We're Not Sure We Could Cope With Two Monster Hunter Games In One Bundle

PushSquare: "Japan loves Monster Hunter. To the point where it's pretty much a defining title in the handheld space. But while Japan goes nuts over the convoluted adventure thing, we'd rather stick pins in our eyes. Needless to say Capcom's latest Monster Hunter Dual Pack -- due for release at a low, low $14.99 -- isn't particularly instilling us with much excitement."

im not sure what the article means. i guess he doesn't like monster hunter? i mean 2 monster hunter games for 15 bucks sounds awesome. i didn't even know there was a dual pack coming out, till now, which is pretty sweet. ill be picking it up for that price.

yea, but i heard Unite is Monster Hunter 2 with more stuff. It's kinda confusing why those two were bundled.

[christheredhead]

is it? truthfully, i know very little about those 2 titles as i haven't played them yet. all i saw in the article was 2 monster hunter games for 15 and i was sold haha. For the price, that's a great value seeing as how in depth and long a monster hunter game can take to complete. ill have to check them out for sure.

It's MHFreedom2, because MH2 came out on the PS2 in Japan only.

Before MHFU (Japans version = MHF2G) came out Japan always got G versions; upgraded MH games that included new monsters, weapons, items and a harder mode than + level (normal, +, G-rank).

It would make more sense to include MHF and MHFU, since MHFU is the upgrade from MHF2.

The only issue with that is all your items from MHF won't be able to transfer over to MHFU. Because you can only transfers your items from MHF to MHF2 which can then be further transferred over to MHFU.

Then again thought it means you have to start from scratch with MHFU, it's better than basically having 2 of the same games.

I think the point was even though MHFU is called an "expansion", the original MHF2 is already included in MHFU, and the bundle is kinda pointless since you can just buy MHFU by itself.

MHFU is MHF2+all the extra stuff already.

Yeah, screw the idea of getting two 100+ hr games for $15

What a horrible idea indeed

[fatalis95]

100hr+?? more like 1000hrs+ easy

[rezzah]

more like 500+ for me, I never really passed the 1000 hour mark with a MH title.

Not everyone can afford a Vita so 2 Monster hunter games is enough time for you to enjoy before getting a Vita.
