Today's Bonus:

If you've ever owned the MH3rd Portable on PSP, you'll love the HD update ported to the PS3. Digitally remastered, the graphics look crisp, fresh, and visually stimulating.

For those that've tried tri or unite, here are some new features that shouldn't be overlooked:

1. customization of felyne companions' equipment

2. guild hall has a felyne kitchen, now called a hot spring, can be upgraded by clearing hot spring quests (put in some serious work)

3. hunting fields in tri are included in this title

4. mountain stream new field

5. hunts are finally easier due to the fact that monster attacks are divided between player and companion

6. tons of new creatures

I've put in nearly 150 hours into this game and am still playing. It's in Japanese, but on PSP, there is an english patch to turn the entire game to english.

Don't import this game unless you have:

1. A good understanding of the Japanese language.

-or-

2. Play a lot (100 hours+) of Monster Hunter games.

I have spent over around 800 hours playing monster hunter games in the last 6 years, and still want to play more. This game is available on the psp, and if you have a "hacked" psp, fans have released a mostly translated version. Unfortunately, due to Sony and or/Capcom dropping the ball, we may never see an official English release of this title. My wife bought me this PS3 version for Christmas. This game is the same as the psp game with higher resolution graphics for an HDTV, you can even transfer your save data between your ps3 and psp. Another cool thing about it is that it comes with the Japanese version ofAdHocParty on the disc. This program has voice chat while you play! With this program on your ps3, you can play this game, and the psp version with anyone else using the Japanese AdHocParty. You can even play the psp version, and the ps3 version together online! There are specific rooms online for English players, so if your a big monster hunter fan, and the language barrier is stopping you from playing this game, I hope to chat with you soon!

*It seems your ps3 must be connected to the internet with a cable for AdHocParty to work. Because AdHocParty needs the wireless connection to be available for a psp to connect. This is ok because if you want to play this game online, your going to need really solid internet to play with people in Japan anyway.

Buy Capcom Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD Ver. for PS3 Now

I have been meaning to buy this game since its release, but decided to give it sometime and wait for an English release. It has been a little over a year since the PSP release, and there has not yet been any progress towards an english release. This PS3 version was released in August 25, 2011. About 8 months from today (March 15, 2012). I decided to wait a bit for an English Release of this PS3 version, but recently decided i was done waiting (I have been waiting for 16 months for an English release of the PSP version, but there has been no announcement of it being translated). So i decided to buy this game, even tho i have NO experience of the Japanese language. The only monster hunter game i have played is Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (PSP). With 0 japanese knowledge, about 100 hours of monster hunter play, and this being my FIRST game i have ever imported, I figured id be screwed if i bought this game. However, That was not the case. After playing the game for 10 minutes, i realized its basically a clone of MHFU, except it has more customization options for your Felynes, and a other improvements. The menus function the same way as MHFU, except for a few which had more or less option. The only trouble im having is figuring out the equipment information and what is needed to make it. Basically making equipment. After walking around town, i started a mission with my usual weapon (didn't even bother to go to the training school). Once i entered the map, just looking at the screen, the controls from MHFU came back to me, and i instantly started doing my favorite combos and such. The first monster i fought died easily. It felt like i was playing MHFU, but with different monsters, different maps, and a lot more Badass (1080P XD). This game supports 480P, 720P, 1080i, 1080P & 3D TV's..Wish I had one :(

Things to know...

1) This game supports online, but you MUST have a wired conection (Ethernet Cable) to play online. You also must make a Japanese PSN account to download the Ad Hoc Party utility (Free) needed to play online. You can play this game online on any account, but you must make a Japanese PSN account to download the utility. Up to 4 hunters may embark on a single mission together, and whatever you receive/complete/do Online saves to your Offline account (Also supports voice chat). For instruction on making a Japanese PSN account and downloading the Utility, I recommend you go to Youtube and search "How to play MHP3rd HD online"

2) If you need help in translating Menus/Materials/Items/Quests/Text, I would recommend you go to google and search "MHP3rd Translation" (Even tho the translations are for the PSP version, this game is a digitally remastered version for the PS3, so all the gameplay is the same as well as the Text)

3) In U.S.A, the X button is usually to Accept/Yes/Proceed, while the O button is to Cancel/No/Back. In Japan however, its backwards. X is to Cancel/No/Back, while O is to Accept/Yes/Proceed. This will be confusing at first -.but you'll get the hang of it soon.

My ratings...

Menu Ease = 8/10

Graphics = 10/10

Controls = 10/10

Online = 10/10

--------

OVERALL = 10/10 for a Must Have game ;)

Want Capcom Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD Ver. for PS3 Discount?

i knew nothing about this game, never even played the other versions, and i dont know a single word of japanese

with some explanation from a friend of mine who has played this game for a while, he taught me how to play and i caught on pretty quick

of course there were some parts that were really irritating, but the game was fun to play when we both got online and played and chatted

my friend did not know any japanese, he remembered the feel of the game all from playing the previous monster hunger games

i suggest that you dont buy this game unless you either know what your doing, understand japanese fluently, or have a friend who can guide you through the game,
