Is it me or the game looks like shit on hdtv?
NSMB looks way better...
Yep I think it looks like shit too....
Also I find the game boring also, it's just mindless hacking and slashing without a story.
Absolutele overhyped I think.
To eaches own, I guess. Some love it, some hate it. But if you classify it that way then you have to classify, almost, all games that way. Especially now a days where every game is either a mindless shooter/action/violent game or an interactive movie. And the game does have a story, just requires you read and follow the plot as it unfolds (aka talking to npc after everyday and/or after every completed quest (not just when there is a text bubble above their heads) interpreting the nondialoged cutscenes and cg movies aswell as the monster themselves. They add to the story as well).
As for me I love the game. The whole fact you need to make, pretty much, all your items by going out and collecting materials just is awesome to me. But then again I am one of those ppl that loved games like Phantasy Star Online for the collection aspect of trying to get all the rares (or rather, the rares I wanted) The story goes about at the same pace as the stories in any version of Phantasy Star Online (excluding Phantasy Star Universe, but then again that isnt of the same universe as Phantasy Star Online). The gameplay is what I really love because it is, majority, skill based and makes you feel like you are really hunting this ferocious beast (excelling over great odds cept, unlike most games, Monster Hunter doesnt dumb the challenge down just so you feel some flawed since of acheivement for doing what a 7yo could do). My only grip is with the camera, or better yet; the zoom in controls that end making me zoom in close to my character when I am just trying to rotate the camera.
As far as the graphics go, it is the best looking Monster Hunter yet. But the series has been known to keep production values low. Graphics arent everything. But doesnt look that bad, to me, on my 52" HDTV.
Oh and as far as the online, it works fine using UsbLoader Gx for those that want to know.
