| Wyrdness said: I think it's more you think you have right to not have someone respond to you tbh and it's contributing to you failing to even read what is being said to you because if you read properly you'd know that that I'm pulling you on using vague similarities to push an argument in saying two different games can have the same appeal so your dictionary part and all that is not only null and void you've literally thrown in a response to your own failure to understand the replies I'm not sure if you don't understand what vague similarities means or if you're just skim reading the posts. You're free to think what you want just as I'm free to think you're one of these people who thinks they can post something and not have it responded to I'll say the same thing to you as I do to others who get ruffled, this is a forum if you don't like someone replying to you don't post, notice how your only response is about preferred platforms when not one part of any of this debate was about wanting it on any platforms or even comparing platforms that's a sign on your part of your defensiveness ironically a sign of ego as well, I don't sugar coat things and won't for you either don't like it don't respond I'm having a discussion with you but doesn't mean I'll baby you in replies that's how debates are, someone else even highlighted my point as well in how they found out the game was drastically different from what appealed to them and what further backs my stance is the historical performance of the series in the west. No the problem isn't that I assume you don't know how grinding works the problem is that you're overestimating the potential appeal and using vague examples to try and build a case at which point I point out the flaw, BB and DS have grinding but non on the scale of MH and I've already highlighted that similarities in HZD are vague at best. True MH3rd didn't come to the west but then Tri and the PS2 games did every non portable version has failed to take off even though Tri did better than usual but then even on portable the sales in the west are still only luke warm as well. |
No, I am happy to admit mistakes but I don’t know if I can say the same thing for you. I want a healthy discussion but problem with you is you love to cherry pick examples to suit your arguments. For example using games like Monster Hunter Frontier, MH3rd PS3 and the first two MH on the PS2, MH WIiU.
PS2 yes the install base is larger but you are forgetting that not all PS2 has a built-in network adapter. MH is not a popular series before as well. You should know it better than me.
Monster hunter frontier is an MMO.
PS3 MH is Japan only. Its irrelevant with our discussion about the west? Also not considering that it is a port of PSP MH portable 3rd.
WiiU MH- WiiU failed no more explanation needed.
The only comparable MH games is from Wii and to some extent 3DS.
Wii fanbase are erratic. Mostly consist of owners that loves Wii Sports or casual games. There's not a lot of heavily multiplayer games.
3DS more popular in Japan. PS4 and XBO more popular in the west. Do I need to explain more?
3DS closed area, PS2 Graphics.
MHW Open areas, seamless, HD GFX. With the information that we know so far it’s a great leap from the previous MH
We still don't have a proper metrics for MH in the west because this is the first time an MH that is build from the ground for home console and in the west in mind.
My understanding from the word vague is unclear and indefinite. HZD has a clear similarities with MHW. I know HZD and MHW are not comparable because they are two different games and they are not the same but to ignore they have something similar is a different matter. You are acting I cannot use that as an example because in your own definition they are not similar. Why HZD cannot have the appeal of monster hunter when Monster Hunter does it best? What stopping Horizon Zero Dawn owners from liking the game? You still haven't explained that clearly. I already provided explanations why they are similar it's your time explaining why they don't share a similarities at all or or why you think it's vague similarities.
The same can be said with Soulsbourne fans. What stopping Soulsbourne fans from liking the game? Both will test your patience, both have the same combat style. The difference is most of the time you will play with your friends in MHW so the insane grind you are talking about can be potentially off set with playing with friends.
