Anyone a fan of the monster hunter series? I've played a few of them, and they're kinda hit and miss (mostly miss.) I just got a copy of Freedom for the PSP from gamefly the other day, and I must say, unless you are the most die hard of die hard fans, avoid this game like the plague.
The learning curve on this sucker is inhuman. Even after downloading the instruction manual as a PDF, reading some FAQs on GameFAQs, and googling the crap out of all the questions I had, I STILL have very little clue as to how to advance. There are so many menus, different NPCs, questgivers, salesmen, cooks, crafters, weapon types, armors, items, it dosn't end! The manual does nothing to clear the fog of confusion.
It's going back to GameFly in the morning... Maybe they'll have a copy of Valkarie Profile for the PSP in.
