    Best MH game ever. Best maps, best controls, best graphics. Congratz Capcom and Ryozo Tsujimoto

    Although it's not my usual cup of tea, I enjoyed Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii but despite the upgraded visuals, I found this instalment uninvolving and repetitive. Explore, gather loot, kill a boss monster, rinse and repeat. And repeat. And repeat.
    Without a coherent narrative it just feels like an endless level grind.

    This game is just not for me.
    I don't like how hard you need to grind for the most smallest of upgrades. Just makes the game progress way too slow for me, at which point it's no longer fun for me to continue playing.

    Riveting moment-to-moment gameplay, from quiet stalking to action-packed hunting, is ultimately held back by a ton of grinding. I had fun for a while but ultimately burnt out on progressing.

    Quel jeu! Les monstres sont très impressionant et le gameplay,une fois maitriser, est jouissif. Les zones sont cohérentes et vivantes et la DA est très cool

    Monsters are too hard.
    Equipment is too weak. They move too slowly.
    Collecting materials and traces is a hassle.

    This was my first Monster Hunter Game, and I really enjoyed it. It is a good game to play with your friends, is entertaiting to grow together and capture all the monsters that are spread on the world. There are a few that are amazing, have a good movements and allow you to enjoy while killing them.

    A nice game to play with your friends.

    It's a great game to begin with but its weaker than MHGU for me.

    Well from graphical stand point, it's no doubt to be that good and it's quite dense and big as well for only 1 map. Yes, the map is dense but that makes exploring the world quite confusing, so many vegetations and other thing that obstruct how you view the world (not the map).

    Yes, the map is dense but that makes exploring the world quite confusing, so many vegetations and other thing that obstruct how you view the world (not the map). Well, you'll memorize it by the end of it but it's easier to explore around in GU dan in World. And, any herbs, honey, etc. is hardly noticeable because they blend in with the world which is a great one but I hardly collect enough because I keep missing it. Yes, you got the help from scoutfly to locate each one of them but there comes another problem which is lighting of the game is not consistent which mostly makes me lost track of the scoutfly that locate certain object.

    Speaking of map, the icon of the map seems washed out. I don't know if I can mess around about it in the setting but so far, I didn't find any solution for this. That icon really helpful thou to locate certain object to collect for your Quest.

    The palico also rarely help you when you get stunned or electrified but they did heal you a lot in battle. Well, I still do prefer to get smacked by my palico when I'm stunned or electrified.

    Last, it's my preferences but MHW seems to weakened most of their monsters. Like I met Rathalos on GU when I unlock the 5 stars village Quest and I got stun a lot as well as burned. In MHW, I encounter him when I'm on a mission to hunt down Pukei-Pukei (the 3rd Quest I believe). I kinda of hesitant but decided to engage in combat. Turns out, I'm winning without even healing at all. Cutting tail also way easier in MHW than GU. To be honest, this affects the satisfaction kind of feel that I hardly get from World.

    Overall I do enjoy the game but GU still a better game in my opinion which makes me keep coming back to GU more than World.    … Expand

    The game seems dog **** in my early impressions of it, but the main problem here is that it cannot be paused, even when playing solo. I envy people who have such a lack of responsibility that they can commit to playing games without interruption that regularly, but sadly I have a life and need to be able to pause games from time to time.

    I love this game this was my first Monster Hunter title but its just so catchy and has such good lore.

    All i can say from what i have seen and played it's the best Monster Hunter tite that was released.

    I think there could have beenn some more older monster from earlier games thats why im only giving it a 9/10 but its just amazing.

    I remember playing Monster Hunter Tri on the Nintendo Wii when I was younger but I didn't know how to play the game, so I never got into the game/series.
    Monster Hunter: World is my first Monster Hunter game in a sense and it was an interesting experience, even though I didn't finish the story; it wasn't engaging at all and it's not an important part of the game anyway.

    Monster Hunter: World is my first Monster Hunter game in a sense and it was an interesting experience, even though I didn't finish the story; it wasn't engaging at all and it's not an important part of the game anyway.
    The gameplay is fun though; there's a wide variety of different weapons, armor, items and playstyles to keep the gameplay loop - Hunt a monster -> Gather materials -> Craft new gear -> Repeat - stay exhilarating and deep.
    It can get a bit repetitive at times but it's very fun when you're hunting unique monsters; the highlight of Monster Hunter: World.
    The monsters are amazing! From their spectacular designs to the suspenseful confrontations, it's worth playing this game just for the monsters alone.
    The graphics are beautiful and the environments are absolutely stunning! Monster Hunter: World has some of the best looking environments I've seen in a videogame.
    Also, there's a lot of content in this game despite the grinding.
    Unfortunately for the gameplay though, the combat system and the controls are quite clunky.

    Pros:
    + Exciting and deep gameplay loop
    + Gorgeous environments and visuals
    + A lot of content
    + Monsters

    Cons:
    - Dated combat system & controls
    - Hunting monsters can get a bit repetitive in some instances

    Narrative: ?/10
    Gameplay: 7/10
    Content: 8/10
    Characters: ?/10
    Music: ?/10
    Graphics/Audio: 9/10

    Final Rating: 7.5/10
    - Very Good -
    On one hand, Monster Hunter: World is a very enjoyable videogame experience; on the other hand, it feels like a chore to play.
    Overall, I'd say Monster Hunter: World is a good game, especially for fans of the series, however, it won't be everyone's cup of tea.

    Do I recommend it?:
    For fans, Monster Hunter: World is a must-play.
    For newcomers, it's not easy to get into the game but it's worth a try.    … Expand

    No other game had ever kept me playing beyond 100 hours since Pokemon when I was a kid and Skyrim, but the latter never past the 200 hours point, and even at 350 hours I still want to enjoy this game more. I can only describe it as a perfect game which achieves its goals flawlessly.

    What a journey this game is.
    Is a game with lots of complicated mechanics, with very good and different weapons that are very hard to master, but once you get it, it gets really addictive.
    Beautiful and very distinctive environments and exceptional monster design.
    And it is as good to play solo, as coop.
    Thanks Capcom for a master piece!

    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.

    I won't rehash the problems I had with World simply because they make me profoundly sad. I wanted to like the game, I hoped the new direction would bring the series to a new level, but instead, the whole thing blew up in my face like a Marshmallow Peep left in the microwave too long.

    Moving to real consoles has paid off for Monster Hunter. The fifth installment is bigger, nicer and funnier (a bit). In addition, a number of free addons will extend the entertainment for another dozens of hours. [Issue#283]
