| trangentspree said: Which is what I thought. You're basing your opinion on a handheld to home console comparison, which isn't fair. As the PS2 graph shows, it's a reasonably front loaded series that has seen by far the most success on the Wii console. Also there is a visibly (if marginal) stronger upward movement for MH3 than its predecessors. And I certainly don't see how one example (Monster Hunter Freedom Unite PSP) constitutes the 'standard performance' when the other titles show differently. |
I'm not trying to be "fair", what does "fair" have to do with the argument? It's true that Monster Hunter Tri was highly frontloaded, which means it had big hype but either it didn't live up to expectations or the enthusiasm for the game did not transfer to others well (if the game was niche, maybe). The game isn't niche in Japan though, so I think it's accurate to say that it probably didn't live up to the hype for Japanese gamers.
Maybe that's because they expected free online, or something, but either way that doesn't detract from my original point.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
