Current Events > I don't know if I like Monster Hunter World

(+) Yeah! (+)

Or the entire series, for that matter. It isnt very straightforward at all. I can tell that its a good game, for those who enjoy it. But fuck. The weapon loadout I chose isnt very good. Attacks are super delayed. And it doesnt give you a very good sense of direction.

I like it but it definitely could be better. Gimme a game like this but with combat like Bloodborne and I would never play another game again

The game definitely throws a lot of information in your face.

And weapon animations in Monster Hunter are usually long and exaggerated. It's supposed to make you figure out when the right time to strike comes up and find out the window of canceling them from dodge rolls.

Conversely, the weapons that hit fast have really low damage output so you'll need to constantly attack so you won't spend ages taking down monsters.

Exactly. The combat and instructions are shit.

Its not that hard meng. It might seem like a huge info dump at the beginning but theres not a lot to it. Find a weapon you like, and then hunt monsters, loot monster, use loot to upgrade your stuff, repeat. Youll learn more about all the extra stuff as you go.

And join other peoples quests to mooch on the loot.

If slow attacks are a problem (e.g. hammer, GS, hunting horn) you should probably try something faster like dual blades or insect glaive and see if it helps. Or maybe even a ranged weapon.

It's definitely a niche series, I don't blame you if it didn't click. The series generally hasn't evolved since the PS2 when it started.

Im glad someone understands. I wanted to like it so badly, too.

I know exactly what you mean
I've tried several of the games and I did try the demo for World. like you said, I can tell they're good games and I see the appeal, but for me it just doesn't click

i'd like it if it did, but blah

I've had my patience tested with this game. Once you start making progress it gets better and you learn shit along the way. On other hand, some people just want the pull the right trigger and pew pew pew n00bs experience. Those are the people who usually drop out of middle school. Don't be one of those people, beat the game.

I never really played any other monster hunters except a tiny bit on buddy's psp ten years ago in high school. Since it came out I haven't played any other game but mhw. Shit is absolutely amazing
