I think that this was a nice addition to MH. I've been a fan of MH since the first one and tri really threw me a loop with underwater fighting. Having to adapt to the camera shifting and monster movement while trying not to drown was a nice challenge. It is obvious that some of the monsters are built strictly for the underwater combat, such as lagiacrus and gobul but monsters like r. ludroth fight pretty well on both. Ill be really interested to see how the new lagiacrus subspecies takes more of the fight to land and how plesioth acts with underwater combat.

I do think that the color scheme for Ceadeus Subspecies and Lagiacrus Rare Species should be swapped tho. Maybe im alone in this but if Ceadeus is the water god, he should have some more water-like coloring to him. Ceadeus is a monster I enjoy fighting, but he isnt as vibrant as a monster of his caliber should be.

Guran-Miraosu.......im not very excited about this one. I've tried to avoid watching any gamplay of 3U for the sole purpose of wanting to have lots of suprises from the new monsters and subspecies. But I just had to watch a video when I heard we were getting a Fatalis type elder dragon that we could fight in the water......One look.....and I was disappointed. I watched about 10 minutes of gameplay, he acts identical in the water as he does on land and he is more of a scifi monster style than something that might actually exist. He looks cool, but I would have rather seen an Azure Fatalis that controls hurricanes and lightning or something like that. All the same I'll still enjoy giving him a few cuts from the old GS.
