I've played Monster Hunter if only enough to dislike it. I've also played earlier xeno games. Just because one is closed world and the other is open world doesn't really always represent a large difference in the way the games are played. I'm sure most would say Dragon's Dogma is an open world JRPG. It is and I wouldn't say that it isn't. Doesn't stop it from playing like Monster Hunter on crack. I would go as far as saying the only real difference between Dragon's Dogma and Monster Hunter would be cohesive world vs arena like stages and DD having way faster combat at least from the gameplay perspective. So forgive me for not trusting your opinion but I have footage and more than enough experience to make my own assessments until anyone can actually play the game which is that X looks like Monster Hunter with Mechs. |
I would say the biggest difference between the two is the gameplay. On MH and its clones your slashes are manually controlled by you. Xenoblade plays more like an MMO and your attacks are automated. You manually activate the special skills. I'm not sure combat like that would be akin to the monster hunter formula. There doesnt seem to be precision collision detection aswell... something that is given a huge importance on the other formula.
Nope, this cant be a hunting game. MMO RPG at worst.
