Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate. Post up Nintendo ID's

munchiaz · 03/17/2013, 11:05 AM

So Monster Hunter 3: ultimate drops on Tuesday (3/19) I know a lot of people who own the Wii U will be playing this. So this thread is to discuss the game and exchange Nintendo ID's. It would be cool if some of us could hunt together. Ill get things started with my ID:Munchi

I'm on the fence with this one. The demo was weird at first, but it grew on me after I killed the giant bunny. Is the multiplayer fun?

i only played Monster hunter Tri for a bit, but what multiplayer i did play was really fun,and the game is meant to be played with other people. If you want to get a better idea o fthe game, i have been watching these videos and they are pretty helpful

TheClash603 · 03/17/2013, 03:14 PM

I heard this game takes a lot of dedication... which is why I don't think I want to get it. These RPG type games are just too much work.

I have 12 Wii U games and after this comes out, I will probably still have 12 Wii U games. Would like to hear your impressions nonetheless.

munchiaz · 03/17/2013, 03:45 PM

Ill be sure to post up what i think. You are correct that this game does take alot of time. The reason why i didnt get into Tri to much was because i was already way to focused on playing street fighter 4. But this time around i really want to dig into the game. I plan on hosting some gatherings at my place and getting some of my friends into it. Maybe ill make some videos of us hunting together

TR0N · 03/18/2013, 01:38 AM

Interested since i use to play allot of MH3 tri on the wii.Still i don't have a wii u yet and that's if i do buy one later in the year.

Ji-L87 · 03/18/2013, 07:47 AM

Really interested in the 3DS version, since I and a friend already do a lot portable monster hunting with the PSP (slowly but surely making our way through high rank in Portable 3rd with english patch), but the lack of a 3DS complicates matters...and I'm not really in a position to get one right away either....hm :S Ah well, have fun with that hunting, peeps!

bob · 03/18/2013, 08:55 AM

Monster Hunter Tri for the wii always intrigued me. I have never played or even seen, just read about it. Is it something you can pick up and play for 20 mins at a time? Or is it much more involved than that?

Time consuming when it comes to monster hunter it's not a pick'up and play type of game.

The portable (or at least the PSP games) ones are somewhat that since you can always pause the game and put the system to sleep. But overall, as a game, it's pretty time consuming and can easily get a bit boring by yourself. MH is pretty much all about the group hunting experience, even though you will have to do some single hunting as well in order to farm materials.

Ok, this statement right here tells me everything I need to know. Thanks.

munchiaz · 03/22/2013, 12:56 AM

Finally got to play today after staying up til 3 am and beating Ni no Kuni last night. So far i have just done the first quest. Trying out all the weapons, and i like the long sword so far. I have only used the great sword, long sword, dual blades, and hammer so far.

Ji-L87 · 03/22/2013, 03:11 AM

Are gunlances in this version? Because I love gunlances, they're my go to weapon of choice

Badass and satisfying.

tpivette · 03/24/2013, 04:58 PM

Just came home from picking this game up. Settled into my favorite recliner, 32 ozs of Powerade, and put the kid down for a nap. Too bad it's Sunday and I have to work tomorrow...

Gun lance is in

Question: I have 2 character files on my Wii U version (one for me, and one for my gf) I transferred my character over to my 3ds game so me and my gf could play together. After we played i go to transfer my character back to the Wii U version and it states " there was an error, delete the data on the Wii U version to transfer the character"
One: Is there a way to just delete 1 character file and not both.
Two: if there is no way to delete just 1 character file, does this mean i have to buy 3 versions of the game for 2 people in the same house hold to enjoy the game together?

So i figured out the issue. I had to make a separate Wii U user account for my g/f, i also lost about 3 hours of gameplay time from playing on the 3DS.

On to other news. The game is alot of fun, and i'm really enjoying playing solo or online with friends. Just took down Rathian last night and it was a blast

tpivette · 03/31/2013, 08:18 PM

The game is really fun! My wife plays on our 3DSXL, and I on the Wii U. Haven't tried anything online though, but we have quested together.

I'm not very far yet. Just got all the Jaggi equipment, and only have one quest to go to complete all the level 2 ones (its the bear trap).

So, in order to transfer from the 3DS, you originally have to start the game from the Wii U first?

The Bear is super easy, shouldn't have any issues. I have yet to do the 1 star fishing quest. I tried and i couldnt get goldenfish, so i said fuck it.

I dont think you have to start the game on the Wii U first. My issue was i transferred my character from the Wii U to the 3ds, then i made a character for my g/f on the Wii U, we played together, then i tried to transfer the data back to the Wii U and it said i had to delete the data on the Wii U first, which would have deleted my g/f's character

So you guys can play together, online, one using your Wii U AND the other a 3DSxl?

Well it has to be local play. The 3ds version cannot be played online. The Wii U version can.

Ji-L87 · 04/06/2013, 06:25 PM

Soo...my MH friend got both the Wii U version and the 3DS version, thus I've been playing around a little bit with it on 3DS. While not having access to that 2nd thumbstick addon, the touch-d-pad "works". At least better than I imagined it would. Still feels weird that I cannot do the PSP "claw grip", finding my fingers trying to execute it all the time.

Since I have no prior experience with Tri before, it sure feels different than the PSP games. And really bewildering, especially the menus, they're really different. Not sure about you guys but I found text on the 3DS screen hard to read, partially because it upon closer inspection looked interlaced. The screens ability to do 3D is probably to blame for that, anyway.
Still quite fun, we tried out the Wii U/3DS local multiplayer a bit as well. That dang songbird called in a Rathian

- less than good times were had since we still were using the starter equipment. Still beat it tho'

Despite some oddities, it feels pretty promising

Too bad I don't have a 3DS/Wii U of my own yet. Must say that the 3DS's speakers are surprisingly good for being jammed into such a cramped space.

Im on vacation right now in buffalo NY. I went to the local play N trade to play some fighting games, brought my 3ds with me, and there were 3 other people playing MH. So we all hunted together. Took down the barrioth, niblesnarfe, and the volcanic dragon (forget his name) The game is so much fun when playing with people

I have been in that Play N Trade a few times, it is a pretty decent store. I never have done any gaming there, though it seems they get a pretty decent crowd in there.

What brought you to Buffalo for vacation? Seems like an odd time of the year to come?

The Play N Trade in the north town is really nice. I'm just here to visit family, friends and eat good food. I decided to come out around this time, because my brother was also visiting at this time. Also my mom is moving out to Arizona later this month, so this would be the last time i would be in Buffalo with her.

I also went to oogie games. Most of the stuff there was over priced. Plus a lot of my buffalo friends say the people who work there are jerks. Do you know of any other game stores in buffalo?

Lastly... the Mighty Taco Nacho buffito is amazing.

I recommend going to Super Flea if you are here Saturday or Sunday. The flea market is kind of a dump, but that adds to the appeal. It is located real close to the Galleria Mall. When buying old games locally, the flea market is my #1 stop.

Try to get to Nine-Eleven Tavern in South Buffalo for some hot wings and delicious french fries. You definitely won't regret it.

It kind of bums me out that the 3DS version lacks online. It'd make the game a lot more fun. I suppose I'll stop being lazy and get a Wii U sometime though.

No, you have to download the transfer tool from the eShop.

Ultimate has been nerfed to hell and back, you barely take damage anymore. It's a waste of time to try and make armor from every single monster you fight. There are a LOT of missions to get through and repeating the early ones over and over again for materials that will quickly become obsolete will burn you out faster. Save your mats until you're having trouble finishing a quest, then just make the highest defense rank of what you have lying around and keep going.

Definitely work on improving your weapon, though. Look up the trees online so you don't dead end on a useless weapon and waste materials.

Village solo stuff is a tier below the guild stuff from the start. Everything has less health and does less damage.

The guild stuff should really be done in multiplayer almost exclusively. The monsters have the same amount of health whether there are two or four hunters in the room, so playing with more people just makes everything go that much faster.

Ive notice that compared to tri you do take less damage.I hardly suffer from fainting and when i do is because i forgot to heal.I haven't really spent time forging armor just upgrading it and beside weapons to.I'm four stars rank quest now,after i defeated lagi offline.By the way what's you're wii u id ?
