Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, the latest entry of the Monster Hunter series to get released in North America and Europe, has received free DLC packs every month since its release earlier this year and another free DLC pack is going to be released in the West this month. A new trailer showcasing the content of the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate November free DLC pack has been shared online a few hours ago.

The new Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate free DLC pack will include some new quests as well as the new GX Armor and much more. You can learn more about this month’s free Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate DLC pack by checking out the new trailer right below.

Last month’s Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate free DLC pack included 12 new quests, 5 new weapons, 1 new complete armor set, the GX Hunter set, 4 new unique armor pieces, 1 new Palico equipment set, the Melodic set, 1 Bonus Palico, 1 Guild Card background and 8 Guild Card titles. All the DLC packs released in the past few months are all still available for download.

The next entry of the series launching this month in Japan on Nintendo 3DS is Monster Hunter X. Earlier this week the game, alongside the series’ spin-off title Monster Hunter Stories launching next year in Japan, have been shown during the latest episode of Capcom TV. Monster Hunter X will come with some unique features that will set the game apart from previous entries and make the whole experience feel fresh.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is now available in all regions exclusively on Nintendo 3DS. Monster Hunter 4 X will be released later this month in Japan, but a Western release date has yet to be confirmed. Considering how popular Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is in the West, we will surely hear more about Monster Hunter X’s North American and European release very soon so stay tuned for all the latest news on the successful series created by Capcom.

Sony Has a “Monopoly” on the High-End Japanese Gaming Market, According to a US Senator

The never-ending saga surrounding Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard has a new participant.  Today, Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from the state of Washington, said some things about the subject that were hard to understand.

The senator, whose remarks were reported on by ResetEra, spoke at a Senate finance committee hearing on “the president’s 2023 Trade Policy Plan,” which we are sure was quite interesting.

Senator Cantwell said that she had been told that Sony “controls a monopoly of 98% of the high-end game market” despite the fact that “Japan’s government has allowed Sony to engage in blatant anti-competitive conduct through exclusive deals and payments to game publishers, establishing games that are among the most popular in Japan.”

This 98% statistic is highly deceptive because it ignores PC, Nintendo, and mobile games and instead refers to Sony’s adoption rate over Microsoft in Sony’s native country of Japan, a fact that shouldn’t surprise anyone who is even somewhat familiar with the video game business.

What can we do to rectify these problems and create a level playing field, she said of US Trade Representative Katherine Tai after charging Japan’s Federal Trade Commission with improperly failing to look into this purported “exclusionary conduct”?

It is absurd to claim that Sony has a monopoly on the Japanese video game market, as Luke Plunkett of Kotaku correctly points out, “because Sony doesn’t even have a 98% share of the market for the God of War series, a title they own, as Steam is getting 30% of every sale on PC.”

It goes without saying that we can’t expect elected officials to be experts in every field, but this is a visible step at a time when the ongoing attempt to buy the company is at a very important point.

Is it significant that Microsoft, along with Nintendo, maintains its headquarters in Redmond, Washington—Senator Cantwell’s district—or that Microsoft has given Cantwell more than $500,000 over the past two decades?  Let us leave that up to you.

Eating trash, Pizza Possum destroys the PS5

Pizza Possum is an arcade action game in which you, a possum, attempt to consume as much trash as you can without being discovered.  It is a web-based sequel to the anarchy simulator Untitled Goose Game.It will eventually be available on the PS5.

We couldn’t help but notice that the possum in the title doesn’t look like the cute Australian possum that comes out at night to visit people.On the other hand, it looks like the horrible North American opossums are the ones that will attack trash cans and cause general chaos.Even though we think the second choice was better in terms of theme, we prefer the first one and are happy to explain why.

Your thoughts on Pizza Possum?  Does it possess the necessary mass appeal to successfully skitter along the back fenceline while setting the dog off in the process?
