New MH Series: MH Outlanders -> Open World Survival Game?

[Wenz Lightning]

MH with Open World Survival, that's sound cool.
So it means that game has life skill (gathering, crafting, mining, housing, etc) and survival core element.

New Update:
This is the new update of MH Outlanders including interview and gameplay showcase.
I'm so hyped for this new spin-off. They really added survival core element such as crafting, cutting down trees, build houses, etc.

this is what i think we get in the game for paying

We got at least two separate Gatchas with hunters and buddies and then there is most likely going to be skins of some sort for building pieces and decoration packs. and that alone is pretty much everything that you would need to be profitable.

ps: maybe our own hunter we made and just characyers we could switch into

I really like the genres listed. I consume a lot, and I mean a lot of open world survival crafting games. Probably the number one by in large genre I consume for games. Especially if we're talking just pure raw playtime.

That being said. I'm sceptical of the footage. Seems like the game is more so a Genshin Impact-esk game. Even Genshin has house building and crafting stuff which is relegated to your plot of land. The unique hunters makes me think the monetisation will be gacha heroes who use 1-2 weapon types. If you like playing charge axe, it'll probably be stuck on one or two legendary heroes in the gacha pool who use the weapon for example. The gameplay will probably be a bit more simplistic too, like Genshin.

it's mobile trash, just another one to add to the pile.

I don't know why they put gacha on it. Even though they really know MH Players base are the game which is B2P and not monetization aspect (not gacha stuff). I'm worried this gonna be flop.

Brand recognition will help it get it's foot in the door so to speak.

You shouldn't be worried that it's gonna be a flop. You should hope that it is.

When ever I see "Mobile" my body physically recoils and I make an audible disgust sound.

I don't wan't to play on a tiny screen without dedicated controls and experiences that make sense for that type of platform.

If this is playable on PC like Genshin maybe I'll try it, but only if its not a big ♥♥♥♥♥ gacha game also like Genshin which it will almost certainly be.

This is one of the reasons why I'm utterly against the continued porting of mobile gacha trash to PC. Because there's a sharp and more-or-less accurate divide in perception between PC games and mobile games; one is an actual game (even if the publisher has monetization) and the other is (oftentimes extremely predatory) monetization with a thin veneer of gameplay propped up in front of it.

But these ports to PC are going to end up removing that distinction and end up catching people who would otherwise know to avoid mobile games.

I like the visual direction. I won't instantly dislike a mobile game just because it is a mobile game, but now it is a game of guessing what the catch is. I will be extremely surprised if the monetary side of things does not compromise gameplay.

It costs a small fortune to buy all of Worlds cosmetics but I don't think that alone would do. More likely a rotating store with a battle pass. I wouldn't buy cosmetics for a mobile-only game, but something that took cross-platform to its limits might be more appealing.

Lets be realistic here. People are not going to play a mobile-to-PC ported game for a while and go "Omg this game I was enjoying was a mobile game? Yuck! Disgusting! Get it out of my sight!"

If they don't like what they see they will spot it right away. A PC-native game asking for your bank card information is not somehow safer than a mobile-ported game.

looks better than Wilds, it is just a mobile game tho with no pc port most likely

Na, it will probably get a PC port like most Genshin style games. It'll just take 3-6 months after the mobile launch. So like most Genshin style games.

They are not aiming to MH players base but gacha players and mobile, the kind of people they can milk with ease, using their glorified gambling machines called gacha.
