Fuck underwater combat!

Man, The Lagiacrus fight in generations is fucking garbage. That thing is not meant to be fought on land. And fighting land only Plesioth after having a water version. Christ.
I want underwater back so bad. Made battles so dynamic.

good.

I don't think this should be getting as much shit as it is right now. I doubt it will be as dumbed down as it looks, they just wanted to make the trailer look appealing to people who maybe aren't familiar to the franchise (not sure if it accomplished that or not). I'm excited and I hope it will be godlike, but if it isn't, I have a Switch. Even if it does turn out to be a shitter, I will still be glad Capcom gave putting the franchise on a non-nintendo device a shot.
Good. I feel bad for people who like it but I just want ground combat.underwater combat isnt back

As someone who played all 3 on 3ds, it looks incredible. Finally moving to a more organic way of fighting. Instead of just stupidly running around and bashing
The rumour said that Capcom were panicking after the level of success of X in Japan and the West, and that was before the Switch turned out to be a huge hit. That rumour said that Capcom were hedging their bets, it seems like they've gone even further that way by calling this 'Monster Hunter World'. Guessing that rather than Portable they've just designated the Switch game to be 5 and this to be the spin-off now.
Only reason I can see it not being included is because they didn't have the time, and they have a short amount of time to finish and polish off what they've shown so far. With dual-sticks (and other buttons for action/camera inputs) and M/K on PC, there's no reason to not include a 3D environment.
XCX did it just fine with Skells, and that was in many ways mecha-MH at that point in the game.

The gameplay video is literally still this lol. More setpieces and dynamic elements make the game more engaging fortunately.
I've wanted them to remove load screens for so long now. Thank god we're out of the PS2 zone.
Really curious to learn more about this and hope it is a spin off / nontraditional MH game. The Wii U version was my least favorite because it turns out this isn't a series I want to play solely on the TV in my living room (or spend the $$ to double dip on the 3DS version and deal with the save transfer system they had in place).
For me the best case scenario is if they changed things up a bunch with this one and also announced a more traditional mainline game on one of the portable platforms further down the road.

bruh calm down. made that comment in the heat. i'm glad he has nothing to do with this
Yah definitely, I'mma miss that. :-(
I miss water in general. It damn sure wasn't perfect, but it did give us a lot of interesting battles.
Though fuuuuuck Plesioth. Ole laser-beamin jerk. -_-

Also, frankly I think the underwater battles played fine in Tri and 3U: HD. And there weren't even that many either. I think 5 or 6. Royal Ludroth, Gobul, Lagiacrus (Abyssal), Plesioth (Green), Caedeus and Dire Miralis. That's really not a huge deal.
I loved the variety. This shit needs to come back.

Boo.
The running and bashing is what makes MH good though.
It's like saying you don't want a Devil May Cry game with all the slashing and jumping.

The trailer could be deceptive given it's not pure gameplay. We really need a look at someone with an actual controller playing it. I don't assume you're dead set on buying the game purely on this one trailer of course. I just remember people who didn't really dig MonHun think styles/arts in Generations made the game something really different. It did not and it was obvious to the people who could look past the flashy lights beaming from the hunter arts. I suspect World is quite different though. It's hard to tell where someone like you fits in given your feelings for past games. The same goes for me and my love for past games.
I suspect the game series splits from here as rumor suggests. Monster Hunter 5 won't be Generations 3.0 of course but will look to lock in more on long time fans like me.

Good. As someone who started the series with 3U, underwater combat was the jankiest thing I ever experienced in Monster Hunter.underwater combat isnt back
Switch wasn't even a thing when this began production. This is also being developed for home consoles in mind whereas Switch versions will feature local co-op and the traditional quest formula you've played since the dawn of time.
Eventually you may see features from this being implemented in the Switch versions if received well.
Damn. Oh well, onto hoping it comes back for MH5 then.underwater combat isnt back

This game looks INCREDIBLE. I hope the PC release isn't too much later, because I desperately want to get back into Monster Hunter and this is just what I need.
Underwater exploration exists while underwater combat is gone.
This is the best scenario
What's the point? Part of the point of underwater is that it enables a third degree of freedom for combat vectors. Just swimming underwater is pointless.
It was hard for me to manage on the Wii, but I was also a child back then.
Confirmed to have all 14 weapons.

Something interesting: The T. rex's hands are covered in the same sort of material as its nose, so I think it might inflate them for a few attacks. The retractable sails on the back might be involved in a few attacks too.
Also its tail has some short spikes on the bottom, likely just to add some detail and add a bit of justification for its tail swing attacks.
Parts you can break would be the nose, tail cut, back, and maybe the hands.

Don;t worry, every weapon type is in the game. It remains to be seen if they'll play the same though. I can't go back to playing dual blades without archdemon mode.
I think the last MH on Nintendo consoles will be XX, that was a good run.

XCX doesnt have underwater combat... what are you talking about?
Again where do people come up with these ideas that the switch is limited graphically, there's literally nothing intensive about what capcom showed.
If capcom wants to go bankrupt sure. There's no way they're done making bank off japan.
japan cant drop a 4 million seller just like so.
I doubt it. Not until Sony announces a new handheld anyway.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that misses em.
I missed it in 4 and Generations. Watching a monster dive into the water and then you just stand there and do nothing legit feels so fucking stupid after playing Tri.
Lol, this does not look out of the Switches realm even slightly.
Exploration and traversal. Moving from one location to another via underwater paths. They want it to look and feel like a living breathing island so you should be able to swim.
Looks like something that PS3/XBOX 360 could run
