The other 60% are nintendo hardcores who think GOTY games are trash until BOTW won it. Or people who need excuses to own a switch (I'm a very busy person, I'm always traveling, etc).
I will be the minority in this comment section (like i tend to mostly do in nintendolife), but those 40% are smart gamers. People who don't need excuses to appreciate mariokart, gran turismo, and forza at the same time. Or you know, just adults with better time management.
I'm a huge xcx fan because of its sci-fi style compared to xc & xc2's fantasy themed style.
I understand that the game was too experimental on top of getting released on a console with extremely low installbase, but who does mech better than the xeno guys? So come on monolith! #xcx2!!!
MHGU is a great game -like any other monster hunter mainline games. But it gets more white knighting than it deserves -mostly because it's on nintendo's latest flagship console. And we all know how hard nintenfans love to whiteknight EVERYTHING about nintendo.
Most of your arguments are just downright false.
"Block without unsheathing"?? I'm going to respect you and take that as a typo. Cuz no weapon could magically block without being drawn. NONE.
"Unsheathe a weapon and run around full speed"?? The only change they made is now bowguns could now walk while shooting, really slowly. And it actually works in favor to better DPS because now gunners could angle their shots without having to stop shooting.
And no, nobody could pull off crazy combos and instawin mhw.
If anything, MHGU is that one monster hunter game with flashy supermoves and crazy styles. Your own arguments aren't helping you at all.
MHW never tries to be more action-oriented. MHGU does. Again, if anything, mhw are trying to introduce that known and loved deep mh mechanics to newcomers -hence it simplifies stuff. while MHGU is desperately trying to shake things up for bored veterans. Your arguments unintentionally attacks MHGU.
Okay, i'll take the scoutflies mechanics could be kinda stupid in the less-adaptive hunter's hands. But when the single player campaign ends -and the real monster hunting starts, anyone could (and should) totally ignore that mechanic. We endgame hunters literally just play it like any older mh games: memorize the monster's spawn points, and rush there as soon as the quest starts.
If you still need to follow them fireflies to find azure after doing 50 times of "a nose for an eye", there's something really wrong with your hunting.
As a long time hunter, I respect MHGU like I respect every other mainline monhun titles. It have some universally agreed advantages over MHW, like the massive amount of monsters roster, or more creative weapons designs -which this article failed to mention. But i sadly have to be the bad guy and say that this is a piss poor attempt of dissing the latest main title of monster hunter -which happen to not hit nintendo platforms. MHW is the most successful game in capcom's history, ever. Yes, it has surpassed legendary titles such as megaman, street fighter, and resident evil. Like it or not, MH6 will be based off MHW.
And mark my words, when it got released on a nintendo platform, ya'll gonna praised it to hell and back.
Nintendo fans are way better than this. We don't need stupid ass kissing article to justify our purchases. This needs to stop.
@akaDv8R HALO MCC in xb1. that stuff had MAJOR problems at launch. and right to this day -well half a year later, STILL have problems, that a huge tournament was cancelled due to connection problems.
@mjc0961 i agree that preorder culture should die, but of all games, this is the least game u want to use to kill preoder culture...
first of all: it's a new IP. people always screams for new innovations and new IPs. now they finally give u one, u cancel ur prorder?? these kind of games could use any support it could get. second: it's a nintendo game. nintendo are the last company nowadays that would scam u with shady preorder business. they might still do, here and there. but in a far more dignified manner than ubisoft or EA does.
i totally agree that preorder culture should die. but probably promote that idea on some ubisoft games, instead of here in nintendo website. aim the solution at the real big criminals, not at the small fishes who barely does it.
