>MHO is an HD breath of fresh air in comparison
>MHO is "China Only"
Good god Capcom hates money. They neglect their american/uk audience so much that they've practically alienated us. All I want to do is slay big monsters with my friends without staring at a tiny screen or dealing with aching hands from playing for too long.or buying a piiU
>>336209289
But monster hunter on the go iscomfy
>>336209446
This is true, but why limit it to JUST a 3DS? Oh wait because nintendo are jews and don't like multi-platform games on their systems.
>>336209648
but anon, multi-platformisn't comfy
>>336209648
>it's an "i bought a vita and i'm shocked and angry that sony consoles have no games" episode
>>336209289
MHO is also shit so lmao
>>336209648
but there are multiplatform games on the 3ds and vita anon.
just buy a 3ds if you fel really bad about not playing mh
>>336210156
Good Argument
If the NX turns out to be a handheld/home console hybrid thing then that could mean future MH could be on the big screen too
I'm kind of hoping that'll be the case
>>336210203
I have a 3DS and I'm tired of having to play on a handheld. MH got it's start on consoles and MHO proves that the controls and concept work well on PC. I'm frustrated that Capcom insists on making it hard for non-asian countries to enjoy their game.
>>336210047
Don't own one
>>336209289
You forgot something
>No MHO
>No DDO
Are Capcom scared of WoW or something? Makes no sense to avoid international releases for MMOs.
>>336210392
It's because it sells truckloads in Japan.
No one in Japan buys consoles any more.
It's all mobile and handhelds.
And guess what is the most popular handheld in Japan?3DS
>>336209289
MHO is really shit though, it really does feel like a chinese ripoff of Monster Hunter.
>>336210757
Isn't that because it's developed by Tencent
>>336210817
Yeah, it is, but saying it's a HD breath of fresh air is a disgrace to the series.
>>336210717
I'm pretty sure the market is bigger outside japan if you combine the US and UK market. I mean ffs MHO came out in CHINA only.
>>336210858
>I'm pretty sure the market is bigger outside japan if you combine the US and UK market.
>>336210852
The graphics on paper are the only going for it from what I see. Even Frontier looks much better to play than this.
>>336209648
You could say the same back in the Sony days..
>>336210858
MH4U is the first game that break the million.
>>336209446

240p and handcramps aren't comfy friend. Give me a proper controller and my bigscreen with a couch, that's the literal definition of comfy.
>>336210717
>No uprezzed port that will take minimal effort to consoles like Toukiden, or God eater
I fucking hate Capcom, just put in a bit of effort and watch as the entire western market buys a port because they are tired of playing on tiny screens unlike the gooks.
I'm done with capcom,nintendo,sega,blizzard,ea,ubisoft, and on the fence with Bethesda.
Feels good not having to consider buying their games. Let's me focus on other stuff
>>336211279
what is left, apart indies
>>336211065
>release an uprezzed port like Toukiden
>receive mixed reviews like Toukiden
>get five sales like Toukiden
>>336210852
>Having a nice looking game is a disgrace because a majority of the releases are handhelds
>>336210937
It's not bad. I haven't played too far into it and I'm hoping the difficulty spikes a bit. It's not as fluid as MH normally is, but I'd chalk that up to shitty china servers. There isn't a whole lot of gimicky bullshit from what I've seen so I'd say it's okay. It just leaves me craving for an official MH release on PC.
>>336211471
It's a disgrace because it's a shit game. Graphics =/= good games.
>>336211449
>Implying toukiden didn't get mixed reviews because it was an ass port
This is fucking MH, the only reason any of the other hunters sell at all on console or PC is because people want to play MH but can't because capcom is retarded so they do buy these shit games.
The west will not shut up about PC and console versions of MH games because thats literally the market here, not this handheld bullshit.
>>336211593
>the only reason any of the other hunters sell at all on console or PC
These games dont sell period.
>>336211041
No, you can't say the same. The issue here is relativism. If you had to release the series on a handheld, relative to the alternatives of the time, the psp was the best choice. Today that choice is the vita, yet the game is 3ds exclusive because nintendo realized that millions of crazed fanboys are worth moneyhatting.
>>336211639
>Today that choice is the vita
Yeah I totally want my multiplayer focussed game to be released on a dead handheld that nobody owns.
>>336211630
They sell enough, MH would sell better. 3 sold fairly well on the Wii-u of all things, are you really going to act like a port of MHX or some shit wouldn't at least sell well enough to justify its minimal effort development? Stop being naive.
>>336211745
>MH would sell better
Questionable.
It didnt sell on the PS2, it barely sold on the Wii and WiiU.
It sold more on handhelds both in the west and the east.
>>336211740
Outselling the 3ds in japan, the only place where handhelds matter, isn't dead. Having more games and more dev support isn't dead. Furthermore, 14 million people isn't nobody. Nonetheless, circular reasoning. Fewer people own the system because it doesn't have a popular game like mh that sells 4-5 million guaranteed with every entry no matter how shitty it is.
>>336211639
>because nintendo realized
Nah, Capcom realized that's where the money was.
>>336211864
I agree. Why release your game on vita when you can sell the same amount of copies on 3ds and have nintendo pay you for it too?
>>336211639
Too bad the Vita is less popular worldwide, and almost dead in the west, compare to the 3DS.
Capcom just realised that they will make more money on the 3DS.
>>336211829
>Outselling the 3ds in japan
excuse me
>>336211964
>same amount of copies
>implying vita sales are anywhere near 3DS sales
>implying Nintendo pays Capcom for this
>implying implications
>>336212152
But dont forget the exclusive contract thats gonna run out any minute and several other sony fanboy memes!
>>336212245
Honestly, cross-platform would be the best way to slice this autism pie
>>336211985
Still circular reasoning. The vita doesn't have millions of extra mh users because the vita doesn't have mh. In addition, consider the series before it moved to 3ds. The psp was also considered dead in the west compared to the ds, yet it was successful.
>>336211992
Google, vita has been outselling the 3ds pretty regularly in japan. However, fanboys change the frame of reference to make nintendo look better. Nintendo has massively popular series that each sell millions of copies on 3ds, whereas sony has nothing. Saying that nintendo is more popular overall is a moot point; sony couldn't possibly be more popular unless people stopped liking nintendo, which is highly unlikely and beyond sony's control. Are you really that surprised that a library of games like neptunia and god eater is less popular than animal crossing and mario?
>>336212152
Who are you quoting? Mh on 3ds has similar performance to mh on psp. Stop with the circular reasoning. The vita has fewer mh users because the vita doesn't have mh. If it had mh, it would have more users. Nintendo definitely pays for exclusivity. There's no reason not to port to vita, especially with the predominance of the monster hunting genre on it. A lot of mh fans have vitas to play ge, toukiden, freedom wars, ss, ragnarok, etc. There was no legitimate reason to abandon sony unless you actually believe that stupid conspiracy that someone was so butthurt about p3rd that they cut all ties.
>>336212636
Nah, it really wouldn't.
>>336212683
>There's no reason not to port to vita
Yeah there is.
Capcom is cheap, they know MH sells.
Porting to Vita requires work.
You think Capcom wants to actually put effort into anything?
Like seriously you believe that?
>>336212717
Explain why not? What does MH as a series gain (Besides a centralized profit for both nintendo and capcom) from staying on the 3DS exclusively?
>>336212842
That's not a reason to not port to vita, that's just saying Capcom is a shitty company
>>336212683

Vita 4,5mil
You fanboy retard.
>>336212852
Userbase doesnt get split.
>>336212842
Knowing how important mh is, how can you accuse capcom of being cheap but abandon this idea when it's convenient for your argument? If capcom is cheap, they would realize that a delayed mh port would make them even more money by getting users to double buy enhanced ports (like they already do) AND get sony to pay them for it too. There is only one possible reason that mh4 shouldn't be multiplatform. Mh fans will buy anything, so releasing it for vita would just split the userbase. However, that only discourages same day releases. Just like pc ports, a vita port would be a cash cow.
>>336212974
Good job, you proved my point.
>fanboys change the frame of reference to make nintendo look better
>Are you really that surprised that a library of games like neptunia and god eater is less popular than animal crossing and mario?
Less popular doesn't mean it doesn't outsell the 3ds at all.
>>336213041
What about Cross-platform multiplayer? What about porting to anything other than vita?

Enough with your shitposting. Last response you're getting.
This thread is garbage and so are you.
>>336213215
A WiiU type of port would be possible.
Given how 3U and 4U sold more on the 3DS than on the WiiU even in the west I wouldnt expect something like that anytime soon though.
>>336213380
That's because no one bought a WiiU. The good games it has only appeals to a niche market of gamers. That is the only reason why sales weren't good for it.
>>336213305
Stop changing the frame of reference to suit your argument. Here's what you're doing. You're looking at popularity solely from a lifetime basis. Instead of looking at multiple points in time, you only consider this one perspective. The reason you do this is because it makes nintendo look better. As I said earlier, are you really surprised that sony's handheld library is less popular? On a lifetime basis, it CANNOT be more popular. Neptunia will never outsell animal crossing. God eater will never outsell mario. Every nintendo handheld will always be more popular than every sony handheld because nintendo is more popular than sony. No matter what games they release, it cannot be more popular. Even if sony somehow got exclusive series like ace attorney or etrian odyssey, nintendo is simply too popular for sony platforms to outsell them over a lifetime. The psp was massively successful for a new entry handheld, yet the ds still sold 70 million more units than it.
Why does this matter? Because if you refuse to look at any time reference, you are essentially saying that only lifetime sales matter. This is a problem because you devalue weekly or monthly performance, ie make it impossible for sony to ever be considered as better. This is why you are a fanboy; you only consider one perspective instead of all of them.
Multiple time frames should be considered because they matter more to gamers. 1/2
>>336213565
MH didnt sell on the PS2 and it didnt sell on the Wii.
Not sure why you'd think that it would sell on any of the dudebro machines where only FIFA and GTA gets any sort of sales.
>>336209289
Capcom doesn't want to spend money in making a new engine for MH. That's why we'll never see a new MH in a console more powerfull than the NX.
>>336213840
Because at the time, the only version that released for the PS2 in the US was the first monster hunter. An extremely obscure game that didn't have nearly the same cult following it has now.
>>336213804
cont. Does it matter to me that mario is more popular than every ip on vita combined? No, because popularity is a fucking meaningless metric in this regard. Cod is popular; that doesn't make it good. Popularity is the most meaningless shit that only fanboys care about, so why even talk about it? Because on a week to week or month to month basis, differences in popularity can convey meaningful information. The vita regularly outsells the 3ds on a weekly and monthly basis in japan. What information does this convey? Knowing that sony can't be more popular long term, it suggests that a wide variety of games were released in this time frame. If nintendo releases even one game, it will often be the #1 title for multiple weeks in a row. When mh4 came out, the 3ds outsold the vita for several months in a row. That's because there isn't a single ip on vita that could ever become more popular than mh. Even a great combination of games won't beat out the popularity of mh. Does that mean the vita is bad? Does that mean sony has failed? No, it doesn't mean fucking shit because sony or any other dev couldn't possibly produce an ip as popular as mh. In case you haven't noticed lately, most games released on handhelds aren't multi million sellers. There's the nintendo ips, mh, and youkai watch. That's about it really. Please, take your head out of your ass and realize how biased you are. You have created a scenario where sony is always wrong. Please try to be more objective.

>being this gay you write an essay on the chan

I don't why certain companies released games exclusively to specific regions. I'm pretty sure everyone wants to play it, just look at Halo Online.
>>336214487
localization, marketing, distribution all take time and money that they might not see a return on
>>336214325
>last response you're getting
You're not even trying anymore.
>>336214701
Not even the same guy.
>>336214538
If it was going to make it's money plus more in China, why not just release it in the west for extra money? Just don't advertise it, bloggers will take care of that.
>>336214806
inb4 (you) screencap
>>336214538
In cases where the demand for the game is as high as it is, they clearly would be getting returns
>>336214154
you're just explaining capcom's decision. If a wide variety of games is released for vita, but they fail to overtake the 3DS game releases, which are far more sparse, then capcom is looking at the option of going into a market with more competition from other titles, and less guaranteed sales, or an emptier lineup, which grants them more space in marketing and increases focus on their product, and statistically higher sales. Playing percentages, they need to appeal to a smaller demographic of 3ds owners to sell more than what it would on vita.
Mainline monster hunter games have been released on nintendo consoles for almost a decade now. Maybe some monster hunter fans who would be willing to buy the next mainline game own a vita, but anyone who plans to buy the next mainline game will be expected to have a 3ds.
This is ignoring the extra costs for resources on the more technologically advanced vita, or the fact that nintendo was the distributor for monster hunter in less popular markets, which diminishes the risk even more for capcom
>>336214832
because localization and hosting servers aren't free and they most likely have market analysis or playtester feedback that makes them decide that it's not worth the effort of releasing it in other markets. Not advertising it would be an extremely risky move that I doubt a company as big as capcom would attempt. I'm not sure how many bloggers, or the casual audience that follow them, fall within the intended audience of a grind-heavy action rpg like monster hunter.
>>336214981
How high is it? Do you have actual numbers of potential players? Do you have the cost of localization, marketing, distribution and the online framework for such a project, and how much you would need to maintain it?
>>336209289
You shouldn't expect anything else from a Japanese developer.
>>336215747
I guess in the case of MHO, it's more on Tencent's part since they are the driving force behind the development and simply asked Capcom to use the MH licenses.
Which is great from Capcom, since they don't have to lift a finger regardless of the outcome.
So if Tencent wants to do the localization and hosting they can probably go and do so, unless Capcom says no filthy gaijin allowed.Which is quite possible.
>>336211829
You realized that it's basically a year away from not even being produced right? It's already stopped in some European countries.
>>336215747
Considering that in the US alone, gaming is such a cultural phenomenon that it rivels the movie business in shear revenue. With that kind of player/fan base (depending on the game) that's more than enough to spend money on localization, distribution and marketing.
>>336215976
I'm fairly sure that's what happened. For what ever reason, they publicly announced that they had no plans to localize outside of china. Regardless of the fact that there was demands from thousands of fans who were active enough to sign petitions and join large forums and discussions.
>>336209289
Shut up Brad
>>336217479
ayyyyy thanks senpai
>>336217431
Wouldn't be surprising.
Not like it's the first time Capcom's been a prick about localization.
>>336209289
>It's a Sonygger shitposts because he has no games episode
>>336217431
"No plans to localize" doesn't mean never ever, it's just a wishywashy PR catchphrase. Not saying they're actually going to do it, but there are never any plans until they make the plans.
