When Monster Hunter gets made for a non-Nintendo console I'll be more interested. I'd be much happier with a PS4/Xbone version with fully integrated online play.
Giving Soul Sacrifice some breathing room. Let's hope that now that MH4 is not coming in March, people will notice SS more and end up picking it up. So, they can localize it quicker.
I hope they take their time with MH4, so it could see those same sales the PSP versions have see and gone by.
To add in more platforming. =/_____\=
It much better to take time to polish it, rather than release half-assed game and get panned by critics and users.
not a problem for me, i still Monster hunter tri so as long as they keep the servers up til launch of monster hunter 4 then I’m good.
