No story or is it just me? does it come later on?

After playing for a few hours I just noticed that we're not really hunting anything in a sense and that the monsters are just there waiting to be killed and I also noticed that they removed the meeting scenes for monsters which I thought was really cool and awesome... kinda sad tbh

They seem to have replaced the more personal/immersive meeting scenes with scenes based on the stories told by the person that's singing.

I'm okay with it, but prefer the former.

That was one of the reason I got hooked on world, meeting those gigantic monsters and knowing I'll hunt it after said scene.

The story part is more in the DLC than the base game, besides the whole stopping the rampage thing

Because all devs wanted with Rise was to cash in, that is why the game feels like an unfinished rushed turd.

I was really looking forward to this because of my experience with world, the only problem with world was the cut scenes. I experienced the combat mechanics of this game and was excited because it was smooth and more fluid than in world. Excitement died down really fast.

MW games never have a story outside of '' look a monster kill it '' thats it lol even in MHW it was super bare bones

But hey, I played older MH like 3, Gen, Gen Ultimate etc and there wasnt storlyane too, so where is a problem? Thats not a story game, its game about killing big monsters .-.

But there's a reason why world was played hell of a lot because there was a "sense" in it, engaging story no matter how small the plot creates replayability. Monster Slaying is the core of the game and I'm not having any issue with it, just that it kinda move backwards in terms of progression of the series.

And I played hours on hours with world and you probably did too right? Because progression made sense, new things were introduced and stuff were being laid out (except for cut scenes that sht was dumb)

I understand where you're coming from, but you have to understand that Monster Hunter World is an outlier. As was already said, MH games are never about the story or tying the gameplay progression to it. That's why MH Rise is very light on story, because that's how this series works. World was an experimental game, time will tell if they will continue to feature the same kind of leading narrative in the next games. I feel like they will since it doesn't make the game any worse and seems to please some newcomers.

Should try MH4U then.
Still the best MH story to date

That's actually a pretty good point. While the story in that game still wasn't featured so prominently or it didn't tie it's game play so closely to is as in World, the narrative for the first part of the village quests is definitely compelling. It's actually pretty impressive how much personality they managed to give to both the main cast and the flagship monster with so little narrative.

Hope they really do, World was so much fun for me and my itch for the same game is kinda unbearable. *Sigh

World was played a lot definately not because of the story. Hell, most people hated the story and how it got in the way.

i'm not suprised if MH no story cuz back in the day it has none,sunbreak will have story later on though
