Monster Hunter Tri

I'll stick with my Greatsword, cause Capcom stole mah GUNLANCE!

 

[InkSix]

Mmm, Greatsword. I can't wait to play together!

I just got the demo today when I went and pre-ordered.

So far I am as awesome as I thought I'd be! Just kidding, I actually can't yet kill Querpeco (sp) in the 20 minutes given by the demo. As long as there isn't a time limit in the actual game I'm pretty sure I'll be fine.

So far the only weapons I've done decent with are the Sword/Shield and the Switch Axe. Additionally I've tried the great sword, lance and medium bowgun, which resulted in death. For me.

Loving the demo, and less than 10 days for the game. Very excited!

 

[InkSix]

Everything will be easier when we work together!

 

[!EpIc fAiL!]

Well in the actual game you get 50 minutes to an hour to complete the quest. Thats more than enough time to kill something and go explore.

 

[Liliana]

Unless they change it o.o

Don't know why I can't kill anything with the bowgun anymore.:crying: Time limit?

 

[!EpIc fAiL!]

Its not changed, im active on the official forums for both Capcom and MH3, and they have stated that the time limit was just dropped in the demo. The actual game will have the full time limit of 50 minutes. Lets just say if a friend and i can kill a diablos (the one in the pic below) with a basic light bowgun in less than 50 minutes, then you can kill anything in 50 minutes XD

I schooled the great Jaggi (sp?) with the heavy bowgun today lol.

Querpeco and the Heavy Bowgun is a different story however. I was schooling him, then he sounded his call for help. I mentally prepare myself as every other time this happens he has called out Great Jaggi. So I start thinking about how to dodge more and bode my time until the two split up.

Except this time he called someone else. I do believe I just got a proper introduction to Rathion.

Looks like a cool game, I probably won't get it though, I'm too cheap .

The Rathian. Shes alot tougher in the actual game, i have only come very close to killing her in the demo, i run outta time. XD

But the Key to killing two monsters is this. If you stay far enough back and if the Great Jaggi comes in if you are still fighting the Peco on the other side of the area, he most likely wont interfere. But if he or the Rathian decide to try and eat you, then throw a dung bomb either on Peco or the other monster, that cause one of them to run away. (dung bombs are also used if the Rathian pins you on the ground).

 

[Spitfire'd]

Yeah I'm to a point where Great Jaggi interfering is no longer an issue, Rathian is still another story lol. Good to know about the Dung bombs, that's very useful information!

I'm learning more each time, but I still can't get Qurupeco in 20 minutes. However I'm no longer worried about the time limit because in the full game as long as I'm standing and he's not I don't care how long it takes.

When Rathian roars and that shockwave comes across the screen, oh man that is so cool!

Ya, it took me a few tries to beat the Peco. First thing to remember is find the weapon you like and are best/comfortable with, use it until you master it. EX: I focused on the Switch Axe. Once i got the hang of the weapon i fought the peco. The best thing to do when fighting him is not to be "greedy" with attacks, AKA "run in and non-stop attack" Best strategy i use is the "guerrilla" Run in when you have an opportunity (you learn those by just learning the monsters patterns, etc). I run in lay a few attacks then back out and wait for another time. Also, when the peco runs out of energy, it will do one of these things, stop and pant for a bit, drool, or eat, So if you use your tinged meat the monster(any monster) will eat it an be paralyzed. BAM! Attack!!! Also you can tell if the peco is out of stamina by if his fire wont work, or he trips when running. Those are best times to attack. But it's really all how you like to plan and attack thats just what works for me.

 

[Spitfire'd]

Yeah that's part of it for me, I'm still learning all the weapons. So far I feel like I do best with the heavy bowgun and Long Sword.

I read some helpful guides that basically boiled down the strategies to "not getting hit" and "hit it till it dies." They said the former was slightly more important so I'm getting better at studying my opponent and swinging at the right time, hence the reason I'm not worried about not getting him in 20 minutes yet.

Having a hard time gauging the community for this game series though. There seems to be a lot of distinction between figuring out if you're a "veteran" or a "gentleman" and it seems kind of stand-off-ish. I could be wrong but as I'm looking at various forums I'm having a hard time finding "welcome new to the series players" in that mindset.

Granted I'm only looking in the Gamespot forums and I take anything there with a grain of salt. I should probably start looking into the official MHT forums huh.

 

[!EpIc fAiL!]

ya the people on the official forums are very friendly. I understand how ya feel XD but the peeps on the MH3 forums are very nice, one of the nicest forums ever. If you look on there my forum name is FollowtheWolves
http://www.capcom-unity.com/monster_hunter/go/forum/view/7451/129291/Monster_Hunter_Tri

See most Vets use the same strategy cause they have played Mh since MH1 and think the same thing will work. in Tri, its all how you feel comfortable, really. So dont let the jerks on other forums frustrate you, every hunter has his or her own play style. If you need any more tips/help feel free to post here, send me a message or post on the official mh3 forums.

 

[Spitfire'd]

Thanks, I will look into those. I sometimes dislike getting involved in new forums, but that tension is eased when I'm going in knowing they are friendly.

Demo Update: I'm growing very fond of the Lance! Defensively I still have a LOT to learn as I still take more hits than I like to admit, but I love it's crushing offensive power. When Peco puffs his chest up to howl for help and I do the upwards stab right into his chest sending him flying it is a great feeling!

 

[!EpIc fAiL!]

Its here! My Online Name is sieir. Im usually on steam while playing so PM me or look for me in vent.

 

[Pizza Steve]

im grabbing this game after i get the converter to vga so i can use my monitor looks like its a lot of fun.

 

[Spitfire'd]

I'm going to play more before I write a final review on here, but my first impression is that this could be the best game on the Wii.

The classic controller pro is also a must-buy for anyone who has and uses old school classic controllers. It feels so much more comfortable!

I need to get a Wii Speak microphone before I jump online with the game, but I can't wait to give it a whirl!

 

[!EpIc fAiL!]

I trued wii speak but i think my friends was messed up, he echoed and was distorted. But you can plug up any USB keyboard and type if ya want.

 

[Liliana]

Using the Wii remote and nunchuk to play, and it works a lot better than you would think. I like how they changed the greatsword (yes, I never noticed the attack combo) so that you slap things with it. Great for stunning kelbis for their horns.
On a side note, it looks like MHFU on a bigger screen with more stuff, more places, switched around things, more monsters, and water!
