I saddens me that Yahtzee made the same mistake every reviewer makes when it comes to the MH-Series.
I can't blame him though because he only has about a week to play these games.

Yep, since some people have trouble with waving a magic wand around while trying to push the right button. I am one of those people. Whenever I play, I grab a GC controller or a Classic.Aylaine said:
Having not played this monster hunter, but having played most of the others, I can say that Yahtzee is almost certainly 100% correct in this. The games are like Demon's Souls with controls that feel less responsive, enemies that hurt more, insane levels of grinding (much of which involves killing really nasty things that you need the new item to beat at all easily), and long times of trekking across the map to get to the actual bosses.
If you want similar difficulty and skill-based combat, Demon's Souls does everything Monster Hunter does a million times better.

oh cool, this time yahtzee took the biggest part of the game, and completely ignored it for the sole purpose of making the game look like shit.
oh, and tri has shorter loading times than the online game, just to letcha know, yahtzee, hater of 3 second load times

I can say i played both monster hunter tri AND Demon's Soul and i can say MH3 combat was that much satisfying, specially online.
It also had more natural and fluid bosses imo, it just felt like it could really exist in real life.
Demon's Soul was harder though

It's like criticizing a Zelda game for not being fun or challenging based on your experiences of the first hour or so before the first dungeon.
But ZP is about humor anyway. I hope no one actually uses Yahtzee's opinions to decided whether or not to buy this game. As far as accurate-and-valuable analysis of the game goes, this review is worth very little.

@Manas: Unless you are talking about FPS' and RTS, nothing compares to a gamepad sorry, you are just being an elitist gamer, and no-one likes one.
I'm not saying PC is bad, no chance in hell. But it's not perfect and is even further away from being the best console.

Which makes you an elitist PC master race troll. I'll be over here, enjoying all my games, console, handheld and PC.manas said:

Then why are you posting on reviews for console games with the sole intent of saying they are crap? I'm fairly certain you are just trolling, and if not your posts haven't indicated that I'd be missing out by not reading them, so I'm ignoring you at this point.manas said:
Actually, online gives it significant amount of replayability after being beaten, since there are a ton more missions, although online gets to the part where things become truly grindey, especially if you are trying to make the top end gear (Altareon gear) which requires you to farm an absurdly powerful boss for low drop rate items you get one chance of getting per match. Most monsters are much better about letting you consistently get what you need, at least offline.Towowo2 said:
Thank you Yahtzee, almost makes those stupid commercials for this game worth it just to hear you tear it a new one. Awesome video as always.
Actually, I kind of agree; only in FPS's (that don't have lock on, like RDR) and RTS's are mice absolutely required. Most other genres can be played just fine with a gamepad. Well, OK, TPS's need a mouse as well, and MMO's and real time RPG's might need one (Dragon Age, for instance, was just fine on the console, even if it was a bit trickier to get to the moves), but most genres are fine on any system.krgskks said:
Sadly true. I do love Monster Hunter and constantly urge people to actually get to the meat of the game - collecting and killing those small monsters is something of a meta-game - but sadly another person can't get through it.PayJ567 said:
I don't blame them, ultimately. You should not have to wait for 5 hours before actually being able to play the enjoyable part of a game. I honestly don't regret waiting that time to be able to enjoy MH, though.
You know I'd really appreciate it if Yahtzee played the games he's paid to review for more than half an hour.
It's just kind of silly that he plays the game for less than an hour, writes an hurrdurr 'review' with hurrdurr metaphors about said hour and declares the game is the worst thing since zombie Jesus.
I mean come on. And everyone else beating their chests and agreeing with him without having played the game doesn't make it any better.
I actually don't particularly care for Monster Hunter Tri, but it's just something that's been bugging me about Yahtzee lately - he's gotten lazier and it shows.
