The Monster Hunter franchise is something of a power house, but when it was announced Monster Hunter 3 would have monthly subscription fees for online play in Japan, it raised a few eye brows.
However, it might not be the case in the West, and it's something that Capcom will be looking at closely as the game's Western release approaches.
What's the best Monster Hunter of all time? In a series where half of the titles have the word 'Ultimate' fixed on the end, it can be a difficult decision to make. NL are not averse to difficult decisions though, so have taken it upon theirselves to rank every single Monster Hunter game (yes, even the non-Nintendo ones) to determine which is the very best.
First world problems all up in here, but that makes this gaming dilemma no less stressing.
The third generation of Monster Hunter drags the series back to western shores because well, why not? In fact you could say that three really has been the magic number. Unless you live in Japan in which case one and two were also pretty fantastic and if anything three has been nothing short of a crushing disappointment.
‘But wait!’ Voletic hears you scream, ‘Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has been recently announced, why are you addressing the third iteration?’ Because background knowledge is a beautiful thing and Voletic has a word count to fill.
My problem with MH is the slow paced and plain combat system, if they make it more dynamic count me in.
They need a full console release, launch the CryEngine one for PC for PS4/XO. And make sure to bring it stateside.
Sounds interesting. I bet Western gamers will like this news.
The monthly fees SHOULDN'T be scrapped.
good, subscriptions blow xD
I don't like paying subs for Japanese games. Besides FFXI, I've never played a Japanese game with subs model that had support anything short of abysmal. And even though FFXI is well supported, the customer service is awful compared to devs based over here in the West. They've a long way to go before I trust Japan to treat me well for the money I pay monthly.
I don't understand... How come we can play so many FPS online for free and when it comes to games like this we always have to pay? Uncharted will have co-op and competitive, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 has some online modes too and what about Resistance 2 were the multiplayer it's so massive? All of them free.
