Monster Hunter: World Mega Thread

Yeah, I played one on the PSP awhile back. I liked it, just could not keep track of what was going on on that tiny screen.

I DID play Gods Eater Burst on the PSTV…that worked a lot better. Might give this a try.

Game looks really cool, rumors are that its going to be really grindy. I am going to keep an eye on it.

Monster Hunter has always been grindy to a point. You could have kill the same monster 5 times to get that material that you need for the specific gear/weapon you are trying to craft.

Release Date announced; Jan, 26th 2018

Monster Hunter World launches for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One globally on January 26, and those interested in picking it up will have a few options to choose from. In addition to the standard release, Capcom announced today that the open-world game will also be available in Digital Deluxe and Collector’s Editions.

The Digital Deluxe Edition retails for $70 and comes with a variety of customization options for players to use on their hunters, including a Samurai Set skin, three gestures, two sticker sets, and an additional face paint and hair style option. The PS4 version of the Digital Deluxe Edition also comes with 14 weapon-themed PSN avatars. Capcom says all of the aforementioned items will be available to purchase separately when the game launches.

The Collector’s Edition, meanwhile, runs for $150. It contains a physical copy of the game, a voucher for the customization items included in the Digital Deluxe Edition, a hardcover art book, a monster statue, and a code for a digital soundtrack, all housed in a collector’s box. We’ll update this story with a photo of the Collector’s Edition when it becomes available.

Players who reserve the game digitally or at retail for either console will also receive the Origin Set Armor and Fair Wind Charm talisman as special pre-order bonuses. Both items “offer improved starting defense and offense stat boosts for the hunter as well as a useful gathering skill.” Those who pre-order the game digitally from the PlayStation Store will receive a Monster Hunter PS4 theme. Capcom says the Origin Set Armor and Fair Wind Charm “may be made available through alternative means at a later date.”

Monster Hunter World is also coming to PC later next year. Capcom released a new trailer for the game during Sony’s Tokyo Game Show, showcasing World’s story and some of the new monsters and areas they’ll encounter during the adventure, such as the beautiful Coral Highlands.

Looks intriguing now that we’re getting closer to launch…

Oooo. This looks good. I want to get it on PC but that versions delayed until the fall. I may pick it up on the Xbone in the mean time.

Anyone else?

Keeping an eye on this one. Coop in this with GRG tater squad should be fun. Probably have trouble taking down a chicken.

More like squad wipes due to friendly fire “accident”. Chicken laughs. Lala bitches about people not being on his level.

Edit- I’m going to wait a few days for the reviews and then buy it.

Will be buying this one

I’ve been watching some of the streams from the PS4 beta. Probably will be preordering within the week.

Won’t be able to get it on launch, but I will DEFINITELY be picking this up on the Xbox if anyone wants to have a clan or something in-game.

According to a video the clans will be called Squads. They have a 50 player cap but you can join up to 8 Squads. If there are no objections, I wouldn’t mind leading an official GRG Squad. We can even use custom images so I could put the logo up. What’s the process @Lala_Calamari ?

We encourage any member to do this type of thing. The only real requirement is that if a GRG admin or staff member is playing the game they get admin access to the Clan/Squad in case something happens to you or you decided to stop playing, leave GRG, etc. Other than that run with it. Any admin can get you the logo. You can PM me when you are ready for it if you would like.

There has got to be squad officers so I am sure there is a way to get it sorted. Even if it means I relinquish admin status and end up being an Ass Admiral or Butt Captain. Next question is who will be the HMFIC?
