. They are very very fast. Youll be able to land a fkurry of blows ar every oppertunity.

thats what i used, i saw heaver defaul classes so i fegured it would be able to move enough and quick enough, the sword felt more of what id expect from a mace in that type of game. i will probly end up using the ranged stuff

[Alianjaro]

The demo is nothing like what the game will be. The game is crazy. YES IM A FANBOY. lol but the game starts a bit slowly, I guess, but give it time, and you won't be able to drop the controller for hours. And keep in mind it goes platinum all the time in Japan. So yea, it's really great in my opinion. Plus, the online experience is amazing.

Playing as a gunner class is like a different game. But if you end up getting good at it youll never be hard pressed to find a party. With the wealth of status, element, and different damage types, and even buff/recovery/utility bullets, they are like mages/healers. Highly sought in a party, but often hard to find.

Does this game have an easy or beginner difficulty setting?

 

I want to have fun killing monsters on easy and then when ready, go to normal setting

Yes, it starts out in easy mode with monsters getting stronger as your rank increases. The demo... Was incredibly easy. Both monsters are just tier 2 normal ranked monsters. The only thing easier would be a great jaggie....

But its monsters on 'easy' are harder than dark souls.

Thats what makes the feeling you get when you take a monster down so much greater in monster hunter than in other games.

[Dharmanator]

Most games have guilds. It seems Monster Hunter has cults.

I am not saying you play too much, but is that a mushroom growing on your shoulder?

[ArmedPrimate]

The only Monster Hunter I played was MH: Freedom on the PSP, I liked it a lot. The only downside was the fact that I had no one to play with unless they too had a PSP and MH:F. However I just bought a Wii U literally 3 days ago now and I'm stoked for MH3:U. I was pissed that I couldn't play with people in other regions however I was pleased at the announcement of cross platform play between 3DS and Wii U, it makes the community feel much more bigger and might even sway me to pick up a 3DS.

[xBASSxMONSTAx]

Cancel pre order. I might get the 3DS version instead as it looks more epic in 3D
