Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (3DS/WiiU) review

[hush]

Do you think th demo of this is a good way to show off the game

[rmoxon]

No. The demo is rubbish.

So I bought an XL today and got this with t. First time with an MH game, and I'm hoping its good for single player!!

[rmoxon]

It is.

[Hartley Hare]

It sure is

How is the grinding when played on 3Ds/completely offline? That's the thing that would get me down, if there's too much of it...

Yeah, about that...

->Open Spoiler<-

you won't like it

[Golgo]

Ta, that's all I needs to know ...

[kryss]

Just imagine if you do enjoy it and then you decide to go and get the WiiU version. You don't lose anything you've already got as you can just transfer your character save straight across.

Got my HR6 double Brachy urgent done last night and now I'll be spending the next couple of days doing endless solo volcano runs to get Tru Armor and Allfire stones. The bonus zeni from all the Ancient Shards is always nice of course.

[MrKirov]

Yeah, about that...

Wish I knew that before buying it

It's not true that you have to grind alot. I remember that I played the majority of the single player in Tri without grinding. Grinding is only really important if you want to complete armor sets and get the best weapons.

Sounds a bit better! I don't mind grinding provided I'm loving the game, but sometimes it makes me not want to bother.

The only MH experience I've had was 5 minutes on a PSP version and it was confusing and boring- this thread made me get it so I hope it's good!

[rmoxon]

It's more acsessible than the psp games. It takes a while to get going still though while you learn the ropes. I'd recommend using the wiki too, as it will help with many things. And if you don't understand somthing about the game just ask in here. I've put hundreds of hours into the series since getting into it a few years back so I should be able to help.

[MrKirov]

I think I'll need it- although stupidly I thought you could play it online with you folks on the 3ds version- I was all :O when I realised I was wrong

[kryss]

You can via a WiiU.
