Monster Hunter

MH is a lot of fun but the barrier of entry is significantly high. A good bit beyond FromSoft games even though everyone likes to bitch about them. The stories put forth make Dark Souls look like Shakespeare. It’s all about the combat loop. Do what you will with that.

Interesting . Didn’t realize the barrier of entry was so high but that’s fine . Rather intriguing even

Not interested in a story, just want to fight big monsters with weapons so no worries there .

World is much more of a challenge than rise. I was able to solo through the entire game pretty quick up to the first couple additions in dlc. World took me longer

I wouldn't say it's "harder" just different. With his question the way he said it I would recommend rise, because of my first point:

Rise is much quicker: smaller maps, faster combat, and easier travel - what this does is makes the "missions" a whole lot faster, whether you kill or get the three strikes, it's a whole lot faster to get to that point.

I think MH world is a better game overall but Rise is very good too. Rise feels more arcadey. They are both good and different enough to where you should try both.

Every monster can be solo'd.

The combat is smooth, but it may feel clunky at first depending on what games you are used to playing. Some weapons are intentionally very slow and some are very fast.

For the most part yes. If you get on for 20 mins, you'll get your log in bonus for the day and can do a single hunt and get some materials.

As far as easier content, there is plenty of reason to farm easier monsters for materials, especially after you start going through other weapon lines. So if you have a day where you don't feel like doing the hardest content, you can still progress your gear collection by doing easier stuff.

I’m just saying it was more of a challenge to me, but that could be because it was my first MH game. He also asked for a challenge which is why I mentioned it

Eta: I mained long sword in both but got pretty good with charge axe as well. LS can be extremely satisfying pulling off the specials like iai strike that advance the charge to red

Charge axe can be pretty complicated at first but once you figure it out it’s fun as hell. In all seriousness though there probably isn’t a weapon to pick that’s not fun as hell even though there’s some I’ve never touched

Etaa: just don’t be a dumbass dork like this guy LINK. Upgrade your gear every so often and you’ll have fun and do fine

fricking timed out on Aknosom first try, the very first hub quest. realized i needed to upgrade my long sword. got him 2nd try. pretty fun.

yeah i can see the appeal.

not sure what build i want. lot of crazy weapons. i know you recommended Hammer . ill have to check that our in Training Area.

longsword seems simple and good enough for now while i figure out what all these consumables do. learned that whetstones and stamina regens and antitodes and nullberries are pretty important . im sure they all have their uses

This shite got a lot more fun once I figured out combos and wirebug tech

Magnamalo 3* urgent hub quest fricking ya boy up bad . Even with fire res and a waterblight weapon
