So i decided that i should finally fucking try monster hunter games for real, because they were always in my range of fun. I mean has like handful of monsters, gear and stuff where 3rd for PSP has waaaaay more stuff from what i read. BUT There is also Freedom Unite which seems to be Magnus Opus of MH game with almost 1100+weapons compared to mare 600 in 3rd or even less than that in Tri same with everything else beside weapons. But comes at price of shittier graphic and worse mechanics as i read it but game is way harder which few people seems say that recent MH games are decline So what i should do? I am just after 2 boss. That is not the problem with PPSSPP and joytokey. Just map left and right keys which are Dpad left and right by default in PPSSPP and move them to right analog on my ps3pad hooked up to pc. Yeah grindy is a thing that kept me from starting it. Once i tried FHU just for like 2 hours and lost motivation as i figured out that there isn't any story just monster hunting duh Well if you ever get to the horrible fucking super sayain monkey and can kill him, give me some tips. Spending hour after hour trying to beat that fucker was what got me to finally put the game down after what was surely over 100 hours at least. Cold already used in first map, those lizards use ranged attacks. Not just monster damage. Monsters are actually better in this game via their AI. In Tri you could take on 5-10 of those lizards without a problem and no monster would hit you. Here everything actually knows how to fight and lizards don't make mistakes as much as in Tri. Then there is monster damage. They simply output more damage to my dude. I am using currently sword and shield weapons and i already have more different weapon choices than in Tri. I just created Iron Katana i had to use shitton of resources to get this. Like i said after clearing first set of missions i already saw more monster types than in Tri. By the way I recommend anyone who is not a twitcher to stay away from this game. I bought Unite for the PSP and regret it. I suck at action games and thus I did not get far in this game. I also almost got a heart attack permanently running and dodging like crazy hoping to manage to find a second to actually aim and attack every now and then. I mean, there are real-time RPGs which are heavy on stats and do not actually require action gamer skills e. By the way I recommend anyone who is not a twitcher to stay away from this game.

I mean, there are real-time RPGs which are heavy on stats and do not actually require action gamer skills e. Overall if someone liked Dark Souls then i think it is the same type of game though there are some major differences here and there. Main difference is weapons moveset. In DS most of weapons have fast attacks because in great number they are just short swords and such. Here even Sword and Shield or Twin Blades are slow and game definitely emphases more on proper combo management than quick jabs as i learned myself. So for example i am now rolling with huge Katana like weapon as seen above. It is slow weapon and i need to know when i can make overhead slash and when to string different moves. For example i usually start with overhead slash which is just stick into your enemy + triangle. Then if enemy changed his place to my left then i will use left swing which is triangle and circle which will also move away my character from enemy. If enemy would be at right side i could use right swing right bumper and fallow with pierce move. Other weapon like hammers are super slow compared to anything in DS. Also it is important to target right places of monster. So for example targeting head is best way to take down monster usually but it usually means i need to be in front of a monster which means i could die fast as hell. As start i didn't like this sluggishness in everything but now i think it is ok. Hmmm am thinking of downloading MH2 for PS2 and trying that i heard it has different control scheme stick instead of button combos i wonder how it would work. Yeah, you can reach a point in these games where your stats are so awesome you can just faceroll the controls and win, but that is generally long past the point at which fighting those enemies is worth anything to you. If you want to make progress in this game, you need skills. Probably the biggest rpg factor is, ironically, not the weapons and armour, but all the consumables. There's a huge difference between going into battle with some cheap potions and going into battles with all your most valuable medicines and traps and shit. Though unlike most games, I find it actually feels MORE satisfying when I beat some really difficult monster due to my massive preparations allowing for heal potion spam. I suppose because spamming healing means actual prep work instead of just buying them for basically nothing at the local shop. Did some comparison to show difference between native res and enchancements: Original PSP resolution: 3x PSP resolution. Fixes completely aliasing but textures are gross overall. And how it looks like when playing instead of screeshots: Here even Sword and Shield or Twin Blades are slow and game definitely emphases more on proper combo management than quick jabs as i learned myself. So for example i am now rolling with huge Katana like weapon as seen above. It is slow weapon and i need to know when i can make overhead slash and when to string different moves. I can promise you that this isn't the case at all once you learn the game better. SnS, DS, LS, and Lance are very aggressive weapons and you can put the pressure on the monsters by hacking and slashing at them without stopping while dancing around their attacks. Even slower weapons like SA, GS and Hammer have quite fast gameplay once you get into it. Monster Hunter games are about as fast paced as any Souls game, it just takes a longer time to get used to it and learning the game, but once you do, you'll see that it's not as slow as you may have thought. If you really get into the series then it may be worth buying a 3DS for MH3U, MH4U and eventually MHX. MH4U really expanded and refined the gameplay and made it 100x better, to the point where SnS is my undisputed favorite weapon. MHX promises to do to the MonHun weapons the same what DaS3 is doing for its gameplay with the stances. Hit me up if you ever get MonHun4U. I'm always ready to coop and not a snobby elitist. I want to be a poet, and I'm working at turning myself into a seer. You won't understand any of this, and I'm almost incapable of explaining it to you. The idea is to reach the unknown by the derangement of all the senses. It involves enormous suffering, but one must be strong and be a born poet. It's really not my fault.

Will probably wait for 3DS emulator first. Citra is really really really developing fast. Just two months ago there wasn't any game bootable and now every week new game gets bootable and some are playable. When they will start to move things to hardware then most of games will be completely playable. Maybe i will buy used new 3ds in future. Because no way i will play without second analog in mh...

It's only grindy if you try to get all weapons and armor sets, or some shit, but that's retarded anyway. There is no grind in this game otherwise, especially since you can't just farm trash mobs somewhere like Diablo. Git gud and most fights will be awesome. And if you are a noob.
