that was my main issue with monster hunter, it didnt really give me a goal so i didnt have a drive to learn how to play it. If this isn't a "here are some missions just upgrade yourself" and actually has a story like how the name suggests, then I'll be interested in it for sure

I'm not a MH fan but it does look interesting so I looking forward to seeing some gameplay.

This statement is false. The previous statement is true.

RIP in peace Nintendo.

It does look interesting but it screams mobile port could be in the works too.

Looks good... probably too good for a 3DS, even NEW 3DS?

Am i the only one feeling that this looks too good for 3DS?

Conflicted.

On one hand, MH spinoffs aren't usually that great. On the other, it sounds like they've been working on this for awhile, so it should be good.

Then again, it also sounds like this is trying to occupy the same space as pokemon and yokai watch, which sounds like a really bad idea given the stranglehold on that subgenre.

For the most part, the artstyle looks nice, but then why is that cat so ugly?! MH has enough ways for felynes to look, so how come the cat looks like it's trying to be a person?

I've always been against the notion of riding monsters into battle in MH, as I don't think it would mesh well with MH's gameplay. For a more standard RPG, guess you can do whatever you want, so no big deal. It sounds like this is their way of exploring the idea without forcing it into the main series. More power to you in that case.

But I'm not sure I can handle having a rathalos under me without stabbing it to death and carving it for materials in a blood rage...

Also, odds of this coming west are pretty damn low. Think the last spinoff game that came west was a really bare bones mobile game.

Omg it looks amazing! But why isn't it called Monster Hunter 5G instead?

Ah whatever, hoping for this one to be a New 3DS exclusive to take full advantage of that hardware! I love all the potential new game mechanics they showed!

Also, to those who haven't played Monster Hunter yet...

GO BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
