I think some sort of competition element could be fun. Maybe a tournament where teams take on a timed challenge and the fastest time wins prizes. I don't like the idea of the hunters fighting each other though. Not in this game.

I'm going to revisit this post in a month. PUBG will be in the top 5 for the entire year, but I'm betting MH will for sure be top 5 in a month.
Why is the split so important for this game? I see this type of post in just about every MH thread.
Most important take away is that despite the ludicrous notion that Japanese games don't sell on Xbox, they actual do.
Nice! We'll get to compare actual sales numbers in the next NPD thread.
Yeah my two most Destiny obsessed friends (who've never played a MH game before) are now hopelessly addicted to MHW.
I find the split between versions interesting and it's germane to the thread topic.
I wonder if the store team could get a "most downloaded" category going. Sure, it might be redundant given that "most played" typically covers that area but I would like to see the ratio of downloads to games actually being played, especially since first party games are now hitting game pass.It will be interesting to see if Sea of Thieves takes the top spot given that its a GamePass game.
This is great for Monster Hunter, but not like PUBG got "dethroned." This is based on recent sales, so you would expect the latest big game to always be on top. PUBG being on top for that long is pretty insane, especially considering it's still in Game Preview.
Nada, just change store regions and they'll have access to the US storefront. No need for another Microsoft account.So japanese players can create a gamertag on us marketplace and buy the game, then play with their gamertags, right?
Yeah, they've literally gained a new audience across consoles, their next game will be on par with the top games this gen, brilliant move by capcom to go console/pcI think this is the first time Xbox fans got the taste of MH on Xbox consoles so I'm not too surprised. Capcom's strategy was really smart here.
define "fine" 15-20 fps surely aint "fine" on my end plus the input lag. the drops occur especially when you're moving from town to town. (ie. Pochinki to the Bridge to the Military Base)
I just discovered the gathering hub today, never bothered to go up there, I've been farming the same monster I struggled against solo for the past hour and having a blast. This game is a lot of fun when playing with others.The community on Xbox is alive and well, and is actually a bit busier than I had thought it would be.
There's multiple SOS's out for every monster you could be interested in farming (Low Rank & High Rank) plus a ton of people responding to SOS's (myself included), and since the multiplayer was broken in the beginning, a lot of the more advance players are still using the LFG system to set up specific lobbies, which is much better than what's in game if your interested in finding a lobby to meet up with randoms in the gathering hub and actually chill instead if hopping straight into the hunt.
All in all, I hope it did well enough for Capcom to show us a bit more love next game.
This is great because I had thought it would sell like shit on Xbox (based off comments on the internet lol)
Nah now it's switching over to" Crash trilogy won't sell on the Xbox due to its audience"Great news! All that doomsaying about the lack of community support seems overblown now, doesn't it?
I would say that the stereotype to certain extent was true in the past, but it seems like it's shifting which is nice."Somethingsomething Xbox gamers shootbang wrong demographic Halo/Forza no audience something something."

But it's not though. Shooter games do well everywhere not just Xbox. And if you check the top 10 most played games you see 2 Battle royals games, 2 first person shooters, 1 open world(GTA), 2 sports(Madden &2k), 1 action adventure(Monster Hunter),1 kids game(Roblox), 1 survival game(Ark)it's great monster hunter does well, but to be fair to a certain extent it's true that xbox's demographic is mostly people that love shooters and racing.
Don't worry this doesn't mean that people will stop posting "PS players have better taste than Xbox players" type posts."Somethingsomething Xbox gamers shootbang wrong demographic Halo/Forza no audience something something."
But wasn't the consensus that by the holiday, Crash was supposed to be on the Xbox? What happened?
I mean, it's Monster Hunter which is in line with modern RPGs so the aspect of the game appeals to all gamers on both consoles. I wouldn't put MHW in the same vain as FFXV or even something like turn based like Persona which aestically looks more Japanese than MHW. So Imo, until more common Japanese games make it to Xbox, im still going to sit with that until mostly proven otherwise.
Mind explaining this bit?
I'm 90 hours into the game and I'm drawing a blank with how MH: World is in any shape way or form similar to titles like Assassins Creed: Origins, The Witcher III, or the Elder Scrolls or Fallout?
Depends, the people saying the player base would be dead on XB1 were definitely overblowing it. But most people were saying the player base would be significantly higher on PS4 and that the game would survive longer on PS4, and that much is probably true.Great news! All that doomsaying about the lack of community support seems overblown now, doesn't it?
So japanese players can create a gamertag on us marketplace and buy the game, then play with their gamertags, right?
Quest structure, fighting to get more gear, crafting, leveling and progression systems. There's a ton of overlap with current RPGs today. The biggest difference with this compared to the games you listed is this one is more made for multiplayer purposes a la games like Destiny.
And why are people expecting that this game wouldn't have sold period on the Xbox? Come on now. That's a very disingenuous statement considering it's a game that has been exclusively on a handheld for years before moving over to consoles.
