For the sake of the Pokemon topic, I declare this topic, open.

So I'm probably going to be getting MH3U over the weekend. In the mean time I've watched a couple of the videos and my initial interest in eventual weapons are the double swords and lance, but I could easily see myself using a different type of weapon too. Except maybe the "slowsword", as I'm nicknaming it (you know which one I mean). Any comments on weapons from the experienced players for this soon-to-be hunter?

Also, is it just me, or does the Nargacuga have a lot in common with my Torvofelis...? The main differences I see are size and wings, and otherwise... dang.
It's kind-of creepy. Almost Captain America creepy. :blink:

Today, I'm going to be takin' these four fine folks into the biggest, meanest dungeon in the Forgotten Realms, and I don't know if they're gonna survive.
...But I'm cool with that.

I'd have as much fun as you can with MH3U, because I believe MH4 was announced to release for the west in 2015, while MH4U is coming out in Japan.
I don't play much but from watching Crimson, 11 and K play I know the basics.
When I do play, I personally use the hammer because I'm a fan of raw power, if you couldn't tell. I like the Switchaxe as well, because it gives you the option of either an ax or a greatsword, and it's nice to have options. My favorite weapon, though, would be the hammer. One of the reasons being you turn into a top.
Also, Nargacuga is badass.

Yeah, lances are pretty awesome, though I've never been able to get the hangle (Hang/handle) of double swords. I'm a hammer man myself, I call down the thunder, pull out my Hammer pants, and then put the hammer down.... through the skull of whatever I'm stalking (believe it boys, three consecutive references in one sentence. New record.) I think you'll find the lance has more utility than the DS, but the DS is probably more fun... less monotonous and way more erratic. The Greatsword takes a metric crapload of timing to utilize adequately, but is literally the only weapon in the game that can efficiently carve and break body parts, and it staggers the hell out of what ever you hit with it.

As for the Nargacuga.... I hate those things.... so damn jumpy.

@AR: I'm warming up to the Switch Axe myself! I started using them to farm Deviljho (Needed the reach to sever the tail) And they were just so flexible! I've added them to my list of favored weapons alongside the Hammer and Lance!

On another note, I see we are developing a hunting troop here! I Like it! Now all we need is a Bowgunner and then we'll be able to obliterate entire ecosystems!

@AR: Yeah, I looked into that if 4 was coming out over here later this year I might have been inclined to wait. But until 2015? Pfft. I'm not waiting that long to go killing stuff. < B) >

@Weapons: Certainly useful information. I just I'll just sort of see what fits me best. Which, on a related note, I just downloaded the demo so I could start to get the hang of things. Here goes!

That's usually best. You'll have to find the weapon that best fits your pacing. Good luck, comrade!

And guess who's a Bowgunner? Yup, I use the Bowgun as my main weapon. In fact, I actually saw a video of 3 hunters who knocked a Barrioth over than kept shoot it over and over.

I've got, or rather will have, MH3U for 3DS.

I've tried the Lagombi Hunt in the demo a few times and so far I've tried the Sword/Shield, Dual Blades, Lance, and Hammer. Out of those the Hammer is the only one I've been successful with just moments ago, but my favorite so far is the Dual Blades. The Sword/Shield was okay but meh. The Lance though... I want to like it, but it's been the hardest to use so far. I think I'm going to try Bowguns next. Switch thing up from close-combat.

I'd download the MH3U demo to try it out.

Unfortunately the Nintendo eShop is a piece of **** and no matter what I do, I can't find it.

I'm proficient with the Longsword, Hammer, sword and shield, and bow. I prefer my hammer though. Getting those KOs and wailing away at that monster's face is just to satisfying. If you guys want to, I 'll start grinding with my guy so I can be up at your guy's level haha On MH3U I'm only about to hunt the barroth. However, in MHFU I've slain the Ukanlos multiple times and utilized it's mighty power to craft the most powerful hammer in that game. Gah. I'm going to start up my DS right now.

@DG: The demo isn't listed separately from the full game in the shop. Just find Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, select the download button, and it should come up to download the demo. ;)

@DM: Catch up? Some of us don't even have the actual game yet! :P


@My Weapons Testing: Tried both Bowguns and the Great Sword now. I like both Bowguns, but I think the Light is my preference. Also, I have to apologize to the Great Sword. Having used it now, it's actually kind of nice. Not as fast as I might typically like, but still a lot faster than I thought it would be. Think I'll be trying the Longsword and Switch-Axe next.

I can't find either, though. Do I need to have funds on my account to see it? That's the only logical explanation I can think of.

Edit: I found out the problem. My region doesn't allow me to buy anything there, or even download the demos of purchasable games.

So yeah. I don't even get to play the demo of a game I'm not sold on. Hooray.

Well.. catch up to Walrus :P

And the way I use great swords is kind of with a hit and run technique. Run up, use the unsheathing downward slash, sheath, and sprint til it's safe. I only allow multiple swings or a charge when it's COMPLETELY safe.

On the topic of hit and run, that technique works FABULOUSLY with the perk that gives 100% critical chance on the unsheathing hit. The critical also effects charge attack damage, which is why it also works with hammers, as you can unsheath right into the "Mega-slam" charge, and continue to move (once again proving that the Hammer is the king of weapons).
