Monster Hunter Fans?

[Monocle Man]

When it was on the PS2 I played it a bit at a friend's house.
He set me up with his character (he was pretty far in the game) to battle this giant chicken.
Obviously I battled the chicken with the great ferocity you expect from someone who held the controller for not more than 3 minutes. What genius suggested you use the right analogue stick to fight instead of using it to control the camera?

I sucked at it for the brief moment I played, but it looked like great fun, I would have bought it if I had an internet-setup for my PS2.

I'm still not sure whether I should buy Freedom Unite for my PSP or not as I won't have someone nearby to play it with.
The Japanese have this "ad-hoc party" thing on the PS3 to play ad-hoc PSP games with distant people, don't they? Why don't we have it!?

I played monster hunter 2, but there was a tediousness of it, and I didn't like it. That's not to say it wasn't a good game, though, just not for me.

My friend and I have been playing MHFU2 for quite a while now. She uses the heavy bowgun while I prefer the normal bow. It's a fun game and we feel so manly whenever we bring down a difficult monster.

^ Wow, necro.

Played since the first MH on the PSP, and the next 2. I have around 1500-2000 hours between all 3 and only have a few monsters left in Unite I never killed, namely G-Rank White Fatalis and Crimson solo. Black solo is a pushover though.

I think i'm HR8, I didn't have much time to play when it first came out, and haven't really been back to it yet. Also OP, if you're HR9 why are you just now starting elder quests? They're easier!

I felt good when I finished the dual rajang quest, and now I have 'Monster Hunter' to do, which is a LOT harder.

EDIT: Didn't even notice how old the OP was. I was rather surprised to see a monster hunter topic with so many posts though.

Oh bloody hell I'm made of so much fail *facepalm* I didn't notice the date either.

I'm still only HR4 so I have a long way to go.

...But I'm slightly worried by the fact that MH3 is only on the Wii.

Ooh...care to explain why?

I reckon the Wii's motion controls might change the game from tactics and knowing where and when to go for monsters to just waving the Wiimote at the screen and spamming attacks.

Also, Nintendo might go for exclusivity, which means no more Monster Hunter for PSP =(

Monster Hunter Tri does support the Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro, so if you don't like the motion controls, you can always switch to the more traditional styles.

And Capcom owns the rights to Monster Hunter, so it's up to them whether or not they want the series to remain exclusive or not.

EDIT: Whoops, didn't see how old this topic was.

I own the second psp game, I was really hoping for Monster hunter on ps3 but when they announced it for wii, I got kinda pissed, I have a wii but I rather not play on it.

Yeah, sometimes you need A LOT of control with certain monsters and 'control' and 'wii' don't really mix >.>
