NEWS: Freedom Wars Game's English-Subtitled Story Promo Streamed

I don't know about this game. On one hand the visual style looks cool. On the other hand it just looks like another bland and boring MH clone. Going even deeper though, it dosen't even look like a good MH clone. All the gameplay looks slow plodding.

I really wish the high budget games on the Vita weren't MH clones. I don't like MH at all.

So how did games in the hunting game genre become Monster Hunter Clones?? This game has literally nothing to do with MH except for the fact they're in the same genre. Hell the mechanics are not even the same… If what your saying is the case then really MH is a clone of Phantasy Star, which is the first of the genre…. the assumption isn't valid. If you don't like hunting games in general that's different.

Because they are clones, only made because MH is popular?

GTA3 wasn't the first open world game either, but it was the most inspirational. When we had games come out and try GTA3's shitck we called them GTA clones.

Same for FPS with Doom and even fighters with SF2.

That's how game genres start.

PSO may pre-date MH, but it's MH that has inspired these imitators. These games do follow MH lead even if they do or try different things. Hence they are MH clones. It almost seems dumb to me to deny that. To say this game has nothing to do with MH is basically lying to yourself. My assumption is incredibly valid, because it's the assumption anyone taking one glance at this game will have. It's also the reason this game exists, it clearly is targeted at the audience and to fill the void on the vita.

And of course I don't like the hunting genre(gee this genre if it even is that yet is even named after MH), thats what I said in my post.
