Is Monster Hunter doomed?
>>729103712No it’s just due to contract its audience a bit. They bounced off the ceiling of what chasing broad appeal can manage.
>>729103712>Is Monster Hunter doomed?Maybe.
>>729103712All depend on next ichinose's game
>>729103712Monster Hunter: SUNRISE for switch2 announced soon. They have to get the money for the milds expansion
As long as that spiritual nigger Ryozo is in charge of the franchise, yes.
>>729103712Only if Capcom still doesn't realize aiming for mass appeal beyond this point is a mistake. Also if they still fail to realize they suck at story telling and peaked at 4U's plot which was super fucking simple despite being the best story.
>>729104006missing pubes, stretch marks and a pregnant belly
>>7291037122 more weeks bro, milds is dead and it will get no G-rank! next game will be switch 2 only
>>729103712No, but if they make another misguided one then maybe. They need to return to the more hardcore audience. I say "more" hardcore because MH has never been a truly hardcore series, especially if you just do low rank, but it NEEDS to provide more friction and require more of the player than Wilds does. Also performance yadda yadda, insane how badly Wilds runs.
>>729103712It's cursed for sure cause they have a big fanbase now but with people having different ideas of what MH is supposed to be depending on the game they started with. As long as they understand the playerbase peaked already and focus on actual creating a game and not some story driven shitty pseudo realistic simulation the franchise should be fine.
>>729103712No, just wait for the "portable" team and they'll make another good game to play for 6-8 years while we wait for the next mediocre at best "mainline" game to go through the motions again.
Most of the problems are fixable in MR but I wouldn't bet on it.
>>729103712Stories 3 + MH portable 6 will bring the series backWilds was just a fluke
>>729106857The DLC will be another 20 hours of jeet plotlines and slow walking sections because that's what "sold the game"
>make fuckhuge maps that are dogshit to play on>spawn in 5+ monsters at once so you can stay out on the field and hunt for hours on end>to do that every single thing on the map is fully loaded in at all times which tanks performance>all for 99.9% of players to go back to camp after every questWhat the absolute fuck were these retards thinking? The game is rotten to the core.
>>729107664I think removing the hard village/hunting ground split and the old quest system was one of the biggest mistakes Wilds made
>>729107664The modern audience fears the 3 second loading screens.
>>729104842Wilds is now the hardest base game by a country mile>n-no I don’t mean actual hardcore I just mean slightly harder the first time you fight a monster only
>>729107963Not having optional quests is the stupidest shit.
>>729108954You guys tried to say the same thing about World and that game had nothing hard at all except maybe solo Behemoth.
"Is the weapon dangerous?">errmm technology isn't good or evilNot what I meant cunt I was asking if it won't blow up when we turn it on.
>>729108954Is it? I remember base World ATs being harder. With the notable exception of Savage Omega, I don't think anything in Wilds is all that hard because the ATs have been a bit of a disappointment. Whereas something like AT Kirin was a rando menace.
>wilds download is 160gb nowI'm praying that's just the high res textures, is there a way to not download them?
how is charge blade in wilds. Overcharging phials seems like it was an okay addition to the weapon
>>729109706Even if I agreed (I don’t)It’d just mean both World and Wilds are hard
>>729103712Wild's biggest problem is easily rectifiable, they just need to rethink their open world concept>Seikret's auto-tracking every monster on the map every time should go, at least force you to track them down each species once or twice before you get the option by using village Intel to scout the environment for clues>Bring back quests instead of making everything a free hunt>More monster interactions, not necessarily turf wars but something to make it feel like these things exist in the same environment together
>>729103712Monster Hunter is at the stage where its too big to fail.They can do whatever they want at this point and the next game will still be successful
Monster Hunter is doing great. They brought in the normalfag audience I've been playing the game recently and SoS has paired me up with the dudebro that forgets to turn off the mic and the woman that won't stop talking
>>729110523This. It’s a game series for brown turd world twitch streamers now.
>>72910895499% of a $70 game being piss easy shit is not fixed by the 1% of difficult content that wasn't even in the game at release, kill yourself faggot
>>729110437I just want challenge hunts back, nothing from World onwards has been as engaging as The Master's Test for example.
>>729108954>*perfect blocks your post*>*focus mode 360s while attacking*>*witch time dodges your reply*
>>729111231Yeah man in the old games Blagonga and Great Jaggi were hard filters xD
>>729111303Wilds just added hunt-a-thon quests, but you can't really scale difficulty like that anymore now that monsters maul each other so badly. Multi-monster hunts just aren't very hard with nu-MH mechanics. But I think there have been several ATs much harder than The Master's Test.
>>729107664all they had to do was the guiding lands again but in a huge map
>>729111732The low rank urgent Blangonga in GU is unironically more of a threat than not just its own Wilds counterpart that doesn't appear until high rank but practically every other monster in Wilds' main story too
>>729111813Huntathon is not comparable to a multi monster hunt in the arena from the old games. And I don't really agree with any single monster hunts being harder personally, but we can agree to disagree. Difficulty discussion has always been pretty silly for action games, honestly.
>>729103712What's wrong with Wilds again except that your PC can't handle it?
>>729112958Not much, just that the>Mechanics are shit>Roster is shit>Maps are shit>Music is shit>Visuals are shit>Story is shit>Characters are shit>Worldbuilding is shit
>>729112723The point is that World did have a bunch of multi monster hunts in arenas (both of them). They just aren't the same when monsters kill each other for you.
Monster hunter stories has been an amazing experience and it seems they brought the difficulty to that game over the main line title so I'll stick with it.
>>729112958>performance is apparently shit on most computers, but mine ran really well so I don't know if that's true>story is complete nonsense >Soundtrack was weak aside from a few standout tracks like Rey Dau and Arkveld 1>base game had a very weak roster for the most part>most of the new monsters were made to be low tier shitters for some reason>weapon movesets gutted and oversimplified, Insect Glaive being the most glaring example>Wounding mechanic and focus attacks are absurdly strong and reward you for just playing normally, as opposed to at least making you do a specific action>on release it only had one endgame monster to hunt>final boss was released as a half finished fight without any equipment at allI liked the octopi and power clashes though.
>>729104842This is something I always get so annoed by, people say "MH has never been hard" but that's not the point, I know MH is not supposed to be Dark Souuls or some shit, but it's definitely supposed to be harder than whatever MHWilds was.MHWorld was already cakewalk, but MHWilds is even worse, if a game goes from being 5/10 difficult to being 3/10 difficult I am allowed to complain that we lost 2 points of difficulty, even in both cases the game is easy.
>>729107664>make map huge and full of shit>shit now it takes forever to do anything>give you a mount so the map no longer feels big and you just fly past everything in a blurThe old open world paradox
>>729107664>What the absolute fuck were these retards thinking?>thinkingThat's the cool part. They weren't thinking about anything at all!
