I think it would be worth checking out local stores, if they sell it early. Saw many photos of people that had it already (as well as the N3DS bundle).
 
5 hours later…
12:58
the only local gameshop in my area that isn't gamestop is a retro store, they don't carry anything from this generation
 
1 hour later…

@Rapitor You might have to bite the bullet and get it from Gamestop.
@Frank but gamestop...
@Rapitor Does your love of Monster Hunter outweigh your hatred of Gamestop?
they don't even have 3ds available either, according to website anyway
probably going to have to wait until next shipment >_>
@Rapitor Aww.
14:58
I blame nintendo for them not realizing people would actually want to buy their cool stuff.
@Rapitor I got into a fun argument with a friend about that.
I think it's because the real decision makers are old, super traditional, and don't really understand capitalism.
I believe that. Nintendo is still really old fasioned
I found a neat article about why Nintendo doesn't understand online.
It's because the higher ups are in Kyoto, which is a very traditional, very top down hierarchy.
And any one of the executives has the power to veto an idea, so most of the people, even if they realize change is needed, try to make small changes that they can get the executives on board for.

@Yuuki I will miss Chacha and Kayamba.
I know felynes are the regular companions, but with Tri being my start, I haven't really had Felynes at all.
I can't wait to try out hunting in 3D.
@Yuuki I want to see how the 3D in the N3DS holds up.
Hopefully it doesn't hurt like the regular 3DS did after a while.
The head-tracking supposedly helps tremendously.

MH4U Review Bingo Card:
> New 3ds is required to play
Bullshit
@5pike Thatsthejoke.jpg
@Frank I won't. I'd much rather have Felynes.
@Yuuki Eh, this is the only point that's straight up a lie, though.
A lion's share of the points don't understand the game though. Flexing for healing, for example, is for game balance.
You have to carefully consider when to heal. Otherwise, it's bullrush the Rathalos and spam health pots as you get curbstomped.
15:38
@Yuuki Yeah, but they aren't total lies.
@5pike Most of them aren't something to mark the game down for though.
Yes, Vita/Wii U is a valid complaint.
More Wii U than Vita, but whatevs.
@Yuuki Yeah, I know that.
16:07
I think I'm going to give Insect Glaive another shot when the game rolls out.
16:54
i've said these. red and highlighted ive said many, many times
@Rapitor Big weapons mean you move slow.
i understand that, but walking like a sloth? come on
could hustle a little bit
@Rapitor Lancers and gunlancers use the backhop to move faster, actually.
The lancer even have the triple backhop, so you hop backwards to the monster.
17:10
@Frank that just sounds silly
@Rapitor It works, though.
i like the sprint charge attack, but its strictly straight line and eats basically all my stamina
A more complicated way to do it for the Gunlance is the forward charge, shell right before you raise the lance, and repeat.
so, snowstorm over night tonight.
Luckily I live close to stores, so gosh darn it, I'm going!
Also only 10cm.
Not great, but not "OH MY LORD SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING" bad.
More like "well snap, I best take it a bit slower than usual this morning"
I'm so happy I bought Evolve. It is making the MH4U wait a lot easier.
18:04
I really need to get this on a cd
err, not a cd
my mp3 player
so I can play it in my car
Ideally by tomorrow
Testing.
18:32
@Frank Yes
18:59
@Rapitor You're carrying a fifteen-foot pole and a shield the size of your chest.
@Yuuki Chest? More like whole body
 
3 hours later…

1 hour later…
22:42
Oh hey, Amazon shipped my Monster Hunter.
I might actually get it tomorrow.
23:40
@Yuuki aMAZON IS PRETTY RAD
ALSO CAPS LOCK
23:55
Slime is being renamed to Blast, apparently. Maybe.
@Yuuki Interesting
