That is far beyond the most I've seen on any game, and it got me thinking just how popular this game must be. TBH, I thought this was going to be one of those sleeper games because I didn't hear many people talking about it...but clearly I was wrong LOL. This post isn't really contributing anything but I'm wondering how many of your were aware of the game's hype and how many of you weren't. It's the fastest selling game from Capcom. I was actually thinking there would of been more than 30k players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautifulTorment Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) To get back to the topic at hand, I have honestly not seen any game crack 30k. I don't even think GTA V had that many when it launched. Edited February 9, 2018 by BeautifulTorment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like high school mentality. You only need to look at Twitch to see what is trending right now. PUBG? Fortnite? By all means continue playing the game if you enjoy it, but don't get offended because I don't like your favorite game. I'm sure it's fun for you, but it doesn't appear that way to me. I'll play it eventually when the price comes down, get the trophies, and bounce out of there. Mayo was like $1 for a plat. You'd be unwise to pass that deal up. I'm like the anti-hipster, I do what everyone is not doing With a Vita, it's $1 for 2 plats. Further, in Sony's new pass system, that translates to $2.80 (due to the 4 gold trophies). 57 minutes ago, Happy said: Boy is this guy in for a surprise. LOL! @DARKB1KE not reading the forum!!

Crispy_Oglop Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 13 hours ago, DARKB1KE said: It's flavour of the month. New games are always going to have high player amounts when they first release. The west hasn't really had a game of this type before.. so obviously that will garner attention and players... not if you include Lost Planet 2 for large scale bosses/enemies. People are sheep too, they have to be playing what everyone else is playing right now too. Hype when used correctly can get people to part with their money. I watched livestreams.. don't see what's great about it to be honest. Looks like typical MMO with grinding for materials all day. I fully agree with the point that hype can distort data somewhat and I appreciate that for you the game isn't for you. There is definitely something to you referencing people as sheep, we see that in all walks of life too. While it's an accurate observation in general, I also think it's important to not discount a few other potential factors in that huge concurrent player figure we're talking about in MH:W Monster Hunter has been released in the West for a while now, since it was released on PS2 way back when, then later moving pretty much solely into Nintendo systems. As a result it has a huge pre-built fan base that has accumulated for almost a decade - so we shouldn't discount that maybe a significant portion of that 30k are just members of that pre-built community jumping at the chance to play a MH game running on higher specs than the Nintendo hardware they are used to. The other thing generalizing the reasons behind that concurrency does is to pretty much shun new players - people who are interested in trying it out, not because everyone else is playing it, but because the game actually looks good and currently as you mentioned, there isn't much like it to that standard at the moment. We shouldn't begrudge someone for saying - hey, that looks good, i'll give that a try. It's obviously doing something right to generate that many players. Star Wars:Battlefront 2 had a far more detailed and in-your-face hype machine, and it never reached that amount of concurrency. I guess ultimately, no one can really tell exactly what the reasons are behind the 30k concurrency, unless they are able to survey over 80% of those players and ask them the right questions. But you can deduce things pretty accurately by looking at the patterns already there. 'People are sheep' is just one of those patterns or possibilities. As a side note - getting the trophies, then bouncing might not be as fast as you think - it looks like it'll take 100 - 500 hours depending on luck with some of them. So it might be worth factoring that in just in case you do decide to pick it up one day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an antibully, such as yourself, you seem to like insulting others. Food for thought. Edited February 9, 2018 by Elvick_ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe that's why you shouldn't thumbs him up and the "SJW pretend anti-bully" kid so quickly...traitor I'm going to use you as an ingredient in my next dish StarCrunch 5 hours ago, Happy said: Boy is this guy in for a surprise. Indeed. Lol he calls people sheep for playing MHW, then he decides he is going to play it in the future, get the trophies, then "bounce". Then SJWs rush to his side when someone calls him out on it. You can't make this stuff up. People forgot to take their medications it seems. Learned my lesson though, don't engage with crazies lol.

The reason why I got so upset with him though is that he isn't just trolling around, he going onto specific profiles each time either seeing our games or profile info and trying to attack us for that and to be fair it is public information. I just really hate to see so much dissatisfaction in his life that making fun others need to fill his void. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cursed, spewing a bunch of foul language. Keep it classy. Nobody was attacked, calm down SJW. You get upset that easily, can't even imagine what happens to you in real life. A picture of Trump probably raises your blood pressure lol. I didn't go into any specific profile(s). There is no plural. You just added the plural form of profile to make me sound more sinister lol.

Then this is were this tragic comedy gets even funnier. He says (the guy calling people sheep for playing MHW) that he is going to play it! LOL!!!! Not only play it, but get the trophies quick and "bounce". You made my day Mr. White Knight Hot Topic, this has been so funny, and according to you, this whole exchange has probably filled "my void".

And this is coming from the guy who actually went to check who upvoted particular posts in a thread? Look - I don't care who likes what. I do generally support people that disdain bullying in a thread. That being said, your post to which he answered wasn't really that much of bullying. But there's no reason for so much angst on this forum. I don't get it. But whatever - I'm not here to fight. I like pretty much everyone on both sides of this issue.

If you're not a sheep then you have nothing to worry about and should not be offended by this. It wasn't anything personal, it's just my observation.

Actually I've said that most people follow and play what everyone else is playing. It's a very broad and generalized view of the gamer population. A general term for that is "sheep" because it follows the same patterns of a herd. It's a buzzword that you're offended by and I'm sorry you're offended but you have no reason to be. In no way shape or form have I called anyone stupid.

I feel the same way as OP, I never seen so many players in the Popular Games This Week like Monster Hunter. I imagine some of the earlier COD and current GTA games had more players, but I wasn't around this website when those games released.
