I FINALLY got Monster Hunter Tri!!! WOOHOO!! *celebration!* AND SO FAR ITS BEEN AWESOME! unless you count the part where i DIED HORRIBLY FROM THE FIRST CARNIVORES. *sighs* nobody said using a Great Sword would be easy, but i soon learned the wonders of "KICKING THEM IN THE FACE THEN ATTACKING". Chuck Norris must've been part of this game's production, seeing as its the only type of kick that i think can knock back a dinosaur and NOT feel pain. anyways, if you have any advice for a newbie to the game, armor, weapons, where to get what and what to use what on and so on, i would REALLY appreciate it because THIS is my first time playing the series. so yeah. . with that i just want to say is that i'm really happy to have the game and i'm off to play it again!!! *runs off to play said game of awesome*
