This is why I never got into Monster Hunter on PSP... It needs the dual analog stick.
Tried the 3G demo yesterday and the camera is terrible without the CPP.
Guess i'll be getting the CPP today

can I pls ask, where can i get the CPP/Expansion slide pane for 3DS XL and how much is it?

got mine from kyo for 100

inb4 someone said claw ftw

2 more weeks... can't wait...

I still can't decide whether I'm getting it on Day 1 or not, there's just too many games to buy/play this month, so I need to choose carefully. Crazy March lol.

So help me out here will ya ?

- I'm not getting a Wii U anytime soon
- wont be having any real life fren with 3ds to mutiplayer locally with neither
- don't have and won't be buying cpp.. at least not for now
- i play a lot of mmorpg and i love them to bits, but i'd imagine it would be boring as hell if i were to play a mmorpg game in single player mode
- similarly, monster hunter is about getting loots and stuff instead of having epic story right?
- since its similar to mmorpg in some ways, if i can't bring it online to show my loots n hardwork to my friends, why would it be so addicting in the first place?

not saying this is a bad game, i just wanna understand why this game supposedly gives ppl 1000+ of playtime

is never an mmorpg also. why bother. is a mission based game

I know its not an mmorpg, i just want to know whether the game can be enjoyed entirely in single player mode. if its some sort of open game like harvest moon or animal crossing i would understand, but if its just mission after mission won't we get boring after awhile? what exactly that will keep us coming back for more?

then you need to ask the female hunter here. I hit 400+ hours excluding resets. still not complete yet.

MH is either hit or miss with most ppl. Everyone reason playing MH are different. For me, I love the difficult challenge to slay/conquer monster. A bit similar to Demon/Dark soul game.

I just bought a 3DS XL just because of Monster Hunter Ultimate. I use PSP just to play MH, now KO already, so next stop 3DS. Now can't wait MH Ultimate to release.

I'll try to do my best to enjoy this game. I'm kinda ok with it on the PSP.
I tried the demo and died a lot of times, on the hardest monster of course, need to brush up my skills. Even bought the CPP for this game.

Oh, ya forget to mention. Trying to play MH without CPP is very difficult. Using d-pad to change camera view and the same time use analog stick to move. Very hard when battling monster.

LIKE/+1 from me

Exactly the same reason I got the 3DS XL. Yes, for one specific game. I don't know why, but I just love every bit of the game.

it actually wasn't that bad with the PSP when the D pad is above the circle pad actually...

Ya, is ok for most ppl. Unfortunate for me with fat finger it very difficult....

this is a game unlike any other games. you are playing the missions over and over again not only for loot, but to perfect your skills. you may be trying to position yourself correctly to slice rathalos' tail as he is hovering over cha-cha. you may be timing your rolls perfectly to escape joe's nasty breath. or you may be doing a 3rd level gs charge standing behind rathian, and have it land on her sensitive head the moment she starts turning around.

trying to perfect your hunting skills is what keeps you going back to the missions again, and again. of course, hoping to get rare loots will hook you as well.

as for having no one to play - look up gaeryn, he organizes MH adhoc sessions pretty often. so you can find hunting kakis easily

there's virtual dpad (which it size can be adjusted) that can be used to control the camera.... that is much easier rather than forcing to claw in a unique way

I've been trying to get this information, but so far can't find it.

Back in the PSP days of monster hunting, sometimes when playing multiplayer, the "small monsters" will be in different places for different people. So sometimes, you'll see your partner swinging wildly in the air, but when you look at their screen, they're actually fighting a small monster.

Is this still the same for the 3DS version? It's quite an annoying issue to me. Thanks

why you want to look at other people screen when you're hunting on your own screen?

practice to look 2 screen for 3ds?

+1

Looks like I will be getting the WiiU version. Cant wait to hunt again.
