    This is my first entry into Monster Hunter, and I can clearly say the combat is terrible. Its feels so clunky to me, worse than the dark souls 2 pc port. I don't think I can adapt, nor am willing to adapt to the combat in this game, meaning its basically unplayable for me. I am sorry but if you are a fan of precise controls, like I am, stay the hell away from this game!

I give it a 3 out of 10 because the world is beautifully crafted and I believe it deserves a mention.… Expand

    There is NOTHING about this game that is good enough to warrant a 9/10 rating. In the history of gaming, there's never been a port from console to PC that was any good. And sadly, I was right about this game as well.

    What all the game play videos do NOT show people is the worst parts of the game. So to keep it simple here's a list: 1.

In the history of gaming, there's never been a port from console to PC that was any good. And sadly, I was right about this game as well.

    What all the game play videos do NOT show people is the worst parts of the game.

    So to keep it simple here's a list:

    1. Camera system is terrible, you can tell it was a direct port from console and designed to work with gamepads and not PC mice.

    2. The Combat system is slow and clunky at best.

    3. Anyone using an pre-Haswell CPU is struggling with FPS stability (I do not have this problem i7-5930K) (Yes they are trying to figure out how to fix this issue)

    4. The Game world is setup like SkyForge (Central Hub *by yourself* where you prepare to enter an instanced zone either by yourself or while having someone connect to your session or vice versa otherwise it's a single player game, with a poorly implemented coop/multiplayer mode: It felt like an afterthought at best))

    5. Multiplayer is terrible at best, You would think after 8 months on Xbone, and PS4 they might have an idea of what network infrastructure would work? (Constant disconnects between player sessions) If I didn't know any better I'd say they were using Peer-Peer server hosting, because I can't believe a normal Network Infrastructure is this unstable and bad. Disconnects and error codes are common, and being forced into offline mode are expected. (No it's not my connection either, I have a 500Mb/sec / 50Mb/sec connection, and I ping 15-100ms or less everywhere in the U.S.

    6. Character animations are poor at best, you cannot move while attacking at the same time. In other words for those of us who played a real Action Combat MMO: The character position is locked while attacking, so no you cannot circle strafe around a target.

    7. If you were expecting this game to be an Action Combat System it's not. Not when you throw a game like Tera into the mix as a comparison.

    Now there are only 2 things positive I can say about this game:

    1. The Graphics

    2. They do in fact have a mouse Y Axis invert option.

    Beyond that, I can't say anything else good about it. The idea is sound, but the control mechanics, character animations, and clunky combat system makes it eye bleeding to deal with.

    Worst $60 I spent so far on a game. (next to X-Universe that is but hey at least the camera system worked in that game.)    … Expand

    - **** DRM / Denuvo
    - Badly optimized
    - 1080ti runs at 40-50 FPS
    - No inherit controller support, relies on steam API for controller support which doesn't work. And yes, I did use the steam checkbox for controllers.

    Happy to change my review when all these issues have been fixed, but right now the game is not at an acceptable level.

    There is simply no better game. Best monster hunter game in the franchise so far.
    -IT is ON PC (finally)
    -huge collections of weapons to master
    -still a challenging game with 500+ hours into the franchise

    You can play good with Controller an Keyboard too. Monster Hunter World is one of the best CO-OP Games ever made. The World is so lively and beautiful and with friends, online or alone you can play 100 of hours.

    This is my first exposure to the series, and I must say I'm highly impressed. The world feels like a living eco system, and has beautfiul locales.

    The combat is incredibly varied, as not only do the 14 different weapon types have seperate animations, they have their own set of combos as well. This makes each type of weapon play in unqiue ways, which makes the system always feel fresh.    This is my first exposure to the series, and I must say I'm highly impressed.

    The premise is simple, but their are many intricacies in the gameplay that give it depth.

    I would highly reccomend this game!    … Expand

    Monster Hunter finally on PC. The game is awesome so far and no technical issues whatsoever. I5 4690@4.5ghz, 16gb, 1070ti. Game runs between 70 and 150 fps if unlocked. Great for gsync.

    The game itself is Monster Hunter with a bunch of QoL changes compared to previous titles. Best game to get into the franchise.

    Honestly wait for MHW to go on sale of get some patches in. Like it's fun but I don't think it is a premium level.

    My poor friend was just frustrated the entire time because grouping is such a hassle or just doesn't work most of the time. The graphics while pretty have a lot of low quality flaws that stand out.

    Para los que tengan intención de jugarlo en mondo panorámico sabed que desde Steam la comunidad del juego se está moviendo para enviar Feedback a la siguientes direcciones:

    - feedback@capcom.com
    - support@capcom.com

    con el fin de que el mayor número de usuarios pueda presionar a la compañía para que al menos, tomen en consideración futuras franquicias con una relación aspecto acorde a los tiempos que tocan.

    Sin más comentar que el juego base es del todo estupendo, la optimización del mismo está algo ajustada debido a esa explotación de la CPU la cual requiere tanto y que junto con Danuvo no ayuda demasiado, pero teniendo una buena base RAM y una 960 Nvidia de pasada generación, este título luce de manera notable.
    Recalcar también su componente offline y online, muchas personas estaban asegurando que no podían jugar en modo offline al juego, esto no es así, lo que hay que hacer es crear una sala privada y ya está, algo que también ocurría en PS4.    … Expand

    Monster Hunter World is a solid title that will soak up a lot of time if you enjoy beautiful graphics, hunting beautiful, dangerous and unique creatures, and crafting buttloads of weapons and gear.

    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. But even like this, MH:W is worth every penny it asks.

    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.
