Copypaste:d stuff off of Wikipedia ahead. [B]Offline Specific (Village):[/B] In single player the player has the option to Free Hunt, where they can venture into the Deserted Island map and slay monsters or forage for herbs, mushrooms, honey, seeds or ore. Also while in Town the player will have access to a farm which can be upgraded by providing specific materials. This farm allows Felyne farmhands to produce additional materials that will be helpful to the hunter, in addition to greatly reducing the need to gather items by hand. A traveling item-trading ship, the Argosy, will arrive in the village occasionally to provide several harder to find items, that he will trade to the player for "rare items," which are items found during freehunts made with the designed purpose to be traded to this merchant. Also, the player can send boats (which can be upgraded to a maximum level of 3) to find fish, ore/treasure from the ocean, or to occasionally hunt large monsters for various parts. [IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/1ymplx.jpg[/IMG] Picture of said village. [B]Online Specific (City):[/B] Online Gameplay has more quests available than offline. Up to 4 players can meet online in a city and embark on quests together. The quests are scaled up in difficulty to accommodate the increase of hunters. You have to complete each quest to get to higher difficulties. However, rewards are usually better in online play. Players will be able to give materials to a combination specialist for him to fill a jar, after a set amount of quests the player can return to find their items have become a new item. An interior decorating Felyne will also take items and can perform several different methods such as "brainstorming" to make items to decorate your house. Capcom will occasionally post differing "Event Quests" which are quests only available for an allotted amount of time, usually having special conditions, increased difficulty, or rare item rewards which are used to make special weapons or armour pieces. A change from previous Monster Hunter titles is that each tier of quests requires players to be of that tier or higher in order to join the quests. Previously there were only 2-3 lock out points, usually for the Plus and/or G rank quests. Unlike other games on the Wii, Tri uses a more traditional lobby system instead of friend codes or matchmaking for online play. The player chooses a server and room to join to play with other hunters, and can also add friends by simply sending friend requests to people they meet. As a player's Hunter Rank rises new features and items are available in the city for purchase, trade and creation. Once Hunter Rank 31 is achieved, players gain "elite hunter" status can then embark on elite quests (formally known as "plus" or "high rank" quests). These quests are more difficult and provide new "plus"-grade pieces of monsters or other gathered materials to make/upgrade higher grade weapons and armor, identified with a "+" after it's name. Nothing changes from regular weapon upgrade to elite weapon upgrading, except for the higher part quality (and sometimes quantity). "Plus"/high grade armor sets have higher defense as well as different and/or better skills, but can sometimes require the occasional low-grade monster parts to make. Since skills between high rank and low rank armors are different, sometimes people opt to upgrade their older pieces of armor to "high grade," allowing them to gain the added bonuses of much higher defense, but retaining the skill set of their previous armor, which can be advantageous for certain styles of play.

Can't take on the biggest baddest dragon on the street without any items now can you? I know that the next-to-last big monster in Monster Hunter Tri is as big as a battleship, thus the armor you make out of materials you carve/mine off of him are named after battleships like the Yamato. You run around, build weapons, armor, mix potions, make traps, bombs, use books and whatnot. This game has no plot which I find good for once. It doesn't go the "an ancient evil has awakened" route. It just goes "here monster, you kill, get rewards" But of course, all the missions have some story behind them. Any Facepunchers who play this and if anybody requests, I could try and add more to the OP.

I was thinking about getting this.

Do it, if you're EU we could hook up and play online sometime.

This game is balls to the walls awesome. Shame I can't go online due to various issues with my Wii.

I got stuck on barroth. damn barroth and your mud.

[QUOTE=PunchedInFac;28970622]I got stuck on barroth. damn barroth and your mud.[/QUOTE] You on EU? We could try getting him online but they got like 4x HP there :v: I took him offline though with a lance, piss-easy. Blocks every attack. I also got a friend I rarely play online with and he's like HR90 and he got me the longsword before i even got to the desert in offline mode.

how do i kill the uragaan? that asshole always smash the fuck out of me

[QUOTE=Ryuken;28971013]how do i kill the uragaan? that asshole always smash the fuck out of me[/QUOTE] Ludroth SNS for ultra piss mode Spent about 250hrs on this, did everything and the people I was online with almost everyday stopped and I kinda stopped too.

Hammer is where its at.

Looked kind of fun. But I still do not regret selling my Wii.

Oh guys how am I late with this game? Do explain because the only time there was a thread for this was when it was released. Now it's forgotten.

I really hate that mission where you have to carry rocks that burn you to death all the way across a map, multiple times while the Uragraan or whatever tails you and agnaktors pop up out of the ground, and if you run you eventually trip and drop the damn stones.

Get it.

Definitely one of my favorite RPGs around, love the creature designs and lore, music, gameplay and one of the best graphics for a Wii game plus large scale of boss monsters which is the probably comparable to Shadow of Colossus to some, same reason I loved Lost Planet so much as well really recommend this to anyone who likes RPGs/action hack & slash/hunting sims [editline]lol[/editline] also sword&shield representin'

double toast

One of the most addicting games I've ever had the (mis?)fortune of playing. In my first week with it, I played 40 hours. That was... unhealthy. Too bad the online is region restricted.

[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/1298259290272.jpg[/img] Suddenly Jho.

I'm waiting for MHF3, I played MH3 but I didn't get into it as much for some reason. I sure do hope MHF3 has a wifi option, or I'm going to have to find my WifiMax again and get onto Xlink Kai.

[QUOTE=PunchedInFac;28970622]I got stuck on barroth. damn barroth and your mud.[/QUOTE] get spiral lance(like the only lance you can get at this point) and face off gogogo lance master race i didn't realize how good lance was until barroth(I used sns the whole time)

They're porting MH3Tri to the 3DS... Why don't they just make a good console and PC version for America that uses good camera controls and online play?! Whhhhyyyyyy [editline]4th April 2011[/editline] I just wanna be able to go online and hunt with my friends. Why is Capcom so dumb :saddowns: It's not fair! [editline]4th April 2011[/editline] It's like they want to put Monster Hunter on everything but what it makes sense to be. Like they did MH1 and MH2 and then were like "This just made WAY too much fucking sense..." and then put it out on the Wii and PSP

Amazing game, still play it online from time to time. And I do agree with the lance being the master race, its so damn useful.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;28980606]they put it on the psp because it's actually good on the psp. i don't know why they put mh3 on the wii.[/QUOTE] It is good on the PSP, but could be so much better on anything other than portables and the Wii

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;28980656]It is good on the PSP, but could be so much better on anything other than portables and the Wii[/QUOTE] i think it's perfect for portables, just meet up with your friends and play wherever you are, no need to go back to your own homes, go online, and play like that.

Imagine, current-gen graphics but on the 360/PS3/PC. And a 10x bigger world, more freedom and better character customization. why is my wallet empty

I bought this game the day it came out in Australia. Played about 12 hours and havent touched it again. It seems like a great game, I just dont have the time to learn everything about it, which seems to be alot, looking at the Monter Hunter threads on /v/. This is coming from someone who didnt even know what Monster Hunter was until I picked it up in the store.
