If it isn't already, monster hunter will be capcom's most successfull franchise easily. Well, i don't like monster hunter, but it has to have some qualities i don't see if it single-handedly made the psp a success and is selling like that. It might be japan's biggest seller apart from pokemon and nintendo games.
That makes in already one of Capcom's Top 15 best-sellers of all time, ahead of Street Fighter V
wow! I wonder how much of that is coming from PS5 in JP? Those are insane figures!!
This will encourage devs to release broken game's
Not really, because they lost about 2m sales from the performance. The game was always going to do extremely well, the fact that the performance is bad hurt still hurt it, it just hurt it from a higher starting point.
But an unoptimized game like this shouldn't sell well as gamers should vote with wallet. But mh fans are like pokemon fans. They will just buy it regardless
MHWilds is nowhere near Pokémon ScVi in terms of performance issues. Texturing is a bit screwed up on console, as well as unsteady frame-rate, but that’s about it. (Not to mention: Pokémon has never once hit 90OC. Nowhere near it.) If it’s a fun game, then I couldn’t care less about the graphical performance.
Digital foundry said they can't recommend PC version which is quite bad. It'd not graphical.performance but having PS3 textures is bad and not counting fps issues.. pokemon is made on a underpowered system. MH game does not have this issues so Capcom has no excuse knowing that the game will sell well.
