why the fuck is there a Monster Hunter movie

The guys behind the Resident Evil movies needed another cash cow after they ended that movie series. Now they are set to ruin Monster Hunter.

Cuz Hollywood is on a quest to rape every IP Capcom has & Capcom is allowing them to do it

Of course Capcom is letting them do it, despite how we feel about those movies they made ass loads of money every single time.

I don’t blame Hollywood for giving people shit they repeatedly buy. ā€œI don’t have to try and you’ll still give me millions?ā€ I’d take advantage of you suckers to.

Making barely recognizable video game adaptations are how the director and his wife keep the spice in their marriage?

So in other words we can prepare for another series of like 6 or 7 films where shit doesn’t make sense and the actual original characters are turned into a joke, all in combination with atrocious CGI?

Alright I guess we can maybe at least get some entertainment out of that trainwreck

What original characters? Lmao. I get your point but MH has a player created character, and everyone else are about as fleshed out as card board.

Are there no relevant/reoccurring NPCs at all? What about World’s story?

Not really from what I can tell. The story is just ā€œWe are researchers in a new land. Discover shit. Ooooh shit Monster attack! Ok back to research.ā€
Haven’t noticed any returning characters, but I’ve only played a few MHs. Even still they have card board personalities, I wouldn’t call any of them memorable…except for maybe the handler…and not for good reasons.

It’s story is there for no other reason then to justify mass slaying of wildlife. That’s it.

In Monster Hunter yeah it is basically has no actual story or distinctive characters besides the monsters and the cat helpers.

Making original characters and story for a Monster Hunter adaptation is necessary, the real world folk transported to another world (Western isekai basically) bullshit is what makes this a terrifying prospects.

Yeah, I think that’s how the original games were.

@drizzt360 Said a while back in the chat program that shall not be named that Baldur’s Gate were the only ā€œDiablo type games that I likeā€ which triggered me because they aren’t even the same genre. :rofl:

Time stamped the ā€œgameplayā€ part.

I wanted the Dark Alliance Balder’s Gate.

Most Baulders Gate fans do not tho…

Nope. Monster Hunter characters don’t even get names. Everyone is referred to by their job title and in the case of World, their generational fleet. Characters are just there to serve a function.

It’s actually a demo of the final build in this case

Shame, feel like we don’t need anymore turn based. Dark alliance or Dragon Age style would’ve been a great compromise. Oh well, I’ll probably still buy it anyway. I like Larian’s work.

there’s room for both styles. if you like turn based games but don’t like anime or jrpgs you might not have a lot of options. no need to kill off something that works and is enjoyable to a bunch of people.

Also did not know baldur’s gate 3 would be turn based. As someone who never really played the old ones and enjoyed the hell out of the divinity original sin games, I welcome the change to turn based.
