People came back to world

[Mulyono]

Why does MHW player count being rised up again, Rise cant even hold the player for long like world. is that because rise wasnt fun and doesnt have enought content for a switch games?

[JPM岩]

It because World sold 20million copies, and people are drawn to play their first MonHun title than other titles, it's literally just Nostalgia Goggles. A lot of folks were upset they couldnt transfer their progress from World to Iceborne so they didnt move on, others liked the modding scene's progression in World, some just dont like mechanics of Rise.
For the most part tho, it's players just not wanting to move on because World was their first title, and they rather not learn new systems.

What JPM said, a lot of people just find it hard to switch games, and because it sold more there's more people pointing others to World rather than Rise. It also helps that whenever it goes on sale it's really cheap, considering that there was a sale not too long ago.

Another thing that impacted rise was that the pandemic HEAVILY affected its development years ago so the game was released in a pretty unfinished state and that affected people's perception of it to this day sadly.

Rise DOES have more content then world though? It being a switch game first doesn't change that its on PC to.

Rise's player base is also going up a little bit in the past couple months.

"Hard to switch game", "World sold more, that's why".
Did you guys even wonder for a second why world sold more? hmmmm, It must be the discounts. But oh, World was more popular since it's release, before all the discounts. So it must be something else, but surely not because World has more depth and overall a more complete game, surely not that,... right?

Rise was designed for handhelds and it shows. And don't bring "learning new system" because Rise is even more simplified than the older ones. Literally the same as the older ones Pressing two buttons to skip everything needed on older series is not what I call learning new system.

Guys, it's fine if you like a more arcade-y game like Rise, it is still a good game, it is still a better game than all those overpriced and unfinished AAA games, and still enjoyable even if you have played World. I mean, it is still Monster Hunter. BUT World is just more complete and that is a fact. From the graphics, the immersion, etc. Very noticeable even since the first cutscene. It baffles me how you guys trying to argue, that a game that was designed for PC and home consoles where people usually sit for hours somehow has less to offer than a game designed for handhelds which in these days usually correlated with shorter gametime.

Both games are great. Monster Hunter is great. Not enough MonHun to play.

Can't wait for this childish argument to develop even further once MH6 comes out and then it'll become World vs Rise vs 6

[rushy]

Both are good but, it feels like rise is missing something. I'm more drawn to Worlds game play & the worlds itself, it feels more alive.

I would find it hillarious if it became hardcore World and hardcore Rise fans vs MH6.

The funny thing is, this argument happens every time the next MH game is out.
When MH6 comes out with only High Rank people will not shut up talking about how easy the game is, how the game isn't as good as MHW or MHR, how little content the game has to offer, etc.

Also, Tresh, I hope you're having a good time playing GU

I am, Malfestio is my new favorite monster, kicking Legiana of a long-held throne.
Mizu gave me my first defeat, but considering I was supposed to hunt a Bulldrome, I'm not too surprised. xD

And yeah, I fully expect this argument to repeat itself for as long as the franchise exists. People don't change.

that's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and you know it. people are more than ready to move to new better games. but for many (me included) rise is not better. it is worse in basicaly every area.

I mean... both games are trash as a MH experience... but sure.
One bag of trash can be better than another bag of trash. Still trash tho.

If you get offended by that, it's not my problem.

I don't think it has anything to do with Nostalgia.....

World just looks better and plays better. It's that simple. I'm not saying Rise is bad, I'm currently playing both as I think Rise has better armour and weapon models, and has a more fun hunting horn. World is just a more satisfying, immersive, and has more impact over Rise.

Again, NOT saying Rise is bad.
