What you're saying is that they got everything other than the story and are trying to be like MH? That's kinda like saying every good 3D RPG after Final Fantasy VII is a wanna be Final Fantasy VII. I don't think they are "wanna bes" but are similar in the "get a quest and kill a monster" concept. At least for GEB, I don't know about the other one.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahhaahahahha. Story in an MH-like game. Hahahahahaha...

O.o

True. The idea in GEB is a little bit more original then MH with the whole Gun that tranforms into sword or sheild thing, plus the storyline is really good too. I have to admit that at least lol
LOA on the hand is too much like MH. In the game you get the choice of using SnS, GS, Axe, Malice, and a Firelance.. The firelance acts like the GL from MH, all the while they carry it around like the guns of GEB.. And there is a storyline, but not much of one.. The only thing I saw that was anything original was the special kills and combat techniques that you learn.. Although, the special kills get repetitive and really boring fast..
