Does anyone have these great games? I have recently bought MHF2 and I'm loving it. It's so much better than MHF1. One thing I especially like is that you can combine in the village now....don't remember if you could do that in MHF1. So far I'm stuck fighting the urgent quest for the 2* where I have to kill the blind monster. I also love the fact that you can download extra quests/bonus stuff too. Will do the next download on Wednesday and see what else it has.

Any other Monster Hunters out there? If so, put your weapons down, sit down and chat.

I find MHF2 to be far better than the original. There's new weapons (of which the longsword and bow are my favourite). New enemies and items. Plus having the ability to download new quests is a great addition....shame it wasn't able to have online play though. Although I'm not very far in either game, once I buy MHF1 for my girlfriend, I'll be playing that more (she's been borrowing my game).

Just out of curiousity....how far have you got in the game? In MHF, I was stuck at killing Rathlos (urgent quest 3* for Elder). On MHF2, I'm now on to the 3* for elder but haven't done much as I'm trying to get more materials for better weapons. I know I'm not very good at it but I'm having fun and that's all that matters.

I haven't played MHF1 for a while but when I can, I'll try using the demonlock with some cluster shells against the rathlos. I tried the eternal strife but never quite killed him...though think I got close a few times.

I have to say that I prefer the way samurai swords handle in MHF2 (now classed as longswords rather than great swords). I'm a samurai fan and I think it's much better how it's used now.

I don't actually mind the controls. What can annoy me at times is the camera. But only a few minor times have I been annoyed at the camera.

Just found out that I was able to kill a rathlos before I let my girlfriend borrow it as I found rathlos items in my inventory. Didn't kill the urgent one though as that's still there so much have been another one. Maybe the first egg quest. Will try the urgent a few more times with the Eternal Strife and if I still don't do it, will try with Demonlock using clusts.

Well, was able to kill the Rathalos urgent quest yesterday so I'm happy now. Killed him with the Eternal Strife so no need to use bowgun yet. Will either do some capture rathalos quests (if any in 4*) or just kill the Rathalos in earlier egg quests. Only died once so should get better and not die at all after a while.

MH thread...awesome...good thinking Val

I still need to replay some quests for money..think will do some later on...or maybe do some fishing too...

What you could do is do the gathering quests and take as much fishing bait as possible and afterwards, sell all the fish. For myself, I might just fight Kut Kus and sell the materials....or the vespoid quest (using poison bombs make it SO easy....and profitable).

Still want to play 2 player by the way. ;P
