User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Discussion of the Week: 2017/@comment-26421638-20171230104457

1) 2017 was kinda an unfriendly year for Western Users, While in Japan they got MHXX, Frontier's 10th anniversary, MHW Announcement, Updates for Stories and more, We only got an announcement for MHW and received an outdated Stories. Good for them, but not for us.

2) I'll skip this question for reasons.

3) I'm praying for MHW that won't be a mess, for Localized MHXX and for a better release schedule with Stories DLCs/Updates. But I'm asking too much.

4) With 2nd Gen (MHF2 to be more accurate), never expected that a "simple" gift for Christmas of years ago (Psp+Freedom 2) could change my videogamer's life forever.

5) What brought me there? Same reason as many of you... Issues at the beginning? Of course! XD I remember the first weeks were Monsters Like Giadrome, Kut-Ku or Congalala were "challenging" into the eyes of a newbie, and let's not talk about Elder Dragons or Tigrex. Also, the good ol' times when drinking potions at the wrong place/moment were a thing.

6) Let's be onest: is undoubtedly the best generation so far. Most complete and most balanced of the others, sure they did some mistakes (Apex and Lv140 Guild Quests for 4U and Hypers or Farming Deviants in Gen) but generally remains the best.

7) No cheap difficulty stuff like the ones mentioned above, and returning Lucent Narga or a reworked Lunastra and Gaoren. And maaaaybe a new Gunner Weapon (I was expecting to see it in world but I was wrong).

8) In a first instance I screamed like a Gigginox, dancing like a (CENSORED) and constantly trying and failing Backflips, but into my darkest and deepest part of my mind I was a bit worried.

9) Unpopular Opinion: No, it isn't. While I do appreciate graphics, new mounting mechanic, weapon balancing and little tweaks like the possibility to moving while drinking potions etc. I don't like everything else: A huge part of new monsters are meh, Maps (while they look more beautiful) are a mess, new monsters AI makes them almost retarded and more clunky instead, Slinger is 99,5% useless and most of the other features (like a "True living world" with small animals or Monsters interactions) are just meh. Long story is short: I was super hyped about MHW but after I've played the beta, hype was almost killed and I'm really sceptic about the final result of this project. Hopefully I'm wrong.

10) At least the return of missing flagships in MHW as DLCs (if some of them will miss), also, I would really like to see Kecha Wacha, Nerscylla, Barioth, Gravios, Elder Dragons or Leviathans in MHW...

11) Yes, especially in case of issues with MHW. MHXX still remains a symbolic end of the 4th Gen, the biggest and most complete MH so far (excluding Frontier) and of course I can't wait to Hunt Valphalk, Atoraru Ka or Deviant Astalos and Diablos. Also BraveStyleForTheWest.

12) I Don't really care if is localized by Capcom, Nintendo, Konami, Bethesda or From Software, the only thing thing that matters, is that WILL be localized! In case will be localized by Nintendo however, I don't want to see the same release schedule with Stories (No Announcements, and DLCs randomly released without a fixed schedule).

13) For what I know, Stories for Mobile was directly made with update 1.3, so if 1.3 Update won't come to us, we probably won't see it in our Play/Apple Stores. I really would like that will be localized just for the sake of the game, but I won't buy it.

14) I Tie Between a Charge Blade F or a brand new weapon, who knows? Maybe they could get Accel Axe from MHXR!

15) Ukanlos (They got Narga, a 2nd Gen Monster, and Amatsu, a "large" Monster, so why not?), Giadrome, Seregios, Agnaktor, Zamtrios, Kecha Wacha, Nerscylla, and maybe Fated Four in a far future.

16) Teostra (my fav), Rajang (Because HC Rajang wasn't enough for hardcore players :P), Monoblos (Zenith Daimyo's skull may be a hint) Gravios (just random), Garuga (random), Zamuza and Baruragaru (they deserve more love).

17) Still waiting for "simplest" Frontier Monsters Like Espinas, Orugarons, Akura Vashimu, Berukyurosu, Dyuragaua, Baruragaru or maybe even Laviente.

18) According to Capcom? Yes. According to us? No.

19) When I've completed for fhe the first time a MH (MHGen) at 100%. A huge satisfaction for someone who wasn't capable to do it before. MHW and MHST announcements were important too of course!

20) Playing online with MHGen in the latest months is something to forget: Unstable Servers, Error 006 0612 Everywhere and I don't get why I'm meeting a lot of newbies with Astral Armor with empty Slots!? Also, my second day with MHW Beta was a day to forget.

Owwww my fingers...
