Dash Bomber writes, "I’ve started noticing a trend in certain video games recently. Developers appear to believe that if you release a multiplayer online game they will maintain an extremely high player base if they release tiny bits of DLC throughout the following months of release. While this can be a noble goal in the case of certain games in which this DLC is free such as Monster Hunter, or Splatoon; in other cases such as the one with Evolve (which the entire game with DLC (aka season pass) costs about 150+ USD) it works as a way of milking the players of their hard-earned money (or parental units money’s). I fear that in the misguided attempts at extending the life cycle they are completely missing the fact that gamers are usually a fickle group."
I can't help but think this is Capcom's own doing. As much as I love it on the 3DS maybe it's time to release it on other consoles. And if you are going to do an mmo, release it in the west. 2 perfectly good mmos that doesn't look like they want to localize. This is one of my favorite games. >.< I really don't want to see it buried.
It's on life support because of Capcom's terrible decision to make it exclusive for the 3DS and Wii U. They have only themselves to blame for the decline and fall of the franchise.
um... monster hunter 4 ultimate has a very active online community even now.
l read the article. it goes on about fucking fps and evolve. Capcoms monster hunter is as unkillable as WoW is here in the west. Click bait about essentially the first sentance in that paragraph...
It's another case of Capcom pulling dick moves. I'm to the point of not wanting to support them anymore with my wallet. They chose the exclusive route for the Monster Hunter series, they let the Resident Evil series turn to crap, i can't remember if they have had any new IP in the last 10 years,... I wonder how they maintain any sort of significance in today's gamer market.

Does that sound like a game that's on life support to you?
The third and final part of Player2's look back on the year that was.
This game needs to come over here now!!!
Now that's sexy!
I hope this comes to the west.
And damn it Capcom - no love for Vita :(
Capcom at it's finest: announce an updated version of the same game that makes the current game completely obsolete less that 4 months post release.
I will only buy a 3ds xl if Capcom confirm to localize monster hunter 4 this year , or I will just stick with my Freedom Wars (vita)
