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 game 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?

What makes you think Monster Hunter 3 is better than WoW? Have you played it?

OT: Yes it will affect because I won't buy it if I have to pay per months.

Typo.  Sigh.

if I was interested in buying the game in the first place, yes, I wouldn't buy it if i had to pay to play. I only spend 30-50 a month on gaming, so it would mean buying no new games.

 

My thoughts exactly.

Well, this game is what made consider wii, if get a wii to play i won't mind do pay 20$ per 3 months. This game will be awesome, but think, this should be pretty expensive to capcom to manutance servers to a game just with possible legs.

I'm already likely to pass this one up. Pay-to-Play would be the nail in that coffin.

IS there local multiplayer?

I would like to try online first. If it's worth it no more than $4 a month. This is a non exapandle game. The experience is all hardcoded onto the disc. So no new maps or anything. The best we will see are unique objectives. When I pay for WoW at the ludicrious price of $15 a month I expect to get new content. The upcoming WoW patch will be offering new Dungeons, gear and other collectables.

So what will MH3 offer me at $8 a month?



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

Not if i made to pay to play online. I understand the reasons for it, but i wont stand for it.

Yes, there's 2P split screen.

Hey, that's a reason for me to want it now.



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