Where to even start here... I've been a fan since it's first release on the PS2. Incredibly good game and I'm glad it's getting released so much earlier than I thought. February 13 is going to be here in a flash so I wanted to get a group of people to play with since this will be the first time they allow online play in their handheld releases.
Anyways I got the demo, so if anyone wants to try and beat the Gore Magala with me I'd be down to try. I love the Insect Glaive and the hotkeys they added in the touch screen are super useful.
P.S: Does anyone have any spare demo codes? I'm trying to get some friends into the series but it's hard to invest in a game they don't know they might like, and the demo is a really good sampling of the game.

Bows are a pain in the ass.
I used the myxo demonlisher line of greatswords through most of MH3U, using the Jhen HBG for goldbeard ceadeus because fuck that guy. The insect glaive does look pretty awesome, though.

Coming from a MH on psp veteran the 3ds controls in general are a pain in the ass. The worst part of bow is you cant really move/shoot/aim all at the same time. They're actually really amazing but having to stop constantly to aim is a huge pain.
I've seen videos of the Charge Blade from the japanese version and I've wanted to try it out since then. It has a pretty nice playstyle and is arguably better at KOing than hammer. The Insect Glaive [UB]feels[/UB] so weak to me, the only cool part is being able to jump on the back of monsters, the buffs feel so underwhelming. I'll be stick to Hammer (unchanged), Lances (massive buffs), and Charge Blade most likely, though I can use everything except bowguns. Hopefully there are nationers who can play too.
Demo is way too easy and the only time I tried doing the 3rd boss, my entire party got wiped except me and I just didnt bother trying again. I could probably solo it but the touchscreen d-pad is too big for my hands so I'll wait for full version.
I have 2 extra NA demo codes if people want them too or they'll just rot.

Maku and I played the demo and it took 25 minutes to kill a monster.
It's fun but man it's so time consuming. Maybe I've been spoiled by the other hunting games.

Insect Glaive is actually pretty powerful if you know how to use it :P
You probably haven't noticed but the Red Buff actually adds hits to your combos so having it is a must if you wanna deal a lot of damage.

You usually get 50 minutes I believe to kill monsters but they don't usually take longer than that unless you're having trouble. I love the resilience of the mobs :)

Maybe when Monster Hunter Online comes out in English I'll decide to get into the series.
Ran a benchmark and it looks so pretty my PC can handle it too

Iunno mang the benchmark is completely in English and Capcom wants that dough.
MH is pretty popular, I'm sure some MMO publisher will try to localize it if Capcom doesn't want to localize it themselves.
