Oh ... Well thanks for clearing that up ...

I don't think an auto targeting system is necessary but it would make things a LOT more comfortable on handhelds ...

I don't get it either. It's not even frustrating. Just boring.

btw how did you get to play it already? Is the demo already available?

There's no shame in admitting that I'm a noob.

Lets not forget the best part of the game, kicking your fellow hunters at the end of a mission so they cant get the rewards from the monster you just hunted =P

Yeah, I agree that the controls would be A LOT better on the vita but I think the deals that Nintendo made with Capcom are the limiting factor there plus they don't think their losing much in the end since the vast majority of the playerbase is already on the 3DS ...

I tried it for the first time when I got Freedom Unite for free on PS+ and didn't liked it. It's pure grinding, story is terrible, there is an annoying excess of text trying to explain everything and not allowing you to play, it was a chore to simply try to play it.

However, I enjoyed a lot Soul Sacrifice. It still is grinding based, but the story was good and it kept me hooked up. The fact that it was a Vita game and I could control the camera with the right stick was a game changer too, moving the camera with the D-pad was an absolute mess on MH. And these hunter games always, always have a tricky camera, so being able to control it is vital. I'm always enjoying Freedom Wars a lot, so that's basically my history with hunting games.

And they can re-use the PSP assets and won't suffer with increased costs.

You are such a terrible person Wright.

Something must be decent in these gam...

*ahem* *ahem*

Yeah, I don't like Monster Hunter that much either, and not because of archaic design, but mostly because these games are just too slow. You can't sprint apparently (only played Monster Hunter Tri), so it just makes the game a bit tired for me.

And well, I love grinding, so maybe my issue with this Capcom franchise for me lies in the controls.
