Monster Hunter 4: Ultimate Super Coma Edition

THE GOOD

  • Tight, idiosyncratic combat remains beyond comparison
  • Hundreds of hours of worthwhile content
  • Riddled with deep systems to wrap your head around
  • 14 different weapon types each represent remarkably different ways to play
  • Expedition mode is great way of testing your skills without the preparation of a hunt
  • Streamlined multiplayer

THE BAD

  • No built in voice chat for online play, despite hardware support
  • Despite improved tutorials, there's still a steep learning curve for newcomers
  • Right now there exists no other way to play this game other than playing it on a shitty 3DS

Something something gamespot 9/10, a whole 2 points higher than Dying Light, one point higher The Last of Us and the 2014 Gamespot GOTY Shadow of Mordor, 3 points higher than 12 Years a Slave The Video Game aka Destiny, and 8 points higher than overhyped PC mustardpiece Raven's Cry.

I think that was pretty good effort on my point. Blab never posted handheld threads this well. Good job Champ. Thanks Champ.

If only this was on WiiU.

I played the last one on 3DS, and the controls were not cool.

That's pretty surprising. I thought it would get an 8 at best.

Monster Hunter is a shitty series perpetually brought down by garbage controls and a lack of a proper lock on.

Monster Hunter has always been a big deal, especially in Japan. Prior to the official localised release, a lot of people were already importing the JPN version.

I wish the map would be whole instead of segregated pieces with load times in between. There's so many issues they could streamline but they've refused to change them for years.

I got curious.

Since the 3DS launch in 2011, the 3DS has only seen 3 9/10 scores at Gamespot.

Just 3.

  1. A Link Between Worlds
  2. Majora's Mask
  3. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

@Bread_or_Decide: Exactly. The reviewer's 500 hours of game time was probably 200 hours of loading at least

200 hours of googling what armor to wear, how to fight certain monsters, and wrestling with those piss poor ancient controls. 300 hours of putting up with all that because it's addictive.

There is no WiiU version of Monster Hunter 4.

What ever version was available for a demo on the WiiU. I cant imagine the core gaming changing so much to make a difference to me.

I love the attitude towards Nintendo in System Wars

Before the 3DS had any AAAE's "There were no good games."
Now there are AAAE's "Those don't interest me."

The ever moving goal post and trying to keep Nintendo down. Gotta love it.

The 3DS gets two AAAEs within a month? Madness!

I wonder if Gamespot will review Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacies + since they never bothered reviewing the original when it came out in 2011.

I'm new to it too. I am still figuring it out and I got it a couple months ago. I'm afraid I'm not hardcore enough for Monster Hunter.

lol its not that bad, but it would be nice to get better list of parts needed to make certain armors and weapons. I ended up having to go online to find out what parts I needed from what monsters to make armor.

Dont care if you do or not, but its a comment over the game in general and by golly I can express my opinion on it.
