I WON THE BETTING POOL ON TESSAS THIRD STUPID VOTE AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS HALF-ASSED TITLE

MH for PC, I can't believe it. I'm excited.

The question is, how long will the delay be. I really would prefer to play it on my PC but if its like a 6 month wait, then the choice is basically made for me.

Missed the conference live and came to see people's unbridled joy after catching the archive only to discover folks are actually angry. Angry about things that don't even make sense, like zones not being divided (when clearly the swimming bits and vines you have to push aside are used to divide zones) and rapid fire bowguns (that already exist ingame with Rapid Heaven).

Monhun fans are insane and I'm kind of glad I only got into it recently/never play with people that are not my friends.

For me it's kind of a lack of faith in Capcom's ability to make more than minor alterations to a game I love so much, without loving it up.

Uh, that said, if it swings more toward the Dragon's Dogma end of things, it'll probably be fine. I'm sure I'll play the PC version, almost regardless.

As much as I enjoy Toukiden, I don't want this to end up being a Toukiden clone, where you just have to walk out to the monster arena out in the open world for story mode, and then all the desk missions just teleport you there. The open world in Toukiden just ends up being a huge time sink where you sprint past all enemies until you reach the objective, unless you're picking away at side quests.

I straight up don't trust Capcom outside of Monster Hunter and don't want them to mess this up as well.

Dragon's Dogma is the only Capcom thing I've liked in 10 years and the fact they've done nothing with that just makes me not care about the company. If that's what world is then I'll play that and I hope everyone else gets their XX Switch port.

I don't have a PS4 or an Xbone so this is great news also I could never convince people to get a switch or DS to play the other series. It's a huge step forward for me and I hope they stop doing these Nintendo exclusives.

That's good then. But with all the talk about this being tailored for western audiences I don't think it was invalid to be concerned.

It was pretty much exactly the same as every monster hunter trailer ever yet people are losing their goddamned minds because it's on platforms that can support resolutions greater than 240 pixels.

It's more that every game Capcom has tried to tailor to western audiences has imploded so bad it takes entire, previously good, franchises with it. Capcom has a habit of sacrificing golden geese in pursuit of a huge western white whale

As long as we get Switch XX in the West I'm fine with whatever they want to try in MHW. From the Twitter info, it sounds like the fundamentals are in, in terms of system mechanics. I just hope the combat retains the classic, weighty feel and isn't a DmC/God of War style brawler.

And honestly, if they don't localize XX I'll just eShop it and learn Japanese I guess.

If Capcom is ballsy enough for a worldwide release of MHW, it'd be a baffling move to not localize MHXX.

Agreed. Though the marketing thing that was sent around w/ MHW details said "first MH to be released simultaneously worldwide" so I guess that means we're not getting XX at the same time as Japan?

XX has been out in Japan since March, with the Switch version coming out in August. I suspect we'll get it either winter 2017, or early spring 2018.

That's borderline unacceptable to me, given the release window for World. Unless Monster Hunter World turns out to be like a completely shallow experience, like I'm not gonna be able to concentrate on 2 MonHuns at the same time.

Well, I meant simultaneous release for XX on Switch only.
I really hope it's not 2018 since they've had plenty of time to finish the translation but Capcom is dumb so idk.

Didn't see the news until this morning, but holy poo poo I'm hyped as hell!

Seeing a lot of reactions here similar to the MH4 trailer. When people were initially speculating it would be open world. Worried about a drastic change to the game given all the action shots in the trailer similar to this one.

I agree not every game should be open world BoTW-esque but from what I've seen there is still zones in the traditional sense. You just swim/swing/climb to the new ones as you track the monster. And I like mobile the hunter is because if there's one thing BoTW got extremely right it's how easy it was the transverse the terrain.

Stealth is cool, but won't be terribly useful outside of getting a surprise jumping attack like in the trailer. There's no reason to stealth the smaller monsters but it will be fun to mess around with. But holy poo poo the monsters now actually hunt each other! That's something I've been wanting for a while now. And it looks like mounts are now like Dragons Dogma which is extremely my poo poo.

My only concern is the combat getting more action oriented. I think it's inevitable that they'll have to change it up slightly to fit this more open world system where you are swinging everywhere. Them already confirming all weapon types is very relieving though.

All I really want from Monster Hunter is for them to cram as much content into one game playable on a TV and it sounds like XX is going to do that. If they wanna try something a little different with World that's cool by me too

There was a blog post by the guy who worked on localizing MH4U, tl;dr there is A LOT of text that needs to be translated, proofread, and inserted correctly in the game.
