RedShell Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Ooh! Mine has arrived too! Along with a weird looking (and even weirder smelling ) Tetsucabra figure. Seems like I missed the dispatch email. Good times. 1
Dufniall Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Wait, UK gets it 3 days before release AND gets a figurine with your pre-order? Damn. You got it from the UK Nintendo store?

You got it from the UK Nintendo store? Nah, I got my copy from Simply Games. Think it’s pretty rare for the Nintendo store to break the street date. Anyone know if the 3DS save data transfer thingy is up and running yet? I know the download is available on the 3DS eShop, but I’m not sure if transfering works before the servers actually go up on Tuesday. Probably won’t be playing this until then anyway, as I also got Kiwami 2 today so am currently being distracted by that. Edited August 25, 2018 by RedShell
Mandalore Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Kinda annoying seeing people on my friends list playing this, but if I buy it from the eShop it won't unlock until Tuesday. And it'll cost me £10+ more than a boxed copy. I thought 3rd party publishers might have had more common sense with digital pricing than Nintendo does.
Gourmetsalt Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Welp, I've just bought it, do not judge me. I want to face this big, bad boi once again. May I ask if it would be possible to play with all of you through Discord? I have been waiting for quite sometime now to hear your voices and yelling and so.

Are you transferring your 3DS save data over? ShopTo I cancelled my Nintendo Store order when I realised I already had it pre-ordered for cheaper. I am transferring over, so that's at least a hundred odd hours of progress. 7 hours ago, Glen-i said: Sweet! Get a nice headstart on those single player quests. Or more importantly, think about any shout-outs you might want to tweak. Thankfully I started grinding through a fair amount of those single player quests a month or two ago, still got a few to go though. Yes, customising the shout-outs would be a good idea, I was kind of hoping that voice chat might have just "worked" with this version, like on MH3U on the Wii U but nevermind. Using the shortcuts and text chat can be fun in its own way, the best shortcut which would apply to Nintendo regarding getting voice chat to work though would have to be... "At least you tried!" 1 2
S.C.G Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Annnnd I'm all transferred over to MHGU! It's a bit daunting, but it works, not everything transfers, mostly just all of your stuff, your HR level caps out at 8 and all of the quests you've beaten. Obviously your guild cards vanish as well, you get a small item bonus if you had Monster Hunter Stories data on your 3DS (or just the demo) and that's about it. Oh yeah and your timer starts from zero again so, I'm going to start putting some hours on the clock. 2

S.C.G, I’m sticking with Yakuza for today, but plan to transfer my Generations save data tomorrow morning and fire up Ultimate for the first time, so if you’re available tomorrow for some hunting let me know! Looking forward to checking out this new Hunter’s Pub... It still has the arm wrestling barrel, right? 1

Sadly there is no arm wrestling barrel that I can see but the Hunter's Pub has everything else you could possibly want and more.

RedShell Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 Save transfer completed and I’m all ready to hunt! It even transfered over my custom shout-outs, unless Capcom have changed the default one for setting a trap to “just covering a poo” Have so far checked out the new locations and done a few quests, it’s funny how there are a set of in-depth tutorial quests for basically every single aspect of the game that would’ve been absolutely perfect for the demo, but they instead released possibly the worst demo ever. Anyway, looking forward to properly getting back into this now. Despite a few recent sessions on the 3DS version (and the Switch demo) I’m quite rusty though, and seem to have forgotten lots of stuff too. Hopefully it’ll all come back to me the more I play. I also see that Capcom have added an option to remove the text overlay on the results screen! That, combined with the Switch’s screenshot capture mean it’s finally possible to preserve clean versions of some of those awesome freeze-frames from the end of a quest. Have wanted that as a feature for years, so am well chuffed about that. 1 1

I put in about 12 hours of hunting yesterday overall, so I've just been doing a bit of sorting out for a bit but I can hunt pretty much any time now aside from when it's time for Dinner. What would be the best time for you to get some hunts in? Best times for me would probably be... 4PM - 6PM and then 7PM until 11PM? (or later depending on how long you want to hunt for) Either way, let me know amigo and we'll go and butcher some Astalos. Loving the new avatar as well. 1

Mandalore Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 Does the full game have inbuilt voice chat like MH3U did?

RedShell Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 1 hour ago, Mandalore said: Does the full game have inbuilt voice chat like MH3U did? Not sure. USB keyboard support for text chat though (as I just discovered while playing online with S.C.G) although it’s a bit cumbersome as you need to press the minus button on the controller to bring up the chat window before being able to type. Would be so much better if that happened automatically upon pressing a key. Hopefully Capcom can patch that in. Anyway, great hunting session @S.C.G! Really good fun, and some classic moments there already. We mainly took on the easier G rank monsters (at my request, as I’m still warming up ) but yeah, it went very well (other than a bit of calamity on the dual Kecha Wacha quest, where we got jumped! ). Thanks again for the hunts. I probably won’t be online tonight (want to get a bit of Yakuza in as well) but will definitely be around again tomorrow. 1

We haven’t had that since Tri on the Wii! Does it have an onscreen keyboard in handheld mode by any chance?

RedShell Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 Here are a couple of vids from earlier on... S.C.G putting the brakes on Diablos in style!: Me doing something silly (as usual ): Oh, and I snapped a pic of the new award you get for transferring your 3DS save data: Nice for it to keep a record of total play time and HR, seeing as they reset/change on you ultimate save file.That 1 minute is going to annoy me forever now though. 4

Yeah, that USB keyboard support is a godsend, I just took the keyboard from my PC, plugged it in and it worked! (got it plugged in again now but on the front of my PC and I've put a USB breakaway cable into my Switch dock as I know I'm going to be swapping it out frequently) I found that press "Enter" on the keyboard will bring up the chat window (or it does on mine) so no minus button needed, you just type as normal then. But yes, an absolutely stellar first early Bank Holiday Monday hunting session there @RedShell I really enjoyed our hunts a lot, I captured some clips and screenshots too. (nothing quite like those beautiful moments you just captured in the post above though) We just breezed past that Urgent quest between us, no joke... that hunt took me three failed (but almost completed) runs yesterday... and we blitzed it in 10 mins? Quite a nice mix of quests on G Rank... well, when I figured out which NPC to talk to in order to get to it (I'm clearly not used to the new pub area yet) Those two Kecha Wacha were like a tag-team of fighters until we split them up... and then split them up again... into pieces! And thank you for the hunts, I really do appreciate you taking some time away from Yakuza as I know that's another series which means a lot to you and it will do to me, in time. Cheers, my fellow hunter and comrade, it has been too long. 2
