The Official Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Topic

I'd like to add ye if possible. So far, I met no one here on the game.

Hey, I got a question here. Does this game encourage you to use more than one weapon type, rather than just one? I primarily use a sword and shield.

Yes it does,some weapons are made to deal quick elemental damage/status effect like the sword and shield or dualies,others are used to smack the hell out of things like the great sword,hammer or hunting horn,and you might have a easier time dealing ranged damage to a monster with bows,or blow guns. You have lots of options,use the weapon that you like the most.
