Dark Souls/Elden Ring vs Monster Hunter

[Cpt Obvious]

Which franchise is better?

[Citizen of Zozo]

The games are too different to compare. Pure opinion.

[Sabaithal]

See the previous. Its like comparing ER to GOW:R. Two totally different games with few similarities.

[zero]

depends on what you want.

they're both heavily combat oriented games but monhuns singular gameplay loop is "kill monster to kill BIGGER monster"

if you're looking for an rpg, elden ring, if your looking for a game you can pick up, play for like an hour or with some friends, then monhun.

I love them both equally for different reasons. The one reason that brings them together is the difficulty.

But, the only game that deserves GOTY every single year since 1997 is Final Fantasy 7.

If you want to kill more bosses, monster hunter as you can kill them over and over again in the same playthrough without starting over again.

If you like exploration, elden ring

Difficulty-wise, early game elden ring is harder than early game monster hunter, but in world specifically, endgame is more difficult than endgame elden ring imo.

If you are looking to co op, monster hunter all the way, its just cleaner, has lobby system.

Visually elden ring all the way

Storywise its much of a muchness.

I think that's Genshin impact actually.

True, my comment is basically from 2017.

Where is the comparison with Gothic?

[justfaded]

There are similarities. Main reason I was hyped for demons souls before it released was because I thought it would be like monster hunter. After mh1, none of the mh games were on a major console and demons souls felt like a spiritual successor.

MH isn't on consoles... hmm, that would explain why I've never touched the series, only started PC gaming seriously 10yrs ago

MH's history has been more handheld biased (Only 1 2 and Tri were on a home console PS2 twice, then the Wii, with an Ultimate/G version of Tri being released on the Wii U), this was mostly due to it being significantly more popular in the Japanese market (which favors portability over most other factors).

Aside from World though most MH titles have been on the PSP or 3DS, though the Switch does have Generations Ultimate and Rise (which is also on other consoles/PC).

Mario vs Elden Ring; both have

Enemies
Secrets
Costumes
Zones punctuated by a major boss
Hidden routes
Mushrooms
Dragons
Destructible environment
Jump

They're practically the same.

There isn't any dragons in Elden Ring. They're all wyverns.
