Switch purchase JUSTIFIED.

I do hope they make some kinda app to transfer my save data, though, because the grind in MHX is somehow even more brutal because of how Deviant Monsters work.

Does the thing you don't like have 2001 era game design and graphics, loading zones every 50 feet, and tedious grinding and s bunch of obtuse systems?

Obtuse isn't exactly a word I'd use to describe monster hunter. You need parts? kill the thing that drops those parts.

I'm just saying, the only reason anyone in America cares about Monster Hunter is so they can brag about an exclusive for console wars reasons. The only reason anyone cares about Monster Hunter in Japan is that their brains are fundamentally broken and they enjoy repetitive tedious grinding.

There are better games for exclusive bragging and for repetitive tedious grinding (seriously, Disgaea just came out) so nope

Have you considered that people who like monster hunter care about it?

I mean, Monster Hunter 4 sold more than a million units in the west. It's not a mainstream success but that's still a sizable playerbase.

I'm sure Capcom will try to reinvent Monster Hunter at some point and end up ruining another of their moneymakers.

On 4chan, a user leaked the name of Monster Hunter XX before the official announcement. In the post, it was also stated that Monster Hunter would be split into Monster Hunter 5 for the PS4 and Monster Hunter Portable for the Switch. MH5 on PS4 would be a streamlined game that would take after open world WRPGs. I can see Capcom try to chase the mass market with one of their last remaining breadwinners.

So you're probably right.

I know this is going to be very difficult for you to understand, but:
Monster Hunter (3 Ulimate and the ones after it) is, by a great margin, the most satisfying action game I have ever played. I don't give a poo poo about console exclusivity. If Monster Hunter 5 is a PS4 game, I will buy a loving PS4.

With HD rumble, you can feel it when your short sword pops that eyeball like a grape!

You'll have to hope that the renewed interest from the PS4/Xbone ports is enough to green light a sequel

Or that they localise DDO :unsmigghh:

I played one on PSP back in 2006 and wasn't really swept up in it. It's just not my bag, I'm not crazy about grindfest loot drops.

It's why I stopped playing Destiny after two months.

I hate to tell you guys this (Honestly) but you will be getting the generations port (Another port) of an already existing game, and MH5 will be a PS4 exclusive announced at E3.

Edit: Oops late to the party here. Sorry. I think it sucks that MH5 wouldn't be on the Switch, however I can definitely see Capcom's reasoning.

Sucks though for people who have a switch and wanted to play a NEW Monster Hunter. Not just another port of a game we have already played to death (If you are a Monster hunter fan, you have already played all these)

There's no reason to believe MH5 for the PS4 is even a thing. The rumor for it showing up on PS4 always exists for every MH since 3 and nothing ever comes from it beyond "awesome inside sources".
