We're talking about Tri, not Frontier.
I'm up for watching Ari_Gold eat the crowage.
Yes.

It might be to the PS2 and PS1 players that have been overshot this generation.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

The game should manage to sell an additional 1 million in the west, making the total just over 2 million which is respectable. This is a relatively known ip, and Nintendo really seems to be pushing it. It's not like it's Little King Story where it's a niche title that few know about.
We shall see how well it does. Obviously Nintendo is marketing it and Capcom has been handing out free trials of the game. Its not like they aren't trying. However, the series is not exactly popular in America. I'm expecting it to do better than most other Monster Hunter series in America, but not 'good'. Probably around 200,000-400,000. Respectable for a third party Wii game, but probably still not as good as Nintendo and Capcom wanted.
Basically, its going to be Dragon Quest all over again. If they really want the series to do well, it'll be a long haul and take multiple titles to make the series 'popular'. Hey, much like Dragon Quest! Which...SquareEnix gave up on. A lesson Nintendo is learning right now with Dragon Quest IX!
Six upcoming games you should look into:
"However, the series is not exactly popular in America."
That doesn't prove it won't be. Why do so many of you think this is the same situation as the past games?

It's not really accessible unless it's intuitive. I'm betting the controls will hamper this game. While I think a game like this looks awesome. I think I would rather see Monster Hunter 4 : Tokyo :P people hunt awoken monsters in the middle of the major city. Roof top battles on sky scapers against giant birds :P |
The controls are fine. Camera is smoother than Galaxy's, and the basic combat is smooth enough. The only thing that would really make it click would be lock-on, and more importantly lock-on strafing of some sort, to center your combat on the monster you want. That's the only frustration i experienced from the demo so far, that i would try a jump slash in one direction and the monster would attack in a completely different direction.
It was actually kinda funny, the Jaggi and i just kinda attacking in random directions, neither of us really fixed on the other.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Because in many ways it is still (for Western gamers) a niche title - there are some things in this series that make it inaccessible/unfriendly to the mass market (note I am saying mass market, NOT casual gamers).
That said, I am not saying it won't do better, I hope it will - I am just trying to explain why some people don't expect it to do better in the west than past games in the series.
