When people buy this game, they need to understand. This is not "Monster Fighter". It's Monster HUNTER. You're going to be tracking them down and killing them. You'll need the right tools for things. You aren't going to be some crazy ninja assassin. You're gonna be hunter trying to take down giant creatures

As a newcomer, the hardest part of the game was the first week. Especially choosing a weapon. It's so slow and confusing at first, but when you find your weapon, it goes down hill from there. When you figure out how to capture monsters and learn the crafting system and armor upgrades, it gets better, new monsters become larger and harder. I legit stopped playing cod, gears and other shooter games to grind out hours in this masterpiece. 9.5 out of 10

[@Walamonga1313]

I don't think going downhill is what you meant...

I really recommend this one. To all newcomers, don't rush. Move at your own pace, learn the movements of the monsters, be patient. Yes, there's a time limit but 50 minutes is plenty enough to take down 3-4 large monsters. Choose the gear you're most comfortable with and grow on that. Don't think of it as an action-packed game but more of a rhythm game. Time your dodges, your great sword charges and even your item management. I swear, if you'll get the hang of this game, nothing is more rewarding than going on a successful hunt you carefully planned with. Enjoy!

[@TheNameTooSexyToShow]

50 minutes time limit? Can I walk around in the world without this time limit? I want to hunt, but I would also love to just walk around in the forests and mountains, just enjoying nature. I used to walk around in the world of Skyrim a lot, just listening to the birds singing, the water flowing, the wind blowing, just watch how the trees move while the wind blows through them. Now I want to play Monster Hunter World and would love to enjoy the nature in this world as well. Is it possible? Or I am limited to 50 minutes to walk around while doing nothing but listening to birds singing, water flowing, etc.?

@@jimwelmh1421 I am in the same boat as you. Finished the game cracked and got to hr 110. Then I bought the game 50% off from steam. I did however move my save file to continue where I left off. I hope you knew before-hand that you could move your save file and wasn't forced to start over😯

[@jimwelmh1421]

@@WisdomAkpan211 I didn't know how to move save files back then so I started over. Wait, did you fight tempered monsters in the crack version? I was forced to buy because I was hyped by comments of these tempered and AT monsters. Sessions were fun, too. So what's your strategy for iceborne? I know this game will be cracked too.

[@WisdomAkpan211]

@@jimwelmh1421 Well first of all, tempered monsters minus deviljho, lunastra, behemoth, leshen, and the arch tempereds were already in the base game once you finished the main story. The cracked version that I got was world updated as of march 2019, which includes all the free title updates up to that time, minus certain events. This meant that I was able to fight all the available tempereds (odo, legiana, etc) including deviljho and lunastra. So for me to get all the events for the arch tempereds, ancient leshen and extremoth, I modded them in via nexusmods. This gave me all the arch tempered events, the ancient leshen and extremoth events and a few more goodies. That's how I still managed to get a taste of the hardest difficulty mhw had to offer with the cracked version. Hope this clears things up for you😁

[@WisdomAkpan211]

@@jimwelmh1421 To fight tempered monsters all you have to do is go on expeditions, find blue tracks of any monster and do that until you get investigations. Starting off though, you want to get many investigations so your first few investigations isnt necessarily to fight the monster initially, but walk behind it for about like 20 minutes to accumulate more investigations which can also give you other monster tempered investigations (works just like regular investigations) That's how you grow your tempered investigations for monsters. Arekkz made a good video about it. Just search "how to get tempered monster investigations" and find Arekkz. I cant believe you haven't fought tempered monsters yet😅

Why force someone that isnt interested in grinding to keep playing? I understand the love of the game but if after a few hours you still dont enjoy the gameplay there is no reason to beg them to keep playing it even longer since you essentially just keep fighting more difficult monsters to get better gear and thats what makes up MH games. some people love that but others dont enjoy grinding and prefer storytelling. "a few hours" is more then enough time to see if you enjoy the direction game is going in.

[@capybaragames347]

I am a newcomer to the series and this game has made me fall in love with it. I've been looking for a game for so long with these quirks. you have to actively stratergise your hunt on the spot which is what I really love about games such as this one. I hate the fast combat of shadow of war where the fight is over in 2 seconds. In Monster hunter world you have to study the monster you are hunting before going in for the kill which is what the middle earth series tried to do but failed

[@greybayles7955]

Grey Wizard dude even just an hour later is a nightmare. If they haven’t watched the cutscene you can’t help on a mission you already did. If they aren’t on the same mission they can’t play up either. I remember on the old psp versions getting wrecked by monsters I hadn’t even seen on my own yet lol

[@biggmike707]

man12345678912 so if your friend is behind and your ahead you cant play with them at all?

[@kylecoucke943]

biggmike707 you can actually. But ur friends won't be able to join you on the hunt until after you view the cutscenes for the MAIN MISSIONS ONLY. There plenty of other missions you can play w friends

[@Jedex96]

I think there should be a function to open the hunt to online friends, and it works mid hunt. It should be an item called SOS flare or some SOS item. Because I don't own the game I can't be more precise... In short, watch the cutscene then call for help with the SOS and your friends will be able to join the hunt.

[@Ureallydontknow]

you forgot to mention for the noobs that weapons can get dull and need to be sharpened. I think this is a huge aspect of the gameplay.

Fake yeah I started off with insect glaive when it was first introduced in Monster hunter 4 ultimate. Then became my main once i got used to it swapping with SnS

Did you know, you can easyly get the 3 buffs by manually using the insect itself and hitting specific body spots of a large monster.

[@allenperez1234]

"Fans of the series might be a bit disappointed to see no new weapon types added." Hahahaha it's quite the opposite actually. All weapon types got new moves or mechanics added and most of the veteran players I know who only stuck to a few weapon types in previous game now find most if not all weapon types very fun and satisfying to play. There's no need to add another weapon types because they've polished every existing weapon to a sheen.

The T Rex looking guy, believe it or not, is actually a pretty new looking monster when it comes to the series.

Saobie 3 The had the Glavenus in generations and it was considered a Trex but the anjanath actually feels more like a t Rex than the Glavenus did

So I'd have to disagree, when i saw the ajanath i thought the whole dinosaur thing is very played out in MH. still cool though

Combat is not clunky, it's realistic. You feel the weight of a weapon with every swing. So strategizing your attacks really makes a difference. Also being prepared makes a world of difference between a 40 minute hunt to a 10 minute hunt. Playing with friends makes the monster harder but it's more fun.

[@Walamonga1313]

Exactly. Heavy weapons are HEAVY so they are slow but they do a ton of damage and usually let you defend (or have hyper armour), while lighter weapons don't do as much damage but they are way faster and mobile. I like how "weighty" the game feels, it makes it more realistic and balanced than just swing a huge ass anime sword like it's nothing.

[@ShitOwl]

idk bout realistic have you seen the helm breaker move lmao seems like smthn out of an anime but it is jrpg afterall but sure i love it

[@hardcoreking52]

Definitely. Going in with the a weapon that has an element the monster is vulnerable to and wearing armor that's more resistant to a monsters attacks. Hunting with friends makes it easier and more fun.

[@alexandersveryown4760]

[@formula2233]

My favorite part has been egg delivery quests. It turns the image of a badass hunter that you've built up in your head and flips it upside down.

Great video! You totally nailed it when you said that it’s for specific players and after you let it get the hooks in you, it’s amazing. It took me a little while to get into the groove of it, but I’m so glad that I pushed through the initial frustration. I feel like monster Hunter world is a combination of the whole series in so if you’re coming in as a new player it can be daunting because of all of the many options in crafting items, but realizing that it’s all there because players have been playing for so long that the depth has just continued to dig, allow me to realize I need to take it slowly and eventually I’ll be glad that it’s all there and I am at the point now so keep pushing if you even slightly think this is the game for you because it’s amazing once you get through that initial hurdle

[@isuckatguitar12]

To all the people that are saying its repetitive, did you ever play Diablo? World of Warcraft? Both of those games were revolutionary and all-time hits. Even Final Fantasy has a bit of a grindy element. The game's a gear grind. If you don't like that idea, then yeah don't buy it. But don't call it a shit game because you don't like the concept; MH games execute the gear grind concept pretty well. Want more of a challenge? Play through the game with only one set of gear, or one weapon, or completely unupgraded. Or do min-max shit like people in Dark Souls were doing with the no-armor RTSR boss oneshot kills and shit. If people can still play Dark Souls since Demon's Souls and not get bored then either you're looking at the game from the wrong angle or its simply not the type of game for you.

I'm willing to do that but it seems that it will get repetitive and worst of all , I like to suffer on games , they are supposed to be a challenge but nowadays most games seems like a race where I just go trough things pressing buttons

[@FeralRaptorr]

As a fan since 3-Ult, I like World. It has a lot of "Quality of Life" improvements, and I understand that; porting, improving graphics, removing segments from areas, adding Turf Wars, mantles, pets, all the countless stuff in World that greatly adds on from the previous installments... but once you get to the endgame and past HR 49 (wish anyone new good luck), there isn't all that much to do except wait for the next monster patch or festival event. While Investigations do offer randomized quest possibilities, and Tempered monsters offer a somewhat new challenge & grind, the Monster roster's size in World becomes very evident by the endgame. World's Roster: 52 Monsters so far (both large and small) MH3U: 73 Total MH4U: 98 Total MHGen: 107 Total MHGU: 129 Total MHFrontier Z: 179 Total But I won't be an ignoramus and say "Capcom can do so much more", I understand the money and hardware limitations that goes into adding new assets to a game. So as a matter of opinion, World was more or less a test to see how well it would sell worldwide, and it greatly exceeded expectations. It's a good game, don't get me wrong. As of now, however, it's a small Monster Hunter World. I'd give it an 8/10

[@mightytaco123]

The strategies me and my friend came up with are pretty cool. Like he’d launch me in the air with the switch axe and I’d do an arial attack with the dual blade to counterattack fliers

I love this game, the insect glaive makes mounting very easy. You also get a giant beetle to attack monsters for even more damage especially if it's poison with an element.

[@rhakeshg9406]

I used to play the first version of monster hunter on psp and years later playing mh world on my ps4 is amazing. I absolutely fell in love with it and the shear size of these monsters legit terrifies me. Fighting alongside people online or friends is a must just to up the level of fun

[@The.Nasty.]

The combat isn’t for everyone, but mostly just cause it’s takes time to get proficient at... and cause the monsters are very reactive and can actually read your movements and move or attack accordingly. Very challenging, it feels like you’re in an epic and terrifying fight and I love it 👍🏼

Can i run smoothly on a i7 processor 16 gb ram and with a RTX? I got total war warhammer 2 and it causes some performance issues when the battle is too crowded

[@Gabbiskate]

I had never heard of the monster hunter series before this one and now 500 hours in, i still play this game almost all the time. When you get too the end game the game really shines. When you start making builds, know the mechanics, grind for kulve taroth weapons, hunt arch-tempered elder dragons, start using different weapons. You can literally play this game forever and i aint joking about that. 9/10

[@KeIpyG]

Gabriel Sölvi Hlynsson how long till the end game i got the game for free and tried playing it but the intro took so long and the first hunter was really boring when does it start getting interesting

This game had almost SoulCalibur levels of character customization. That’s a win in my book.

[@XmarcX92]

Tesla Fox I’ve looked at some videos and still don’t see the hype over the character creation. Hopefully I can find out for myself in a few hours.

[@teslafox3412]

It's not quite the best customization, but its still miles above what we've been getting lately in terms of triple A games.

[@XmarcX92]

Got the game now and I am still trying to find out how this is being compared to soulscalibur lol this feel pretty basic.

[@teslafox3412]

XmarcX92 To be fair, not many games can come close to SC customization. I guess your right lol.

[@jlichtenberger]

As someone who is new to the series I am on the fence about buying it, am I better off waiting until it's discounted in a couple of months? I'm very wary of grindy games, especially if said game does not make the grinding fun.

Playing MH in psp with my friends was one of my best gaming experiences that I will never forget.

[@thebutcherman3219]

I'm sort of stuck in what game to buy at the moment, while I am waiting for the release of battlefield 2018, i have been playing bf1 for ages and it has started to get a bit old. I also enjoy games such as Assassins creed and Darks souls, both of which i have played the latest game and i am wondering if this game 'monster hunter world' would be worth buying?

[@quekZo95]

Im late but yep

[@wafflnator2057]

The term grind is usually seen as a chore. "Grinding" in this is not a chore. This game is so much more then that. The gameplay is rewarding and fun. The goal Isn't just to get better gear, It's also to learn and strategize. There is no visible exp bar, but the more you play the more IRL experience you get. That feeling is something no other game can capture the same way. If you're scared that you might have to think to play this, then look somewhere else. The monster hunter series is amazing, and this is the best yet.

[@Travel-Adv]

Day one purchase, having a lot of fun. Newcomers will have a lot of learning to do but once you get past that you will see that the mechanics will make sense.

[@jonathanc8008]

I dont know man i soaked about 300 hr into mhgen but am still absolutely loving this one! It feels considerably different but the fun addicting gameplay is still here!

[@ihatecabbage7270]

The game that define a generation, it rewarded veterans and newcomers. I play it with Iceborne till this day, the new Alatreon update is just put everything you learn and master to the ultimate test.

[@plipplop728]

And after you feel you passed the test, Fatalis came..

[@Skullwolf37]

Would you do a before you buy on monster Hunter generations ultimate for the switch?

[@alasdaresineaeris2772]

Been playing Monster Hunter since Dos. To see we can now play the game with graphics better than the then-amazing cutscenes from 10 years ago - this franchise has really come a long way. One thing about this global release is that players outside of Japan are missing out on the back story or world information from the older games. There is a Monster Hunter Wikia in Japanese that includes the smallest detail of just about everything, and from what I've seen, nothing in English is comparable to it. This is a shame, and I hope there's a translation project going on somewhere on the Internet so that everyone in the world could share the same degree of immersion.

[@zephloe]

Deoxir Blunderbuss this is the only complaint ive had with this series. Although i miss the psp days

[@stygianxv2797]

No point sugar coating it. If people want instant gratification and hand holding they won't like this game. Either gitgud or gitout

[@qphlat2726]

Deishi Phoenix I find this game pretty hand holding personally. Just saying..

[@asakapa0003]

Whats up with everyone saying gitgud on this game? Its like the motto

[@qphlat2726]

asakapa0003 No clue. It’s not hard just tedious.

[@TheCivildecay]

So this game fanbase is already as toxic as darksouls?

[@unknown09111]

Yeah coming Playing both Monster Hunter games like Freedom Unite, 3 and Dark Souls, Bloodborne. Monster Hunter is much more Hand Holding lol.

[@justinjacobs1501]

If you don't like the combat, try one of the numerous other weapon types. each has its own feel. The methodical Great Sword where a lot of the time you are trying to find that perfect opening for a triple charged draw attack, to the Dual Blades flurries of hits in between quick dodges, to the Hunting Horn with it's combination of buffs and bludgeoning attacks, and even the Light and Heavy Bowguns that let you fight from a distance...

[@kosmik8647]

I love heavy weapons. Great sword is my fav so far. I used the bow at first because it was easier to use but then I fell in love with the great sword.

[@paradoxxor7770]

This is the first Monster Hunter I've bought and I absolutely love it, it is everything I love about games. It makes you actually feel and attach to the world. Normally I would actually wait for a "before you buy" but I was just too excited for this one

[@GreenFalcon926]

I really want this. Do you need to have played the other games? Or does this stand on its own?

[@Ascendeus]

This is amazing! After starting with Monster Hunter Freedom Unite 9 years ago, it's truly amazing to see how much the game has grown.

[@MADHATERSOREO]

It’s a grind but there is so many different variable that can change up the experience each time. First 45 minuets are slow but when you learn how to play it’s awesome. Newcomer btw.

[@Numbingbird]

I'm just happy the grind is actually meaningful and fulfilling unlike Destiny. IMO there's never been a bad Monster Hunter game.

[@LoceyTheGarg]

I bought this game today and I’m not into this type of game but I can’t put this game down it’s boring at first but it’s amazing I love it. Probably my new favorite game

Really looking forward to playing this and I’m new to the Game Series. Brought it yesterday so my evening will be spent starting the game. Great video.

[@bravex7917]

I'm so late lol but I finally played the whole game and it takes a while to get used to but it is so satisfying. I started with the insect glaive and never switched weapons. Once you get late game it is amazing to have all the different tools and super challenging fight.

[@wiseguy100]

[@ayy2193]

Which ones?

[@RegularRetro]

Zelda, Mario, Xenoblade 2 Wolfenstein, AC Origins, Shadow of War. Trying to play CoD and Fortnight in-between as well.

[@inolongerusethisaccount4004]

I'm New to the series is it worth downloading since it on gamepass?

[@randomdewd930]

I'm so late but I'm thinking of buying it because most if my games are shooting games. Might be a weird question, but can you remove some of the things on your screen? The HUD is a bit too crazy for me.

[@jintsuubest9331]

And if you are new comers, there is no best weapon in game, gameranx get it wrong, provided you know your weapon and utilized its strength, one can kill same monster in about same time range with all weapon (except the range, opaf in World, much less timing and positioning compare to how it used to be)

[@zinamaru]

[@brownishchris1496]

I’m looking at this after I’ve played it and I absolutely love it. I also love the soundtrack, audio design, monster design, and the world in general but just like for Botw this is my first time playing a game in the series and I’m near addicted to it

[@error-bu3vi]

i've seen a good amount of people saying they dont like this game cuz they saw it getting high critic rattings so they just bought it blindly expecting that theyd also think its a 9/10.

[@therealr0bert]

Yeah, MH is the exact opposite of a casual game so going in blind isn't a great idea. It's a series where a review doesn't really cover what will make it enjoyable or not, it's more about the player than the game.

Well I'm sold. I'll pick this baby up some time next month

[@jonzkie7416]

my childhood memories haha..been playing this game since i was a child in my psp... i recomend this game for players with a lot of patience to try this...if you want a game that is challenging and unique style of farming and hunting...

[@julioosilia]

Hey @gameranx Is this review still valid for the Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Master Edition??

[@kukukachu]

Iceborne added a gimmck called the clutch claw where you strap onto the beast and "tenderize" them and shoot them into a wall. Amusing at first, but since Capcom forced this gimmick as a must, it makes all of your strategies basically the same....there is however a mod which gets rid of the need for clutch claw and brings your game back to Monster Hunter World vanilla mechanics (pc only)
