i'm actually vehemently against this game coming stateside. it feels so bleh. it's not made by tsujimoto. its using a 3rd party engine rather than their own assets like capcoms mt framekwork or panta rhei. it doesn't have anywhere near the monster hunter feel. lousy monster design.. no jrpg feel, basically it just look like someone took gen 2 monster models and poured it through  cryengine 3 and called it a day.. no new or revamped generation models and boring looking character design. by my own recolection this game is dead to me for not being tsujimoto "A" team monster hunter made and for using cryengine as a crutch for HD visuals. a true monster hunter game would not need that and they'd do it 5x better than that garbage with fresh monster designs too.
