God fucking dammit Capcom.
In order to get all of these you have to have already had a PS4, get the Digital Deluxe Edition which is non-refundable, AND buy the PS4 bundle.

They already said all the extra shit will go on sale after the game launches except for the special avatars.

whats truly fucked is that this is only available at gamestop, and apparently online only.

>Pre-ordered the digital deluxe through PSN last week
>Gf surprised me by paying off the Rathalos Edition PS4 Pro, so she can take my basic
>guess I'll just sell the physical copy it comes with
Hey man, all of those bonuses aren't life changing. I wouldn't worry about it much.

Will the controller ever be sold separately?

yes, they showed a controller in its own packaging in a stream a while back, not sure if its already available or not

all of that stuff is garbage, good to know

I can save my money and buy a standard copy of the game

It kind of makes me sad that you're upset about preorder digital deluxe fuckery being different between versions instead of just being upset about the entire concept of preorder digital deluxe fuckery in general

holy fuck i need that dynamic theme
please god tell me it will be sold seperately

is MHW gonna be a microtransation game?

fucking dont remind me, i missed the gamesotp sell and now its sold out being scalped at 800$ on ebay

It's going to have cosmetic microtransactions.

Please tell me this is bullshit

The preorder bonuses in the deluxe edition are essentially cosmetic and they've talked about being able to buy a replacement for the Handler. At this point it's looking like outfits like the samurai armor in the deluxe edition which are basically skins that go over whatever armor you may be wearing.

>monsters, armors, weapons are free
>but special snowflake skins that have no armor skills aren't
I don't see what the big deal is since the only stuff that matters is free.

Bit late to announce this isn't it? The game comes out in a few days, everyone already has their PS4 Pro ready

>Managed to get an order in
>Got a confirmation email and everything
Crossing my fingers

Yeah honestly if Capcom keeps the microtransactions to this kind of model and keep pumping out free DLC that actually matters I don't see a problem. I would unironically buy an old sound DLC pack and probably replace Handler myself.

Skins matter. People wouldn't spend millions of dollars a year buying cosmetic items if they didn't matter. That shit should be part of the game, not exclusive to wallet warriors

welcome to capitalism

same here bro

We're gonna make it

I've yet to play a game where cash shop skins don't look like complete trash, or totally out of place in-game.

plus, lifes not fair, get over it

I agree but this is Capcom we're talking about here and if they are using cosmetic microtransactions as a method to make extra money and that is enough to sate them so they don't decide to fuck over consumers in one of many other ways I really don't have a problem with it.

"It's only cosmetics!" is the excuse that gets everyone used to microtransactions, then before long the game is full on battlefront 2/destiny 2, where it's affecting gameplay. We've seen this play out so many times and people keep falling for it.

Also, fashion is a powerful reward and motivator. It shouldn't be treated as something that "doesn't matter" so it's ok if they nickel and dime for it.

I'm no longer purchasing the game after this. Every single PS4 bundle has always had a meme game attached to it. See GTA V and Battlefront II. If it needs to be bundled to sell well, it's a meme game.

I agree which is why I'm fine if they keep it just to this. In the current environment of gaming today there is so much worse. The new Arcsys game's DLC roster for example.

Time sensitive garbage is still garbage user, don't fall for the collector edition jew when it isn't something physical you can smile at for years later

All of the digital deluxe content will be available through a DLC pack releasing on the same day as well sans that one avatar

lots of MHs have had special consoles bundled with them, are you saying MH is not a series with very good games in it?

I NEED THE THEME I NEED THE THEME I NEED THE THEME I NEED THE THEME I NEED THE THEME

That Rathalos theme is gorgeous.

>if they keep it just to this
there's no way it'll stop here. Absolutely 0% chance. Even nintendo are making games where you buy ingame currency with cash now.

Never buy into the preorder/store/platform/deluxe exclusive content scam

Make fun of anyone who does

>if they keep it just to this
That's how it always starts. I remember when FFXIV introduced its cash shop and strictly only sold old holiday when the holiday rolled around again. Took years for them to add more than a couple things to the shop.

Then it fucking took off and half the cool shit added to the game is in there. Some people might say its a slippery slope fallacy but I've been down that slope before and its pretty fucking slippery ride right off a cliff.

I'd frankly be more surprised if it never changed.

A month ago you were all saying this game was a pile of shit

Well they've only talked about it but haven't actually dropped any microtransactions yet, just the preorder and digital deluxe bonuses, so we'll have to see what happens after release.

>Mfw my gf doesn’t play vidja but enjoyed watching me play the beta because of the Palico

You would only have a point if they were hidden behind lootboxes.

I still havent have time to participate in betas but I'm trying this weekend. Is it hard to beat all three missions? How long?

If you've played the previous games you shouldn't have much of a problem with the beta monsters since you're given decent gear to start with. Rath is still a raging asshole and Blos can almost one-shot you in rage mode.

Havent played earlier games. Well Im going to try this one out, kind a want some new game and am somewhat interested in this.

The first two missions are ludicrously easy and the third is mostly annoying if Anjanath runs off too often since you have a twenty minute time limit. There will be a fourth mission with the new flagship monster Nergigante which should be more challenging. Meanwhile there are two more difficult monsters in each of the two stages you can find and fight if you'd like another challenge.

PC preorders fucking when?

>MH is now an early access game with microtransactions
Thanks, Capcom.

the first 3 missions are easy, but you likely will get stomped by the 4th since you are a newfriend, its tuned for vets

>announce game in the US but not the PS4 SE
>bought my PS4 and pre-ordered the game on Black Friday
>this week happens
>announce the PS4 SE a week before release
I just got styled on.
