Are MH games fun solo?

[Pushup]

Never playeda MH before but was curious about trying out Wilds. Can you get cool gear and rewards playing solo? Or is it basically impossible unless you're a MH God?

[Velber]

going from the beta yea it can be, rise was since it let you have AI companions for hunts, and in World you had your palico and the tailraider comapnions/animals, though there were some late game monsters that you would have probably been better off doing multiplayer to fight, though fighting with randoms sometimes just made you, or the entire team, fail the quest faster so overall yes but we have yet to see until wilds comes out and we see the endgame content

[Terron]

Absolutely. All my hours split among many monster hunter games and 90 percent of them are completely solo. Great series.

You can very easily play Monster Hunter without others, in fact I encourage you to do so (without the defender gear in World if you play world). So, if you play World, what's gonna happen is that you're probably gonna breeze through each monster until you get to Anjanath. That is your first REAL wall, and that's when the game really begins. Just make sure to learn to use your iframes well, and learn the dance of each monster.

Here I am talking about World, but really, a lot of people also liked the more fast paced action that was in Rise, especially with the Sunbreak DLC.

Both World and Rise are VERY cheap right now, so I recommend just picking one of them up and going to town. The reason I think playing solo first is important is because you're proving to yourself that you can handle yourself with that monster fight and you're not being carried. Also, you'll be a better hunter when you do decide to play multiplayer.

Once you get online. Solo is just so plain lonely and boring. The ai will greatly help with that.

The randomness is what make it truly fun. You can show your fashion there and skill there. See people carts always fun from time to time,

Sure but the game is better playing with friends.

I've played 90% of my time in Monster Hunter solo across 4U, GU, Worldborne, and Risebreak. I'll likely spend the majority of my time solo in Wilds as well. It's absolutely doable without being a MonHun God

[Corrupt-nz]

yes

[TwitchDeathlyArrows]

As a mh veteran played all there games i can proudly say .... yes 100% solo can be fun

Always been a solo player until a while ago. It's always been possible to play solo and it's only gotten easier to do so as the series has progressed. World has, like, 4 monsters meant to be fought with a full party? And 2 of them still have solo scaling to my knowledge so you can still do them on your own. Rise doesn't have anything like that, nothing is explicitly designed for a full party

Even after playing the entirety of Worldborne with a friend... It's not really an insanely different experience or anything. I wouldn't even say it was worth it until the late-game, once we finally got past all the unskippable cutscenes that you're forced to watch before you can play with other people

You can ♥♥♥♥ around with the people you're playing with (if they're cool with it), if either of you have widespread you can pseudo-support each other... Otherwise, it's just the same game but now the monsters are a bit more unpredictable because they might just switch target when you least expect them to, but they also die faster because you have two or more people out-putting a ton of DPS

I exclusively play solo unless my bestie wants to play, so yea they're pretty fun.

[Smug Kot]

fun solo, better with friends and chaotic with randoms.

[MadManx]

100%. I solo'd World and when you want to group for a hunt the group finder is very easy and quick to do.

Any casual gamer should be able to beat the main story of any MH game. The endboss is naturally 3 times harder then Bowser from Mario, but with some effort doable. Once the story is beaten, the optional postgame is another story though, as it can be 100 times harder than fighting Bowser, especially the last 7 bosses or so, so that's reserved for the "MH gods"

I find it's at its best with 1 hunting partner who will build with you, but yeah you can absolutely play and enjoy most of MH solo.

[Uzkniso o.o]

They are. I played Rise/Sunbreak solo the entire time, 1k+ hours. Had a blast.
