There is one thing I'll warn you about though. Capcom decided to be idiots about the charm tables. There is a cursed 5 tables out of iirc 17 that only get 200ish-800ish charms and no good charms really. Some of them can't even get 3 slot no skill charms. 2 can't get rust shards. The other tables have like 21000+ charms you can get. What charm table you end up locked in is decided at character creation. There is a very simple guide setup to get the exact table you want. Other than that I had a blast playing it yesterday. Got it a few days early due to preordering directly from Capcom. Seems a lot of people(mostly those who preordered with next day shipping) got emails saying Capcom had ran out of the game. They underestimated the fan demand a lot it seems. Either that or they were hoping for more digital sales.

I'll give that wiki a look sometime. I can confirm that save data doesn't transfer between 3 and 3U though. I don't really mind since even in low ranks there's so much more to do now.

MH3U is quite a bit more than MH3. The monsters you can fight pretty much doubled if not more so and there is a third monster tier. There is also the addition of quite a few weapons that you couldn't access before. Also there is a little bit added to the main story including a second shakalaka helper, which apparently has humorous interactions with Cha Cha. If it was just a port I wouldn't of bothered.

As for MGQ side stories. I'm kinda feeling lazy about actually finding and adding them in.

I haven't been on here in a long while. Been quite busy lately. Games here, games there. Working out for about an hour and twenty minutes every day. It became quite difficult keeping up with 3 groups and doing everything else so this place kind of fell to the side. x.x Also I haven't played any of the MGQ mods yet and the only side stories I have are the ones posted on RogueTranslations. And with Monster Hunter 3u coming out next week my soul is about to be stolen. >.<
