I know I would be more likely in being interested in it if it had a story.<br /><br />It's been on our internal "topics to write about" list to write about Achievements and their effects on player behaviour for years, but it sounds like in <i>Monster Hunter</i> people make up their own achievements as they go along since they're self-motivated to go out and quest for rare gear. I mean, aren't Monster Hunterers already manic completionists? That's why they play the games for hundreds and hundreds of hours.<br /><br /><i>Monster Hunter</i> was probably on handhelds lately because Japan likes handhelds more than consoles, and they were selling to Japanese people. Now they want to sell to Westerners, so it's back to a console push.<br />...That's my theory, anyway.<br /><br /><br />That demo is NOT for newcomers. It was meant for existing fans of the series, even though it was the first time the series was on the 3DS.

Heresy!
And I hope ...Megaman in MY Monster Hunter? Heresy!<br /><br />And I hope they don't go overboard with this funny "story" business.<br />Story is the mortal enemy of his rival "replay value" and the two just cannot coexist.<br />Hence games like Life is Strange or even The Last Guardian have no replay value.<br /><br />Luckily Monster Hunter is not meant to be replayed, but rather, being perfectionized in a single save file.<br /><br />This is interesting in regard to something completely virgin to the Monster Hunter franchise, which nobody (except me) seems to talk about: the bane of video gamers existence, worse than lootboxes, more dreadful than DLCs, I'm talking about - achievements.<br /><br />Many decent games - like the Last Guardian - got a very sour aftertaste from achievements like "Beat this games, that draws all its merit from atmosphere in a speedrun-like-fashion in under XX hours" (after a normal playthrough of The Last Guardian you have approximately earned 2 out of 50 achievments and no desire to replay the game)<br /><br />Or games like Prey with achievements that force you to replay the game 4 times.<br /><br />So I really hope they keep the achievements nice and easy like "Complete the main story", "Slay a Apholohlgopos","Play with friends","Stand around for 2 minutes" and "Exist".<br /><br />Because it would really spoil the soup if they try to turn gamers into maniac completionists, with achievements like "collect a size gold-crown for every single monster in this game" (the probabilities of encountering a gold-crown size (veeery small or veeeery big specimen) monster of any given type are veeeery slim.) or "collect every type of dung" or "slay 100 monsters with that weapon that you never even use".<br /><br />That being said I'm glad Monster Hunter freed itself from the handheld tartarus, because idek who had the idea that this would be appropriate. The closest thing to Monster Hunter is Dark Souls and just imagine playing Dark Souls on your 3DS, who would want that.<br /><br />The Playstation is where Monster Hunter belongs to. Welcome home.<br /><br />@Kody B.<br />There are no levels in Monster Hunter, only better weapons and armor (your character is just a mere mortal without those) as well as your skill, just like in Dark Souls. And the first "tasks" are tedious, because they have you collect herbs and cook meat and whatnot.<br />The game starts getting fun if you hunt down Monsters (who would have thought) (and stops being fun when the monsters wreck you so hard you want to cry).<br /><br />"KoopaTV's staff is forever turned off by how horrible the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate demo is on the 3DS"<br /><br />Maybe KoopaTV's staff needs to get gud at video games. 8)<br /><br /><br />Stray Dognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-88569461727436201492017-12-21T00:03:10.417-05:002017-12-21T00:03:10.417-05:00Monster Hunter fans state that the franchise's...<i>Monster Hunter</i> fans state that the franchise's grinding is different than standard RPG grinding in that it's tied to your skill and it's fun.Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-58478671612991116482017-12-20T23:46:51.315-05:002017-12-20T23:46:51.315-05:00I only played a little of Monster Hunter Ultimate ...I only played a little of Monster Hunter Ultimate 4, but it was enough to tell me that the series is just not for me.
