Quick Look: Monster Hunter Tri

Nice, long QL

Awesome quick look guys!

Longer than the Demo. Monster Hunter Tri is back, huh...

43 minutes is hardly a quick look guys.  :P

FUCK.

Wow. Just. Wow.

Well this went longer than I would have ever thought.

YAY! A long QL!

New QL!

Monsters, and the hunting thereof, for the third time.

This'll be a nice watch :) 
 
Also, since somebody's gotta do it, Inb4 haters.

~Looking now

never played a MH game, but it looks like it needs a lock-on feature bad :(

The combat looks really slippery, which is my biggest complaint with almost all Japanese action games.

Goddamnit Jeff, you used that on the Bombcast already. Tri to keep things original. 
 
 
I'll get my coat.

Ah I want to watch this, and am, but I could not care less about Monster Hunter Tri 3.

I respect and enjoy this series too much for me to risk watching it. Ah hell i'll do it.
 
Ok the "Tri" joke 5 seconds in...perfect.

YES!

Man these Japanese games are so dated.

Never played monster hunter games, now i'm kinda interested in buying this game.

I think training day was the first actual movie that I saw some titties in.

Empty your inventory before missions!   You don't have to manually pull up your bug net!  You can TOTALLY skin those raptor guys!   I'm 'sperging out all over this video :(

This game actually looks pretty fun to me, but A) I don't have a Wii and B) underwater creatures are too scary.

I would love a western developed game of this on either PC, 360 or PS3.

God I know...Dare I watch it... ughhh... I guess i'll tri~ "

I'm 2 minutes in, "Deez are choice mushrooms bro" I can already tell this is going to be epic.

This game gives series WoW vibes what with the gathering, crafting and dungeon crawling all for the sole purpose of being able to kill things and get loot just so you can then repeat the process again and again and again... lol

The game can be pretty excruciating with the larger swords since by the time your character swings it the monster has moved out of the way.

Jeff, don't joke about sleeping 13 hours. I somehow did that last night (after only being awake for 10) and it kind of ruined my life.

" I loved me some Phantasy Star Online back in the day and I think Monster Hunter would be right up my alley, but I don't have any of the consoles that I could play it on. I really hope Capcom decides to make one of these for the 360 and  PS3. "

 Originally this game was gunna be for the PS3 i believe, they announced it for the Wii afterwards due to production costs were too high on the PS3...or something, i really have no idea anymore, it was a long time ago. "

I'm not liking the supersaturated lighting.

Damn, between this and the ER, Jeff is 2 for 2 on Tim and Eric references this week. I feel weirdly proud.

Oh nice, first minute in and we experience HARDCORE CLIPPING WITH THE SWORD AND SHIELD! That's pretty funny  :P

Another bit of Monster Hunter content on the site, fraught with misinformation! 
None of it a huge deal, though.  Ryan was making the game a little harder than it is.  It's one of those games you're going to love or hate, I'm on the love-wagon, but I can totally see why some people aren't.   
 
If anyone needs advice or anything, feel free to PM me.

That was the rumor, but apparently the major reason was that the wii has penetrated the japanese market much much more than the PS3, and since MH sells like crazy over there... larger user base = More Swimming pools filled with money.   I gotta say though, I'm really sad its not on the PS3. I am a diehard MH fan so I'll probably still buy it on the wii.. but it looks pretty bad graphically. =/ The PSP version will be godly when it finally comes out though.  -----------------------------  Also: Not a bad QL, I was really suprised. Some stuff that was kinda wrong, and some game stuff that could have been easily remedied via the tutorials or instruction manual, but im glad to see Ryan started playing the game a little bit before recording, that always does wonders. "

Game has cool ideas, and I'm glad some of you enjoy it, but a combat oriented game with worse controls than the average mmo means the demo was more than enough for me.

That sounds good at first, but then I noticed that only people who don't play MH want this feature. Most of the people who play the game seem to think it would mess things up.  A) There are times where there are lots of things on screen. Multiple monsters, your team mates (who you can knock down by accident) etc. Locking on to focus on one thing would be problematic.  B) The monsters have several body parts that can be cut off, broken, etc. You can cripple the monster or get extra rewards. Lock-on would mean cycling through different areas of a huge monster's body or manually picking which part ot lock-on to.  C) Aiming is part of the game's mechanics and how fast or slow a weapon swings is something that the game is designed around. It's about movement patterns and timing. Adding a lock-on would be like letting you lock-on to other players' heads for effortless headshots in an FPS. "
