    I have almost a 1000 hours in this game.
    The different monsters are fun to fight against.
    Every single one has their own gimmick.
    Gearing was a lot of fun.
    Overall just a very fun experience.

Die Atmosphäre ist einfach perfekt. Das Einzige was mich genervt hat waren Experten, die bei Kulve dauernd sterben, obwohl die Quest ohne Monitor gespielt werden kann und das Event an sich, da es echt langweilig war und extremes Glück notwendig war. 16 Spieler gegen ein Monster, sollte gleichzeitig stattfinden und nicht als Fortschrittsbalken in verschiedenen Instanzen ablaufen, das war echt öde. Die Rüstung war dafür umso besser, das Mega Man Event und Devil May Cry Event mit den jeweiligen Soundtracks - top! 9 von 10 Punkten. Ich fände es cool, wenn mehr Monster dazu kommen würden, einfach als optionale Quests in allen Rängen von 1er bis 9er Missionen, in MH3 soll es wohl sehr viel mehr Monster gegeben haben. Aber dennoch einfach nur zu empfehlen.    … Expand

    Great game, and I got with +250hrs in it. Sad they made the last monsters impossible to beat without a really really good team. You cannot beat them with randoms. Despite that it was really fun.

    Main issue is how we upgrade our character and get improved gear. It's a job/chore more than anything else especially end game farming hunting Tempered monsters and gemstones for weapon augmentations which is unlocked after finishing the main campaign. Everything is extremely dependent on RnG on what monster parts or stones you might get and also you have to go on expedetions seperately to find these temp.monsters (even more chore). After 180hrs+ I didn't care anymore and it was extremely lazy postgame.
    Player should be able to set the materials they want from monsters and get among those only instead of RnG garbage or make the hunts shorter by minimizing the health of the monster by 80% so that farming isn't a chore . In dark souls also we farm mobs and knights not bosses. Bosses have a set guaranteed loot but in MHW it feels like we farm bosses. Other examples do exist.
    Augmentation should have been unlocked as soon as we unlocked high rank. And temp. monsters and arch temp. monsters shouldn't be a thing it's just lazy CAPCOM    … Expand

    Weapons have a deep learning curve and you will not be able to perry or dodge like crazy. The idea behind Monster Hunter is that as a hunter, you are very vulnerable and the enormous monster in front of you is way stronger than you in every way. So, you can't just press buttons randomly and hope for the best. Getting used to monster hunting takes fairly a long time and you will not master the combat in a couple of hours, that's for sure.

    A decent version of a really good game.

    As a PC user that didn’t have a PS2 back in the days, I never played any of the console exclusive Monster Hunter titles, I knew them, saw them, even other people I knew back them, talking about them and playing them, but never did so myself. So when it comes to actual first hand impressions, World was my first MH game, so no bias here of any    A decent version of a really good game.

    As a PC user that didn’t have a PS2 back in the days, I never played any of the console exclusive Monster Hunter titles, I knew them, saw them, even other people I knew back them, talking about them and playing them, but never did so myself.

    So when it comes to actual first hand impressions, World was my first MH game, so no bias here of any sort, really. I think this game is really enjoyable, gameplay wise, it’s not just “button mashy” at all, combat is quite methodical, if you don’t want to get hit every time a monster attacks, and probably it is what I like about the combat, the most. I mean, I would probably enjoy it too if this had…Devil May Cry style combat, but that’s not the point, it just fits the game as it is.

    I played this game when it was released, went through a few rough patches here and there (mostly a known driver issue on Nvidia GPUs, back in the day, resolved in a couple weeks), and here we are today.

    To this day, still surprises me that this game uses the MT Framework engine, not because it is really old, but because how well holds up still to this day, and how good the game can look , especially in cutscenes (and more so in the Iceborne expansion), some scenes have really nice detail.

    I have played this game on different PCs over the years: first on my old intel i5 4690K with a GTX 1070, it was fine at 1080p and a moderate amount of High settings mixed with some stuff tuned down a bit, CPU usage was a bit rough at launch though, but it improved a lot later on.

    Currently, I play on a Ryzen 5 3600 and a RTX 3060 Ti, and of course it runs much better but, this game is still quite demanding both on the CPU and GPU. At Max Settings, this game barely does 40 FPS at 4K on this GPU, without DLSS. It is a shame though that it’s still DLSS 1.9 I believe, and not the newer and much better looking and performing DLSS 2.X, and I do hope one day Capcom make the switch to that one, to this day most games that initially supported the older DLSS have switched to the improved one. This would also allow DLSS to be used at 1080p or any other arbitrary resolutions, because at the moment, being the older DLSS tech, can only be enabled for 1440p and 4K.

    When it comes to Controls and Keybinds, I think Capcom did a decent job overall for this port, there’s a small amount of keys that cannot be bound , like DEL for instance, but for the most part, I can bind most of my usual keys (I’m left handed, btw). I can play this game with no particular issues with Keyboard and Mouse and it is, in fact, my preferred control method for this game. The ability to use shortcuts for items with keys is quite useful and less cumbersome than using the stick on the gamepad on a radial menu, but that’s my personal preference really.

    All in all, I think it’s no surprise this game has sold so many copies across all the systems it released, of course many “older fans” of the series may not have all they wanted from MH condensed in this single title, but for a wider audience it seems this game hit the right spots in many ways.

    I can only imagine how much better (and performing) an RE Engine MH game with the budget of World would be in the future. MH Rise is coming in 2022 to PC, but that one is a “scaled down” game, technically, to accommodate for the Switch hardware, but my point is that Capcom took MT Framework (which they know pretty well, they’ve been using it since forever) and made this huge game here, so when they finally make the jump to RE Engine on the next mainline entry, it could be something interesting.

    My only issues with the game though, is that it often loses the online connectivity when minimizing the game, it’s been a bug since the game launched, and still happens, probably doesn’t like to be “inactive” for a split second when it minimizes, or something.

    Another issue is that the game’s lighting is quite often very “bloomy”, to exaggerated levels even, it looks nice at night but at day time…sometimes certain surfaces and the sky can look very over exposed and with too much bloom. I also heard the game had lots of issues with HDR, especially when it launched, not sure how that works nowadays, since I don’t use HDR myself.

    Overall, this would be a game I would’ve spent like 5k hours already, if I didn’t play any other games, because there’s a lot to do, and different weapons to master, if you do enjoy following that route. Having “only” played a few hundreds of hours, I can still say they were well spent, and I don’t get tired of coming back to the game, now and then.    … Expand

Hunt a    Bought on steam sale to see what all the hype was about. Like most ports from PlayStation it was fairly terrible by PC standards and is geared heavily towards younger console crowd purposely.

    Overall
    The gameplay is what I would call "epic loot drop grinder"; most of the gameplay and story seems to revolve around grinding loot with the same basic mission over and over again. Hunt a monster, use its parts to make gear, and then hunt a larger monster. Wash and repeat 400x times.

    Has a bubbly almost anime feel to game; little too Saturday morning cartoon feeling at times.

    Controls:
    Holy clunky! Laggy and just awful feeling. Monsters are sllllooooowww and simple to dodge. Just not optimized at all. Pales in comparison to games like Witcher or destiny with the very connected feel you have to character movement and fast paced action. I see what the game is trying to push; you learn the simple patterns each monster has and then weapon set you are using. Maximize the damage output. This takes 5-10mins to master for most that are use to exploiting patterns (any DS players will laugh at the simplicity of it).

    Missions:
    Wash and repeat same mission with different baddies. Small adds for 10mins or so; then large "epic" for 15-20mins. By the end of combat I was mindlessly bored out of my mind.

    Story:
    Seems meh at best; something something new world, build a camp, hamorny with monsters, etc..

    Crafting:
    Rich and complex; if this is your thing; this is your game.

    Conclusion:
    Appeals greatly to anyone who loves "complex loot and crafting, farming with fairly quick and regimented combat cycle". Combat styles galore with a focus on anticipation and learning patterns.

    Expect to invest "hours upon hours to many days" to enjoy; not for people with limited time (which is probably part of the appeal).    … Expand

    Grinding is not boring due to hard fights and a lot of weapons which needs TONS of hours to master.

    real game starts after 200hours! then you realized you have stuff to do for a next 2000h !

The next area is beautiful, the coral area is very visually stunning, but actually getting around in it is annoying, just a bunch of loops, and by that time the MMO style has gotten to you. By this time I was getting mad that my weapon was better than even other ones I was upgrading a lot, and it turns out it's a special sword given to new players, along with your armor, that completely ruins the progression of leveling up your gear that the entire game is built on, who made this mind numbing decision really **** up! Seriously, if you can borrow a copy from a friend, play through the initial jungle area, it's level design feels next-gen, just not any other part of the game… Expand

    The story, combat, and gameplay are boring/unenjoyable. Too many items to sift through. Upgrade & shop system is boring, too extensive, and introduced too early. Way too many uninteresting stat/item stuff you have to sift and read through. Total waste of time. NPC's don't even talk much of the time, you have to read the text.

    My first impression while playing it on PS4 was: the game is good. Loading times are terrible. Something is just not quite there yet.

    There are some differences to make it easier for newcomers, and they were so well thought that the the essence of Monster Hunter is still very much there, without scaring away unexperienced players.

    Mastering the game rewards the player as much as it did on previous games, and is just not for anyone. Still, there are loads of content and hours of fun without the need to master it, just by playing with online with randoms, playing with your friends, being a fashion hunter, trying to learn new weapons, playstyles and combos, and so much more.

    What could be better? Weapon designs were a little uninspired at first, but Iceborne fixed that. Multiplayer is weird. Weird decisions, clunky menus.

    Also, as someone who started playing when the ball was already rolling, there is just so much content, so many event quests, so many unlockables, I am having a hard time trying to catch up. But I guess that's a good thing, right? More bang for your buck.

The combat system is probably the worst experience I've ever had, it's so clunky and every single time you miss it takes like 5 seconds to hit the monster again (and this is with a semi-fast weapon). The monsters are so mobile and the character just seems like a sloth in comparison making for an irritating experience. Also every single monster is different but it doesn't feel like it. The attacks are almost all the same (except for one elemental thing that the monster barely uses) and the way the monsters react are the same: you hit it a ton, it runs away and rinse and repeat until it's dead (except for the rare boss monster encounters).

    Also you know that fun weapon and gear grinding! Yeah, it's pretty much useless because the game gives you the most OP gear to begin with (except for the weapons which are still decent) and it will take forever to find gear/weapons that are better than the ones you start out with.

    And possibly the worst thing of all is the fact that the game barely lets you explore the open world that the game has to offer and even if we were able to the linearity of the world and clunkines of the movement and combat in game makes it more like an annoying obstacle you want to get over with and just find the monster you need to fight (and do it all over again when you die). There's such a beautiful open world and the game doesn't take advantage of it. Why can't we just explore the world and find monsters and hunt them along the way instead of being so limited.

    Luckily the graphics are gorgeous and the story is great so I will give it a 5/10 (which is still kind of bad). It was just not what I was expecting and after coming from breath of the wild on the switch with amazing fluid combat, a beautiful open world taken advantage of and amazing graphics. I don't think this game should be exactly like breath of the wild, I just wish it had fluid combat and an open world taken advantage of like breath of the wild. Just don't buy until they fix these issues.    … Expand

    New to the series. Picked the game up late (early 2020) so I haven't got any technical issues. 200+ hours of gameplay.

    Decided not to buy Iceborne. Before the 'end-game', the only thing an average player does is grinding with little skills. Why so little skills? Because this game is gear dependent. After the player get good enough defense, he/she can simply move to harder monsters.    New to the series.

    Before the 'end-game', the only thing an average player does is grinding with little skills. Why so little skills? Because this game is gear dependent. After the player get good enough defense, he/she can simply move to harder monsters.

    Until some point, grinding becomes every difficult. For instance, to get a Research Commission Ticket, the player has to either complete every single optional quest of the game, or to reach hunter rank 100. Both of which are a long and tedious way. Before this moment the player are blocked from certain end game gear, which means he/she is much less efficient at hunting, in other words, underpowered. At this point, the game is harder than you expect than what we see the streamers do. The only thing the player can do is to improve the skills, or remember the monster patterns, so that eventually the player can be a master of the game.

    I abandoned the game at roughly this situation and I just don't like it. I spent already 200 hours but just barely touched part of the game that encourage skills. What now? The game is not fresh anymore, more like a job for me. 200 hours is 5 working weeks, which is a lot. I don't see why the game force me to grind 200 hours to reach this point.    … Expand

    The game is just OK. I don't have any other connections to the Monster Hunter Series (this is my first Monster Hunter Game), so this should be a very objective view on the game.

    Graphics: This game looks fantastic! The people designing it did a really nice job with making the world feel realistic. Everything in this game just looks so detailed and beautiful!

    Gameplay: Gameplay wise the controls are just OK. I'm not sure if this is a recurring thing happening in the monster hunter series but the controls definetly felt clunky. It didn't feel very smooth. I also found that there wasn't any way to cancel a move after you made it. If you were using long sword and did an overhead slash infront of you there was no way to stop yourself from completing the action. Even worse if you press the button multiple times the character will proceed to do the action multiple times. However these were minor issues and could be easily overlooked.

    What really killed it for me was the terrible Palico AI and the annoying effects monster can place on you (stunned, poison, sleep). Here is an example of what can happen: You get stunned by a monster and you are on half health. Naturally you are immobile for a certain period of time. However! The monster is able to also posion or burn you causing you to lose health while immobile, plus the monster can knock you around while you are stunned giving you no way to dodge or avoid the attacks leading to fainting, Cases like being pushed against the wall with no where to go and being killed has happened to me WAY TOO often for me to be able to overlook this as an one time occurance. Also the Palico (cats/helper in combat in the game) is never able to deliever a vigorwasp (health potion) to me properly. When I find myself in need of one it always says that its too busy or whatever when it clearly doing nothing.

    Also monsters are way too overpowered! Tons of monsters out there are able to kill you in one or two hits. The beginner area should have easier to kill monsters, not an Anjanath that can one shot you using a flame thrower move.

    I recognize the fact that it could be just me who is bad at this game and more experienced players would be able to get out of these situations, but you have to keep in mind that for many people this is their first entry into the monster hunter series. Being a begginer at a game shouldn't impact the enjoyment of it.

    All of this combined with the fact that you can't actually remap controls on controller just made this game unenjoyable. However I won't be returning it as it still a decent game. It will probably become a game that I revisit like once every two weeks or so, definetly not one I would play everyday.    … Expand

    I got excited when it launched, because I have vague memories about the 2004 ps2 hit and they stuck to some visuals.
    All in all there is not much to do except grinding. Plus I did not like the slow combat movements, which i guess is a personal taste. For the high price they launched poor content.

    Monster Hunter: World is my first real foray into the franchise after poking at demos for the older 3DS games prior. I'm sure I'm not the only one with that background, but I can say that World on the whole feels like an attempt to get more people into the series.

This is not in of itself a bad thing, but as a lore-hound I might have    Monster Hunter: World is my first real foray into the franchise after poking at demos for the older 3DS games prior. I'm sure I'm not the only one with that background, but I can say that World on the whole feels like an attempt to get more people into the series.

    MHW's premise is rather thin for a game of its scale. This is not in of itself a bad thing, but as a lore-hound I might have appreciated a little more fluff.

    Mechanically speaking however the game is significantly more complex, with more keyboard binds, at least as far as I can remember, then any game I have played in the past 15 years, with the possible exception of Sins of a Solar Empire: a 4X space strategy game. That MHW is an action game with this many binds is impressive, if at times kind of annoying. I would also regard it as strangely akin to Axiom Verge in that having tried both mouse and keyboard versus controller, neither is 100% comfortable for me to use and I find myself wishing I had an extra hand, or at least a few more neurons.

    You may wish the same when attempting to ascertain the breadth of content in MHW: There are fourteen different types of weapons to use, some melee, some ranged, some simple and others tactically complex, multiple environments to hunt in, a few dozen monster types with varying strengths and weaknesses and tables of dropped crafting materials, many, many items to pick up, craft, an arm-mounted "slinger" that can fire various types of found ammo and use and at least two different sets of armor and one of each weapon type to make for each monster, with the Iceborne expansion adding an entirely new "grapple claw" mechanic, more moves for the weapons and of course, a lot more monsters and gear to craft. In the vein of many Japanese games I have played in the past: The EDF series, Sengoku Basara, Navel Ops, and others: There is a staggering amount of stuff to do, find and make. MHW is, in a word, dense. If nothing else, you will get your money's worth in hours played by far, if the game is your bag. When hunting alone or with one other player, and I do recommend at least one other player, you have the option of being accompanied by a helpful cat-like creature called a Palico, who can use a selection of unique support items, gather materials, distract the monster for you, and generally be nice to have around. When playing with three or four players however, the Palicos stay behind to enforce the 4-player party size limit.

    And now the meat of it: The combat in MHW is certainly more accessible then earlier iterations of the franchise, but gameplay overall is notably clunkier and rigid when compared to contemporary titles, especially western ones. It took some hours for me to adjust to the various oddities of the game's design and hurdles of progression, not the least of which is your extremely limited defense and damage at the game's outset- you will regularly die in early quests and any quest thereafter you are not properly geared for, as player skill will not save you from getting one shot by a powerful attack, thus wasting one of your team's precious limited respawns per assigned quest, costing you time, money and patience. Gear levels aside, as I mentioned earlier I've never been able to reach a real level of comfort with any control setup for MHW. Mouse and keyboard simply has too many separate binds to be usable within a reasonable frame of response time, not helped by a complete remap of the default binds accompanying the infamously delayed-for-pc Iceborne expansion, and locking character movement to eight cardinal directions versus the more nuanced directional control of an analog stick. Controller makes character movement and certain melee attacks and other inputs easier to perform, but hopelessly complicates aiming any projectile weapon or the grapple claw. And both control setups must contend with what I felt, at least initially, was a labyrinthine, archaic menu system and curiously unresponsive quick-use wheel. Aside from any of this, there is also the issue of the disparity in design quality between armors for the two available genders. Whatever your personal feelings on skimpy armor designs for female characters, there is simply a marked lack of quality and design creativity for the female armors.

    All that being said, MHW is nonetheless fun, perhaps inexplicably so at times. It's loud and colorful, with easily understandable icons, recognizable outlines for monsters, weapons and armors, reasonable load times, and it's very easy for friends to link up and do hunts together. Combat can be satisfying when all factors line up sufficiently, especially the mounting mechanic and grapple claw techniques. The map and guidance system is fairly robust.

    Above all, a bulk of my online friends have the game, and it is always in my experience better to play games of this nature with friends. Whatever its flaws, and there are many, MHW manages to be an entertaining and addicting experience.    … Expand

    - The Idea behind the "Hunt monsters and get stronger so you can beat more monster" is neat but also frustrating sometimes.
    - Almost every NPC in this game looks unique
    - Beating huge Monsters
    - a good amount of decorations and armor

    Negatives :
    - Combat system is disgustingly bad. If you like precise controls.. avoid this game. The Combat is clunky as hell and after 20 hours of trying.. i gave up. You are locked in combat stances and the character wont move unless you stop smashing the attack button or certain combos. Targeting does nothing except switching between targets so the camera can go ape **** and turn away from the selected target but even than your character refuses to relocate himself.

    - Stoy and Characters are so bad.. even a 12 year old could write a better story/character arc.

    - The handling of the controls are awful and the camera movements aren't good either. You have to manually change them until you found the perfect spot between "slow camera rotation" and "OMFG what is happening.. "

    - This game looks dead. No one wants to help new players at all. You are stuck on certain points in the game after you unlock the option to craft better gear.
    I tried the multiplayer 10 times on different time zones and only 2 out of those had up to 3 players.. ready to help me.

    - I did not like the "tutorials" at all. They felt like rushed piece of crap. It was simple written down but it was more like "You can do this and that but dont ask if you can unlock other things later or do other stuff on certain times or whatever. Please have no questions!

    Monster Hunter: World offers unique gameplay of high quality. However, the whole package could have been an order of magnitude superior if it included a properly designed online party system and the port from consoles was better taken care of.

    Monster Hunter: World still has all the complexity expected from this series, but it dishes it out in much more palatable chunks than usual. It's still got a frightening amount of depth, but it feels manageable in a way that few in the series have pulled off before. Players may still feel a little lost from time to time, but a little guidance from series vets or other friends can drastically reduce the growing pains new players will likely experience. On top of all that, this is one of the best-feeling titles the series has had to date; so saddle up with some friends, and explore all the New World has to offer.
