In-game purchases???!!!

[TarzanEng]

WTH. Does this mean this game contains microtransaction and lootboxes?

If that is the case, I will not be buying this game for sure.

[Frosey]

It probably means the same thing that they do for Monster Hunter World/Rise, a DLC shop for cosmetic costumes and stickers and the like.

Chances are if there are any useable items from this, they will be either a pack of consumeables or gear that you'll replace relatively early in the game anyways. At least, that's the pattern I see in games that sell extras like this.

Totally man, absolutely, for sure. ALL THE LOOT BOXES IN YOUR FACE.

Seriously tho, clam down.

Who just immediately jumps to the conclusion that a Monster Hunter game that HAS NEVER EVER had loot boxes before, would all of a sudden have loot boxes just because the description says it contains micro transactions?

Again clam down, and how about next time you post, just politely ask "Hey what exactly does this mean? could someone please tell me"

Read DFrost's post above, that sums it up perfectly

I'd complain but UNLIKE the vast majority of games with "Its only cosmetic" Lootbox DLC... This game does not starve you for interesting visuals.

If anything it would be a LOT more tolerable if cosmetic only DLC... wasn't "The only good visuals".

Loot boxes wouldn't even make sense in a single player focused game like Stories.

Capcom has been slowly testing waters with lootboxes. Thier Resident Evil 3 multiplayer include lootboxes. They might put lootboxes in this game just to test things out.

That is how it always started.

Does that mean you're forced to buy it? No.

So why are you here?

[M.O.S.S]

In game purchases and lootboxes more likely will exist in game. This is a Capcom game after all, and they already know Monster Hunter regulars will gobble that stuff up.

Does it mean you have to buy it , NO .

The real question is:
If the in game grind has been made more challenging and slow because they locked something behind an in game purchase? Who knows, after all this is Capcom and this is not then a normal Monster Hunter game.

I want the game to be a game not a casino like Fifa Ultimate Team.

If it is like FUT，then I will never buy this game. That is why I am here to find out.

If you think lootboxes does not forced you to pay, you are either

A) Extremely rich
B) A special individual.

[Phrysma]

It is a CAPCOM game, and a Monster Hunter game, it will never have loot boxes os this kinda of stuff. It is cosmetics and maybe some stuff to put on your room or house, i hope we can get a bigger place to call house in this one <3

I have never bought a single lootbox in Overwatch, i don't see how you can't just play the game and enjoy it without spending money?

It is psychologically developed in order to convince people. It especially tries to target people who are vulnerable (who are their main money source). In fact people with an innate tendency to develop addictions... ARE their primary target... AND are the ones who make them the vast majority of their profits.

It is actually kind of funny how vicious people are being just because they aren't the intended target of Lootboxes.

I have so much sympathy because EVERYTHING puts in lootboxes and you can't even just be a smart consumer and avoid games with them... because game developers have caught onto this fact and now put it in the game post-release whether it is multiplayer or single player.

I must be blind cuz I don't see anything about In game purchases.

Pretty much, I don't touch lootboxes but I understand how nefarious they are for just existing because my best friend back in highschool got baited in by Overwatch lootboxes and spent way more than a healthy amount. He recently put down Genshin because he could feel himself falling into that same trap.
The reality is it's not really about whether or not your smart, or whether or not you NEED to purchase them to progress, it's about whether or not you're psychologically susceptible into getting baited into that garbage.

Also Capcom Monster Hunter Riders/Explore are both Blatant Gachas and I'd argue World's cosmetic monetization system isn't much better than microtransactions. It's not a stretch to say they might introduce lootboxes one day however I don't think Monster Hunter Stories 2 will be that day.

You cant really compare cheap f2p mobile cashgrabs to actual games

[ᔑᓭ∴ᔑリ⊣]

why the hell would there be lootboxes in a mainly singeplayer rpg game? lol maybe you guys should step away from the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mobile and pvp-focused games for a while.


the only dlc (excluding ultimate/expansions that are basically an entire game) that this entire franchise has ever had in it's life has been purely cosmetic stuff. forreal
