Posted February 7, 2013 cant wait, i have never played this game, so you can team up with like 4 players, but is it also like this? that u can see other places like in a marketplace or something? and there team up with them to do a quest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah. Basically you have like a hub area where you can meet random people. You can then jump into a town, which holds 4 people, and then start your quest. You can even just skip walking around the hub and join a random town if there is room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2013 http://www.siliconera.com/2013/02/07...region-locked/ Monster Hunter series producer, Ryozo Tsujimoto, shared the information with Gamereactor in a recent interview. This means that American players will not be able to play online with European players, and neither one will be able to play with Japanese players either. Capcom have since confirmed the news on their forums. This blows!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2013 http://www.siliconera.com/2013/02/07...region-locked/ This blows!!!! Disappointing, but not surprising. It's exactly like Tri on Wii. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Disappointing, but not surprising. It's exactly like Tri on Wii. Yeah and not nintendo's fault but capcom's decision. Edit From neogaf For the record, the good Andrew Alfonso (Project Manager for Capcom's localization department) told me and Likchan on Twitter that: It's Nintendo's servers so... What a crap day to be a wii u owner. Good going nintendo. Edited February 8, 2013 by liger05 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 8, 2013 What can be their reasoning(excuse) for this decision? A bad day indeed all round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 8, 2013 What a load of immature and predictably overblown responses to a quite reasoned decision. If you're using servers it's totally normal for people to play on local servers to improve connection add to this fact that the vast majority of people will game with people living in close proximity due to time zones then it's obvious why this decision was made. If you have two European players with an American and a Japanese then where do they play? Logically it would be the European server, but the other two would lag as they're further away, just as what happens when a European ends up in a game of COD with an American host. If everyone was thrown in together people would experience bad connections. Another simple decision blown out of all proportion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 8, 2013 I think the main problem is that the servers are completely separate. It would make sense to have random co-op based on region (even though I don't understand why anyone would want to enter a random online co-op game) and I don't think there would be any complaints, but it's annoying to stop the people who want to play with friends in other regions.

Posted February 8, 2013 I'm thinking of taking the Friday & Monday off so I have 4 days of non stop monster hunting, am I mad?! I did the exact same thing, ill play it on WiiU all day monday and friday and when my girlfriend gets home ill swith to the 3DS game. I cant loose ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 9, 2013 Mario Kart seems to play just fine. Street fighter no problems. fcuk I remember playing PSO on dreamcast on worldwide servers over a damn phone line with very little lag!! anyway I have decided to cancel my Wii U pre-order. I wasnt planning to play online till I have spent many hours on single player mode. I will do this on my 3DS so the Wii U version would be a waste of money. Will pick the Wii U version up eventually.

Posted February 10, 2013 It's the way people are griping that pisses me off. Nintendo are providing dedicated regional servers for the game, at their cost, with no subscription fees. If there's such a wealth of people just dying to spend hours on this with their Japanese and American friends, then they shouldn't buy it. But don't try and make out Nintendo are some evil corporation for making a simple business decision that will affect virtually no one. The way this news has been written up and commented on is as if the Titanic just sank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2013 Looking forward to play the Wii U - version of MH3U. Now that Ubisoft decided to cancel the February release for Rayman Legends, I chanced my pre-order for Rayman to Monster Hunter. I enjoyed playing MH Trii, although I mostly played it offline. However I'm going to correct that with MH3U, so I hope that I found some fun online company from the NE-forum too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2013 New £5 off voucher for GAME - VCUKFEB13 Use it on the Monster Hunter bundle to bring it down to £65. Again, not sure if they will arrive in time for launch day since their deliveries have been pretty slow, haven't preordered from them for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2013 I did have that bundle pre-ordered but I still think £70/£65 is too much for what is effectively the same game twice. Now I'm trying to decide which one I should go for between the two. Or if I shouldn't bother at all considering Monster Hunter Tri and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite are somewhere in my backlog.
