Monster Hunter World Thread

Definitely looking forward to when this arrives the PC later this year.

I know it has a few issues, but hopefully they'll smooth them over by the time fall rolls around.

I got it but dont know if im far into campaign or not, i've to kill Diablos an Rathalos i believe. Anyhow i am enjoying it an spent most of my time doing investigations to try out the weapons etc, finally settled on sword an shield an like the paralyse skill line so today i was farming materials to go that route an upgtade it all, will try Rathlos an Diablo once done to get campaign moving again.

Currently on xbox but no got gold so all solo, which being a newb is prob best idea till i can play better tbh lol

Do we know when the PC release is coming? I'm interested in this game, but I odn't have a console. Well...I have a switch, but thats it.

If it had a switch release, I'd def pick that up.

I really want to get this game, preferably on PC but was thinking about getting it on PS4, thing is I got stuff I currently need to work on right now and I know that if I do get this game I will probably fall into one of those cycles where I just gotta get one more monster scale or whatever to finish my armour set and then not do any of the things I am supposed to do because I just saw another armour set I want to craft, so it is probably for the best that I wait for the PC version, I prefer to play most games on PC if I can and I don't have to pay for online like on the PS4, still with the PC version so far away it is tempting to pick up the PS4 version to see what it is like.

I am in this same boat. I want to try it but it seems addictive and I can't just like, not do my work, which is mostly from home... with the PS4...

I’m playing solo, but some of th higher ranked monsters might require a bit of help from others if you aren’t too familiar with the combst or the monsters attack patterns etc. People generally join your quests if you let them. But most of the game is very do able solo.

I’d say it’s better than Horizon because the areas you scour for items to build traps and other things, like hunting aren’t open as ardously open, they are more confined and restrictive but still very explore friendly. The combat and hunting is also a bit more tricky too, as different weapons present different fighting styles and only some weapons are good for certain monsters and bad for others. 

Anyway, the customization is what I’d say would draw someone who likes BioWare games or a game like Dragon’s Dogma

Thank you for the input. I'd looked at the described plot on Wikipedia as well and was thinking it looked pretty sparse. 

I wouldn't play Minecraft, and this (as well as Ark) seem to be about being a really pretty Minecraft when 90% of what you do is build things from scratch and do battle. I consider crafting and battle to be the thing I mostly suffer through to get my story. Kingdom Come Deliverance almost has enough story, but...no. 

It's too bad. probably two more years until DA4 and all I have for playing is repeating games I know I like (Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and Witcher/HZD to a lesser extent) and purchasing the dusty classics like Vampire Bloodlines. Feel like I'm just biding my time. Oh well. Thanks again

phoray you tried spec ops: the line? i'd recommend for great story

i'd also say MHW better than HZD but i found HZD rubbish tbh an still dont understand all the raving reviews about it but then i dont understand all the raving reviews about MHW either or skyrim even though i enjoy both but then i just dont go for reviews tbh an prefer hands on or word of mouth from friends/family.


Anyhow i've played 102hrs so far an im only HR13 😆😆 an just on quest to kill negrigante, think thats the name, to say i've been messing about is understatement, yesterday i must've killed/captured an broke/severed every part of the damn pukei pukei about 20 times on the hunt for one of its quills an got nada but it made me start to favour melee instead of range so been making some hammers an long swords then some armour with attack an defence, think thats what im liking the most, each weapon has it own playstyle an just building your char round it to suit you is pretty cool.

i just found it did zero different apart from dino bots from farcry an i was burnt out on farcry, im probably to harsh on it, well i know i am, an i may try give it a fair go again at some point other than that i just dont get the hype yet farcry got mauled, was it cause female protagonist that ppl had to say this a must buy? then also aloy's facial animations seemed none existent to me, which didn't bother me i mention cause ME:A again got mauled for same thing, it just seemed HZD got passes for reasons unknown to me while other games got mauled, some of which criticism i do agree on.


Going by your games no i dont recoomend MHD 😆😆 i like it just for simple reason i can mindlessly play an progress an tbh no think much, im normally a mmo guy an it sort of fills that space in my gaming since i no longer have pc an aint much of a fan of the mmo available on console

I still recommend spec ops just for story, it by far one of best story i experienced in gaming tbh

Another you might consider is Rise of Tomb Raider, i never did like the first game in the rebooted series, to much quick time stuff, but the follow up did away with most of it an improved overall gameplay, it the first tomb raider i finished an liked tbh an was after playing that i decided i was to hard on HZD an i'd give it another go.

yeah it was just using bow in tomb raider that made me decide to try it again, think i'd only got lvl 15 so no really into it far.

I just go for the numb grind cause tbh alot of game stories dont really interest me, or should i say i've either read or played majority of them an it no very often something original or something that grips me comes along, so nowadays i go for gameplay alot to keep me going, thats no to say i dont still enjoy the stories if there good, i do, i love noin more than a good story tbh
