Why tell people its coming in say July or August when you can whore the demo for some easy sales.
Wut no. Hammer 3 hit combo damage surpasses Dual sword + power juice combo not to mention it gives a knockout stun. Maybe they couldn't find a way to implement waggle with dual swords.Error said:I think they figured Dual Sword+Power Juice=broken.

I doubt most wii owners has a classic controller. No matter how look at it,the classic controller is not part of the main Wii system.markatisu said:But the game is meant to be played with the classic controller (which is why it comes with the MHG set) so it makes no sense to do away with it for that reason
Yes hammers are powerful, but they don't work that well against every single monster.Defuser said:Wut no. Hammer 3 hit combo damage surpasses Dual sword + power juice combo not to mention it gives a knockout stun. Maybe they couldn't find a way to implement waggle with dual swords.
Thanks alot man!!sprsk said:Hey guys, gonna get the demo today and upload some videos to 1up tonight (jp time).
I'm not an expert, but I'm sure as hell better than that other dude who posted videos.
Goes to show how you much play Monster hunter. I have not seen any monster being resistant to hammer so far whereas I seen DS being weak against some monster. Your dual sword is semi useless to Gold Rathian Silver Rathalos,Fatalis whereas Hammer pwns all monsters. You're overestimating Dual Swords, now I know why are there hammer elitist players,it just damn good.Error said:Yes hammers are powerful, but they don't work that well against every single monster.
Whereas Dual Sword word against every monster easily. Just get the fast sharpening skill+Expert skill at 20, a fitting dual sword set for a monster, some power juice and you'd rid shit up like no one's business.
I doubt motion controls have anything to do with them axing bows or dual swords.
Tenbatsu said:Its confirmed, there will be 7 categories of weapons in MH3 Tri.
1. Small Sword
2. Lance
3. Hammer
4. Bowgun
5. Big Sword
6. Long Blade

Do note that they can still be break into sub categories. Eg. Lance - Gun Lance etc.

Oh crap,I forgotten about that. Goes to show how much of a passive support weapon it is. :lolbigswords said:Ohh no Horn thingies? Not that great to kill with but it's a good support weapon hahaha~~

I'm not insulting you in anyway but you're giving dual swords too much credit here. Dual swords + Power/Mega juice is not broken at all,it's a part of the tactic.Error said::rolleyes at defuser.
Yeah, I certainly don't know anything about these games.
Hammers have always and will always be better weapons than Dualies (except for pre-nerf dragon dualies)Error said::rolleyes at defuser.
Yeah, I certainly don't know anything about these games.
Hammers take skill to use. You can't expect anyone to fully exploit them. With dual sword anyone can do that demon combo shit.
I use hammers, I know fully well how powerful they are but they are not that effective against some monsters. For instance, against Monoblos and Diablos a 3-hit hammer combo won't work because their head is too hard, your blows will bounce off. Against tigrex, his head is too freaking small, even with flash bombs he moves around too much. that's just on top of my head.
-In what may be a tough new move for some series fans to swallow, the number of weapon categories in MH3 have gone down from 12 to only seven -- Great Swords, Lances, Hammers, Bowguns, Sword/Shield, Katanas, and the new Slash Axes. "After a great deal of debate, we concluded that we needed to whittle down the weapon categories and concentrate on adding more depth to each individual weapon," Tsujimoto explained.

New to Monster Hunter, if you attack a pack of the comparatively weak Jagi (a smaller version of Dosjagi) on a stage that includes Dosjagi, the large dinosaur will rush to your section of the map to aid his allies. And when the flying Kurubekko gets backed into a corner, it can call on monsters that aren?t even in the area to come help him.

....Surprisingly, our enjoyment came despite some issues we have with the game's control scheme. There are some serious deficiencies with the game's controls. You can't lock yourself into an enemy, nor can you strafe. It's a bit tough to keep your sights set on a single foe. We'll have to play a bit more to see if we can get used to what feels like a somewhat dated control layout.

RuneFactoryFanboy said:How come you don't use the run button in your videos Sprsk?
Thanks for the videos. That Rathalos one was pretty awesome, the game looks a ton more "immersive" than the PSP ones. Rathalos actually looks scary!
RuneFactoryFanboy said:In your rathalos video what the heck was that part where he was stomping you and you had the purple bar above your head? That looks like it would be murder against a strong monster.
Were you trying to capture him? ;psprsk said:http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/24468 -- I beat Dosjagi
Bowguns currently got the best customization, they are divided into 3 parts: Barrel, Frame and stock. You can bascially customize a light bowgun into a heavy bowgun.Error said:If they give more customization options for weapons, then I'm alright with them taking out weapons.
Maybe the game will have weapon skills now? Something that works similar to armor skills. who knows.
