James Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) Will be playing this today at some point, probably in the afternoon. Still dont understand it all. I did a few offline quests, should I keep doing them or could I just keep playing online? To add, I wasted 50 minutes trying to catch a fucking goldenfish yesterday, FUCK THAT Edited April 25, 2010 by James
yesteryeargames Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 id play a few more offline 1st online can seem daunting 1st time
Hero-of-Time Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 To add, I wasted 50 minutes trying to catch a fucking goldenfish yesterday, FUCK THAT Takes 2 seconds if you use the right bait. Just combine a firefly and Snakebee Larva and you have Goldfish bait. this will only make goldfish appear and bite down on the fishing rod. Had some good quests with my nephew, his mate and Stallion off these very forums this morning. We did the goldfish quest and Royal Ludroth crashed the party, he was in for a surprise when we dropped our fishing rods and killed him in 5 mins. We killed a few more boss monsters for fun aswell, most of them taking no more than 5 mins now as myself and my nephew and some pretty strong equipment on us. Has anyone tried doing the arena quest online yet? The fastest i've got so far has been 3mins 40odd secs, just can't seem to get that S rank!
Nasir Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Can Europeans play with australians online since we're both PAL, or is it strictly Eu - Eu?
killer kirby Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Can Europeans play with australians online since we're both PAL, or is it strictly Eu - Eu? Who knows, since AUSTRALIA HASN'T GOT THE GAME YET!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:
Guy Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 This is tempting me. Is it okay that it's tempting me?
Hero-of-Time Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Who knows, since AUSTRALIA HASN'T GOT THE GAME YET!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: I dunno if this helps but my mates brother gave him his Wii to play this on and its an Australian machine but he's using the European game. He's been playing with us just fine so hopefully you guys will just hook up with us.
ShadowV7 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 This is tempting me. Is it okay that it's tempting me? Give in to temptation. You owe it to yourself!
STOOPIDDITTIES Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 I apoligise to Ike, Marcel and STOOPIDDITTIES. Ike came into town and left me a message but I was away in the shower, Marcel entered town as I went offline to kill Lagiacrus andSTOOPIDDITTIES entered town and couldn't join our quests last night due to a lower HR. I felt like you're little brother who wasn't old enough to go out late with you and your friends.

No problem we'll play some other time:P Does the game support EDTV/HDTV? There should be a marking in the back cover, if so. I'm using a PC monitor, and the cable only works with games that support EDTV. Also, how is the wiimote control scheme? Tolerable or frustrating? Yea the game supports EDTV/HDTV, and yes the wiimote-nunchuck config is playable. And i may sound weird but i find the game less confusing with the wiimote and nunchuck. And now for all of you: Im really impressed with the visuals on MH3, its sertainly the best looking wii game to date (expecially the desert, my jaw litterly dropped and i own a 360, and playing on a 37 inch hdtv). Really curious how nintendo will top that with zelda wii:grin:
Mokong Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 You should have stayed on a little longer, Mokong. We were gonna go kill something big to get you some good armour. As for Moga Woods, yeah it only has 12 areas. Haha, I would have liked to but the wife vito'ed my play time
Shino Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted? Holy crap, someone really nerdy translated that.
James Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) Well this game soundly drags you in a keeps you going, Struggled ages to beat that thing that you have to fight in the water, royal something or other. with the tail you can chop off and the mane. then joined a game with some level 7's and finally beat him. Like the way everyone seems to get on well and no dicking about. Quick question, your HR when that goes up do any stats? Or it only goes up so you can unlock more areas and quests to defeat more bigger enemies to then gain better armour and weapons? Edited April 25, 2010 by James
marcel Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) OMFG Monsterhunter tri debuted at nr5 in the UK chart:hehe: is this finally the breakout core game for the wii, and showing that such game CAN sell on the wii?.

OMFG Monsterhunter tri debuted at nr5 in the UK chart:hehe: is this finally the breakout core game for the wii, and showing that such game CAN sell on the wii?. Think we'll know by the end of this week, but its a very good sign:bouncy: Outstanding! Looking at the amount of people online quite a few picked it up across Europe. Well my long weekend marathon of playing MH is over and its back to work I go. I managed to put in just under 60 hours and get to HR 19 so it wasn't all bad. Last night me and my hunting party had our HR 17 urgent quests so we had to fight Lagiacrus 3 times in a row. Now the fight offline is already pretty cool but online its so much better. Its great seeing your mates swim about trying to look for an opening to attack, and the teamwork element really paid off. One of the sidequests is to collect a wyvern tear which is pretty simple in any other fight but in this you want to be at full strength. I threw a Sonic Bomb which made Lagi drop one, my mate picked it up and then used a Farcaster, which teleports you back to base, while the rest of us kept attacking. It worked out great as he got back to the fight alot quicker. After the first fight we really got the hang of it and eventually we were bringing him own with ease. As a bonus myself and one of my group managed to snag a couple of Lagi Plates ( carve/reward rate 4%/6% ) which was a nice surprise. Offline im into the last set of quests and some of the monsters now are dealing some major damage. My little Cha-Cha friend has become a welcome addition as he acts as a great distraction while I heal or sharpen my weapon. He was VERY helpful in the Barioth fight as that thing was a nightmare. Once I managed to chop off its tail it wasn't as hard and I got the win. This week is going to be hell having to go to work 2-10, im gonna miss most of the hunts online. I will have to do some early morning cramming sessions.
marcel Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) Outstanding! Looking at the amount of people online quite a few picked it up across Europe. The numbers arent in just yet (yea yea i know VGchart isnt very reliable, but its the only open sales data for europe atleast) but the best first week for a monster hunter in europe is 25 000 and thats for Monster hunter freedom unite for the psp. But judging from the UK data, and the people online i would say that tri has passed that. And that only proves that good games, with great online and good graphics. And with decent marketing a wii core game CAN sell well. Also, i could be wrong but is this the first "core"3rd party wii game that hit the top 5 in the UK? or are there more games that got that?

dazzybee Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Hero, now you've played it more. How similar are the quests for online and offline? I know I keep asking, but I wondered if they keep mirroring each other completely or not; or whether they become separate entities.
Kav Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 I can see why this game is so big in Japan, it's absolutely amazing! I wish I couldve put more hours into it so far though, I'm not playing it nearly as much as I'd like to!
LostOverThere Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 Whoa, a series that's never done well in the West and is now on a console where core games typically don't sell well...is at number 5? Damn...

I know I keep asking, but I wondered if they keep mirroring each other completely or not; or whether they become separate entities. They are pretty much the same until you get to the higher ranked quests online. I went straight online last night after work and got down to some 3 Star questing. We took on Rathlos which is alot harder than the previous games. Capcom seem to have given the beast more HP and his new attacks are quite brutal, especially if your armour has a weakness to fire. They have made so the thing doesn't fly around as much which is a relief. We also fought a Gigginnox which is a freaky looking thing. If you've played MH1 its very similar to Khezu except its a poision type and has two heads! He kept leaping around the ceiling and then flattening me, but we managed to kill the sucka. Finally we took on Uragaan which after 30 mins of fighting killed us. The thing is quite the beast and we got it limping but we couldn't bring it down for the kill. He turns himself into a rock ball and bombs around the zone at you. He also pounds down on you with his massive chin. I did a little more offline questing today as im trying to make full Rathlos armour and to my surprise I received a Rathlos plate in the rewards screen after the mission! Im getting very luckey with these things so far. Edited April 27, 2010 by Hero-of-Time

We need to arrange a meet for all the N-Europe people, especially those who have Wii Speak
The-Ironflame Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) I'm trying to gather material offline as online you don't get much time with four people wanting to complete the missions as quickly as possible but it's getting pretty repetitive due to the first star missions having exactly the same layout as Moga woods. Edited April 28, 2010 by The-Ironflame
daftada Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 I'm gonna give this another go tonight, enjoying it so far! You can read how I got on with my first hour with the game at my blog (link in my sig!). I can already feel myself getting addicted to this!!
marcel Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 accourding to VGCharts (yea yea i know) the game sold a whopping: 111 000 in its first week in the US and 73 000 in its first week in europe You can say all you want but this pretty much proves that core games DO sell on the wii. Because the best week of a monster hunter game is the US sold: 49 000 (Monster hunter freedom 2 for PSP) and 17 000 for europe (Also Monsterhunter freedom 2 for psp) 1,21 million sold to date!!!! So developers stop whining about core games dont sell on wii, they do if you put some effort in the game and do some decent marketing!!!! It cant get more hardcore than monsterhunter:grin:
