After the reveal, just about all of the people I follow that love Monster Hunter, all either in US or EU, were practically posting "Fuck Switch" the entire night after the reveal of World, mainly because it looks better than XX.
If the MH community doesn't want it on Switch, what's the point of localizing it?
Oh baby! Switchaxe here I come!! That was the best weapon introduced in MH3.

Alright, for everyone still calling people out for even daring to be cautiously optimistics instead of OMG HYPE TRAIN; This precaution isn't a fanboy thing, heck it probably isn't so much a MonHun traditionalist thing... it's a Capcom thing. This the same company that try to AAA and westernize their games, and as a result, ended up with suuuuuuch beloved classics like Resident Evil 6, DmC, Dead Rising 3/4, and Raccoon City. Of course we're worried, and couple that with the seemingly accurate proposals in the leak, it'll literally take trailers announcing all the features we hope don't get cut to ease our fears. Regardless, we seem to be off to a good start, soo let's hope they don't fuck it up!
Really? I haven't seen anyone with a 3DS for ages now. Maybe once in several months. Everyone plays on their phones, regardless of age tho. Haven't seen a kid with a 3DS in years, literally. I wouldn't really say that there are lots of players in Asia who care about local multiplayer at all. That's not to say they don't own and buy 3DS games, but I don't believe it's remotely the same as the gaming culture in Japan.
The community 100% wants XX. It's a known game that gives us what we want, not something nebulous that might leave behind what we enjoy.

yeah, Brachydios and Zinogre are straight up anime and those didn't get introduced until the released of the mainline Gen 3 titles.
I like them going back to more naturalistic looking monsters, but wouldn't be opposed to some more outlandish ones.
Alright I'll bite. The moneyhat can only go so far. Sony doesn't have the MS warchest to make it 100% exclusive as I'm sure Capcom could afford to charge an arm, leg, heart, liver for this series. Capcom agreed partial exclusivity. Also Phil Spencer was in Japan, so I'm sure he brought his bag of dough to get any Japanese game on Xbox One out West. He probably didn't care of Xbox One didn't get a Japanese release for MHO

The poster knows that. They're questioning how the person came to the conclusion that Worlds will prevent a western localization of XX and a future portable MH game.

But they revealed World a couple hours ago. How can that be possible?

Considering the success of Destiny, Diablo and a million other loot based games. You'd think they'd be open to "grinding". Drop-in multiplayer is great addition to ease players who are used to waiting in the guild.

I tried it in Toukiden 2 and I hate it.
Yeah, why? Worst part of 3. And they fucked up Deviljho's design.
The trailer also seems to show a sort of fast travel where you get yanked around by a flying monster

Because then you can sell a portable version of Monster Hunter alongside your new western console title.

the trailer shown at the press conference was seemingly "tailored" for the west audience.
this is from their Japan website:

the game screams MH5. Seems they panicked and changed the name last minute: the font in the logo is just off.

Because we normally blast the hell out of it and set traps when their sleeping.
That's the one good thing in the trailer. Swimming was a great addition that never should have left the series.

Not all hunter games are the same. Just like not all fighting games are the same.
The combat isn't for everyone, but it's legit my favorite action combat going right now. Learning each of the 14 weapons is like learning a whole new game. It's great.
Because when it comes to Monster Hunter Xbox is not their main competitor.

I probably should've said "The Western community" since I'm sure Japan is ready to eat up the Switch version.
Is it day time for you guys? It's been night time here on the US East Coast for a while.
And how would they justify buying two very similar games and spending 500 hours on each without any obvious trace of cross buy/save?

Like they also didn't bring over Ultra Street Fighter 2?
MH is saved.
And I'm talking about the western community. It's stupid to say the significant crowd that bought the 3DS games doesn't want the direct continuation of those games.

Somehow I doubt the vast majority of the MH community will turn their backs on traditional MH, so your question probably isn't too relevant.

About the Brute Wyvern shown...I actually like it. Nice natural colors, not too outlandish. Could use a bit of redesign to look less bland, but so far is okay.
Compared to my first impression of Zinogre, who has horrible color scheme, and too many spikes for a "wolf". I like everything else about it though.

So do bowguns just not need to be reloaded anymore? And what is up with them letting you move and shoot?
It's ridiculously early to make these kinds of conclusions.
The combat is, the rest isn't.

It's so weird seeing proper 3rd person aiming in monhun. Probably the most objective improvement to the traditional series.

There are reasons to be critical that have nothing to do with console fandom. There are those who are underwhelmed by the graphics, and that is perfectly legitimate. But the various concerns of combat being dumbed-down are not supported by this reveal.
Exploration sounds a little different, but how do we know if that is really bad?
That's just my overall opinion. I want to stay out now, and let other users dominate this thread.
Come on now, surely you're not that naive. You know why.
Three words.
1st word - Not
2nd word - On
3rd word - (I'll let you figure this one out)

I was JUST thinking about this. With the new improvements and additions to land traversal shown, this could mean very good things for underwater gameplay.
So many things to be excited about with this game.
AND FINALLY WORLDWIDE RELEASE!!!! so freaking hype.

Huh , not sure if its just me (and my traveling route) but i do see Teenagers and adults playing on Buses and MRT, at least once a week. (This is also true when i travel overseas). The worst are those who play on a crowed MRT in SG , i dont know how that can enjoy the game and they are blocking people path.
