World vs Rise to start with a friend?

[Ayaya]

Hey folks! Can you please rell me which is better to get in with a friend to explore? We're tight on money so we can't really try both ;)

[Mage Hand, Wizard Brand]

Rise. World only if you don't mind the dumb system of having to solo watch a cutscene before you can hunt the monster together

[cees09]

World but with Iceborne dlc included... If you can't afford the dlc, then pick whichever you want. Both are good games with different gameplay types.

[Zed]

World (With Iceborne ofc) hands down.

Rise is better if you just want to jump in and play with your friend
Doing multiplayer in World for the first time makes you feel like you're pulling out teeth

[Bort]

I like World better as a game. But Rise is much better for co-op. Not even a contest.

Well, the clear answer in your situation would be World/Iceborne since it's cheaper than Rise lol.

I would say Rise right now is the better introduction, the real game with actual armor and weapon as opposed to how the demo was.

Base World I'd say makes for a great follow up after Rise and then finally Iceborne, if you both run out of things to do in both Rise and Base World.
Iceborne is, Pretty Hard let's just put it that way, it's awesome, but it's quite hard, so in a order of introduction I would say to save it for last.

Based on that statement of yours: go Monster Hunter: World - that is from someone who loves Monster Hunter Rise more than Monster Hunter: World.

Main argument is you are tight on money. You clearly get easily more content from a good deal out of MHW, while MHR is ~ really , really awesome.

General advice: ask yourself if you can afford Monster Hunter Rise twice. If you cannot afford it twice, it is most likely you should not try to afford it at all.

You'll get more content with world since the iceborne dlc is out and complete, but the deco grind in that game is terrible.

And I like the addition of mounts and objectives appearing on the map in rise so you can just quickly get to the action.

I personally prefer rise, but you'd probably get more bang for your buck if you got world: iceborne.

Both games are awesome but here is my view

If you prefer acadey like and fast paced instant action with minimum story and cutscenes? Go Rise

You want immersion, graphics, cut scenes and stories and big maps with searching for tracks of monsters? Go World but take Iceborne as well.

You really cannot go wrong with either and should you become a serious dig monster hunter, you probably will get a copy of the one you did not initially purchase anyway.

Rise for co-op.

I actually enjoyed the deco grind. Yes, it does take very long to get the ones you need but i just love the grind. When its so rare and you get it it feels good. But i can definitely understand its not for everyone.

rise makes it easier to play with people you dont have to start all quest solo like you do in world iys also the current game and has a dlc coming out this summer. world/ib is a complete game you will get more for you $.

World. Much cheaper if you find a discount. Also much better game as well.
