That Monster Hunter 4 trailer is awesome. But I never played an MH game before. Can someone summarize what the game is about? To me it looks like a Phantasy Star Online game.
Alright. Monster Hunter is the most interesting game I've played on the psp. and i hope to god this is also coming to the psvita because its been on the psp for 3 titles.
Soooo monster hunter is a game that requires patience... you get to be whatever kind of hunter you want to be. there is no leveling. your survival is totally dependent on your armor and weapon. each kind of weapon has a completely different play style. you wouldnt use a greatword the same way you would use a long sword... or else you will mostlikely get rapped. That is if your fighting one of those big monsters like you saw in the trailer. each quest is gonna take you 10+ mins but it feels rewarding as hell when you finish it either to just get the checkmark that its done or because you took down some huge monster. my favorite monster by far is the Rathlos, that's the one that was spitting out fire. the tigrex, the other one in the trailer, will most likely be the biggest beginer challenge for you. ahhhh i can keep going but there is honestly too much information. My suggestion is if you have a psp or a wii and don't feel like going to buy the game, hack one of them and download the game haha. the first monster hunter i played was 2g i belive it was called... lol. and i put in 200+ hours on that bad boy before my brother messed up my memory and erased everything... and then i went onto monster hunter 3g, amazing game, but seemed kinda shorter, but also there is no american release for it so it kinda put me off using the translation and having to play and i had to connect through this thing called xlink kai to play with ppl all over the world because those *hit heads don think its important to put inferstructure mode on the psp versions. but you can do both offline and online modes but if you have no one helping u in online, its gonna be really hard. and half the fun is playing it with people.
When i first got the game, i was completely put off by it because i felt it was so hard and took too long and deleted it, but i was back about a month later playing it. one reason i stopped is because i didn't read t he quests right. there was a quest where i was supposed to recover an item and a tigrex showed up ( this was at the very beginning too. and i thought i had to kill it which was pretty much impossible at this time, so i quit and said how am i supposed to kill this crap. turns out i was supposed to just run from it.)
this is the only game that has really ever got me out of playing only call of duty lol, that and fable, but its a unique game, its a great game, it requires patience, and if you fail a quest after about 40 mins of doing it, you're going to be pissed. the game is frustrating but its fun as hell. just wished more people played it in usa, its not that well known. but theres a reason this stuff sells like candy in japan. please try it
you'll either like it or hate it.
