Link it then fool!

The game goes online at 5pm on Friday for me. I plan to spend the train journey home D/Ling it. I'm supposed to be going out for dinner with the Mrs., but I'm strongly considering feighning illness.

+ online is free
+ friend list fully supported

- NOT out at midnight of release day to download
- needs 13920 blokcs (1740MB) to download
(last two facts taken from website http://www1.capcom.co.jp/monsterhunter/4/)

That's good because:

+ I'd not pay to play.
+ I'm only adding other MH4 players to my friend list on this JPN unit anyway.
+ I have 229,000 open blocks.

That's not good because:

- Ho ****ing noes!

It's a smaller D/L than MH3U and the Data Transfer Program together though.

I'm going to need a translation of all of these screens, there's a whole lot of them. It seems pretty straight forward once you are in the tavern though. Wii U Chat is going to be my best friend. Yours too Steven. Jaja.

It looks all kinds of awesome when he gets on it's head and starts SOTC-styling it.

WiiU chat is only between 2 people though, and not being funny, i have no intention of video chatting with anyone.
I was thinking TeamChat on Vita or Google Hangout or something.

[J0e Musashi]

No, I mean so you can tell me how to play it, because there is no in-game voice chat.

[kryss]

Yes, I know what you meant. For regular playing once you've gotten comfortable with the system we'll need some kind of group voice chat though.

[J0e Musashi]

Simple. Everybody boots up Heroes of Ruin. We create a private room, and just hang around in the port.

[kryss]

We could do the same thing with MH3U.

[J0e Musashi]

That'd mean you'd have to sit near your Wii U. Not exactly a major problem, but we'll get it sorted out. We still need to get the others together anyway.

Does everyone have a Vita who is playing MH4? Cos I definitely want to get in on voice chat.
I preordered Monhun4 just to play with you guys!

[J0e Musashi]

I don't have a Vita. This is why I suggested the 3DS Heroes of Ruin method. Or Like Steven says we could use Wii U MH3U to do it. I reckon they'll add voice chat to MH4 in an update later down the line though. It seems odd it not being included what with it being fully online and all.

Google Hangout.

[InvisibleKid]

Google Hangout probably then - I don't want my Event Log time for Monster Hunter to go up unnecessarily. (<--- OCD loser.)

[J0e Musashi]

I can do Google Hangout. It's free on iOS devices. I'm turning my camera off though. I like to hunt naked.

I'll deffo be going Bow again.
