I think all gamers, especially using different platforms, will sympathise with your comments. I've been through several different peripheral combinations, and I know of people with CP and also quadriplegia, who play solely using eye movement. You just can't keep a serious gamer down. I've watched a few of your Monster Hunter: World streams, and while admiring the combat mechanics, there seemed to be no connection between the fights, so I wiki'd the game, and discovered there's a back-story, quests (heaven help us, the constant, as someone once said), and probably somewhere vaguely free of mobs. Any chance of a stream showing this side of the game quickly? Or pointing at someone who has covered this side well, if you don't want to repeat. I'm feeling vaguely interested but would like to know whether the other aspects are satisfying, and that it's sufficiently different to Ark.

Heya, Yeah sure I can do something like that. If you're unfamiliar with the series, Monster Hunter is generally just a basic storyline to tie progressively tougher quests (monster fights) together. There's a hub village where you can organise & craft gear and items, eat, pick up quests. In MHW you can do free exploration of the hunting zones too but most of the time you're either progressing the story to unlock stronger monsters (which will mean better gear) or you're hunting a specific monster for parts you need to craft something. For this series I just fight random monsters for fun so I generally don't need anything from them. The next time I get an opportunity to record I'll do a video to show what there is to do between hunts 👍 P.s. it's a fun game but it's pretty much all about the fighting part. I prefer solo because multiplayer is exceptionally easy, but MP is a lot of fun with friends.

@@TomScottDoesStuff I don't know it at all, and I'm looking for something to move on to, preferably MMO. The fights are interesting, but I wasn't getting any sense of connection, hence the wiki trip. You've added some personal comment which is helpful, so don't feel obliged to video the storyline/group elements unless others ask. Ppl probably view your videos for the fight strategy, as they do for other games, and I've discovered there are Beginners' Guides to the game. Some of which I can listen to. :)

No worries, and yeah for the most part Monster Hunter is quite far from something like an MMO. It _can_ be multiplayer up to 4 people total - and it is a lot of fun with friends, but playing it with random people on the internet is pretty meh and in general multiplayer makes the fights extremely easy. Like really really easy. For me it's a great single player game and while there is a little 'town' that you see me return to at the end of each quest, it's really just a hub where you can organise your items, eat, craft new gear and accept quests in. It's quite shallow in that regard. If you find a good MMO then let me know. I'm not really playing FF anymore. My wife & I picked up Elder Scrolls Online from the christmas sales but neither of us were that excited by it and it's quite unplayed in our steam libraries. It doesn't look like there's that much choice for staple MMOs at the moment :(
