sad but true, glad to know you like the game.

While true, it's not that long ago when even Monster Hunter itself was a pretty niche series. It only blew up in popularity into the mainstream after World, I think GE3's untimely release date doesn't help either.

God Eater 3 release about a year after MHW but at the time Capcom were already announcing Iceborne, and then Code Vein (a game made by the creator of this series) is bound to release soon after; anyone who already have MHW would just save their money and wait for Iceborne, while old fans of GE might be more interested in a fresh new take and hold out for Code Vein instead.
Bamco also went hard on marketing CV, while GE3 was treated like the bastard child with zero fanfare prior to release. It might not be a stretch that they're sabotaging the series and just want it dead, even the phone gacha game Resonant OP just shuts down unceremoniously.

I just can't get into GE3. I've done so much in GE2RB. I occasionally hunt Crimson Orochi still. The aragami are just bland in this game. Or I'm just too comfortable with my overstock character.

Not to mention what killed it here for me , is too much simping for the under age little girl pym this pym that I mean seriously give it a rest already also them capping max skill capacity into level 5 instead of level 10 like in previous games and lack of elemental damage mix up melee weapon , given the ammount of melee weapon variety u would think there would be many weapon with 3 type elemental combo like fire - freeze - Divine combo or Spark - Freeze - Divine combo or Fire - Spark - Divine combo but no almost no elemental combo on melee weapon just non elemental hacking weapons like wth . Also aragami r bland + No good god arc skill type not even built in ones on the equipments . Overcomplicated brust art bs , Not having both Rage art + predator style in this 3rd installment game even though predator style was sooo fun even more than GE2RB and over all really underwhelming almost every aspect , boaring story too .

Totally agree. The problem is, the series is dead.

Pym killed the game.

Don’t you dare talk about Pym like that 😡

Is true

Amine games are rarely popular. Genshin and its successors are anomalies if you look at how large the amine game market is.

As mentioned, MH was also pretty niche. That changed with World because it was made to bring the series to a mainstream audience. Bandai could certainly do the same with GE, but it's not even a question of would they, but would it work?

Amine? The rapper? Lol

Probably cause most anime games are mediocre. With the exception of Dragon Ball FighterZ and Genshin Impact.

Genshin is no anomalie. Just have a look at the gacha revenue. There are plenty of games with 10+ million per month.
Hoyoverse games, Wuthering waves etc all have very well made kb mouse combat. This lousy JP console ports with clumpsy combat have been left behind some years ago.

Uh... Except it is and it's always been in the anime gaming sphere. kb/m controls aside, it had everything to fail just because it's an anime game. However, its low low price of entry and BOTW-esque exploration made it explode.

And now we have all those copycats, but before this rise of gacha games, there have been countless other anime games, free and otherwise, that tried to make a splash and failed. Therefore, if you look at anime games as a whole, Genshin AND ITS SUCCESSORS are an anomaly. Genshin even more so as it's the only one a regular person outside of anime gaming or even gaming in general might've heard of.

I get your point and in some way it is an anomalie. But meanwhile there are gacha games with bigger revenues.
Leaving pricing modell , stamina etc for once aside, most of them have in common, a good playability, qoL improvements and optimization.
JP just slept for a decade an now there are other Kings of the Hills.
Don´t get me wrong. I´m not here to advertise gacha games. Just saying how it is (from my pov).
