She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. “The Little Mermaid” is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. It’s familiar, but it’s also a major drawback that the next Monster Hunter game needs to recognize and reorganize to be more efficient. I felt like I wasted too much time digging through layers of menus spread between two places looking for equipment, arts, and items to craft. The inventory interface might’ve been tested over the past decade, but the underlying framework feels neglected and dated despite the updated art. The problem is that actually combining them is a huge chore. By amassing tons of raw materials, you can build lots of handy potions to lower stamina drain, increase your attack power, or improve elemental resistances. And there’s plenty to do, from special quests that toss multiple beasts into one map to high-ranking quests that toss you at the strongest monsters Generations has to offer.The fantastic headline battles in Generations require lots of prep, which tends to be the slower part of this action RPG. The four-player lobbies are easier to set up than ever thanks to the redesigned hub, so you can jump online or set up a local lobby and head off on your next hunt. Multiplayer hunting is still the best part of Generations, and the mode in which you’ll likely spend the most time after you’ve finished the 25-hour campaign. Playing the gatherer makes sense in a handful of situations where you need materials to make new gear, but otherwise these forgetful tasks pale compared to fighting the massive creatures preying on this world. This is supposed to be Monster Hunter, not Mushroom Hunter, yet time and time again I was sent to gather 10 of the things. While Timewalking is active, you will gain a 50 bonus to reputations earned from quests and creature kills for all reputations associated with the corresponding expansion. Rewards: Cache of Vault Treasures containing one piece of non-tier gear from Normal Vault of the Incarnates. The only part that drags is the boring fetch quests where you gather mundane resources. Quest requirement: Complete 5 Timewalking dungeons. It’s neat to explore these throwbacks from past games on 3DS. Likewise, Generations’ story and presentation take a back seat in this installment, which is definitely a bummer, but that lack of nuance at least speeds up the pace of campaign.Īs the new hunter on the block, you’ll unlock new quest ranks and the four hub villages quickly, with wonderfully honed art direction that brings locales from previous MH games onto the 3DS. Generations doesn’t introduce any new weapons into the fold, though it does rebalance all 14 of Monster Hunter’s deadly tools to make them work with the new style options. So there you have it! You can now get them via the downloads page of the game.Sadly, that’s about it for new stuff. Objective: Hunt a Gammoth, a Malfestio and a Brachydios
