Who plays MH by themselves? For sure I'm buying the game mostly for online...and other people are too. Yeah, I'll play the singe player, but that's not the main attraction. |
I did.
I played them single-player and loved it, and poured over 150 hours into it.

Yet you seem to be in the minority on that if we're to believe why the PSP version did better then the PS2 one.
I know that's why i didn't get a PS2 version. Was told lots of monsters couldn't be beaten solo.
So it seemed pointless to buy.

It's harder, but not impossible.
Of course many games are easier with more than one person.
|
Yet the PSP version was a lot more popular, which would mean people are mostly buying it for online, no?
|
I'm not too sure. Could be a multitude of reasons. Portability, being the most likely.
But the PS2 monster hunters were online games too, therefore they should have sold more.
@ Kasz
Seeing as that it is an online enabled game in JP, and isn't in the west, I'd suspect that playing with someone else would be a major draw.

Hence the point... MH3 will be online enabled in the US as far as i know....
Hence... major draw?
Since 50% of the japanese fanbase ONLY play it online... and wouldn't play it singleplayer if it wasn't available.
The article also apparently shows why it's on the Wii.
Monster Hunter has a large female base... and is considered a casual game in japan.
