Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-765166-20130914052109

With the advent of MH4's release, the times have called for us to gather all again. This post here is originally from a Facebook Community Group for Monster Hunter in which I happen to be a member of. One of the group's leaders have formerly run a Facebook Page which have done nothing but promote the game amongst the hundreds, thousands and millions of people that are currently logged on at Facebook. He has been a friend to MH Wikia's User:Vesuvius and Kogath of Minegarde.com.

So he has posted this as an announcement to the group and as part of my regained love for the series I am going to do my part as the MH Wikia is part of the whole MH Community. So here I share his words:

First off, I want to give a massive thanks to Kogath for dedicating so much time to posting MH4 info and hype. We're a strong community. We pushed for a game, and we got MH3U. We were given a region lock, which we contested, and defeated. We've hunted countless of Monsters. We've poured time, effort, and parts of our lives into this series. We live and breathe Monster Hunter.

And it's time we did something new.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate sold quite successfully in the West. I can safely say that Patrick, myself, and every other MH community page back in the day successfully hyped out of that game and increased the number of buyers substantially. I may not have a page anymore, but I figure I've still got some influence in this community. So here's what we need to do. We need to build some fucking hype.

More than I hyped MH3U. More than Kogath has hyped MH4 to date.

I know people are taking the easy route and ordering MH4 internationally. I'm strongly considering this, but I feel my inability to read Japanese will hinder my game experience heavily. So I want us all to hype the fuck out of this game and the series. However you can. Gameplay videos. Drawings. Conventions. Talk about it to your friends. Play it on the 3DS and give the unknowing inside knowledge. Surprise me.

The fact of the matter is, I want to see MH4 hit the West. And I know we as a community can get behind the hype train.

It's a long shot, but Capcom is estimating net gains of $12million for MH4 in Japan. The game is obviously going to succeed there. We just need to show them that it can happen here, too.
