I've already pre-ordered it.
I've never played a Monster Hunter game but if it is by the Dragons Dogma developers then I'm sure the gameplay will be fantastic. Climbing on monsters, chopping off their horns which drop on the ground to be collected. The monsters have a lot of entertaining AI routines based on the attacks they're receiving, like shaking you off their backs or grasping their weak-point cyclops eye, stunned, while you literally break the armor off his legs.
Personally, I don't like anime, but I'm willing to look past that style to the clearly very nice animations and gameplay they help make.
This is a very AAA title and the first time a MH game has made it to PC which must have a lot to do with how well Dragons Dogma was received. So, yeah. I guess if you liked Dragons Dogma, or would have if it had co-op….. But also if you had played long enough head off to the DLC area and seen where the game becomes pure dungeon crawler and boss hunter, where you see these hints at what MHW could be like. The best bosses are never in their rooms and require some sort of bait to attract them. It's not always an item, it could be kill enough minions to enrage him or breaking the boss free from chains, etc.
Plus, joxer is right. This IS an MMO! I hope. Just one with party based content only so it doesn't lag and can do low latency feeling console action gameplay online. I hope. Similar to Dark Souls, I hope.
I don't even know how they do the network stuff. Is it peer2peer sort of thing like Dark Souls III? Dedicated servers? Anyone know?
