Monster Hunter Tri

[Smavey]

Oh my God, there are so many people bashing the game who CLEARLY haven't played it.

The tutorial is not even CLOSE to 10 hours. You can do it in 45 minutes if you're not a complete retard.

I know! Reading these comments are hilarious.

To the people confused about the weapon degrading...it's such a minor part of the game you never notice. it takes 3 seconds to bring your weapon to full power again and it's something you have to do every 15 minutes. Also it's FREE to do that...

Anyway. If you are a casual gamer, this game is not for you. If you aren't and like a FUN challenging game, this game probably is for you

Try killing smaller monsters after paintballing the boss(in a different map) , it takes 5 hits to get it to a state where it won't drop for a minute or two, so go fight the boss and as long as they don't fly away, you won't lose your spirit bar.

Also try eating Meat+Dairy before going into battle, it gives you lot of heath(45) and a small defense boost(5) and eating firedose berry(I think not sure about the name) right before battle helps a lot too.

As for Icy hot, its like bengay, and it hurts like hell, someone dared me, I had to prove my manlyness. Never again though

1.)I kill the little monsters too fast, they die before I can pump up.
2.)I usually use Kingturky/Mutton&JumboBread/Rice but thanks for the tip ^_^
3.)as long as you proved you're awesome then it was worth it

Your positioning is way off if you're having that much trouble with Rathian. You shouldn't be getting fireballed or poisoned unless you're in front of her. Sheath your sword and get to the side/behind. She stands still a lot if she's not in enrage, getting yellow gauge on her should be simple. She doesn't spend long in enrage time, so just patient and put survival above damage until she does. Even if you can't boost your long sword's aura, it's not THAT huge a boost (yellow aura is maybe 6-7% increased damage over no aura). Bring a full set of antidotes, they're cheap to buy. Poison is not a status you want to try to heal through in this game.

1.)she always gets a cheapshot in, and thats usually what kills me.
2.)I am fairly good at dodging, but she spins then gets a quick hit in while im stunned
3.)regular fireballs dont hit me, i usually get hit with the wide explosion one while doing a roundhouse-slash
4.)I KNOW ABOUT BERRIES, IM NOT THAT STUPID!!!
5.)usually I just take the free antidotes from the box, never get poisened more than what they give you.
6.)I usually heal first when using an antidote so I can move to a better position, then whatever damage the poison does will heal over time.
its a cheap stratagy I learned while online
7.)whenever im online I get placed with people who think its funny to use a hammer to send me into the line of fire(no pun intended)

Note: Offline, the spirit combo is a lot better; it's just that online, having an "Everything in 10 yards gets launched across the map" isn't useful when your hammerer is trying to superpound and your SnS guy is breaking the beasts chest/paws/on the other side of the tail.

In multiplayer, I work around this by playing a turtle lancer and having my long sword friend go crazy once I paralyze/knock down/sleep the target, while he uses back-slashes and jabs.

I keep my shield up and call for alternating attacks since I can still jab with my guard up. It works very well against most Wyverns and decently against some of the bigger game.
Also, status effects on lances = endless hilarity. Like chain paralyzing Plesioth by jabbing it in the balls/shins.

As for Mr. Croshaw's throwaway "Up yours" line for anyone who liked the game(s?)...Nice fallacy there with the gross generalization. Way to be professional.

Imagine that you have to tie your shoes every 15 minutes for the rest of your life AND IT'S FREE!

oh YEAH!!!
well maybe that wouldnt be a problem if the hammer guy wasnt TOSSING US HALFWAY ACROSS THE MAP IN FRONT OF THE ENEMIES ATTACKS!!!!
and longsword cuts off parts alot faster than sword and shield...

hammer works best on the head/side, stunns them quicker.
most monsters you can cut off the tail.

@everyone This is also a review think about it would a person new to RPG's even know about the stuff you are talking about?

What if a person bought a used one with no manual or doesn't want to read a manual.
You have to take in account this review isn't for fans it is for the friends of fans new to rpgs and video games.

Their friends tell them to play Monster Hunter Tri telling them it is great, but instead they get the piss bored out of them for more than 90 mins because they are new to rpgs altogether and they are sitting there the whole time asking you what to do.
I wouldn't want this crap as a new rpg gamer and I would quit.

Huh? I'm talking about a video game eh? Tying your shoes is a hassle, sharpening your weapon really isn't. It's purpose is to balance out the weapons in the game. Iron weapons are sharper but deal less damage, and bone weapons deal more raw damage but are usually duller. In my opinion it helps balance the game out and gives players more options. For example, GrimHeaper, you might not like having to sharpen your weapon - so get an iron sword. In my opinion it helps the game out by giving players more options when deciding what weapon you are going to use.

I mean, there are some flaws to the game for sure, but sharpening your weapon really isn't one of them

 

[normaldeviant]

I agree entirely, Yahtzee. I may never know what the appeal is that all of these mmorpg's and would-be mmorpg's have. They seem like training programs for turning young gamers into crazy old people, starting with simple things like hording and terrible social skills and ending with myopia and the use of adult diapers.

If you're looking for an RPG game, MH isn't the way to go anyways. The only RPG element there is well, the skills, which you don't really need anyways. But you do have a valid point, MH isn't really for people who just started gaming. As for the tutorial on the other hand, since it takes you by hand and just tells you what to do, you might be a little bored, but there's no way you can get lost as long as you pay attention

 

[Omikron009]

OHMYGODIJUSTSNIPPEDMYSELFTHEPAIN!!!!

I never had trouble with the Rathian... it's one of the easiest bosses in the game to solo with a switch axe, and you can easily break every part as well.

I use the longsword(and sometimes the bowgun in areana but thats not the point) and in order to do any amount of damage worth doing I have to yellow the spirit gage,
which requires me to stand still for longer than the rathian allows me to.
plus my fire resistance is -19, so I get one-shot killed with the fire blasts.
and I cant tell you how frustrating it is to be killed by poison the exact second you use a mega-potion/lifecrystal, because it still counts against the item and your reward and buffs decrease...
and that happens quite frequently to me.

and breaking monster parts is easy, killing them is harder (Gobul i a good example of this)

I thought I (and a few friends) were the only people who knew how much icy hot hurt when applied to....sensitive areas. Wow.

Whats icy hot?
like that back patch thing?
why would you apply it to your junk?

It's that gel that's used for muscle pain. You would apply it to your junk if you were 14 years old and at camp with other bored 14 year old boys.

I really don't get the obsession with minor details with this MH3 crowd. Look, he didn't like it for whatever reasons. The fact that (most of) you registered with the escapist like, 3 days ago really speaks to the idea that you're just concerned that Yahtzee just isn't being professional about this.

Ha! No. You're just mad about your game, so you keep grasping at straws. Get over it. I don't CARE how hxcore you guys are, or how challenging MH3 is, none of you have provided a single compelling argument (mind you, havn't read all your posts) as to why MH3 is a GOOD game. You don't need to convince me, you don't need to convince Yahtzee, and at this point it seems you're trying to convince yourself a little too hard.

 

[Extreme Pajamas]

Seriously too many people care what other people think.

Yahtzee didn't like a game that you do, boo hoo hoo, this is to be expected. Even he said this, if you like it then why do you care what someone else thinks of it? Seriously go get your game put it on and enjoy it! If he doesn't then that's his loss right?

Exactly. I doubt Yahtzee cares about whether or not the viewers buy the game, and he only voices his own opinion. So he detests a game you absolutely love. Big deal. It doesn't stop you from playing your game. Stop being mad at the guy who likes to point all of the faults he finds.

Edit:

You don't need to convince me, you don't need to convince Yahtzee, and at this point it seems you're trying to convince yourself a little too hard.

This needs to be repeated.

And you know why people care that Yahtzee shit on it? Look at the first few pages. Waaaaay too many people take his reviews as word of god.

How is this in any way relevant? Not only that, but you seem to have no clue about how Monster Hunter works in multiplayer:

First off: The hammerer is more important than you. No matter what. If he hits you, you are in his way. The hammerer is the only class with the capability of stunning, so if you screw with him, it's your fault, and if he hits you, it's still your fault, because you shouldn't be near him.

The hammerer *only* hits the head. You can't stun at all with the other weapons.

The longsword isn't capable of breaking many parts the SnS is; notable examples include Quropecco's flints, Barroth's arms (mostly for the high damage, since you just break off the mud), and especially Gigginox's chest. The SnS has finesse, the longsword is much harder (and in the case of Giggi's chest, practically impossible) to hit, let alone land a full combo.

Also, you're last two lines are just... I really can't even express my distaste with words for saying something as pointless as that.

First of all MH is not a rpg.
Well, lets see I've never played any wii game before this and I did not care, so I'll just tell you what I've felt in reviews of red steel 2 which recently came out. Since I know nothing of the game, I have only the reviewers word to guide me, Yahtzee bashed on it, other reviewers thought it wasn't that bad, so if I have some extra cash I'd go buy it. BUT the point here was, again, not that Yahtzee was bashing on the game, he was inaccurate. If this many people think he was wrong, I'd probably rethink what he says in the review and do some more research before taking his word, that's all I'm saying. I'm not saying that the game is fucking amazing and if you don't like it, you're a fucking unbeliever and I'm going to kill you, its just that he made some mistakes and I saw them.

I love yahtzee, but what bothers me is that people listen to him seriously His review is so far off from the game it's ridicoulous, and funny This thread shows that people don't know that, and i think that's why people are arguing on this thread! It's sad people are listening to his comedic "review"

Oh well -got a good chuckle from it.

Back to MH3

Uh, it's good because it's a game where you FIGHT GIANT FUCKING DINOSAURS AND SEA MONSTERS WITH HAMMERS. If that idea doesn't float your boat, then you are insane. It's also fun as fuck once you learn to use a weapon properly.

And you know why people care that Yahtzee shit on it? Look at the first few pages. Waaaaay too many people take his reviews as word of god.

Well then throw me in a straitjacket and call my Larry-Poops-His-Pants because what you've just described to me isn't a good game, it's a 10 year old's napkin drawings with a couple million dollars of R&D behind it. That's not to say that's what MH3 is, that is you've just made a TERRIBLE argument. I've been reading these comments for ages and I'm still not exactly sure what kind of game this is, but I'm thinking 3rd-person slasher with RPG elements. Am I wrong? Do I care? I think the answers are the same.

Now, here's where you MH3 folks can learn something from Yahtzee, something that makes all of his fans treat his words like 'the word of god' as you said. (Or, you know, agree with him based on the facts presented.)

Give me gameplay features. Can I do something really cool in this that I havn't done in every other 3rd person hacky-slashey? Does this have something (other than RPG elements which REALLY do not interest me in the slightest but that is just me. And most of Yahtzee's audience, keep that in mind) over Shadow of the Colossus, which if I'm not mistaken is held in slightly higher opinion than pussy and beer around these here parts, as it well should be. Do I get to meet an interesting character? I've forgiven slightly shoddy gameplay for compelling and deep characters more than once. Why does he want to hunt all these monsters? A mad quest to find an antidote that hides under the skin of one of these beasts to cure him of an ailment a wizard gave him long ago after wronging the wizard in fair trade? Does he realize at the end, as he plunges his hammer into the final monster to collect his prize, that he deserves what is coming for him, not only for his sin against the wizard, but for his crimes against these creatures who did nothing to harm him other than fight back when he came to terrorize them in their own homes? He finally succumbs to the poison, atop his final kill, in this fantastic world now turned to a largely lifeless wasteland in a single man's selfish quest for self-preservation.

No? I've heard none of these things. I havn't heard anything other than swinging big dicks at monsters. And I couldn't tell you anything that bores me more.

(Goddamn that shit with the wizard sounds like a sweet idea for a game, nobody steal that)
