>>180069149
There's a new MH game every year. The teaser was late due to the platform change. They can't afford to talk about a bigger MH game on a competing platform when there are still MH games coming out on Nintendo.

Except for MH3. That one is okay to talk about before MHP2G came out because it's a big win for Nintendo and therefore has to be announced as soon as possible

>>180069272

on wii the focus was obviously water and lighting, two things they seemingly abandoned. This isn't to say they still didn't want to implement stealth, but that may have taken a backseat. It seems world is changing much more than tri did

"Artificial difficulty" doesn't exist in under any objective conception and anyone using the term unironically is absolutely retarded.
Your idea of what is ok and isn't on a video game doesn't constitute "artificial difficulty". You can't draw an arbitrary line on things as necessary and unnecesary and use some bullshit made-up term to claim something on objective terms. By your retarded logic, anything restricting the player in any fashion is "artificial difficulty", including gravity and recovery animations of any kind.

Thanks for coming out with the truth bro

>>180070847
The character standing around after drinking a potion does serve a reason, it commits you as a form of cost of having to use a potion in the first place. You want to use a potion, you pay the cost. Everything in video games is action and consequence, you pay a price for everything you do, from locking yourself to charging with a greatsword to superman diving out of an attack to using a potion. You commit to the action, you pay the price.
Removing the potion animation is removing the cost of using it, thus removing punishment for getting hit beyond losing 1 potion in your inventory.

>Artificial difficulty
Nice """""""argument""""""

>>180070691
>by your logic, anything restricting player movement is artificial
no, artificial is a relative concept. like I said before, if you can accomplish the same purpose through gameplay means, it's less artificial
>gravity
only facially, if your game is somewhat grounded in reality gravity is a somewhat necessary element. Increasing or decreasing gravity could actually be artificial difficulty, though I struggle to think of an example. Perhaps removing the ability to jump solely so the player has less dimensions to dodge from?

recovery animations on the other hand are almost entirely a balance consideration, and have a wide variety of applications. like I said before, they can make drinking a potion take as long as they want to increase or decrease the difficulty artificially, because it isn't derived from a gameplay mechanic per se

>artificial difficulty isn't objective
difficulty itself isn't objective, they're both relative concepts

I'm conveying what I consider it to be.

another example you might find better would be just recovering damage over time automatically, like in call of duty. This is clearly an obvious example of artificially decreasing difficulty, because it removes many gameplay considerations while maybe introducing 1 (hiding)

It's ALL a question of balance. The long potion drinking animation is the cost you pay for using it. You're pointing at balance elements you don't like and singling them out as "artificial difficulty" because they don't fit your conception of what is and isn't ok based on irrelevant shit like how close to reality it is, and it's irrelevant because each game has its own mechanics that interact with each other.
Whether the character is flexing, drinking the potion, fucking himself with a rake, it doesn't matter, what matters is how many frames you are locked to, and that is the commitment of using a potion. Removing that animation but making it so the monster AI instantly runs over to you as soon as you use a potion, and making that the cost of using it, wouldn't be "natural difficulty", it would be a different way of balancing potion usage.

>>180071079

Thanks, that's a well put argument but shills will still call it archaic and hardware constrained.

Just remember, Never Be Game Over.

Are Gathering Hall quests in line in terms of difficulty with Caravan quests? So a 5 star quest in Caravan is the same difficulty as a 5 star Gathering Hall quest?

The reason World isn't on Switch is because planning and development for it (when it was MH5) started back in 2013 or 2014. This was before Nintendo knew what they wanted the NX/Switch to be. Remember, Tegra X1 didn't come out until beginning of 2015. And the Wii U was stinking up the place something fierce. Also, companies like Capcom and Square Enix were still hoping the PS4 would unfuck itself in Japan. Which didn't happen, so they're relying on the West to cover the deficit in sales from Japan.

I've only heard from 3rd-hand sources, but the development of the Switch adaptation of World, whatever form it'll take, is already underway. But you won't hear anything about it for a while.

>it's all a question of balance

I'll give you another example

let's take the sport of racing. Right now they restrict the speed cars can go as a safety precaution. higher speeds and highest contrasts of speeds make the sport harder, so this makes the sport somewhat easier.

now let's say technology makes it possible for 100% safety, and they can remove the speed limiters

keeping the speed limiters in would be keeping it artificially easier, and you would be the equivalent of a person saying it's necessary to the sport

if they can accomplish the purpose of a clunky mechanic implemented to fix the problem of something else being too easy because of technology, how is that inherently bad?

>>180071481
But both are region free so who cares?

>>180071285
>right buddy
the problem with you people is you assume that is not the case, rational people are hoping that they do balance it

unlike you weird zealots we want the game to be good

>>180071436
there are few quality posts in here discussing things and none of them belong to people endlessly shitposting about mhw

>>180071675
Saying "it will be fine" instead of offering criticism and showing concern is how you make sure the game is going to be shit.

Is there really nothing that can be done about all the shitposting, from both sides? It's obvious to anyone that MHW is casualized trash, so what are we arguing about?

>>180071728
>offering criticism
the only people offering criticism so far look forward to the game by expressing what could make it balanced or hoping it will be

"it will be fine" is uncommon, more are saying "it could be fine"

your post is hilariously ironic when the majority of people shitting on it are doomsaying and repeating that the game is ruined without further evidence of a lack of balance

>>180071568
Games are not bound by the rules of reality as sports are. There is no "natural state" to a game for designers to even "artificially limit" it from, simply because the rules are 100% in their control. It's coded and built from the ground up and all the elements are in the hands of the designers.

You can argue anything, anything whatsoever that adds any challenge to a video game is "artificial", because video games are artificial, created, manipulated, by nature. Thus it makes no fucking sense as a term and basically means "difficulty I don't like". Scrubs use it as means of justifying to themselves that they are not bad and it's the game's fault that they can't deal with the consequences of their actions and improve.

>>180071856
>the rules are 100% in their control.
Except some of those rules might be limited by hardware or simply shitty coding, the old AI was shit and flexing was a balnce bandaid to patch it up

>>180071856
And if they add something to MHW to balance the lack of potion animation, and that something gels just as well with the rest of the mechanics, then great.
But nothing so far indicates that potions didn't just become an extension of your health bar with no punishment for using one whatsoever besides losing 1 unit of stock from your inventory.
That's what it looks like.

>>180072003
I want to remind you that we're drawing conclusions from a completely scripted 5 minutes of gameplay

>>180071995
I'm pretty sure the flex animation has been there from the start. Regardless of why it was added, the game was balanced around it.
And is the new AI somehow capable of punishing a player for using a potion? Without an animation to lock them in place at all? First problem that comes to mind with that theory is how much of the entire game this would change, imagine how fast monsters have to be to punish webm related. And if monsters are that fucking fast, then what happens to the weapon balance, which were all made for slower monsters?

Or will the "improved" AI just teleport the monster to your character as soon as you drunk a potion, to make up for the lack of flex animation? Would that be "natural" enough for you?

Flexing and segmented zones are literally design choices you fucking shill. Why does MHO have maps with individual areas instead of open world?

In world, you can jog while healing and nothing from the monster look like they have improved or more aggressive AI. Still looks same.

Face it, they are addressing some of the "concerns" that casuals who couldn't get into MH have. Then again, the combat still looks clunky and that was the main complaint so what gives?

>there is no natural state
there is no natural state in sports, but fine, I'll depart from sports

>there is no natural state
the natural state is whatever the developers see their game being, and the unnatural state would be the limitations imposed by technology

>you could argue anything whatsoever that adds any challenge to a videogame is artificial
no, I laid out what would constitute that, and you haven't refuted it.

for isntance, if the monster hunter devs want the only threat to the player to be the monsters, but tech limitations do not allow that or otherwise make it stupid (like solely speeding up the monsters with the same animations), then they have to add in other mitigating measures that don't ruin their vision of the game

>difficulty I don't like
I already mentioned I'm indifferent, but you'd rather shitpost unintelligently

>scrubs say it's the game's fault
has nothing to do with whether or not it's a proper mechanic or an essential part of the game

it's pretty unreasonable to insist artificial difficulty doesn't exist when things like health exist. Perhaps you would be more agreeable to something simplistic like "shit". As in: inflated health to the point where you can't ever kill something in a game to maximize the difficulty, where that is the purpose of the game, is a shit mechanic.

>literally design choices
if they didn't have flexing, how else could you balance the player healing? In a game where monsters literally can't hit you if you're moving

>monster ai looks the same
we don't know damage and we don't know what the harder monsters will be like, we also don't know the availability of healing items or other limiting factors, or how the game diverts from the demo

I hope they balance it, and I find it likely the A team will have thought about it

>>180072251
>inflated health to the point where you can't ever kill something in a game to maximize the difficulty,

Depends on the danger that particular enemy poses. If he can't realistically kill you, but still has a lot of health, then it's an easy boring fight that just takes a long time, it's not difficult.
If he can kill you, and thus the more time you spend in the fight the more likely you are to die, then this is a very difficult encounter, and the time spent on it only compounds the challenge.

Difficulty is related to fail state. Giving up and doing something else because the boss won't die and you aren't in any risk of dying yourself is not a fail state, dying is.

Don't get hung up on flexing. They could just make the drinking animation as long as drink+flex. The point is that healing keeping you stationary vs. allowing you to jog is a MAJOR difference.

>>180072250
>nothing from the monster look like they have improved or more aggressive AI
What we've watched until now was completely scripted, we didn't watch the AI we watched a script

>>180072574
The whole game is scripted

>>180072513
People seriously aren't considering the aesthetics of the animation when discussing difficulty and punishment, are they? They are only saying "flexing" so people know what animation they are talking about, right?
Because if they are actually bothered by the visual of the animation as opposed to the gameplay impact of locking you in place for x frames, then they aren't even worth talking to. But I guess they already aren't, when they can't deal with the consequence of recovering their health bar and instead of adapting and improve they use made-up terms to justify to themselves that the game is at fault and not them.

>>180072574
Talking about leaks, astroturfer. Those leaks looked JUST like regula animations slightly improved. Nothing like animations that these youtuber shills are hyping to high heavens.

>endurance isn't a skill

health is an artificial mechanic introduced to induce longer encounters to make them harder

you say yourself that more health compounds the challange

two equal enemies, where one has more health, the second is inherently more difficult. The more complex an enemy is, or the more likely it is to kill you doesn't change this fact, health will give them more opportunity to drain your resources and create a failstate than otherwise

you can design your game where theoretically 100 health is the where x number of players die to it, and then increasing it to 150 will increase the amount of players that die to it

a dev at path of exile practically wrote a book on it

>>180072513
>they could make it just as long

it is, for the reasons I gave that you haven't addressed

I'll give you another example

If they could model a rathalos tail to require a physics based system to cut it off, however realistic or not that system would be, it would likely be preferable to health given it being implemented well

you've ignored many of the points I've brought up across many of the posts on top of being obtuse

should I get a 3ds, 3ds xl to play MH4U like some anons suggested a couple of threads ago. or a switch? how does the online work in this game? is it server based? will I be able to play with 100 ping? thanks! plz answer

Then it would be a different game entirely.
Either all difficulty is "artificial" or none of it is, a game having stats as mechanics doesn't make it artificial, it makes it a different type of game. I've addressed what I thought was relevant to the discussion of "artificial difficulty", a term /v/irginshitters were using to shit on the game, so if you don't even think whatever it is you think is "artificial difficulty" is bad, then I have no idea whatsoever as to why you're even arguing about it.

Because the game works around hitting body parts in general until they break, not precisely cutting certain joints at a certain time. The game is not precise enough for this, it's not fucking Metal Gear Rising with its slow motion blade cutting sections.
And you didn't offer a direct rebuttal to differentiate artificial from non-artificial (natural?), you simply argued that things like stats are artificial and physics based stuff is not, which as I said makes no sense because games aren't bound by reality (using your sports metaphor) and different games offer different mechanics with different rules and the only relevant aspect to them is how they interact with each other, things that contribute to the player reaching a failstate involuntarily are difficulty, including punishments and animation commitment.

>Having a 4 second animation for drinking a potion (punishment) to restore your health (reward) is artificial difficulty
>Drinking a potion instantly but having the monster instantly lock on and get a speed boost towards the healing player (punishment) to make up for healing his health (reward)
Literally the same goal accomplished through two different ways, how the fuck is one artificial and the other isn't? Please stop using that term and people won't call you out for it

>>180074168
From my experience they are trying to justify to themselves that they aren't bad and that the game is at fault, as opposed to them not adapting to the mechanics and improving.
Either that or they move goalposts until they reach postmodernist levels of fuckery and even more arbitrary lines drawn on arbitrary definitions of arbitrary things.

>>180073191

Looking better is subjective. To some people, the flex fits in with the whimsical nature of Monster Hunter.

To others, flex is stupid because a) animation is whimsical b) it locks you in place or c) they are shilling (see projared).

Now who is Capcom targeting with MHW, with its jogging while healimg, based on the above?

Also remember how gaijincuckster said that you almost slow to a crawl when you heal? Judging by the leaks, you clearly don't. This game is a circus of misinformation and astroturfing, which os nothing unusual for something that heavily involves sony.

Say what you will about arts and styles and animuuu but we never got this with MH on Nintendo platforms.

I'm sorry you made wrong decisions like that in your life. Reddit really is a better place for you.

>>180074391
It's feeling very weird, around here and other places that discussed MH before and after the World reveal.
The subreddit (I know, I know, you don't have to post it) at the very first day of the reveal was heavily mixed to negative, with everyone showing concerns on the direction of the game and what it meant for the series and how westernized it looked, literally 1 day later moderators stepped in and did a lock down on negative posts and placed stickies everywhere basically telling the community to "be positive" and "look forward to the game" and shit like that, since then the atmosphere completely changed and people who never posted there before are hyping the game up and negative comments are getting massively downvoted, a very stark contrast to when the game was actually shown.

Then there is the Youtuber situation. ProJared in particular is shocking, since I know for a fact that he understood what those things that he now claim are "clunky" and "needed to go" meant for the game, evidenced by his guides on 3U and 4U which detailed for new players how to play MH and why it is the way it is. Now? The series was in a massive need of modernization and all that shit was clunky, apparently.

Filtrer shill, sonygger, nintendrone, astrosurfing and mhg is bearable again.

How is explaining that the "flexing" animation is a cost of healing your healthbar with a potion that you have to commit and account for arbitrary? It's evidently the truth, you have to time your potions well or you'll die.
They removed that, and I'll leave up to you to imagine the effects that will have on the game. And it's not that it "can't be balanced away", but that it can't without massive changes to various other aspects of the game, none of which were shown to be the case so far, monsters are as slow as ever.

Like I said, in old games, healing is risky. In world, it's way too easy. Not saying that it can't be punished but seems very unlikely.

Sure, people say that monster behaviour has changed to accommodate the heal-while-jogging but that's doesn't seem to be the case and no one here can refute this.

>>180074852

>>180074970
Anything from the first game to XX. Not sure why this question is necessary.

>>180074842
And adding to this, if monsters WERE much faster to account for the potion change, then what the fuck does that mean to all the weapon movesets? They were balanced around the previous speed of monsters and wouldn't work as well anymore. See, one change leads to another, and it's MUCH more likely that they simply dropped the punishment for healing from the game entirely than for them to change the entire pacing of the game around a single animation being removed.

The only thing they said on the potion change by the way is that now you can't run away to the next area to heal anymore, that monsters chase you, but it's not like people bothered to do that unless they were already fighting near an area exit anyway.

>>180074361
of course people use it erroneously but that is because they dont know what bad/mediocre design is. The debate is about what constitutes bad mechanics and why.

>>180075025
Agreed about the going to next area to heal. I've rarely seen people do that unless they're really bad.

I like how this is a new argument that has popped up,saying that people went to next area to heal, sharpen etc.

>>180075024
You have weird definition of risky then.

Anyway you are basing your arguments from ignorance so whatever you say doesn't matter to me anyway.

>>180074842
>how is explaining ... arbitrary
because it isn't just explaining, it's the automatic conclusion that is reached, that it is part and parcel of the game, and also can't or won't be balanced away

it's an incredibly arbitrary conclusion to reach based on speculation alone

everybody already knows what effect flexing has on balance

>none of which were shown
not being able to leave the area was a pretty massive change and was shown

a possibility I was talking about with my friends would be to change monster moves to be less static
ex. rajang's beam isn't straight, or it's wider or something. Or things like the los lunging attack are smarter. Or the damage is higher than the demo

basically, it's not impossible to come up with a balance consideration making the change make sense, but it is impossible to conclude that the change will certainly not be accounted for elsewhere

>>180075264
Will you stop your inane ramblings if capcom announces world for Switch ?

>>180075172

>>180075385
A facet of healing? That is THE main point of healing.

As of right now, healing is a very low risk task in World.

I'm saying anyone with a brain wouldn't care about this meaningless change besides a light chuckle.

That would be a worthy strategy, now that healing incurred damage is basically a free action.

yes, based on the information we have, the risk to heal is lower than previous games if everything stays the same, nobody is really disputing that little guy

>>180075309
Will it have flexing?

>>180075548
But the virals here are saying that everything in the leak was scripted,that's why we didn't see any new monster animations.

And then the virals on youtube are saying that it was dynamic™ every single hunt so you wouldn't get tired of the same cinematic interaction.

Who to believe?

>>180075539
unless of course they change something else

healing incurred damage is nearly free to begin with though, sharpening is the only real problem and previous games casualized the shit out of that without all this complaining

>>180075681
you watch it for yourself and you can tell it's real gameplay if you aren't a fucking autistic reject

>>180075618
But healing is tied to locking you down in place. This, along with limited potion, makes you get good and teaches you timing and positioning.

What does World teach new players?

>>180075618
Healing in the demo was very gradual

Meaning if you get hit by an endgame monster 80% of your health is gone and needs a few seconds to go to full meaning a second hit will kill you in that time.

In terms of flexing this means drink > instant heal > flex > get hit > survive 2. hit

Looks like MHW is harder to me.

That and it actually speeds up the game. No more spamming your buffs and energy drinks in place when the hunt starts. You can keep moving. And even if the game is slightly easier because it, why would that ruin the game? The game is multiplayer by nature- either with palicos or hunters. Healing wasnt hard in the first place.

>3U still not playable on CEMU

How much rath will be in MHW? Will there be a new rath?

>>180076238

things might get better after the 20th, it all depends on what CAPCOM is willing to show us in their demo, and I hope they don't put that dumbass salary man again because he can't play for shit.

>>180077060
Just Normal rath, the rest unlock with Stamps, they cost 200 Paw stamps each, roughy $1.99 US for 24 paw stamps at the Palico Paw'n Shoppe
Or if you buy the season pass they are included

>>180076419
>you can't avoid it with your weapon out
the first games were far more defensive than the newer ones, ESPECIALLY the newest ones

but that said, it's pretty clear they've made changes that look like that to combat, like dashes and shit

What are the changes to the weapons in MHW we've seen so far? Was the HBG machinegunning a hunter art of sorts?

>>180077447
They changed the Gunlance so it's just a gun and shield

>>180077495
this would unironically be accepted by the GL community my dude

were you not around for the popcorn era?

>>180077592
Yeah but they sped up the process of playing gunlance so now it can't attack the monster and the hunter just shoots himself in the head with all the attack buttons

>>180070427
The only true artificial difficulty is RNG.

Flexing would be artificial difficulty if you had a 50% chance to flex every time you drink a point, because the game is randomly deciding whether or not you get to play efficiently. Something like tripping in Brawl is also artificial difficulty, for example, but not being able to move while shielding is not. A platformer game where you have a 2% chance to die every time you jump is artificial difficulty. The game will be difficult to complete, yes, but because you're reliant on rng, not skill.

Flexing as it is now is just a mechanic to make potion use more dedicated, it isn't artificial difficulty any more than the greatsword being slow and cumbersome. The greatsword gives you the benefit of absurd damage at the cost of heavily impeding your mobility. Potions give you the benefit of large amounts of healing at the cost of heavily impeding your mobility. Being able to use potions effectively despite the flex is a skill, therefore flexing isn't artificial difficulty.

And I don't even care about flexing being removed, I don't personally like it but it's a minor complaint and I'm still massively looking forward to World. But calling is artificial difficulty is retarded.

>>180077447

What used to be HA/Styles are now part of combos or special skills, jumping off slopes with the DS makes you do the Aerial Style jump attack, for example.

The first footage I saw of MH was of a gunlance. If it was for that kinda unique weapon I wouldn't have paid attention to the video and never looked up MH.

Even though I never played gunlance at all after starting MH I still keep it in my heart.

>>180077759
except if the exact same difficulty can be achieved without an unrealistic rooting animation, and is within the dev's ultimate vision for the game, it is artificial difficulty because it's only purpose has then become making something artificially difficult

Asked my Japanese fiancé to translate the dengeki interview. MHW isn't MH5. Also the Japanese want MH on Switch more than PS4.

>for the entire series monsters AI was balanced around the base moveset and defensive options of the player
>Adept and brave styles come out and they're completely OP because monsters weren't balanced for them at all and only the very hardest endgame devient shit makes them close to okayish
>for the entire series monsters AI was balanced around the base healing and movement abilities of the player
>complete removal and flexing and any difficulty in healing along with a crazy grappling hook and tons of environmental traps will be fine because they balanced it around this time
Wow these YouTubers sure we knowledgeable about monster hunter, thank goodness we have them to set the record straight

>>180078040
only shitter and casuals do this, people with a little bit of respect for themselves wait for an opening to heal in fight

>>180077947
No.

Flexing is a limitation but one that can be worked around through skill. Therefore it isn't artificial difficulty. A 2% chance to randomly die is a limitation that can't be worked around no matter what, therefore it's artificial difficulty.

That's all there is to it. If the mechanic differentiates skilled and unskilled players then it's real difficulty, not artificial.

>>180078059
so does it say anything about it being MH 5?

>>180078179
By that same logic you could just stand still for 3 seconds after drinking a potion in World.

>>180078179
Nice argument. Why shouldn't they remove healing then? It clearly for shitters and everyone with a bit of respect for themselves wouldn't heal and git gud.

>>180078240
No

>>180078267
yes you're right, good hunters don't get it

>she knows your this autismo
>still gonna marry you
i bet shes ugly or fat

>>180078213
how is that being worked around? you aren't mitigating the effect at all and it takes very little difference in skill to account for a monster's attack?
>randomness is the only form of artificial difficulty

and it's funny too, because randomness can differentiate skilled and unskilled players, you ever hear of any card game ever?

even 2% chance to randomly die would create a new skill set to mitigate that effect, like rushing damage or getting better at running back

>>180078486
You're hyped? That means you're a SHILL!

since nobody answered before, is it worthwhile to replace the nub with a psp one? i feel like mine's getting a bit unresponsive.

Every new MH anon

>>180078486
I just wanna my fav weapons in action.

So why do you guys play Monster Hunter really?
>Because it's fun.
>Because it's difficult and I like some challenge (bragging is optional)
>Because I like the armor designs.
>Because I like to waifufag.
>Because the combat is interesting
>Because I like the monster designs and background fluff
>Because my friends play it too

>>180078692
how about posting pictures of what you're talking about

I remember my psp stick being just as bad if not worse

>>180078815
>>Because my friends play it too
I wish

that said how likely is it that monhun will have crossplay ?

>>180078815
>because i flex everytime i drink a potion showing my true skill to all

>>180078873
I heard sony isn't interested but PC and Xbox hasn't been confirmed.

>>180078815
I've found this game a couple of days ago and it's fun and the combat is interesting. but should i get a 3ds to play 4U or a switch to play 4U and any MH game to come out later? or there won't be any more MH games coming out to the switch?

>>180078815
Because it's fun and I like to meet NEW friends over a good hunt.

>>180079025
>or there won't be any more MH games coming out to the switch?

Thats in the stars.
I guess no one saw a MH game coming for consoles and PC AND coming to the west.

So at this point nothing would surprise me anymore

>monhun TBS for PC

>>180078815
the feel of the game
designs until late have been polished and consistent. The relative simplicity foremost
the challenge is good enough, not too hard, not too easy
armor designs are consistently good, mostly even in the newer games
hasn't compromised on the girls yet
the music, again up until recently and excluding the new game so far
doesn't feel like a jrpg, doesn't feel like a lot of soulless western games do
the story is not important, aka does not detract from the resources of the rest of the game

and something I know is likely gone forever, that the weapons and armor are actually challenging to obtain

>>180078059
>Also the Nintentoddlers want MH on Switch more than PS4.
Fixed. The vast majority of them rejoiced at the sight of MH going back to a real hardware.

>>180079141
>and something I know is likely gone forever, that the weapons and armor are actually challenging to obtain
Keep some slight optimism anon, one thing we don't know about as of now is how equips and crafting works.

>>180079025
to disover the game,i would advise MHP3 then/or MHFU (both on psp) then MHTri (on wii) ot MH3U (on 3ds) then go for whatever you like

>>180079181
this trend has been going on since the first game, and this game is supposed to be appealing to the west

no way in hell

>So why do you guys play Monster Hunter really?
Pretty much everything you listed. I also met most of friends from MH.

>>180079273
Crafting is pretty 'in' in the west if you haven't noticed.

>>180078815
So I can post my ebin screenshots and feel like I belong in a community.

>>180079409
I didn't even know how to take a screenshot on the 3ds. Now it's gonna be easy as fuck to put out some webms.

No they didn't.

They want their MH on Switch.

You're aware Japan is mainly Mobile and handheld right?

>>180080268
because they're likely in whatever ocean there is and the crabs come from there

or they find the fossils in the desert

they're extinct until they put them in the game
