Could you try using hammer offline and then online with the n3ds?
Dunno if anyone else have this feel or not with the old 3ds/ll models but on my LL , offline mode hammer is smooth to use and in online it feels like you're in quicksand/sluggish.
Its the reason why I haven't use hammer when I main it in the past mh
Same as before
[Spoiler about monster/weapon]
Can anyone help me identify a weapon from the following video:

At about the 1-minute mark they show the equipment, but I'm not sure if it says the weapon name.

It looks like a new insect glaive, as I can't recall having seen that one before. Anyone knows from which monster it's made?

Where does the forum stand on completely unverifiable, my-friend-who-works-at-blah rumours?

If you are not sure if its something valid to be posted or not PM a mod.
Very cool. Thanks.
Kind of LTTP, but I finally beat the last village emergency quest from MH4 (the one with
! I don't remember the last time clearing something in a game felt so rewarding.
I finally feel like I'm not-that-terrible at MH, time to go back to those new village/g rank quests.

XL there really isnt a reason to play on the tiny screen of the standard models anymore with the XLs around
Yeah, I love the big screens of my current XL, but I'm swaying towards getting the New 3DS because it's more portable and its screens are a bit bigger than before
Having seen 3 Ultimate on both a standard and XL screen, I honestly prefer the XL screen. The larger screen estate really just makes the game shine at certain moments.

man i was hoping they would make a new volcano stage but apparently for the time being does not seem to have one and its still the same shitty doubled up stage from 4... (ノ-_-)ノ~┻━┻
never liked that map.
the new desert stage i dig though.

I played MH4 on a 3DS LL and I play MH4G on a regular N3DS now. As mentioned earlier, the LL screen really makes the game shine at some moments. But I'm really enjoying it on my regular N3DS to the fullest too to be honest.
Yeah I own 3U on my XL and have played it on a friends OG. It was a nightmare on OG.
I'm really glad to hear it's working well on the New OG's screens, it seems like that little bit of increase has made a big difference
Yeah, I always loved the volcano areas and that shit is such a letdown. I hate when devs justify their cheap decisions through lore like in this case. Well, in MH5 hopefully...
It's going to be tough... I played 3G on a regular 3ds and switched to LL when 4 came along. Going back to a "regular" n3ds isn't something I'm necessarily looking forward to, but on the other hand, I already own a regular one and an LL. so the n3ds will be the most different one of the bunch.
something else crossed my mind: I wish there was some kind of multiplayer function between mh4 and 4g :/

I think I just had a visual orgasm. I was NOT expecting it to feel that different, wow.
In MH4, go weapon practice against Great Jaggi and sometimes the framerate goes to 60fps and is super smooth. It's like that the entire hunt
Holy shit. New 3DS MH4G totally different. Silky smooth 60FPS onlineyou can see the difference immediately
Anyone confirm this?
Yeah, the game feels MUCH smoother.
Not sure if it's 60 fps, but it's a huge improvement on the new 3ds.
ok. fuck it! I'm going to buy one this instant!
(if they got any white ones left, brb!)

its not a constant 60 depending on whats going on but it most def can reach there at times.
the previous game could too but not as frequent on the standard 3ds

Nin-Nin-Game finally shipped my copy...don't know why it took that much time.
In any case, in a few days Amazon France should have the game and they should forward it to me then.

Please don't make your first Monster Hunter experience be on a handheld. Ugh.

Highly recommend
- 3Ultimate on WiiU
- Freedom Unite and Portable 3rd on PPSSPP or a hacked PSP/Vita
Pretty sure MH4U on the New 3DS will be comparably amazing though.

Yeah, this game is something else with a proper gamepad and a TV. Don't get me wrong though, my 3DS is more than ready.

Best way to play it. With you at all times.

I don't mind the CPP because it helps with the ergonomy, its rear handles are good, worst part of the 3DS is the flat back. I can't comment on the N3DS, yurop here.
Having said that, I just hope to see a home console port eventually but I'll be there anyway, it's fucking MH, can't pass on that. ^^
This area runs at 15fps, lol.
On the WiiU, not on the 3DS.
Portable MH gaming confirmed superior.
I have a Wii U but I was primarily expecting to play this on the 3DS.
Can you guys speak more to this? My understanding was that the series mainly rose to prominence on the PSP and then 3DS. Is it just a question of the screen size not being able to contain all of the visual information?

Do you even realize which thread you are posting in? Don't shit up the thread with this handheld vs console crap!

I'm not an expert veteran, just a dude who spent almost 500 hours on MH3U (both 3DS and Wii U) but never played the older games.
I just find the home console experience... better. This game is not about quick sessions, I find home consoles' gamepads to be more comfortable than handhelds for long games, HD is not bad to look at, playing online with voice chat or a comfy keyboard is nice, etc etc... I guess japanese hunters love their handhelds because they play together IRL, I sadly can't do that.
This series is golden dude, nobody should miss on it just because it's on 3DS, but I'd say you should try out MH3U on the Wii U, if you find a good deal.

My biggest beef with the 3DS version was the controls (while functionally slightly better than PSP) since they are a step down from Tri on Wii and Unite/P3rd on Vita
Its hard to go back to slider/touchpad after you play comfortably with a standard control set.
Its gets worse when you factor in the Underwater segments on 3 Ultimate. Stack on the lack of online play, voice chat, cross region, off tv play, and HD visuals... Its easy to prefer the WiiU version
Most of this is addressed in 4U with the New 3DS.
Still my favorite setup thus far has been playing Portable 3rd on PPSSPP with a Dualshock 4. Its godlike.
Here's hoping they still dabble their toes into the console space from time to time. Even if its WiiU only
Once you've played 4, there is no going back.

Thats my attitude at the moment even though I haven't played it yet
I can just tell 4th gen is where I wanna stay
Thanks for the answers guys.
I'm well in the middle of other games right now (mainly Smash) but I now know to strongly consider the Wii U version of 3 Ultimate if I decide to jump into the series prior to the launch of 4 Ultimate.
The entire front of his torso is covered in slime now. It looks like the big thing that's different about him is that as a result of that, he can detonate parts of his body, even while he's grounded.
