In my personal experience (which may not be similar to other peoples) going through low rank isn't grindy at all. The only times you'll need to kill a monster more than once is to get a full set of its armour. However, you only need to make a fresh set every once in a while unless you really want to specialise in random skills (you get your skills from your armour). High rank is a bit grindier however. Still, no where near as bad as Mmo grind imo. Mostly because you're not grinding dungeons, just bosses.

Awesome video to wake up too, love this guy!
Did the bird just stop that Attack with the Boulder he was playing with... And does a "No, no, no" head shake to make you look like a fool...
Damn!

That was incredibly sweet.

This is such a quantum leap for the series. Really hope it works out for Capcpom.

I knew it would be Gaijin Hunter lol
Nah, X to XX was a quantum leap. This is huge.
Anyway, the trailer was great but I wasn't really feeling the new main theme which is strange for the series, at least for me.
Yup, before I even clicked on it I had a feeling. Really cute vid

What the hell is it with Japanese devs and frame pacing issues?
It seems like they're about to do that "big jump" that Game Freak is rather cautious about doing with Pokemon. It really will be interesting for not only for Capcom, but the Japanese gaming industry as well.
Gaijin Hunter is adorable.
That was too cute. "NANI SORE?!" got me good

For any other xbox player.. Microsoft just confirmed Monster Hunter World will be enhanced on the one X. So thats good to hear
Good stuff.
I'll be on PS4 though. Also PC, whenever that version comes out.
Volganos -> Lavasioth was another really bad change.

Awesome. REALLY hope it ends up being cross play as well. Ideally it will be Xbox Play Anywhere like RE7, so there's some precedent from Capcom in that regard.
This is my most hyped 2018 release by far.

Didn't have time to comment on this yet, but looks really good.
The Hub video is a lot more impressive since it's gameplay, and not the classic action trailer (which had some parts bothering me a bit, but not that much).
I'm still a bit doubtful over the grapple mechanic to be honest, rest seems good outside of the bows.
Graphics look good, enhanced MT framework, nothing fabulous but looks better due to the jump from 3DS obviously. A bit disappointed by the UI that looks nearly too modern in some places (aka like MHO), but at least it either works mostly the same way, or introduces some cool new elements.
Looking forward to the PC version, shame it'll be out months later and that there's no crossplay at all. Oh well. Won't double dip.

If you're meaning a 3rd person camera following your character vs an Isometric fixed view, to looks to be the former from what I've seen. So more Destiny like? Outside of that comparison, Diablo and Destiny Hubs seem the same to me.

Ehhhhhhhhhh... I Guess it could pick up the crowd that were looking forward to scalebound
Maybe? It seems like there's a lot more excitement for DBFZ, though that has the advantages of being tied to an enormously popular IP and looking as incredible in the graphical department as it does. MS was really smart to tie that to Xbox early on, even if it will likely be a title that favors the PS4 once it releases.
It's only grindy when you play solo. MH is made for multiplayer and decent skilled group of hunters shouldn't take a hunt longer than 10 minutes (except on some late game monsters).
There's notable performance difference between MH4U on N3DS and 3DS, and from my experience it doesn't affect gameplay that much.
This is what they show on their Japanese footage.

Watching the footage over and over again, ditching the 3DS is the best thing to happen to the series in recent memory.
So many things are no longer an issue. Beyond everything else, I'm so excited to not be constrained to the 3DS' unergonomic and shitty form factor. Especially for big hands. Good god, that handheld was so poorly designed.
Good riddance.

That starting monster with the rock is the best.
Monster Hunter G added the ability to let you hold down the gathering button for faster gathering.
It's not gonna be on sale in Japan for Xbox, it's gonna sell an ok amount in the west.
They added the hold function in Generations iirc.
Gathering is instant now so that's nice. The farm will obviously be the way to go for mass material gathering.

Monster Hunter X and XX both let you gather until the resource point is exhausted by holding the button.
Personally I'm not really that hyped about this game, which is strange considering I've played upwards of 2000 hours of MH 4/X/XX. Part of it is that I'm extremely disappointed they ditched Arts/Styles instead of rebalancing them or iterating on the idea in some way. Instead they've doubled down on mounting stuff which is my least favourite thing to do in MH. Also I'd much rather have this game on a portable, as my wife uses the TV a lot and I'll never get as much playtime as I do on 3DS.
I'm happy you're all getting a console MH, I know lots of people here have been dying for that. Hope they bring out a portable one later on for people like me.

I can see this running on Switch. Also it is coming to PC slightly later than consoles. I don't think swimming is coming back, and good riddance.
Charms were the fucking worst thing introduced in the series.
While I also hated swimming, but that fight with the giant whale thing was the best in all of MH's giant monster fights.
Tri doesn't just bring something new to the table. It is the leap that turned Monster Hunter from something good when solo, great when coop, to all time classic game. Tri ditch all the chicken wyvern monsters besides the Rath and Diablos, which they have reworked the animation and hitboxes, and introduces brute wyvern and leviathan that pretty much changed the flow of combat. Gone the day where monsters are using instant 360 tail spin attack, oversized hipcheck, headcharging without windup and all of that cheap shit. That FU-P3rd leap wouldn't happened without Tri taking the leap.
The portable game are great and people who dismissed it should've check their head, but come on, let's not downplay the leap they take with Tri and credit it to a different game.
'Glory days' seems just a crying of people that long for objectively worse game from the past just because those game are on console or their platform of choice.
Oh that's what he meant. But I still think it is just an afterthought for Capcom though, most of the trailers seems still to be released on PS youtube channel.
MHGen taught me to love and appreciate post-Tri subspecies.
Seriously, MH4U subspecies taking is the definite way to go since it is where they managed to reuse assets and renew old monster at the same time. Fighting only one species of each monster get boring quick.
Really? Ceadeus is cool and the way they handled the scale of it was rather impressive, but he's really boring to fight. I was really surprised that they did virtually nothing to spice up the Goldbeard variant, since he's probably the easiest G-rank initiation fight ever. At least he's a great source for money in MH3U, since his drops are generous and they're worth a ton for how easy it is to get them!
Oh I don't mean the camera. I guess I forgot diablo had the option to have random drop in. Was more curious as in diablo you had 4 max in the town hub, but Destiny had like 20+ or so people and you group up with people in the hub before heading out. Not really sure how much monster Hunter evolved with the multiplayer aspect of the game.
Like I said it still gonna be an ok amount. Europe and the rest of the world are practically sony/PC land.
