Will you give it a try? Is extremely OoC for Capcom to not give up on something when it fails, instead giving it a sequel (that was successful) and now doing the unthinkable: remastering a MH game for a new console plus making a collection of a MH game.

but not this
They should change the name to "monster rider" but is a matter of brand, they can't just not call it "MH".
It's not out of character for Capcom at all. This is exactly how Monster Hunter has operated throughout its entire existence. It's a product of nepotism and constant disingenuous pushing no matter how soundly the market rejects it until they are finally tricked into accepting through persistence. Monster Hunter will never be allowed to fail while the Tsujimotos are in charge.
But that's not true. The original wasn't even his project, and the early games succeeded because they were proto live service games in Japan. They even had sub fees.
Sub fees for a PS2 game?
Yes, Capcom had a service called "Capcom Net" in Japan where you paid a sub fee for online games. It's why they jumped in so early. They made games like Monster Hunter and Resident Evil Survivor free to play online internationally because they knew that shit wouldn't fly.
World was the first console Monster Hunter without a sub fee in Japan.
>World was the first
Holy shit, even the 3ds ones?
No, that's why I said console. All the handheld games had free online, even as far back as Freedom 1. MH1, G, Dos and Tri all had subs. The PSP and 3DS games did not.
*Free multiplayer, I should stress. PSP was ad hoc.
3GHD didn't have a subscription fee, neither did P3rdHD
Those were ports of portable entries. May as well include XX while you're at it.
XX does have one THOUGH since Switch has paid online
And by that logic, so does World, I'm talking about Capcom charging a fee, dumpass.
I guess.
It's still a fee.
But not one charge by capcom but by sony and Nintendo instead.
I played both of them
They're not that good due to being hamstrung by a garbage combat system and it's lame they took out the elemental variants in the 2nd one
Capcom says they took it out because "nobody knew about" the trailers of the remaster actually highlight it so Capcom must be trying to fix this.
I never finished it because the first Stories game runs like hot ass on the 3DS. Everyone who played it knows how much the game loves to load in and then you're stuck with an overworld map that runs about as well as No More Heroes 1's city did on Wii.
The mechanics are pretty good though, it just wasn't meant to be on the 3DS.
>Is extremely OoC for Capcom to not give up on something when it fails
That's because it's Monster Hunter and as long as Ryozo is still with the company he gets to shield and nurture the IP forever
And still run better and looks better than all the pokemon games on 3ds.
I guess you played it on a normal 3ds? I never had problems with loading.
2 was fun, even had a fren play in tandem so we could do Fatty together.
Frick this gay ass thread. What are some good PSP games you would recommend that are NOT monster hunter.
Rengoku 2
Nice suggestion looks interesting.
You're in luck: I loaded my PSP up with 100 GB of obscure shit recently in an attempt to check out everything worth a damn on the system.

That's why I said

you dipshit.
>BUT ACE COMBAT!!
I picked stuff people probably aren't aware of. No shit Patapon is good. Everyone knows Patapon is good.
Ace combat is game people isn't aware of?
Ace Combat X specifically. It never comes up when people talk about the PSP. Meanwhile everyone knows Maverick Hunter X and Powered Up are good games. Everyone's heard about the Metal Gear games. Nobody's talking specifically about the Wipeout entries on PSP or fricking Killzone Liberation.
>Meanwhile everyone knows Maverick Hunter X and Powered Up are good games
Because they're remakes and mhx sucks but people don't seem to want to face it
MHX is way worse than X1, but it's still Mega Man X1 and - by virtue of this - a good game.
>still Mega Man X1 and - by virtue of this - a good game.
Not when it's affected by being another game suffering of going from sprites to 3D
You would have to really frick up to make X1 stop being a good game. MHX isn't nearly as good, but it's still good. Better than X3. and 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
(You) #
>You would have to really frick up to make X1 stop being a good game
MHX and that mobile remake. It happened already
Listen anon, I know you're asshurt, and I can relate.
But Maverick Hunter X isn't a bad game just because it's a lesser version of one of the best platformers of all time.
Anon, stop talking shit and face it. You're exactly doing what I said; don't want to face it was bad, exactly what 'but it still is mmx' is. The only decent quality the game had came from outside if it not from itself, that's a goalpost moving.
Now compare it to an actual good remake, one that it was good on its own.
>"Uhm, no, game bad because I say so."
Incredible argument. You're right, this game with excellent level design, great gameplay, wonderful pacing, fantastic music, superb character design and tons of fun weapons is actually DOGSHIT because... a different version has better visuals slightly less input lag.
You're shitposting on purpose. Game is bad because it's 3D, you had lots of examples of that in that bad period when companies forced games to be on 3D just because. The simple change from sprite alone does have a big impact
>A 10/10 video game with mediocre graphics? TRASH. GARBAGE.
You're trying to hard.
>You're trying to hard
Ironic. Meanwhile MHX being on 3D not only hurt the visual design but also the physics by sheer virtue of the 3D
>but also the physics
t. moron who has no idea what the frick he's talking about. It's harder for the player to judge visually, but the actual game mechanics are strictly 2D. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to consistently hit Vile and Not!Auto's head.
The 2d aspects of a game are always affected by the 3D enviroment. This isn't new
>The 2d aspects of a game are always affected by the 3D enviroment.
Oh God, he really is moronic. He doesn't know most 2.5D games don't tie hit detection and player state to the 3D models. He doesn't know what a hurtbox is.
You missed the entire point of it. But sure, yoy clearly enjoyed Metal Slug 3D
>"Oh, you think 3D graphics are not inextricably tied to physics? Well, a game that IS bad and 3D exists! Checkmate!"
You are deeply moronic.
Why are you moronic to the point of making up statements?
Oh, so that's not what you meant.
So it's just a non-sequiter.
That's much better.
Stop the asshurt, anon
>because... a different version has better visuals slightly less input lag.
>Different version
Original version. And it was superior in every way, that's how good it was
Yeah. A different version.
MHX is a bad remake because the original didn't need fixing. It's still a good game. Why is this hard for autists to grasp?
>MHX is a bad remake because the original didn't need fixing.
>don't try to fix
>still miss
At least there was powered up
ESL-kun...
Doesn't try to fix it then?
Jesus dude. Come on.
>Doesn't need fixing.
>Still fricked up.
Mhx was bad but not fricked up, it wasn't unplayable despite the lacking result after all, and here it does apply, it's mmx at the lowest point, the foundation is solid at least
Get yourself Guilty Gear Judgment and Rock Band Unplugged my man

I have that one. I just felt the list was getting long.
Judgment's the beat-em-up with the full #Reload roster playable (swapping out Robo Ky for the OC final boss as the final unlock). It's jank as hell but fun as frick.
No, I know.
Personally I'm more of an Isuka connoisseur when I want to play jank as garbage.
Mega Man Powered Up
Shiren 4 got translated recently
I loke to think that Capcom is trying to gauge what people loke from both MHS1 and MHS2 to make MHS3, I hope they realize that NOBODY LIKES NAVIROU! They actually realized that nobody likes the handler, why they can't do the same with the fricking cat?
>Loke
>Wrote it twice
What the frick?
Things MHS3 needs:
>More rideable monsters, including those that weren't rideable in the first two games.
>Element change return
>Customization for monsters, how about actually making armors for them?
>Romance options
>NO FRICKING NAVIROU!
>Romance options
>In a non porn game
For what fricking purpose?
Because is cute.
Get with the times Grandpa! Only good rpgs these days have romance options. Why do you think everyone that aren't Pokegays hate Pokemon? Gameplay? Story? Pfft. People just wanna frick.
>buying the version with dlc voucher instead of the Japanese version with everything on one cart and multi language.
The Japanese version is just MHS1 remaster in a card, the bundle also has MHS1 in a card with MHS2 as a download code, Crapcom is making this bundle the only way to get MHS1 physical im the west.
I beat the original on 3ds. I played the demo of 2 and didn't like it
No. Frick Capcom, cheapstake gays so it must be just like MHS2 with a small cart size si needs aditional donwload at overprice overseas.
I'll stay with MHS on my 3ds and I WILL be happy.
But anon, the 3ds doesn't have the "G" expansion.
MH2>>
other MH game
But we talking about the pokemon MH soin off here, not of mainline.
*We ARE

>pokemon MH soin
?
See
, I suck at typing.
You mean Freedom Unite.
Rise > World, Gura confirmed it.
Id play it for the cat, but preferably on a real console like PS5
>Is extremely OoC for Capcom to not give up on something when it fails, instead giving it a sequel
MH gets special privilege since it's Ryozo's baby and not only does it print money, he's the son of one of the top suits at Capcom. I get the impression that the people who work on MH are basically a sectioned-off group compared to the rest of Capcom, given that the IP gets a ton of leeway nothing else does, MH Stories are the only games still using MT Framework this long after RE Engine came out, and Exoprimal got to be made by the inexperienced younger staff on the MH team despite Capcom being really cagey about new IP in the past decade.
As for me, Stories 2 seems cool, all I heard about 1 was that it was mediocre and tried too hard to actually compete with Pokemon in terms of design & tone which is part of why 2 is better. I imagine you don't need to actually play 1 to get 2?
MHS1 was actually trying to imitate yokai watch, ergo that fricking cat.
>I imagine you don't need to actually play 1 to get 2?
nope, not in the slightest. Enjoy your pacific islander tomboy childhood friend.
You will miss some plot details but nothing major, in fact, playing MHS1 before MHS2 may make you hate the fricking cat even more.
>I heard about 1 was that it was mediocre and tried too hard to actually compete with Pokemon in terms of design & tone
It was serviceable and it certainly didn't since a fair share people knows it has the potential for it but capcom doesn't boost it enough
Oh, capcom boosted it a lot, it had a fricking anime.
No, that was for the mobile follow up that ofc, fricking died shortly. It was only with the second game that capcom seems to be more aware of it
I dunno if the anime had stuff from the gachashit in it later but the anime was definitely a tie-in for the first game, it started right around when the game came out iirc.
It's kind of a moot point since anything can get an anime these days. Pre 2000s could be a big thing but now they're desperate to get shit to put on and it's gutted to the point of being cheap as frick to make
It's nothing new dude, 80% of the anime made up through the 90s was made to sell toys or card games
Where are my Alita cards then homosexual?!
What? The gacha gaming had completely new characters while the anime was all about MHS1. Speaking of which, the gacha game had loads of great designs, I wish they would make an actual game with those characters instead of a fricking gacha.
Shame the zinogre bawd was doomed to go down with the ship
She cute
>want a new mhs
>new game announced
>frickton of great shit
>This is it, this is when it takes off
>new game ended up being mobile
God I hate capcom
But some time after that they announced MHS2 and this time they had not insane expectations. MHS2 was successful, I know because they bothered to make celebration posts when it sold one million and 1.5 million.
It was in a DMC state for a while, it was dire but somebody in there cared and got a second chance
>Capcom is doing a collection of the Stories games for the 20th anniversary instead of a G Legacy Collection
always makes me a bit peeved
Combat didn't grab me.
They'll never port a MH game again when they can just bring the monsters forward instead.
And I don't think any consolegays had a way to play Stories 1 with the 3DS dead, and the big update epilogue shit never got released officially outside of Japan.
>They'll never port a MH game again
but they made MH1G and MHFU for iOS
That would be a ton of work when you can just emulate them.
3DS emulation is still pretty ass in general and the UI scaling is awful, the official servers being dead also means you can't play online on official hardware either
Emutards love to hype up emulation but even as far back as SNES there are lots of inaccuracies. It always feels like playing a bootleg.
3ds has native gba and DS at least. Nowadays older systems emulation is reduced to the screen you use fricking up stuff
Who unironically plays these games? It looks like Japslop
>MH1 JP
>MHF
>MHDos
>MHFUC
>MHTri
>MHPort3rd
>MH3U
>MH4U
>MHGU
>MHW+I
>MHR+S
The definitive list. Play these, and you will encounter every single piece of unique content in the franchise.
>What about the MMOs?
>What about that one mission in MHF2 DLC that had a prototype Vespoid Queen that played differently?
How about shut up?
Glad to see Stories 1 on Steam. I loved both games.
I played both, I'll replay the first if it has backported QOL. Moving genes requiring exact slot position was aids.
>the hunters shitpost each other while the riders just chill
Kek.
I am surprised nobody has posted the cat everyone wants to frick, she is from MHS2 after all.
I tried 1 on 3ds and got very bored by the snorefest toddler RPG mechanics. I tryrated 2 on PC and quit before I got to the first battle because the intro was too long and boring
I guess JRPG in general aren't your thing.
Ive played all 11, yes 11 Dragon Quest mainline games. Stories is boring
No, it's exactly the sort of shitty Muppet-Babies style distortion a series goes through when they decide they want to deliberately skew younger for a new audience, as if the previous games wouldn't work as well as they did for the fans they already have. Frick that kind of weak-kneed thinking. Double-frick the wasted time they could've put into proper entries.
I skipped it before and I'll skip it again, hopefully it stays dead this time. And before you ask, you're goddamn right I'm mad.
whats weird to me is that kids dont like JRPGs, so why not make a trueblue MonHunRPG for whatever age demographic regular Monster Hunter appeals to
>kids dont like JRPGs
Pokemon sells twenty million copies these days.
and it would sell as much if it were a fricking musou game. Pokemon kids dont like JRPGs, they specifically like Pokemon and Pokemon alone
>5 million sales of P5
>2-3 million sales of Xeno 2 and 3
>Dozens of millions in Pokemon sales, with spinoffs without turn based battles selling far less while spinoffs WITH turn based battles sell closer to real entries.
>"NOOOOO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE KIDS HATE IT"
Ok moron
I think the spinoffs are tanking more than before
youre frickin high if you think Persona and xenoblade are primarily played by children
Anon, the last bug musou game, age of calamity, sold 4 millions and became the best selling musou ever.
yeah because moronic zelda kids unironically thought it was going to be Zelda but made by the musou guys and not Zelda:The Musou Game 2
Actually the ones that bought AoC where BoTW fans fully expecting at "objective: SURVIVE" scenario and when the plot turned to be time travel + alternate timeline they were ENRAGED. In a nutshell what BoTW fans wanted was THE GOOD GUYS TO DIE.
BOTW sold 31 million
BOTW Musou sold 4 million
And your moronic ass thinks pokemon musou will roll 20 million
>Pokemon Musou
Frick that, we need Xenoblade Musou.
>le musou meme
You've been there already and FEMusou was a wet fart instead of glory. Only worked when they had a tight leash and only happened once with zelda
I wouldn't dwell on it; game is a spin off, you can't count with being a polished product at its first installment
>Stay ded
The sequel was successful, though.
Capcom was indeed aiming for literal kids with the first game...they got the usual MH demographics instead so they focused on those with MHS2.
Toe beans!
We will finally meet her brither.
*Brother
GODDAMMIT.
Not the switch version. I already played the 3DS one
Someone has pics of these characters?
Palworld convinced Capcom that is possible to compete with pokemon.
I heard that in the gacha game there was a fatalis with a rider which makes no sense as Fatalis is pure evil...unless that rider was being controlled by Fatalis.
no because it isnt a fricking collection of the actual mh games. maybe this is them testing the waters for that but i doubt it
there are Monsters and Hunters, so yeah those are MH games
YWNBAH
How about they actually give us the collection of old MH games.
That's like asking for a port of Melee and the same answer applies: they want to you to play the lastest entry.
on one hand its pretty clear an hd collection would die out pretty fast within a couple months (see the private servers for things like tri and dos) so this doesnt even make that much sense but on the other hand would it be worth it for capcom from a business standpoint? i imagine if the collection sold 1mil or more then it'd be a net positive but i have no idea.
>How about a collection of this series of games where we jump ship onto the newest one as soon as releases?
A mario kart collection has way more sense since they don't actually die once the new game releases
Played the first one for 30 minutes
Dropped it when I found out the combat was rock paper scissors
MHS3 should have the colorful palette of MHS1 and the non chibi models of MHS2.
I really hope we get an MH game that plays like the main series but with the Stories artstyle. Either as Portable 6th, Stories 3, or some spin-off that combines the two. Given Rise has introduced Palamutes and Wyvern Riding, the next step would be expanding the Buddy system to include Monsties. Wyvern Riding could instead involve your Monstie after filling the Kinship Gauge, giving you access to their attacks and any specials in their genes, while you could do non-combat Riding Palamute-style at any time to access their overworld abilities. Palicos, as part of the Buddy system, would be able to use Prowler Mode in place of Riding.
I don't understand why the audio tracks and movies for the cutscenes in Stories 2 are seperate. The cutscenes run smoothly until they stutter briefly for no reason and then the audio and movie are desynced and it's happened with every single cutscene.
Actually unplayable.
where the frick is MH3U and MH4U remaster Crapcom ?!?
somebody who played both mainline and Stories please answer this for me:
In MH the Hunters always talk about "living in harmony with nature" and "keeping nature in balance" so their answer to this is slaughtering countless monsters and turning them into blunt instruments and clothing
In MH Stories the Riders talk about the exact same virtues and their answer to this is using magic stones to make a connection with the monsters and working together to stop monsters that go crazy from rampaging and the Hunters look down on them for "allying" with monsters
So what's the deal with the Hunters? Are they moronic? Is mainline Monster Hunter a huge pastiche like Starship Troopers was?
>In MH the Hunters always talk about "living in harmony with nature" and "keeping nature in balance"
No, this dumbshit nonsense was invented by World to appeal to filthy gaijin newbies. Hunters hunt because they must and/or can.
so they ARE moronic then
canonically, the hunter (You) only kill one of each monster, and those are only because if you do not they'll either kill people or disrupt the ecosystem.
how is killing something like a Great Jagras in it's own habitat protecting the ecosystem if it was already part of the ecosystem there
bravo anon you couldn't even read one sentence.
you just proved my point.
"Hmmm, if this researcher goes into the natural habitat of a gluttonous monster, they'll get eaten. We can't have that, go kill it"
why didn't they just send the researcher with a hunter to act as a deterrent and scare it off if they're spotted? Too much effort so their response is to go kill the thing? They're all morons.
"instead of sending a hunter to go fight it, bring one along to fight it"
brilliant anon, you solved monster hunter.
>”instead of sending a hunter to go fight it, bring one along to fight it"
Instead of sending a Hunter to KILL IT, bring one along to protect the researcher
There, I fixed that for you
The Riders keep their shit a secret because if the greater society found out about that shit you'd end up in a fricking JRPG society where evil organizations control monsters and unleash them onto the world to do their bidding. By keeping that shit under wraps and leaving it to the forest folk, all modern society has to deal with are wild monsters, which the hunters take care of.
correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the secret lore of MH that it's a post modern world where humanity had enslaved dragons and then one day they said "hey what if we merged a dragon with a gun" and after creating such an abomination the dragons retaliated and destroyed society so hard that it sent everyone back to the middle ages?
Because if so that JRPG society where evil controls monsters would kind of just be looping back around to that
