Monster hunter tri worth getting? Classic controller?

Im thinking about getting Monster hunter tri. Is it any good? Why do I need a classic controller?

It's a great, addictive game if you're into action RPGs that involve grinding and upgrading a lot. There's also a long learning curve and you will need to be patient. Monster Hunter is not a pick up and play game.
You only grind armor/weapon materials. You will need X amount of this item to be able to make or upgrade your gear. This is the only way to increase your attack and defence. You will also need to fight certain monsters multiple times, and each monster can take from 2 to 40 minutes to defeat depending on your gear. There is a leveling up system in the online portion of the game, but it's only to show how experienced you are with the game. Your armor and weapon determines how strong you are. Someone with Hunter Rank 208 has the same chance of dying as someone with Hunter Rank 89.

The cIassic controller pro is completely optional. I would recommend it if you prefer using a PS2-styIe controller than the wii remote and nunchuk.

where is your pokemon sig from?

I don't remember exactly. It was either from tumblr or deviantArt. :P

if you have a 3DS, you might want to wait to see when 3G will be out, since it's basically the same game with tons of added features. but quality-wise? hell yeah, one of the best games on the wii.

If MH3G is localized worldwide. Hopefully it will. Capcom has a reputation of not localizing MH games. :x

You should, its a much buy if you like aventure games but with online too! = )

It's a very fun game with excellent combat, definitely worth picking up. The classic controller is a must, the wiimote is just too unresponsive and you'll need precise timing as you fight higher level monsters

There has only been 3 games they haven't released worldwide in the series and one of those came out last year in Japan on the PSP, so who knows if that will be released or not. Their reputation actually supports them releasing it worldwide. Sepewrath

3? I thought it was 4.
Monster Hunter G for the PS2 and its Wii rerelease, Monster Hunter 2, Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, and the PC & 360 version of Monster Hunter Frontier.
That's nearly half of every main MH game, and Capcom still has not decided to localize MHP3 after 10 months of its release. Maybe I'm worrying too much? Maybe I should stay calm and hope for the best... @__@

It works fine, but it's nowhere near as precise with the timing, and the camera is annoying :P

Can you use the GC controller instead of the Classic?Los9090

According to the backside of the box, no. :(

Definitely pick it up. You won't be disappointed. ^^

[QUOTE="WreckEm711"][QUOTE="nini200"] It's precise when I use it. I am very accurate with my attacks using the Wiimote and Nunchuck. Camera is fine.nini200

[QUOTE="nini200"]

[QUOTE="WreckEm711"] Whatever floats your boat :P I use the Wiimote in any game I get the chance but oftentimes when stringing attacks together I'd run into problems where it wouldn't read the new turned angle of the remote and it fired off the wrong attacks constantly, which was really annoying lol.WreckEm711

[QUOTE="WreckEm711"][QUOTE="nini200"] Hey if you're more comfortable with the Cla$$ic controller then fine but give TC a chance to see which style they like better. Also GET ONLINE so I can show you how good I am with the WiiMote setup. Name - Chichi - Captial "C" bcuz it is case sensitive

nini200

As I said before, I'm really not invested enough in the discussion to have any reason to get defensive over it :? TC asked about it, I answered :P

[QUOTE="nini200"][QUOTE="WreckEm711"] No one is stopping him from choosing what he wants. He asked for opinions and they were given :? What did you expect people's answer to be? I'm not calling you a liar, and I really don't care enough about the topic to get online when I've pretty much retired Tri for this Gen :P Correct me if I'm wrong, but it really just sounds like you're trying to defend the Wiimote against traditional controls, and that's not really something i care to get into as I love my Wiimote :PWreckEm711

Nice thread i still need to buy this game.

Yes it's worth Getting and for the price of $20 to $40 dollars with the controllerat some stores, I say it is a good deal. The controller makes the game a hell of alot easier then playing with a nunchuk and wiimote.

I got this game about a month ago and only played it for about three hours ever since. I was not impressed with this game tbh :|
The controls felt clunky, the camera was kind of annoying (I had the Pro controller too), the text boxes was soooo friggen small thus making it very difficult to read everything AND there is A LOT of reading, lastly the learning curve for this game is pretty large just like someone said early and that was no over exaggeration (why the hell does my guy keep getting tired after running two feet!?!?!? IT'S ANNOYING!!!). Since I have to deal with college, TONS of homework, a job, and a girlfriend it has been pretty much impossible for me to find the time to manage with all the problems the game has. If you don't have a busy life try the game out, if not don't bother like how I did.

I've been playing it for around ~50 hours, haven't even touched the online mode. It's definitely worth it. And I'd get a Classic Controller if I were you: it's not that the WiiMote + Nunchuk doesn't work, but the Classic Controller is much more responsive, has better camera angle shifting and is easier to use (you don't have to tilt your hand for certain attacks).

Do you enjoy criticizing everyone who plays the game by implying they don't have busy lives/they do nothing?

You eat food so you don't tire from running (or get armor with bonuses). The text messages you receive are usually three to four boxes, with less than ten words each. The controls are not clunky (though I'll admit you'll take a while to grasp all the possibilities you have, but that's better than just having a single attack). The learning curve isn't large: you have several different things you need to do (eat food to recover stamina, sharpen your weapons, tag monsters, trap, tranquilize, etc.), but they're all explained in-game, and they come at different times, so you're never overwhelmed.

The carrot on a stick gear upgrade system keeps you hooked. Also, there are plenty of different weapons to try your hand at, each with a different play style. I just recently tried my hand at a switch axe and I love it after using a Lance as my main weapon. THe monster fights are amazing as well. You will get more than your money's worth, thats for sure, but prepared for a decent learning curve.
