They are all essentially boss fighting games. The only real difference is the souls ones have fodder in between bosses, and i think thats the main comparison that is being asked for

This is interesting - I always loved exploration in between boss fights much, much more than boss fights in DS/BB/ER (open world sucks in ER tho, legacy dungeons ftw).

I just more meant that I've never seen anyone talk about jimbob, randomest of cannon fodder between boss A and boss B. It feels more like they are food for power, where the real comparison between the two is the boss fights. Fatalis is the malenia of monster hunter: world, though quite a bit harder imo, but they'd be the direct comparison just by being the hardest bosses of their respective games

nioh, molten shell, any game in the soulike series that now exists.

they're both combat heavy games, and they both have a focus on "boss killing" but their genres are fairly different.

i would say if you like one you might like the other, for similar reasons, but they aren't that close.

Nioh is just as different as Monster Hunter.

It's mission based instead of being a world you explore and the combat is much deeper with a lot of combos and abilities just like MH.

Me : MH is better!
Also Me : No, Souls is better!

I just can't.

I'm going to say Monster Hunter World is miles better in terms of combat. Better animations, better monsters, less ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and the input system they use is much better. Elden Ring probably has a bit better story and character building. And if Elden Ring actually spent time on combat in development, they could easily beat MHW I think, but instead we got a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ input system the fanbois keep defending, bad hitboxes left and right and weapon animations that simply do not make sense. Elden Ring of course has PvP multiplayer, which is just laggers figuring out which builds are the best at killing unsuspecting players.

[Cpt Obvious]

Some interesting points.

Dark Souls all the way (minus DS2).

[ColonelBaker]

In Monster Hunter the dragon fights are fun.

Monster Hunter was going to be my answer, but then I remembered how shamelessly and aggressively Capcom MTX'd the ♥♥♥♥ out of Rise. That completely killed my interest in the game and I haven't touched it since Title Update 1. I except things to get even worse with MH6.

They should have called it Monster Hunter: Rise of Microtransactions.

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