Shall the past repeat itself?...

First topic message reminder :

One day, long ago, I came upon a game known as monster hunter. It drew me in, assimilated me into its web of fans. Soon, I craved more.

I hoped and wished, then finally got a psp. I could now sate my appetite for more of the world of minegarde. The new monster hunter, known as freedom 2, proved itself as an impressive sequel to that greatest of games. It ingrained deeper when our freedom became united!

Now lies a new installment, much removed from the nostalgic denizens of mh and mhfu. Will this surpass its predecessors? or fall from grace as the series spirals downward...

Tl;Dr

I got a psp for the sole purpose of playing the mhf games and don't regret a single thing. Is tri g (and perhaps the promise of mh4?) worth a 3ds? Will it impress me as much as mhf2/u, despite a huge loss of the old monsters?

That is the smallest Plessioth I have ever seen. I just really hope that we get Tri G. Tri sales may not have been anywhere close to Japan's sales, but they were amazing to compared to those in the past. releasing a consisten flow of games is a good way to boost the games popularity... if they keep witholding things from us, Monster Hunter will never continue to grow.

I completely agree.
CAPCOM is treating MH like they treat Megaman nowadays. We all want more games but they just either a.) Dont localize it or b.) Cut it out and cancel the games.

I think MH games deserve WAAAAAY more attention than they get.

Too amny people are now... ehem... *Weapons Experts... that they don't have the open mind any longer.

They all sitown, turn on their XBox and play MW3 for days until the next CoD comes out.

Foolish Shoppers.

If you dislike the lock-on so much, don't use it?

No he cant do that that is too logical and simple he must bitch excessively and make it so that you cant play the game without the slide pad meaning if you want the game you MUST spend the extra money to get the slide pad BECAUSE THAT'S THE SIMPLEST SOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have decided that I will be buying a Japanese 3DS and I am buying a copy of this game through Play Asia when I get my money back from Uncle Sam just in case they don't translate it for Western audiences. And if they do release an English version I will be buying that one too.

I wouldn't recommend getting a 3DS just for 3G and 4. 3G is probably not going to be localised. 4 may be worth it, but we don't know whether or not they'll release that here either.

However, forget those for a moment and the 3DS is still an excellent handheld system. The circle pad is a big improvement on the d-pad on the old DS and the 3DS still has a d-pad which can also be used for various other purposes. The 3DS has a decidedly epic stylus as well. I like it, anyway. The graphics are pretty good, considering its a handheld. And the 3D is brilliant. I can guarantee, first time you see it, you will be amazed. And that's just on simple screens it has for 3D tests, etc. In actual games, you can get all sorts of things coming out of the screen at you, etc. It isn't like looking at a screen; it's like looking through a window. An open window.

Huh? technical flaws?

Are you mis-using a word just to say that you don't like the way the handheld is designed?

(Way to keep up with the thread Ata... T_T) I was more referring to the low battery life above all, the only real reason I haven't got one yet. (Plus the fact that you just know somewhere down the line there's going to be a newer model like the DS Lite did to the original DS)
