@JaxonH The performance in MH Stories 2 is pretty spotty, though. Some areas chugged noticeably. I even remember you raging about it at one point.

@Ralizah
The unlocked framerate does cause some stutters at times. And I did rage about it initially until I learned it was only localized to 1 or 2 specific areas, which if you recall I even took video afterward saying ok, it's not nearly as bad as I feared.

It may not be perfect, but it's night and day from Pokemon, largely because it's pushing as close to 60 frames as it can instead of 30.

@JaxonH Honestly, reducing the framerate to a locked 30 and slightly dropping the resolution across both modes would probably have allowed it to run perfectly. It's annoying how easily that game's performance woes likely could have been addressed.

But yes, SMT V and MH Stories 2, as technically imperfect as they are, are still miles better than any Pokemon game on the console, and the lifetime sales of both probably won't manage to match even the pre-order numbers of an average Pokemon game.

I can't understand the gaming comunity. If a full priced exclusive software made by a big dev can't run on the only hardware configuration it needs to, it is clearly a optimization issue and we shoud be more vocal about it, not beg to waste more money on expensive hardware so it can work prorpelly. This dev philosophy is just destroying hardware longevity.

There is a space between these two positions I think you skipped over. Actually I think the two positions are if anything both of these stances.or neither of them

My take is that games poorly optimised to this degree shouldn't be brought. We should vote with our wallets and demand better. Especially from large studios who only have one platform to target. These Pokemon games? They shouldn't have been released in this state

However, new hardware is both inevitable and desperately needed. Poorly optimised games are in part a symptom of that fact. So we should also be asking where the new hardware is and, potentially, when it does inevitably come possibly re-evaluate our stance on these poorly optimised titles

So both, I'll do both thanks

I know Pokemon prints money but GF has supposedly been having issues with technical performance for a while. I don’t know enough about the engine under the hood but I wish Nintendo could help them out. I doubt it based on the ownership agreement they seem to have set up but I feel bad for them(as in most folks don’t want to make a bad product intentionally). Perhaps if Pokemon wasn’t annual? The mobile games earn enough that they can take an extra year right?

@JaxonH I am still trying to figure out how so much can go so wrong so quickly for one person (not absolving him of any guilt) but seriously I would be ready to change my name.

@JaxonH is this Monster Hunter game this leak refer the other Monster Hunter game we found in the leaked Capcom documents? eww microtransaction. @Kaisu Game Freak is incompent with Nintendo hardware since the begining of the franchise, the late president of Nintendo Satoru Iwata have to help them during the end of the development of Pokémon Gold e Silver, because they are unable to include Kanto in the game, due to they incompetence in programing the game, the situation got worse during the 3DS era, i recall playing Pokémon Y in my 3DS and when i used the 3D the framerate droped dratically.

Yes.

Monster Hunter Paradise. I imagine the "MTX" won't be what you're thinking of though, with virtual currency and unlimited transactions, but rather finite cosmetics sold piece meal similar to Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise. They're "technically" micro transactions as they are small (micro) DLC purchases for cosmetics.

@JaxonH If they're throwing battle passes into the mix, purchasable virtual currency with real money and an ingame store seems very likely.

@Grumblevolcano
Not necessarily

Just means new content and event quests accessible for the pass. Nothing about a battle pass is inextricably linked to "virtual currency". That wouldn't even work in MH because there's nothing to infinitely buy. They specified it would have various cosmetics and event quests for the pass.

@JaxonH i see and how about this battle pass, will it work similar to past Monster Hunter expansions? i not obliged to pay it to enjoy the game? can i play the game without buying this battle pass or is essencial for the game?

@JaxonH The premium currency would be the way you'd buy the battle pass and the ingame shop items where the ingame shop contains the kind of stuff MH Rise has as DLC and rotates every so often. The battle pass at certain stages of progression would reward you with exclusive cosmetics and in others would reward you with premium currency.

@Grumblevolcano
It's possible but also not necessary. Nothing about it "needs" virtual currency. Can be sold on the shop same as anything else. Just cause certain other games do that doesn't mean every game does.

@Giancarlothomaz
You read the leak same as me. But no game needs a battle pass to enjoy. It's just extra content. It's a fancy name for time limited access to DLC content.

@JaxonH I'm just saying what I think will happen based on other games.

Pokemon Violet is now my favourite game on Switch.

@Grumblevolcano
Gotcha. Well, either way I'm excited for the prospect of the next MH going to Switch 2.

This is both good and bad.

Good, as it indicates Switch 2 will finally close the gap, and the vast majority of big AAA games that are currently skipping Switch will actually see a Switch 2 release. No more watching MH World release wishing for a Switch port.

Bad, as it indicates Switch 2 will finally close the gap, and the vast majority of big AAA games that are currently skipping Switch will actually see a Switch 2 release. Which means no more bespoke titles such as Monster Hunter Rise + Sunbreak. Multiplat games aren't developed with portable play in mind, as we saw with MH World auto creating online lobbies without any option of creating an offline lobby, unless you were disconnected from the internet. You could always just disconnect after the online lobby was created or limit it so others can't join, but it's a stark contrast from MH Rise where offline is the default.

That's a price that will need to be paid for getting included with the latest multiplat releases. And it means instead of two Monster Hunter games being released per generation- one for power consoles and one for hybrid, we'll just see one more elongated release across all platforms.

Personally I think the pros outweigh the cons in that assessment, but still. Rise is a very special game and could well be the last bespoke portable Monster Hunter. End of an era.
