For a lot of games, even just having your game listed on the store as a PS5/XBSX game is worth the port effort, especially for games with long lasting appeal like Capcom's that continue to sell years down the line. Though Capcom never treated MH as game in that category except for MHXX on Switch, so you never know. But I don't see BC stopping us from seeing current gen games getting next gen ports.
Hmmm yeah I can see them doing this then
Though I would very much like to see them attempt to incorporate either cross save or cross play in some form to avoid splitting communities a third time over
Thanks. I'll probably grab it this weekend.
To clarify and be more exact, we're talking about peak daily concurrent users playing the game and not peak unique users at any given time.
With that in mind, Peak Daily CCU was 334,684 for the initial MHW launch window back in August 2018, and 284,524 for Iceborne this past weekend on Steam. This is public information registered via Steamstats but I wanted to provide clarification backed by exact numbers.
Either way, many users came back to play Iceborne and we're super thrilled with where things stand right now with MHW.
PC loves MH. I hope the devs team see this going forward. I'd love to share the excitement of new content a long with console players one day.
Nope. not the first.
Monster Hunter Online in Asia was years earlier. I'm not saying MHO was the first PC MH game either, just that it predates World by years.
Monster Hunter Frontier Online/Monster Hunter Frontier Z was on PC in 2007.
(just to add more context)
Thanks.
I had a feeling - That's why I didn't want to say Monster Hunter Online was the first PC MH game, cause I pretty much knew it wasn't.
Sorry if this post sounds like whining directed at you, it isn't. You're likely to have no say in the matter but hopefully this success means they can remove/fix all the issues PC is currently having due to anti-tamper/drm methods. I personally haven't been having too many issues(besides needing to use a VPN so that I don't DC people in my session) but the game is currently sitting on "Mixed" reviews on Steam.
It's baffling why they went this route that greatly impacts performance for people. Not sure if it was to purposely to prevent people from using mods that literally no one complained about or if it was just to prevent piracy even though the base game showed that people were willing to spend money on the game even for a delayed port.
Still, load times on PS4 Pro won't be as fast as PC and PS5, which are literally 1-2 seconds. And the 4K is checkerboard compared to native.
I still want a Switch game, but yeah, i'm sure it'd get a grilling in reviews and the community for being outdated if they remain using "Old World" graphics, gameplay and things.
They already acknowledged the issues and are working on a patch.
That being said... the game had major issues already in 2018, and Kaldaien did explain what was wrong, but instead of fixing those, they doubled down.
I'm waiting to jump back into Destiny and MH specifically because of this...
I might bite the bullet and get iceborne though.
I guess I'll get banned or at least beaten a bit if I god and grab some of the comments in the Monster Hunter World announcement thread, right?
It's the best thread of all time of you are looking to have a good laugh.
Im glad the band aid got ripped
4th gen was a long period of 3DS only access to monster hunter and peoples heels were dug in deep
Made me sad to see such toxicity when the games themselves were some of the best ever made
The community now is mostly placated and content and so am I
You have my blessing. In all seriousness, I'm glad we made the jump. 4 Ultimate was peak for me, anything after didn't feel as fun. World reinvigorated me and now I still play.
Maybe I got too used to the 2 year cycle we had going with Monster Hunter because I liked Monster Hunter Generations but I didn't even make it to G Rank in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate and some part of me did like Monster Hunter World to finish the game at least but I wasn't liking the lack of content and some of these New World mechanics/changes so I didn't play the game long after I initially beat it. As for Monster Hunter Iceborne I just couldn't muster enough interest to make it past Tigrex so I dropped the game.
It's pretty clear that with these sales Monster Hunter is now a yearly franchise in the west just like it has always been in Japan. I think I'm going trough some kind Monster Hunter burn out so I think that maybe I should start skipping the non G/Ultimate games at the very least on Console/PC because Monster Hunter on the go (Switch) feels more natural to me.

Well there is certainly no harm just playing what works best for you. I have the opposite opinion of where MHW is the most comfortable and fun MH by far, so much so I could not go past the first couple of stars in G/Ultimate and promptly sold it.
