Its really strange it doesn't run at 60fps. Like REALLY strange.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is coming to Nintendo Switch on August 28!
- Thread starter Fire Bocchi
- Start date
Agreed with this. A lot more room for experimentation, which ranged weapons have but that's hampered because they're generally so cumbersome to use.
Whatever the reason I still dont like it, lets see on future games or G rank versions
this gen so far Capcom x Nintendo relation have been the weirdest. Capcom saw tons of success on 3DS, was likely teh 1st 3rd party shown Switch prototype, Nintendo took direct feedback from em. and yet they have been giving Nintendo the most MEH support. Bethesda, the company that publicly shamed the WiiU and complained that "Nintendo never asked us what do we wanted for their console" been trying harder to support Switch
and there is always the thin foil hats conspiracies (although likely fake)
I just think MHW is much larger than I expected given the kind of leap they were taking. Its a little unfair to expect content to rival an end of generation homage compilation game like XX
But if thats the bar you expect to be cleared then yeah you need to hold of till late Gen 5
As far as Nintendo and Capcom? Seems like they are working stuff out these days right?
The original reason given was cause they wanted parity with the 3DS version this had Cross play with in Japan. But there is no 3DS version here so let's fix that framerate
I just don't understand why old fans of MH take every oportunity to shit on World instead of using that energy to get people to try the older games.
It'd be nice to see something like a "MHW new players, check out GU on Switch" thread with some comparisons and shit.

The weapon balance is horrible (The GL heat guage in MHX(X) was absolutely insulting, and the way they handled nerfing CB was pretty bad too, among other things), but other than that it's a pretty solid game. It'll be a good introduction for people who want to fight the older monsters and get a taste for some of the more difficult quests in MH games.

Should be patchable on Switch right?
Just dont know if the effort will be made but it should be passed on as feedback cuz why not
Agree 100%
For melee weapons, sure. For ranged though, it's a whole different story.
The same can be said of World fans blasting games they never played.
World's a fine game, but it has some glaring problems. There's nothing wrong with criticizing a game's lacking issues in comparison to previous iterations. It's the same for people who argue over Street Fighter iterations.
Do give brave style heavy bow a go in MHGU, I bet you will like it more than anything you ever tried ;)
I honestly haven't seen this happen in this thread, or at least not to the extent I've seen World bashing.
If anything, I've seen tons of people excited to try this game after only having played World.
I guess MHXX is an easy port and a test on Switch to see how many potential sales it can do.
Perhaps MHW will be ported to Switch if MHXX will do awesome sales.
I mean its no secret the amount of chaos MH scene has had over the past few years
Thankfully maybe we can move forward?
Mostly. You create a room, only 4 people can join it (I believe not 100% sure) someone posts a quest, people join it, poster starts it.
It's a bit more limited but as a result it is more focused. It forces people to cooperate, something the SOS system dilutes.
Old school rooms are a blast if you find a good group willing to cooperate. They are miserable if you cannot find a good group, specially with randoms.
XX already did MEH cause it was mostly a compilation of X at full price. game already was ported on Switch, gods know what pushed Capcom to finally localize it.
If this game is what capcom intends to use a measuring stick for "care" they are giving the win side a heavy handicap from the start imo
I played Generations demo and I couldn't even finish the mission (After 200h of World)
I might give the Switch demo a try but I doubt it will change much my perception.
This might be a little too explicit with the low-key shade, but I got a chuckle out it all the same.
Western market, probably, was the focus. World given Asian exclusivity is enough over an old, months-before-World release of MHXX in Japan. XX in Japan (3DS/Switch) came out nowhere near World and it was exhausted largely by the 3DS even earlier, and then you have the announcement just after that cut off the legs/appeal of XX Switch.
Seems fairly par and explicable. So 365 it is. :P
if you been following this thread, there are a few cases. If went to the announcement on Nintendo twitter, it looks just as bad as console war arguements
Apologies, my mistake, & you're right MT Framework is an excellent engine that's been used extensively in other Capcom games. That being said, MW:H still pushes the PS4 & Xbox 1 to the limit & it's worth being at least open to the possibility that putting it on switch would be take time & resources that could be used elsewhere & it doesn't necessarily make them "lazy" for not doing so.
Hummm, gonna be playing with randoms mostly :S And online, not local.
Tell me more. I only played about an hour of Generations on 3DS a long time ago. I mained bow in MHW though. What do I have to look forward to?
Yes, I think that they've made some tweaks to past localization projects and they'll most likely be removing some of the licensed armor sets but there's no official word yet on any changes so more than likely it's just a translation.
Oh yeah, I didn't say that about the Sony bit, just that it's interesting that it's indeed a year later, nearly day for day, like some other recent exclusives.
MHW was a PS4 exclusive in asia, and Capcom always knew it was going to sell less than portable entries there anyway. That's the western localization that is interesting.
Good post from Vena about it too:
Should be patchable, but they have no reason to do it.
Would likely be unlocked framerate rather than 60fps, like nearly every MH release, but it sure would be nice yeah.
from my understating is a mix of Visual Candy. and ill believe either capcom emselves or something on the engine dont mix well with Open like worlds give the terrible performance issues some parts of Dragons Dogma map had
I doubt the game gets great reviews.
It's an somewhat decent but not great port of an expansion of a 3ds game. After Generations and World, I doubt reviewers willl have the time to go into G-rank, and that's where the game gets new stuff.
I don't know why it wouldn't. MH4U and Generations both had excellent reviews.
Online? Local play PSP had region lock, as me and my cousin discovered trying to play FU together for the first time lol.
Generations has stuff like hold a button to gather instead of pressing multiple times, and the speed of gathering is faster so you don't have to crouch to quick gather.
To activate brave mode, fill up the brave gauge by firing at the monster. You can fill your gauge faster by using brave reloading.
Once you're in brave mode, you will be granted the ability to do crouching fire and the ability to run and slide after a roll/reload. During a slide or a roll, you are also able to cancel and instantly go into crouching fire mode. Do note that you will lose your brave mode over time and in order to maintain the gauge, you would have to keep firing at the monster.
Below is an extremely high level gameplay demonstrating brave style heavy bow in MHXX for Switch against a max level Bloodlust Diablos. I will spoiler it just in case:
I can't wait to get this. I've put plenty of hours into MHW and I love its QOL improvements, but I'm willing to take a step back into the classic formula for more content. MHW is fun, but I just wish it had a larger monster roster. The save transfer feature is enough for me to guarantee a purchase.
Man, watching that video, as awesome as it is, made me realize how much I'm going to miss seeing the damage values. It really helped me get much better with the range weapons.
Then my recommendation is to try to make some online friends whenever you cross paths with a good player.
I have absolutely no idea how the friend system works on the Switch. I made a few online friends in Adhoc Party almost 10 years ago just by playing MH and that was a convoluted mess so I guess you should have no problem nowadays.
If this works like the other 3DS Monster Hunter titles, you'll be able to add players directly to your Switch friends list, bypassing the other methods entirely.
Platform wars bro
In an ideal world Gen would be coming to PC/XB/PS and Switch would be getting World, but at least the games are being localized now. My only issue is I'd need to pay for another online service if I wanted to play with my boy Ridley.
I think the only way we'll truly be able to move forward is once we have an idea of what Ichinose and his team's next game shapes up to be like. Then we can just have a nice idea of what to expect from console and "portable" MH's respective directions, going forward.
Again, I'm fully on-board with the idea that they may be doing something quite different. Maybe it'll be a "spinoff" of World's basic ideas, with adjustments made to account for a console that has TV and portable modes. Maybe it'll be more of a classic MonHun with some of World's QoL applied. Or maybe they have their own ideas altogether for how a "5th gen" MH game can go, and "arcadey" stuff like X/XX's Styles and Hunter Arts are just a foretaste of what's to come (still would like those Hunting Dog and Boomerang weapons they teased postmortem for X's development). I dunno! The possibilities are vast, atm, and that's honestly pretty exciting.
Either way, the main takeaway I'm hoping for is that there will be a little bit of "something for everyone", and people will be free to favor whichever MH style they choose. All I care about is that something that continues where XX/GU left off, thematically, is in the cards, as I definitely prefer many aspects of that game, and portable-style Monster Hunter, in general, over the direction World chose.
On the Switch you have a "Recently players met in online games" kind of option, so it's cool!
One thing I won't envy from the old timers in the eventual MHGU OT: explaining in every page of the thread why is your hunter stuck in place when chugging a potion and the flex afterwards. It was tiring 10 years ago, imagine having to explain it to those that are used to being able to move while healing or even roll-cancel it.
This is pretty much exactly where I'm at. I just want more Monster Hunter, particularly on the go. I love MHW, but I miss some of my classic boys. Zinogre would have been amazing in World. I'm also just super excited to have Monster Hunter on my favorite piece of hardware at the moment.
The way the rooms work and the search function let's you set things up well though. When you start a room, you can select from a huge number of 'targets', and state that the room is targeting any monster in the game, taking turns to post a quest, grinding a specific quest etc etc. The room host can set it to private, kick people out etc. If you start a room saying 'x quest', and pin the quest up on the board, everyone joining that room knows your intention. I used to set up a specific room for when grinding an item or looking to advance on an urgent quest, and 'round robin' rooms (everyone posts a quest in turn) when just playing for fun. For the most part, the community is great, and if not, it's really easy to just leave, join another room or start one, put the kettle on and wait for fresh hunters. I rarely had to wait long.
Generally the accepted community etiquette for whose turn it is to post, or if you are in the wrong room, is pretty obvious after a short while. If someone has helped you out, stick around to at least help them with one run is my general rule of thumb, even if you're keen to move on.
Its nit about systen wars likelother poster said, is the same with every online game changing things to make things easier/more simple.
Smash melee -> Brawl and 4
Wow / MOBA patches, etc...
When you make things simpler most players would agree it makes things better, but the game also loses complexity that hardcore players were used to (like the debate about removing IV un Pokémon).
