How'd it feel? Was it awkward? Could you do everything you needed to do to murder the hell out of the monster without getting a cramp?
How's the Wii U Gamepad for MH3U? Or ZombiU?
Never played ZombiU, but for MH3U...It felt great, really. It was pretty comfortable, I can see myself using the gamepad to play for a long period of time. I never really looked at the touchscreen, though, but the controller fits pretty comfortably in your hands. It definitely will take some adjusting because of the completely different feel of it, but it's not something that's uncomfortable, just different. The buttons are well placed too, actually slightly better than the CCPu, because the analog for camera is in just the right spot that people who remember clawing on the PSP will be at home in a way. You can definitely control the camera while doing other stuff on the same side of the controller, which works great.
I just hope they make ZL/R control the camera too in the full game, it will be a life saver.

The biggest hurdle in Monster Hunter is your first real monster, which in the Demo's case is the Lagombi. It's a completely different experience compared to any other game, really. Once you learn to pay attention to the monster's movements, because they are important, you learn a lot. Really the largest issue most people have is learning when to attack, and that it's often best to avoid attacks instead of attacking yourself.
Monster Hunter is a hell of a lot easier to learn now than it was before Tri. In the old engine, weapons were far less...open ended I guess you could say. They are far more open to letting you dodge mid combo, and the monsters are far more predictable. Overall I would say the game is easier than it used to be, but that doesn't mean it's worse. It's definitely a lot easier to learn though. By far. And with them re-adding the old weapons they removed for no damn reason, there's so many options that you will definitely find a weapon type you like.
