Is this one any better? I really want to give the game a try again and it sounds a lot more promising. I'd be willing to get the circle pad pro if it makes it a better experience.
The camera is insanely hard to use on the 3DS without a Circle Pad Pro. If you have one of those you can set ZL and ZR to control left/right on the Camera, same thing on the Wii U which is why it doesn't have the same issue. I went out yesterday and brought my 3DS with my save...and I found it very very hard to play without one...and the 3DS XL doesn't have one in the US yet. I feel that it's going to be a long time before I can play MH3U on my 3DS. They tried very hard to make it possible to play without being able to claw like you can on the PSP, but it just doesn't work. The analog is not reliably controllable with your index finger, and when you use the touch screen you lose your ability to perform actions. It just doesn't work. The L-Camera-Lock function is useful, but it's severely limited and you don't really have full camera control with it either. The 3DS control setup just isn't suited for MH on its own at all and the CPP is extremely necessary.
Overall the mechanics and engine are far better starting with Tri. The camera was always pretty clunky in the original engine. The weapons are also more fluid and easier to get a handle on.

Hope they're back up by the time I can play.... >___>;
I kinda figured after my friend told me he had gotten the same error early on, but later resolved itself. They probably went past their bandwidth usage.
