Yeah it's weird how people were immediately sour on it. If they show the E3 hands-off demo to the public people will change their tune.

Everyone I've talked to whose seen actual gameplay is excited, which says a lot. Not sure why they haven't shown that demo publicly yet

Hopefully they will! I'm only a MH vet as of 3U. Would love to hear the opinion of a series-long fan (excited for Jared's impressions!)

A "leak" a few months ago suggested as much, and the initial preview didn't show much to disprove it. Glad to hear that's not the case.

The only real negative about World for me is that the graphics didn't look super colorful. Looks fun otherwise.

The map they showed at E3 is plenty colorful. I think MH4 upped the saturation too much, this feels like a nice naturalistic balance.

That's good to hear! I can only judge from the conference trailer. And it certainly didn't look bad by any means, just a BIT washed out

They turned their fucking backs on every Nintendo console/3DS owner by refusing to localize MHXX. Fuck World. #MHXXForTheWest or bust.

I think a lot of people are just upset because XX isn't coming over here for the Switch.

It's the first major reveal of a MH game since it got pretty big in the West. They wouldn't have seen, say, the MH4 reveal which was similar

it was a leak that seems to have gotten everything right so far that said Sony paid for Switch not to get MHW and to westernize the series

This idea is so dumb. It makes literally 0 sense since it's coming to everything except switch. It's clearly just because of power limits.

the logic Ive seen behind it is that Sony doesnt want to lose a foothold in Japan. Xbone doesnt matter there, and its where MH matters most

I mean sure, but it's more plausible that the Switch is 1/5th-1/10th the power of the others and would require totally different assets.
