What does /v/ think of the Switch 2 port of MH Wilds? It was always planned or is a desperation port? Capcom announced a bundle for Japan... with a normal Switch 2, Rise for a special Switch with Rise's symbols all over the console and joycon. All of this screams "last minute", Capcom is really desperate.
all I want to know is is the switch 2 version of wilds also going to be clogging the 500 yen bargain bins japanwide or is a hybrid console just that appealing to salarymen
>>747401741*Rise GOT a special
>>747401898>alsowhat other switch 2 games are on the 500 yen bargain bin?
>>747402051He means also as in compared to other monster hunter games. They all tend to drop in price dramatically a few months after release, especially the first-in-gen games once the G rank version is out.
>>747401741>Switch 2 port of MH Wilds?lollmaoAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA...are you serious?
>>747401741Capcom also announced a new twinpack which is the most bizarre one ever as Wilds and MHS3 are so opposite of each other that is not funny. Wilds was designed to be the most anti-anime MH game ever and here it is, being sold together with the most anime MH game ever, is so fucking bizarre.
>>747402051>>747402134both of you need to read a book, preferably Dostoevsky
>>747402185Yes, I am serious https://youtu.be/_KAo1wfqjiA?si=Ca7OY8wk6xfOtWpO
>>747402134i see, that makes sense
>>747402134Except Wilds was already on sale like a month after is released, is the faster MH to ever go into the discount bind.
Capcom actually puts its games on saleThis is bad because uhhhhhhhh fuck you
>>747402716Is bad when is extremely fast, plus it wasn't Capcom who did it, it was the stores in Japan.
>>747402779Okay explain the microeconomics of it to me
>>747401741>Switch 2 gets a port of Wilds instead of a new "portable" MHFor fuck sake, fuck Wilds and fuck Crapcom.
>>747402853Rise just came out like a year ago what the fuck man
>>747401741>switch 2 bundleHow HARD did this shit game BOMBED ???
>>747402345I read Crime and Punishment. I like the part where Raskolnikov exposes Luzhin during the funeral party. It's a good book. 9/10, and the epilogue felt like Dostoevsky wanted to be done with it. If I were to compare it to video games, I'd compare it to Xenogears. A good game with a rushed last act. I've come to enjoy it after vowing to read more last year, and it's made me realize that Playstation's single player games are the worst in the industry. TLOU1 and TLOU2 are garbage, and the journos who prop them up are the ones who should read books. It's also made me appreciate the beauty of gameplay in video games, and how gameplay makes video games unique.
>>747401741>It was always planned or is a desperation port?100% desperation. They're running back to the Japanese market with their tail between their legs.
>>747402809The only reason why stores would put something in sale is that they can't sell it and is filling inventory space.
>>747402891RISE CAME OUT 5 YEARS AGO YOU FUCKING TWAT!
>>747401741>is a desperation port?yes
>>747402928Why do some supermarkets discount meat at 11 and some at 6:30am?
>>747401741All of Capcoms games are being put on the SW2. Why would it be a desperation port? Goddamn you people are fucking stupid.
>>747403079Because is gonna spoil! You can't compare food products in this situation.
>>747402853New Portable game will still happen, this is just a stopgap and an attempt to salvage Wilds' sales (which will probably not work because the game is fucking awful for portable play)
>>747403123Hate to spoil this for you but no
>>747403082>Why would a game that barely runs on the PS5/PC be a desperation port to the Switch 2?
>>747401741it looks blurry as shit on PC, how bad is it on switch?
>>747403296Blurrier
I checked, and it says the Switch 2 version is 39GB with updates already included, while the PC version is like what? 120GB? Is it worth the downgrade?
>>747403339Is fucking Wilds, it's not worth anyway.
>>747402338For fuck sake, tell me that "best price" box thing is not real, it reminds me pic related.
what's gonna be the next cope excuse when it will dominate your beloved famitsu thread, anti capcom schizo?
>>747403769Idk but their provocative word of choice will be utilized twice per post
Crapcom must be screaming to the heavens, asking why the western market ate out the new RE games but didn't eat Wilds despite both being "hyper realistic, movie games designed to appeal to the west".
>>747401741I love how Capcom most likely passed Nintendo a load of money to open the Direct with this only for it to be completely forgotten the moment the trailer ended. This would've been a huge deal and a highlight of the showcase if they'd done it before everybody found out how bad Wilds is, but now it's just met with pure apathy. If that's not a sign of how far Monster Hunter has fallen in the public eye then I don't know what is.
>>747401741
>>747401741Would be stupid to not port it because it's essentially free money to Capcom. As simple as.
>>747403997You would have a point if the Rise bundle that came later didn't have an actual special console.
>>747402993Barrierstation 5 loses again
>>747404031But Wilds sold bellow Capcom's expectations.
>>747401741I would rather have just waited for the next portable but they gotta try anything they can to pump the numbers. But as a series long sicko whos played these games since the start Wilds just aint gonna be Worlds 2 no matter how hard they try. That was a perfect storm for normies, then they decided to go full normie and in doing so remove all the autistic sicko shit and you end up with a massively dated game for nobody. Like its not the worst game in the world but its certainly -in terms of representative of the time it came out- one of the worst entries in the series. It also has the worst reputation with normies to a degree even Tri didn't have and that fucker removed weapons till the portable team did 3U to fix this same teams mess.Ultimately i feel like the mainline team has run out of creative steam and just imitate now. While the portable team stick firmly in their action combat lane but iterate on what they learned last time and so they are more consistently solid releases.This is just a case of them already hitting every other market and finding nobody wants it after word of mouth from the launch players spread. Its this or make a mobile verison to try and punch the numbers but we have seen from shareholder cause its sales are abysmal for its scope and budget.
>>747403296When you open the box it has one of those Christmas card music chips in it singing "can you take it all away?".
>>747404139yeahso let's try pumping those numbers up a bit
>>747404381Is a wasted of resources if you ask me.
>>747404071>Barrierstation 5>The Direct ended with Kirby destroying the barrier and moving onward to 2027An artistic display of how Playstation has nothing for 2027.
>>747404461well, they sure as fuck didn'talso, pic related
/v/ has never been so detached from reality about games or consoles why is this board like this
>>747401898Japan is a phone countryonly coomers play pc and grannies play consoles
>>747404615What do you mean?
I never played Wilds but I stopped playing monhun for multiplayer a long time ago. I soloed Iceborne and I don't feel like I missed out on anything. If you treat it less as monhun and more as a Souls cousin game, then it's still fine, I assume.

>>747405057He doesn't know, he's just reading off of the email Capcom sent him
>>7474040653U launched as 3DS exclusive, along with a special handheld color variation for the japanese release. Rise similarly launched as a Switch exclusive with a special console.Wilds is not a Switch 2 exclusive, so there's little reason to celebrate it with a special edition console.
>>747405802what the fuck are you talking about
>>747405868Anon, that is just a normal WiiU.
>>747401741Maybe the devs are forced to finally make it run now that it has to run on base PS4 tier hardware.
>>747404065Nintendo is giving Zelda the special console this year you retard.
>>747405868If I'm not misremembering that came out like a year after the 3DS version. I dont think the Wii U was even announced yet when I played 3U on 3DS.
>>747401741this will be total shitshow
>>747401741>desperate portAbsolutelyAlso still not buying the expansion
>>747402338They're desperately trying to boost wilds sales.
>>747401741They're selling it for only around 3000 yen. There's no trust in this title even from Capcom.
>>747406286>There's no trust in this title even from Capcom.Yet they just recently told their investors that they think Wilds' sales will surpass World long term. They've completely lost the plot.
>>747401741Feel the same way I would have felt about ports of 4 and WorldI already played it, it sucks ass, there no reason to buy it again.But, capcom selling it only for $30 instead of $40 like pc/ps5/xbox version or even $70 like many other devs who port their games do. Is nice move, and if game sucked less and had cross save, I would have bought it just to support such practice
>>747402338>Wilds and MHS3 are so opposite of each other that is not funnyThey not, both start with experienced hunder/riderBoth try to force super serious story down in our throats
>>747403997those were the days, werent they?
>>747402993Wilds' sales falling off a cliff is a triumph of word of mouth.
>>747406493They also said that wilds success was due to its story elements, they're high on something.
>>747405992maybe say 3G because 3U released on both consoles simultaneously
>>747401741This is gonna be a diaster, Wilds plays like shit of PS5 and PC, it will be worse on the Switch 2.
>>747401741Crapcom's desperation is cathartic for me.
I like wilds
>>747408689I like wilds when I'm not playing or thinking about it.
>>747401741Why is Capcom desparate? They're one of the few game companies selling well. Even Wilds sold 10m in a month.
>>747409234Because after that opening of 10 million, Wilds only sold one million more in one year. Capcom admitted that it sold bellow their expectations https://www.notebookcheck.net/Capcom-admits-Monster-Hunter-Wilds-fell-short-of-the-company-s-expectations.1093405.0.htmlWhich means 10 million WASN'T ENOUGH and now are scrambling to make a quick switch 2 port to recover the japanese players who abandoned MH.
>>747409234Because Ryozo needs to lie to his daddy's shareholding friends that wilds is berry big sakusessu
>>747409234Wilds has zero legs, it moves less copies than rise and world nowadays lolIt's just what happen when you launch a mediocre game that runs like complete shit, you'll get a lot of initial sales at the cost of the good will you had amassed over the years and then word of mouth catches up.Wilds biggest failure isn't even that it's selling badly, it's that every monster hunter game after it will also sell worse than they should due to how butchered the series' reputation has become. They pretty much lost all the new customers that world had managed to attract for good.
I can't visually tell worlds or wise apart and I had 380 hours in worlds I don't think anyone is frothing at the mouth at this like you guys areThe rest of us are having fun playing video games
