Aren't Monster Hunter demos generally the benchmark against which all terrible demos are measured? Or did they actually put together something decent this time?This demo at least has a tutorial for all weapon types, and a "beginner" option with weaker monsters and guide arrows. MH just isn't a game that demos well, but this one seems about as good as they could make it without including a huge chunk of the game.
I have extra demo codes if anyone didn't get one.
I beat the demo's three monsters on expert with no deaths in about an hour, so it's not too hard. Gore Magala was a bit of a let down. It felt like "Toothless" the dragon have a kid with Alatraeon and did not feel as powerful as it looked. May be the settings of the demo.They're tougher in multiplayer, have you tried that?
I'll spot you a code. I have another if anyone else here wants it too.I already gave him one.

Reserved mine. Though apparently my Gamestop won't actually have the 3DS in the store at launch & instead it will have it shipped to my house. Not paying extra for 1 or 2 day shipping so I'll be hunting anywhere from late Feb to early March...Same Boat.

I think this is a good demo. I'm hoping the N00b Arrows are actually something you can get on an armor set instead of the full map. Be more helpful for me.
Stratos I think that the reason you thinking this feels easy is because your more use to G-Rank Monsters, which to be honest most veterans are. I think they forgo those for these. I'm having a hard time with the single player Gore Magala myself but, I'm also just a competent hunter.
...
I just started all my weapons on the lowest forms and them upgraded them bit by bit to get them to the G-Rank levels. It was fun to push them through that way because I was forced to go back and hunt the lower monsters. It can also add a fun extra challenge if you restrict yourself to the weapon you want to upgrade.For a while I decided for lols just to use status weapons. I have to say getting the Plesioth Sleep weapons is annoying but, they are interesting to use. Like going without anything when solo but, is interesting for people who are part of your team.
So I've given all of my demo codes away and could use one more for another friend. Can anyone spare one?PM sent.
I know I'm a bit late to the party (and been mia from the board for quite a while lol, I still lurk teehee ) does anyone still have any of those demo codes for unlimited demo play? I want to give this series another shot after I half assed my way around 3. I want to experience all the buzz everyone is talking about with this series.PM sent.
Do you have U3? I'm still playing it if you want to practice some weapons or wrap up some quests. I'm going to be online for part of today if you care to join.
Think I'll be ordering my charger off of amazon on Friday while you guys start hunting since the new 3DS XL doesn't come with one apparently. Should I order a bigger SD micro card or is the one included big enough for save data & eshop buying?It depends on whether or not you plan to buy any retail games as downloads. If you do, you will need a larger card to hold more than one or two games. If not, and you'll just have save data and eShop-only titles, you will probably be fine. I say, wait until you need it before you buy it, because if you don't need it then you've wasted money.
I may get some older games I missed out on so ordered the new card.Got ya beat. Mine shipped Yesterday from Kentucky and its on my porch as of 10:48. I would go get it but I live an hour away so its going to have to be outside in the cold for about 6 hours...
According to my UPS tracking number, my 3DS will be here on Monday. Take that 1 or 2-day shipping!
Downloaded this on the eShop last night on a whim. What is a good weapon to start with? Also, when do most people get online to play?The easiest weapon to start with is the Sword and Shield. Its the most versatile of the weapons which makes it a great starter weapon. Though it hurts in power. When your ready to move from there Dual Swords if you want to keep with swords but I recommend Hammers next personally or Hunting Horn if you want something a little more complex.
I primarily use the android phone apps:
MH4U Companion (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.guides.shihedo.mh4ucompanion&hl=en)
MH4U Dex (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.FFCIA.mh4u)
MH4U Hunter's Guide (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uksamuelhwhomh4ufullguidefree)
I'm home sick today with an awful head cold so I'll probably go between hunting and sleeping all day. Let me know if anyone wants to hunt.That doesn't sound good at all, I hope you get well soon.
The Feelers? They are a pain to get. We should hunt sometime together though I never see you online.I had full velociprey armor and leader shotels.
Finally defeated Gore Magala Offline wearing the complete Gore Magala Armor set with the Gore Magala Light Bow gun.
Are they monsters from the old game? You can get some of those parts from the Wyporium Trader. Also, make sure you go on those random expeditions. That seems to unlock new monsters over time.
Guess who got Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate today! THIS guy!
My FC is in my signature. See? It's down below!
I look forward to playing with my NWR peeps!
Just a quick question, I see people mention hr1 and so on, what does that mean? Is it hunter rank? and are you referring to the current star level of your quests?
I did go to the gathering hall and then noticed the hr1 quests. One thing I noticed though when doing those quests is that I get 4 of most supplies at the start. Am I to assume these quests are designed to be tackled in groups? So far I've been soloing most of the HR1 quests but am I eventually going to get to a point where that wont be possible?Yes, the gathering hall is the multiplayer and those quests are designed for 4 players. The monsters in these quests have a lot more HP than they do in single player, and they are typically more aggressive, so although you can play them in solo, they will be much harder. There will most likely be a point where you won't be able to beat these quests on your own, unless you happen to be one of those super crazy awesome players who can solo them all... without armour.
Well I'm 4596-9710-4135 FC if you want too.I added you anyway.
So, I couldn't seem to get a hang of MH3U but I enjoyed the demo for MH4U quite a bit.
My question is: should I buy this game? Is the online community really willing to help out a noob? and what is everyone's favorite weapon?
So far, I've tried the Insect Glaive and Dual Blades. I seem to have trouble mounting and jump attacks. I'm also not sure on how to lure monsters and jump off ledges to attack.
I entered the party late but any advice would be much appreciated!
...That one is a pain.
Also I have a solo quest for fighting 2 frenzied khezus. God help me.
Defeated Shagaru Magala. I have to say. Compared to the Gore Magala fight. This was easier. He's slower. Less physical. Must do Dragon Damage because he didn't hit that hard with the armor I had. Relatively easy to light bowgun, compared to say dual Khezu or Tigrex.He was a bit of a pain to melee but then again I was running a set of Veroceldrome armor so low defense was really starting to bite me.
I basically saw that quest and decided I was just going to come back with g-rank armor and roll from there....That one is a pain.
Also I have a solo quest for fighting 2 frenzied khezus. God help me.
So in all, you're getting...14 new quests;
11 new weapons;
4 complete armor sets (8 if you count Blademaster AND Gunner) plus the 3 Fan Club pieces;
2 Palico armor sets;
1 Palico weapon;
1 Bonus Palico: Calico Red;
2 Guild Card backgrounds;
1 Guild Card pose;
9 Guild Card titles;
1000 Caravan Points;
A lot of stuff, I know... and here are a couple of highlight's I'd like to note:
- This pack includes both winners of our Weapon Design Contest: Emperor's Speech and Clockwork
- The Universal Studios Japan gear finally makes its way to a Western release!
- Legend of Zelda special collaboration equipment: Link's armor, Sword & Shield, and Bow! (I just need to say this all the time, because it's so awesome!)
Anyways, go download this pack and enjoy all this free content; we'll be back with more in April. Happy Hunting!
Alright guys, I caved and bought it. My friend code is on my signature. Please add me if you'd like to play and tell me your FC.
The what? Nah, still haven't gotten my HR 1 urgent out the way. Finished my Tetsucabra set though so will probably get around to that this weekend.
I'd love to help with the DLC. A group I was with earlier got pummeled by the triforce quest. I need to get my butt in gear with n HR armor set since my LR bows seem to be holding up just fine.Don't act like you weren't the one who fainted! :P
As someone who only likes to play multiplayer in these games, I think it's lame how I have to play single player to unlock stuff now. So stupid.To be honest, I don't think they should even let you do g-rank quests unless you've beaten whatever this games equivalent to the Ivory Lagicarus is in single player. (And hopefully it's a much better fight then that)
I had heard Velociprey armor was a good starter set. I might make an HR version.A bit low on defense but its overall excellent.
That must be a common charm as I got one as well. I must appear to be a crazy bow guy online because I will mount a monster 3-5 times a match because of that mounting talisman.I got another +10 one for cold resistanc.
Just got a charm with +10 Power Coat AND +5 health. This will be a great talisman for when I want to use a bow that does not support power coating, which boosts bow damage by 50%. I could now gem an armor set with my Dharen Mohran bow and get the use of all coatings at once. Very nice!Should be. Hasn't changed since the first day of the 3DS. I did post it in this thread too.
Dont worry about your pace, Ceric. I'm only at HR4 and just enjoying the ride to G. We do need to play together at some point. I double checked your FC and it is the same as the one in your profile. Is that still an accurate FC or did you change it?
I've started dabbling in gunning myself. Which I assure you is a 100% noble attempt to branch out that has absolutely nothing to do with me liking the design of the female bnahabra gunner armor.
