Hero-of-Time Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Actually Adam, you can remap the controls so that you can attack with the right analogue stick! Cheers. Thats good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I thought fuck it and ordred the treasure chest edition. I already have wii speak, I already have a pro crontroller and two other classic controllers, but I don't have a monster bust and I most definitely don't have a treasure chest..... would have been rude not to...

ShadowV7 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Kind of hoping that GAME drops their price for the chest down to £49.99 like everywhere else, then can use the reward points. Really want those 2 busts. Saying that, I still want to see what size they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Do you all have unlimited broadband? Indeed. I thought unlimited was the norm for most, if not all, of the internet providers these days? I approve very much of dazzybees actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Saying that, I still want to see what size they are. There's a Hong Kong seller selling two Monster Hunter busts on eBay, and it states that they are around 11cm tall. They look similar in style to the one's we're getting, but the description say's they're made from PVC which is a bit off putting for myself..

Mokong Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I just seen a proper advert for it on the TV, showing some good in game footage and all... it was going so well until the narrator said the name of the game pronouncing the "Tri" as "try" instead of "3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, they're just treating "Tri" like a subtitle. My theory, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 That's how you pronounce it though I think. It's really 'Monster Hunter Tri'. Or so I was led to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokong Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I always assumed the "Tri" was still pronounced as in the number 3, I figured the misspelling was some kind of Japanese thing with Capcom trying to look cool or different somehow... or that it was a play on "Wii" Just hearing it say "Monster Hunter Try" on the advert sounded weird to me and made a little less sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STOOPIDDITTIES Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I thought it was 'Monster Hunter Tree'. ... Guess not then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren of Heavens Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) It is. Tri as in trilogy and triple for instance. Tri = Three in Czech, Slovak, Welsh, Bulgarian and some other languages. Pronounced about the same as the English word. In most European languages the letter/vocal "i" is pronounced as "ee", not "ay" as is common in English. EDIT: Some pronounce "Ico" as ay-co, while it really is ee-co, which mean "let's go" in Japanese. Edited April 13, 2010 by Ren of Heavens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 The IGN review has scared me slightly...it seems the game is still for the hardcore and does take many hours to get into etc...and fully understand. I'll give it a go...but i'm no longer into games which take alot of my time to show results, i just can't be dealing with games like that at the moment for numourous reasons. I have a classic controller..but not a pro, hoping that works because apparently the wii/nunchuck set-up is awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostOverThere Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 IGN US Review is up: 8.0 Presentation Not much story to speak of. Witty character dialogue. Lots of info is packed into the menus, and the game's sense of style makes it so it doesn't feel like you're staring at spreadsheets. 9.0 Graphics Excellent monster, armor, and weapon designs complemented by smooth animations. Some impressive zone backdrops, but you'd expect the frequency and duration of loading to be diminished more on the Wii. 8.0 Sound Clear and crisp weapon clangs and a wide range of intimidating monster roars along with dramatic music for battle. Many effects from previous versions return here. 8.5 Gameplay It's a challenging system with a lot to consider, but players who put in the time will find the payoffs to be worth the effort. Underwater combat can be clunky. 9.5 Lasting Appeal With an impressive online suite to facilitate social networking and a huge range of options for customization and questing, it'll be difficult to run out of things to do. OVERALL: 8.8/10 http://au.wii.ign.com/articles/108/1083123p1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beverage Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Score. Do I win something? Yes, you do win something. Nothing! Because that's precisely what you managed to "score". Since the begining I always imagined that 'Tri' would indeed be pronounced to be sounded like 'Try' (for example, a three-wheeled tricycle). Although I agree with the 'trilogy' thing, not once in all my precious days have I heard anybody phrase 'tri' as 'tree' - unless the person be Carribean or African, ofcourse.

Debug Mode Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 8.8? Oh wow! Shame it won't set every forum on fire like the 8.8 event of 06. Shit was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Before I forget again, Adam, is that Monster Hunter Guide with ONM any good? I've ben thinking about picking it up for the guide alone, but not terribly sure if it's worth the purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Before I forget again, Adam, is that Monster Hunter Guide with ONM any good? I've ben thinking about picking it up for the guide alone, but not terribly sure if it's worth the purchase. Nah, not really. I buy ONM anyway but I wouldn't get it just for the guide. Its very basic, just showing the controls, a few monsters, weapons etc. It doesn't have any tips or tricks in it or anything like that which is just aswell because half of the fun is figuring out how to beat the beasties yourself. If GAME send their orders out early then just 1 week to go!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canand Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 What should I do cancel my Monster Hunter Tri Ltd Edition Ultimate Hunter Pack order from game which is £64.94 thats with shipping or get it from Gameplay which will be £54.94 with shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_prOdigy Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) Currently trying to persuade my one real-life Nintendo-loving friend to come to the Manchester event on Saturday...

Hero-of-Time Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 LUCKY SOB!!! In other news NGamer gave this 89%. Here's a cartoon beginners guide to MH.

ShadowV7 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Ahh cool. I've been looking for something along these lines for ages. Cheers. Figure is much smaller than I thought it would be though Have to say, i've not been hyped like this for a game in such a long time. Good to see I still get a buzz of anticipation!

welsh_gamer Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Nice unboxing video. The chest is cute but much smaller than I anticipated, along with the bust which looks tacky, so I'll be cancelling that exclusive order and going with my Amazon MH3 game + controller £30.99 order. What should I do cancel my Monster Hunter Tri Ltd Edition Ultimate Hunter Pack order from game which is £64.94 thats with shipping or get it from Gameplay which will be £54.94 with shipping Obviously you should cancel your GAME order and go with Gameplay. Also, do you really need to waste an extra £5 on Express Delivery after complaning that you got Pokemon the same day as everyone else who pre-ordered?
