So I'm about 10 hours in. Doing 2 star quests now and god damn I love this game! I haven't been that hooked by a game in ages. And I mean ages as in "Ocarina of Time in 1998". The only other series that comes close to this is Pokémon.

So far I'm using Sword + Shield but the Dual Blades and Long Swords looked really good in the demo. Just captured Arzuros - is Arzuros armor good for low rank blade masters? Not sure which path to boost my weapons either. I have to do a 15 page paper for university and caught myself thinking about Monster Hunter weapons... poison or ice upgrade? Good lord this game is absorbing haha I'm *this* close to buying the Wii U version as well.


I'm not sure about the armor becuase I quite picky (I don't even wear helmets). I would recommend taking a look at the wiki about the weapon path. I remember I had the option of upgrading my bowgun to another type or I could just buy it. The only difference I noticed so far is that when you upgrade from another weapon it is WAY cheaper and you need less resources. I would personally prefer poison lol. If you do get that armor watch out for resistance it is fairly important. Wouldn't want you to run up on a fire monster and your armor is weak against it. Your best bet though is to find a great weapon suited for each situation and armor.

I recall having an intense amount of trouble with Peco the first time around, which is why all the trouble i had this time surprised me, especially since my skills from Tri are mostly retained (i did fine against Barroth, who i also really struggled with the first time in Tri)

@ famousringo: i was kind of afraid too (mostly because i remember having much more trouble piercing him with low-end weapons, but Thane Lance+ did just fine).


Oh yeah, change it up to something faster. I had great success in Tri with sword + shield or hammer on Peco, and I'm sure dual blades would do well, also. If you're killing Ludroth, you can craft a watery switch axe that'll fuck that bird right up.

@dahuman, Dang, guess I really do need to get online.

I tend to be very narrow in specialization. Perhaps why Rathalos is so hard for me, because he flies around too damn much. Speed isn't the issue with Peco, nor is flight (he's almost more vulnerable there, because his flying attacks are much less bothersome than his ground attacks, yet he doesn't get up high enough to get out of the way of anything).

I could, perhaps, afford to learn Hammer, who is almost Lance's total opposite...



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Very good advice.

Well I may as well join this discussion.

Got my copy yesterday in Australia, I got the last copy on Wii U/ 3DS appeared to be sold out, so they game must be selling well (OR WE GOT FUCK ALL STOCK).

I played the demo before getting the game so I still considered myself a noob lol.

Haven't had a chance to play the full game yet as also got other games.

So you can add me as a casual MH3 player atm.

Hammer's pretty great. It lacks for reach, but it has a sweet combination of power and mobility. My only real beef with it is that it can't cut tails, so I wouldn't be inclined to use it against Rathalos. 

Long sword would probably do pretty well against Peco, too. It has a lot of sharpness at low level, so it can slice through those annoying flints.

I'd encourage you to branch out and find a few different weapons that suit you. Not only are particular weapon types more effective against different monsters, but it's easier to amass a varied arsenal of elemental types so you can really target a beastie's weakness.

Of course I can! Welcome to the hunt!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Alright guys, we need to organise a weekly hunt (at least one!) where everyone can play together. I'm thinking one for NA, one for PAL, and one for both (is cross play working?). Sound good? Throw out suggestions please, I'd like to update the OP properly soon so this first series of hunts could go live as soon as next week!

Also, post your HR if possible. Does it follow the same system as Tri, or is it different?
