I'll wait for the PC version.

Xbox all the way baby!! I’ve got a few other friends playing on Xbox as well

PC. My backlog is pretty sizable, and God Eater is bound to go on sale again at some point.

Gonna get it on XB1 because I don't have anyone to play with either way and I just prefer it more as a platform.

PS4 but I'm also probably gonna double-dip on PC when it comes out just because I tried the beta to check it out and instantly saw that I wouldn't be able to wait until August. I've got more friends on PC so it'll be fun to be that guy that helps out.

Standard PS4 since my PC isn't good enough for modern games and PS4 is my main platform. My first MH, loved the beta, can't wait to jump in on friday! 1 of my friends will also get it on ps4 down the line.

XB1 because of my friend preordered it there but I will frown at him for it when we play online >:-(

All of the above because I make smart monetary decisions and there's going to be people on each platform I'll play with. Most people I know are PS4/PC double dipping.

Damn that's a huge gap with PS4 and Xbox. Surprised this wasn't a PS4 exclusive.

@babychoochoo: I have never played a Monster Hunter game before despite coming close a few times. If I only solo World, is it worth it?

Going to wait for a PC version. I'd love to give it a try but I have so many other games that I need to get to playing that it should hold me over and then some by the time the PC version comes out.

xbone then pc when its out there if i can run it at 60, unless im burnt out

@pompouspizza: I only put about 20-30ish hours into MH Generations which is nothing in the grand scheme of things haha so I'm kind of a newcomer to the series too. From what little I've experienced though, how you play is entirely personal preference. Every fight is balanced for single and multiplayer so you're not gonna be locked out of any content at all. I played with a friend on 3DS and it was super fun working together to bring enemies down. That said, it was also super fun trying to do the same thing playing solo. You don't have others to rely on so the initial planning is even more important and the fights are more tense because it's just you and the monsters.

If i pick it up it will be on pc.

If it's good, I'll wait for the PC release.

I have a PS4 Pro but I'm buying the Xbox version for my regular-ass Xbox because my friends are there. None of them have played a Monster Hunter game before so I can't wait to see them get trashed by dragons/angry pickles.

Once I get a new TV in a few weeks I'll be getting it on xbone because that's where my friends are

@purplepartyrobot said:

If you eat the angry pickles before they can attack you, you should be safe.

I'm still not 100% on it. I'm also undecided on which one to get it on. I have several years of Gold accrued and the Xbox is my primary. However, all my friends are getting it for the PS4.

I'm sure there would be enough Duders if I decided to go Black and Green.

Haven't played anything from the series before, but this last UPF and the recent hype has got it on my radar. I'd pick it up for the Xbox, as my PC is pretty underpowered for anything but indie titles at the moment.

I'm getting it on the Xbox One X.. and if i'm liking it i'll getting on the PC too (for real 4k and 60fps)

PC > Xbox one x > ps 4 pro > (the rest are dead to me!) :)

Double dipping on PS4/PC.

Hopefully there will be a lot of of each platform and people will have decent experiences hunting online. Hunting online with people that are skilled is really where the magic is. I think that will be more exciting on PC but I just can't wait eight months.

PS4, simply cause I got all that extra stuff from the beta (and Alloy)

Waiting for the PC version. I am bummed its not coming out now but I figured I have enough backlog that that's not a big deal. I'd get it on PS4 but I do so much more of my gaming on PC that I don't think I would end up giving it the time I want to put into it if I didn't wait for the PC version.

My best chance of playing friends is on PC, so I'll wait for that.

Can one play this without friends? I would like to go mostly solo, possibly get matchmade for harder quests? This would be my first Monster Hunter game, so I figured I'd ask before purchasing, as there are no people interested in this game in my circles at the moment.

EDIT: just found this thread, my questions are answered!

Waiting to see how the final version turns out. Wasn't particularly impressed with performance on the standard PS4 this past beta weekend.

If it really isn't great I'll probably wait for the PC version.

If my 3DS experiences are to go by, than you'll find a very welcoming community. The 3DS games were my first MH experiences and the community were super helpful when playing multiplayer for the first time.

@machofantastico: Good to know, thank you. I still prefer to play alone for the most part, this games looks like a good podcast game as well. I am not buying on release date anyway, I need to wait till it's a bit cheaper.

Xbox One X version for me!

PS4, as long as I can convince a few other friends to grab it as well

I was going to wait for the PC version but I recently upgraded my PS4 to the pro so I'll be buying it there. I can't wait 10+ months for Monster Hunter. Hopefully no double dipping unless the PC version gets really cheap someday.

This will be my first Monster Hunter. Going Xbox since I have an X.

Do we know how well it runs on the X? I haven't seen a comparison yet.

That will be my deciding factor.

Interesting reviews hitting. Sounds like a great Monster Hunter game, still I'm real concerned about performance on the standard PS4. Sounds like the PS4 Pro is the way to go.

I am thinking of getting it on my Xbox One X, but after listening to podcasts, It might be too "Dark Souls" and not feeling like that currently.

PS4 all the way since I got 5 others to get it on that system. I haven't turned on my Xbone in approx 4-6 months. I do not pay for Live and honestly, I dont have much use for the thing. Almost all my friends have moved from Xbox to ps4 since the system has more games and realistically, there are not that many games coming out for Xbox that looks interesting enough to bother with them as most are coming out for PC also.

Was almost tempted to get the ps4 version until i read about the framerate issues, so will 100% stick to waiting it out.

Tried the beta on PS4 but have bought it one One X and don’t regret it one bit. The game runs smoothly in graphic mode and load times are fast for a change. I don’t care about the PlayStation goodies I’m just playing for the cats.

Did all the betas on PS4 but ended up buying on Xbone. I just like it better for some reason! I dunno what it is about the PS4 UI that bothers me.

Also the XBone controller is way better.
