Is this a bit overpriced?

Given that it's a pretty simple port anyway?

What do you mean hahaha triple a means games that have been made with huge budgets and high production value. That's monster hunter. The game isn't made with just a group of 3 people with a budget of 2000.

Well. MHW is a bit different, I think this might be the first time a Monster Hunter game was $60.

Previous games were a lot cheaper being on PS2, and then most games were stuck on handhelds where prices were usually cheaper, like on PSP and 3DS. I don't remember what the Wii-U cost was MSRP. (might've been $60 too.)

There's also the issue that most Monster Hunter games are very copy-paste from previous iterations, and they made a habit of recycling a lot of the same content in new packages.

Monster Hunter World though, is pretty much entirely new. Also why it's generally a smaller game by comparison.

The point is triple-a basically means the production value and the big budget put into the game. It doesn't change that fact. The previous monster hunters were a double-a or a triple-a depending on the budget etc. That's just how it is.

But i get what you mean.

I'm not sure which Monster Hunter games really had a "AAA Budget" though. They definitely pumped more money in for each new system port, but then from there they usually just copy-pasted a few different versions on each platform (except Wii-U).

Not saying that in a negative way either, it's just how it is. If you've played more than one Monster Hunter game, you've seen the same monsters countless times, sometimes even copy-pasted in the same game as different encounters.

when you take in to account that many of us will play for 120 hours plus then yeah $0.50 per hour is pretty great for entertainment when you consider a movie costs about $4 an hour and thats if you cant get a lady then we are talking like $15 an hour including gas food and tickets

nono i know, it is mostly copy paste monsters. I'm atleast glad they would add new contents. Even tho monster hunter tri to monster hunter four removed underwater cause everyone apperantly hated it < including me xD Oh gawd how horrible it was to hunt monsters underwater. Fun idea but not fun in works.

Wait for a sale in a few months time, While I do want this game, £50 is a bit over the top, People need to learn that if we don't vote with our wallets the prices of games will just keep going up and up and up because publishers will see that the gulible will pay it.

No such thing as a simple port.

bro thats called inflation it has to happen for people to stay in business. and honestly videogames are underpriced if you account for inflation. so why not count your blessings and take an economics course.

Hmm.. yeah...

dont count your chickens before theyre hatched

[StoryMode]

I've worked in the games industry as a tester for around 6 years now and I've learned a lot so you don't need to insult me by saying "you need to go learn stuff", Even a triple-A game could in reality be sold for around £29.99-£39.99 and still make a profit, The only reason why they charge so much is because people will pay it.

The game costs 60€, which in USD is about $70. Is that a good price for europe?

And that has to do with exchange rates and taxes for specific country's

USD the game is $60

And for whoever it was comparing Witcher 3
It was $60 at release, its currently going for $40 because its been out for a few years

I was comparing it to Witcher 3. The game went down to $50 permanently when it was about 8 months old it, about the same age this game has. What Capcom is doing now is justifying the price because they say it's a quality port, yadda yadda yadda. You can easily find MHW for PS4 being sold on amazon for as little as $37 brand new. I don't think a port is worth $23 just for being a port.

Yeah, underwater fights is something I would've expected to go better in Monster Hunter Worlds if they were to try it again.

i dont care how many games you tested. testing games doesnt give you a degree in finance or an understanding of simple economics. Heres the thing a business exists soley to make money, they arent your friend and they only care about you when they are being watched. so suck it up and go sign up for that course at your local community college it sounds like you need a real job.

Oooooh I must have touched a nerve, More insults.

Game testing is not my main job but I have been doing it for 6 years and you learn a lot about the industry.

Monster Hunter World hasn't been on PC for 8 months. It's a new port and you usually end up fronting the extra cost of work put into a port by paying the MSRP or inflated value while it's considered a new release.
