I have tried the demo on Wii U and I DETESTED it, really not something for me and I really dont understand how people enjoy it.

what do u mean kebabs are for losers? Such a strange option

That dual analog stick looks kind of meh to be honest.  Ill have to play with it before judging it though.  I didnt know it had 4 shoulder buttons.  That is a flaw on the vitas part.  if the Vita had 4 shoulder buttons it would be able to remote play PS4 games better.

Overall though, for the 3DS that is out right now, the Vita feels much better in my opinion.

It's really only popular in Japan.

There's good sales on the western part, though.

I love you so much for saying this. These are my exact feelings towards things like random encounters, necessary grinding, n' other unnacessarily annoying things that old japanese games suffer from and people praise them for. Just because it's old and a classic thing to do doesn't mean that it has aged well or is good in its own right.

Back on topic, personally, I haven't touched a single Monster Hunter game, but from the way you describe it and from what I've seen, it seems painful to play. I have no idea what's to be praised about it.

I've only played 3U on both platforms, but I loved it. Funny enough, I really couldn't stand it at first. I only got it because I have a close friend that loves the series, and would always talk about the PSP entries. When I first tried it, I didn't like the slow pace, didn't like how long it took to fight monsters, or how they didn't have health bars, didn't like having a million things to do and no idea what to start with.

After a while though, it hooked me. Once I found a comfortable weapon, got the hang of what items to craft, and learned about online co-op (at least on the Wii U version), I would find myself playing for multiple hour sessions. Now I just can't get enough of all the content, and the pace of battles helps to keep me immersed. It's much more interesting watching a monster's movements to try to figure out the best way to attack it, or how much health it has left, as opposed to just staring at its health gage the whole time. And once I finally take down the monster, using the equipment I carefully combined or crafted from items obtained in previous quests, nothing feels more satisfying.

It definitely isn't a game for everyone, but I wouldn't write it off either. It takes a big time commitment, but if you can manage that, it's one of the most addicting games out there IMO.

Well when I first saw MH I thought that it was a bad game, with... I don't know, I tried MH3 on wii and I felt like playing a game in a little box with all those loading screens between map sections, and the battles were.. well I didn't like it I must say, I didn't think that it was a bad game, but it was kinda empty and mediocre, that's what I thought. But a friend kept telling me to continue playing and to try the online.

Then I battled with friends online and it was cool, that sense of satisfaction you get when you beat one of those giant monsters, after using some strategies and crafted weapons n items. It really feels like hunting, I think that's why people like it.
