I have yet to properly learn anything either from it and I began playing in MH3U lol. I just play when I'm angry and want to smash shit with dual swords.

I'm also a sucker for grinding and collecting customizable things. Just go to the guild plaza and take on low star missions and weapon tutorials, it should help you become more comfortable

 

It's pretty easy when you start in 4U: simply follow the story in the village (Caravan Quest) at least up to 6*. The text box will teach you about most basic things you have to know to build upon your own experience. The 1-3* quests in the Guild Hall are around the same difficulty as the village beginners quests (who act as a tutorial), but preys have more health (in order to incite cooperation between players). Better try a monster in the Hall only after meeting it (defating it) first in the Village in order to understand what(s going on unlesss you want to just smash buttons randmoly and be the audience of a slaughter fest by your companions.

 

I love MH3U on the Wii U, but I couldn't get into the demos on the 3DS because at the time, I only had the o3DS, and I really need that second analog stick/nub/etc to play them as I use the camera A LOT. Wasn't going to buy a CPP just for that game, plus it actually drains the battery a little while reserving some CPU time. Now that I'll have an n3DS XL, I'm gonna try the demo again.

Wish they continued the series on the Wii U, but I'm sure the Switch will continue with them.

 

But for as much as the Switch is mentioned as a home console, it's still portable, which is important to Japan where Monster Hunter thrives. Besides, there's talk about having Monster Hunter on home consoles again (where some suggest PS4), and since Switch embodies both home console and portable console, it just seems logical.

 

Something similar happened to me. Two of my friends love MH. They both have hundreds and hundreds of hours on MH4U and idk how much in Generations.

I figured it must be good so I went ahead and bought MH4U. 5 hours into the game and I knew it wasn't for me. I love Dark Souls and Bloodborne and I thought this might be sort of similar, but nope, I couldn't play it.

 

tHE ADVANTAGE OF TESTING THE WEAPONS IN THE ACTUAL GAME IS THAT A CHARACTER IS GIVING YOU THE BASIC MOVES ; yOU ALSO HAVE A LITTLE NOTEBOOK WITH MORE COMMANDS IN IT;
