Monster hunter world collab

[Berethos]

Event though the trailer literally shows Summer 2018 and that the assets are possibly already in the game as we seen them in the game engine?

Might want to read the post I was responding to (sarcastically but in good natured humor) and try your own response again, chief.

It's not like I was clearly referencing the 10 year troubled development of FFXV, with poking a bit of fun at the last minute delay by two additional months, and attaching it to the FFXV+FFXIV potential collab that was last talked about in 2016, or anything like that. Nope, nothing at all in my post clearly gives that impression.

Eh. The Monster Hunter games have virtually no story and no real appealing characters

No one plays Monster Hunter for that or was it ever about that. The type of game it is in the title you hunt monsters.
You beat up giant monsters and get badass armor from beating giant monsters to show off.

The beating up is dull, and the armor is ugly. MH started out as a PS2 game over fifteen years ago, and its mechanics only now are starting to escape that. I recommend playing horizon zero dawn sometime, which also has the "kill big critters" theme but it much more story driven with a better world.

Having watched someone playing Horizon:Zero Dawn and dabbled in MHW...No...They are not alike.

This is subjective and varies from person-to-person. Though if you are playing MH for the story yeah I will agree that it is lack luster, but thankfully it is not a game that is based around story. Also Zero Dawn is a far cry from MH.

Certainly better than most of the armor we've gotten in the past year or so, so I'd welcome some of it in this game.

I wouldn't mind the rugged aesthetic most MH armors have for my tank glams, since I prefer that to a knightly look for a female Xaela.

It would be great if this collab ended up as expansive as the Garo one with unique armor sets and weapons for each role/job, though.

Yeah HZD doesn't focus solely on episodes with one monster that takes 45 minutes to kill, and it has much better combat because it's less about using a very ungainly weapon and more about traps or tactical use of mobs and elemental weakness. But it takes a lot from MH and improves it; the triplines and rope caster are far more useful and strategic than any tools in MH, and its able to do a lot more with its world. Why cart when you can program a ride?

I'm not a fan of the gameplay either. That particular genre always seems to try to do too much, and ends up making the game too complicated to get into a flow state for most people. God Eater and Freedom Wars suffer from the same issues too. The JP focus so much on packing the game with a bunch of different systems that they don't nail the core gameplay nearly as well as they think they do. It's kind of why they never really designed a decent FPS till Splatoon, for example. There's always stuff like sharpening weapons, or meta gear solid's stupidly complex QTE flow system.

And honestly, can we all assume people are being subjective when they talk about stuff like this?

Implying Vanquish isn't the best (and arguably only good) third person shooter out there.

it should only take 10-15 minutes to kill a monster 25 minutes at worst even the big monsters shouldn't take that long unless your severely under geared
>and it has much better combat because it's less about using a very ungainly weapon
Opinion and not all weapons are ugly
>and more about traps or tactical use of mobs and elemental weakness.
there are traps in MH and every monster has there own set of elemental weaknesses
>But it takes a lot from MH and improves it
it really doesn't since it plays nothing like MH

you haven't played MH much but you act like you know the ins and out of every game, you're entitled to your opinion but your stating things as facts and that others peoples opinions don't matter.
