Much agreed.  I pretty much just go to single-player to beef up my item inventory/money.  Online is a blast.

Speaking of which, Lou, you and I need to arrange a time to hook up, so I can at least register ya.

I'm generally an axe man, but currently I'm having fun with longswords. They're physically weaker than axes but the Spirit Slash is really overpowered. It's a very nice weapon, might get used to it.
(Still won't drop axes)

And my goal for 3P will be a High Jinouga armor. That thing looks pretty badass.

I am actually surprised that there hasn't been a squid/octopus monster in Tri. Gues they were ok with having only Yamatsukami.

I'd imagine if a creature has arms through the entire radius of its body, it's liable to make approaches and prediction difficult.

I'm starting to go back to Monster Hunter Tri after many months due to schoolwork and other video games I wish to complete.

First off I'm looking for some better armor than my Rathian Armor+ Set and I planning on adding the Handiwork, Evade, and Earplug skills on a better armor set unless you guys have something far more better for skills for a Longsword user like myself... (How I miss Dual Swords...)

Care to give me some suggestions or advice? Some of the people over at GameFAQs can be a bunch of jerks sometimes... :|

I roll a Joe-Set with either Longsword or Axe. Strength boost plus Sharpness+1 for heavy damage multipliers.

Mrs. Shell claims the TV at 8 on Wed, so that's a fairly narrow window (you're Eastern U.S. too, right?).  Nevertheless, I'll be there.

You're American, right?
If you weren't I'd help you a bit.

I HOPE the remastered PSP version has better online.

Monster Hunter Tri-G interview and some scans.

Quote
- 3DS exclusive Enhanced Port of Tri for Wii

- Due out before the end of the year in Japan, 3G will be fully playable at the Tokyo Game Show in a couple weeks

- "the new portside area we've made for the game was created with an eye for 3D visuals -- giving it more depth, placing objects on top of each other, and other concepts to make the 3D more prevalent."

- "The bottom screen will have a panel with assorted useful functions for hunting; you'll be able to tap on things to use it"

- There is also, of course, the slide-pad attachment, which Tsujimoto called a "secret weapon" crafted so players could play 3G with the same control feel as the original Tri.

- As for weapons; "There will be 12 types," Fujioka said, "filling out the set of genres we've introduced up to this point. All of the weapons will be operable in the underwater areas, too.

- 3G's marquee monster is Blakydios, a Brute Wyvern-type -- member of the ponderous land-dragon race that first made its debut in Tri.

:\ Am I the only one who played Tri with the remote/nunchuck and liked it?  I'm just wondering how freakish it is that I don't consider the Classic Controller Pro to be the be-all-end-all of a game like Monster Hunter.

Japanese website is up!

-Artwork of Rathian, Rathalos, and two new monsters.  One is apparently the punching goo-spewing Brute Wyvern previously mentioned.  The other is a new member of the Rath- family, capable of both flying and swimming.
-There's a new kid from Cha-Cha's tribe, "Kayanba", who wears a blue mask.  You can bring both of them along at the same time.
-4-player local multiplayer.  Haven't seen any mention of online (yet).
-A new port/town "Tangier".  Moga Village is mentioned, but not Loc Lac.
-Touch screen is said to be customizable.  The example shown includes 4 panels: a map (obviously), a second D-Pad, your items, and a "lock-on" switch that lets you set the camera to automatically follow a monster.
-Hardware screens as of yet do not feature the second circle pad expansion.
-"New" weapons include the return of Bows and Dual Swords.  There's a few screens of them being used underwater.

Gah, a "lock-on" switch? That would make fighting and tracking down a monster much less challenging.

Well, if that isn't finding the cloud in the silver lining.

"Switch" as in you can turn it off, Arche.  Besides, generally if a monster blindsides you, it feels more cheap than it does challenging.  The only monster who hides is Gobul, and he kinda sucks at it. 8D

Honestly, if I was worried about any addition making the game less challenging, it'd be Kayanba.  The more brainless CPU targets a monster has to chase, the more free hits you get.  But then, you always had the option of leaving Cha Cha behind, and I expect the same is true of the new guy.

Monster Hunter 4 is a 3DS title.

I think we know now who won the portable console war in Japan.

If either 3G or 4 have online they'll probably be my first MH title, they look awesome.


My life is currently bears and Jojos and everything is great.

I applaud Capcom for getting Monster Hunter to the west again.  May not be what I REALLY want from them, but hey, it's a step in the right direction.

Ordinarily the "rebuy the game for a slightly enhanced version" thing only works for me with Pokemon.  But Tri WAS pretty darn awesome, so we'll see?  Gotta find out more details on this one.

Yea some of us have been slacking off on Tri lately, and didn't play much anymore. ^^;

Something has to be done soon I guess.

i want to play, but now that MH3U is coming out I dunno if I can keep playing it to just to start over again, maybe if they announce some data transfer like in Unite.
