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. >.<

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.

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.
