When I started playing MHFU, I got interested into long swords and occassionally I use heavy bowguns (mostly against Plesioth and Kirin). I also prefer to use Dual Swords against Rajang.

After I bought MHTri, I mostly used long swords and switch axes at first, but then at the higher levels I finally taught myself how to use lances properly. This carried over to MHFU aswell, and so I'm using both lances and gunlances too.

I don't like hammers (I prefer hunting horns over hammers) all that much, but I did use them in MHTri during arena quests.

By the looks of things, I'm either going to be a lance/gunlance or long sword user in MHP3rd. Just hope I get myself a PS3 before then so I can hop on and play online.

I'll probably continue to use Great Swords, Hammers, and Lances evenly. I really loved using the Gunlance in Unite, so if they've improved in P3rd as an offensive version of the lance I'll convert to those with lances as a backup weapon of sorts.

I'll still use everything else when need be depending on my friend focuses on.

I've been playing this game the last couple of days. Imported my save file so I have the bonus MHP2G content and re-created my old character.

Anyone else got it yet? All the improvements make it an extremely fun game over Unite.

Wait, you have MHP3 already? Did it already come out in Japan already? What was the release date again?

EDIT: Checked the release date, came out on December 1. So what weapon did you start off with?

I have the PAL Tri, but have not played in a long while unfortunately. I'm not very far in, nor very good at it (just after Qurupeco).
If it's online you're after though, sorry I can't help with that :(

I guess all I can really say is it isn't exactly what I'd expect out of a $4.4M game

It doesn't even have mouth animations

How's the axe? Does it handle just as well as the one in Tri?

Were there any major changes?

Yea. C:

No, not really. It's called Slash Axe in this game though.

The game looks really great! Can't wait until I get the game when it gets released in the US!

A shame that the "Hunters PSP" will not be released in the US I would of totally gotten it!

I still wish the PSP had a second analog stick. I just can't get used to the claw.
Oh well, at least I'll be able to play it on a TV screen.

Hey Vixy, you don't have a PS3 right? You could hook your PSP up and see if Europe can play with America.

I need at least $150 more to get that PSP.

Anyway the Ending Scene to the Game.

I've got about 70 hours so far. I've finished all offline quests except for the final you get by finishing everything. [spoiler]Deviljho, Nargacuga and Tigrex in the arena.[/spoiler]

I've had no problem with any of the quests so far. Perhaps Unite spoiled me with it's horrid difficulty, but now... This quest man... I can't live against this thing! I get OHKO'd three times within the first ten minutes!

I bought Tri as a Christmas present to myself.  It's my first experience with the series, and I'm loving it so far.  Going with plain ol' swords, since I appreciate the mobility.  And nailed my first Great Jaggi online today.

Got Wi-Fi and Wii Speak, if anyone's interested in hooking up with my noobish self.  Character name is Bowen.

Yeah.  Pennsylvania, USA.

Sucks to be cut off from my PAL buddies.  Nevertheless, it still beats the hell out of Nintendo's online setup.

Bummer. Curse Capcom.



Hey Vixy, aren't you a switch axe player too?

I think I found your weapon:

After all this time of not being able to afford Monster Hunter 3: Tri... I finally got it.

My weapon right now is a Lance and Shield. I'm at the 4 Stars Rank Guild request missions now. When it comes to online play, I've only done it once, but went alone.

Visit my art gallery at deviantart today. http://dragontamer272.deviantart.com/

Yes, I am now one of those so-called "Bronies".
