Anyway on topic, Monster Hunter WILL NEVER be as popular in the West as it is in Japan. Monster Hunter is a hit over there because it caters to that market (button mashing, really cool attacks with very little input by user, creative monster designs etc) where as western markets prefer different things. It's the same reason why Dynasty Warriors and anything Gundam is loved over there and loathed here, it's designed for that market and it sells there. Same as why Halo sells well in the West but not in japan, it's just not their type of game. |
If Americans don't like button mashing, what do they like?
