Any Monster Hunter Fans Here?

I don't see anyone talking about it. I'm an extremely huge MH fan & I just got my hands on a copy of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for the Wii U & I've been playing non-stop ever since. All my other Wii U games are dust collecting right now lol. Does anyone else here play? My GF & I hunt all the time, it'd be great to hunt with some other Trinis too.

I have had a long distance affair with this game since forever.

Dribbling over the videos online but never actually played it once due to its mobile roots at the time (3DS)

Loved every thing about it except the dated graphics (again due to its 3DS roots)

Just got a Wii U for my son....so now I can FINALLY get in on the action. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate immc

Will be picking this up for sure.



Can't wait till they bring out a Wii U version for Monster Hunter 4

Hopefully it will get some additional HD texture loving to make the game look somewhat on par with "nextgen" offerings.

LMAO Sell you? Do you have any idea how huge & popular this franchise is? Nintendo should be thanking the gods Capcom moved it over to their consoles only. It was a Sony thing at first. Not a 3DS thing. It was a Psp/PS3 thing, then Wii, then it launched for Wii U & 3DS at the same time. Btw the 3DS version actually looks gorgeous & clocks a steady 60FPS. Has no online though. That's where the Wii U version dominates. This game is as long as it gets. Think MMO RPG, but hack & slash with lots of planning around traps, forging armour, weapons, items. You can take the strategic approach, or brute force approach. Farming, fishing, controlling the resources of an entire village basically. Everything can, & most of everything has to be, crafted from ground up. Digging, mining, carving out of monsters, to get materials to make things. I had Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii. With over 350 hours of gameplay, I didn't even scratch the surface of the game. The guys who were experts were clocking at like 1500 hours of gameplay & STILL couldn't do certain things. Online is the best. in-game Voice chat, text chat (I hook up my usb keyboard to my Wii U & chat with it in-game), 1 to 4 man groups hunting. Are you kidding me? This game sells itself. It's not about the graphics. MH never had the latest graphics, but the amount of content is ridiculous. Over 200 quests plus a TON of extra free DLC right off the bat. It's praised for being a REAL "gamer's" game. It's as hardcore as it gets. It's definitely not for everyone. Some find it too long, others find it too hard, others find it demanding too much effort to become "good". MH is not for the feint of heart for sure, but if you're a hardcore gamer or love RPGs, this game is a no brainer.

The demo is a poor example of what the game is. everything comes pre made, & variety is bland. literally it makes the game appear like a lot less. I hated the demo. Bored me to death. It's to be expected though. The demo allows you to "casually run" the game, while in the real game EVERYTHING is a constant grind, which is the fun part. You work HARD, but then you see it paying off when finally you can slay that dragon all on your own without dying a gazillion times. It can take a good 20 hours of gameplay before you actually start getting into the groove of things & having fun depending on the type of gamer you are, & that's where the demo fails possible consumers. You either don't like that shit demo right off the bat & think you hate the game, or love it right off the bat & think you love the game. I know people who loved the demo but when they finally got the actual game, they couldn't take it.

Ouch @ 1500 hours in

That is a bit more commitment than I can spare at the moment. Maybe in 2016

Loving Mario Kart cause when I get home, could do a quick 4 or 5 races and call that a night.

Will try the demo at least, the long distance love affair may have to settle for a one night stand. lol

LOL That last line killed me. Yeah if what you say is accurate & you've only got time to do 4-5 races in MK8 then call it a night, then Monster Hunter is definitely not what you need right now. Of course, you can go online & do 4-5 hunts & call it a night, but it may vary as 1 hunt could take an hour depending on the amount of people you hunt with, their skill & strength. Then there's the issue of getting stronger. You could do a hunt & call it a night, but there's no way you're gonna get all the parts for armour that quickly. When I hit it for like 14 hours or more a day, it can take me anywhere from 2 days to a week to get everything for a set of armour, depending on the set. So yeah you can do it, so long as you don't mind progressing through the game like a snail...& you see it too cuz you're gonna keep running into guys & start wondering how the hell they covered so much ground in such little time. I don't even think hunters sleep lol. I probably make this game sound awful but it's the best. You have trouble putting it down. Sometimes I have to force myself to stop. It's super addicting. I'm just glad I still managed to pull off an A on my Networking finals while playing this thing LOL.

This is a great game but I cant find the time to play it in full.
