  • Grinding for parts is just hunting monsters, which is fun, even on repeat because you will continually get better at fighting them.
  • Branching trees with elements and status effects give you real risk/reward decisions to make for what you need to fight next.
  • Visuals slap butt.
  • Armor skills is an entire other layer. And the skills are usually BIG effects, none of this "+7% damage on rainy wednesdays against leather armor" skill tree fluff.

It's the best video game crafting system around and imo what makes MH one of the best video games ever.

If they would just remove the desire sensor it would be the best crafting system of all time.

Gen U for best classic MH.

Still no word on if MHW2 is gonna happen.

Rise is the most recent.

Oh and on the subject of weapon upgrade systems, y'all should check out an old PS1 game called Thousand Arms.

It's the same as DC1, but with a little bit of the "funk" removed. It's a lot easier to end up with a better weapon: a lot less dead ends and the upgrade stuffs are a bit better.

And if if mods are allowed then Terraria is the best from what I've found. In particular the Soul of Eternity mod if you use Thorium, Shadows of Abaddon, and Calamity. It's more about an accessory than a weapon, but after a while it is pretty clear that the two kind of end up getting linked.

If they are going to go with a modern-style one they might as well just go with Rise. Older ones have a better weapon/armor system, so they are more topically relevant.

Break down items into materials for upgrading the stats of your weapons and eventually evolve them into a new weapon

Monica's sword upgrade paths were a lot of fun to play around with

While I've only played World and Rise, I'd recommend World as well. From what I've heard of older titles they can be a bit tedious.

Rise and World have high mobility, grappling hook, ziplines kind of stuff. I think you will have fun but if you want more of a challenging, methodical dare I say Darksoulsy fight double back for MH4U
