[DISCUSSION] Do you prefer 4:3 or 16:9 for PS2 Monster Hunter?

Post by Lutyrannus »

I vastly prefer 4:3 for PS2 MonHun. It's, ya know, the aspect ratio the game was designed around. I know some of y'all are wide putins though, so please, I'd love to hear who is so I can block them, I mean, uh, respect their opinion.

anyone who changes the aspect ratio to something other than 4:3 is a crybaby that probably isnt also able to use joystick for attacking :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Stuck on 16:9 until I get some more cash to buy a better upscaler, till then I'm using a semi cursed setup of a 16:9 patch that fixes everything but the hud.

4:3 unless a proper 16:9 patch that scales the ui correctly is made.

This may honestly be my take, assuming that for some reason I am not playing on real hardware. While I do prefer real hardware and playing in the context it was designed for, if I am playing on PC, and there's a patch that properly makes the game widescreen without settling, I would rather use that so I could become more properly immersed in it on a widescreen LCD display.

Due to that not existing yet, I'm currently playing in glorious 4:3 with black bars :D

I was a filthy 16:9 player, then I was enlightened by 4:3. I have a 32:9 Monitor so I do black bar gaming big time

I'm not a fan of stretching video or images, so I'm going with 4:3. I never bothered with widescreen patches, because I'm not bothered by black bars.
But, hear me out: When I was still using my 16:10 monitor, I did stretch MH. Though the thing is: stretching 4:3 to 16:10 isn't much. The rhombus in the bottom right corner just looks like a square and text doesn't look wiiiideeee like in 16:9.
