  1. I just took the 3DS XL out of the circle pad pro XL holder and jesus, was the system always this thin?

     

    I appreciate the comfort of the circle pad pro, but the portability leaves something to be desired. Does anyone know of a good case for the system with the circle pad pro XL attached?

     

    On that same note, im still running the original 3DS with the circle pad pro but i dont have anything big enough to put the combo unit in when im out and about. Its a pain to have to use the box it came in, anyone come accross a case that would hold both?

     

    Anyone know where i get an S.Barioth Claw+ to upgrade the Tenbra? I take it i cant just farm it off a regular Barioth but that its some sub species i havent come accross yet..


  2. Need to farm the Lagiacrus now to progress the story, not looking forward to that. Should be able to handle the hunt quest. I could upgrade my bow first but I need a Scalding Pleura from Agnaktor, might jump online and hunt him since the upgrade would help a lot (or farm Lagiacrus online I suppose).

     

    Farmed Volvidon last night and made his armour though I'm not too impressed with it.

     

    Never thought I would be happy to get Cha-cha back but he helps a lot with distracting monsters. Plus his and Kayamba's interactions are rather amusing.

     

    Im on that Laggy quest just now, keep killing the damn fool by accident, he never wants to jump up on the land for me to catch him lol. Maybe i need to use a weaker weapon...

     

    edit - ive literally hit a brick wall on this quest, its the only quest i have left to do so i cant progress until i finish it, but i cant seem to get him to go up on land a second time to capture him. I either end up killing him in that room with all the Ludroth (in the cave with the beach) or i float around with him not able to hit him for fear of killing him and i run out of time. Can anyone suggest anything? Typically im smashing his face in with a great sword until he starts moaning and swimming away and then if i hit him like 6 more times he dies, but he never goes anywhere i can capture him.


  3. Incredibly disappointed in how all this has played out, especially considering the Wii U version was supposed to be the definitive version all along, an now it doesn't even get anything. Fuck off.

     

    A polished turd is still a turd, i know we arent exactly rolling in games but this is one game i think the WiiU can afford to lose. I was as excited as anyone when a Gearbox developed Aliens game was announced but its arrived and no amount of bug fixing or rejigging of controls is going to make a bad game good. Its a real pity too, the last good Alien game in recent memory was that Aliens vs Predator shooter from Rebellion back in the 2000s.


  4. Can I have some people to help me out on Saturday, during the day if possible? Just basically to get me through some early quests.

     

    I don't have much free time to play this game and it really obviously requires a bit of a commitment... so I think a long session on a few days is better than a half heartedly half an hour every day.

     

    Cant during the day but if you are still on at night i can give you a hand, ill keep an eye out for you on the friends list ^_^

     

    That's because I am! RAAAWRRRR!!! HERO SMASH! :p

     

    I'm willing to help anyone who needs it. All you have to do is shoot a message to me. I've helped a few peeps on here kill stuff and rank up. Just because i'm a high rank doesn't mean I haven't helped people on the way. 170+ hours of gaming on the same game means there has been plenty time spread around for everybody. :D

     

    Im going to take you up on that one of these days lol, i could do with a hand later to build the rest of my UFO Grendizer armor (from that one monster that spins itself around by its tail).

     

    That Pink Rolly in the Volcano is harder than it looks, wouldnt be so bad but that green poison it sprays out is a killer if you are low on health! Need to work on getting my immunity higher


  5. Can anyone tell me what the 3DS/WiiU save sync process is? I had assumed that it was a case of (being modern and) saving on one machine with the save appearing on the other automatically.

     

    You download an app from the 3ds estore and use that in conjunction with the "transfer" option on the Wiiu version of the game to pull your character backwards and forwards from the two versions of the game. Its not perfect and im sure if there is a Monster Hunter 4 for WiiU it will be done better, but thats how it is for now. Its worth bearing in mind that the original 3ds version, Monster Hunter 3g was not an online game in Japan and they have bolted these things together to allow us to overcome the limitations.


  6. Started playing the demo of this last night, deleted it three minutes later. I must be missing what's so great lol, seemed clunky, unpolished and generally boring to me.

     

    I totally agree with the others, honestly, if i hadnt already played the game on psp and Wii before hand the demo would not have won me over. The game does not reward you outright, infact it almost seems to punish you for trying to play it like other games, its only when you have sunk some time in you realise just how good the game is.

     

    Ive probably already said this before but its definetly not a game for everyone, the game revolves around killing giant bosses, skinning them, using their bits to make armor to fight bigger bosses etc. Of course there is the gathering of resources, teaming up with friends, cooking, forging, lots of stuff that will take a huge amount time but in the end, is hugely enjoyable.


  7. Nice one! icon14.gif

     

    I'm on Table 2 (didn't do the time trick), but I've already obtained a 3 slot charm. :awesome:

    Not using it at the moment though, have got a Perception +7 one with a couple of Perception jewels to also have Capture Guru. ;)

     

    Anyway, my collection of silly weapons is coming along quite nicely. :grin:

    I now have the Cat Switch Axe, Shaka Dual Swords and the Felyoshka+ Gunlance:

     

    mhweps.jpg

     

    The Gunlance is actually pretty awesome, the charge shot is insane! :o

    Here it is with the top part off:

    Also got some new armour (FINALLY! :laughing:) it's a combination of different parts, so not really built for any specific task/skills, I just like how it looks.

    Check it out:

    Although I wish I could change the colour of that hood. :hmm:

    Oh- and as you can see in the above image, I now have Cha-Cha rocking the Mock Melynx mask too. :yay:

     

    Those Cat switchaxes and masks for Cha Cha are amazing! You must have sunk so much time into the game already lol


  8. You mean Sacred Stones which was on the GBA, right? It's a really good game though.

     

    Yeah i do lol, played the demo of the 3DS game a few minutes ago and im totally hooked, if i had the cash id totally buy it this month but alas the only monies i had paid for my Monster Hunter addiction instead lol. I will be playing the GBA one in the meantime.

     

    The demo was pretty short wasn't it?

    Seemed pretty miserly - two levels, no customisation options at all and only ten goes.

    (Having said that cant imagine playing more than once anyway.)

     

    So anyway, I am a long time fan and will definitely be getting this but I am not sure that the demo really helps the uniniated.

    What do you guys think?

     

    I havent played a Fire Emblem game before and i found the hints they give you at the beginning very helpfull, was able to understand the basics by the time the demo ended. Though to be fair, i have played Final Fantasty Tactics and Super Robot Taisen before this and they are pretty similar.


  9. Oh man, I had no joy with the Qurupeco. That bastard is like a living FIRE CONJURING shield. I think it has something to do with having to attack the softer areas on the back or behind the wings, or having a weapon with the (at this stage) elusive green sharpness.

     

    I'm currently fighting a Royal Asshole (forgot his name, brown dude with some scaled mane, rolls around a lot) and my weapon is basically doinking off most areas of his body if it drops to yellow sharpness. Whetstone, I choose you!

     

    Royal Asshole is about right, those damn things always show up at the worst possible time lol


  10. Not sure if anyone is playing this on 3DS, but if you're a non-3D gamer like me and are sick of everything looking blurry with 3D switched off, disable 3D from the start screen options menu. It'll stop the game rendering the picture twice for the 3D effect and while the anti aliasing will be removed resulting in a slightly sharper picture, the frame rate will jump up.

     

    This doesn't help with the issue of the ugly-as-sin font though - what a horrible decision that was.

     

    Ah nice catch! I started playing it in 3d but its difficult to maintain the view when sitting on a bus so started playing it in 2d, ill make the adjustments for the sharper picture. Yeah the font isnt the best lol.

     

    Finally got the full set of Barroth armor, spent hours today trying to cut that damn things tail off and then in one session i did that and then smashed his skull and got that other part i didnt have yet! Now i can concentrate on my sword...


  11. Assuming no one else has experienced this then I guess I can just put it down to some sort of glitch, just beware though. : peace:

     

    It should be okay, my WiiU was crashing a lot with ZombiU but never on anything else, the save files always stayed intact so hopefully it wont cause your file to corrupt. My 3DS game on the other hand crashes at least once during each session, ive formatted the card and it still does it, worringly it dosent do it with any other game so i think my cart is done and since i threw ot the packaging it came in i cant return it to shopto.

     

    Ill maybe just download it digitally so its always on my machine, its the only thing im playing these days anyway and im a bit scared it will crash and corrupt my character one day lol


  12. I forgot all about this until Blade and Mokong started talking about it during last nights hunt, downloading the demo just now. I kinda liked Final Fantasy Tactics back on the Playstation and really got into the Super Robot Taisen games before Nintendo decided to region lock their portables <damn you guys!>, im hoping its similar to those. I forgot i actually got the SNES one as part of that ambassador thing so might play that after ive finished the demo to see how i feel.


  13. Anyone know what to do when your 3DS starts locking up whilst playing the game? Hasnt happend on any other titles but i probably havent played it as long in one sitting as i do with MH.

     

    edit - So some people reckon it might be memory card corruption, anyone backed up a memory card via windows before for 3DS? Anything special i need to do?


  14. Btw, have you guys noticed that trading guild cards with others is actually very useful? These people will appear in the solo version of port Tanzia, and you can make them do quests for you for a little money. The rewards are actually quite good, monster parts and all kinds of rare resources! So funny seeing Mokong and you other guys going hunting for me : D

     

    Anyway, you guys were all full last night, so me and dazzybee did a few quests on our own last night. After that, I went to complete the first online urgent; couldn't find a group so just soloed it with Cha-Cha, a pretty handy feature! I also tried the arena quests, and it seems that there is now one quest for solo play, one for 2 players, and one for 4 players. Nice that they upped the variety a bit...tried the solo one, dual blades pretty much just destroyed Lambi : D

     

    I had read about it ages ago but totally forgot about the feature, its a really good incentive to be social and hunt with friends and randoms alike. I traded cards last night so ill keep an eye out for the extra quests, thanks for the reminder ^_^

     

    Just bought this, will have a few hours single player and then may venture online, never played monster hunter before so might take a good few hours to wrap my head around things

     

    Youll be fine, there seems to be a good mix of people playing early and late so you should be able to get into a game at most times.


  15. Ugh...so i say to my girlfriend, "man! Scrooge McDucks voice actor is in his 90s!" and she gives me a blank expression, i ask her if she remembers Duck Tails and she tells me she has never seen that, Rescue Rangers or Tail Spin despite being two years older than me! Looks like im buying some boxed sets on payday lol
