I heard the controls for MH3 were archaic and cludgy. I suspect that will end up turning people off. While it maybe great to core gamers who like that. It's not really accessible unless it's intuitive. I'm betting the controls will hamper this game.

While I think a game like this looks awesome. I think I would rather see Monster Hunter 4 : Tokyo :P people hunt awoken monsters in the middle of the major city. Roof top battles on sky scapers against giant birds :P

The controls are fine. Camera is smoother than Galaxy's, and the basic combat is smooth enough. The only thing that would really make it click would be lock-on, and more importantly lock-on strafing of some sort, to center your combat on the monster you want. That's the only frustration i experienced from the demo so far, that i would try a jump slash in one direction and the monster would attack in a completely different direction.

 

It was actually kinda funny, the Jaggi and i just kinda attacking in random directions, neither of us really fixed on the other.
