Forums - Nintendo - Will the cost of online play affect your purchase of Monster Hunter 3?

Video_Game_Critic on 30 July 2009

I knew nothing about this game until about 3 or 4 months ago.  I am looking for a good RPG game for the Wii and this game does look interesting.  However, $20 for 3 months a little much.  My favorite RPG is Diablo II LoD, but I never bought World of Warcraft due to the $15/month fee.  This is better than WoW, but it is still not pleasant.  It is only needed for online play, but I think online is essential for all FPS and RPGs since the SNES.  I am surprised Capcom does not include a 12 month subscription price for around $50.  I am not sure if I still want such an expensive game.

Will the cost of online play affect your purchase?

EDIT:Typo.  Sigh.

What makes you think it will cost that much?



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Yeah, it'll probably be free in the West, since they did the same thing with Monster Hunters 1 & 2, plus the fact that they're trying to make it a bigger franchise in the west, something that pay-to-play is only going to hinder significantly



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

The Capcom boards have mods saying that Capcom isn't planning on paying for this in the US.

I am not sure.  Everyone knows how much money Blizzard makes off of WoW.

20$ for 90 days... hmm that means lots and lots and lots of fun hours.

Ill gladly pay that little sum.

No worse then other online games out there.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Did you just word that badly or are you saying it will be pay to play.

The Capcom boards have mods saying that Capcom is not planning on using a pay for play system in the US.
