Monster Hunter World Appreciation Thread

I think a lot of people are looking at Monster Hunter World without really having much experience with it since it's heavily a nintendo franchise, however this is a rather big announcement if you are well informed about the series.

It's not a game that prides itself on visuals (though it's a healthy boost from what the series usually does on it's recent 3ds titles), it makes up for that with intense and rather lengthy fights which you can tackle with a group of friends. The gameplay showed 1 v 1 (player vs ai boss) but it's usually built around fighting bosses as a group with other human players and it's one of the the better games to play with friends if you personally ask me and that's based on the 3ds monster hunter. (not expecting anything too crazy except the grappling hook is clearly pretty cool and the maps are actually pretty elaborate)

How the hell did that dinosaur not see him and that giant ass sword though? He isn't THAT big where it'd seem reasonable, are dinosaurs like that (what it's based on) hard of seeing or something? I'm no dino expert.

Early 2018 is pretty stacked though and I'll be getting this alongside at least Yakuza 6 (cuz I have an unhealthy but well deserved obsession with the Yakuza series)

Praise this game, praise the series in general (ones on nintendo), and be happy that this series/genre is getting some new blood both in a new game and a new player base to keep the genre alive and thriving.

PS4 and Xbox One. Cool to see them giving the MH fanbase on Nintendo the middle finger. It isn't like Capcom hasn't done that before, though. Give us a Switch version, you fucks! It's not like we're happy with a 3DS port.

Edit: Hey, there will be a PC version! Never mind then, I'm cool. Still sad for those Ninty fans without PCs though..

@putaspongeon: Well it seems Capcom are learning from the lessons of making games exclusive to one console cough SF5 cough. I liked what I saw and will get it day one on my Xbox.

@metalslimenite: I had no idea. Spinoff? Looks like regular Monster Hunter with more movement options.

+1

Can't wait to play it on PC.

I see. Hopefully that doesn't mean it'll be worse. I personally don't need it casualized as I have no problems with the series as is.

This game LOOKS like the most ambitious MH game ever made, and it's not being made by the main MH team? Sounds weird. A Monster Hunter on PC is a bit of a dream come true, though, so I really hope it'll be good.

SF5 was just not a full game, that was it's issue.

I don't like when issues are seen differently than they really are, tad annoying. It's like when the ghost in the shell person actually backpedaled and said he was wrong to make the main character white when she was white but it was really just bullshit reviewers that hurt it who didn't know the source material.

Or like blaming race on iron fist

this is a spinoff.

it is not a real monster hunter game.

that is why it is not called monster hunter 5.

need to see more gameplay but it looked like there are stealth sections...ugh..

I thought it was just to show us we're able to sneak past monsters if we don't want to fight them. I hope they don't force it on us..

Pretty stoked to see it come onto PC as well.

Looks horrible.

This looks great! Yep, definitely on my watch list. :)

You live on a far away planet don't you lol.

If you don't live on Earth, maybe.

SF5 was bagged on cuz it had no content on launch, which ruined it's reputation. It's nearly impossible to recover from something like that.

Hmm..still don't get why people are saying this is not Monster Hunter game...it looks exactly like the previous Monster Hunter games trailer promotion for Nintendo..with lesser visual quality on Nintendo system of course...I'll wait for the gameplay stuff to be shown before judging it as toned down for the West...looks like a Monster Hunter game to me..with better visual (as it should on big screen play). :P

I love Monster Hunter but there is something fishy about this game; Well i have to wait for more trailers.

i will have to see more. are they sacrificing tight game mechanics for flair in order to attract more people in the west? is co-op going to be behind a paywall? it looks great and certainly has my attention. i will be getting the PC version if i do get it....which i probably will because i have been dying for a new monster hunter game for the telly for a long long time.

@putaspongeon: Coolyfett was impressed to see PlayStation & Xbox were able to get this from Nintendo. Coolyfett played a lot of this game on the PSP back in 2008-2011. Looks like this game will be just as fun. Surprised Nintendo did not get a copy being that they had the last 4 or 5 games in the series.

I hope this one's like the main line MH where you can coop up to 4 players.

It looked good. I loved Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii. Hopefully this will be along those lines. It's great that it is coming to PC.

I'm excited for it

So glad this is coming to PC. I knew Capcom would be stupid to not bring it to PC.

since capcom also made dragon's dogma, this is the best E3 news I've heard so far, I just hope there is co op.

Of all the games shown, this is the one i'm most excited about. No more outdated graphics... finally.

First real surprise of e3 .... I was shocked when I first saw trailer. Happy about PC edition. Looks good and cant wait to play.

I'm very excited but I feel like the reception has been rather lukewarm. Capcom may have made the right move years ago by switching to Nintendo. Gamers nowadays don't want good games imo.

All I have to say is FINALLY, holy shit we finally get a Monster Hunter that actually improves it's graphics, animations and combat.

So glorious

Multiplatform for the win. Multiplatform is the future.

This is definitely on my watch list. At first I did not recognize the game then I saw the character gathering stuff and I yelled "that's f-n monster hunter" despite not playing a MH game since ps2.

Here is an interview with gameplay. Monster Hunter started on the PS2.

The more I hear about this the more concern I have.

No cross-platform play confirmed. 1st time the player base has been split since I've been hunting.

QTE during hunts.

I'm worried about DLC not being free anymore.

No ledges... only cliffs.

But the open zone map and drop in look like nice features. No more superman flex on pots is a welcome change too.

I'm a hunter, so I'll be there. I am just growing more concerned about the series changes.

Capcom says that Monster Hunter World is basically Monster Hunter 5.

Too bad this isn't coming later this game. I would've liked playing the hell out of it this Fall.

Looks decent enough for what they showed (which wasn't enough so hopefully they have more soon). I'm interested but the "PC at a later date" thing irks me and not even a real MH game. Monster Hunter 5 will be surely on the Switch exclusive.

@davillain-: Doesn't appear so. Capcoms stance is that this is MH5 atm. They also said they currently have nothing to announce for Switch. This may even kill MH XX western localization all together.

Seems like Caps relationship with Nintendo has deteriorated as of late.

No mega man, no duck tales, no western mhxx, no mh5/mhw. But a $40 port of sf2.

@enzyme36: Capcom would be fools to not even release a single MH game for Switch when it's still hot on the market but then again, at least I'll give'em credit for bringing MH on PC, so credit were it's due.

@davillain-: I agree completely. Especially considering they already have the port, just need the translation.

I would be bursting throught walls to get a release on Switch while the pickings are limited... before Nintendo starts dropping bombs.

Capcom has no plans to localize MHXX.

Is there any Ninty fan without a PC in 2017 ? Even Ninty fans having Ninty consoles as secondary platforms to game on so i doubt there are plenty without other platform than Switch to play this to be honest.

Games looks ok , ill try it personally.

Thought so..the previous post sounded sus...why would Capcom release a lesser title on more platforms?...well Nintendo got the short end on this one. :P

A gameplay presentation of this game has been leaked. It can be dark though.

Never saw the attraction in this or any clone. It's just not what I'm after.

Oh wow are we at a point where people forgot MH got huge on PSP?

Anyways, I'm not terribly excited, I never was that into MH and its derivatives, but it's good for people who wanted it.

I wish this had towns where you could see dozens of others players and be able to form groups like that. On Nintendo, this is the thing that i felt like was missing the most.
