If anyone wishes to post pertaining to the other console versions in here, you are welcome to do so as long as it pertains to this game.
In this game, the basic story (no matter what gender or what changes you make to the basic look) of the single-player mode is that you arrive on an island that has a few villagers, you're a new "Hunter" sent to take care of the village. Your equipment starts off with a basic sword-and-shield set and the clothes your character wears on their back. The game goes through all of the basics with you, so don't rush them if you've never seen them before... or even if you have, it's a good idea to review them.
Now, as for which of the weapons I've used aside from the basic equipment, I've gotten into the Medium Bowgun. When you get a Bowgun, do not get ammunition right away, you have unlimited of the very basic ammunition for the Bowgun you have. The Medium one resembles an assault rifle for the most part, able to be folded in three places for quick storage. Now for tips on when you get the Bowgun of your choice: As soon as you get into the field, load your Bowgun before you even intend on using it. Having a loaded bowgun before you get into a dicey situation will save your hide. Also, before you get a Bowgun of any choice, using of the Wiimote at the screen will not help you in aiming. You have to move your up and down aiming in camera controls in quick-aim or while in standard aiming. You can't move about while in the standard aiming, but you can move about in quick-aim as though you weren't aiming at all.
I'll have to divulge more information in another post if people are interested in this.
