Hi there!

I'm not getting this new product from Capcom: http://www.gamestop....eases_row3_col1

From Wikipedia I learned that "Unite" is "An expansion of Monster Hunter Freedom 2", so it basically looks to me like e.g. a box that contains both "Windows Vista" and "Windows 7"

Or in other words what's the point in still playing "2" when you also own "unite"? Someone able to enlighten me?

Greetings,
Manuel

One to play, one to trade.

That being said, I own neither so I may get it for exactly the above reason if nothing else. 15 dollars is cheap enough to warrant getting either game on it's own to me - I only ever saw it locally for twice that, used. >_> Or more.

Always wanted to play these games. I have the Wii version and I played a bit in the begining. Recommendations? Should I continue with Monster Hunter Tri?

I found some answers to my question on Capcoms own forum, which sound like I actually figured it out properly:

What kid new to the series isn't gonna feel cheated after playing one, and then realizing the other is basically the exact same?

Whos crazy idea of basically putting the same game together? Capcom or Sony?

You've gotta be kidding me. Unite and Freedom 2? I feel bad for the sucker who is excited about picking up to get 2 different Monster Hunter experiances.

But yeah, MHFU and MHF2 in the same package is a really retarded move. It doesn't even make sense. MHF1 would have at least given you a different main town and "story".

It exists to make money off of dumb people. By dumb, I of course mean people unaware of the fact both games are basically copies of one another, or people who have a MH collection going.

This tells us is that the people in Capcom's marketing dept don't actually know about (let alone play) the games their company makes. It would have made more sense to just put TWO copies of MHFU in the pack so you could give the other copy to someone who could then hunt with you!

And so on... Oh my god...
