I tried doing multiplayer (on PSN) I ended up with a team consisting of one japanese woman, a chinese man, a Irish Man, and me from the good old US of A....to say the least it was an interesting match.

Good to see ACG beat all the mainstream coverage, hopefully the channel gains even more traction.

[@otakon17]

SegwayDweeb IGN and Destructoid released reviews at around the same time actually.

[@maltsutty]

It's cause he uploads it the second the embargo lifts - smart for any reviewer to get it up quick. You all act like karek is the ONLY REVIEWER EVER to think of this ..... kind of obvious

[@AwokenGenius]

I heard he sent nudes to Capcom

[@EpsteinsRope]

SegwayDweeb Even more? 500k isn't substantial

[@saadrehman7688]

J&N WILD for a gaming review channel it's god-tier.

[@VZAAGE]

Whenever I'm on the fence for a game I rely on your reviews. Keep it up, sir.

[@ACGreviews]

thanks!

I'm playing solo I got no friends only enemies

[@h3llg4te32]

Speedy Ghost , me too so lonely...

Speedy Ghost I have friends but none of them has the game/console and some of them has shitty internet.. Oh well, SP is still always fun for me anyway.

From what I have seen of the gameplay, tearing oneself off from playing this to instead make a review is something that requires tremendous willpower. This looks awesome, can't wait for the PC port.

[@lowjoonleong9874]

Nice unbias video bro, really like it. Good job.

[@cmelda13]

This is actually my first MH:World review that I watched/read. As a huge MH fan seeing your quest timer go above 25 minutes, it is clear you are a newcomer/new player to the series so your opinion of the game is very needed for new players that want to jump in. And yes, this game is very deep, deeper than you may think and I wouln't go into this game without a proper guide (wiki or MH guides out there). Even with additions of damage numbers, ingame wikis and other stuff. Because if you think you have learned everything, you have basically just started. Good Job!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks man!

[@mini-mangames1363]

Ugh i need this in my fucking BODY

[@gooselord_prime]

As a long time Monster Hunter fan who started back on the PSP I think this was a very fair review of the monster hunter series in general. The issues you pointed out seem to be mostly the same in terms of gameplay style and game design that have been in the series since the beginning. I really hope newcomers to this series enjoy it as much as myself and other fans do, because it's a challenging rewarding, deep, fantastic series. My only gripe is that I have to wait until fall to play it on PC but even then the fact it's coming out at all on pc is a small miracle in of its self. But this games is shaping up to be amazing and I cannot wait.

[@ACGreviews]

is there any story to it or is it just gameplay centered?

[@JustinY.]

Thanks for the quality review, these have helped me save a lot of money

[@ACGreviews]

you bet

[@SkelNeldory]

Elijah MacDougall I'm mixed on this game. Looks like a cool game as a whole but as a new Monster Hunter title it's hard to say. It kind of seems like they made this for new players and it didn't seem like Karak had played many other games in the series either. Nothing wrong with that, I think I just needed more comparisons to past titles so I could gauge where this game might sit with me.

[@LionheartRen]

For what it's Worth Both GaijinHunter and ArekkzGaming have said this is their favorite entry so far.

[@spiderbat4956]

FUCK YOU JUSTIN! Get outta town before Sheriff Woody fucks you up.

[@exeterishere6928]

[@kilroy987]

I probably would have been more interested in this game if the story wasn't just about a bunch of hunting challenges. If the reasons for hunting were more than just clearing creatures for habitation, and more like saving an existing city or kingdom from immediate threats, that's much more my style. Instead this game seems like an extracurricular wilderness activity.

[@hashhood3394]

kilroy987 lol this was exactly what the older games were like (it was more subtle tho storywise). Just so happens they took this route to probably give fans something different.

[@Vanskynyrd]

You know, you're right. I'm selfish and only care about getting good gear from Diablos. :(

[@Vanskynyrd]

[@GeneralKnife]

Blamelouis some of the monsters threaten the ecosystem though like elder dragons

[@TheTroubleshooter]

really diablos is only endangered? Better make it extinct then along with the rhenoplos and konchus

[@ernievonvutenhauger7207]

Watching this while playing Monster hunter world. Why do I always watch ACG reviews after I bought the game?

[@bakublader1999]

14:22 I would like to say that the initial curve/ introduction you mentioned has actually drastically improved in MH:W. Right now the intro sequence is 45 minutes at most, in previous titles it could be upwards of 2-3 hours.

[@AtomictheComet]

As a veteran of this series who put tons of hours in these game. This is a pretty fair review. It IS repetitive and that will not fly with everyone some of the idea can feel pretty outdated for its time. I said this plenty of time as much people hyped it up just because of the "Pretty Graphics". This game is NOT for everyone. This game is still faithful to its roots which old fans will still love, others it may not. And that's how it is.

[@jayn8392]

AtomictheComet finally a veteran of the series who isn't some toxic screaming infant that can't understand how someone might not enjoy the things they do. Bravo sir

[@condor6327]

Sinister Dark Soul Why not just play it on PS4 or Xbox One?

[@condor6327]

Sinister Dark Soul Ah okay

[@CarlocoxLV]

After playing the franchise for about 13 years, I realized that I am no longer the hunter, I am the monster.

[@ABDBoxing]

Hey, ACG, uh I got a question unrelated to the game: Do you use any specific products on your beard? Like balm or oil? Now related to the review: I've been following you the past 2-3 years now and I have got to say that you are the best reviewer out there. You got humor, you weave the greatest sentences in the history of the written English language AND help me and thousands of others save money. Who do you think will play you in the movie you goddamned hero?

[@carllazarraga2858]

Whenever I need an in depth review, ACG is always my Go-to. This game is on sale on steam, right now lolz

[@ramirof1986]

Great review man. I think you went about the criticisms well and as a long time MH fan I've grown accustomed to certain tedious things about the series (menus, timers, etc). I like that you pointed those out for new players. For me, these are not significant issues and I feel that they've made a lot of changes in order to bring new players in..but I agree 100% with every criticism..game might be hard to get into at first but man is it rewarding. Keep up the great reviews man!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks

[@erebusparcae]

wohoo thanks karak i was waiting for your review :D

[@maldoran9150]

I appreciate your reviews a lot! Just today I went back to your Dragon's Dogma review before purchase. Thanks!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks!

[@Brian-uq6jm]

As a huge Soulsborne and MH fan, this game gave me the kind of hype I've not had in years. Pre-ordered the online deluxe edition as well as the Rathalos Edition PS4 Pro. Can't wait for it to unlock tomorrow and spend at least 1000 hours in it lol. I refused to spend less than 500 hours in any MH game i touch lol. HR 999 here I come!

[@ACGreviews]

enjoy

[@slimerewoods5766]

Brian max hr is 100 btw

[@0scarito]

In Tri you could go up to 999

[@slimerewoods5766]

Oscar Trujillo yesh but not in world

[@bombzo5678]

+Gwendal Cardenas Ortiz I think it's 999, but the trophy relating to HR is 100.

[@ExposingLames]

Good review, super detailed as always

[@ACGreviews]

thanks. Though I know something like this. Probably not up your alley though right?

[@ExposingLames]

ACG it looks good! However the grinding aspect u discussed def turns me off.

[@ThePorkchopExpress975]

Hey Solid rev . You are everywhere

[@ThePorkchopExpress975]

I thought this was some multiplayer only crap. I saw Jimmy from lotsofgames talk about it and found out it was actually still single player (with co-op if you want). I ordered it today. It was on sale for ps4 on Amazon.ca. i only played a bit of the first on PS2. It was fun.

[@Quacker_Gaming]

Yours is the only review that matters to me personally. Most other big sites like ign only give 2-5 minute reviews which feel more like summaries of the game. I don't want to watch someone saying yeah this game is about killing monsters. 3/5. I love that you not only do research but actually spend a lot of time in these games and pick out the things people want to know. Makes my purchases much easier knowing the product I'll be getting isn't garbage. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into all your reviews!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks

[@MsMercedes]

Never thought I'd see someone say that the Arena was one of the best parts of Monster Hunter. It actually kind of makes me happy that even some of the less popular parts are loved by new and old players. Great Review, got my sub.

[@marcofunke3607]

Great review, and I wanna add something to the "repetitive" thing. :) Even if you do the same thing over and over again, it feels never quite boring, cause the gameplay is as good and challenging as in "Dark Souls". You can't just mash things away, you have to think about what you are doing... every single time. Even if you know the ins and outs of a monster, being careless gets you killed. And that's the magic about the grinding in a MH-title, the gameplay is so good that the grind isn't as bothersome as in a Diablo or a JRPG or what not. The numbers don't matter as much as your skill as a player.

[@SaintParallax]

My friend told me right off the bat this game was going to be grindy, but I don’t mind the grind when the gameplay itself is extremely fun and rewarding, taking down these hulking beasts within the 20 minute timeframe of the beta hunts was a rush every time, I’m extremely excited to play this tomorrow

[@TheTroubleshooter]

you'll get to the point where you can down beasts around 5 to 10 mins which is rewarding on its own.

[@TabularConferta]

ACG, please continue to do such great content. You swiftly became the first place I go to for reviews. The ranking system works well with my own mind (and eases the dent on my wallet). The reviews are well structured and consistent between games. Keep up the great work.

[@purgatoriprytania5382]

Great review. And now, if they'd just use this same engine for a Dragon's Dogma sequel...

[@otakon17]

Purgatori Sakkara it's MT Frameworks, it's the same engine they used for Dragon's Dogma actually just a newer version for the current gens.

[@AwokenGenius]

The developer of Dragons Dogma is working on a new game, they said about it on their twitter.

[@raziellance1500]

Speaking of engine. What happened to panta rhei engine? That one looks way better than MT framework engine.

[@purgatoriprytania5382]

It seems to have shared a similar fate to Deep Down.

[@sage798]

Awoken Genius the new game could just be another DMC

[@andrefrazier8653]

amazing review... think imma wait a bit on this one until some updates, patches and new ish things have been added

[@BeatmasterAC]

Great Review Karak. Waiting for the PC Version.

[@86lanzo]

BeatmasterAC same here bro

[@Noob-gm2rv]

Same :(((((

[@GrayFox370]

Far worth the wait as that's the only version that will do 60fps.

[@123eland]

I'm actually tempted to buy a ps4 now

[@ShadowRaptor1O1]

Why the disappointment? The wait means they're actually putting in the effort to make the PC version actually good for once. Not to mention the highest the PS4 version will go, even on the PS4 Pro, is 40fps.

[@Laternater]

The funny quips is one of the big reasons I was waiting for this review from you lol.

[@MazNator]

fun, complex, cumbersome and repetitive? yeah, that sums up monhun perfectly, great review as always!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks!

[@mattweb1992]

the review I've been waiting for I love your reviews

[@ACGreviews]

thanks spread the word!

[@808ACEG]

The framerate issues you mention sound about the same as the ones in the beta. They did mention something about a day one patch, maybe some of the frame rate will have been addressed from that. Hopefully.

[@ACGreviews]

could be. But sadly in the history of...well never has that actually occurred on a game I reviewed. It has always been bullshit. Maybe not here who knows. But day one patch always turns out to be notorious for...excuse for performance

[@ThePluralApostrophe]

Michael Pelton can confirm FPS issues are still very present.

[@AZ-123]

Yo Karek, are you going to review "Kingdom Come: Deliverance"?

Long time fan of the series here. Thanks for your fair review, Karak

[@timothy7598]

Absolutely love this game. I'm playing it since yesterday. I think if you are a fan of the series this is a must buy! I started with Monster Hunter Freedom 2 on PSP btw.

[@moppy9226]

Nice review. I never played a MH but tried the beta and did not enjoy the game, it's pretty complicated and the core gameplay isn't for me but I know there is a passionate fan base for the game. Keep up the good work!

[@cy9nvs]

Just another 9 months or so.. Finally a review that mentions the repetitiveness without making it look like it's a bad thing. That's exactly what monster hunter is about just like most other online RPG's.

[@Njin8492]

ive never played the past titles but will try this one

[@viceanterra3]

You guys are in for a treat.

[@otakon17]

mark jacinto it has a steep learning curve but once it clicks with you, you'll love it.

[@MrJbedo]

You’ll love it first game where i actually felt addicted, back in my psp days i remember feeling my heart racing as time trickled down and was on mu last life, and i took down the tigrex, ill never forget it.

[@Vanskynyrd]

This game is a blast, it takes patience and skill

[@bufosp]

hey man you might want to look for adopt-a-hunter (look it up) movement. it's an initiative made by MH communities to pair up a long time fan (Veterans) to those who only picked up the game (Novice). the aim is for the vets to "guide" the novices in terms of game mechanics and lore of the game so that you won't feel overwhelmed. Not saying that those who are new couldn't enjoy the game, but this game has always been much more enjoyable to be played with friends. eh, who knows you might make a new friend there as well.

[@thenewreviewdotnet]

Reminds me of Lost Planet meets Jurrassic Park.

[@demonwarb1]

Been looking forward to this game, and your review almost as much. Thanks for a great review, as usual!

[@a1sawad]

It's really good game i played the beta too but i will skip it's just not my game style but that doesn't mean the game is bad hope you have a great time with it

[@farmsalot1233]

Waleed Jangeez more people need your attitude when it comes to gaming.

[@andreww4012]

Look! A unicorn!

[@arkansasrazorback6087]

Great review as always. This game is great. It didnt look like my type of game at first, but I was wrong. It is a very addictive game. There isnt too much story and there is a lot of grinding, but it is well worth it. If you like Dark Souls or Dragons Dogma, then get this game! You wont regret it. Best game I have played in a very long time.

[@RicharbY]

I already preordered it, just watching this video for fun.

[@fahmisinergia7266]

i will buy it in autumn :( great review btw i like the honesty not like other sponsored bullcrap

[@mimesoupit7305]

I once killed a Rathian with the 99 stones I got from mining. It was anti-climatic and funny as fk. Great review man! I’ve been a big fan of the MH series and it’s cool to see your input on it. Well thought out and you nailed the points. Great video man!

[@EmzoRulez]

i think the reason why a lot of the game seems like it has one foot in game design of a decade ago is because it's also supposed to appeal to long-time fans and therefore keeps mechanics that may seem odd to new players

[@invaderzam]

"Thw world is so dangerous that chicks probably give birth in gunshops here" Ok. That cracked me up.

[@SuperAverage]

First time getting into this. Cant wait.

[@danielcwc]

My birthday is today. But the game delivers to me tomorrow in Canada by Amazon. Could've been a great birthday monster hunter session with all my friends. Oh well, I will have that this weekend =)

[@omdhdk]

danielcwc happy birthday :)

[@danielcwc]

Thanks a lot =) Happy gaming!

[@omdhdk]

You're welcome :)

[@glennrobertson2805]

Really hope you review Kingdom Come: Deliverance 🤞🏼

[@sampleentry5253]

You can play this offline, but I encourage you to play multiplayer.

[@Zelisius]

Already pre ordered. It was a toss up between this and dragonball, but I do enjoy coop games more than I do pvp with the exception of some games. I enjoy the soulsborne games and horizon zero dawn mainly for their crazy monster fights, so I'm hoping I'll enjoy this.

[@courage552]

Same I chose this over Dragon ball fighterz i love the monster hunter series

[@BSG41913]

Compared to what we've been getting from the industry for the past year. This game is an all you can eat buffet!

[@Roman-wd1it]

Can you player single player? Or is it only co-op? I have no friends.

[@PCtillybobs]

Motivation For Life full game can be completed in solo and in co op

[@ZeRroALPHA]

not only does it have single player, but you can do all of the multiplayer quests by yourself if you want. they are more difficult however. but if you're worried about not having anyone to play with, you could always use the official monster hunter discord to find a group.

[@aggravatedman77]

Motivation For Life me either!!!!

[@lxs077]

you can and usually there are exclusive gear that you can only get in solo or only in multi player. but the game is way more fun multiplayer just join random games. the mh community isnt like most other online communities. we love helping out noobs (it gives us a chance to show off!!) plus you learn way more playing with other players, like when yo throw flash bombs or set up traps.

[@ahmarcamacho8404]

Geminion Ray wrong, rhe fame is more difficult with players. The monsters health increases the more players you have, also their body parts require more dmg before they drop. Solo versus 4 man the monster has 5x more health

[@fedos]

Before I even watch this one, I want to say that I trust your reviews more than any others.

[@BeerBourbonandGames]

Amazing room as always. I've been on the fence about getting this to play on my channel. I've never played a MH game before and afraid I'd be lost a bit.

[@Belgariad87]

Good review, i'm gettin my preorder tonight. I do want to mention one thing: Though this is just my idea, I think the reasoning behind why we are going around killing monster is supposed to be heavily supplemented by past games' quest descriptions, like they attack trade caravans or cause trouble for villages. Like, they are just known for needing hunting.

[@DanRPGMan]

I've been playing the series since the first Monster Hunter game and I love this one. Granted it's not the most difficult MH game but that's ok, it's still more challenging than most games. I wish I had more time to play but when I do it's always great fun. I usually don't play a lot of multiplayer games because people are jerks, especially when it comes to new players. The thing with MH is it doesn't pay to be an asshat, you'll get booted by players quickly and get no rewards from the mission. There's no PvP and everyone is working toward the same goal. The community has always been a good buch, sure you have a few who aren't but 99% of the time people online are nice. This isn't a story driven game, it's combat driven as well as loot. If you're looking for a deep narrative look elsewhere, it's not that kind of game. That's ok, some games aren't meant to have a big story. If you're having problems in combat and it feels really clunky it's because you're not familiar with the weapon you're playing yet and your timing is off. Once you put in enough time combat feels fluid and natural. There's 14 different weapons to choose from so everyone can find something to suit their play style and have fun with. There's a lot to do in Monster Hunter World and when you trap or kill a high level monster is very satisfying. Even some of the low rank ones are fun even for someone who has played the games before. Then you get to crafting better weapons and armour from monster parts. The thing that's great for me is the thrill of the hunt, tracking a monster and learning where it goes to get food or drink or where it roams to just take a walk is fun. Then you find where it sleeps ane can set up explosive barrels or a trap to trap the monster when they run back to their den to sleep after you've hurt them enough. I'll be monster hunting for quite some time and more DLC will be on the way and I'm very excited for it!

[@Kalas82]

not even a MH fan, but Jesus am i looking foreward to this game...probably more than any other game since 2016.

[@ACGreviews]

enjoy

[@sidazhong578]

Kalas82 great decision, once u become a fan, u will never get tired of this game

[@psfreak333]

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN MULTIPLAYER TO ME! Up until release I still don't have a grasp on how it works despite the hours of research I have done to try and answer this question. Can me and a few friends play this for our first time from start to finish or are there certain things you have to do solo? Also how early can you start engaging in coop? I'm beginning to worry from a few vague statements I have read

[@claytopolis]

the intro needs to be completed before you can do co-op. yes you can play with your freinds, but only four hunters can go on a mission at a time. also for whatever reason you cant play a story mission in co-op until you have gone through the cutscene. then you can quit out and start it up again with freinds if you want.

[@noodlito_]

Hooray there was an ad on your video Karak!!

[@Atarius]

Good review, repetitive is not bad to me but those timers.... ugh I'll probably continue passing on this until deep deep discount. I just hate timer's they're useless.

[@Kleoath]

Joshua Howell dude you get 50 mins on the timer and it takes about 20 max to kill a monster, even if its a super brutal one. I've never had a problem with the timer, even with certain investigations making the timer shorter as an added challenge (completely optional to do) I've still never had a problem with it. It's a great game and timers are probably the stupidest reason for you not to play it

[@osirisavra1301]

i kill the lat dragons in 4-6 mins and you have 15 mins to clear,at that time you become good enough to hunt sub 10 for sure.

[@Exel3nce]

If you Need 50 mins for a monster then honestly ? Dont bother buying this

[@bombzo5678]

The timer is there solely to tell if you if your current damage is working out. Needing 50 minutes to kill a monster is a little much, especially when there're a few 5 monster hunts that give the same amount.

Can’t wait! 12 more hours!

[@globalsaturation7333]

Yep this game will take our souls , there goes my sleep and social life for the next couple of months

[@logan-zf2wr]

Great review as always. I didnt get a chance to try out the beta, but are you able to turn off HUD in this game?

[@hasssna]

A big like and thanks for the review kharak keep up the great work ! Just a question , is it similar to Dragon's Dogma in terms of Gameplay with action/Rpg oriented where you can get new techniques and skills throughout the journey or should we settle for the same gameplay ? Thanks again .

[@hannesisking2498]

Dragon's Dogma and Monster Hunter are both at the very top of my favorite games and i enjoy them for the action, the combat and the different playstyles they encourage, so if you loved DD:DA, definately give it a shot! To answer your question; you can't unlock new moves with every weapon by grinding xp but by honing your skill on the controller. Every weapon class has a different playstyle and great variety of combos to boot, so by learning the ropes with your weapon, you will discover new attacks, abilities and counter moves to monster attacks. Dragon's Dogma had 9 (at times similiar) classes with a very limited moveset, this game has 14 and every single one is unique.

[@lippy_8392]

I'm sad that nobody wanted to play with you. Sounds like my childhood. Tragic.

[@allthingsdrew4710]

Mr Snigglton FTW

[@ACGreviews]

he is my personal hero

[@jryan5248]

Just wanted to stop in and (finally) give thanks for your honest, forthright reviews. I'm a 38 year-old without a lot of time for games, and have zero interest in watching reviews full of padding, subscription begs, grammatical errors, and dubstep. Your videos are a breath of fresh air for people like me. Keep up the great work.

[@captaincc2735]

Followed you because of Skill Up's video. Liking the reviews so far.

[@michaelcoffey1991]

No bullshit, no Micro transactions, no day one DLC, no buy to unlock nonsense. Huge fan of the game and if this feels like your bag you really need to buy and send the message that games like this done well and done for gaming fun an not to nickel and dime us as consumers can always use the support.

[@jokebapack2]

We can turn off the HUD right?

[@4minutesavedme]

Yep ^^

[@chaoseater999]

Superb review as always. Am waiting for my ps4 copy to come in via tomorrow's mail.

[@nastynacho1]

That drained reef looks sick reminds me of the Rift Reef Area. Also randomly the fish scales look really good. Looks fun. Waiting for PC personally.

[@danielcwc]

Capcom is starting things right in 2018 with SFVAE and now MH. I won't be surprised that this game will be more fun to play with friends than Anthem.

[@jayjayson9613]

danielcwc Imagine if we got a Resident Evil 2 Remaster as well? I agree, Capcom seems to finally get it.

[@danielcwc]

I hope they will have a new IP too. Or a new fighter.

[@user-el9bm4vr1f]

jay jayson you don't pay too much attention to resident evil I assume?their doing an hd remake of resident evil 2.....id have preferred just a remaster as I like the tank controls but regardless thought I'd let you know

[@user-el9bm4vr1f]

Wouldn't be surprised if bioware dies with anthem because of the EA logo of death stamped on it

[@dswaggins7791]

Fun to play with friends if you can find a quest that it will let you

[@YT-CesarB]

I preordered the first day it was made available. I’m just here to see what HE thinks.

[@lostinjakarta8331]

great review 👌, hopefully it'll bring more people playing this. pre-ordered this already but still hoping for a switch version.

[@stevebob240]

Great review! Could you please review Subnautica? It just came out of early access.

[@staticshock4239]

I hate that 3 great games are coming out so close together. This and Dragon Ball Fighterz come out on the same day and Dissidia Final Fantasy NT comes out a few days after those two.

[@karolisdervinis4236]

You can't know if they're great until they're out.

[@Yorosero]

Yeah, I fear Dissidia might get overlooked since MH and DB Fighterz seems to be getting all the hype.

[@mordecaigalidonus2863]

In my opinion its only MHW thats the good game... both DBFz and Dissidia are more shallow now then ever when compared to their past counterparts sadly.

[@AwokenGenius]

Another reason why I purchases MH on Xbox. Now my PS4 will be dedicated to Dissidia for a few months

[@justinstrecker17]

My gaming schedule will pretty much be: - Monster Hunter (Today) - Shadow of the Collosus (February) - Ni No Kuni (End of march) - God of War (April) Games like Red Dead Redemption or Code Vein do not have a release date yet but they deserve honorable mentions :D

[@miyuruify]

Hi Karak! can I play it offline singleplayer on PS4?

[@ACGreviews]

yup

[@ihatecabbage7270]

ACG really, can you confirm it's playable offline?

[@user-we9pt4xg4j]

I HATE CABBAGE Dude just shut up , he just said yes and fans Will tell you yes

[@ihatecabbage7270]

MIB yes, is this confirmed playable offline? I don't want to ended up unable to play while Internet down in my place.

[@ihatecabbage7270]

L oh yeah then my money is worth spend!

[@LiangHuBBB]

I got 3 questions: 1. Correct me, if Im wrong. But it's never a good choice to mount a monster with the hammer right? I can only deal 1 damage per hit because my hunter only strikes with his knife. 2. Why would anyone use the LBG over the HBG? Isn't the HBG like almost in every case the overall better weapon? 3. Also how do I increase my Hunter rank? Only with investigations? Thanks in advance.

[@Zooptopus27]

Not sure if you already figured it out, but it's always good to mount the monster in order to take it down for a bit. Then you can proceed to wail on it with your hammer. I'd imagine the LBG plays differently in terms of how fast or accurate it shoots when compared to the HBG. It's all about damage per second. You increase your rank by doing optional quests/investigations and slaying the monster or capturing the monster for that quest.

[@MandoMurphy]

Solid review, man! Love your content and I love to hear your thoughts on the latest games. Keep up the great work!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks!

[@misterdream761]

Yes, this is definitely, a BUY. I think what separates this game from others is the atmosphere of the game. That is also an important factor which separates it from other ARPGs.

[@wv11989]

been waiting for this been on the fence for awhile time to grab a cuppa an watch

[@ACGreviews]

appreciate it spread the word if you can

[@TheSdlawson]

You're the only creator that has even shown a death screen for this game, so i'm deciding to ask you the question I need answered before I decide on this game; is there any sense of danger? Dark Souls is love, Dark Souls is life. I actually hate it when I don't see any type of "game over" screen. In all of the videos and streams I have watched I have not seen any danger presented in any meaningful way, and the monsters all just seem like damage sponges to me. I am thoroughly interested in this game, but weapon skill caps, grinding, and time-to-kill mean nothing to me if the game isn't going to show me that these beasts are actually deadly, and will punish me for my mistakes.

[@Sparroeuw]

"Death" is both impermanent and underwhelming in Monster Hunter. I haven't had the chance to play MHW yet (getting it tomorrow hopefully), but from what I saw in the beta... They increased Carts (Faints) per Hunt to 9 from 3. The punishing feeling you get from fighting High Rank monsters will be greatly decreased unless you do armorless runs.

[@clouddude3455]

This is not dark souls. That being said punishment for deaths are monetary loss for quest completion and after too many you fail the quest for your party. Really monsters can be deadly in this game. the high rank and G rank monsters have always been especially deadly in MH (still low rank in MHW) if you do not know their patterns. Pattern recognition though will affect how often you die just like darksouls knowing that bosses major atks will make sure you don't die. Many of the people who streamed this before MHW all had been playing awhile so they know what monsters tend to do and how to avoid death if its your first time that isn't the case.

[@TheSdlawson]

Thanks for the replies guys, they helped out quite a bit!

[@Shenghwang21]

The kinsect is for insect glaive the most versatile weapon in game, a lot of mechanics to learn if you want to play it effectively. And there are some multi-player issues, like unable to go on expeditions with friends, and unable to go on stroy mission together, the work around is wait for your friend to finish the cut scene then join them. But over all great game!

[@Vladimir-hq1ne]

Karak, thank you for those videos you are bringing! Upvoted - like almost always. Thank you for your sincere reviews!

[@ACGreviews]

thank you

[@sleepingrabbit7455]

Allready pre-ordered (as much as I hate doing so) but damn have I been waiting for this review.

[@karolisdervinis4236]

Why preorder? Also cute profile pic. Where is that from?

[@user-we9pt4xg4j]

Sleeping Rabbit I hate pre ordering but I couldn't resist.

[@BobCoolguy]

I Pre ordered too! I just couldn't resist, even got my friends to pre order too

[@Eliiika]

Lol I was going to pre order too but I decided not to. Oh well..

[@weaverquest]

In my opinion there is nothing wrong with pre-ordering from devs that have been consistently delivering quality content. In fact, that would have ideally been the only positive affect of pre-orders; rewarding developers that have gained the trust of gamers so it would create an incentive for publishers like EA and Activision that drool over pre-orders to not disappoint their fanbase with every release.

[@hamstrungharry259]

I am going to eat my food like this from now on.

[@ACGreviews]

hahahahaha

[@TheBoomh]

Great review ACG! Your videos are the first thing I look forward to when deciding what games I may be interested in buying. Thanks!

[@ACGreviews]

thanks
