<p>I have never been into world of warcraft type games but I downloaded the monster hunter demo and it is actuatlly much more fun than the wii version I remember playing.

I’m a Monster Hunter scrub but the controls weren’t bad like I though they were going to be on the 3DS. Sword and shield along with duel swords are the most fun for me so far. I don’t even get close to beating the water monster.<br>
Tried Monster Hunter for the second time (I played a MH demo before, but it was so long ago that I forget when it was, so this might as well count as a first time). Is there no lock-on? And not being able to adjust the camera to the front sucks because it’s easy to get hit by an offscreen attack.<div><br></div><div>I went with the greatsword, but it’s a lot more unwieldy than I thought it would be.

I think the closest we get to lock on is tapping the monster symbol then hitting L to center the camera on the monster and double tapping L to center it behind your character.<br>

Your post reminded me that there’s a manual for the demo. Looks like there’s targeting after all. Gonna try this again.
Your post reminded me of manuals. I feel dumb spending all that time tryin to figure out how to load the special arrows among other things
I got the Monster Hunter 3 demo but I am still too engrossed with Fire Emblem to give it a fair shake, besides, if I get MH3U it will be for the Wii U because I don’t have Circle Pad Pro.<br>

There aren’t really classes and jobs so much in MH. The weapons that you have will determine whether you’re going to be at the for front of taking Monsters down or in the back of course…The only weapon I can think of that can act like a white mage/healer class is the bow gun because you can actually shoot healing shots with it. You can change your characters appearance…the demo just doesn’t have that in it. You pick weapons according to both your own style and the monster you’re going up against. MH feels slow and it’s deliberate with most weapons. Not all the weapons are slow though…Sword and shield is a good start and the Lance has a shield on it and probably has the best defense out of all the weapons. I’ve watched Rioting Soul get right up into several monster’s grills’ in the heat of battle with a lance that I wouldn’t fucking dare do with a long sword for fear of eating a 65% counter hit to my life bar. The game is about patience and learning each monster’s habits and quirks, this even boils down to taking the time to sharpen your blade or finding a moment to heal yourself with a potion. If you just run in hacking and slashing and hoping for the best then you’re going to end up on a gurney taking the trip of shame back to the base. Aimed at children? I never got that at all about Monster Hunter, what makes you say this?<br><br><br>Also the controls have been pretty much the same on portables since it’s debut on PSP. The only difference is you can now have better access to camera controls through the touch screen or the the 2nd analog nub. I’m mostly going to be playing MH3U on Wii U but plan to pick up the 3DS version to do some hunting on the go.<br><br><br>I almost forgot to touch on another one of your points. Not every mission that you take on in Monster Hunter will involve hunting a monster…but pretty much everything you do will lead to taking down one. You may be tasked to go out and collect some materials that you could need for potions, nets, shock traps, etc. <br><br><br>This vid actually gives a pretty nice look into how most of the weapons move save for the new ones they put in 3U<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SJDqiujJeE<br><br><br><br><br>I was mostly a Switch Axe and longsword guy when I played Tri but I’m thinking about giving the Bow a shot. <br>
