Monster Hunter 3

Now normally, I wouldn't be interested in this game, but there are a couple of signs that it might be good. I first got interested in it, cause it was on the wii. In the crappy advertisement I saw, they called it the first online adventure co-op multiplayer for the wii. Though I find it to be more degrading to the Wii than to be a point in favor for the game, it got me interested enough to check it out.

The graphics look average at best, but it's on the wii. It just comes with the deal. But I noticed that they said that the first two games were on the PSP. So if the games was not made by nintendo, that means that they might not have any hand in it, which means they can't fuck it up like they did to Symphonia.

I also noticed that you could play with the wiimote, or the classic controller. Which means no stupid wii-mote waggle quick time events like in every other wii game.

The online multiplayer co-op is another point in it's favor. We wouldn't be able to talk, cause the wii has no mic system. At least not one worth buying, but it would be fun to play anyway, I think.

Here's the official description off amazon:

Spoiler:

It's out on 4/20. Which means a lot of high kids will be getting it for the flashy colors. I'd be getting it to get something to add to my stockpile of 4 games for the wii. Most of which are sequels to games from the cube.

You make it seem like every game on the Wii except for this one forces you to move to play.

Anywho, I'll be picking up me copy next Tuesday. Ahhhhn~! Can't wait! Can't wait to hunt monsters with a lance. Maybe I'll play with someone here if they get it.

I already heard about it from when it was first announced, and I actually played the first two for the psp and it was great. this one comes from the ps2 version though, sorta like a remake. Sadly theirs a better verison of monster hunter coming out for the 360 but is only for japan and its more like an MMO, which for this kind of game is very promising.

I may get it.

Only cuz Lyle is thinking of getting it. And some other ppl may get it.

And then we can run around and take out our ~~problems in life~~ rage out on clueless monsters as we run them through with spears n shit.

Prolly not getting the wiispeak though

I would consider getting the wii speak. It probably won't be as good as the 360 system. But nothing ever is.

But yeah. This would be a good way to play with people on the forum who don't have 360. Forging our Slinks closer.

Plus taking rage out on monsters with giant swords never gets old.

I just hope the gameplay doesn't suck.

I'll...consider it. Sounds kinda fun. But I'm kinda saving any money I get for a 360. =x

by **Rozencrutz** Sun Apr 18, 2010 2:45 pm

Probably gonna get this sometime in the near future.

by **Rise: The Game** Mon Apr 19, 2010 2:46 pm

by **RESSURECTED LYLE DAYEK** Mon Apr 19, 2010 2:52 pm

It's out on the 20th of April.

So. Tomorrow.

fucken hell. I cant get it till my laptop arrives because.................................debt?

by **RESSURECTED LYLE DAYEK** Mon Apr 19, 2010 3:18 pm

It's cool. I wasn't planning on getting it right away anyway. I wanted to hear reviews and opinions.

by **Rise: The Game** Mon Apr 19, 2010 3:29 pm

good idea. I wanna know before I waste a precious DVD.............that I purchase in a wii box.

Right.

Alright, I've had this game since 10:58 AM EST. And it's really fun. In the game, you have notes teaching you the controls for each available weapon type(Two of them have to be unlocked). And there's a tutorial for the normal controls. It's pretty much free roam, even when you're on a quest(but the quests have time limits). So yeah, I'm having fun with this.

by **RESSURECTED LYLE DAYEK** Wed Apr 21, 2010 7:38 am

Yeah, I bought it at gamestop yesterday and the people were like: "Good choice."

I mean, they're probably trying to make a sale too. But one of the guys said he was playing it before he went to work and he loved it.

So, first impressions are pretty bad.

Which I'm really reluctant to say that. Cause I had such hopes for the game.

Combat seems to be nothing but press 'A' over and over. There's no targeting, no flowing combat. Just A after A after A. None of the weapons so far are any good. The sword does little to know damage, and the other weapons make you so slow, it ruins the adventurous style of gameplay.

i think that the graphics were supposed to be the selling point here, with the greenery scenery and the various monsters, but being on the wii, it's pretty limited with that. RD looked better honestly.

Also, things are pretty blurry.

Plotwise I can't tell what's going on. It doesn't seem that you can make your character better in any way other than buying new weapons. No abilities, no special moves. Just 'A' 'A' 'A' with new sharp objects.

I've only played for like an hour. So I'm hoping it gets better as I progress. Though it would be fun to play with friends, if only to talk about how boring it is to be playing this as of right now, and how we should have picked L4D to play.

Also, there's practically NO soundtrack. As soon as you walk out of the village, there's a fanfare, and then nothing till you walk back into the village.

Realism is an acceptable sacrifice for entertainment.

Have you played any of the other monster hunters, cause thats pretty much how most of the others flowed, you basically pressed the attack button while moving to evade.

by **Rise: The Game** Thu Apr 22, 2010 9:59 am

Yeah. Thats nothing new Lyle.

by Toriko Thu Apr 22, 2010 10:24 am

also your supposed to do little to no damage at all in the beginning and as you progress through the game you make new weapons and become an expert of course.

by **RESSURECTED LYLE DAYEK** Thu Apr 22, 2010 3:17 pm

I would think there would at least be some improvement on the combat as you go along, seeing as that's the only thing you do in the game.

At the very least, allow us to do more combos. Three damn attacks and then restart is super boring.

by Toriko Thu Apr 22, 2010 3:47 pm

actually depending on the weapon you have you can use special attacks like the dual swords and long sword

by Emerald Jealousy Sat Apr 24, 2010 2:30 pm

Heeeeeeey, come on. Lets go online someone.

by Toriko Sat Apr 24, 2010 4:38 pm

I would have by now if desu wasn't an idiot and left my wii in dakota, but soon will have a new one and I will rape some suckers online with you
