1st:

If you have really played you will definetly see some similarities. When I saw the trailers on E3. The first thing came into my mind is MH. 
Guerilla games the one who developed HZD already telling people that MH is what inspired HZD. It seems you know way more than the developers then.  I mean , you hunt robo dinosaurs in the game. You gather material from the robo- dinosaur. Yes, it shared also similarities with Witcher 3. just like it shared some similarities with Tomb Raider. Just like it also shared similarities with Far Cry but you cannot also deny that it also similar to MH.

I will post this again.
“In Japan, the giant monster hunting action genre seems to be popular, so if people ask us whether we’ve been influenced by a particular title, I tell them frankly that we’ve gotten inspiration from Monster Hunter.”
 

Guerrilla Games even went on to further compare the two games. “Horizon: Zero Dawn may serve as an example of a Western hunting game,” said the developer.

Let's just ignored that fact because your opinion on the game is what matters. If the developer cannot convince you then I won't be able to convince you because your opinion = Fact. 


2nd: I added BB because you will need grind in the game as well. BB players is a prime example gamers that can withstand grinding. Playing souls games will test your patience is skills. In grinding you will need patience.

Also, When did I say that other Playstation are not diverse? Please don't put words in my mouth. I will obviously talk about PS4 because it's a current console that's out in the market. 
My point for the comparison is. Soulsborne audience will take a look at MHW. Horizon audience will take a look at MHW.  That's what I meant. 
PS4 has a diverse audience that can potentially buy the game. It may or may not. That's what Capcom is aiming for with MHW the potential audience for them to expand. PS4 is one of the key ingredient because of the install base it have today. 

3rd then I happy to say that I am wroing about some of my points.
But as for the grinding aspect. I don't know why you think western gamers won't adapt to it.
You will think. I am lying to you with this but my cousins are kids when they played PSP MH. PSP MH2 was from 10 years ago. Kids to be impatient and tends to brag.
I think we will need to agree to disagree on this point because you are too focus on  the grinding aspect. You will need to grind yes but you seem to ignore that having to hunt and plays with friends is also fun, MHW will have a more story focused MH. Making it more seemless is a plus. Great Graphics. 

You're taking vague similarities to say the games are the same under your logic Dead Space and Silent Hill are the same because you fight mutant monsters in both, having vague similarities doesn't mean that both games are going to have the same appeal that argument is beyond naive and borders on begger's belief.

Another naive view from you is the quote you're clinging onto do you not know what the concept of being influenced or inspired because I'll be blunt and tell you it doesn't mean the games are the same or have the same appeal, Doom and Wolfenstein 3D the original FPS' for example were inspired and influenced by Super Mario Bros on the NES according to Carmack's own words does that mean SMB and FPS have the same appeal? No it's not an opinion it's an objective state of things no where does that quote say the game is exactly like MH and plays like it, it just says is the game is inspired by it know what context is.

Again another example of you trying to use vague similarties with the BB example which has been debunked,  both Smash and Street Fighter are fighting games for examples but playing one doesn't mean the other will have the same appeal because the applications are very different same goes with BB and MH. The latter requires far more grinding than the former and this is before we come to the drastic difference in gameplay and approach when doing the grinding.

You can talk only about the PS4 if you want it doesn't change the fact that MH was on diverse platforms before it, you know why I don't think western audience won't adapt to it because they've already shown they won't before the online crowd in the west are the people into COD and all, they want want to get online and have instant action not go co-op to grind this is the major flaw in your argument.
