How is the save transfer going to work exactly? Will it just bring the complete save over with all my stuff or are there limitations for what I can bring over?

User warned: Dismissive inflammatory posting, console warring.
I bet if MHW got a ultimate version with the same amount of monsters as Gen Ultimate, people will still find flaws about it.

And I also bet if there is a new MH game on switch with the exact same game design features as World these very same people will praise it and say it did better than world.

Damn. It's a really nice addition to the Switch, but I doubt I'll get it since the MHW is just better in ANY way besides the amount of contents. But MHW only came out a few months, I can almost guarantee that MHW will have way more contents than any other MH in the series in the long run.

(no console war)
Now let's bring MHW to Switch please. I would love to play it when I am in the bathroom.

Isn't MHW best selling Capcom game and that's before PC version? In what timeline is there a backlash? Seriously, sometimes folks need to put down the keyboard/phone and step away.

The users who were mad at MHW platform choices are now criticizing MHW is not backlash and we all know it.

Sure but that criticism isnt universal among the fanbase in the slightest

Not from what i can tell
No criticism is ever universal. You can see that here in this thread. I love the game but I actively avoid rerunning quests on forest because I don't like KO'ing a monster and having its head flail around inside a random tree or wall. I want to fight the monster, not the map.

I don't see a backlash against MHW, but from personal experience, myself and my friends dropped off at around HR60 in early February and never once thought to return. We kind of all agreed the game was great but didn't scratch the same itch as MH4U or MHX on 3DS. And the content wasn't enough to keep us there.

I agree with this. The forest just was not my favorite map to run through.

Cheers. Wonder why that one is so late too. Capcom really like taking their time with this series.
They said they want to make sure it's well optimized for PC and not half-assed port IIRC. Depending on how far along the inevitable G-rank expansion is, it might even come bundled with PC-version depending on how long it takes to release the base game. That's my guess anyway.

You guys need to get out of your bubble...
What bubble? Era isn't the only gaming community I visit, plus I know literally hundreds of gamers IRL. As an outsider, it felt like everyone went MHW crazy for a hot minute, then went right back to Fortnite (I don't play either franchise for the record.)

If it's like XX (and I expect it will be), there'll be a 3DS download which transfers over just about all of your stuff. As I recall, there were just a few minor limitations with DLC quest gear and the like.

PR:


The highly anticipated Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, the follow up to Monster Hunter Generations, marks the series debut on Nintendo Switch as an exclusive when it launches on August 28, 2018 for digital and physical retail purchase across North America and Europe. For the first time, gamers have the flexibility to play both local wireless and online multiplayer with up to three other hunters – whether playing at home on the big screen or on the go in handheld or tabletop mode. E3 attendees can check out a demo of the game at the Capcom booth (#2223) this June.

Hunters can face off against the series' largest roster of unique monsters in this nostalgic look back at the series' beginnings and evolutions. Take on the role of a brave hunter on an adrenaline-fueled adventure challenging larger-than-life beasts. Completing quests will yield valuable resources for crafting countless distinct weapons and equipment fashioned after players' defeated foes. Along their journey, hunters must defend each of the game's four villages from major threats known as the Fated Four, plus an even more dangerous new Elder Dragon.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate features a blend of classic gameplay and unique new twists, brand new explorable areas and monsters, plus returning fan-favorites like the lightning fast Zinogre and the stealthy long-tailed Nargacuga. This release introduces a new quest level called "G" rank that features even more formidable versions of familiar foes, truly testing experienced hunters' battle tactics now with different moves and abilities never before seen in the wild!

For newcomers to the series, the gameplay features tons of powerful super moves called Hunter Arts that can be executed with a quick tap on the touch screen. Players can experiment and choose from six different Hunting Styles including two new ones called Brave Style, which rewards players with new moves for landing successive attacks; and Alchemy Style, a support style that grants the ability to create useful items on the fly during combat. Hunters are encouraged to explore and customize the experience between quests to discover their preferred, highly personalized playstyle.

Players of the original Monster Hunter Generations can transfer save data from the previous title to continue their journey in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.


I'm in!

I haven't played the game (or really kept up with any of the news because I never expected this to make it over), but I'm pretty sure it brings over everything.

Edit: Beaten! With better clarification no less!

Can we just not with this console wars bull?

Owners of one console don't act differently than owners of another. People are people.

As far as I know, Monster Hunter on the PS2 and Wii had no split-screen option. "Local multiplayer" on the 3DS was literally multiple players bringing their handhelds into the same room. Everyone still played the game on their own screen.

You could get the same effect with Monster Hunter World if everyone brought their consoles to one location, it's just not very convenient.
Actually, Tri on the Wii did have split screen.

It won't even come close. They're not adding anywhere close to that many monsters to make it possible

You said 3 days like c'mon now?
There were many events already released and people talked about them on Reddit,Facebook, the OT here.
Dante uniform gifs is all over Twitter.
Did the game dropped part of it's userbase? sure, but the game still has a lot of recurrent events and the PC release is still highly anticipated.

Isn't August when people were expecting MHWorld on PC? I don't really think I can go back to old Gen MH, as much as I love some of the fights.

Oh, I just noticed that they aren't localizing the 3DS version (similar to DQXI).

Everyone went to Fortnite. More content to MHW will come and people will jump back. It sold a ton, held interest for a while and that was the goal.

MHW content is fairly expensive after all so it's not something that will roll out for free rapidly.

Uh, well, I'm glad they're releasing this after an entire year, but now I have to decide if I want to replay MHXX in English, MHW on PC, both, or neither. Honestly I'm thinking neither. I may buy GU just to have all that content more conveniently in English, and maybe wait for the G version of MHW.

Map design in MHW is excellent, actually. Lots of good verticality and a sense of scale where you actually feel like you're in a world and not some glorified arena. Scoutflies are a good hand-holding solution for players that don't know the map layouts or simply want to go to the monster's location with little effort, which is necessary when maps get as large as they have and players aren't used to the layouts. That and fast travel were the best choices they could have made.

I eventually memorised monster locations and map layouts so I didn't rely on the scoutflies much in the end.
I really didn't like it. The later maps were better, but the Ancient Forest was legitimately a massive fucking maze with 800,000 layers of winding paths snaking around each other. It was still a pain in the ass for me to navigate after 200 hours, and I still needed the scoutflies to find out how the hell to get to certain areas toward the end. Maybe you get used to it after 500 hours. I never liked glowy trails because they're a crutch that leads players to just follow the sparkles and ignore the environment. Especially when they're so huge and bright they literally take up half the screen sometimes. Thankfully, again, I did get used to the later areas as they're more distinctive, with larger open areas and fewer tiny paths, and more straightforward and intuitive to navigate yourself.

Yeah, nah. MHW has only added two monsters since release. I don't expect it to eclipse the content of this game — or even vanilla Generations for that matter — until it's inevitable sequel/iteration.

This is way too little and too late for me. I don't want to go backwards with QoL after World. Capcom continues to baffle me with their decisions.

That likely won't happen for two reasons.
  1. Monster Hunter World is console exclusive to Sony in Asia, so there's no real point in doing a Switch port of MHW.
  2. MHW would probably run into numerous performance issues on the Switch.

Please tell me you're joking ._.

Ancient Forest is one of the most convoluted, messily designed maps in gaming as a whole.
It's a personal opinion. But I like maps that are not hand holdy with a lot of verticallity and gives the feeling of being lost.
Also the higher you go in the map, the more dangerous the creatures get forming sorta of a pyramid.

And it's literally the same game in terms of content, so 3DS owners aren't getting the short-end of the stick if they're looking at this version. The DQXI situation is much more frustrating that this could ever aspire to be.
No it's not. The 3DS version of XX was never localized so they're missing out on a lot of content.

Just like every other new generation before it. Good god what is even happening
