sorry i was was so quiet, still not a fan of typing with the dpad
yeah man, i'm down.
Any word on a release date for MH3 in the US yet?
Xbox: UnbreakableVows | PSN/Wii U: UnbreakableVow | 3DS: 1521-3241-9354
At least 2010, AFAIK.
You guys are making me jealous.

I am so down
I finally figured out how to beat G-Rank gravios! The dual swords Holy Knight Sabers with sharpness +1 armor skill let you own it with bout 5-10 minutes left solo. (Less if you capture it when it starts limping.) Just get under it's belly and demon combo away. When it does it's gas attacks, demon combo the tail. (Takes more damage than the wings.) If you're lucky you can even get a few hits on it as it charges past you. You barely even have to worry about it's beam attacks because you're close to it the whole time. Not sure if this strategy works against black gravios, but I'll try it when I get a chance.
They did, however, have a couple of screens looping a Monster Hunter Freedom Unite promotional trailer, as well as 4 PSPs set up running an English-translated Unite. It didn't draw as many crowds as the other games on display, and it was a bummer that they just set up a couple of generic characters on the systems that were pretty much using the stock weapons and kut ku armor at best. But still!
I asked one of the guys there about a date, and he said July. Take that with a grain of salt though.
On a personal note, I somehow squeaked by and took on Four Horns on the plane ride. And managed to get a whole lot of materials to finish some weapons that I'll have to go try out now!
Amazon has the release of Unite listed as April 30, 2009. Take that with a bigger grain of salt, I guess.
And yeah, if anyone's up for ad-hoc partying this weekend, post it up and I'll probably be there.
I expect it will be the same for Monster Hunter 3, what would be nice though is that if we get both games in the US that we can use that "ticket" system as they call it, to play both games online, but that won't really make them as much money so I would expect double the charge if they release both, but from what I understand only 3 has been announced for state side and not G.
Unless you mean an actual confirmed release date, Monster hunter G is coming to the US as Unite.
From Kotaku (also on a number of other sites):
Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G has shifted 2.5 million copies since going on sale March 2008. The game is being localized for the U.S. as Monster Hunter Portable Unite and will get beefed up via PSN.
They've also hinted at bringing MH3 to EU and NA markets.
...we plan to release our leading titles overseas to acquire game users, as the overseas market for Wii is extensive. One of our leading titles is "Monster Hunter 3 (tri-)." If we can gain recognition of this product in the European and North American markets, our market strategy will see a noticeable change.

Actually my understanding is Hahnsoo is correct.
There, it's settled.
How bout how I need one more rath ruby and silver rath won't give it up for me. Everyday we kill him sometimes my partner gets 2 of them, think he has 8 extra right now. I haven't seen one for like two weeks. I just need one more you bastard.
Atleast I am getting fairly wealthy as I am just selling everything. Sitting around 300k right now iirc.
I am willing to pay for MH3. For G? Yeah not so much.
I'll definitely pay for a few months worth, and then when I suffer burnout I can just quit or stick to local co-op. Obviously it would be even better if it were free, but them's the breaks.
If I recall, the percentages might be better in a capture, though I seldom do it myself.
Other than breaking the head, hoping for a tail carve (I've been using a hammer, so I just ignore this), the only other thing I usually try for upping my odds is wearing a high fate set. I just need to make a fate set with earplugs, and I'd be all set....
My recent nemeses (nemesises? nemesis's?) have been ash lao and HR6 gaoren. I can repel ash, but I'm just not putting out enough damage to kill him. Gaoren, I think I just have to look at new strategies, 'cause I'm just not making a dent.
My initial gut reaction to a monthly fee for 3 was: ugh, screw that. But I guess it'd be okay depending on how the game is, and what exactly a monthly is paying for.
Same. I'm not going to pay for a monthly fee.
That's the thing. I'm pretty sure the only thing we're paying for are the servers. It's not like an MMO where free content patches will be released every now and then. I know servers aren't free, but if it's only used for matchmaking, it's no different than a standard FPS game server, and those never ask for a monthly fee.
