MH4U had good localization, not a good story.
Was the writing better received internationally than in Japan?

People are still salty they are not getting this on the Switch or blame this as a cause of MHXX not coming to the west. They will always find a way to hate MHW.

Right? It's really quite gorgeous.

I'm not talking about it being good narrative (it was not, IMOOOOOOOOOOOO don't bite) but it had a bigger focus on it, with more cutscenes, more villages, more npcs, more stuff.
I don't really care, but I know people care.
I AM salty as the sea ^^ but I don't wanna hate on this game because Capcococom suits are a bunch of clueless morons.

Yeah that's a non-issue, just regard it as a tutorial of sorts if you are a hardcore 200h+ player. It won't take away from the grind. It'll cost Capcom a pretty penny but if they want to achieve the success they need in the west this needs to be accessible for newcomers and ease them into the game.

This is their best trailer yet, and overall, just a really fucking good one regardless. They hit all the right notes.
The "story" is not important in Monster Hunter, but the writing is, the world building, the chatter in the towns, the characters you interact with, the atmosphere, the juxtaposition of cozy local life and threatening beasts roaming around its outskirts. So, yes, please, more of this kind of world building. Having said that I did like the atmosphere of MH3 better than MH4 even though MH4 had more cutscenes, so it's not as simple as more cutscenes = better.
It looks so fluffy. Shame I'll have to kill it

Eh, Capcom surely are a bunch of morons and seem to be keen on shrinking their userbase but there will probably be a Switch version coming and if it is coming it will be based on MHW, even though it will most likely not be a port. No salt needed from any side. Market will decide whether this was a good move or not.
yassssss. I'll just double dip anyway but I don't have a PS4 Pro and don't plan on buying one (for current price anyway) so eh. It'll hold me over. Hope it's a month or less at worst since there will be no save transfer.
More people would have complained that there is too much story and all the "westernization" crap
E3 was all about announcement and teasing
This trailer would have been "too much" for a worldwide reveal

Yeah I think this will perform really great on the tech side, looking forward to it.
Looks like Narga 2.0
That flying lizard looks amazing. I can't wait to see what it's armor set looks like.
And I hope there are more bugs this gen. Some of my favorite battles from 4U were seltas and nerscylla
Like narga mixed with a kecha wacha

Yeah, you're right. I worded it poorly, that was my point pretty much.

I'm going to assume that this monster is how you get this armor set.
Good catch. It looks so cozy!

Pathetic. You people can't help yourselves at this point.

Yeah must be it.
Well, A.I should be more complex, interaction with the environment and other smaller/larger monsters and just the way they animate should lead to a way better MH experience.

Looks like a lot of cutscenes I'm going to not be paying attention to.

Okay so I'm counting 5 new monsters from the trailer. This is if I literally do not count things that showed up in previous trailers/gameplay.
Snake-headed Narga thing:
Fluffy Bat (side note: this location is fucking gorgeous in its otherworldliness):
New drome thing, which can flashbang with its crest:
Nergigante, the flagship:
Whatever the fuck this magnificent beast is:
2nd picture because holy shit look at it:

it looks like a magala variant
Hmmm... Really depends how quickly you master the combat. Each new encounter is a challenge curve you have to get over. You win, get new stuff, move on to something harder. Throw in coop and G Rank and things get more challenging.
Very challenging for solo players.
With a 4 men team. the challenge is in actually managing to attack the monster.
Very challenging.

It's going to sell a lot. Japanese gamers seem pretty excited to play it and I'm sure it's going to move a lot of consoles as well. But the 3DS has a much bigger userbase, so who knows...
...worldwide this could easily become the best MH game to date, sales-wise.

Wait a minute, in late January the confirmed worldwide release date? I'll have Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Ni No Kuni 2 and now this as day 1s in two months over December and January. Damn...
Start off easy but gets kinda hard later on, with co-op they aren't any harder than your regular mainstream game though.

Still can't say I'm feeling the monster design. I kinda almost like the new chameleon monster, but otherwise I'm kinda disappointed. I guess having a new Narga is interesting too, but I don't really like the way it looks so far. Outside of that it looks decent.
God knows when the PC release is happening though so it's hard to really be that excited. Guess I still have a lot of stuff to do in XX in the meantime.

I'm going to look forward to become fluffy as ... fluff with its armour set. :3
Some complained about this game not being very colorful. I guess they got that color now.
