This'll actually be the first Monster Hunter game I've played. Hope I like it!

rezzah4048d ago (Edited 4048d ago )

It's a love it or hate it type of game.

As long as you don't mind the +3 hours of learning the maps and things to gather you will be fine.

The first thing that draws people into the franchise is their first big kill. It might take multiple tries with various strategies each time, but once you succeed the feeling is amazing.

Each time you beat a monster the better you get at naturally fighting them. Increased natural skills, armor sets, and weapons (types/ strengths) will decrease the time you take to defeat a monster. Example 40 minutes the first time, then 35, finally it will continue until your best time (5-20 mins?).

The second attraction of the game is co-op. The feeling of running alongside fellow monster hunters, each with their own special armors and weapons, fighting together to take the large beast down is great.

The plus of co-op is being able to fight monster your normally couldn't fight yourself at your current state. Also being able to have access to new items for supplies to new weapons and armors.

The negative side of co-op is relying too much on others for help. By doing this you stunt your natural growth in fighting certain monsters on your own. This will punish your teammates and yourself when it comes to fighting the high rank monsters.

Edited for missing word.

The gave the Wii version the same score. I don't even know how that is possible.

rezzah4048d ago

Different reviewer? not sure myself, just saying.

Sadly, this will be the best looking Monster Hunter game for many years to come because Crapcom is too freaking stupid to develop on consoles then port to handheld. Looking at Monster Hunter 4 just makes me sad.

rezzah4048d ago

Capcom is too afraid or greedy (or smart from a business perspective) to create huge improvements on the series.

If they too much too soon then they cannot lengthen the life of the series. It means less interesting ideas for future sequels, which in turn might make some newer ideas seem forced.

While TriU looks nice, it isn't what capcom can make it to be. The environment is similar to that of MH (PS2 2004).

MH is Capcom's Pokemon.

ShoryukenII4048d ago

Hopefully, Deep Down is what this game should have been and more. But we all know Capcom.

rezzah4047d ago

I have to disagree on Deep Down being the future of monster hunter.

Personally it looks more like a sequel to Dragons Dogma.

catch4048d ago

I love this game. I hope anyone who is trying it for the first time stick with it. This game is all about the rewards of putting in the effort. Preparation for a big hunt makes the kill much more satisfying.

If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.

Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.

This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!

Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.

Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?

MadLad784d ago (Edited 784d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot07784d ago

Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.

I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?

MadLad784d ago (Edited 784d ago )

N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.

Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.

If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.

pietro1212784d ago

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

XxINFERNUSxX783d ago

You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

XxINFERNUSxX783d ago

This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

What's the best Monster Hunter of all time? In a series where half of the titles have the word 'Ultimate' fixed on the end, it can be a difficult decision to make. NL are not averse to difficult decisions though, so have taken it upon theirselves to rank every single Monster Hunter game (yes, even the non-Nintendo ones) to determine which is the very best.
