User blog comment:Aandrew07/Portable 3rd too easy?/@comment-121.54.41.117-20110526083652

I have to disagree somehow. I killed the 4-star village Rathian twice, with basic Yukumo armor and Iron Katana 'Gospel'. (Note that on my second kill, I got a Rathian Plate.) But same went for MHFU. I finished the 4-star village Blangonga and 4-star guild Blangonga with the initial Mafumofu set, too. Until then, I had to make Blango armor (rarity 4) to proceed with the Tigrex. You have to know that the game had just started, and village quests are supposed to be easy. And I didn't have trouble killing the Kut-ku, it was in fact, one of the easiest to kill in MHFU. I'm not bragging or anything, I call myself still a rookie in this game, and I'm not one of those master hunters. To be honest, I never got through the 5-star guild urgent Tigrex, and it made me quit MHFU and wait for MHP3rd instead. We are just a little too accustomed to the game. I think MHP3rd is no different from MHFU in terms of difficulty. They might just have lowered the monster's HP, or lessened the frequency of some attacks, but not really lowered the difficulty.
