Microtransactions in Monster Hunter Wilds can be WAY worse than you think

Ойындар

Microtransactions in Monster Hunter Wilds can be WAY worse than you think:
Additional downloadable content is an aspect of monster hunter games that exists for a very very long time. The older generations were notorious for releasing ludicrous amounts of DLC mostly under the form of collabs or other promotional material.
Even with the revolution that was the 5th generation, this wholesome form of extra goodies would still be released in the newest entries, although in a relatively smaller scale, but with the arrival of World and eventually Rise as well, also came a brand new type of extra content: Microtransactions, and im not talking about preorder bonuses, im talking about the literal hundreds of items available for purchase.

    Except not really because nobody cares about world's event quests either. Sunbreak had good events. The reality is people are graphic whores and are drawn to world's higher fidelity despite the game having some of the worst mechanics in the series. Bad weapon designs, god-awful deco farming endgame, mmo style limited quests, mandatory multi-player, inconvenient cutscenes, powercrept armor and weapons, badly designed fights, dps checks, bad map design, lack of monster variety, but no it's somehow the best MH game because pretty graphics that are already outdated.

It really shocked me as well considering the spokesman for MH stated in interviews they'd *_never_* make DLC which would give more rewards, Or different monsters to fight. Basically things that directly affected the game.... However after Rise and what they did with those weapon DLCs, sheesh. I still remember the backlash was so bad anybody who was seen with the weapon DLC was booted from lobbies by players. It was so bad MH youtubers covered it telling people not to be that mean to fellow hunters and there was better ways to voice yourselves. I still have mixed reception on all of that, but wholeheartedly agree and dislike how those dlc are paid dlc. It pisses me off greatly. Which is why that poll frightened me.

The people up top are typically ego fragile which means they’ll either damage the image of the company by going on a rampage or cut down on the micro-transactions because they can’t handle criticism.

    The room customization is fine, the handler outfits fine. You want to buy them? sure, go ahead, i bought some too. But Rise went way too far and i want to believe nintendo had its fingers in it too. Unfortunate is too that it's not only capcom who desides over these things, it's the big suits, inverstors. They have to appease them too with the monetazation. This has already gone too far and it will never return to normal, and that is the most depressive thing. This will only get worse.

    I can tolerate mtx (even tho I still won't buy them personally) as long as the base layered system for armor/weapons is still free, AND if it's a way to support more actual content in the post-launch (like more monsters in TUs). Sure, in an ideal world everything would be free, but let's be honest, the base MH games already come with enough content to justify the price tag on their own, and making post-launch content on the level of Alatreon, Kulve, Fatalis, Amatsu, etc is expensive AS FUCK. Maybe some fans take them for granted, but when you look at them objectively, the production values are higher than actual GaaS updates like Suicide Squad. In the Capcom leaks from 2020, where they list MH6 budget predictions for base game and support, there is a Fiscal Quarter where they actually expected to go in the negative for 3 months, spending more money on post-launch support than gains in revenue. Of course they still do this with long term plans, but it shows how expensive is it to make these TUs.

    The whole trend of games having microtransactions even for cosmetics is a scourge on gaming. I definitely agree that monster hunter in the late game has as much to do with asthetics as it has to do with weapon/armour skills and stats (especially with layered armours) having this stuff locked behind quests incentives players to stick with the game putting it behind a paywall actively deters players

    Before watching this video I just wanted to say I've never really cared about the MH micro transactions, simply because they didn't actually alter the game or add anything important. And also half of these things are player customisation cosmetics that you should purchase before you make a character, so it makes no sense for those to be event quests because unless you never used your character edit voucher then there's no real reason After watching MOST of the video imma reiterate: Cosmetics dont matter as much as the actual armour and weapons. Layered armour has no functionality only visual appeal. Same with weapon skins it's just cosmetic it's not like it gets buffed for having the skins at all. In fact a lot of the time the BASE GAME Layered stuff is a lot better Adendum: We should really only care or worry about the game when they introduce Micro transactions for physical weapons and armour that aren't cosmetic

    Monster hunter IS a fashion hunter game. If you buy the fashion, there's no "achieving". You want to have fatalis gear to look cool and show your friends you did it and you managed? Prove your worth! Now what would be all for nothing. Cosmetics are fine in a game not about the fashion, like resident evil or tomb raider. But in games like monster hunter is part of the core mechanic. The cosmetics ARE the reward. Now if you can just buy the reward instead of hunting the monster and proving you're capable, it becomes worthless.

    @theonlyoneandtruelorddoofu2769 Yeah but another factor that a lot of people are ignoring is that the cosmetic armour has no actual value that contributes to the game experience like defense, skills, damage, resistances etc. That's the most important factor of the game, and killing fatalis for its armour is another thing outside of looking cool or "Hey I beat fatalis look at my armour", it's got insane skills and defense and what not. Until capcom does something where they actually go pay to win then would I believe it's a massive issue. And even then, while there is so much thats locked to a pay wall, there's even more than that in the base game, and in a lot of cases, they're better than the paid ones, especially in rise, all the others detract from the actual monster hunter feel

Some of the best equipment of the entire game were paid, in the latest updates they added the transmogs which are the same of the layered equipment but only for the armor, I never care to check each of them to confirm they were selling the transmogs as well but seeing the already paid armor being there as transmog I assumed it did. Nothing that I'm not already used to seeing how they are implementing and taking the same actions they did over the years with Frontier.

    I just wanna start this with, I'm not defending aggressive microtransactions. In the case of Dragon's Dogma 2, if you play any amount of time in it you understand that you are NOT required to purchase any of those Microtransactions, they are egregiously awful and people have been bombing each and everyone of those microtransactions with negativity should Wilds release with such microtransactions there will be an overwhelming flood of hate regarding it. Capcom already understands from DDII that the microtransactions regarding skipping Core gameplay elements are not welcomed. In the case of Rise despite it also having a TON of microtransactions they remain cosmetics as they should! Even if they changed it so we can buy layered weapons now it's STILL not changing the fact it's not altering the core gameplay elements. I feel as a consumer and fans of Monster Hunter we should be cautious for the future but so long as they remain cosmetics it should be fine. It sucks everything is being monetized however Free events still exist and still grant us layered armor and weapons. I trust the people working on Monster Hunter they will fill it will content and free updates that will surpass the Cheap 1-5 dollar skins that the bigwigs pump out.

    Hey, i get what you're saying here but part of the point of the video was that aesthetics *are* a core gameplay element. Seeing armor that is powerful *and looks cool* motivates people to keep playing the game. The next cool sword or badass armor set is and should be something people put time into. Just handing it to players in the form of paid dlc takes that element of progression away, especially when it looks cooler than what you could otherwise get yourself. i don't think the layered armor and weapons in game are necessarily a bad thing, as there is still a material cost and you have to put in effort to get them. The cosmetic items that *don't* really affect gameplay would probably be things like room decor and handler outfits, but it would probably be more fun if these were also event quest rewards.

Desire sensor be damned when I finish the perfect layered armor set after days of hunting is always so satisfying. perhaps I'm just accustomed to microtransactions now through it being so front and center. I agree more rewards from event quests would be fun, old monster hunter did have so much to choose from in comparison to World. Maybe Wilds will bring back that way of event quests considering how long it's been in Development should the leaks prove true. Still my original statement of trusting the Monster Hunter Team I will hold firm. even if my trust in Capcom remains flimsy

    Haven't actually seen any MH Wilds leaks, and i might check them out l8r, but, it might also be more fun to go in without knowing too much. We'll see I have a lot of personal hopes for MH Wilds as to where they take the game's feel and difficulty, but whether these are met, i'm still optimistic that it'll be a fun game :)

    Its incredibly trashy and it does negatively affect the game as a whole. There’s nothing positive about it and we should stand against it. But also can you stop saying that it affects the gameplay loop? Because it doesn’t. It affecting everything *EXCEPT* the gameplay loop is bad enough. You really don’t need to overcorrect and spread misinformation by saying it does things it doesn’t.

    I think he makes a fair point in favor of it affecting the gameplay. This genre is all about cosmetics, man there's been so many times I've done a particular quest solely for layered armor. The cosmetics are a big motivator for playing the game, and by locking things behind a paywall you're already doing sonething fundementally similar to locking things behind a paid hunt. I still think it's fair to critisize dlc such as this regardless of affect on gameplay. Companies have normalized paying for cosmetics, but that doesn't make it less exploitative. These are things that should be in the game already, especially so in the case of triple A games like Monster Hunter. You're paying $60 (sometimes $70 now) for a game, it better be a whole package. Capcom doesn't need our pity or extra pocket change, they are a massive corporation and we don't owe them anything.

    It does affect the gameplay. Before you could show off what you have acchieved in skill, what you have done with your time and show the dedication with gear. It was a reward from your own achieving and hard work. All of that feels pointless and null if you can literally skip that whole part by buying the pretty gears that look WAY better than the ones you get with hard work. In world you want to be big and muscly? Hunt those giant apes! You want to have wiggler head? Learn to cap them. You want to have skins for your armour? Go to guiding lands and prove your worth to have them. In rise you skip all that by just buying stuff that looks better. You prove nothing, you achieve nothing, you need 0 skill. That's the whole monster hunter point. Hunt good looking good.

    @@theonlyoneandtruelorddoofu2769 No, it doesn't. And if it does, it's indirect at best. For a start, layered equipment is a very recent thing in Monster Hunter and it is incredibly "bonus". You are not expected to hunt monsters specifically for layered armour and the fact that many people do doesn't really change that. Most people generally wouldn't call event quests a part of the "core gameplay loop", more just a consequence of the gameplay loop meeting promotional campaigns for other media. Likewise, paid layered armour is not a part of the primary experience of the game. I'd argue the entire point of it is that it's OUTSIDE the core gameplay loop by being paid while giving no gameplay benefits. By definition, THIS IS NOT AFFECTING GAMEPLAY. It has literally nothing to do with the gameplay other than being an item you can acquire. I really need to emphasize here. I am NOT DEFENDING MICROTRANSACTIONS. These ones don't affect gameplay whatsoever, but they do affect the quality of non-gameplay content in the game, and as a result can negatively impact people's experiences playing the game. The reason we don't like it is because it reduces the aesthetic quality of the free content in the game, which is BAD. But if you go around swearing off microtransactions because they "ruin gameplay" when they clearly don't, publishers CAN and WILL use that as ammunition to justify microtransactions and accuse people who say they're shit of being "confused" or "nonsensical haters". We obviously don't want that. It's paramount to keep people informed and make arguments against microtransactions strong and convincing. Using language incorrectly, even when you are correct, is not convincing. It's a fallacy of the human mind that something which is worded incorrectly may seem less correct, which sucks, but we can't control it. What we can control is calling people out for using incorrect terminology and demanding they do better.

    @@-lijosu- Lots of me and my friends are fashion hunters in monster hunter. We loved the new changes in guiding lands to get the armour sets to make the best looking sets we could for our weapons. It is a VERY big part of out gameplay and it does hurt it immensly. Even at the start of the game we usually overlook the bonuses in favor of choosing the looks. And earning gear has always been the core for us. And this whole mentality of "oh it's just armour it's just layered armour" is a fast slide down to worse and you know it. We should be fighting against it together no matter our stance because no matter if we are fashion hunters or not this will hurt the game and gaming industy on the long run. More we allowe it more it will push further, eventually us getting more and more gear behind a paywall I'm not blaming you or saying you play the game wrong, but for me and my friends the armours are part of it and layered gear ruins it. it takes away the feeling of achievement

    @@theonlyoneandtruelorddoofu2769 If we should be fighting against it together then it would be easy to compromise and accept that not everything that ruins an experience affects gameplay. If you are choosing not to pay attention to skills then you are actively choosing not to engage in core gameplay at least one way. That doesn't make you "wrong" for knowing microtransactions destroy your experience regardless. If you want to have a real impact on problems that affect you, you need to understand the problems and the enemy. That is not negotiable. And it happens in this case that it is generally accepted in game design that "gameplay" encompasses the intended gameplay loop. If it is a cosmetic "extra", that is not considered to affect "gameplay". What needs to be done is telling developers and publishers that we do not want it EVEN THOUGH it does not affect gameplay ACCORDING TO THEM. The best way to do this is to say that it doesnt affect gameplay... And we still dont want it! I've seen people stand up against microtransactions the way you are and they just get lost in the crowd of people saying something is "pay to win" when the only microtransactions do not affect gameplay. People *laugh at this*. Don't contribute to the pro-mtx propaganda. Be better.

    Don’t hate all the mtx just think about a seasonal progression system! Season 1 is 2 weeks after release and is for 3 month u get layered stuff and cosmetics etc and the premium one gets very hard to grind material like a Rathalos Hull or Gem whatever u know what I mean or a very high level Decoration I could very well imagine this could happen!! The last and highest level on the Seasonpass is maybe a ticket for a special quest u couldn’t access otherwise or a ticket for a special weapon and maybe with every season we get one more new Monster to hunt and the season is built around this monster with an ecology this would be cool This would make a fair amount of money for Capcom and their investors, it would give players something to do and if you want u could but the premium pass to make the grind a little less Grindi … Maybe their will be 3-4 seasons every season like 3 month and after the 4th season the big DLC comes with new season and now you can take it with the seasons to a game lifespan to 5+ years and generate a fair amount of money
