I smell nonsense here. You can't ignore that the PS3 had a much bigger base when MH3rdHD was launched. MH3U is a launch title, so there's no installed base. 

It's like compare Assassin's Creed Liberation and Paper Mario Sticker Star, just because both are holiday and portable titles. u.u

Yet again, do you want to compare Monster Hunter HD? So, try this one: when the Wii U launches, compare the porcentage of the install base that will buy the game vs the porcentage of the installed base that bought (MH3rdHD) on PS3. ;)

Yeah.. I know about the install based thing... but the same apply for all the other games that here we compare... Compare Yakuza 4 install base of PS3 to Yakuza 5 install base... Tales of VEsperia vs Xillia... etc... may be the difference is not as huge as PS3 vs WiiU (6 years) but stil is just a comparison.. being fair or not...

Wow, great cover. Though the "HD" part seems really tacked on. Otherwise, perfect.

Of course there's dialogue lol. Though it's not voice acted. They use some computer generated voices instead. It's kind of like Zelda (Zelda uses actual voices though) but more annoying :P Still, you get used to it.

The story's decent. There's a lot of people who love it but I thought it was just decent. But the game is great for other reasons. Namely, the gameplay and music is very good, and of course the graphics are awesome.

It's fun to just run around with Ammy and being able to jump and stuff. The brush stuff is also pretty cool. The game is structured like a really good Zelda game, with a pretty good and decently sized world with a LOT of secrets. You'll be doing a lot of backtracking when you get more brush techniques and you'll find new stuff. As for the music, I posted one of my favorite tracks above, but there's a lot more to be found. Game's also pretty long. Main story is like 40 hours give or take, but I did everything save for all the fishing in my first playthrough and clocked 70 hours.

If you want a more detailed review, read the one I did some months ago when I played it on the PS2: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4544025

actually it's excact opposite from Yakuza 4 vs 5 or Tales of Vesperia vs Xillia. In Yakuza or Tales case, the game released later would have the bigger install base which, in turn, is expected to be bigger. In MH HD case, the game released later has zero install base and shouldn't be expected to be bigger.

THIS.

Plus, the game is a port of a port.

I don't care. I will keep doing the comparison, you like it or not.
Hugs!
