Theres some really fascinating interviews doing the rounds with the devs saying "no microtransactions and no easy more to skip. its not about a story its about the achievment of killing the monsters with friends" and boy were the western journos not happy with the answer.

Hehehe. Seems like someone is afraid of the consequences of this.

"you mean like, you can do a game, a good game, and you don't need to put lootboxes into it for money, so you mean people buy it because it's just good?"

I don't really know, this is madness!

[dope_danny]

The irony of course is western AAA has spent over ten years saying 'niche markets are too small to cater to' but marketing to 10% of players who are whales is doing just that.

Let’s not forget capcom can be pretty shit. Keep an eye out for when 6 arrives and world is popular.

Capcoms shitty but in different ways to the west. In the west companies like EA think "how much raw profit can this one retail release make us?" but capcoms more like "how much brand synergy can we get out of this ip in the next year for as little work as possible". Which still leads to constant rereleases but i'll take RE4 on the switch over lockboxes in REmake 2.

I have a question for you guys.

What would you think about a screen at the end of each hunt showing the "Damage Done" of all party members? (i think Dauntless have this)

Part of me thinks it would be cool. But the other half fears that it would bring toxicity to the game.
I fear it would bring some of the toxic elitist behavior we see in WoW to Monster Hunter.

But the other half of me thinks it could be cool xD ahah i'm confusing myself

What makes it "pretty good" in Dauntless is that it doesn't actually explain anything. You get a "Master of the Hunt" screen, but then you have generic ranks for everything (gold, silver, bronze) that give you only limited info and considers also the gear you're sporting. Something too detailed would just open up the flood of "BUT THIS WEAPON DOES 0.01% MORE DAMAGE IT'S OP" and "HAI GUSY WHAT?S BEST WEPONZ", which simply put is more detrimental than anything.

I'm all in for something that tells you what you did good and what not to improve your playstyle.

Not to be rude but fuck no leave that shit to MMO's were people need to feel like their dicks big.

Nah, I don't think it would add anything of value to the game and would make shit very toxic. The MH community (while toxic at times) for the most part is about helping each other, not competing with each other. I fear something like that would ruin the community.

Exactly. Monhun: "the party only moves as fast as its slowest member" MMORPGS: "fuck all of you this is my glory you are just vectors to facilitate it, be grateful"

Yeah that was my first thought. It would be cool to see us do better each hunt and the information could help us improve our playstyle.

But on the other hand, you are right, MH is about friendship and helping eachother. I've never seen a better community than MH (at least on PS2 times)
Well at the end some guys were very spoiled and only wanted to do rathalos and rathian IF you could Headlock.
Low levels saying to me "i only join if you can headlock". -_-
But apart from that it was a very happy community and you would see high levels helping lower levels ALL the time.

So...i guess it would be a bad thing to add. Just because it would create some toxicity.

Yeah it would create a toxic environment like WoW i'm sure.
But it could be cool to see you improve and check information to change your playstyle.

I dont want any salt in my MH
Most hunts with 4 players are easy AF anyway.
