User blog comment:Pink Fatalis/Poll: MH4 is out in Japan! What are your thoughts?/@comment-1011548-20130826171841

Other. The game looks much, much, much better now than it did in that very first concept gameplay video we got so long ago, but I'm still not going to play it because I haven't go a 3DS, and I can't really afford one.

My other general thoughts are that the areas are generally very nice and well detailed, though I'm not sure why we've got two more forests that you can barely tell apart. I'm disappointed swimming was cut - talk about giving up easily - but climbing seems cool. Climbing on monsters seems gimmicky and probably not something I'd use much. Charge Axe is interesting but perhaps over-complicated, Insect Staff is completely nuts but surprisingly cool. My biggest gripe is with the monsters; call me a bitter old cynic, but I get the feeling so many old school lads are being brought back is to save money and increase padding, rather than because Capcom actually think anyone wants to fight Gypceros again. And look at all the trailers and gameplay videos we have; beyond Gyp running up a wall, do any of them show any new moves? I'd be fine is they came back new and improved a la Raths and Diablos in Tri. Bring back as many old monsters as you like if you're doing that, but these look like literal copy+paste jobs.

And the sad thing is, all the new monsters - the meager few we've seen - generally look absolutely amazing.

Just my thoughts.
