It's amazing how much people's opinions can differ... :D

I've been reading a lot of Japanese reviews, and on Amazon JP right now, MH4G is sitting at 2.5/5 stars, with one of the primary complaints being that this version hardly adds any new content. I have seen many, many reviews basically stating that - "For customers that already own 4, it's an insult to charge full price for this! Should have been DLC content for the original."

Now, I know that people (apparently, even the Japanese) love to just go with "Something I didn't like? ONE STAR - WORST GAME EVAH!" type reviews, but the fact that there are so many here, plus the fact that previous versions seemed to have much better reviews on the same site (Monster Hunter 3G is sitting at 4/5 on Amazon JP), gives me pause, and makes me wonder whether or not there is some truth to these complaints.


Edit: For anyone wondering, some other complaints I am seeing are:

  • They have gone too far with trying to make the game artificially difficult. There are too many cases where the monster has an opening that is impossible to read, extremely small, or has none at all. On top of this, people seem pissed that everything seems to be ridiculously fast, and doing massive damage. Seems to be a general feeling that stuff has went from feeling "challenging" to straight "unfair".
  • Quite a few of the monsters seem to have attacks that are "homing" now (I.e, even if you have done a good job with positioning yourself, a monster will switch direction mid attack, causing that attack to still hit).
  • Due to increased "difficulty" all the of the new content is extremely unfriendly (/impossible) to solo players.
  • Not much in the way of new weapons/armor.
  • None of the complaints people had about the base 4G version were addressed (The players seem to feel that the developer(s) are ignoring them.)

    Also, before anyone starts in on me, I'm not trying to start a shitstorm with this (Please don't shoot the messenger!). I'm just trying to convey what I'm reading the Japanese customers complaining about (And these complaints seem pretty consistent.)

To be fair, it looks like most Japanese 3DS games get knocked down to that ~¥1,200 area.

Also, MH4G has awful reviews on Amazon, despite being the game we all loved in the West as MH4U.

Man alive you nearly made my heart skip a beat.

/u/raptorhunter666's link goes to a bundle, hence the inflated price.

Here is a link to the game by itself: CLICKY.
