amazon Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate reviews
As Biareview has introduced before, the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate – Monster Hunter has made a lot of great impressions in the hearts of players.
But if only thanks to the unique gameplay, excellent graphics, and “horror” difficulty, it is not enough to make a real “hit”. So, where is Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate attractive?
The answer lies in: multiplayer! The “solo” hunts of course still have certain magic power and challenge, but what’s more fun than being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with 3 other “comrades” to confront aggressive monsters and ” danger”?
The following article will delve into the introduction of the multiplayer array, which is the factor that makes the success of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate in particular, and the Monster Hunter series in general.
Of course, the name “Monster Hunter” clearly speaks to the nature of the game, which is the hunt for monsters (or be hunted down, this depends on the “process” of the player! ).
However, with very deep gameplay made of a variety of weapons, types of monsters, massive items …, to become a true “Hunter”, players will have to spend a lot of time. to “cultivate”.
The most interesting thing is that even though a highly qualified “Hunter” in solo combat when participating in the multiplayer category with other hunters, there will be a lot of problems that need to be dealt with.
The game supports up to 4 players who can participate in a quest. The highlight of the game is the hunts with different pamphlets. You can meet a very easy hunt, not even take … 3 minutes and cost no health. But there are times when the outcome is opposite when it only comes … 3 minutes is the mission that has reported a failure to the Hunters in turn … on stretchers to return to the village!
This depends a lot on the player’s skill, the type of weapon they use, the spirit of teamwork, and even the player’s own “attitude”!
Take a look at the SHOULD and DON’T to do in a multiplayer level of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate!
SHOULD
– Please prepare a full range of tools such as bombs, traps, cooling water … before entering the mission.
– Pay attention to what weapons your friends use and change accordingly.
– Cooperate well if your teammates want to use a tactical formation of Status + bombs + traps.
-Please pay attention to kill small monsters that can “destroy” your teammates if you are using Dual Blades, Longsword, Sword & Shield.
– Pay attention to see if you have the [Advance] missions that your teammates need or not.
– Try to fulfill your role well (depending on the weapon), not hard to show personal skills.
– Be tolerant and try to “carry” you if they play badly.
– Keep an eye on and use Flash Bomb / Dung Bomb / Lifepowder… to save you from dangerous situations.
SHOULD NOT
– Never use Pellet S bullets, unless all 4 of you are master using it!
– Never use Bow / Elemental Discharge Arc Shot by Gunlance / Wyvern Fire by Lance / Joust Gunlance / Joust by Hammer and Hunting Horn, otherwise control the direction.
– Never rush to pick up the item the monster dropped.
– Never use group supportive weapons when fighting strangers for the first time.
– Never throw Flash Bomb, if you cannot guarantee its accuracy.
– Never stop drinking/sharpening knives/reloading / storing weapons if you’re not sure the monster is aiming for someone else.
– Never get angry when someone else dies on a failed mission.
– Never “shout” when there is a rare item that others do not have for the reason of your own “health safety”.
– Never take a position to attack the head, if not using Hammer / Hunting Horn.
It can be said that a successful mission in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is determined by the team’s chemistry, not by an individual’s level. So, limit the use of weapons that tend to be “solo” like Lance / Gunlance, for many reasons.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has up to 12 weapons with completely different fighting styles and properties. It is difficult for anyone to master it all, because there are items that depend entirely on the user’s personality, because of the characteristics of the weapons, as well as the difference between single/multiplayer, a hunter standard in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate must master at least 3 different items, to coordinate with teammates effectively.
This is the point that makes Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate in particular and the Monster Hunter series in general interesting to the majority of players. You play forever, practice forever, but still not bored because each weapon has its advantages and disadvantages and completely different properties.
The Greatsword and Hammer are meant for cautious players who prefer precise and effective shots. These are weapons that are difficult to use because they depend a lot on grasping the timing as well as requiring the user to be familiar with the habit of the monsters.
Dual Blades, Sword & Shield, and Longsword are weapons for players who are familiar with action games, due to their versatility and mobility. These are also convenient weapons for both multiplayer and single-player and are easy to get used to for beginners.
Switch Ax can be said to be a mixture of Longsword + Greatsword when possessing both attack speed, attack range, and highest damage in the game. The ability to arbitrarily switch between two types of ax/sword + the ability to jump sideways and dodge attacks will maximize the effect in the hands of the “master”, making the air battles in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate “easy to breathe”. much.
Lance / Gunlance are two quite interesting weapons, because of many similarities. For new players or afraid of death, they are items with the ability to block championship attacks. In the hands of the good hunters, these are the weapons with the most formidable attack power and flexibility.
The Hunting Horn is a strange weapon, very difficult to use. It can be used to attack very effectively thanks to its damage, range, and speed – but is difficult to maneuver. It also possesses the “unique” property, which is to play songs to “buff” stats/heal teammates.
If a group of hunters has a Hunting Horn master, they can guarantee success rates of up to 101%! The Bow / Light Bowgun can be turned into a single-player and multiplayer weapon, because of its “hit & run” calculation. With many angles of attack and extraordinary power, hunters who are accustomed to shooting with the “annoying” camera of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will become a powerful assistant for their teammates in “tough” battles because of their scary damage and their very effective Status.
The Heavy Bowgun seems heavy and slow, but once you get used to teamwork + getting the right gear, its massive damage (especially against giant Elderdragon) will cause hunters are “addicted”, it is difficult to get rid of them.
It should be distinguished, that the “multiplayer” item in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is divided into two categories: Multi (local LAN) for three 3DS machines + a Wii U / 4 3DS machine within a radius of 30 meters, and Network Mode (Wi-Fi) for Wii U machines.
Multi
With Multi-format, there’s nothing to say much, because the 3DS / Wii U internal network system itself is very good, rarely crashes or lag (except in case of firmware difference between machines).
The only thing to note is that because of the nature of LAN play, the “hunters” should choose a comfortable place, can sit for a long time with an affordable water price. At the same time should also bring “props” for the full fun such as a charger cord, multi-pin socket, and a relaxed, sociable spirit.
Network Mode
The problem to note most is still due to the fussy nature of the Wii U’s Wi-Fi network (or only the Wi-Fi in ASEAN, the writer does not know), but sometimes the connection status quite flicker.
However, it seems that Capcom is very attentive to server maintenance, so even though almost 2 years have passed, the server of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is still very stable. There is an average of 1000 – 1200 players connected at the same time around the world, especially even up to 2000! After connecting to Network Mode, players can choose from a list of Worlds with a capacity of 1000 people at the same time, which is divided into 10 small Lobby halls with a capacity of 100 people / each Lobby.
Players can create a playroom or search for other people’s rooms made available to join. In the list of rooms will be displayed items, such as what the goal of that room is (free play, Rank up,…).
It can be said that Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate version since moving to 3DS / Wii U platform has had a big breakthrough in the interface.
With the 2-screen feature (both 3DS and Wii U), players can customize the grouping of icons to the bottom screen (map display, player list, quick use of items, target lock, signaling, crafting …), leaving room on the main screen to display the entire game screen to fully enjoy the amazing graphics of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.
The map in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is displayed quite simply, compensating in great detail when using different colors to indicate the terrain characteristics of each area.
The location of the monster will be marked with a pink light on the map when the player throws the Paint Ball to track or has the skill Auto-Tracker – this is a very valuable aid, because the monsters in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, will move to other areas depending on the time but not stay.
Players that are unfamiliar with the habit will find it difficult to track, leading to spending a lot of time navigating through areas looking for them.
With groups of buttons to quickly access and use items, really once you get used to it, the player will feel very comfortable, being able to both strategize and join the match without having to stop.
With the new feature “lock target” and automatically rotate the camera to the new target that appeared in version Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, really the difficulty of the game has been greatly reduced. Remember before, without this feature, battles in Monster Hunter were a nightmare when moving/attacking while having to rotate the camera manually to track the monster.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has a built-in virtual D-Pad navigation key on the touch screen, for convenient camera rotation – especially for hunters using long-range weapons with aiming mode. 3DS users can purchase the Circle Pad Pro accessory to add an Analog-stick on the right, which can be easier to operate.
The game itself is a super product that is hard to blame in any way. However, the experience of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate from the perspective of a new multiplayer is a new feeling, worthwhile, deserving to take the game to another level.
Maybe, for many veteran players, the fact that 4 people go into “bullying” a monster is quite funny and nothing is a challenge – but don’t forget that most of the monsters in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate are very “Strength”, for example, even though the most” stubborn “player takes 20-25 minutes to” solo “a Jhen Mohran, or even 35-40 minutes with Alatreon.
After all, it depends on each person’s point of view, but for me, playing online is to experience fun with friends, and shorten the time when it is necessary to hunt rare items. Those who like to show their level just go home “solo” and then take pictures/record clips and show them off, no one forbids!
From the time I started playing Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate up to now, to me it has been a long period, about 3,000 hours of play during more than 18 months! The offline guild has also undergone many “blood changes”, old people leave, newcomers join – and there is no process that is both boring and fun to … up Rank (level) for new players.
Indeed, multiplayer in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is a very new and unforgettable experience, strong enough to connect all players with the same passion regardless of age, gender, social status.
STYLE PLAY
It is no exaggeration to say that the gameplay of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has reached the level of “perfection”, both in terms of depth and richness, and creativity. The game itself can be written into a definition for itself, this is very eloquent proof!
CONNECT
The server system of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is well maintained and maintained by Capcom, ensuring many simultaneous visits without any problems.
DESIGN
Possessing an intuitive and friendly interface, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has actually gone a long way in bringing this “difficult to play” game series closer to the masses. The first work of course must include the 2-screen display structure of the 3DS / Wii U that makes the amount of information displayed very fully while ensuring the best visibility.
The slightly uncomfortable camera can make the novice quite tired at first.
PERSONAL
Saying the writer’s bias is also right, but what’s wrong with giving lots of praise and affection to the game you love, especially when it is a super product that everyone has to recognize like Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate?
Must play Monster Hunter to know what real gaming is, and must play online in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate to know what true friendship is!
