Monster Hunter World Will Add New Monsters As Free DLC

@divinejester:

That's part of the fun; figuring out how to effectively use your weapon. The first Monster Hunter I ever played was the one on PSP and I was trash at the game. Until I trained and learned combos and dove headfirst into the mechanics. You can't compare a game like Monster Hunter to one like Dark Souls because they're not the same thing. I've beaten all 3 Dark Souls games and they both offer different types of challenges. Also, you're incorrect about scaling. At 1 player, the monsters have 100% health and deal 100% damage, but those numbers go up with more players. I agree with the other commenter; doesn't sound like this series is for you, man.

@divinejester: I've tried every 3ds monster Hunter & still can't get used to the way the game controls. They all look great, which is what makes me try it over & over again. MH3 on Wii was first one I tried, then MH3U, MH4U, MHGenerations & one more in between there somewhere. I always attempt to play solo since I want to learn the ropes before playing with others, as I wouldn't want to hold a team back. Maybe that's the problems. Since it's meant to be MP, but I am convinced that you had to have played this on PSP & before to like it, since you would have gotten used to th controls and grew with the games iterations. It's hard for me to see any newcomers becoming a fan unless they don't play any other 3rd person games, so they won't have a point of reference to compare it to (which may make it tolerable in that case, maybe). Best of luck to everyone. Glad the MH fans got a next gen game though, cuz they have been waiting forever to play in HD on a modern console with decent online features like party chat.

@divinejester: Honestly, I don't think is right for you. All the previous MH games has time limits in missions, pretty much every HRPG has it. It's more to determine how skillful are you in hunting the monsters quickly since apperently in the MH universe, it's more of a competitive career (especially since there's gonna be leaderboards at launch).

As for combat, I admit it can be too clunky for newcomers, but compared to the previous games, it's much improved. Also comparing it with DMC is not a good comparision, since the combat here is much more grounded. Are Fallout 3 and CoD4 the same 'cuz they have "gun-based" combat? Are Persona and Pokemon the same 'cuz they let you capture monsters? Of course not.

But hey, since this is your first MH and you found it too clunky for you, then that's understandable. Obviously the MH series isn't for everyone, and the Beta wasn't much of a good presentation on how the game would be. If you prefer a more fast-paced action game similar to MH, then i'd suggest to try out either Toukiden and God Eater even if they have time limits in missions (though Toukiden is much more forgiving).

@moviespot: I haven't played it at all. However, I am very interested in MH world.

Great news about the DLCs.

@gamingdevil800: I gave up on Diablos on day one after completing the three quests and haven't played again since. Have people come up with good strats? Might give it another go before the beta ends.

@datriax: Capcom was the king of "on disc dlc", so they shouldn't get a pass, if you're judging by publishers/developers past actions.

@playstationzone: The monsters are kind of loot boxes, and it has been always this way.

@playstationzone:The directors of Monster Hunter World already confirmed that there won't be any lootboxes as they make the hard-working meaningless, they want you to earn with your efforts

@playstationzone: Capcom doesn't have a record of doing that, and even offered ways to get fighters in SF5 for free (though the base, pre-DLC game was severely lacking). The monster hunter devs have also gone on record saying they won't do microtransactions, because the "loot box" style drops are already in the game as random-percentage monster drops, but that they won't ever charge for such things because it defeats the purpose of playing the game.

@Archangel3371: EA is bad.

@jamesreed: Your ip address probably isn't secure or you look like a bot. They must of implemented invisible captcha.

@jamesreed: There's been a surge of spammers in the comments recently, so they probably implemented it to combat the bots.
