btw do we need PS Plus to play online multiplayer? not that familiar with what PS Plus is for.

Yes you need ps plus for coop

I'm planning to double dip... cuz pc version will be late. Sure cannot tahan lol

Pretty sure it's really late for PC tho.. the only reason why I wanna get it on PS4 early..
No release date announced even for PC so big problem really.. I doubt suddenly they would say that it's coming to PC a month when it is released in January or so..
Probably gonna take more time... like always la.. some games console first... after a while on appear for PC.

PS+ for asia region is not so bad really. Comparing to US region which is pretty expensive.

single player is ok, but monster hunter has always been a co-op experience. that's where the game truly shines.

u can play the whole story quest alone, but the post game content is the one u should be aiming for as those are the end game armors and weapons, and these end game armors and weapons from those difficult monster are not easy to do, and usually requires a team to kill it.

As a mh player b4, i can share my experience to u. You won't have trouble doing all the story quest. I am predicting around 30-40 hours depending on the story mode and how long it took for u to farm weapons/armors from those monster. But to get those post content powerful armors and weapons including all 14 types weapons, it will take another around 40 - 60 hour. 40 hours on main story, and another 40 hours on post content, it will be around 80 hours or more.

Do not forget mh developers always have event quest where by if u complete these event quests, u will get event armors, and these events quest again requires a team to do it as it is not easy to do.

If u looking forward to a single player experience from this game, u only just scratching the surface, coz it won't get u near anywhere near the end. Unless u want to prove u can hunt those monster alone even though it requires a team, then i got nothing to say lol.

TL;DR Monster Hunter is always have been, and always will be a co-op game, and that's where the game truly shines.
