Monster Hunter Games

[ShotBot]

So why was Monster Hunter World so hyped and still is hype, and then Monster Hunter Rise which says ''latest instalment'' so I assume the successor to World I just have no recollection of ever hearing about before and after launch for the most part? And even now World has more players.
Then the new Monster Hunter game seems to be the true successor to World just based on different reactions. Or am I crazy?

MH Rise did sell pretty well, more than 8 million copies on Switch alone, before it was released on PC other consoles
If you haven't heard about it, that means you are not a MH enjoyer

[Sallad✧ダラス]

Monster Hunter Rise was made for and I believe was initially only going to be for the switch, a lot of people can't wrap that around their puny heads

Because World is the superior game. It's that simple. Sometimes the sequel/next release is a step backwards.

I'm not trying to crap on Rise, but sometimes the next game in a series is not particularly better or more popular than a previous title. That's just how it is.

Also, a different director and developer team made Rise, as far as I'm aware. That's also a big factor when trying to figure things out.

It's relatively well known that Monster Hunter uses two creative teams that differ in style when making titles.

World was made by Team A that prefer more standard hunts and keeps the games more "grounded"

Rise was made by Team B that get a little more experimental and "anime" or flashy with their titles and you can see that with how they included the flashy wirebug attacks and kick flipping around the whole map

People are divided on who's better based on personal preference

World was the next generation title, Rise was a side mobile arcade game.

Because the console wars still exist and the fanboys hate nintendo that much.

Rise’s community isn’t as active, mostly because rise has a terrible multiplayer quest board which made people not want to play with randoms. I had to use a mod to lift the matchmaking region lock to find people.

When they're stuck in the past making terrible low end hardware that developers have to gimp games for then yeah I'm going to blame them. Even their "first party" stuff struggles on it.

Can't say much. Even now PS5 owners are still playing PS4 games instead of PS5 games. Monster Hunter World is a fine example of that.

A PS4 is NOT a Switch.

Yep. Console war it is. Still bugs me people are still using Windows 8.1 to play MHWorld.

Its not about console war, the Switch hardware is very limited and as a PC player I'm left to suffer for it some times for example here they made a mobile game for monster hunter and is a clear step down from all the "next generation" features of World.

Also Steam is dropping all Windows 8.1 and 7 support in a couple weeks because DX12 should be the standard.

Nope, it was designed for PC and Switch, and via the Capcom Databreach, we learned Nintendo paid for a short timed exclusive, and then later the game was released for Playstation and XBOX.

For almost 10 years Monster Hunter was on 3DS, and went fantastic, Rise is no different, and did not get "restricted" by the Switch.
