Ahhhhh.....
According to the wiki here, it can be anywhere from 30 to 100 hours, depending on exploring, side quests, etc. If this is accurate, then it is standard for an open world game. It is supposed to be a big game, regardless.

Monster Hunter is slow enough to not matter. This looks way faster, thus makes it way more noticeable.
I remember watching some demo where the player and his entire party got incapacitated by a group of harpies for a good while. The best part was the harpies just kept flying around singing their song as loud as they could, so loud that at one point it sounded like someones speakers were gonna break.

According to andriasang.com the game will last between 30 and 100 hours.
Monster Hunter, I believe. (Edit: Holy crap was I late!)
It's too much to hope that this will come to PC, isn't it?

I feel like I'm watching different videos than everyone else.
They all seem really slow and boring. Obviously different degrees of such (Mage looks very very bland), but even the Ranger's gameplay didn't seem very enticing.
The animations are nice, but seems very lifeless on whole.

I'm kind of the same way. Except I thought the Ranger didn't look good at all. Kind of made me think 'Koei game'
Ya, its no monster hunter, but I have hope, sorta.
Also the game visually reminds me too much of oblivion, obviously not as ugly, but not a great look.
I'm not really sure what to think of this. I want to be excited as it looks cool, but capcom has done an awful job actually showing it. Putting out videos of immortal enemies, and just beating on them makes the game look alittle boring.
They should release videos of someone just exploring the world, and fighting as they come across creatues, and beasts. Pinning an enemy to a rock, and doing the same attack over, and over again does not do much for me.

Game looks fucking awesome. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of the class abilities.
I love the little details, like the lizard that does a stop drop and roll because he's on fire.

Why would Capcom need a MH clone? They're trying to capture the other demographic, those who don't want to play online.

Why would they make a clone of a game they already make? That seems like kind of a dumb thing to do.
Striders look like they're supposed to be similar to Rangers, but rely more on short distance traps and snares.

um no
If anything this honestly reminds me of classic Capcom art. Character models in particular give me a Shadow of Rome vibe

Just keep in mind that it isn't an RPG. Capcom themselves are calling it an "open world high fantasy action game".
Shadow of Rome was a great fucking game. I just realized I don't own a copy of that...
Not the characters, they actually look somewhat competent, the environments, they all just look so lifeless and green. The deadish forest in the strider video wasn't too bad though.
Capcom can call it what it want, it has all the trademarks of an RPG as far as we can tell. What would suddenly make this game exempt?

Shame capcom has a coop gem in their hands they fuck up the coop.
Unless they have changed it?

Single player RPGs make more than Monster Hunter in the west.
Yeah, it's a bummer, but I got over it ages ago when I realised they're developing the game with single player in mind.

There are no levels, afaik. You improve only by getting new gear.
When are you guys going to get over this?
Final Fantasy Advent Children isn't a movie, it's "non-interactive software".
Dead Space Extraction isn't a rail shooter, it's a "guided first-person experience".

True true and I really wonder how it's gonna be to run around in it. Everything we've seen has been in sort of a vertical slice/demonstration glimpse
never

This is not the same thing. You don't level up in Dragon's Dogma. I'd be happy to call it an RPG, but it has no leveling.
Monster Hunter doesn't have leveling, but people still call it an RPG.

How is MonHun an RPG? whatever. At this point, people just call things RPGs because they "feel" like RPGs.
The game has a sort of Dark Souls-ish feeling to me. I love the idea of Japanese companies taking on western fantasy.
I do really like the PAWN system. The gameplay videos look essentially like Skyrim with a proper party system.
Yeah, that was the point. RPG definition debates never really end.

So from the wikia i get there are 9 classes.
And the game has one main hub a Big city and zones like amalur?
And Dam capcom the MT Framework is turning up some impressive games.

There is MH on 360/PS3? If they don't want to make the original at least put online into clone.
and they are horribly wrong. Crafting and equiping gear does not make one an RPG. Its an action game that requires skill first and foremost. There is no character progression what so ever, same with dragons dogma, you pick a class, and that class has a set amount of skills, like 2 or 3, and it doesn't seem like you ever get any more.

If they had any desire to put MonHun on 360/PS3, they would put MonHun on 360/PS3. Nothing is stopping them. They certainly didn't have to make a whole new IP with a giant dev team to do that.
The mage abilities look pretty awesome.
I'm hoping one of the classes is a casting/melee hybrid.
Agreed.
If MonHun is an RPG, then Zelda definitely is.

I'm curious as to the background behind the no co-op. Was this a technical limitation they tried to implement but just couldn't get working, along the lines of Darksiders 2? I remember those developers wanted to integrate 4-player co-op but they said it just wasn't technically feasible. On the other hand Lost Planet 2 had 4-player co-op but that was much more linear and closed off in terms of environments if I recall correctly.
If it was a conscious design choice, does anyone know the reasoning behind it? I find it hard to believe they would look to make what seems to be a Western Monster Hunter and then say co-op doesn't fit. Isn't that one of the primary selling points of the franchise in the first place? Why would you remove that from the formula? Or is this a case of everyone saying its like Monster Hunter but it's actually 'standard' rpg fare?

Frontier is on 360. What MonHun is on PS3?
