I was there in the morning period today, I came late and only had an hour to do anything and devoted that to MH4U. Gore Magala instantly became my new fave as soon as I fought it, much more brutal than I expected. I did the multiplayer (my first time ever) with 3 random people and we managed to beat the record for Tetsucabra with 2 SA, 1 LBG, and 1 SnS and 8 minutes left on the clock (no one was able to defeat Gore Magala at all lol, the one second record still stands). I find Insect Glaive to be a really fun weapon to use especially with the jumping mechanic that helps as not only an offensive move but also evasive. I wasn't much into the Charge Blade although I would want to be able to make more use of its attacks before I make a judgement on it.

Contrary to what others used to say, the game does indeed look rather nice when played on a 3ds. Areas look a lot more vibrant and colourful and you really don't take notice of any graphical downgrades when moving about. Really enjoyed the game overall, I'm coming back on Sunday to play some more and hopefully settle top record for Gore Magala (although the vouchers won't help me since I have an american 3ds)
