The PSP version of the game is the #2 in terms of software sales in Japan from Jan to Sept. Anyone thinking this game isn't big...well...you're...uhmmm...you're small...hehehe.

It's big in Japan, this isn't really a coup here. Is the Wii the DS of the console market in Japan?

Athrun is probably right - they'll port it to the PSP, but this time they'll actually hold off and not announce it before the Wii version comes out.

I know nothing about this game, but just hearing about it briefly has piqued my interest for some reason. I guess I thought initially that it would be kind of like shadow of the collosus, but with organic monsters instead of stone goliaths and more of them.

After looking up some game play videos it looks to me as though it more follows the "slash with your giant sword until everything dies" route, which is kind of a shame. Although these are just wild conclusions i've drawn from watching 5 minutes of game play, so if anyone would like to enlighten me on the finer points of these games I am quite interested.

Either way, this looks good for the wii, I hope that it comes stateside aswell.

*Drools*

I've always wanted a game like this; where all I do is go out adventuring, killing like a savage.

Awesome.

Man, fighting creatures underwater is going to be so nerve-wracking...

Endless Ocean with excitement.

Stogi · « **Reply #36 on:** September 17, 2008, 03:15:52 PM »

How did this game play in the prequels? Was it like Zelda or Shadow of colossus? Or did play like that one really gay game...............Phantasy star?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #37 on:** September 17, 2008, 03:39:10 PM »

Stogi I am not sure how this game plays. It sound great though.Also please refrain from calling a game gay.

So has anybody played these games?

Stogi · « **Reply #38 on:** September 17, 2008, 04:36:08 PM »

I know, I know.......gay people take offense whenever I reference something "bad" as gay....

I don't mean to, but I do it all the time.

My dike friend would always call me out on it, but ironically, never cared that I called her my dike friend, even though it's basically like saying "my ****** friend." The world these days........

I know when I was younger I swore alot so I would replace the swear word with a word that sounded humorous.
So has anybody played these games?

I've always read that the point of contention with this game was the fighting mechanic. If you like the system, the game is top-tier, otherwise the game is frustrating and repetitive. Take that for what it's worth.

Spinnzilla · « **Reply #41 on:** September 17, 2008, 07:08:56 PM »

Hopefully that "chatting" part for online could mean wiispeak use. probably not though. :/

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #42 on:** September 17, 2008, 07:11:42 PM »

Probably more Brawl taunts =]

Nintendo WFC is sofisticated like that.

In the PS2/PSP monster hunters it pretty much plays like Phantasy Star Online except that there are no levels (as in level ups), the only thing you have are your equipment and inventory.

The game is mission based and all items can be customized, you pretty much pick your play style via what weapons you prefer. And it is much more skill based than PSO ever was.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #44 on:** September 17, 2008, 08:44:09 PM »

Is it action-based? Cuz I'm not sure what skill means in this context.

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #45 on:** September 17, 2008, 09:40:00 PM »

Skill as in you don't just run up to the enemy and keep mashing the attack button or secondary attack button but know when to strike, run away, lure enemies to your traps, divide and conquer while making sure your character won't die a horrible death(makes you fail your current mission sometimes and half of your gold and inventory on hand) also each mission may take up to 30 - 90 minutes especially the later ones.

The PSP versions kills the PSP battery especially if you leave the disc streaming option on (turning it off increases loading times but obviously doesn't strain the battery as much).

Weird, I always thought that Monster Hunter was Capcom's Pokemon.

Guess I was wrong.

That's so awesome Toruresu! I was feeling the exact same way

I never paid attention to Monster because that stupid pokemon genre died for me a long time ago.
