What else can you generally break off of a monster's body ? I've seen tails and body horns/spikes get cut off in gameplay videos and you just mentioned that you can smash in their beaks/bills.
By the way, I haven't cut off anything from either of the featured monsters in the demo. They usually just end up limping away by the time their almost dead. I usually just try to attack them from the side or the back so it lessens the chance that I'll get hit by their face or knocked down.

Question...
In the final game when you kill a monster, do you have more than 10 seconds to carve the monster? In the demo as soon as the monster falls dead, I only get about 10 seconds to carve before the quest ends. Usually I'm surround my little jaggi or felynes that are attacking me and I can't get a carve in within the 10 seconds...

I had to memorize Quru's attacks so that I knew when I had time to get a few hits in on his face. I definitely couldn't just stand in front of him and wail away at him. The good thing is that if I'd properly connect the first two hits or so to his head, he'd fall and then I could score a few more knocks in before I'd run...Hiltz said:

The sword and shield is a great combo. ^.^
I tried out the demo today. As a virgin to the MH franchise, I really like watching the animals naturalistic behavior. This kind of feels like a mix of Endless Ocean and Shadow of the Collosus with some good ol' RPG grinding. The graphics do look a little flatter than I had hoped...but the animals/monsters definitely impress. I'm not regretting my preorder, even though I've failed to beat a single quest. :lol

I pre-ordered the game a few days ago just because I thought the game sounded really interesting and looked amazing. The $5 off/500 points bonus really motivated me as well. I had no idea what to expect when I popped in the demo. Honestly, lurking in Monster Hunter 3 threads is the most experience I had with the series. I decided to play the longsword character first. My first mission was more awkward than I would've imagined. I beat the mission in acceptable time without fainting but the long sword just felt too sluggish.
I moved on to the standard sword and shield for my next mission and fortunately nullified most of my worries about myself not enjoying the final game. It was only until I played with the light gun though did I really get into the demo and start craving the final product. I love the choices and strategy which come with the wide assortment of ammunition you're given. The buckshot ammo the light gunner has makes taking down the hordes of small monsters so much more enjoyable especially compared to heavy close range weapons.
From what I gathered here, I will be crafting my own guns in the full game. How much control do I have when it comes to making guns that can carry more rounds per load? I think I noticed there seems to be a difference between the light/medium/heavy gunners as to how many rounds of a certain ammo one can fire before having to reload. Could anybody please explain? The reason I ask is because I like ammo types where I don't have to reload after every shot I take.

JESUS CHRIST THATS IN THE DEMO?!
THE FUCK?!
Yes there is one, Moga forest but only in offline mode.Alex said:
About less than 10% I think.botticus said:
It depends on the individual monsters. For example there are 2 parts for Qurupeco, 5 parts for Lagiacrus. Usually you will have to break those parts in order to get rare items for making your armors/weapons.Hiltz said:
You can actually mix and match the weapon parts in the retail game. There will be a frame, a barrel and a stock. A weight of 29 and below will be a light bow, 30 - 70 will be a middle bow and 70 up will be a heavy bow.Chopper Dave said:
Eg. If you wanna carry more normal bullets lvl 2, you can actually find:
Frame with a stats of Normal bullets lvl 2 +3
Barrel with a stats of Normal bullets lvl 2 + 3
Stock with a stats of Normal bullets lvl 2 + 3
From there, you will have 9 normal bullets which you can fire before a reload. You can also equip skills like 'normal bullet up' thru armor combination which increase the amount by 3 more. However thats a limit to how many each bullets type a gun can hold.

Thanks Tenbatsu. Your explanation is exactly what I wanted to hear

This happened to me more times than I care to recall but I got such a good laugh when it first happened. It's just embarrassing getting curb stomped by your prey :lol

From what I understand, the demo is only at 360p. The full game is 480p.

Yep. If you watch the clock in the top left corner, you can see something is not right time-wise (between the 1st and 2nd vids). Though it could be a rom hack within the emulator to goober up the clock and give him more time. I'd love to have that option...Soneet said:
edit: I rescind my previous statement. The time matches up pretty closely if you simply add the time of the two vids together.

I went to Gamestop to pick up the demo; I ended up pre-ordering Sin and Punishment: Star Successor, Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Wii Speak bundle of Monster Hunter 3 tri-, and a Pikachu-adorned stylus. Tenbatsu, you are paying for my meals from now on.
I gotta say, the poster/guide that comes with the demo is pretty darn neat.

Funny you should ask. I ordered some component cables friday because i realized i didnt own any for my Wii. Ive noticed a much sharper game than when i was playing it before. It seems like a great looking game for the Wii, however its the style/detail that is the best part of the graphics so far for me. I imagine the 480p looks even better in the full game.Zzoram said:
kafka rock opera said:
I thought people were saying the full game is still 360p?
My HDTV only has 1 component input, so it's either the 360 or the Wii at a given moment, not both. Since my 360 gpu is artifacting, and it's out of warranty, I guess the Wii finally steals the primary inputs now.

hmm well i could be wrong but i was under the impression that the demo is just 360p but the full game is 480p. Anyhow im digging my cables i got from monoprice for under 10 bucks. Monoprice cant be beat.Zzoram said:
Hooray, I beat Jaggi on my second try with Sword and Shield, though I'm not really sure how. I didn't even see him limping, though other than the first time he ran to a different area, I had him cornered by attacking while he was resting. Still died twice while learning to make use of my shield (dazed him once), but evade is still neglected.
I really hope the scavenging part in the full game is less annoying... I had an opportunity to hit A over the corpse twice before the quest ended, and both times I was smacked around by a little Jaggi preventing me from getting anything.

You think predators are just going to stand there and watch you? Obviously you need to get rid of any "bystanders" before doing any collecting... :lol

I played unite again on my psp last night which only reignited my hatred of that fucking blur in tri. I'd give a nut to turn that off in the menu knowing I will be playing this game for hundreds if hours.

So specifically, is the resolution 640x360 in 16:9 instead of the normal stretched 640x480 in 16:9?
Maybe that res is not as clear, but should automatically have less jaggies and be less "muddy" or something. Stretched pixels are yucky.
