Monster Hunter Tri: Hunter Log #1

Posted May 7, 2010 by ChangingFaces (195)

Writer’s note: this feature is a role played first impression of Monster Hunter Tri. It will describe my first couple days experiencing the game, so people interested on it might know how well/bad the game starts. This is not a review; the full review of the game will be out soon after this feature (which will end Monday) is over. Note that “soon” doesn’t mean “right after”, as this will only cover the first couple hours.

With that said…

Hello fellow and future hunters! Welcome to my hunting log! Here I’ll be showing you all how awesome my adventures are! And trust me, they’re far from simplistic.

- I arrived at this place, a fishing village named Moga, yesterday. The people were kind and gave me a place to sleep. I wake up the morning after with an earthquake, and rush outside to see what’s happening. What do they tell me? That the terrifying demon of the seas, the Lagiacrus, is their new neighbor and he causes those earthquakes while he’s out hunting… well it’s not like someone is getting injured, right? Wait, you mean your fishing boats are missing? And you want me to get stronger so I can get rid of it? But I just started this job! You know this is going to take a while, right? You don’t mind? Well gee, thanks!

meet Moga Village.

- So I accept to help them. I go outside the village into the Moga Woods to find the elder’s son, who’s probably about my age. He said something about bringing him meat… ok, to my first hunt! I find some herbivores right out of town. I slay a few of them with my sword & shield and grab the loot: a bunch of raw meat. Walking some more I find the hunter base, which is where I’ll start all the quests taking place in Moga Woods… wait a minute, this place is in ruins! Oh, there’s the elder’s son… CARE TO EXPLAIN ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? YOU KNOW THAT THE HUNTER’S GUILD WON’T SEND ME JOBS IF I DON’T HAVE A BASE, RIGHT? Oh… it was the Lagiacrus’ latest earthquake that did it? I… I didn’t know. Sorry for the screaming. So what you’re saying is that all I have to do is grab some resources to help rebuild town? I can take care of it.
