I have been waiting for this game and sometimes game’s you wait for don’t always fulfill your lofty expectations, but that’s not the case here because it reaches my expectations and some. The gameplay has lots of little intricate mechanics in play at all times and when they combine together they create a very enjoyable and supremely addictive experience. The world in which these mechanics take place in is absolutely fantastic. There is plenty for you to do and explore on the map and the best thing is that the world felt alive at all times. The content which is extremely important in an RPG is packed to the brim in this game and without a doubt it will keep you occupied for month’s to come. Without a doubt the crux of the game is the monsters that you come to face and thankfully they’ve managed to get this aspect spot on. Each monster has it’s own strengths and weaknesses and the clever design of each monster makes battling them both exciting and challenging at the same time. I will say though that the extreme challenge may put some people off at times, but if you come prepared at all times then you will keep the frustration at bay. I did find myself getting frustrated from time to time, but thankfully that was never down to the combat that’s present in the game. The combat feels great and there are a number of different weapons for you try out and the best thing is that each weapon feels different so that keeps things fresh and interesting throughout. The presentation side of the game is something that I was a massive fan of, especially when it came to the visuals. The graphics look awesome at times and the amount of detail that’s present is absolutely fantastic. The sound design whilst not as good as the visuals is still very well done and it does more than enough to keep the immersion levels high. At the end of the day Monster Hunter: World has pretty much created a perfect experience and in my opinion it will be in for a shout of being game of the year this year. Every little detail in the game has had a lot of love and effort put into it and this makes the game stand out in a very big way and without a doubt this game gets a massive recommendation from me and if you like RPG’s then this game is an absolute must buy.

    First of all, I have been playing Monster Hunter since Tri came out. I have followed the series throughout the years and the series has only gotten better.

Compared to the previous games MH World has completely revolutionized the Monster Hunter series. They have created an intricate ecosystem with competing monsters and countless ants crawling everywhere. I was expecting a bland, open map full of pretty bushes and some birds flying above. However, i was proved wrong, there are so many things! And you can abduct them and throw them in your home as well! The massive, polished map this game provides completely blew me away.

    Throughout the series, combat has gotten more fluid (especially in MH Generations) but it always remained a little clunky. The combat in this game has greatly improved (Ignoring the fact that the controls are complete ass and you can't change them). Once you get used to the controls, the combat seems a lot more smooth, making it satisfying to land devastating combos on a massive wyvern yearning for your blood. The Great Sword, which used to feel kinda clunky is a lot more fluid, with multiple combos that flow well into each other, making you feel bad ass after landing a fully charged combo on a monsters tail. The bow has changed as well. Although undermined by the newly added slinger, the bow still proves to be a fun weapon (noticed they made it more mobile and powerful). However, the guns are so boring, there is nothing special about them. They feel clunky, slow and underpowered. Especially the heavy bow gun, been like this since the beginning. But this is just an opinion, you might take a liking to the bow gun.

    For all you Monster Hunter fans out there, this is a must buy. However, for players that search for an immersive story that provides many hours of entertainment, you will be somewhat disappointed. The game's story is like an ocean that's one foot deep. When you open the game, you are kinda thrown into the story with barely any context and you chase some big dragon (won't reveal more than that). If story is what you are looking for, turn away. This game is mainly based on hunting monsters, not the story behind them.

    Some players are saying that the combat is sluggish, weapons feel clunky, and it's for little kids??? For new players, combat will definitely feel a little sluggish as you mindlessly spam two buttons for the first few hours. But you will soon discover that the combat is extremely complicated, providing a huge learning curve. There are many combos that flow into each other with ease if done correctly. If combos are done incorrectly you get punished, leaving you completely open to monsters. Some players don't like this because they like to swing a greatsword around at the speed of sound with no consequences. Once you get the hang of these combos you will feel like a bad ass monster hunter. For some reason, I have been noticing reviews stating that the game is for little kids. I must admit, the game does have some weird Japanese **** that appeals to its main fan base. But as soon as you have a monster eat you out like an Oreo you realize that this game ain't cute at all. This is real **** and you're gonna piss your pants when you fight the final boss, trust me.

    So far, I have been very impressed with the game. However, I have noticed, if you pay some attention, on the Xbox One, the game is kinda blurry (thought I was going blind for a second). Not to much of an issue, only makes me more hyped for the PC version. You probably won't notice unless you look really hard as well. I still can't get over how bad the controls are. Hopefully, they do something about that.

    The biggest thing about this game is that they decided not to ruin the game with pay-to-win content, loot boxes and cosmetic bull****. Gotta respect that decision. A company that actually listens to its players.

    TL;DR

    Pros
    This game has massive, well-polished worlds.
    Complicated yet fluid combat.
    Scary Monsters.
    NO LOOT CRATES!!!

    Cons
    Controls are **** and you can't change them.
    Kinda blurry if you pay enough attention.
    A shallow story.

    Game would be a 10, but the controls really killed it for me.

You can jump on the backs of dragons, stab them repeatedly and then carve up their carcasses for parts to TURN THEM INTO WEAPONS AND ARMOR. Sounds pretty manly. I think the average Xbox user really just can't get beyond Halo, Madden, Forza, Cod, etc. Shame, really. I'm sure the learning curve has a lot to do with it. The guys (I know their guys, come on) that said they returned it after an hour or two... you can't even scratch the surface or settle on a weapon you prefer (if it's your first MH title) in that time. Funny that the guys that hate this also seem to hate the Souls games. These games aren't that hard but it's ok to admit that's why you don't like them.

    I had my doubts leading to release, hearing about how they gutted the series. Dumbed it down. As someone who's played and enjoyed on the PSP, 3DS and WiiU, I can tell you that isn't the case. Yeah, you have unlimited uses of your whetstone, fishing rod and net. But those are minor quality of life improvements that you will appreciate. And the scoutflies can lead you to things. But they won't lead you directly to that big monster the first time you need to kill it. Or directly to some other objective you have to find. You still have to pay attention.

    The game looks and plays great. A welcome addition to my Xbox library. So happy Capcom decided to go multiplat with this.

The monster hunter series has always been simultaneously cheerful, whimsical and almost playful while throwing you into the gaping jaws of massive behemoths that will rip you limb from limb. This game isn't the grim-dark saga that most western audiences may have come to expect but when you get cornered by a dragon you can't hope to defeat, the fear you will feel will be palpable and you will feel smaller than you ever thought you could outside of a FromSoftware title.

    But this is intentional, as the themes of this series have always been; overcoming challenges, becoming truly skilled and actually being a badass. You will start by getting decimated by a horrifying beast only to come back hours later wearing the skins of your previous kills to slaughter that same beast you used to fear. This character progression isn't told through cut-scenes; it happens directly to you, the player. The rewarding, empowering sensation is one that has to be felt to understand and is addictive by nature which is why these games are designed to be played for ages.

    If you want to take a dive into a profoundly deep game that will keep you coming back for hundreds and hundreds of hours, then this game is absolutely for you. If you take the time to learn how the game systems work and how the mechanics impact the gameplay and monster battles you will find a level of complexity and depth that is almost without equal. This game feels alive, the environments are hostile and the monsters will not pull their punches. But if you want to experience an action rpg with heart, soul and depth then look no further because this is amazing time to be a monster hunter.

    O som é prático, consegue te passar a tensão apropriada e ao mesmo tempo não te distrair durante o combate.
    A vida longa do jogo também é incrível, fizeram o modo história do jogo ser importante e notável, algo que os demais jogos da série não conseguiam fazer, sendo que dessa vez o enredo te segura, te faz querer saber o desenrolar das atividades e pelo caminho te faz conhecer cada monstro do jogo, fazendo momentos brilhantes para os monstros clássicos, como Rathalos, e cenas deslumbrantes para os novos.
    Monstros novos foram acrescentados, com ótimas variedades de ataques e foram de grande acréscimo na série, além de manter os clássicos monstros, a Capcom já liberou vídeos com monstros que virão por missões especiais.
    MHW é o mais acessível dos jogos da série, tirou complexidades que não acrescentavam no gameplay e mantiveram a dificuldade, um jogo excelente para novatos e veteranos.

    I've been a fan of Monster Hunter since Freedom Unite and since this was announced I couldn't wait for this one to come out, and what did I think? I think that this is one of the best games of 2018. I'll tel you why.

    So if you want to play Monster Hunter World and don't have a basic understanding of the game, then I'll give a quick summary. Monster Hunter is a game where you basically get to hunt dragons, dinosaurs, and other varieties of creatures that are basically known as you guessed it, monsters. By hunting these monsters you have to also use various items to your advantage and f*ck those monsters up. I'll be telling why you should be buying this game and what it does right.

    GAMEPLAY: The gameplay of monster hunter is what it mainly focuses on and does an incredible job of doing that. I've seen negative reviews saying that "You just go to an area and kill a monster and do it again and again and it runs away a lot." Some of these people have played not even through the full game but mostly only an hour or two of the game putting up their review. I can disprove this.

    Now as you know that people say you just hunt a monster and do it again but it's not just about hunting it. It's about how you hunt it and the monster you are hunting yourself. Let me show you two great examples what makes the gameplay great!

    SCOUT FLIES/TRACKING: While you are in the game you are not just running around areas trying to find a monster. What this game does from other Monster Hunters is that it adds that features to track the monsters. In older games, you have to go to certain areas of the map sometimes just running around everywhere until you spot the monster you are looking for. In this game, you are finding tracks to track the monster that you are looking for, Different from paintballs where you throw it on a monster and it tracks it until it wears off. You get these tracking devices called scout flies. Scout flies are basically what they are. Once you found enough evidence from the tracks that you found they will lead you straight to the monster and once you find the monster you can track it forever until you kill it. This is what I think is a unique feature of the game and makes you feel like that you are hunting the monster.

    THE MONSTER: Now this is the part where I wanted to get to. Each monster has unique was to attack and defend itself and all of their attacks differentiate from each other. In the older monster hunter games, you would mostly be given attacks that don't really differentiate from others and you are most of the time given the dame attacks from other monsters that you see other monsters use. In Monster Hunter World every attack is different and by seeing these attacks you have to learn how to dodge them and overcome them so you can learn more about your target and get their sweet gear which you can use to make cool gear and you can do it again and again and it never gets old which makes the grinding extremely fun.

    WEAPONS & ARMOR: Now after killing these monsters you get to make gear that not only makes you look cool but also improves you and your hunter's attributes o hunt bigger and crazier monsters. The armor is basically what I said a sentence earlier where it better improves your health and attributes; but let us now get to the cool part, the weapons.The weapons are what make monster hunter a cool game. You have over 13 or 14 weapon types and I fell in love with most of them due to their unique combos and mechanics. Which can stir up the game and can do some massive damage.

    They also try to do a more interesting story with the series and I can say that they did a good job at making it interesting. Now since I have finished what is good about it; I can now say what is wrong with it because not every game is perfect.

    Now here is what I have to say...the multiplayer sucks d*ck. The only problem that they have is multiplayer and I can agree with most players on that. You can't even join matchmaking and if you invite someone to your lobby you can't see or interact with them and when you actually do start a quest you disconnect from the quest after a few minutes or they disconnect and you have to face it alone or you have to face it with fewer people which will make it more of a challenge. You see I wouldn't have much of a problem with this except that they wanted to focus on the multilayer feature because that's what people liked about the game. But if the servers are bad and you can't joi anyone then focusing on multiplayer is not going to be a good thing which can ruin the experience and your fun. It's also a singleplayer game too so it's not that chaotic of a problem.

    SUMMARY: Overall this is an outstanding game with great gameplay and interesting story with unique characters and monsters that will make you keep grinding the game and have a big amount of fun while playing it. Besides the only problem being multiplayer, playing in singleplayer is still a blast. 9.6/10

    If that doesn't sound awesome, this game is not for you.

    I took off points for technical implementation. On Xbox 1 X, running at 4k, I shouldn't have to choose between resolution/framerate/graphics (there's an in-game toggle that is "exclusive" to X1X). The game already looks like a PS3 game, and it has no excuse of running like a game from 2006 either. Framerate drops constantly if you are running in Resolution mode, and graphics mode makes no difference. Framerate makes everything extremely hideous.

    I know Japan doesn't give a damn about graphics, and this game has more personality than most... but still. And this is supposed to be "Xbox 1 X Enhanced" title and yet it performs atrociously.

    I ended up running it in "graphics" mode because it seems to be the middle ground between enjoyable framerate and decent visuals.

    Ok now that that is out of the way, The game itself is the best MH to date. They streamlined a lot of the minutia and made it more accessible. Environments are interactive, and even the monsters seem to have territory zones and will repel each other.

    This game is about progression; in terms of armor and weapons, but also in terms of your skill as a player. You have 14 weapons to choose from and each requires some level of practice to master them. If you dont like one, then move to another and try that. It will be wildly different. Also weapons in multiplayer require more skill in order to not hit or buff your squad. So it all takes practice.

    This game rewards those you want to plan ahead, but now with the tent at the campsite, it no longer penalizes those that forget something!

The graphics are great, the monster variety is interesting and fun and, as usual, hunting the same monster 15 times in a row is still exciting on the 15th time.

    Overall, I'd say the game ranks pretty much with all of the other Monster Hunters at a solid 8, but it gets a bonus point for finally bringing in non-Hunter folks without completely destroying what makes it so unique and interesting.

    If you're a veteran, you'll enjoy it a ton. If you're new to the series, it's definitely worth giving a shot, especially once it starts going on sale/you find copies used.

    Second, and this is just me ranting about a small thing but non the less, the monster vs monster aspect. That was one of their big selling points in that they have an immersive world where if two of the major monsters meet there will be some epic clash. I have had occasions where two bosses literally touch each other and nothing happened. I was just waiting for some big fight, but alas not a dang thing happened. Maybe it's just bad luck on my part, but still it would be nice to see a full on battle royale.

    Last but not least, the story is wishy washy, but this is Monster Hunter so not to much on well flushed out stories anywho so no big complaints.

    No for the good stuff. The combat is fairly good. With the ability to use the environment to your benefit in tons if different ways is very satisfying. The monster attacks are well played out yet become predictable after multiple hunts, but that's the whole point of the game. The crafting system is easy yet extremely diverse with the ability to craft multiple tools, armor, and weapons with monster parts and collectible items. The maps themselves literally are multilayered with lots to explore and find with many different side quests and missions to fill in those storyline gaps. Also, no f'in microtransactions. Thank you.

    Now this game is a grind game. You have to hunt a monster multiple times to get the armor/weapon you want. Some games hand you stuff on a silver platter. This is not one of those. It's fairly difficult (yet nowhere near as difficult as Souls) and challenges your skills at certain intervals in the game. Just a bit of advice, do the capture missions for monster parts.

    All in all, this will be a A or A+ game after they fixed the multiplayer.

This is a game of its own. The casual western audience gamer might not enjoy it because it does just throw you into the midst of the game with little explanation. If you are a new player you might think the gameplay is clunky at first, but it isn't. You just need to get better and that will come with time. Each of the weapon types could be a game in it's own, that is how detailed and intricate the gameplay is. I've spent nearly 400 hours on every dark souls, I love the series but the gameplay is not even comparable. I suggest watching youtube tutorials to learn the weapon types. There is a weapon for everyone and each weapon could be it's own game. Again, this game is a masterpiece but it won't hold your hand. The people leaving bad reviews either bought the game expecting a dark souls or just aren't good and think the gameplay is clunky. If you are going to buy the game do the research. You will get one of the best gaming experiences of your life. Also, the multiplayer is not broken. If you can't even figure out multiplayer you have no business buying the game. The only valid criticism I have seen in all these comments is that the story is lacking. This game is not about the story though and it does not try to be.

    Monster Hunter World is essentially a 50 hour long games as a service version of a boss rush game
    Here you play as your own created hunter with your kitty companion and you set out to slay monsters, which I feel are doing nothing wrong, theyre just minding their own business, living life and humans come around to mess that up for them..

    Monster Hunter World is essentially a 50 hour long games as a service version of a boss rush game
    Here you play as your own created hunter with your kitty companion and you set out to slay monsters, which I feel are doing nothing wrong, theyre just minding their own business, living life and humans come around to mess that up for them..
    Im not some peta vegan, but at first I felt kind of unconfortable just running around slaying monsters for being a nussance…
    I felt like I was the monster… but the fact this game evoked that kind of emotion for me means that theres something special here… the world of monster hunter feels alive and real.. I felt immersed tracking down my targets…
    The experience youll have with this game is going to be completely dependent on how you choose to play…
    If you play solo, this game is basically a boss rush dark souls with a cat companion that will aid you in battle and heal you, and if you play with friends it’s a destiny feeling game
    The game starts out giving you 1 of every weapon type so you can find the right one for you.. and then build your character around it.. this is a decision that’s crucial you make early on if youre not the grind type…
    But basically you can investigate the worlds, gather materials to craft potions antidotes and possibly ammo, slay monsters and pick bone piles for parts to craft better armour and weapos for both you and your companion, do side quests for rewards or you can straight up stick to the story which will have you on essentially a boss rush mode quest of monster contract after monster contract…
    If you have a crew youll have a decently enjoyable and addictive experience here…
    When you start am assignment you can go in solo or with a party of up to 4 players,
    You then follow scout flies to tracks that will lead you to your target, and you can pick up items along your way for crafting
    and if you go in alone, once you track down your target, you have the option to shoot an sos flare which will bring in random players to help you…
    However no matter how you play, solo or with friends… you only have 4 lives to kill this monster.. but heres where my annoyances with this game comes in.. everything is constantly being timed…
    I actually love that there are only 3 continues allowed… but the timer on literally everything you do just makes this game feel frustrating.. the most of which is the 30 second timer that starts once the monster is slain… if you die and youre running back to your team and they kill the monster before you get back.. congrats.. you don’t get to skin it for its materials…even if youre the one that did most of the work taking it down, it doesn’t matter… if youre not back in 30 seconds you get nothing but the rewards for completing the task… its annoying that the game doesn’t let you choose when to leave after completion…
    Even more annoying is that even the expeditions which is essentially the games free roam mode where youre free to hunt and grind for whatever materials you want with infinite lives is secretly timed as well… I got closed to slaying some dragon and I get a warning that its about to leave soon… then a message pops up that it got away and I felt like I completely wasted my time…
    But despite these massive annoyances I had with this game, I just couldn’t walk away…
    The fights all feel so different and so engaging, you can trap monsters, you can luer them into turf wars with other monsters, its amazing to think back to a previous battle and realize that that battle was in the same game.. it feels like a distant memory.. and the experience felt so unique.. but it was all in this same world…
    its almost magic how great this game does at mixing up basically the same loop of over come the odds and slay this beast… the battles will take you to new parts of the map, youll deal with new challenges and attack patterns
    But its no easy feat…
    The dark souls comparisons are made not only because battles are so tough but because of the combat feeling.. its stiff.. its slow… youre juggling your stamina and attacks, youre breaking to sharpen your sword, youre fleeing for new materials.. but one thing the souls games do that I with this game did was show a health bar
    the game manages to give you that one more try feeling.. but not nearly as strong as it would if you actually could see the progress you were making.. sure youll cut of tails and sometimes they’ll limp away
    But I still had no clue if I was close or not.. if I could keep trying and do it on my own or if I needed to call in for help..
    This may seem like a little thing, but I feel this small addition could push this game to the next level.. at least for me, as in its current state bosses just feel ridiciously spongy
    And in general the feeling of a lack of progression is the negative aspect that sticks out the most for this game..
    I give Monster Hunter World
    an 8.5/10

    Ok, so bought this purely on the reviews having never really heard of MH, and only now am I just understanding why this is such a great game. I think my best ever gaming experience previously has come from The Withcer 3: Wild Hunt. I was kind of expecting a game a bit like this so I decided to download it on Xbox live. The first few hours of play I was quite disaapointed, I though my game was faulty as their was no voice acting from the main character - just bizarre face expressions. I also felt like the game was so complicated that it was distracting from the enjoyment. I though there was no way I would remember all the different menus, sub menus and different aspects to the game, its like a bombardment of information to start off with. Also the hunting just felt a bit crap and the weapons were not very satisfying. I imagine this is where many of the negative reviews come from, the fact that people have not kept going through the first 20-30hrs of slog.

    However, I persevered considering myself a fairly intelligent gamer with yrs of experience of adventure RPGs. Now around 50 hrs in I truly have a different perspective on the game, it's depth is what makes the game all consuming. You have to simply spend the time to learn all the features and put in the effort - then all of a sudden the hunting becomes more strategic, the weapon controls become intuitive, the menus all make sense and you don't really care that the character never speaks. I am now mastering the insect glaive and find this weapon to be so versatile and effective to my play style I don't think I'll be using any other weapon for a while. So I really do think this game deserves the hype and great acclaim it has received, it truly is a rewarding experience mastering the game. I still would like more in depth character development and better voice acting hence only 9, but then this game is not really about the characters but about the monsters - which are mesmorising at times. Put in the effort and you will love this game.

    This game rules and im so glad Capcom came to their senses and made a new game for everyone to enjoy, not just the Nintendo crowd. It is the equivalent of a "loot shooter, but so much more awesome.

    To see how far this series has come from the PS2 days is nothing short of breath taking.

    There's no denying this game is quality, and it feels good to play. But elements of the combat feel clunky at times. This is disappointing especially considering that monster hunters previous older games have all felt very precise and accurate. Other than this and the mildly irritating partner you have to team up with the games a triumph and I can't wait to grind through the endgame content.

    --Overview--
    Monster Hunter World is the latest entry in the Monster Hunter franchise which smashed its way onto the Playstation 4 and Xbox on January 26,2018. This entry certainly shares a lot of DNA with it’s predecessors, but ultimately steers the series in a newer more open experience. Monster hunter is just as it sounds: a game where you hunt monsters. The game is completely 3D and multiplayer, fights are real time action, the environment is immersive, and there are so many things you can do. The game features main (hub-like) towns where you will establish a base, accept quests, craft, eat food, do more crafting, and finally, CRAFT. This game has a lot of crafting and it works really well. A lot of new and returning features are present in Monster Hunter World and we will break them down below.

    --The Good--
    The gameplay is rock solid, fluid and responsive. The interface has been given a serious overhaul and is far less overwhelming to new players. Harvesting high use items (potions etc.) is now a breeze with the option to auto craft once the materials are collected in the field. Re-sharpening weapons is also much less stressful since whetstones are now infinite. The monsters themselves can have unpredictable move patterns and can actually fight each other so each fight feels fresh. The variety of game modes and equipment are fantastic and implemented in a way that is not overwhelming. The graphics are beautiful for all characters, monsters, and the open world, there are very few FPS drops, and everything flows together nicely.

    --The Not So Good--
    Although the game has a lot of good, some elements seem a little off. Most of these are easily fixable and will hopefully be addressed in coming updates.

    --The climbing mechanic--
    The ability to climb (sometimes) on the larger monsters is awesome, but the indicators for your current grip is confusing to read and is inconsistent at best.

    --The lack of a damage indication--
    This can be a real problem in larger fights. It is not always obvious when a player takes a hit and receives damage. This is problematic because without an indication, players will have no reason to look at their health bars. I have died a few times because of this (also, I suck).

    --Retreating Monsters--
    When fighting bosses, they often retreat to different zones periodically throughout the fight to heal or regroup. The issue becomes when a boss is close to death and limping but can still limp faster than I can sprint. I understand this it to make killing them more challenging, but it feels artificial in a game that normally feels so organic.

    --Multiplayer--
    Like many of the other Monster Hunter titles, there is co-op multiplayer mode (no PvP). You can join or create a game server and work with others to complete quests, or just explore. In a game like monster hunter this is a key element however there seems to be some problems that Capcom should probably smooth over.

    Currently, there is no direct way to join an expedition (the free roaming mode) with your party. In order to explore the open world in a group you must shoot/respond to an SOS flare or complete an investigation or mission together and return to camp together (this automatically starts an expedition). The story mission has some serious flaws (this one is important so listen up). Currently, you cannot join another player’s story mission until both players have watched the required cutscenes. This offers two huge problems: it completely breaks the flow of the game, and in order to join a story mission, players must watch the cutscene, wait for the game to prompt ‘SOS Flares are now available’, ‘return’ from mission and THEN join it together. The cut-scenes are unskippable, so why can’t players join together to start? The timing should be correct if all players are watching the same unskippable cutscene at the same time. Clearly some aspects of multiplayer gaming needs some work, and hopefully Capcom will get on these issues soon.

    --Verdict--
    The gripes that I have this game are easily offset by the hours upon hours of fun I have had. The main issues all have workarounds (while annoying, it’s worth it to play). The game is vast, has a great difficulty scaling and will leave players wanting more. This game offers a lot of help to those who are new to the series while keeping with the traditions of old to please even the hardest of core veterans. I would strongly recommend this game!

    --Score: 4.5/5--

The graphics are great and movement is fluid, but monster animations start getting pretty slow when you are some distance away from them.
    Something I've seen a lot of people talk about is the story and I definitely agree, its not good. From what I've heard its better than that of previous games, but still I find it lackluster and it is definitely going disappoint many western players. Most of the cutscenes are concentrated in the beginning, with almost all the other cutscenes being towards the end. The best part of the game is learning to battle these large(or sometimes massive) monsters, every single monster acts differently and has beautiful turf wars. The monsters also interact with the environment, this is sometimes to your advantage or but can also be pretty bad for you. This means that every single time you battle them its completely different and that's something amazing. The amount of things to do in the game might intimidate some players, especially towards the end where you have to deal with some of the most complicated UI's. But mastering them is definitely worth it. Monster hunter has so much content already ingame it would take a year to finish it, but with free DLC coming to it throughout the year (and hopefully next year) there will never be time finish the game.

    Having read multiple reviews about the "flaws" this game has, has me irritable. With that being said this will remain an honest and mostly unbiased view of the game.
    The Monster Hunter series has been known for being a game with a throw away story with amazing monster battles. Many people coming to this game with a focus on narrative will be disappointed with the lack of content in that area. Visually the game looks good and sometimes even reaching greatness with much of the particle effects going on in the game. For the most part the traditional Monster Hunter gameplay is still here as you're given a mission to hunt and kill a specific type of monster of your choice through expeditions. Story Quests have chosen the monster you will hunt or capture as you progress through the main story. Killing monsters is as satisfying as ever as you break off parts from the monster and even severing limbs. This gives a sense of progression through combat that is sure to please most, but understandably not all as there is no health bar of any sort to indicate if a monster is close to death. Instead the developers decided to show instead of tell by demonstrating the monster running away with a limp and going to sleep to try and recover from all the damage being done. Sadly if you're not a fan of the combat mechanic or find the tracking system engaging then this game most likely isn't for you. Sadly the game does a poor job introducing most mechanics in the game such as weapon and armor crafting which could have seriously helped get most gamers hooked. Personally I believe that the aspect this game does best is the satisfaction of killing a monster you once had such huge troubles with, using its remains to craft better and cooler gear just to kill it with its own flesh and bones.

    This game does falter after a few hours though as much of the gameplay can and will feel repetitive. A tip to keep the game feeling fresh is to try different weapons or approaches to defeating a monster you have trouble with. Another complaint that is apparent is that the game is "a kid game" or " for children" which is hard to comprehend as much of the games mechanics would fly over a child's head. The combat and difficulty of some of these enemies is too high for a child to play correctly (not saying it cant be done, just unlikely). The Japanese stigma is that most of their games are child like such as Pokemon, which is highly regarded as an amazing game over and over. So why criticize this game for the same thing?

    in the best conclusion I could come up with, this game is addictive to those looking more or less for massive battles with sadly not so varied monsters. It does have its faults but one simply cant deny that this game runs beautifully with no frame rate dips, crashes, or huge bugs plaguing the gameplay (Having played this on the XB ONE S for >45 hours). Also just for those who love sound in games this one will have great sounding environments as you hack and slash monsters but with bad to bellow average voice acting its more of a hit and miss. The voice acting could also at times take you out of the game wondering if they just used the first take and said **** it, there's no time for a second take!" Sad to have that here but luckily overshadowed by the awesome roaring sounds of monsters. Personally I recommend this game only for those who know what they're getting themselves into as the game wont exactly compel you to keep playing through story but through gameplay. Overall it deserves an 8.

Among those transmogging gear and more monsters need to be added and most certainly will be. This game deserves game of the year, I don't think any game will come close in terms of over all quality for a very long time. I am not giving it a perfect score for a couple of reasons. It took them nearly a month to fix the multiplayer connectivity issues (something that would have been solved if they had a beta on Xbox as well). Also all the cosmetic exclusives they keep giving Sony is a bit insulting considering the Xbox One X is a far superior piece of hardware and deserves that love as well. Overall that is a bit nit-picky. Expand

    - Overall I loved the game, I have only sunk around 35 hours into it so I feel like I have barely scratched the surface, but from what I have learned I love the creature designs, character customisation, the combat is alright, but the reactions from the monster are incredible. The fact that animals interact fully with their environment in battle is impressive, that you have to chase them throughout the map...
    The entire game is worth the time and the fact you get a kitty cat as a pal is my favourite part!

    This was my first Monster Hunter game and I freaking love it. It's graphically amazing, has some of the best bosses in any video game and has amazing gameplay. When I first bought this game I wasn't too big on it. After playing it again recently I've started to realize how amazing this game really is. This is one of my favorite games of all time.

    I've never been a particularly devout fan of the Monster Hunter franchise. I've only played one other entry which was on PSP. Having said that, Monster Hunter: World is, quite simply, excellent.

Even though I haven't played the game in two or three months I'm still thinking about it, I still want to play it. The controls are smooth, the story while rather thin is still interesting, the crafting is varied and aesthetically pleasing. It is just a great game in almost every way. Plus, not a single loot box or microtransaction. Expand

    Played on PS when first released and played again on Xbox via Xbox game pass. just finished main story. This is not a story based game. The story is about introduce you to the monster which you fight again and again. very in depth game. may look cute but a lot strategy. game well produced and a few micro transactions but only cosmetic. worth a buy

    The Game is beautiful
    Every monster gives you a unique fight and is worth fight.
    With 14 weapons to choose from which all are unique and are useful, you can use every weapon against every monster and win the fight if you know what you are doing.

    Monster Hunter World a a hard game to get into, but once you are, you get hooked. Especially the gameplay is just perfection. But you have to like the japanese style. Overall rating: 8.7.

    To be honest, I loved this game. Yes, the multiplayer is garbage on x-box, but I just played most of the game solo, that's one problem solved. Other people might have an issue with the multiplayer, but for me it's just mildly inconvenient. The combat took getting used to, but was easy to get the hang of.

I really liked the monsters (except lavasioth. Lavasioth can burn in hell) and weapons (aside from great-sword and dual-blades), but I feel like the base game's final boss kind of sucks ass. Overall, it's a great game bogged down by technical issues, the lack of a pause button, and lavasioth. Feck lavasioth. Expand

    One of my all time favorite games. I’m giving it a 10 not because it is a perfect game but because it is peak monster hunter. Yes the story is terrible, yes the menus led are clunky and online is rough. But my word if this isn’t the best monster hunter experience you can have! This game is a must and a great entry point for new players.

    I'm gonna be honest I couldn't play the game because I had to sit through all the cutscenes. When they add that I can skip cutscenes then I'll finish the game.

    Following on from some of the reviews, I thought this game would be really boring. But it’s so well done and addictive, that I’m now 1000 hours in and still going strong . And I haven’t even played iceborne yet. I just wish there were more layered armor‘s available earlier on in the game.

    Been a fan since MHFU and world brings a lot to the table in innovation! The graphics and gameplay are stepped up from previous installments, the life and world in monster hunter never has felt so alive my only small gripe is some of the weapon designs feel uninspired compared to older titles

    Charming, beautifully odd, if a little taxing, this hunter will devour your nights.

    The most engaging game in the franchise. If you’ve been sitting on the Monster Hunter fence for awhile, this is the best chance to experiment and give it a try.

    Monster Hunter: World captures that feel of hunting, and despite its technical quirks and poor design decisions, if you've got a group of friends to play with it comes highly recommended. If you're running solo, you might be better waiting for a sale.
