how is the camera control, lock-on targeting feature with just the normal 3DS control scheme holding up so far?

will have to see if the clutter on top screen is really going to affect me as much. sounds like the 1st layout is more optimized for control (without the circle pad pro at least)

thanks for the info

mobile suit where need to sleep ah ... once in a while do maintenance in hangar base only unless deployed to warzone.

somemore this is Alpha version ...

stumbled upon this video which also covers the new control mechanics ... seems like the touch screen area is quite customizable.

if thru EMS, then u shld factor in at least 1 day extra bcos these few weeks PosLaju always delay due to "missed delivery" reason.

i think it basically means high volume of items to distribute per day so sometimes can't make it in the rounds within same day ...

if you have time and don't mind, would be great to hear in what way is it "watered down" from MH Tri ... in your opinion of course.

dunno about others but i believe the default touchscreen controls (with a little user customization if necessary) should be given a chance or at least a playtest. Capcom has done well in supporting Nintendo platform in recent times. can see they at least put in effort to compliment what the game is running on with decent (and sometimes great) result.

i honestly couldn't get into the PSP iterations too bcos of the controls as well ... could never get used to it. might also just be the old brain which doesn't want to adapt ... *deja vu comment*

even the Wii iteration which got a lot of pre-game and post-game launch criticism for having the wiimote+nunchuk scheme ... i think i did fine with it. swimming or otherwise ... perhaps just not as intuitive for some particular weapon types ...

yea, as i was implying ... sometimes it's just us ... not used or don't have that knack for certain control type/design.

just urging the other ppl to give it a chance ... instead of just foregoing it altogether

yes, agreed and understood. precisely what i was implying about using the touch screen controls and being good at it.

*high 5*

supposed to be this week but i'm unsure if there's anyone in the house during work hours on weekdays. so i would guess best bet is Saturday.

wat does the PosLaju tracking status show ?

*submits a request to gundamalpha to help certify if poster is considered hardcore*

Portable MOGA Village ! *nice term*

btw, did you download the free 3DS messaging app ? it's available already on jp eshop ... hopefully US gets it by tomoro like EU as well.

taken from the MH Wikia site,


Blast / 爆破
-------------

The Blast Element, a new element for Weapons in Monster Hunter 3 G. When hitting a monster with a Blast element weapon, the attack impact will light up with three different colors, starting from green to yellow to red. When it reaches red and a few more hits are made, the next hit will cause an explosion, dealing blast damage on the target monster.

after the grave mistake of choosing another voice in my MHtri new wii save file ... i'm glad i have my old "chun-li yatta" voice back in 3G

i am not sure but it sure sounded different when all 3 of us were "cheering" in the Loc Lac lobby area

if you are looking for it in Flooded Forest (especially during low rank) ... i find that Area 10 (top of map) seems to have better chance to get some bugs which are suppose to be rarer that point of the game. usually you'd linger more around area 2 and 7 ... bcos too lazy to go further "just to hunt some bugs", right ?

of course, like ZaroTaro recommends ... you'd probably more easily get it during high rank missions.

good luck.

on the other hand, i'm really short of luck in terms of the "Heavenly Scale" drop ...

getting Rubies, Juwels a lot ... but no such scale in sight so far.
