Reminds me of Demon's Souls for some reason, still not sure whether to get it or not, I tend not to finish wii games.

Nobody has "finished" online (i.e. get to HR999) but you can certainly finish offline.

Is the controller bundle cheaper than €60 anywhere?

Got mine for €55 in HMV this morning.

VenomIreland · 23-04-2010 2:12pm

My mam picked up the Ultimate Edition while I was in school today for €70, opening it now

Can't wait to get to hammering the snot out of monsters, the demo was getting a bit boring.

Man, this game rocks! I love playing with people online!

Yeah I'm really enjoying it, how do I go fishing? Do I need to buy a fishing rod somewhere?

You need to buy bait and use it in the right spots, you can buy bait from the "girl with the goods".

If you are doing the quest where you need to attack the big fish, use a fishing harpoon to attack them.

VenomIreland · 24-04-2010 4:59pm

Isn't that level 2? I killed the Great Jaggi, took forever. Also did the crystal bones quest in the desert place.

The Monster Guts quest is the one where you run into the giant beastie underwater XD.

I'm almost up to fighting him, anyway, it won't be fun.

Gobul was rather difficult, but I didn't die on him.

I did the monster guts quest, got them from fighting delex. Don't know what monster you're talking about.

Started last night, lots of potential even if I'm wrestling with the control scheme a bit (why don't they use the extra two triggers on the classic controller pro?). Still only in the tutorial stages, how long til I get to the online stuff?

The on-line stuff is separate from single player, pick city instead of village when you start the game.

NunianVonFuch · 27-04-2010 2:39pm

I've had such a turnaround on this game - played it yesterday in singleplayer with a few mates and we took the piss out of it for an hour or so before getting bored and quitting.

But then we tried the 2-player arena mode with the third monster, a big t-rex alike that charges you and destroys your health bar on contact. Soon we were laying pittraps, timing our flash grenades, charging up megablows and wasting barrells as we couldn't figure them out! Game is a lot of fun!

So what's this like online with the Wiispeak? Constant interruptions or does it work the same as xbox headset?

tonydude · 27-04-2010 4:25pm

I got the game in the post today and i started the story mode until the guild girl appeard then went online and to be honest i cant see myself playing this a whole lot. Im glad i bought it online otherwise i would have forked out loads for it. Ill give it another try tonight and if get doesnt improve i might throw it onto adverts.

Ah, I was talking about the offline guts quest.

Anyway, I just repelled Lagiacrus yesterday

BTW, Tony, don't give up on the game so early, it can take a while to get into it, but it's awesome once you do.

The Wiispeak apparently needs you both to be added as in-game friends to work, even then, the qualitu (at least from my experience) is terrible.

It's definitely not worth buying for just one game, you're better off getting a usb keyboard instead.

MY code is in my sig, but you can only add me when I'm online, if you want to arrange some time for Thursday ( I am busy tonight and tomorrow night ) that would be OK.

Hooked.. 30 hours in (lol) Just killed Barroth in Offline, up to rank 9 online. Had a few tries on Gobul and Rathian.. tough mo'fos!

Anyone that is skeptical about it, particularly given the very slow introduction (nothing exciting until about 6 hours in..) stick with it! So far its been very rewarding and I haven't come across any idiots online.. yet.

I'm only Hunter Rank 8 online

I'm stuck on Lagiacrus offline, I tried hammering him but got my ass kicked, so I need to find a few strategies for him.

Me and 3 guys were fighting the royal ludroth online, we even got its tail off, but the same idiot died three times so then everyone failed the quest, very annoying
