In high school I remember not being able to get into PSP MH with my class mates. Now more than a decade later I have 200+ hours on MHW. I guess the QoL improvements really helped me to get into MH.

I couldnt get into repeatedly chasing monsters around. That was so off putting that none of the other hooks mattered.

This is a very technical game

I've always wondered if Rajang is an acceptable source of food for the pin cushion.

There is something I thing no one ever even thinks about but, my first time playing Monster Hunter World I played as Guts from Berserk and one of the things that strikes me is that Nergi has a LOT of features that look closely like Zod the Immortals Apostle form. Massive Horns, Cat like features, RAW POWER, get stronger in combat. I think I'm the only one that sees that.

I have played MH since their 1st game up to MH Wilds beta. They are above avg games for sure I played everyone of them but they never got me hooked. I find it tiring to remember which angle to be standing at for the punish with every monster. Mostly I just Fomo finish the game, put it down and don't talk about it again like many other titles.

Ruiner is actually a "evolution" of the regular nergi. A ruiner happens when a normal nergigante absorbs a LOT of bio energy (which is why ruiners spikes look like the crystals in the elders recesses) so theoretically if a nergigante survived long enough with a regular enough amount of elders to hunt down i imagine a nergi could become a deviant that could hunt black dragons (ruiner is a variant which in MH means a normal creature that had something happen to it which changed it. A deviant is what a variant is but with an even more extreme event that changed the monster even more)

Gorgeus Video i can see you getting motivation from upcoming wilds release

Really interesting, love the theories!

I'm drunk from work but need to watch this ❤

Monster Hunter games before World forces you to make GOOD DECISIONS and punishes BAD DECISIONS. You learn to observe, to be patient, and to identify openings, either to land attacks or to drink pots. If you don't learn these things, YOU GET PUNISHED. If you recognize that an attack is imminent and you still drink that pot ON THE SPOT, then you take the L for tryna flex in front of a raging Diablos lmao. That's the old school hardcore Monster Hunter. As for World? Too casualized, too Westernized. Too many things streamlined. This is why Japanese players queue up to fight boss raids and Western players don't.

When I first tried the game, I chose hunting horn as my weapon... I was playing solo. Hunting horn is a wonderful weapon, but not one I would suggest on your first playthrough, especially if you don't play a lot of games and don't have anyone to play with. It wasn't until a few years later, when my boyfriend got the game for me (I had previously tried it on Game Pass, so I didn't own it), and I picked up dual blades that I started to understand the game. Even then, it didn't "click", until I fought the adorable tar Beyblade, Radobaan (who is the best monster ever). I had a connection error, and because I was playing with my bf it was my first solo fight, since my first time playing the game. I was overwhelmed, but, by the end of the fight, my attitude had pivoted from just playing the game to spend time with my bf to, not just playing to spend time with him, but genuinely just wanting to play the game.

Nah, I'd rather try again than have some nobody cart away all my chances.

great video home slice.

I really think youve gotta have a solid tism to really enjoy monster hunter, you really gotta love grinding for fashion and grinding to have crisp rewarding monster fights.

the most frustrating part is the non scaling number of life :) Since you have 2 more life with palico on a duo hunt, i would love to have 5 live when you are 3 or more to compensate the lost of palico save

I think it's a good feeling that when you're helping a novice hunter, it just brings you back when you were a novice as well. Sometime people forget where they started their journey through the World of Monster Hunter.

One of the creepiest dragon i've ever seen in the game. The face is my nightmare

A hate those cats so much ಠ_ಠ

The only thing i will say, is the story is considerably deep and wide. However, it requires the player to actually watch the cutscenes, actually read the very text heavy dialogues; It is unfortunate that the games story is currently in a place that has such a wide library of context that it accidentally forgets new players havent read up on the lore. It acknowledges this by giving the player the option to skip the cutscenes and ignore the story because the social buzz of the game talk about the epic moments in the hunts, the moment the long sword user Crashes down, slicing off a tail, or a hammer reflects a charging Barioth by smashing its head into ground with the Big Bang. While i appreciate long term fans all love those hype moments, as we should be, new or incoming players who experience dont get to those kids of 'hype' moments right out the gate, and because of that this metaphorical 'hump' you describe as a click moment exists. You cant put new players up against the hype creatures because they require in game knowledge and understanding that can be better taught by low rank creatures like the great wyverns, Baggi, Velocidromes, Jagras, Giros, and more. As an experienced hunter, i Absolutely understand both sides of the fence you suggested in the video. The 'give it time' advocators, The 'Hard to get into, worth the effort' Passifying rhetoric sadly does apply directly to the hype train moments that draw alot of players back. However, the storytelling and world building is so incredible and vibrant when you give it time to land. A perfect example is the 5th fleet botanist growing a giant tree in The Base when you invest time and resources in him as the story progresses! The chef and his partners cooking more elaborate meals as you spend time in the new world where they have learned to use more and more of the local materials and resources. Its special and often people forget that the commision have sent you as part of a research and development fleet to the new world. Not just unga bunga i want your bones and scales for weapons. (Although that is part of the core gameplay loop)

Appreciate you not spoiling the you know what for new players

My clicking point was when i actually understood that using the slinger locked you into a reload animation that prevents you from rolling, i spammed that thing so much and hate the fact i couldn’t dodge in time

"I promise you, mh will respect your time". Well, I find it hard to believe after first couple of monsters each run from me several times as their phase transitions, requiring me spend MINUTES to catch up to them each time. Very captivating gameplay.

i think i got thru base game out of spite. My "clicking point" was when first picked up a HH shortly after getting to iceborne for the first time.

If you didn't know, I've started going live here on KZbin, in fact I'll be live when this video goes out! We been having a good time hunting together and working towards 100% completing the game - I hope to see you there :D

Gotta love our spikey boy!

This raises the question then: what are the differences between them that might make one click with me sooner than another?

Hated it for months after dozens of carts on yian kut ku back in 2004 using sword and shield. Switched to GS, carted so many times more, then BAM, slayed that annoying yet beautiful chicken. Been hooked ever since.

I never knew how to describe this feeling but now I can, I had two clicking points, my first clicking point was against anjanath when I realized I had to actually take risks or I was going to run out of time. The second clicking point was later on when I got to iceborne, at that time I had not carted once the whole game and because of that I had never learned early on that carting was a part of the game so I would only do the iceborne story missions with other people. This all changed when I got to velkhana and I carted instead of it being catastrophic like I used to think it was I realized in my head “that’s not that bad really.”

The best advice? Find a monster you hate then turn it into your Rival. Greatsword user since Freedom Unite, the clicking point for me was playing with my Brother (Gunner fanatic) during the psp years and we fell in love after we got carted by a Bulldrome. For the "Time consuming" issue its why I got a Switch I'll be playing this whenever and wherever I want. Wilds will be good either way because it's MH core gameplay will be there just hopefully they have a proper story this time around 😅

I got MHW when it was a few dollars just to try it back in 2022, I didn’t get it, played it for an hour and thought it wasn’t fun. Came back to it in 2023 and it just clicked after I watched a GS progression guide and I’ve been hooked ever since. That initial part of the game is just overwhelming due to how much stuff they introduce all at once. But after you got the knowledge the game truly opens up and you realize you’re in the world and loving it. Masterpiece! I recommend it to everyone.

I gave up on tutorial where you mount that wild monster 😭

Ok, I'll give it another chance. I hope I can do it right this time.

I started with the first psp game and stuck with it since, few pretty heavy disagreements with some of the decisions the franchise made later on but overall amazing run with the franchise. That is untill wilds, im skipping wilds, don't have to state my reasons why because the cry babies will just start a yap fest in the comments about it. It just doesn't "click" with me. If you plan on getting the game then have fun and happy hunting 💪.

Why am i always late to these videos? Anyways something to note about the idea of safi and fatalis having a rivalry is the saffire of the emperor attack. It can destroy a hunter who can survive countless insane attacks in an instant but doesn't do any damage to the rocks you can hide behind almost as if it is only useful against biological material. And what better way to kill a creature with insane regeneration then essentially a mini nuke that only really harms said dragon (and any unfortunate insects and other small animals in the area)

Gonna try him first on my own. This thing lives rent free in my head since freedom unite and became a true legend of my childhood. If I give up someday I'll come back here and watch this. I'll keep you updated.

Nope. Scarlet and Violet is worse.

I love the gameplay of Monster Hunter World, it's just baffling to me that I was basically unable to start making a coherent build before hitting Master Rank. I am now farming Raging Brachydios to make the Long Sword and I am still not entirely free to build the way I want. Mainly because I am missing the decorations I want. This part of the game feels like it's way too stingy. Also, I am entirely unsure where to get the better looking Layered Armors... The game doesn't tell you anything. There are popups for mechanics that are straight forward and self-explanatory, but never for the things that could actually use an explanation.
