I remember back in the day when it was one of the killer apps in Japan for the PSP...

 

[Sleepwalker]

Could never get into this series but always happy to have a thriving Capcom.

 

[R6Rider]

Super excited for Wilds. Worlds was fantastic, and Rise was great.

 

[Danjin44]

I hope we get some news on Monster Hunter Wilds soon and get a flashship monster demo.

 

[gow3isben]

World was one of the best games of all time

Rise was mid

 

[ArtHands]

Capcom stays winning

 

[Comandr]

Worlds was one of the best games of all time

Rise was mid

Correct.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

MH Wilds will do banger sales numbers for Capcom once it releases next year.

 

[kyubajin]

MHW got me into this series and never looked back. Can't wait for Wilds.

 

[Arsic]

I loved Rise.

I hope Wilds keeps the mobility aspects.

 

[Mr Moose]

Fix Rise, you bastards.

 

[bbeach123]

fck these trash dango . I want real food(meat) !

 

[KiteGr]

Played both.

World was good, but iceborne kind of broke the experience with the clutch claw. Yeeting a monster towards a wall was cool, useful and beneficial, and tenderising parts could had been a cool bonus, but whatever benefits they have where lost when they tried to manage the monster's health around them. The result is the mechanics being mandatory, and the monster spending half the time on the ground and the other half pissed out of it's mind, while having little benefits to show for in master rank.

Rise just took a step backwards. Story once again barely existed. The missions where separated in single and multi -player. The skill changing is cool, until you realise that some are obviously better than others. Your character dresses and acts more like a Power Ranger. Graphically was obviously worse. And, the worse of all, the game was released unfinished.

Rise was worse, but both where good games.

 

[Roman Empire]

Expect 20 million more with the next installment. While Capcom stays winning, Square stays losing.

Keep on cooking Capcom.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Glad for them, they make pretty cool games.

That said, I really hope they've learnt a few things from Dragon's Dogma 2's development, specially in regards to optimizing an open-world in the RE Engine.

Excited to see what they do with Wilds, although I'm not sure I'll be there day 1 rather than waiting for the G-rank version.

Rise was kinda meh, GU is still my favorite.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I started with MH2 and 3, but I couldn’t get into them. I had 4 at launch, but it was the same deal even with a Circle Pad Pro. World was a lot of fun, but Rise was where it was at for me. I played a lot more than I ever have and it was awesome seeing the credits roll. Rise is probably my favorite.

The evolution of this franchise is something else. I can’t say I’m a typical fan, but I’d buy Wilds if it’s anything at all like Rise.

 

[CoreyFlawless]

Wilds for sure a day one buy for me.
