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.
|
So where are we going with this convo?
I don't understand what online being a major draw, which I conceded to, has to do with knowing what you're getting yourself into, and the game being the same?
|
Why pay 20 dollars... for a gimped version of something you have to pay 50 dollars for?
That's just adding 70 dollars on to the price if you like it.
Spending 20,(though i've seen it more expensive) so incase you hate it you save 30... is only a net of 10.
It seems rather pointless, a waste of time... and makes the final purchase less fresh.
|
Or, you could spend fifty bucks, and not like the game at all.
