    Это какое-то гриндельное непотребство. Герой двигается как инвалид под водой. Ужасный таргетлок. Ощущение, что управляешь не персонажем, а старой лодкой в тинистом водоеме.

    Ugh...I was bored to death within the first half an hour of the game the first time I tried it. Sometimes there are games that will grow on me giving enough time, like dark souls. After getting used to the mechanics of the game I’ve become a dark souls fan. I really thought monster hunter world was that kind of game. Maybe once I get back to it after a long break I might learn to love it.Ugh...I was bored to death within the first half an hour of the game the first time I tried it.

I really thought monster hunter world was that kind of game. Maybe once I get back to it after a long break I might learn to love it. Nope. So a year later I tried it again, and it still couldn’t capture my interest in the game. Still bored to death. Something about the world design and battle mechanics that I just couldn’t get into it. Combat is so slow. Environment is meh, kinda weird looking. Yeah, overall this game is a waste of money. I highly disagree with the metacritic score.… Expand

    At First, you look to a japanese game and think is too colorful. But starts to play and realises that the game is huge and the price is fair for the amount of the content. You can learn about the mechanics in about 2 hours.

    YES, you kill the same monster over and over. But no match is equal to another. Always a new experiencie. Like FPS games. You can have 1000+hours easily.

    There is a lot of quests, lot of monsters and a lot of fun. And for Lovers of RPG games, this is A MUST HAVE. COmplex, fun and you can have diferrent playstyles.
    Don´t you want to play with a sword anymore? You can play a totally diverse style with other weapon and can play the entire game with friends.

The only thing wrong with this game is the monster variety is rather limited. Most of the monsters you fight are wyvern’s, while in other monster hunter games, you could hunt a dragon, a leviathan, a friggin bear and a giant muderous leapord. However, the game is meant to be played for hours and when you are fighting the same type of monster, it can become tiring. However, the individual monsters are different enough from one another to be interesting for several hours, but I just miss going from hunting a leviathan to a big four legged helicopter hammer dinosaur. However, the game is impressive of a technical level, as the sound design, level design, and graphics are incredible, and is amazing in terms of gameplay. Amazing game, a must play for any console… Expand

    One of the best games of the generation. Monster Hunter is one of my favorite licenses, and this episode comes directly into my top three. Yet it is not an "ultimate" episode.

    This game was hyped up far more than it deserved it’s the same game I remember from when I was younger and it reminded me why I ended up tossing it. Had high hopes and it definitely didn’t meet them. Simply put this wasn’t worth any amount of money I put into it. Severely disappointed in this one.

I had to do simply "everything" in the game, like there was no shortcuts to anything. Item gathering, mining, fishing, hunting... It was a fantasy world yet it felt insanely realistic. Not to mention it was a hard game to play, which I really love. Everything I did mattered in a big way. So you can clearly see that, Monster Hunter is my favourite franchise of all time. I've played every single title possible, even the spin-off's. And when World finally got announced in 2017 for the home consoles after all these years I was speechless. When it released, all I did was playing the game for months like a maniac. Did I like it? Answer is obvious but for sure there were some things that I did not like it. First of all, the minority of monsters, armors and weapons. It's understandable since the game had a brand new engine and they had to model everything from the beginning. Considering that, it had a good roster in it. Not to mention, game received FREE title-updates, which brought new monsters, new event, new difficulty levels, armors, weapons and items. With all those unwanted microtransactions, World got an amazing feedback with these free updates. My second complain is the Weapon designs. Monster Hunter team is absolutely crazy when it comes to designing "anything" literally. Monsters, Weapons, Armors... But there was something missing in the weapons. It all looked like a one weapon but undergo some changes with the given materials. The reason behind that was probably, they wanted to make the weapons look realistic for the game. But it backfired for the old players, because every single weapons had its own design in the old games which made each one of them unique and good looking for the players. My last complain is the games difficulty. Compared to the old games it was a little easier. Not to mention our character hunter had even more features to use on its arsenal, it had many advantages compared to old games. That also had a reason itself: the dev. team wanted players to experience a medium difficulty so that everyone could play. Surprisingly, World became CAPCOM's best selling game of all time. Not Resident Evil... Not Devil May Cry... Not Street Fighter... Team was not expecting such praise. So you can say their strategy worked. Thankfully, in their expansion Iceborne, Master Rank will be "tremendously hard" dev.'s say. "We wanted to make the first release accessible, now that we've gained players, we can easily make it harder in a balanced way." which makes me really happy. On its own Monster Hunter World is an amazing game regardless of their cons. It's one of the best co-op experiences in gaming history. It deserves all the praise with the mechanical depth it has in combat, smart monster movements and blood boiling action. Players around the world are waiting for expansion's release since the team revealed... including myself and the woman of my life that I've met in Monster Hunter :) It has been quite a while that I actively play the game since I finished the game 120% every armor, weapon, quest clear. We even caught every single rare pet every fish size. We are just waiting for master rank and hopefully Alatreon... I hope there are people around the world who cares about these games as well and my words speak for their feelings... If you haven't played Monster Hunter. Please give it a try. Accomplishing a victory is the best feeling you can ever imagine in this game...… Expand

    Maybe its not hard enough or the weapon designs are not good enough but I hope they will fix those in the Iceborne expansion. Game is a blast to play especially with your friends! A must buy and a must play for every hardcore gamer / fans of the series

I have played 300h and didn't get enough of it and I have so many good memories about it that I doesn't want to quit it in the upcoming years (sorry for the bad English I am 14 and I am coming from germany)

    Wonderful bosses, worlds and character customization. The music is jamming and the animations and fun. Combat is also satisfying. Put in over a hundred hours into this. Ultimately, the G-rank and the need to consistently grind the same monsters is what put me off continuing this otherwise fantastic game.

    I have been a fan of the series since monster hunter 4 ultimate. The quality of life improvements are so substential that I could not go back to the older games. The one complaint I have is the design of the weapons. At the moment it's the base weapon plus a bit of fur / skin and teeth from the monster, which is considerable downgrade from insane amount of visual variaty of the older games.

    Un buon monster hunter finalmente.... peccato che sia anche un gioco abbastanza mediocre per il mio punto di vista. Posso accettare il gameplay legnoso e vecchio, ma non un comparto tecnico davvero penoso ed insufficiente. L'estetica dei mostri invece è molto suggestiva e riuscita.

The fights with monsters who were much stronger than human beings are always full of excitement, always. As a player of former monster hunter series, the design of new monsters in MHW is still charming. With the approval of console, there were much more details in both the models and actions of the monsters. The remake of the monsters existed in former MH was satisfying as well. However, there were also problems created by this evolution. Besides the bugs and weird movements of the monsters, the turf war was upsetting after saw them over and over again. Also, the landform full of steps and slopes made it extremely difficult to enjoy the combat in later game period. Besides, the music was too mediocre to be remembered. Anyway, I still agree that MHW is a necessary evolution for MH series. With this platform, the future of MH is worth expected.… Expand

    Combat mechanics is a bit weird. Even if you "lock" on to your monster, your character is not really locked into your target which i feel is a waste. You still have to make sure your character is facing the monster before you actually hit the attack button.
    Story line of this game is not very engaging. I find it a bit boring and the voice acting is dull. You keep doing the same thing over and over again which is to hunt monster and kill.
    No pause in this game, even if you're playing by yourself.

    On PS4 absolutely love this game. From some strange reason it is so wonderfully satisfying to jump in and bash up large dinosaur type monsters. You get to craft all your gear with what you kill/capture. Just wonderful! The learning curve is rather steep but definitely worth taking the time to master. Graphics are gorgeous and the replayability is endless. A definite must buy!

    Honestly, if the Low and High Rank portions wasn’t as polished and an incredible experience to go through. This score would be 7/8 margin just because compared to previous games, the rotating event quests, RNG investigations for RNG loot, reduced weapon and quest pool, and less challenging solo player end game. But, with the incredibly constructed world, incredible combat experience, and cohesive experience, the downpoints are more just demands for more content.
