Will Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate provide the right results that will help the wii u and 3ds move to the next level! or will the have fail to do so.
The protagonist is a hunter newcomer to Moga Village, where you are asked to investigate a strange series of earthquakes, caused apparently by the Lagiacrus. With an excellent blend of action and role playing, we participate in numerous missions to try to put an end to this monstrous problem. Keep on reading our Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Review.
The game features a tutorial, for infants in the art of hunting from the first minute. Thus, the first missions are basically collecting herbs and minerals, or to defeat minor bugs. However, the undisputed stars are massive creatures that populate the various ecosystems (island, swamp, desert, tundra, volcano or mountain). Each environment is divided into ten areas, so you need to look at the monsters and mark them with paint balls so everything always located on the map.
The fighting may last more than half an hour, and they can meet together three bosses. His intelligence plays against us, they are hard to crack and, when they are weak, fleeing to eat or sleep to regain strength. Each creature has a routine attack and very characteristic behavior, we should consider.
The rookies are Brachydios, a being who lives in the volcano and it projects an explosive substance, and Guran-Miraosu, which is the final boss of the multiplayer. To make matters worse, many of these monsters have rare subspecies (Qurupeco crimson, gold Rathian, Ludroth purple), which have a different look and new moves. In total, there are 21 subspecies , to seal a total of 50 large monsters .
Hunting is the game
Control, characterized by slow movements of the hunter, is the usual. It’s a real treat yourself to cakes bundling, having to flee to sharpen the weapon or heal, be aware of whether it’s hot or cold beverage to take appropriate, to increase feed resistance meter … The management has greatly improved, thanks to the called“camera lens” , which allows automatically reposition perspective, to have the big monsters always in focus. It is like the mythical “Z-Target” which promoted The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. With this option, the difficulty inherent in the saga is partially mitigated. Still, we must tread eye and not attack open grave, as the character takes a split second to react after attacking and can not run if you have the weapon drawn. If we like crazy, monsters can ram us, poison, burn, freeze, electrocute …
Both 3DS and Wii U, the touch screen allows you to manage the inventory, but also rotate the camera freely, through a spider shooting touch left to right thumb, which is a relief, compared to Orthopaedic system deliveries PSP, which had both the joystick and the cross on the left side of the console. The 3DS version is compatible with Pro slider, but if you have not, is entirely dispensable, because the cross is very responsive touch. This is only somewhat cumbersome in the fighting in the water, because, to swim, we can move both horizontally and vertically. In that sense, the Wii U version has the advantage of having the right joystick “serial”. In any case, for 3DS, not worth buying purposely said slider Pro
Guns are a key factor, as they vary substantially gameplay. There are twelve available weapons: sword, shield, great sword, long sword, ax, sword, double swords, hammer , pipes, spear, spear-gun, bow, crossbow light and heavy crossbow. Eight were already present in Tri, but four are new (double swords, the bagpipes, the spear-gun and bow). Each weapon has its pros and cons. Swords are very useful to amputate parts of the enemies, like the tail, the hammer and the bagpipes are perfect for letting the monsters stunned; spears are an intermediate option that combines the ability to attack and defend the possibility of a shield and ranged weapons, that support multiple types of ammunition, are very useful in multiplayer.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is a vast game, thanks to the nearly 150 missions and tasks that no single player. Gone are unlocked gradually as we progress, and to take part in them, we must pay a small fee. Generally, the maximum duration is 50 minutes. At first, almost all can be finished in much less, but when they meet up to three heads, perhaps we lack time. In each mission, we have three lives: if we die, we return to appear up to twice at base camp, but the reward is reduced.
It should be noted that there are three main types of missions. First, are those of collection, based on ecosystems explore in search of some particular object. Typically are herbs or minerals, but also the more original, like stealing eggs from a nest and a weight load up our base camp, unable to attack the monsters we meet along the way. Second, are the events of game , where the goal is to matarile a monster. Third, are the most challenging of all, those of capture , where we catch the monsters live, weakening them first and then putting a trap. They are the most challenging because of the characteristics of the series is that we can not know exactly how much vitality left to the monsters. We need to look at whether salivate excessively, if limp or have badly damaged body. So the challenge of these missions is to weaken the monsters until they are dying. Only then can we capture them.
Get to defeat Ceadeus, which was the final boss in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, takes about 35 hours to complete without dying of course, but you can actually spend about 100 hours playing the game as you have to collect items, fight bosses, complete puzzles, levels and much more. To that, add the 160 multiplayer missions and quests that we can download free.
Moreover, weapons and armor raises re playability to the length of the game. Often repeat play missions for specific parts of monsters with which to build more powerful tools. For example, to improve our sword, we may need two queues Lagiacrus, and for that, we have to defeat this and it be nice to have edged weapons, it is also necessary to explore for minerals and other elements, and allocate resources to the farm and the fishery is in the Village of Moga, to provide us with new products. Both weapons and armor give hundreds of customization options.
Multiplayer Length
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is a game that can be enjoyed alone, but if we join three friends, fun knows no bounds. The strategic possibilities and options are infinitely greater victory if played in the company. For example, a person can attack wild animals up close, another use long-range weapons, a third devoted to divert attention, and fourth, focus on trapping.
Since the development of the game is the same on both consoles, you can share and enjoy the game items crossed LAN using a Wii U and 3DS. Now, there is an essential element that differentiates the multiplayer of both platform. In the case of 3DS, the game only supports local network, with one card each. In contrast, there Wii U online connectivity, representing the comparative win by a landslide. And thanks to the update that will in April, the title is “multiregion” , so we can play with people from America, after Capcom has backed away with the issue of regional protection had initially imposed on the servers.
3DS is assumed that we may also play online. However, you need a program called Packet Relay Tool , which will be run from a Wii U, so that it will act as the router. So if you have the laptop but not the home console, do not do any good, which is nonsense, because, given the choice, the logical thing is to go for the delivery of Wii U. It is difficult to assess the case since 3DS is not online “independent” because it was the first version to hit the market and then not be considered for inclusion, but it is a fact that, comparatively, loses. In Wii U, we can share the hunt with anyone and when it is, in 3DS, we depend on being in the same room with other people who have the game.
Due to the lower power of the console, the 3DS version has longer charging that the Wii U, which adds the detail that the 3D effect is somewhat annoying. In fact, even having it off, sometimes blurs the image slightly. The kinematics, meanwhile, does not even include the three-dimensionality.
Best hunting in Botswana
After playing Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, the Wii U version is better because it looks more visually and, above all, for its online connectivity. In relative terms, it is the 3DS, and that makes best use of technical capacity. If you have both platforms, we recommend both platforms to play the game on.
