Now time passed and I have a rather good situation and walk toward my future, way stronger. Earing Seliana day theme just overwhelm me with nostalgia/ melancholy and reminds me of how this game (and franchise) helped me having good time when everything was in pieces in my life.

Same story here. I got it on release and struggled to understand the mechanics and didn't touch it. 2 years later, I came across some videos on it, so I figured I would give it another chance. Have now put around 3000 hours into the game and have gotten a few friends into the game.

If you decide to see if you enjoy the game first and get it later or if you want to gain access to the new moves and mechanics right away, it is entirely up to you. I would, however, recommend avoiding the defender armor/weapons as they are designed to trivialize the base game and get you into the dlc as fast as possible. I wish you the best in your time playing and hope to see you out hunting someday.

[@LISANDRO67826782]

I just got it today and I think I’m getting addicted to it 😅 I was surprised to see the monsters fighting each other that just made me love the game even more!

[@TheHorseWhoKnows]

As a veteran of the franchise all the way back from the freedom days. This game is absolutely the current magnum opus of the franchise. The depth scale and absolute love and attention this game received is bar none. The slinger felt very natural to add to a hunters kit. The monsters felt amazing. The weapons felt incredible. This game was truly a pinnacle and I hope we get another like it. I’m currently debating going another round

[@lordphuckwadd6462]

I agree, as a new MH player, world introduced me to acutally playing the game, It wasn't the combat that drew me in (I stayed for it thought) but rather the 'world' building to be explore. alot of specific creatures, the creatures really did things and interacted with eachother not to mention the endemic life and the Lynians, let alone lore about each large creature too. MHW is a W game ong.

[@brandonmiller9155]

As a fellow freedom hunter, I gotta say that I had wanted a monster hunter on the main consoles for years and when it was announced that they would be bringing it to Xbox and PlayStation again I was THRILLED. Some of the character and charm from the older games was lost, but the core of what makes monster hunter so enjoyable was retained. It’s the same reason why the souls games are so popular, because the level of dopamine you get from finally beating that monster you had been stuck on for so long is such a huge reward that you keep searching for more. It is by far THE definitive monster hunter game. The 20th anniversary is coming next year, they’re probably going to announce the next game soon-ish, and I can only hope that it builds upon what made world such a success

[@CaptainEffort]

4U is still the best imo, but World is for sure right behind it!

​@@CaptainEffortNice pumpun pfp. Also I agree. 4U is my fav. That said World is the most polished by far

[@kottadragon]

Definitely my favorite in the series. There's a lot of QoL and attention to detail throughout the game that just oozes with the soul and love you can tell the developers put into crafting it. I also know a lot of people have their prefences and there's plenty of people who enjoy the arena style maps of the older games, but they can't really beat the living, breathing feeling of the areas of the maps in World that have seen me going out many times just to look at them and explore around. Amazing game and unquestionable high point in the series. But I do admit I've ran into the issue of trying to wire bug myself into a recovery out of a bad hit only to be hit with the sudden realization I am once again punishable for getting greedy or not misreading a move after Rise. If they ever follow-up World with another Monster Hunter designed for more powerful systems, my only hope is they figure out how to make the engine handle more monster types without imploding their rigs.

[@taylon5200]

God I hope they make a sequel in world/iceborns exact style and mechanics. The weapons were absolutely perfect, wouldn't change a single thing about any of them. The maps were incredible. The monsters were all super high quality, including animations. Turf wars. Biodiversity in maps. Sound design. So much more. I'm with you man, rise/sunbreak don't even come close. I quit that game after 9 hours because worldborn is vastly superior in every way to me, but sadly I'm in the minority and for some reason people seem to love the lightning pace and ridiculous speed of combat now and over the top traversal to the point you're a superhero. I hate it with a passion. I love the weight, the precision, and the deliberate inputs of world so much more. Risebreak is far too arcadey feeling to me. I hate it. Hopefully soon, Capcom has been soaring high with insanely good releases lately. Hoping that pushes them into a true world born sequel in the same vain.

I still can't believe this game is 5 years old. I was so happy to see this game after seeing the announcement trailer. My last game was MHP3 on PSP. Since I didn't own a Nintendo console I missed a lot of MH games until MHW. I bought this game day 1 and spent 400 hours. I also bought Iceborne at a much later time but didn't played a lot since I can't stand the low frame rate on PS4 Pro. Since I got PS5, I began revisiting again as the frame rate is consistent. Too bad it does not have PS5 update as the game will be a total blast.

Small correction, as far as I know, on PC (idk about MHW on other systems) all event quests, from low rank to master rank, are always available, even when no festival is happening, the only events on rotation are the Kulve and Safi siege, which I believe are on a 2 week rotation, so when one siege isn't up, the other one is, so matter matter what, there's always a siege available

MHW is my only virtual connection to this world my cell phone. Not only touched by its dynamic fighting, and also the story and characters inside, their passionate for striving and surviving, wet my eyes time and time when the main theme song blowing my ear and mind. Until now, I had 1500 hrs on its ps4 version and 200 hrs on steam version. Most of my MHW time is soloed, I have 0 friend in both of these platform account. But the immersive experience made me felt I was living and surrounding by an live world in this game. I guess I will play another 3 yrs on MHW, even after backing from MH Rise. Cuz MHW is a game has blood and soul, it is even a book, the more you dig in, the more detail and story you will find out. Hunters forever!

An open world MH with a guiding lands system would be a must, but bigger, big hub, walk right out into the open world with friends, they'll just be monsters roaming and you open up new areas by doing story. Seemless transitions, and random events that can happen in the surrounding habitats. Also after the Palamutes introduction, it'd be sad to not see them return again for a long time.

[@RiftFishing]

I honestly think that's the direction the series is heading. My friends disagree, but considering they already have expeditions, I think Open World is a natural expansion of that system. Interconnect the areas, and you already have a working open world. Accept a quest from a town, and then just head out the gate, or fast travel to a specific point without any loading screens and bam, you're in the hunt. On the multiplayer side, you could just jump into an in-progress quest just by entering the area and accepting a prompt would feel awesome. Imagine just seeing squads of hunters taking down monsters from across the map while you're up at a high point.

And if they make it next gen, only, creating it as a massive open world would be amazing, skipping the traditional hubs, but rather find and help build settlements where you can then create weapons and armor, eat, etc while also gaining quests.

Like the rath nests and stuff that happens there from time to time like a bazel invading them for example. I still want a hub but an open world outside of it with actual good rewards for hunting because you could free hunt in world too on a map but the monsters wouldn´t drop much. You needed to do investigations or quests if you wanted good rewards.

[@belabohlen6156]

That would kinda fuck up the balancing and the solutions for the created problems would likely suck more than clutch claw.

[@citrusjelly9069]

I just started world again on pc and it looks amazing. Tons of players on and well worth while we wait on the next entry

[@nahrubish]

I wish they keep the base MHW. The fighting style before clutch claw. and the fighting with behemoth is very memorable for me It was taking weeks, strategy and built I finally beat behemoth with GL and my palico I was a GS user changed into long gunlance and beat Behemoth with attrition. I couldn't jump to avoid the meteor so I needed to hide behind the rock. it was almost time limit, too The satisfaction of successful hunt behemoth was indescribable even though I only once beat it. It was enough for me

[@ShockDiamondStudios]

My first and only Monster Hunter game. Until Capcom makes another one with this style, I might not get another one. I love the challenge these monsters provide. Not too easy but not agonizingly hard.

[@CaptainEffort]

If you want another in this style 4U is probably the closest you'll find. It's made by the same team, and also places a big emphasis on story compared to the other titles. It's still many people's favorite in the series, which considering World and Rise exist should really say something.

[@axcel_riki]

yeah MH rise is not the main story.. that's why the art is deferent

[@Raezra]

Me and my two friends who played MHW:I all thought the clutch claw was neat at first as well, but then the overreliance was annoying. And of course me, being the greatsword user of the group, ended up being the designated clutch-clawer, which was a duty I was never relinquished of. However, bashing the monsters into walls was fun, so I guess it wasn't too bad.

[@garylai363]

All the event quests are available for MHW:I since the end of the game, so you can play everything you want. When they had timed releases during the game's life, I thought of it as a good thing. It gave you quests to focus around or come back to the game for specific purposes. Guiding lands are much better than anomaly investigations IMO. Guiding lands were a chill place to hunt as you can't really lose, and the only thing you're really hunting for are the materials when you wall bang the monster, as well as the unique vegetation and ores that are on the maps. Also, they made it easy to search for other people's online games which would have the levels you needed. These features just feel more organic than what we have in Rise:S. To me, MHW:I is a masterpiece. The art, design, gameplay, sound/music, and fun factor are top notch. I found that the design in MHW:I was so well focused, but not restrictive. (other's might feel differently). The combat, systems, gear, build, decorations, drop rates, were all carefully designed and thought out. MHR:S feels like a more loose design ethos, and they give you more open ended options. Some might like it better but I find it lacking in focus and meaning.

[@snipeuout1458]

Have you checked out the “Ice” mod on pc? It removes the importance of the clutch claw and gets rid of claggers. It feels much more like base world and has some great weapon changes included. I’d love to see a video on your thoughts!

[@grimreefer213]

Yeah I wish I had a PC to play with ICE mod active because after 850 hrs in Iceborne the clutch claw becomes very tedious, it wouldn’t be a big deal if it felt optional but the fact that they completely gutted hitzones and nerfed weakness exploit made it feel like a mandatory mechanic

[@Miss_Distress]

I never played this, despite enjoying monster Hunter on the PSP. I didn’t have a powerful enough PC at the time. Might get it for my steam deck during the sale currently on 😊

[@Faust_YT]

From Astera to Seliana, from New World to the Guiding Lands, every single detail on the environment looks so good and natural while being so dynamic. Like it can literally exist in our world. Gameplay wise there are some problems but it's alright overall.

[@ravenvalentine4919]

the claw is an amazing add on to the game since it gave us hunters many new methods of interacting with the world and monsters and more mobility, what made the game easier for you is the defender set which they made for new players to use to finish world content and go to iceborn content so the game would '' update'' its quests system and weapons and armors and etc to catch up to the dlc of ice born, but then again the ice born stuff is bigger and deeper then world AND includes world its pretty much a way for the devs to have you play the first part of the game on easy mode like a tutorial then when all the mutated monsters infest the world from the first lands to the ice born to the gilded lands you figure out what the game is really like

[@sonofthefakegod]

Dude, world is probably one of the greatest games of our generation And it holds up if u start today aside from some easy mode options u get it’s still a 10 out 10 game

[@dovahkiin125]

Dude, it's literally one of the worst game in the series

[@sonofthefakegod]

@@dovahkiin125 Sorry you are thinking of rise, I think you reply to the wrong comment, I do agree rise is the worst MH game. World is the best one, the only bad thing is that it could use some more monsters

[@dovahkiin125]

@@sonofthefakegod lmao, rise is one of the best, especially including sunbreak. World has an enormous amount of problems that ruins the games in every way possible, especially base world does everything to contradict all the things that the series did well in the previous entries, like the ai that is so well executed that they've hanged it for the new monsters added with the title updates

[@sonofthefakegod]

@@dovahkiin125 Hahaha the fact that you think Rise is good tells me everything Rise is not even a MH game anymore is just an action game But sure go play your little action game here it’s a cookie

[@dovahkiin125]

@@sonofthefakegod wtf r u saying man, rise is what the b team tried to do for a long time, it's not a contradiction like that shitty ass mh game that is world, which wants to be an action story driven with mh elements and mh farming that is absolutely bad implemented, just see the maps that are not gameplay based but details over details that results in heavy game with 5 minutes of loading times per quest and terribile arenas filled with ledge's and slides. At least know realize what your are taking about before spitting really questionable statements.

[@ThijsTrials]

Soloing safi jiiva before the solo update is still one of my all time gaming highlights, I felt so damn badass

[@iseekpeaceandtranquility]

i actually forgot i bought this game, just checked my steam library and there is only 12hours on it lol, installing rn.

[@darkhero2]

Hope you have an awesome time with it!

[@Lodestone8]

I just hope there's some greater level of single player support in MH6. I get it I really do, MH is first and foremost a multiplayer series and experience. But I think singleplayer should be a choice I'm actively able to make rather than a bunch of settings I have to switch off. Just a simple singleplayer or multiplayer button on the title screen would be nice and possibly allow for pausing in hunts as you wouldn't be holding anyone else up. I get I can play MH alone, I just wish it didn't feel like the game was begrudging my choice to do so.

[@manuelumali6145]

Just bought the game a few months ago and I am loving it. Not in a rush to get to iceborne tho.

[@elsimdrifting]

Im a MHW:IB long time player, its my first introduction to Monster Hunter. I did played Rise/Sunbreak and finished it but didnt felt like staying or grinding for more cause it feels dead and lacking something, somewhere. I recently went back to MHW and got addicted again. Helping SOS here and there, farming on Guiding Lands and trying out new weapons and builds.

[@joshuahatfield538]

My first monster hunter game and I still play it. 2,300 hours later, played it rid morning 😂

[@SeekerStyle]

Wow is it this much fun? Rise was my first MH game, have over 200 hours on it and had such a blast. I got a Steam Deck and as amazing as MHW looks, I’m reluctant to play for two reasons, controls and combos are more difficult I’ve been told and I’m afraid servers might be dead now? Please encourage me to play :)

[@joshuahatfield538]

@@SeekerStyle Servers are a lot quieter but I'm pretty sure I'm on the platform with the lowest amount of activity and it's still pretty good 🤷‍♂️ If you're on Xbox I'd love to show you the ropes on everything, from what I see so far, the combos are actually easier in MHW. The loss of the silk bug moves is sad, but you can also clutch claw onto the monster and knock it out prreeettttttyy frequently

[@t-rexngatokorua8733]

Im happy to see this is still being played. I may have to jump back in. Nothing beats that satisfaction of finally beating a new monster....only to realise that you want their armor and weapon set and then have to go back and do it again...and again....and again....and im ok with that. lol

[@StillWeRide]

Only reason I prefer rise is the roster. World is all flying wyverns...rise has a nice mix of everything

[@paratoadis8394]

what???

[@SAKURA-gt8ns]

True true that’s what I like about it, a mix of new and old, a wonderful treat for hunter of new and vets

[@darkhero2]

true, World did have that problem of not having a good amount of variety in its types of monsters, which Rise addressed quite well

[@kottadragon]

Yeah, it's unfortunate but a problem I don't believe much could've been done about. The issue was primarily with the engine, which, like with the test Lagiacrus in the game files, struggled to handle the more complex animations of monsters like leviathans and carapaceons without breaking their skeletons. If there's ever a sequel, they'll hopefully know to build around this in the future and adress it early on before they cross the point of no return.

[@StillWeRide]

@kottadragon thanks for the info!! Never knew that was the reasoning. I really hope they get locked down for the next gen monster hunter.

[@peshiii97]

First time I played MHW in 2020 I mindlessly followed and hunted an Anjanath for 2 hours lol. I was actually clueless bc it's my first Monster Hunter game. It was a fun experience. Proof of a Hero is one of the best bgm I've heard in a game.

[@BEAST-gv1ou]

The clutch claw was amazing for the hammer

[@riichhwrld_ix]

bro, this the one of the best mh games I've played. I played it when it first came out, and bought again in PC like two weeks ago... the game's still alive, it has plenty of people. I bought mhw instead of rise because of how alive the game felt, which is something that Rise doesn't have. Btw, I killed alatreon just yesterday with a group, and it felt great 🥺

[@tegridyfarms6851]

I started playing this game 2 or 3 weeks ago. Its my first MH. And I love it!

[@Najjara]

There's still plenty of people playing! So you aren't late at all

I just started playing MHW a month ago… I have 140+ hrs played already and I have barely scratched the surface! This game… THIS GAME!! So goooooood abs the community is just amazing!! I suggest to All

[@jawknee4088]

It’s so addicting isn’t it? I just got it a week ago and already clocked in 30 hours. I’m just taken aback by how amazing this game already is, and I don’t even have Iceborne yet!

[@lukeytavares7128]

I have 1200+ hours in mhw and iceborne and I can confirm this game is the best MH ever made.

Coming from world. Rise just doesn't hold up

You guys remember when Capcom nerfed WEX to make room for a clutch-claw mandatory meta? Pepperidge farm remembers.

Without a Wiggler Head, rise will never get close to be as good as world.

[@bosstwind7010]

monster hunter tri had player housing, 3 houses you earned as you went higher up in rank and you got items to decorate with as you played.

[@theadmiral4157]

I absolutely love world. I tried playing rise but it didn't took long for me to leave it. Theres something missing, I don't know what it is but I find myself just speed running the story of rise and not re-hunt monsters I've encountered. All I do is just finish the key quests until I get to the end game and quit. But world is different, I find myself re-hunting monsters with different weapons and it's never tiring. It's always fun

[@Mr_Racooner]

Same. Rise is fun and Longsword is a blast but I just don't feel like I'm as enveloped

[@Oliver-2103]

I like Rise I'm currently 16 hours in and speedrun the heck out of the game. In MHFU and MH World I used to grind certain monsters to push through plateaus but I first tried every single Monster I've played against. In MHFU I had A LOT of plateaus and in MH World I had some struggle opponents like the Nergigante or the Odogaron that I couldn't kill with my underleveled armor.

[@Mr_Racooner]

@Oliver yeah I struggle more on rise because I used insect glaive in world which was fun and fairly simple but switching to longsword was a whole different game play and eventually in rise lots of monster do counter punishes or have weird moves or even spam them

[@gilibrasil]

I'm playing Rise at the moment but I have World installed. I played around 2k hours and I still love it.

[@Infinite8blue]

Better than Rise, I played rise for about 2 weeks before I got bored. In world there was so much to do even I didn't feel like hunting I would just smoke a spliff go to the guiding lands and farm minerals and bones. It was pretty relaxing. Rise have nothing like that to offer

[@monciesfrancojr8658]

Playing it for my first time it’s really addictive. almost done with the main storyline

[@xylvnking]

World is one of my most played games but has proven difficult to come back to. After the QOL of rise it just feels clunky - I wanna just hunt monsters and world wants me to experience World while rise is like aight go hunt monsters. 10/10 tho just wasn't the same coming back, potentially spoiled by rise.

[@NoLuckJustSkill1337]

It is still a lot of fun and there are still a ton of people active online. There are a lot of Endgame Lobbys if you need Fatalis or something like that and also Low-/High Rank Groups

[@FelixFatalis]

I remember January 2018. A few days before release a good friend who I met back when I was 10 in MH3U on Wii U messaged me on WhatsApp after a LONG time of silence and asked me if I'll get the game. Few days after release I got my hands on MHW. I only got PS Plus because I wanted to play with him. A chain reaction occured and if I wouldn't have bought PS Plus back then, I dunno if I was friends with my now best friend. I owe this series so much love. It made me meet my first true friend in MH3U because he joined my lobby. This man made me indirectly meet my very close friends (he also is a close one but rarely plays videogames by this time) over PS Plus which he made me buy because of MHW. Monster Hunter is more than just a franchise to me. It has become a part of me and boy I'm proud it is. Have a nice day and I hope that there is any game out there that can give you the same kind of warmth that MonHun gave to me!

i'm literally counting down days to the next PAX event hoping for at least an official statement about MH6.. i NEED a main MH game as polished as world was. It will probably be the only reason i will buy a ps5 if they release it there first (likely).

[@yes4022]

I recently got rise for the switch ( i had mh world on ps4, but never really got into the series ) after playing Rise and falling in love with it, I think i could def give this a go

[@thewrathfulbadger2614]

If I could say one thing I loved of Rise. Is the Buddy System. Having my own buddy army of friends was really cool

[@litfamhamflow7325]

I am having trouble choosing between MHW and MHR and I heard a lot of people say that rise has better combat and exploration and that world has a better world and monsters. I am leaning towards rise because of the combat and wire bugs but I still wanted to ask here. BTW I will play the ps4 version if that helps you guide me.

[@nekrumzero8117]

Honesty both are pretty good and both have their own issues. I would say "World" since it's cheaper and has a physical copy/ I got the Master edition wich includes the dlc for around 30 dollars when the game was fairly new. Also make sure to buy the expansion for any of them.

[@RealNword276]

i played monster hunter world when it first came out on xbox on gamepass and instantly fell in love with a game ive never seen before, sadly i lost gamepass and missed iceborne. Then i bought rise thinking id be the same as world now as i still love rise and still play the heck out of it, i was disappointed it wasnt as amazing and astounding as i had felt world, recently buying world i am happy to say that same amazing feeling being immersed with the world. i live monster hunter.

[@hermitcard4494]

Alatreon should have had a different "tutorial mechanics"... Like whenever you inflict enough elemental damage TO ANY MONSTER, you weak their strongest special attacks ONE TIME. This way players would naturally do the same to lower it's judgement move, but then realized its elemental "hp" is the highest in the game.

[@Lucky-GEN2]

This game man it being my very first mh game it brought me so many good experiences and bad ones lol but nonetheless wish I could forget and start all over no other game has made me feel the way world did 💙
