Capcom Designed Monster Hunter Wilds to Avoid Same Pitfalls as MH World

Capcom's data on previous Monster Hunter games reveal that some players don't even reach the hunting portion before quitting.

I like the concepts in MH (battle huge monsters, explore cool environments, customise your character), but I feel like it is a bit convoluted. The controls can feel odd and unintuitive, the combat is slow and clunky compared to other games, and there are a lot of different systems at play that can become confusing for new players. It can also be a real grind.

I think these barriers can all be overcome with enough time, practice, and patience but many people won't invest that initial frustrating 10-20hrs it can take before things click. From what I played of the beta it felt pretty similar to Worlds so I'm not sure they have really addressed these barriers to entry. Hey hopefully I'm wrong.

I hope they dont address them. The series used to be difficult, but after MH3 they made it easier for new players. Its never been an easy game and it would kill the series if this changed.

robtion91d ago

Okay. I wasn't suggesting removing the challenge. It's just I would rather battle the monsters and not the convoluted and clunky controls.

I so want to like this game. The trailers and idea of hunting down monsters really appeals to me but playing the beta was a bit overwhelming and the fighting was really weird, it's hack n slash but you gotta aim like a shooter? Also took me like 20 minutes to kill the introductory monster that kept running? Maybe I'll end up watching people play this game on Twitch instead.

robtion91d ago

Yeah that's what I was getting at. That seems to be the experience of many people trying to get into the series.

Yeah the hunts aren’t for everyone, the gameplay loop is not as fast paced as it looks on the surface. Monster hunter is like dark souls it has a very loyal fanbase that will tell you its the best franchise ever but its really just for the people who like that specific kind of grind

More games in development you say, Breath of Fire 3 and 4 remastered collection? Because that is what I am waiting for.

gold_drake6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

4 just came out for pc again.

not a remaster tho

FinalFantasyFanatic5d ago

I would buy remasters of 3 and 4 in a heartbeat, although GOG did make some improvements to the BOF4, it looks great for an old game.

CrimsonWing696d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Man, of everything they have remastered, I’d give them all up if it meant just getting these 2 remasters.

gold_drake6d ago

look, capcom has found a sweet spot for their games.

the RE engine is pretty amazing.

Goodguy016d ago

I wonder if they'll continue to make any new ace attorney and megaman games. They should definitely revisit breath of fire at some point, remaster em, pixel remaster. Please, something capcom.

neutralgamer19926d ago

I think they will continue to utilize all their IP's. They have found how to succeed and that's by making fun games
