3 days 5 hours and 30 minutes till I can play the game I have been dreaming about for 12 years. Anyone else can't believe its actually coming out , MHU will be a top sellling game in the west right?

PC when?

Autumn

For better or for worse I don't think MH will ever be popular in the west.

Fuck it’s actually coming out in January? I gotta finish something off my backlog immediately.

Also do I need friends to have fun playing this game?

They fucked the hype of the game making the PC release different. A lot of people are waiting for the PC version and by the time that comes out it will be old news.

all the big streamers will play it so it will have exposure

When is the PC beta?

>MHU will be a top sellling game in the west right?
Yes, the entire Call of Duty audience is magically going to switch over to Monster Hunter. Remember, when Capcom guns for mainstream western audiences it ALWAYS works.

>haha, yeah I totally played the previous games guys!
>just not with others, but this one I'm totally playing with others

That game was more along the lines of Itsuno doing Dogma and Capcom wanting to keep going after DMC4 sold well. DMC has done well in the West in both DMC3 and 4

lol? pc players make such a small impact to sales compared to consoles, and thats not even counting all the pirate scum.

I’m hype too fellow hunter

Really hope to see pic related return as a dlc monster

Obviously it helps sales, it just kills the hype.

Isn't he garbage without water fights?
I just want Narga, Tigrex or Rajang desu ;_;

I loved the beta and plan on getting the full game, but this'll be my first Monster Hunter I've ever played through thoroughly. My friend bought me MH: Generations for the 3DS but I never played it. Is 5 days enough to sink my mitts into that game to get a feel for the series?

Absolutely no
Honestly I'd just wait. Also, Generations is WILDLY different from World, mainly because os Styles and arts

Word of mouth will carry this game hard, an actual good AAA game with free updates in this industry will be enough to keep giving this game traction. Expect DLC announcements at every major video game conference for the next 2 years.

Only kills hype for pc players, which again make up such a small percentage of sales. Theres no need for a pc version really.

>Is 5 days enough to sink my mitts into that game to get a feel for the series
You will probably be missing out on a lot. Stuff unlocks through a mix of single story + online and high ranking quests feel a lot different. Maybe if you go hard you can get a general feel but it's probably better to just start with world when it comes out.

I feel you user, multiplayer is going to be pretty hit and miss with the influx of people that never has played a MH title in their lives.
At least I hope the publicity helps them to launch another MH on consoles in the future.

The souls series becoming as popular as it has has paved the way for a not-insignificant amount of people willing to try it/be interested in it because 'it's like dark souls'. I can't wait for the next MH game since after world they'll be able to focus on new monsters/mechanics instead of building the foundation of the game on a new gen.

Thanks, guys. I'll probably just fuck around in Bitterblack Isle until World releases.

And then die off in less than a week.

>Only kills hype for pc players
This isn't some consolewars drama they are literally releasing a better version later so why buy it twice?
>Theres no need for a pc version really
I'd prefer this since everyone I know is getting it on pc instead, even though we all own ps4's as well.

>time limit

nope, game is garbage. why spend time crafting huge detailed maps and then literally yell to the player as soon as you spawn in "YOU ARE TIMED BTW, 15 MINUTES UNTIL YOU'RE KICKED THE FUCK OUT!" stressful as fuck, nobody wants that shit. most people play video games to kick back and relax.

monster hunter fags will defend this somehow, so screencap this post and show it to them a year from now when the servers are turned off due to poor sales just like gravity rush 2.

Looks like an ugly PS3 game. Why can't japs into graphics or at least nice artstyle? All their games are either straight up anime gwafix or brown PS3 tier shit

Aren't you usually given like 50 minutes to kill the Monster?

I know this is bait but i'm curious to how you'll continue this after being told that the timer in the full game is 50 minutes for quests and the short timer was beta only.

and also the full game has free hunt mode

The demos are always dumb and give you smaller time limits while the full game gives you 50 mins and there are even mission types where you have no time limit.
I can't wait for all the bitching of new people over only having 3 carts in the full game.

this. if they cant be bothered to make it look nice then i can't be bothered to throw money at it

thats also why ill never buy soytendo

I have literally been waiting for this game for 14 years

I remember seeing the trailer for the original monster hunter at E3 and I knew it was a day 1 buy for me, and it ended up being one of my favorite games of all time.

Then they started to release all the sequels on handhelds and wii and I wasn’t down with that. I couldn’t go from a nice big tv and an actual controller to that.

Welcome home monster hunter

I wouldn't worry about bitching about 3 carts. Bitching about no visible enemy health bars will reach new heights though.

ARGGHHH ITS GONNA SUCK ANYWAY

the heartbeat sensor is effectively a health bar

>MHU will be a top sellling game in the west right?

>The souls series becoming as popular as it has has paved the way for a not-insignificant amount of people willing to try it/be interested in it because 'it's like dark souls'.
>Dark Soul sales average >4M on all platforms
>MH4 sold 4M+ on 3DS alone
dark souls is a meme

Monster hunter world is not releasing on switch

>thats also why ill never buy soytendo
this is cause you are an insecure fuck that needs external validation rather than just buy a fucing games consoles

I just wish the monsters chased you better. When I want to lure a monster somewhere, I want that monster on my ass rushing me down like in the cinematics. It takes too much effort to make a monster follow you even with the challenger mantle, Capcom pls.

>wojack posters and dumb frogposters have shit taste/are graphics fags
color me surprised

>expecting normalfags to even notice the heartbeat sensor in the first place
Wouldn't be enough for them. They'll want a standard bar that decreases as the monster takes damage. Even if they got health bars the bitching will just shift to "monsters have too much heath! i hit them over and over and their health bar barely goes down!"

>PC version in autumn
>Might have G-Rank at release?
>Free online?
Pain. Just Pain...

why not just double dip

Monsters very often chased me over huge distances. They just don't always fall for your shit if you don't give them a reason to.

>Paying for online
>For one game

>he seriously cares about such a small sum of money

How’s life buddy?

user you have the option, either take it or dont, just quit your bitching.

fucking huge PC is forced double dip

Generations is cancer.

Ready for all the salty comments from the PCbroolds and Nintencrybabies in 3 days.

Wouldn't be hard to just emulate the previous games to get a taste and then you can technically say you played them

>only 16 gigs
>to casual
>they could have made more money on the switch!
>they ruined it and its to easy!
>no monsters! my *monster here* is not in the game its shit!
>everything looks bad! fuck you!.

nope, will be too busy actually playing the game to notice

>EB games is actually open on release day down here
Its a good kind of feel

play asia is cheaper, sempai-can

>Review embargoed
>Implying it'll be good

I dont trust delivery on release after hearing shit about amazon.

someone post the sonybro argument image

I cant not wait for hte massive Damage Control if this fails to even reach 4M

Hunts on release are going to be 50 minutes, and if you beat the monster you can stay in the area and gather materials.

>tfw buying digital
Bittersweet really. I prefer physical copies but this way my brother can play too and we get to start at midnight.

someone couldn't kill nerg lmao

So last month I played the lost planet series. 1 was alright and 2 was FUN AS FUCK but 3 kind of missed the mark. I was thinking, what if after monster hunter comes out and it isn't crunch time anymore for the team, if they went back and started developing a new lost planet title. I imagine the new engine that mhw runs on could be easily adapted to this world too. Solid mechanics for mounting, slingshot/grapple hook, 3rd person shooting etc would be already built in.

If I buy digital and play on a friends PS4 but while on my account, will I be able to transfer progress to a different PS4 but on the same account?

>implying you could trust a reviewer to play monster hunter

LP2 is a wildly underrated game. Everyone should give it a go with pals at some point, it's genuinely fantastic.

the sandworm vs train cannon may be the best co-op video game experience ever

I miss bullying Nergi.

>implying that anyone had a big TV when the first MH came out.

Shitposting aside
>15 minute time limit
>enemy has moves that down or dizzy you for 10+ seconds at a time with huge range, and most moves don't allow for fast guard or dodge canceling
>enemy can also run away multiple times during a fight
>but enemy can be cheesed with ranged weapons and anally raped while stunlocked
Will the actual game be balanced better or does Capcom balance their MH games as well as they balance their fighting games? It's just shitty game design.

Once the game releases, what bad boy will you main (or play the most)? Pic related for me

You do realize the short time limit is a demo-only thing, right?

Hammer number wan

hopefully never

It's so close, anons... How many of you waited for it to be on the big screen shinny and new?
How many Anons died waiting for what we will be getting in 3 days? How many anons?!

I used to watch that guys podcast a few years ago, he's not lying.

>>enemy has moves that down or dizzy you for 10+ seconds at a time with huge range, and most moves don't allow for fast guard or dodge canceling
Learn the fights better, 99% of the time when people say "I couldnt have dodged the follow up hit after I got knocked down" its because they rolled the wrong way.

I don't see why not, just make sure you enable uploading your saves to the psn cloud on your friend's ps4

They're variety streamers so obviously.
If you are talking about the game in general then I don't think so, every MH game has maintained a solid community for years, even barebones ones like Tri.

is there like a stretched 720p option so I can get fucking stable frames?
only thing stopping me from double dipping

Nah, perfectly possible to be a solohunter. Especially in this game where the distinction between village and guild quests is no more- monsters now only have buffed health/damage if you go after them with other people, and not just because the quest itself is tagged a multiplayer.

Thanks user. Relatively new to PS4 so I figured I'd ask.

That doesn't answer the question at all. The time being low and the fight being like that aren't the only thing I'm worried about, I'm asking if Capcom can actually balance a game properly (unlike their other games I've played) or if the final game will likely have a whole host of other bad design choices that people tote up as "features". The level designs and weapons as well as how much you can interact with the environment are nice, but if all late game meta is "Spam one type of status effect/stun move and always use this equipment" then I'm not going to play it.

>Flops on top of you before you can even roll after coming out of the dizzy
Which way was I supposed to roll? The only thing I heard in the threads was that the only way to dodge is to literally just stay downed and abuse i-frames while you're on the ground.

>just an ugly dark souls rip off
>with time limits and extra clunk
I dont understand it. Think I'm gonna pass on this one, folks.
I've already got the real Dark Souls.

GS, DB, and hammer to start with but I want to get good with all of them.

So don't buy it. We don't care.

>Will the game have shit balancing or is the late game stuff done well?
>The time limits are longer
>That's not what I'm asking, can they balance everything else or will it be shitty like their other games' metas
>Whatever, don't buy it
That's a good answer.

>Flops on top of you before you can even roll after coming out of the dizzy

When that happens youre completely fucked and you better hope to god your armor was good enough and health was high enough. Shit happens, oh well. Better luck on the next hunt!

Wew

good enough and health was high enough to survive until he gets off of you* whoops.

>sometimes the AI will just fuck your face while also eating up your timer
>shit happens
So I guess that's a not to my question.

The bow looks super sick, being able to dash around and then scrape a big fuckin arrow along the ground, knock it, light the rockets on it, loose it, and then watch it explode on the mons cock and balls looks fuckin fun

wow, a webm of an immobilized monster.

So interesting and epic.

>eating up your timer
user the hunts will be 50 minutes long. If you seriously spent 30 minutes getting facefucked and another 20 fighting him thats more than enough time to beat the hunt, besides its similar to how you must manage your time in real life anyways so it shouldnt be that much of a problem.

SA when solo hunting and HH when playing with others. Looking to dip into Bow or HBG

Apparently only you. And now kill yourself.

LBG for ranged because reverse minesweeper is fun as fuck, and either GL, GS, SA or IG for melee because they're all fun for various reasons. I cant choose between the four for my melee main though is the problem.

It's not abusing iframes it's a game mechanic just like the superman dive which gives you a lot of iframes at the cost of a slower recovery. Just don't mash to wakeup. I found breaking his spikes before they turned black to be more annoying.

How many times do I have to say "I understand the timer will be longer in the full game, but what about other balancing issues outside of this specific example I'm giving What about late game balancing?" before I get an actual answer to the question? Is reading not your thing, because that's the impression I'm getting.
