Why I'm playing Monster Hunter: Rise over World

I ramble about Monster Hunter Rise and try to justify why I'm not playing World like everyone else right now.

World was my first MH game and it made me fall in love the series and community, it was my best gaming experience since Sonic games when I was little. But Rise's combat does it more for me, I have so many options and its really fast wich I love. I still come back to MH World every now and then because its just so immersive and sometimes it gives me nostalgia cause my life has changed so much since I got it for my birthday that it feels like a lifetime ago.

[@felismenari]

As a CB main, going from World to Rise is a bit of a disappointment, having to choose between what was a basic function (Condensed Element Slash), and the chainsaw added with Iceborne (Spinning Element Slash in Rise). And the SES in Rise *deactivates* if you sheathe your weapon. It only deactivates in World if you run out of phials, making for a more interesting and enjoyable gameplay experience.

I can understand the point of "not knowing where you are" in world, everyone does😂 but for me, after hours... I finally know where everything is. (except ancient forest ofc).

[@Crazycoyoteify]

As much as I love both World and Rise, I really want to go back to 4U and maybe play some Gen again. 4U is the game I started with almost 10 years ago and I honestly wouldn't mind playing through it again for the third time to gold crown. The thing that's rough though is the gameplay difference going backwards. Rise offers a lot of verticality and movement that I've gotten really used to from playing it a lot; world has the clutch claw and the slinger (I miss the slinger in Rise tbh); generations has the different hunting styles and being able to play as a palico (I just found it funny); and 4U introduces the mounting system along with insect glaive. Similarly with weapons we lose some things that are just fun to have going to previous games like the gunlance movesets that my friend enjoys a lot in Rise. If I had it, I definitely would play more 3U because the underwater combat system albeit difficult at first was just fun to have and I want to fight the Great Ceadus that my brother loves as one of his favorite monsters. All in all, I think it's just preferential on what monster hunter game to play and enjoy. They're all good.

U sound like its all just numbers and rise is just the better game. The better game makes numbers bro. I loves MHW and played the shit out of it. I was so happy when they announced MH Rise and instantly bought it. Played my fair share, but it didnt catch me. Not saying its a bad game, but it wasnt as good as MHW.

Great video! Personally, my view of it is this: World, as one of the mainline games, is made more to be an experience. Something you sit down and get immersed into. Rise, as one of the portable games, has a more arcade feel. It's streamlined for you to get into the action quicker, and that action is more over the top. Both have their merits and I find myself alternating between them.

The split between the mainline and portable teams doesn’t exist anymore btw. The two teams merged when they were creating MH Rise.

I have played every single game since Monster Hunter frontier back in the early PSP days. While I completely agree with your take on rise versus world personally, one of the things that series veterans will always tell you is that every installment is different, and each of them has its good and bad points. My fond hope is that the internet vitriol in this debate does not discourage the developers from continuing to take risks and try new things to evolve the series with each new release.

The beautiful thing about Monster Hunter is that there's a whole decade worth of games. Yes, Rise and World are the latest titles, but there's also the crazy hunting styles of GU, the water combat of 3(U), the amazing maps and story telling of 4U and so much more. There's so much to explore or revisit and each generation has its charme. I still go back to my original PSP save, that I have cared for well over ten years now. Play what you want and don't be afraid to go back in time and see what the older generations had to offer. They're masterworks all, you can't go wrong.

[@firetools]

Very bold(and based) of you to say you prefer Rise over World while everyone else is proudly saying they dropped Rise to go back. Honeslty for me I like both games equally, seems like I'm one of the few that can enjoy the fast paced arcade-y gameplay of Rise and the more immersive, grounded and weighty feel of World on even footing. I look forward to MH6, knowing that it might be closer to World in feel than Rise. So at this point it's just preference, and for me the biggest reason I prefer Rise over World is the monster roster. Rise has a far more diverse selection of monsters to hunt, I like its original cast of yokai and horror themed monsters more than World's originals, and it brought back old monsters I like that didnt make it to World, such as Miztsune, Astalos, the Magala family, Amatsu, and my favorite monster, Valstrax. Also can't forget the surprise inclusion of Espinas.

World was my first, and I thoroughly enjoyed my first and only play through and grind events prob had around 400 hours, but I could not imagine doing it all over again.

Combat is the real draw for me I'm enjoying it learning bow.

As an adult with lesser time to play but still wants to delve into this franchise, after researching, I find Rise to be the better option for me as it requires lesser grind commitment but still experience the MH experience.

[@itsagabe]

MHW doesn't require that much grinding, tbf. You can wear the same armor set up until late high rank, when it might be a good idea to switch to something with skills that better suit your weapon and playstyle. Some people keep the defender set equipped up until Iceborne, which is the point when you really need to get better gear. I went through all of the base game with little to no grinding and now that I'm in Iceborne, I still find that I don't need to scout for specific materials all that much thanks to a plethora of features that streamline the process (safaris, the Argosy, the plunderblade, melding, etc.). Playing with others can also make the quests go by in an instant, which is very easy to get into thanks to the SOS system. World might be slow and methodical, but that doesn't mean it's a slog 😆

[@luckysgi-5karrow378]

Newbie started with Rise here. I actually think all the menus were very intuitive somehow maybe it's due to massive experience of the devs from 2 decades of work. There was a ton of stuff to assault my eyes, but not much of it was overwhelming. Many things were simple to grasp at a glance and just needed a bit of time to learn. It felt like deja vu. Then again I really like hardcore games and am used to this stuff in other games I play. My friends who got me into MH tried getting me into World but after seeing some gameplay from newbie to pro, I just couldn't get into how slow it felt. Rise came out with much more mobility and definitely caught my attention. I can't get into exploring huge maps but not have much in the way of traversal skills. Rise is a plus with the traversal stuff being helpful in combat also, including the lovable palamutes. Plus (from friends) hearing the QoL of Rise over the older games is great. It really sounded like Pokemon (gee another monster game) syndrome where old games' tedium are improved to make way for newer things... And didn't make much sense to have them be as tedious as they were in a actuality.

[@elk3407]

The tedium of the older games was actually more like animal crossing. It was cozy and relaxing, juxtaposed with the fights which were punishing and strategic.... but also meditative I actually really don't like how fast Rise is because it's too much. I want my meditative experience back, where it felt like dancing. Rise is like Generations Ultimate, fun but in a sugar rush way. Too much rots your teeth and makes you feel sick.

[@gamewarrior9107]

you just summed it up. Rise is like brainrotted ADHD Monster Hunter.@@elk3407

[@tofuteh2348]

there is a fine line between 'removing tedium' and removing mechanics integral to the franchise. I'd say things like instant/ faster gathering is a clear example of removing tedium, but removing the gathering and hunt preparation aspect of the game is just removing core mechanics and watering the game down. and keep in mind Rise is not responsible for the vast majority of QOL changes from traditional MH to new MH, that was MHW. Rise just made the hunter more overpowered than they already were in World.

[@elk3407]

@tofuteh2348 I have to disagree on one point. Fast gathering WAS removing tedium with World. Rise took it a step too far, and now certain things like mining are EXTREAMLY unsatisfying. It legitimately feels worse even though technically it's less work. If they were gonna do what they did, they needed to change the animations for mining. Also, I disagree about removing prep. I've never properly prepared in any Monster Hunter title outside of endgame Frontier and 2nd generation. I legitimately didn't use mega potions in 3U until the end of G rank because I was too lazy to farm honey, and I didn't need them. Sure, maybe the lower end of average and below average player preps less in 5th gen... but genuinely, I think it was the right call to make it easier for the lower end of the skill range have an easier time with World introducing MH to a mass audience, while not affecting those of us on the higher end of the skill range since those elements had already been watered down by 3rd and 4th gen. Well, thats as long as MH Wilds does what I think its doing and brings back more of a gen 2 vibe with a focus on the preparation and hunting. I genuinely don't think that the World hunter was any more OP than 3U or 4U, and most of that vibe can simply be attributed to proper scaling.... which actually made anything more than duo harder than 3U and 4U, while making solo easier.

[@tofuteh2348]

@@elk3407 i think you misread- i said faster gathering removed tedium, or am i misunderstanding something? World hunter was OP to me because of just the abundance of stuff you had to deal with the monster. And dont get me wrong, its not bad on paper but I feel like it allowed newbies to just brute force their way through LR and HR and not needing to fully learn their weapon or the monster. Mantles essentially becoming free buffs like temporal just being a 'press square to get free dodges' button, in addition to already existing mechanics like toppling the monster by hitting the legs, mounting, flinching, add on new things like environmental traps that give you yet another free topple and then clutch claw giving you ANOTHER topple. Then you have the healing issue where you virtually never run out of potions or even use them on a quest because theres just so much other stuff that heals you on the map and your palico. On the very rare occassion that you do actually run out of potions you can just fly back to camp and infinitely restock your items like nobody's business, making gathering pointless. But most importantly, my issue with World is less about difficulty and more about how the game muddies the great combat of traditional MH (and then Rise tries to be a different game entirely) Ive been playing since FU and im still not as good at the game as other veterans, so even when 4U, GU and World came out the lowrank village quests were still challenging for me- but in World I realized I could just cheese my way through so many of the fights by not learning the monster. The only monster in the base game i can think of that forced me to learn a monster's moveset was nergigante

[@tcchip]

As a newcomer to the series, I started with World. I enjoyed World, but I jumped to Rise when I picked up a Switch. I faced the same issues you faced in World: confusing levels, and eventually it gets frustrating when you need to keep tracking and chasing down monsters. It's not terrible, but again, as a newcomer to the series it add another layer of challenge on a game that's never easy to begin with. Rise was a lot more accessible, and the improvement to mobility and combat was huge (and even more in Sunbreak). I've finished the base game and am just grinding MR levels to unlock the last few monster variants. I will go back to World and Generations Ultimate now that I've clocked in over 250 hours into Rise on PC and Switch, and the post-game challenges are starting to feel rather unfair and not fun (when getting up to Gaismagorm was a really nice balance between fun and challenge). I'm actually starting to feel competent fairly confident as a hunter, unlike in World where I always felt I barely scraped by. As a place to start the series, Rise was perfect.

[@DiamondMiner-zt3sg]

I have been thinking of picking up one of the games in the series as a little Christmas present for myself and I had a quick question regarding both games. If I decide to pick up a game should I pick up the game with the DLC or just the base game first? Rise is $30 with all dlc and World is $20. I will probably get both games eventually anyways but I would also be mostly if not entirely playing solo since I just find that more challenging and difficult. And lastly which of these 2 games are best for a beginner to get into? I put maybe half a dozen hours into the MH4U demo on the 3ds years ago but besides that I have not touched the series and am basically a complete beginner. With all this said I was just wanting your opinion with these factors in it. I did pick it up on gamepass for a little bit and played Rise a good amount on it but not enough to see the endgame or even to fully enjoy the combat as it was only for a week or so. Anyways thank you for taking your time to read this essay of a comment. I am just worried about getting into the series since it seems quite a bit daunting but I am super excited to see the series truly for the first time.

I too thought it was isnane how it seemed like everyone loved World and hated Rise for... Whatever reason, I've been seeing these videos appear since like a few months after base Rise got it's final update, and now I see them in the recommendations again Rise was my first (and the one where I have the Master Rank expansion), so maybe I'm a little biased but even after completing World, minus Behemoth full hunt, I still like it more I feel like this whole thing is kinda like the Baldurs Gate 3 vs Spiderman 2 thing rn, they're different games made for different audiences, or in MH case made with different things in mind. So its just a thing of playing what you enjoy more. Rise is my favourite, I like dogs, the sick wirebug attacks and the fast paced combat makes my Dead Cells addict brain really happy

[@gazz3867]

I don't hate one or the other but as a 100% noob to the series Rise looks like it's 5 years *older* than World. Like it came out decently successful with cheesier graphics and partial content present so you get to grind the same monster over and over to Get Bigger Number. (like in Diablo 4 or New World) Then some years later World would come out and offer the full experience with tracking, meaningful movement and a coherent well... world. That it's actually the other way around does not compute.

[@superduperkid3143]

I think the issue is with switch skills making the game much easier. Rise is so so so much more forgiving with the amount of mobility you have to correct your mistakes. World is so much more punishing and makes you put more thought into the actions you make because recovery from them is very hard if you mess up.

[@flamennight]

Fair point

[@strider7198]

Yeah, Rise is honestly just too easy with like you said on the forgiving mobility options, allowing safe healing and collecting yourself. Even placing traps is fast as hell. Rise is a perfect game for newcomers to the series, but too simple for experienced players

[@shirez1654]

See the "put more thought into your actions" doesn't quite apply when you basically approach the monster the same mind set in world. Find a open area, trap it, beat it to death. There's no actual skills like hunter arts or switch skills so you'll be doing the basic combat loop over and over. (This is coming from 120 hour world player) also having to time I frames isn't fun either, unlike MHGU which allowed you to do a perfect dodge on some weapons and hunter styles.

[@strider7198]

@@shirez1654 Doing the same basic loop combo tho is most of the mh series tho lol, tho I will say MHGU is a perfect combo of what world and rise try to accomplish. GU has variety in its move sets, yet the movement itself is still clunky, forcing you to still think about your positioning and when to push for the attack. It also has its hunter arts abilities that are strong but you have to work for them by attacking the monster and build up it's meter, instead of waiting for a cool down like for the mantles or wirebugs. Even then, the hunter arts themselves are clunky and lock you in place of the animation, again making you think when to actually use the ability and positioning. You can also only use a certain amount of arts depending on your fighting style, so it's not too OP or overwhelming with all those skills like rise does.

Nice perspective. I have to say I enjoy rise more than world myself as well. I totally get the strengths of each, but I find that I can get more hunts completed in the same time in rise over world. When trying to find a specific low drop rate part, I want to clear hunts fast. The first time I am encountering a monster or mission, it is fun to experience the build up and flow in it's entirety. On subsequent runs though I kinda just wanna get to the good stuff. Rise does a good job on the first run, but makes repeat runs much more streamlined.

Having played rise/sunbreak on both switch and ps5 and with a new understanding of the series and how weapons work and with a different mindset and expectations I'm going to give world another shot her soon, especially with a year+ wait until wilds.

[@solidghost4525]

I like your style. You got a good voice for this line of work. Enjoyed the video and your take on things. I know what you mean going from world to rise and trying to go back to world. I love world. Over 1000 hours. Then i jumped to rise. Put over 600 hours in it. Then decided I liked world more. Jumped back into my old character and felt like I had lost all my agility and knowledge. So I made a new character and started with a weapon I had never used before. (Gun lance) as i spent those over 1800 hours across both games only ever playing great sword. I fell in love with world again and now have a hard time going back to Rise. It’s pretty much two different games. Both are great, and defiantly hard to go back and forth. Just play the one you like the most or play both. Lol. I agree with what you are saying about the time it takes to really learn a weapon. All those hours in greatsword and I still am learning and improving all the time. To master a weapon you have to master a craft as you would a job. Hell it might take 10 years idk but it’s been a ride. Love the franchise either way. Dig the video. No hot takes here, just a good old fashioned opinion and justified unquestionably. The way it’s meant to be.

[@tahaelhour690]

bro actually decided to start a war, kinda based.

[@asianartist1]

he didn't start this shit dude... this began when rise was announced...

[@Lord_Slug]

I also felt like I was crazy every time I saw one of those videos. I also was introduced to the series via world, and I love world, but rise is the first game I actually completed (as much as one can complete a monster hunter game). I've fought every monster, crafted every set, even did the anomaly grind to the point where I can craft every deco. I went back and played most games in the series and I think GU is my favorite (despite the bloat, the individual hunts are the most fun to me) and to me rise feels like more of a continuation of that style of game than world. I've recently started playing world again on steamdeck and I do still enjoy it a lot but there's just an undescribable quality I don't get from it that I get from the older games and rise. I can understand if your only mh games are world and rise you would prefer world, but as someone who's a fan of the full series rise just scratches the itch better for me

[@Lord_Slug]

personally I hope for freedom unite, 3U and 4U ports. I have all of them on their original consoles but I find the 3ds and especially the psp controls leave a lot to be desired. And I think they're all such excellent games that making them more accessible to newer fans is a must

[@cvrlo_]

I feel this so much. I tried world 200 hours but man it's not hooking me. I'm an elemental enthusiasts and the fact that most end game builds are all raw when I am researching for builds, just makes it feel bad for me. I still finish hunts but it feels unrewarding to prep for a monster's weakness element and not get rewarded for it just coz raw is still better.

[@Phoenix8764]

​@@cvrlo_ as an ig and sns main I feel this.

[@sirmossman3600]

I just downloaded Rise for the first time and am eager to get into it, I played this series on the PS2 originally, I remember dying to friggin' aptonoth trying to attack with a joystick. I have 700 hours plus on World, and I just want to see where this series goes. I love all the new mechanics introduced in every iteration, and I wanna wirebug around lol.

[@FaeAvalon]

Im right there with you, my first game was MHW and I did that and Iceborne. But maaaan once i got to Rise, started zipping around and riding on a dog i couldnt go back the moment is just too good 😭

[@viktorxviii302]

i came here by accident while looking for settings for MHW for my Steamdeck (idk why KZbin thought this was the right video to help me) but i just wanted to say: Nice Video I dont get every point you make but i also agree with a lot of them. idk why i am even all writing this, i just wanted to say that i like the Video. It is just nice to see something that is not Rise or World is so much better and shit. This commend is long enough Nice Video

[@blainestevens6701]

I started with Gen U on the Switch and got pretty far in the beginning, but that’s been out for a minute. Rise is the first current MH I ran through with friends. It’ll always have a special place in my mind.

[@exmerion]

I understand the feeling, I played Lance in MHFU and MH4U but when I tried to go back to play lance on MHGU after playing rise and world, It felt like I was trying to ride a backwards bicycle.

[@shagadelic4210]

Hey bro I'm here in rise with you still 😅I'm so absolutely in love with it I can't play any other games anymore, and i was obsessed with GU

[@SlavioPabiani]

I'm not a series veteran, but had occasion to hunt a few monsters in MH Freedom Unite from PSP and my feeling is that MH Rise is more of a successor to that idea of a game than it is to MH World. I do like both games because in the end both are still Monster Hunter, but I'm currently playing World over Rise. Not necessarily because I like World more, but it's just where my friends are at the moment. And it's hard to be playing both titles alternately since they are both so similar yet so different at the same time.

[@tofuteh2348]

as someone who is a veteran i disagree. MHW has far more in common spiritually with the earlier generations than Rise. Freedom Unite had great emphasis on ecology, even to the point of making fully cinematic shorts for a lot of its monsters. The only thing I can say Rise has more similarities with it over World is the simpler graphics and a smaller hub. Everything else from the combat to the tone is VERY different from Freedom Unite.

[@cbarbs1730]

While I do prefer World over Rise, I respect anyone that thinks otherwise. Both games have incredible vibes and their own unique mechanics. I’ve put 1,800 hours into World/Iceborne and 1,200 into Rise/Sunbreak so I love both games, although they both have some major downsides, namely clutch claw in World and wyvern riding in Rise. World just does it for me though. First MH game I played with friends since starting with Tri. Anyway, good vid!

[@joshuaknox2724]

i just miss the size of the monsters in world and interactions they have with the environment, that alone is good reason to prefer world and the food looked SOOO GOOD! in world you just feel so very small in the colossal scale of world and its inhabitants i actually have both games on my hard drive :)

[@johnshawdocherty7594]

Thanks for this was just about to jump on world now I'll stick with rise for the holidays

[@SexxStar]

Thanks for not adding to the Rise hate

[@drikonrokon852]

I started with MHGU and eventually quit but went back due to rise helping me learn how to use better suited weapon for me and that's why I recommend it for beginners so they can get hooked

[@andrewlietz2798]

Id love it if someone with the skill could build mods for older MH, it would be cool to see new monsters in older styles.

[@TheIVSaken]

Agree, after playing sunbreak. The combat in world just seems less. Every weapon has less moves.. less combos.. less difficulty. But I do miss the maps and actually investigating monsters before a hunt. Hoping wilds combines the two.

[@zosonte129]

The combat in Risebreak is the best it's ever been. People can enjoy the slower combat of World and the other games, but the switch skills in particular just give the combat so much depth and risk/reward. Learning a weapon is like learning a character action game now, and I hope they keep going with this philosophy. I can't go back (I've tried several times) and I don't mind. Also Fiorayne

[@PsychoSpiral]

what i like about Rise/SB is the comabt too. It made me try out various weapons and feels a bit more fun to do. The smaller maps does help in not getting lost but it does feel constraining at times. MHW is i feel the gathering/hunting has more "weight" to it. But if MH6 comes out, I wonder if they'll combine both good features of each game (both were made by two different teams).

[@joehanson4072]

Excellent video!

[@veilofmemory]

As a bow main (yay bow users!) my ONLY complaint is that I can't fire arrows from the back of my Palamute. I like being able to go nyoom on my large doggo and I want to be able to do long range combat from their back.

[@InnerHacking]

Just the video I was looking for to know which one to play for the first time. Rise it is. Thanks

[@xerxesdiaries545]

I stopped playing MH Rise, but because of your video I am encouraged to play again. Thank you!

[@cybercyrus6402]

Great video, while i basically disagreed with everything outside of give is dogs/a dog equivalent in every game and switch skills (only if they at least do a bit of balancing to remove straight upgrades) i'm glad you didn't just push these opinions as truth and mentioned how for ever point you like there is a counterpoint and group of players who don't like it. Was shocked when i saw 3 subscribers lol. Hopefully this vid gets a lot of attention cuz you deserve it man.

[@reddragoner1932]

I love both. I think the edges on both swords even each other out making one not better or worse than the other. In World I could dive in and explore the area and watch the fauna‘s behaviour in its habitat. Rise felt more arcade and focused on combat with lots of ways for player expression. With two Monster Hunters with different (and almost maxed out) specializations I wonder what Wilds will introduce next and most importantly „learned“ from its predecessors.

[@streetvybzswag1.067]

As long time Warframe player the term "Discussion paralysis" hits so close to home

[@joshuaknox2724]

what's sad is capcom betrayed their own game, this whole "return to world" thing really diminished any chance of rise getting a lucky resurgence, which is unfair as sunbreak is the latest in the series and deserved the attention over world as that's had its run.

[@sleeplesstortoise]

And here i am still playing MHGU over Rise and World.. i have both rise and world..

[@Felwinter999]

Meanwhile there is me who never really got into these games as a kid and is running both on my pc switching between lmao

[@praxisvoiceworks]

Started with World even though I dabbled with 4 back on the Wii U. After pouring over 800 hours into it and then subsequently playing Rise on Switch and then Series X I will say my favorite overall experience is to this day World which I still jump into to answer SOS calls occasionally. But I would very much appreciate it if Capcom were to develop a MHW Ultimate Remaster infusing many of the amazing performance-related features they added to get Rise running so incredibly well on PC and consoles! Don't know if that dream will come to fruition, but it would be fantastic. Also looking forward to Wilds! Cheers!!

[@SeCcUzInGame]

Im a MH veteran from MHFU, and also played world and the things i miss the most is the challenge in gathering, hunting that the game used to have before all the QoL changes, they sure makes the game a lot more comfy but takes away a lot of the accoplishment of making progress into the game, i didnt played rise for the only reason that the game style shifted into destroying monster rather then hunting them, by saying this i mean there is a lot of mechanics that makes the hunter very agile but doesnt match the challenge of the monsters, sure in the endgame there might be some challenge but the slow peace that MHFU was more appealing because you had to grind a bit each time the difficulty increased to match the armor to the monster difficulty and from what i felt from MHW and from what i could tell, all the latest MH is that the time you need to build an armorset or weapon is not rewarding as it was in the older generations, mainly because there wasnt so munch affordable mistakes like now, no infinite potions, no drinking while moving, sharpness was a struggle but it felt like a human trying to fight a monster and not a DMC style action game, but i mean these are just taste tho i wish they could remake MHFU remastered with the graphics of world and i could play it for ever i swear.

[@arapaimagold8088]

Dial further back to OG MH, and you will understand that Kaname literally reimagined his first game with Worldborne. And also, anyone can choose by the own will to stop walking while drinking potion. Its on the players and not the game.

[@pucci405]

Play monster hunter 4 ultimate!

[@fredv7349]

I definitely agree, my last MH game was 4U and then rise, currently trying world. And there's so much comfort that takes away from the game. I know devs wanted to make the game more appealing to newcomers but at what cost?

[@SeCcUzInGame]

@@arapaimagold8088 I mean i wont be consistant as having an animation going on like old MH its not really the same, maybe if there was an option to disable it, that would be great but otherwise how am i supposted to have fun when i have to force myself to do this? like saying everytime u drink a potion stand still for 2.5 seconds then u might roll? or every 5 time is use the whetstone i must walk back to the acampment to simulate myself picking it from the chest? sry but that just RPing lol there is no real reason to do that, you can play the way u want but if MH teached me when i played it for the first time is to be efficient and i cannot force myself to do otherwise, if the game gives me the chance to make the most out of it i'll do , if it gives me nothing i'l try something else, give me back my tigrex at the starter mission to scare the fk out of novice hunters.

[@SeCcUzInGame]

@@fredv7349 the dev should just make a simple story with some weak monster and call it an end, then make the whole endgame full of challenges and make people think is optional stuff so they wont bother as munch as they already "finished" the game, everyone is happy and capcom gets the big cash

[@timdaferretmailman7297]

I'm personally a MHR fan. I tried World, and it was definitely fun, but I didn't like how long hunts took - especially later on. I really don't like the clutch claw, if I'm being completely honest. It's frustrating to get the hang of, and absolutely mandatory for G rank. As for Rise, it was my very first Monster Hunter game, and the first game I managed to conquer. I have my best sets made and I have most monster patterns memorized. I feel very accomplished and strong in Rise. Sure, I can develop that same thing in World, but I suppose the pacing is... Not a great match? Again, I hate clutch claw. As of now, Rise is my favorite of the two.

[@shiroemon4290]

Rise/Sunbreak was my 1st MH, and it's a phenomenal game. But like all games it ran out of content so I stopped playing. Been getting into World now and it's really good too, both game have pros and cons and I'm loving both. But since I'm a gameplay simp, I'm just gonna say that I like Rise better, also fashion options in Rise is way better tbh.

[@Elite4all]

Hi im new player of MHR...what is the easy weapon for new players?

[@lubbo5261]

It depends on your playstyle, i'd recommend you to try out all the different weapons and to use the one you find yourself having the most fun with.

[@seanbingham6923]

I imagine that wirebugs will be taken out in wilds and we'll get that slower more methodical approach to traversal and combat again. Being a Mainline, numbered entry that isn't meant for a portable experience usually comes with that more grounded approach to the game. With the portable entries generally being more exerimental. This isn't a hard rule, but is the usual approach.

[@blazing-wolf2331]

I don't really care who enjoys what monster hunter game. The issue starts when some players of world dislike the next monster hunter title because it's not monster hunter world with a new coat of paint and that's one of the reason's rise gets shit on allot

[@ENZEED]

i prefer sunbreak over worldborne too. i mean, world is amazing esp. the kulve taroth thing they did.. but damn. its a struggle to find a monster for me even with the fun scoutfly mechanic. i hate traversing a 3 layer map chasing a rathalos in a forest full of vines in your face. but i still love world because they made single player scaling possible

[@reggieking1045]

When they flee just open the map and watch where they go then fast travel to the nearest camp.

[@ENZEED]

@@reggieking1045 i know.. it just frequently flies away at the ancient forest map. I dont have trouble chasing a rathalos in a different map tho

[@reggieking1045]

Oh right. Well you can stop rathalos fleeing and force him to keep fighting by hitting him with a slinger bomb. Works on other fleeing monsters aswell. Or for fleeing flyers use a flash to bring them down when they try to fly away.@@ENZEED

[@ENZEED]

@@reggieking1045 oohh thats right i remember one of the best things in world is you can equip a slinger ammo without it taking up space in the y button

[@flamennight]

Rise by a country mile. Online play with your friends is way more streamlined

[@iTzLagz1995]

Recently went back to playing both World and Rise, but world was 1st since it is the "better" game since was made for all platforms at launch n not just the Switch like rise, and i had the bright idea to hop straight into the Fatalis fight solo. Bad idea, then went to rise and did the Song of Silver and Gold event quest and it was still challenging as i was relearning my muscle memory but it was more fun to me in the aspect of i like the faster paced playstlye it has a bit better. Both games are a W in their own rights, just each draw their own niché playerbase because of that, and i do see it causing division in the community, but like you said at the end of ur vid, at the end of the day, its still Monster Hunter. Thats good enough for me ❤

[@floatingcowinvasion]

yea I came back to play rise a second time, and i have beat my first magnamalo and I still haven't even died yet. As a souls player it feels weird to win every time

I played world back on ps4. And i was now torn between buying sumbreak or getting world again on xbox. I got sunbreak, i love the wirebug and now that i jave strongarm stance, there is juat no way to go back to world. Aftwr I'm done with sunbreak and wilds is atill not out ill revisit world

[@maxbailey639]

For me I played the older games back on DS and got back into the series with World. The atmosphere was absolutely incredible and it was such a challenge (solo bow user). I have just completed base game rise and have instantly bought sunbreak. The combat feels like nothing before and it is a lot faster paced. In my opinion both games are incredible and I could very well play either or (I will be going back to World once I’ve completed sunbreak)

[@KingOfMalevolence]

I just like the damage number font in World a lot more than in Rise, looks much cleaner IMO

[@shoopydoopy6062]

Rise’s super endgame fatigue was definitely getting to me. As much as I love everything about sunbreak and squeezing out every drop of potential into each build, if I have to do another goddamn anomaly quest anytime soon, I’m going to lose my goddamn mind. But going back to world, with a new save, 2 brand new hunters and a friend new to iceborne I gotta say it’s a blast when we aren’t waiting to finish watching cutscenes.

[@ofnir123]

I started my MH journey playing a fan translation of Portable 3rd, then 3u, 4u, G, World and Iceborne, GU and then Rise. Going through Rise again on PC this time, trying to get to the Sunbreak stuff. The only game in all of that I wouldn't do again is Portable 3rd. I love them all, and they're all different enough to warrant being different games and not just DLC. I'd day 4u's my favorite so far, but Iceborne is SO close it's ridiculous. Can't wait to get to Sunbreak to finally experience all that new stuff

[@danielmario7138]

i feel the same, i cant go back to world anymore not having switch skills and the clutch claw instead feels bad however gu its still a blast, the styles and the arts are awesome and dont get old. im worried that in the mw wilds trailer the hunter its wearing a slinger i hoppe it will be only usable with the weapon sheated so u have L2 avalible in combat for the cool moves.

[@aras5334]

I mean it comes down to the feel of it, world just has a more universal feel than rise does, for whatever reason that may be, it is what it is

[@CWJester]

I love them all however, I like how Rise feels like World I'm regards to QoL stuff, but the weapons look different. My only gripe with World was the similarity in all the weapons and I missed the sometimes abstract designs in prior entries. Hoping that's something to be addressed well in the new title coming in 2025

[@wichiewamirez5599]

I bought world on PC and am playing through to Fatalis since I’ve never beaten him when I played on the ps4. While I’m excited to conquer Fatalis, I do feel myself itching to get back into rise. Never fought primordial malzeno so that could be a goal for me as I learn a new weapon or something

[@CrazyGamerMike]

I do like a lot of the stuff in rise (other than the buff birds) but one thing I never see people bring up about rise over world is one very small change that makes a huge difference in how the game feels. the movement is tighter in rise. start running in a straight line in both games, then start swerving left and right, you make the turns noticeably sharper in rise, without it feeling like you're pivoting unrealistically. I hope in the next game they replace the string bugs (or whatever they were called) with an actual tool that does most of the same stuff, I like what they did mechanically but I'm not a fan of them thematically. and as a sword and shield main, it just feels so damn good in rise.

[@JoelHernandez-tz3vk]

Feel free to call me an old timer since I grew up with MHFU I'd personally could do without neither the crutch claw nor the wirebugs. I got used to both but never... Enjoyed them. I did however enjoy the attempts to make a more proper difficulty curve rather than making the game too hard from the very beginning, as well as meal effects that vanish on carting no longer being a thing on RIse (the rewards decrease always made sense to me but never the meal effect vanishing unless you had some variation of Foodie). Being able to change/restock mid-quest is something I also have no problem with (I wonder if this is my hottest take on all of this). I also wish I could go back to MHFU's lack of appraisable items, so literally every piece of equipment and decorations were crafted from materials rather than appraised. This basically meant there's ALMOST zero blaming on luck (the luck part just being the materials) for not being ready enough for a quest. I also like that for Rise isn't as black & white for its endgame equipment as World... Or more specifically Sunbreak vs Iceborne. I'm sure other MH games had this problem but it seems that none were as severe as Iceborne. I think in a way, the whole being able to use but never feeling right at home with them when it comes to crutch claw, wirebugs and hunter arts. Sounds similar to The Huntsman, now that I think of it. In fact when I went back from Rise to World I adjusted to the lack of wirebugs INSTANTLY. The slinger and crutch claw did take a lot to readjust to in constrast.

[@Mirawaru]

​@@JoelHernandez-tz3vk I *Definetly* agree on the account items part omigosh I tought no one ever agreed with me on that. Especially with how much more detailed and fun to explore the newer maps are, it is a shame that the way the game is structured actively discourages you from doing that. Gathering is underrated!

[@baileejohnson9968]

I find it funny how I recent got my cousin and his friend into worldborn and risebreak and the reason was because I randomly decided to ask if they wanted to play it with me and they enjoy the game a lot

[@mukulkataria9128]

I had over 300hours on mhw. I started with great swords. Until I reached higher rank and i was still newbie because i had no idea what to do. All monster were carting me then i quit and some months later i tried again but this time i changed the weapon to longsword and loved it especially the counter and helm breaker. I was looking for older monster hunter to play but their lack of longsword moves keeping me away. And I only wanted to play rise mainly because of their new longsword moves and also new monsters. Back then I had no idea what is build or what should i focus on in monster hunter World as it was my first mh game. Then i made myself a critical build and i finished the campaign.

[@Braunschweiger89]

i'm brand new to the MH games. Recently purchased iceborne DLC and then rise and sunbreak. I have a PS4, PS5, and top tier PC. I bought every one of these on Playstation... one thing that always stopped me from playing MH:World though is just how bad the graphics are. It's so blurry. I have excellent eyesight and it hurts my eyes. I even changed the graphics mode to prioritize resolution. Didn't really help. I DO prefer gameplay over visuals... and Im certain the game is incredible...but it hurts my eyes. Should I just break down and buy MH world on PC so that I can download this so-called texture pack? Or does anyone know of something I dont to make this better? PS: To avoid the "maybe it's your monitor" suggestions, I have a color corrected Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 32" Curved 4k 240hz monitor. Its about as good as you can get. And Im running HDMI 2.1.

[@daniyalnazir6920]

i started with rise and played it a litter bit but switched to world i thought why not play world first and then go to rise, and right now i really want to play rise but i havent finished it, in my opinion if you ask me which isbetter ill say both because the first this we have to take into considration is that world and rise were developed by 2 different teams and id say some things are better in rise and some things are better in world i really like the monsters in world id say monsters are one big part of mh world but on the other hand i love the combat of rise its just that you get alot of options with every weapon and also rise colors are vibrant and world colors are bit plane but for me its rise but that doesnt mean i hate world its an amazing game in an of it self but i prefer rise over world and thats just my opinion and i respect how likes world more no hard fellings

My one gripe is it was on switch and I don't feel like starting over.

[@toxicdreamzz7259]

Back in 2019 i tried playing world but after 10 hours didn’t get immersed due to overwhelming maps, boring cutscenes, and solo player xD. Never touched it again fast forward to 2021 i convince my friend some how to try rise with me. We both put 300 hours. It was just so fun and ez to get into. Now that it hooked me on to the series and world is popping again i’m making sure to complete world and start iceborne !!!

[@TheDarkbogiTV]

Great video, I came to World a few month before Rise released from freedom 1 and 2, cuz frick them for releasing all the other monster hunters on nintendo hardware and to me I like both the games equally. World offers what I already know from MonHun, grounded combat, straight forward weapons even tho they got some new moves and there are a lot of new weapons to me. Honestly think the Charge Blade and Switch Axe are the coolest things I have ever seen in monhun. To then a few month later get into Rise and commit to playing it for a few hundred hours. At first Rise was very weird to me, especially as a hammer main having your damage on brutal helmbreaker, I swapped a lot of weapons and trying to the used to the wire bugs stuff. The game is very very overloaded with in combat systems which put me off at first so after around 60 hours I quit basegame and came back to sunbreak which actually made me enjoy the game again and thats when I started to actually liking it in its own way of being a super overloaded power fantasy of a monhun instead of a grounded mon hun like world. Both are amazing games in their own way, everytime I play world I don't miss the palamute or the wirebugs and everytime I play Rise I don't miss the simplicity of combat and how grounded it is of world. It's just like how I still enjoy freedom 1 and 2 in their own way even if they are hella clunky.
