I have seen too many reviews saying how good this game is. Its time people hear the other side.
When it comes to video game dificulty, there are 3 types. One is very easy, no chalenge at all what so ever. One thats moderatly dificult, somewhat of a chalenge. The other one is an infuriating dificulty, the closest thing to imposible.
Monster hunter tri, would be in the imposible catagory. You customize your charecter to change all traits you can think of. Voice, hair style, hair color, gender and a little more.
Gameplay 1/10
It starts out all easy, nice little tutorials, Oh look! A little monster! Yay! That was an easy kill! You go furthur in the game Oh look! a big monster! It spams an attack that takes 25% to 100% of your life 5 times! and if you survive by blocking by using your sword, Guess what! your weapon gets dull and your attacks do hardly anything! I have never played a game just so cheap! This game is a soul destroying tedious chore to play. You get armor for colecting items that you get from killing unbelievily hard monsters. "It gets better as it goes along" is just a washed up excuse cause all the fans agree but they dont want to admit it,"yeah its pretty bad."
Graphics 9/10
Beuitliful. Absolutly wonderful graphics. so vivid, its past realistic. But this can distract you from the actual game. The only thing that stopped it from getting a perfect 10 is that awful loading screen.
If it wasnt for the graphics, i would say that it cost more to buy the discs then it did to develop the game.
Camera 2/10
Camera is horible. Always having to fumble the camera just to get the auto-center to work. Also, because theres no lock-on, you have to manualy line up your guy with the monster by moving the camera. otherwise, you will miss blindly, leaving you open to a devistating attack.
Online mode 6/10
This is the only way to do anything in this game without snapping. Here you pick up other players and go quest. Here, you actualy have a CHANCE.
Items 4/10
Potions take forever to drink. Also, theres no way to cancel drinking, even if the monster is charging right ay you head-on. so this put a big impact in the scoring. Whetstones also take forever to use, just to sharpen your sword after it gets forced dull by the spamming monsters. Your stamina can also deplete, which cuts off your ability to run, so instead, you eat this food that also takes forever to eat. Also, you have to go through the hell of sheathing your weapon before you can use any items.
Overall 5/10
If you do not have access to the internet, subtract 3 or 4 points fom the score and stay away.
I honestly SNAPPED at this game. I had to go buy a new wii remote cause i broke it on the table out of anger. As i said before, its a soul destroying tedious chore to play.
I wouldnt recomend this unless i hated the person and wanted them to suffer.
