The Wii U version looks, plays, sounds, and feels(except below) absolutely fantastic. Considering how much time I know I'm going to put into MH3U, my Wii U was worth it already.
That being said, they BETTER have an option for ZL/R to control the camera. There's just no excuse for ZL to do nothing, and ZR to be a toggle for a touchscreen control. Absolutely retarded. They need to fix that. In MH3 on the Wii, if you had a CCPro, those buttons were still crap and they controlled underwater stuff. I don't understand how it's such a hard concept for two triggers that aren't being used to be used for camera left/right. It makes no sense to me.
It's also very hard for me to adjust to using a second analog for camera control when all my time in Frontier I used an Xbox controller and set L/RT to...you guessed it, Camera Left/Right. It pains me to see those buttons be useless.
As for the 3DS version...
The font is pomegranate. Absolute pomegranate. Even on the XL it's hard to read. 20 on the item box looked like 2C, except the C was backwards.
The sound is...okay. I don't know if it's the 3DS's speakers or not, but the sound is bleh.
On the reverse side, the 3D is fantastic. The graphics are also far better than I had expected.
The touch screen camera, while not Capcom's fault, just amplifies the need for a 2nd Analog without a crappy attachment. There's no reason it shouldn't have been a part of the handheld in the first place.
Overall, it's not awful, but the Wii U version is vastly superior.
I'm definitely going to get both, but that's mostly because I want to support the franchise in the US. MH4 is showing to be a rather interesting game when it gets released, and with Nintendo consoles being region locked I really want it to get localized.
Plesioth was instantly an utter disappointment. They didn't change him at all. They gave him a few new underwater specific attacks, and then the rest of his underwater attacks are duplicates of his land attacks...and he has no new land attacks that I noticed at all. He's just as retarded, oversized, and annoying as he always has been. I know I will never be meleeing him ever. It's just not worth the frustration. Plesioth is one monster they should have never brought back, or really created in the first place. He's pineappleing awful.
Speaking of water, I can't say I missed underwater combat after playing P3rd.
Welcome to all reviews and complaints by people who can't play Monster Hunter. That's generally the complaints I've been hearing since way back in the day when I got Freedom 1. They're such old complaints at this point that I cannot even attempt to take them seriously, I just laugh.
Ever see one of those threads on GameFAQs that suggest ways to improve MH? First on the list is always lock on. Second is usually EXP. Third is usually magic. Second and third could be switched. It's hard to take any negative attitudes about Monster Hunter seriously when they always suggest to destroy the fundamental concepts behind the game. Not to say most of the positive attitudes are easy to take seriously....If there's one thing Monster Hunter attracts, it's pimentos. The Monster Hunter community is half the reason Monster Hunter isn't more popular here. They attack and insult everyone who wants to learn, it's disgusting.
At least Plessy doesn't have the invisible force 30 feet long hip check anymore,however I still think he is the biggest pansy monster and tail whips like there is no tomorrow.I should play the demo and try to range him and see how much easier it is.
