Funnily, that's exactly what they did with World and it actually paid off. They got the casual audience. They let MH become a phenomenon.

And then they tried to go for the Candy Crush mom audience for some reason. What were they thinking?

Man the west is really pathetic. Worst part is it works.

They're in addition to a normal main character that's the same like other MH games.

Those girls are just hot waifus you can paypig for and goon to while they findom you.

These are npc hunters iirc

>>725848913
I will buy your game

I don't wanna play Outlanders, but I hope it's successful so we can get nice outfits and attractive characters in mainline.

>>725848614
What exactly did Wilds do wrong to fuck up the momentum? Wasn't it supposed to be World 2 in a sense? I didn't touch it since the beta, which I did not invest much time into, so I'm surprised it fucked up, when World was such a monumental success.

Positioning being non-existant
Offset, offset, offset, counter, counter, counter

>>725850925
Game spams you with rewards so there's no grind or sense of achievement
You can press directional pad up and your bird will autowalk you towards the moment so you don't explore anything
Runs like unholy shit, worse optimized game in existence right now
Combat dumbed down to spamming the same OP moves perfect guard/dodge or offset attacks to deal with every single attack so you don't have to learn monsters

It's like a slot machine equivalent of monster hunter with zero of the usual dopamine of gambling

>>725850925
Ironically I think it's because of wilds having less dripfeeding and timed events than world.

>>725851796
Utterly embarassing

>>725848614
World literally got saved by streamers and other faggots years after it released.

>>725852197
What a colossal lie, it was already the best selling MH 1 year after its release.

>>725852381
Yes, it was the “best selling” in an extremely niche franchise, retard. It wan’t until the streamer boom years after World came out that it massively extended its reach to a wider normalfag audience.

how bad will the backlash be if the december patch doesn't fix performance like they promised?

>>725852568
Didn't Wilds get even more streamer support?
>>725852465
Removing grinding was a weird approach.

>>725852780
>Didn't Wilds get even more streamer support?
Yeah but this time it was all inorganic and paid for by Capcom and everyone can smell that from a mile away, plus the nanosecond their contracts ran out they dropped the game

Even the biggest longterm shills that were defending Wilds because they wanted to stay on Capcom's good side ended up ditching the game and started badmouthing it.

>>725850925
Besides all the story BS. When the game released there was nothing.
>Removed grind
>Armour and weapons are easier than ever to obtain
>Monsters dropped dead in less than 2 minutes
>The final boss straight up didn't exist in high rank
>Didn't have armour or weapons
>Didn't even have drops
>Only thing ti do is the retarded artian grind
I don't keep up with it anymore, because I don't have it but more importantly the first impression was so dogshit I lost all interest.

>>725848614
It worked once, why wouldn't it work twice?

>>725852764
probably not that bad, i mean the people still playing are already the bottom of the barrel without standards or taste, the rest moved on

This is a great deal, I'm sure it will help drive sales for the new budget PS5 console that doesn't have a disk drive

>>725847616
Did you not watch the State of Play, Sony is selling PS5s for $350 there, following Nintendo with a cheaper system that can removes foreign language support.

I almost hope this collab deal was signed when Capcom was still going ultra hard on Wilds shilling and it'll be filled with utter dogshit cards nobody wants like Nata and Wyvern Milk

IP slops need to die faster

>>725850925
It’s focus mode

It’s not performance. It’s not the story being walk and top slop.

It’s focus mode. Focus mode is why wilds cannot be saved. Note I am not even talking about my personal preference.

>>725852568
>extremely niche
Monster hunter was not niche prior to world. It had like 15 fucking games and tens of millions of sales across all the games.

>>725857926
It was for sure still fairly niche in the west, even after 4U's popularity. Not unheard of, but on the level of something like Legend of Heroes at the time.

>>725847616
Why would I bother playing this when I already know an expansion will come out in the future? Decades of following the same formula.

>>725858337
>Why would I bother playing this when I already know an expansion will come out in the future?
Why would you bother looking forward to an expansion for an unsalvageable game?

>>725852523
Eat shit

>>725858337
shame it'll still not worth it most likely, a lot of the games faults are core issues that are pretty much impossible to fix.

>>725857383
Can you believe people still call wilds combat clunky when you can fucking 180 an SAED of all things?

Japan has long since ceased being relevant to the success of most games. You can automatically remove japanese influence mattering if your game isn't on phones or switch.

I played 70 hours of Rise in the lead up to Wilds.
Then I played 35 hours of Wilds and went back to Rise for another 70 hours.
I'm glad it got me to play Rise finally. There just wasn't enough Monster Hunter in it. After 35 hours I had hunted everything once and had the best armor in the game. There was nothing to do on top of it running like shit my entire playthrough. I didn't even use my main weapon, I used a weapon I'd never used before and I still breezed through it.

>>725861472
And Capcom is in total confusion over this, asking "Why?! Wilds had more of the stuff that audience loved! WHY THEY ABANDONED US?!"

>>725847616
It's not that good of a game

>>725860358
I'd love to but the combat is too braindead in both 1 and 2
my last hope (cope) is higher difficulty in 3 since they realized the demographic for the games only went up in age

Sorry anon but I can't think a way to make the game more difficult without bullshit methords (HP sponge bosses, unblockable AOE attacks, one hit KOs moves) without changing the gameplay from turn based to classic MH gameplay and by that point just make a normal MH game...with this artstyle.

>>725862858
He really did lol. Gameplay-wise Wilds has been fixed since TU2. Omega was a better hunt than everything in Iceborne save Fatalis and savage provided better base game difficulty than anything since 4th gen. The only issues left are the optimization and the visuals.

>>725862949

I stopped playing the second they said they removed flexing and every single shill said it was a good thing and they hated flexing, when not only a month before that, every video put out by these fuckers said how they liked how healing was a commitment and that flexing was funny and quirky.

>>725850925
there is a limit to how much you can dumb down things before they become shit

Flexing is a gay clUNCsic meme. Only serves as artificial difficulty which kills immersion and pisses you off.
