Remember in the old days how game companies like Square or Enix would think up their own new ideas instead trying rip off others? Yeah. So now wee have yet ANOTHER Monster Hunter clone (The first was Namco's God Eater).
It depends on how it's done compared to monster hunter.
If it's done better, it IS the new monster hunter. If it does it worse, it's a chocolatety clone.
For example: Saints Row and GTA. SR did what GTA does, but a lot better, imo, so therefore it is not a clone. (GTA didn't have a pimp-cane shotgun)
it will suck donkey like God Eater >_> the ccinematic finisher is not even a good idea for a game like monster hunter where you kill the same chocolates over and over.
