Edit 1
Just beat a Hypnocatrice, took 9 mins and 30 seconds, using DUAL element duals! Freaking awesome! The new area “Great Forest” looks amazing, the new music is not bad either!
…going to go play more…

So I just played the whole MHFU demo! YAY! Hypnocatrice is AWESOME as is the Great Forest area! DUAL ELEMENT DUALS IN ACTION! The new music is also amazing… I love this demo! However, I have 50 billion (give or take, lol) hours on MH, MHF, and MHF2. I was reading the many posts on the boards about the demo, vets of the series are excited about it…newcomers not so much.
It is about time there was a MH demo, unfortunately they may messed up in a few areas and that might push a few people away.
1. You can’t check your status. To me this is bad, because you cannot look at all the little details on each piece of armor or weapon. It has the effect of saying ‘All armor is the same, it just looks different.’ Which is completely untrue. It should be noted, that in the demo all armor has the same skills….they seem to be to be Auto-Tracker and Health +50.
2. You cannot break pieces off monsters. No broken beaks, no tail cutting, nada. Ripping the monsters to shreds and making them look like hell is half the fun and should be included in the demo! I got the feeling I was causing no damage to anything until it finally limped. I could see that turning away a few people as it can feel like an endless battle and that you are getting no where.
3. G-Rank. Ouch. Plum D. Hermitaur, G-Rank, with his speed and new attacks is quite the challenge! MH is known for being a difficult game, shoving that difficulty down a newbie’s throat in a demo is probably not the best idea. Though it could turn out to be a good thing for the gamers who like a challenge! On the other hand, Auto-Tracker included on every quest!? Where is the “hunting” in that!?
4. No village! NOOOOOO! This is probably the biggest mistake. You play the demo, you kill a monster, you don’t even get to carve the bosses, then it just says quest cleared. They should have included carving and just a peak at the armory so new players could see that you use the items you collect to build better armors and better weapons. They could have let you start in Steel armor or something the kill a few Hypno’s and make a few pieces of armor so you get the gist. Killing monsters is only half the fun of MH. Making armors and weapons, that is where it gets addicting!
I also wish it would save the kill times so you could go back and try to beat your times. That way you could see how you actually become a better hunter as you play, you learn monster’s moves and you can kill them so much faster, without dying, using the exact same equipment.
I hope I am not coming off as hating the demo, as I said before, I loved it! I am ready for MHFU to come out RIGHT NOW! They just could have made the demo a bit more accessible to all gamers.
As a vet or newbie to MH what did you think of the demo?
Oh yeah, you can now go to Gamestop and pick up the demo on UMD!
