Why do people keep saying "Monster Hunter 5"? World IS Monster Hunter 5. It's being made by the team that made 4, and they consider it a mainline entry. People need to get over that fact. It's either a Worlds port, or a continuation of the terribly lazy side series they've been doing for mobile for a few years. Considering how terrible Generations is, the best I could hope for is a Worlds port.

Why isn't it called 5 then? They say they don't want to intimidate newcomers with a numbered sequel, but that sure as hell didn't stop them from making "4" on the 3DS.

In fact, it would probably sell better if it were called 5...

Why would it have to be called 5 to be a legit sequel though? That's just an illogical way of thinking. Monster Hunter World is a much more descriptive name that easily establishes the concept of a big open world-ish Monster Hunter. It's the same kind of naming scheme they did for Generations.
