Mr_Master_X2 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Mine's just come (well, an hour or two ago...) and I wasn't expecting TWO figurines. Surprised when I looked at my bill though and it turned out it had been reduced to £49.99 including shipping. Excellent. Shame I won't be playing the game for a week or two though (others to finish...) Figured if I didn't preorder it would be impossible to get with the amount of advertisment it's getting.
MattyHustedUk Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 scratch that its gone to preparing for dispach
Rinha Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Just gave mine a wee run for its money.... yaps, just like i remember it from Manchester :P Hardest bit so far... was saving and pressing the home button. It's time to go back to my lab reports!! Who wouldn't want to write a report instead of playing MHT?: peace: and since people are sharing, here's my bundle of joys :P (pls note the absence of provisions next to it.... as there won't be any gaming in the near future...) i hate my life...

ShadowV7 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Wewt, finally back home. Got my stash ready and currently unboxing my lovely beast!
Rinha Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 My fuzzy stash, courtersy of the DSi. Hurray!!! ^_^ NOW GO PLAY! Play, play for those of us who can't!
Owen Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Mine arrived! Also got one of those head things for free...so it would have been pointless for me to buy that chest..(well not entirely would have got a classic controller pro..but still). The rubber stinks! haha Gonna start playing it right NOW! But only for a little while! Tired now! haha
ShadowV7 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Every pre-order get's a Rathalos figure, the chest comes with a bundled Lagiacrus figure, then you get the pre-order bonus on top of that so you get 2 in all. Out to mine me some ore for my sword upgrade

Out to mine me some ore for my sword upgrade Ah right, there well made aren't they? I really love the look of the classic controller pro too! Plays ok with the wii-mote setup though! Enjoying it so far, it's very informative! I've decided to upgrade my armour almost immediately! Lovely graphics. I'll play more tomorrow now!
Guest Captain Falcon Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 I'm a little unsure about this game now I've read more about it. It's the complexity of the combat (or rather lack of it) that is worrying me. Every video I've seen shows the character running up to the monster, doing a vertical swing followed into a horizontal swing and then legging it before turning around and doing it all over again. How does this compare to something like Phantasy Star? On the surface, at least, they strike me as being quite similar styles of games.

I like how detailed they are. And this is gonna be crazy, but armour? For noobs. Going half naked with just a sword is the way to go! Yep, i've bought no armour so far and pimped my sword up!

There is a lot of tactics involved when facing a big beastie. Get it. Especially if you're a fan of PSO. You won't regret it.

Especially if you're a fan of PSO. You won't regret it. Well that's the thing - it strikes me the PS games have a greater range of offensive maneuvers (though I've only played Zero) and yet I still found that repetitive after a while. I wish I'd gone to one of those events now and got a feel for it (however limited)... I'm off work tomorrow too so I could get a lot of quality time in with it too before the weekend kicks in fully.
ShadowV7 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Decided to go online and register. I'm not 100%, but it seems you go to the guildmaster in the tavern, and you register it automatically creates your online ID. I'm still walking about in the city though, might be wring Update: So yeah, looking at my profile, you keep your characters name from offline and you get an a random online 6 digit online ID and use those to add folk to your friend roster.

But your display name is the name you choose right? Can't wait to get this tomorrow though it will probably be like 8 or 9pm before I get a chance to play with it. Can you go online straight away to register or do you need to set up the single player first? Yeah, I quite like them actually. I like how detailed they are. And this is gonna be crazy, but armour?

You need to make a character up to take online, then(I think) when you exit, and pick your character again, you choose village(single player) or city(online) It's awesome just running around on the bare essentials and having an awesome sword! I have the materials to upgrade my armour, but lack the money so far. Also, I keep burning my meat Felt so sorry for the guy, that I ordered him some food while I was in the city. Had something to drink then went over some online settings and emotes.
The-Ironflame Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Great I've now got two copies of Monster Hunter Tri Gameplay didn't cancel my pre-order for the limited edition treasure chest and they've just started dispatching today, now I've got to make sure to be in for Parcel force delivery. Make that three copies Zavvi have also forgot to cancel my order.. Edited April 22, 2010 by The-Ironflame
ShadowV7 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 After skillfully capturing 2 small goldenfish, I jump in the water and scare the other goldenfish away Finally cooked my a well done meat. That was a big moment for me!
Shino Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 So your online character is separated from the offline one?
ShadowV7 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 The introduction itself will take a fair bit since different things are done by carrying out tasks/quests. But the basics like hunting monster and gathering some resources will take an hour or two. So your online character is separated from the offline one? Same character.
Rinha Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 After skillfully capturing 2 small goldenfish, I jump in the water and scare the other goldenfish away Finally cooked my a well done meat. That was a big moment for me! Hehe, i was about to take that quest.... ...oh, wait, i'm not supposed to be playing...
ShadowV7 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Hehe, i was about to take that quest.... ...oh, wait, i'm not supposed to be playing... Haha, I feel sorry for you. I've not put this down since I turned it on. Almost ran out of time for that quest actually. Stupid glutton fish. Kind of considering making armour now. Got a fairbit of money and getting some materials to get them forged. Guild quests are stepping up a bit now! Also, surprised at the lack of folk going online with this so far. Though I guess it's best to get to grips with the game first. Oh yeah. For the laughs, took on lagiacrus with no armour and sword an sheild. 2 hits in and got owned. Totally worth it.

Though I guess it's best to get to grips with the game first. *looks to the left* Wii is still on but i'm trying to ignore it :P Having to stop just when i was starting to get a taste of the quests... is plaaaain wrong. I did a light upgrade on armour, although it amused me greatly to run around in hotpants and a boob tube (with a kick-ass sword!!!!!! HUZZAH!). Quite like it, actually. But now i'll just grind a bit for materials and see what i can forge/upgrade. What am i saying, i won't grind anything, i'll write a report on Gaze Cueing and revise for Cognitive Science. Really, i could've played that all night. I curse my academic life. :weep: Re the online mode, yeah, i suppose that ppl are trying it for now, getting used to it... then they'll go online.. I thought about it but realized that when i do, it'll be my doom... so lets put that to the side for now! Your thoughts so far?
