Here's what doesnt make sense. 3DS has been out for some time and it has been known that MH would be on it. Vita just released and as of now there isnt going to be a MH on it. My thing is if these people opted to get the Vita ANYWAY, then they are just plain stupid and letting their hatred of Ninty or whatever blind them

Has nothing to do with hatred or fanboyism. Just pure preference.

Vita has much better specs than the 3DS and that alone is what decides it for some people.

There's a Monster Hunter game on Xbox 360. That doesn't mean MH fans went out and bought one just for that......


what does that have to do with anything? Im a KH fan and yes Vita has better specs, but thats not stopping me from getting KH 3D when it comes out on 3DS, because im a fan of the series not the hardware.  MH is really popular in Japan, 360 not so much, of course people werent going to buy it. Not when there were 3 other viable systems to play it on.

There are these people called Tech Geeks.

thats fine, but would they really miss out on a game in a series they are supposed to love just because its on a system thats "inferior", by that logic they should not want it on Vita anyway, since a PS3 version would be better looking and more powerful. Hell why stop there, they should want it on PC

OMFG!!! how many times do I say the say it before it sinks into you guys thick skulls, THE PS3 IS NOT PORTABLE!!!!!!! and the closest you'll get to a portable ps3 is a *wait for it* VITA!!

I'm not gonna buy a damn wii to play the incredibly shit version of Call of Duty becasue I love Call of Duty, no I'll stick to the much better versions on the console I own, now when the Next COD comes out and for what ever reason it's exclusive to a console that truly enhances the experience I'll get it or at the very lest consider it

what part of that don't you people get, I don't see how this is so hard to understand


First of you need to calm down and take a weed pill or something, its not that serious.

2nd your entire second paragraph is nonsense. There is NO better version of MH4, thats the entire point. If your a fan of that franchise and want to play the newest game, you have only two choices, buy the damn 3DS or dont. its really simple. its obvious you are not the one getting it. BUt i look forward to seeing how you counter this.



Monster Hunted on the Vita would've been much better. I would love to see Capcom harness the Vitas power. I dont even want a 3DS so yeah, one game  isn't getting me to buy a 3DS.

Yes, that's why I wrote "income". Kids in the world's richest countries have way more disposable money today than their parents had 20 or 30 years ago.

And I remember all of this because I simply have a good memory. No worry, I don't stalk people, I just rarely forget what I read. Like TWRoO, famousringo, Rol and a few others of the ancient members I sometimes remember what some people posted even years ago. The Euro football final currently takes place and I exactly remember what barozi and I where discussing four years ago when our German national team just had lost the 2008 Euro final to Spain (the team which will win the title again today). Also, I read way more than I post. When you'll be making your post # 10.000 in a few days (hours?) after only around 8 months as VGC member, I'll be at # 3.770 or something like that after more than 5 years on the site. Plus, you are one of the more memorable new members. Yes, this was a compliment.

Well thank you!

I try to be a good member of this Community. Being a good and memorable VGChartian is a big part of holding the title VGChartian.

Wow, your memory is outstanding! :o

People saying they wont buy a console for one game, the thing about this situation is that these are diehard fans of the series saying this. At least, they claim to be. The fact that they are saying "I don't want to buy a 3DS for this game" and calling it an inferior device that cannot produce a full MH experience is just... stupid and ignorant. Especially when they played the PSP version of the game.


So many assumptions in that post...


No, it's not "assuming" many things, I am referring to a specific group of people.  There are some people who can't afford it, and then there are those who may or may not be able to afford it, but wouldn't buy a game they want otherwise whether or not they had the money for it.  People are saying that they would never get it and only want it on the Vita or something along those lines.  


See i dont really agree with some of this, just because you are not willing to buy a system just for one game doesnt mean that person isnt a true fan. My firend loves RE, he bought just about all of them. THose weird online ones for PS2 and thsoe silly rail shooters and im not talking about the Wii/PS3 ones either.  But he's not gonna buy a 3DS just for one game. I dont even think he has the funds to do so. But he didnt insuly 3DS with talks of specs, thats were the fanboynish comes from


I think this is more of a debate on what constitutes a real fan, and I agree that it's possible for a real fan to not bash a system and not buy the game their a fan of on a console just for one game.  It really depends on many things, but I think this topic isn't about those people.  It's about the ones who ARE doing the bashing.

I still think you're missing what Oni's trying to say though. Whether they buy the console or not is not what determines it. What determines it is the reasons for not buying the console and that one game. If it's money, I think we can all understand that. But if its because of specs or some bs like that, then you know the answer to this.

only there's no logic in that at all, that's just you saying shit to justify owning a weaker maching, but you keep telling yourself that, it'll never be true but it won't stop you believing it is

You are a pure example of OP. Hats off. On top of that, you again moved the goalposts. The point isn't to justify my owning a weaker machine, the point is to say some people will not follow a series because it is not on their favored platform and make excuses for it (you included).

The point is, if you are a fan of a franchise, a TRUE fan, will you ignore it just because it is on a weaker platform from a graphics standpoint only (as your last point 4 mentioned, all a bunch of BS the rest was)? No, you wouldn't. But keep telling yourself it's Capcom's fault, keep on doing just that.

Don't worry though, I was just like you 13 years ago. Glad I grew out of it.

it's like talking to a brick wall, I give up

But there ISNT. Thats the point of the thread. So one more time, there are only two options for MH fans, buy the 3DS for the game or dont.
