People Spend Way Too Much Time Playing Monster Hunter
While the fascination with the Monster Hunter series may have many gamers scratching their heads, there's obviously a type of gamer that loves the hell out of it. This is evident in its huge sales numbers in Japan, and especially so in a new study by Coffee With Games.
Two points of data really stick out in the study. The first is the fact that gamers have spent a combined 6,313,120 hours playing Monster Hunter Tri, but even more amazing is that the average play time per person is 90 hours, 25 minutes. I might not love the series, but I have to appreciate a game with that much replay value.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
