Mega Man Felyne Armour Makes Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Even Stranger

Knew if i said it enough it would happen, now if only Capcom could just make another entry. BTW there are Mario and Luigi skins too

Hey look, a new Mega Man game!

This is the only "armor" based on a character that is owned by them, but it is somehow the weirdest and least expected.

I do admit that the DLC for this is a little abusive, but it's all optional and free. so if you don't want it, don't download it and it won't intrude at all! That's what I'm doing, and i plan to enjoy MH4U.

I don't understand why Capcom needs Mega Man's creator just to make another game, Miyamoto could leave Nintendo yet that wouldn't put an end to Mario

Somebody asked for this.

Love the look, but the way the characters move is so creepy... like they're string puppets being controlled by invisible demons or something.

Hah and people were just mocking capcom for not already doing this.

Pretty sure Capcom is just trolling us at this point. Lol.

That is as much Megaman as we are gonna see from Capcom.

Now we just need the kitchen sink DLC and this game will be complete.

Capcom - slapping customers in the face since 20XX
At this point, this is simply mockery.
And to be brutally honest, if these crossover things keep on going, my interest in MH4 will vanish entirely.
A nice nod here and there, ok. But this is getting ridiculous. Super Smash Monsters...
Call me a purist, but this is not how you enhance a games lore...

Ok..so..Mario, Luigi, Link, Samus, Isabelle, Mr. Resetti, Mega Man...am I missing any?

And people complaining about these OPTIONAL DLC, slap yourself please. You would do us a favor.

@AyeHaley I'm pretty sure I've seen a Sonic the Hedgehog felyne armor as well.

don't th moves look wrong cause its still the monster hunter guys wrapped around innocent video game characters..... mostly innocent

Anyone who takes issue with optional DLC is just looking for reasons to complain. As if they are forced to download it or something.

I think it's awesome. Can't wait to go hunting as Samus with my little Mega Felyne compadres. Now if we could just get that Fire Emblem DLC that they brought to the online MMO Monster Hunter

I knew this was coming seeing as it is a Capcom game. Will I use it? Probably not since I don't feel it suits Monster Hunter's style of weapons, but I do however think it would pretty cool for fans to mess around with as long as they don't make it uber powerful in comparison to other options!

Well, I guess that does it. CatMan is a thing now. But seriously, this getting more and more out of hand. What's next? Leon Kennedy? Ryu and Ken? Miku Hatsune?! ... I shouldn't jinx it.
But in all honesty, Capcom is kinda losing it right there. Yes, these cameos are cute and funny/cool, but is that really necessary? Couldn't you look for more fantasy-styled cameos? Xenoblade, Pandora's Tower, Last Story, Baten Kaitos - there's so much stuff that would be much more fitting than this. Why this sudden separation from the fantastic world that is Monster Hunter?

@HappyHappyist You are aware that these aren't DLC, right? They're special armor sets for the hunter/felyne which you can forge through special items from event hunts.
This was already the case with MH3U, where several special weapons required some kind of diploma/paper from one specific event quest.

HOLY CRAP. This and Isabelle I will be using!

@Kaze_Memaryu
event quests are DLC, no? i don't remember seeing any event quests at Tanzia Port until I downloaded them.

@HappyHappyist Oh, that's right. Nonetheless, the armors aren't DLC, and not downloading the event quests means you might miss out on some very useful events for farming.

Generally speaking, the whole "if you don't like DLC, don't download it" phrase is so utterly cheap and annoying, it's unbelievable. Some people might be annoyed with the very sight of these armors. What should they do? Not downloading the event quests doesn't mean you'll never see that stuff, so are they supposed to kick anyone who's wearing one of the armors?
It's really short-sighted to assume not getting DLC in an online-multiplayer game will magically resolve the annoyance. Others can still use it, and everyone has this content, be it in-game or via patch. And in the case of MH4U, the event equipment is completely out of place by now.
And while I personally don't mind people using them, I can see this becoming a very worrying trend.

So, another game combining Link, Mario & Luigi, Samus, AND Mega Man?
Awesome. I just don't get how Capcom and Nintendo seem to work together so well, yet Capcom keeps stabbing their fans in the back, with bad games often, bad decisions, multi-platforms that work on my grandma's toaster but 'could't be ported to Nintendo systems',...
Anyway, I'll gladly get this game, but if Capcom doesn't return to what they used to be, they're dead to me after this.

@Kaze_Memaryu
You could still say that these armors still have skills/stats/defenses of their own. When they lose usefulness, like in the G-ranks, you may not see them very often. and they all have elemental weaknesses, so if it's weak to ice i don't imagine many hunters hunting an ice monster. You do present a valid point on the armor, but i'm just trying to mollify what's possible.

As for "if you don't like DLC, don't download it," it is free DLC after all. and it's not like people play this game for the story. The point is to have fun, and having a Link or Samus armor cameo is pretty fun. I personally have no problem with the armors and weapons, and i can't wait to try them out. I do also see the likelihood of extremists kicking players based on armor preference, which upsets me.

@Einherjar Wow, ou guys are losing interest in the game because of EXTRA content, amazing...

@WaLzgi Man, that Spyro reboot called Skylanders is super geat, really does him justice! Haha!... _{Ooh, I made myself sad...}

@AyeHaley Chopper from the anime One Piece also has a MH4 skin.

@AyeHaley

Isn't there an Assassin's Creed outfit too? Unless you're only counting Felyne costumes.

Wii U owners: "Third party publishers are cutting content and not bringing DLC to the Wii U versions of games, this is an outrage! I no longer have any interest in the game!"

3DS owners: "A third party publisher is including extra free content and DLC in the 3DS version of a game, this is an outrage! I no longer have any interest in the game!"

@burninmylight Sums up the comments I've been seeing for the past few months/years real well.

@burninmylight

Ikr... I don't think people grasp the weight of what they're saying sometimes. This will surely be a game NOT to be missed. They could strip half the content and double the price- I'd STILL buy it. For someone to say extra content means they don't want the game now, I don't think they were ever gonna buy it in the first place, nor do I think they understand how good this game is.

No Monster Hunter vet is gonna let ANYTHING come between them and this game. We know this game very well could be the best game we see this generation. You don't just up and decide to pass that up.

These crossovers are not ending and I love it. Keep 'em coming, Capcom.

@RaphaBoss No, extra content is not the problem, not at all.
Its ill fitting crossovers that irritate me.
Like i said in an earlier discussion, its that it simply comes of as if they forcefully want to adorn themselfes in borrowed plumes.

Monster Hunter itself is a fantastic series that stands extremely well on its own feet. In recent titles, crossovers were rather subtle and very fitting.
See the Gear REX for instance. It basically was REX form Metal Gear Solid as a wyvern. It was made to fit into the game without loosing the whole homage.
Now, they are just throwing in stuff from other franchises that stick out like a sore thump. The Link outfit, that was first introduced for instance, was perfectly finde. It fits rather well into the whole theme.
But the Power Suit and the MegaMan costume and Rush weapon just seem forced.
Why not go the extra mile and design them to fit in better ?
THAT is the problem i have with it, not that they add in extra content.
People threw a hissy fit about the Mercedes DLC for Mario Kart 8 and that it would be ill fitting too but now its a problem ?
See, Mario had several real life endevors before. And the Mercedes cars were made so they look goofy and deformed and fit into the game rather well. Just imagine if the Mercedes cars would remove the character model to have a closed roof, so you just "play as the car itself" THAT would be a problem.

Thats what iffs me here, why kill the immersion with cheap fanservice when it worked perfectly in the past ?

I don't see an issue with free extra content. Either download it or don't. I actually never got in to the monster hunter franchise so see samus & mega man has caught my attention. Giving me characters I'm familiar with in a unfamiliar franchise would definitely be a good starting point in drawing my interest and perhaps make me want to buy past & future games.

This is so wrong. Keep Nintendo chars outta my Monster Hunter!

@Einherjar I understand your opnion, but since they are free, we don't have much to conplain. I'd rather really thank for it.( I don't have the game, I'm just enjoying it from a far perspective)

@ollietaro Mega Man is a Capcom Character silly.

STAHP BREAKING MY IMMERSION CAPCOM! /s

No, seriously. I can't find any reason to complain about this stuff. I rather enjoy it, and if you don't want to forge that armor, you don't have to. Sure, other online players might wear it, but who are you to tell them that they can't wear what they want?

@Iggly it doesn't matter anyways and it's optional dlc so it's basically a non-issue. I will most likely download it anyways LOL
