MH vs Dark Souls

[imsouporcereal]

I had a someone try to convince a friend to play MH by saying, “It’s like Dark Souls but monsters.”

Am I crazy or is this a really bad comparison?

Hardest encounters in GU are the EX Deviants. You'd say they are harder than Promised Consort Radahn?

Maybe solo. But as a group, no shot.

Is there a way to do Promised Consort Radahn with a four man group?

Only with mods. But as a group i imagine it'd probably be even easier than solo

Monster Hunter exsited long before Dark Souls. So yeh kinda not a fair comparison.

Makes you wonder. If someone never played dark souls before, how would people compare it to?

It was really different at the time, which is why so many of us bashed our heads against Kut-ku like complete morons. When Dark Souls finally hit the scene, it was like "oh, it's like Monster Hunter but you fight humans or something".

It used to be accurate. Given that they were both largely about boss fighting and careful deliberate input that punished spamming. Along with heavy environmental story telling.

World started to deviate, and with Wilds the comparison is essentially void.

Listen mate im not enough of a niche gamer to have played GU back in the day, if older monsters are harder than worlds then i guess that just proves my point more.

Solo fatalis is harder than consort (i forgot his new name before) radahn, with or without cheese. In a group fatalis is definitely harder as (assuming you are the host) your mates dying wont fail you the fight in radahn. Plus a lot of radahns damage can be negated by the golden braid

Yeah but it's just one fight lol. That's the problem with MH.

They add like 2 fights that are hard, the rest is fodder.

Feels like a waste of time every time I get these games after all is said and done.

Overall I'm getting more thrills from souls games.

I'll agree that mh definitely needs more high tier fights. Rise had nothing, and world only had fatalis, alatreon, and imo raging brachydios. I think arch tempered velkhana is nearing it too but not quite

I guess you skipped the Apex in rise and didn't have the time for AR300 monsters.

just say 'it's like dark souls but fun', wait until you can confirm people are arguing, then leave

I must be the only that thinks Dark SOuls (Non DLC bosses) where bad af with the etxeption of some DS3 bosses.

I only seen Dark Souls as hard because of the journee to bosses.

Yep, you are the only ultimate master of Dark Souls, and what's more, the entire internet 100% believes you boss...

I aint wrong.

People die alot more on the way to bosses then actually fighting bosses.... lmao

Nah, Dark souls is harder than MH. The fights are shorter because they test you harder. They are more intense.

MH allows you to heal 20+ times and die 3 times per battle. But it's also more lenient in many more ways. MH is more about endurance.

Sorry, No. You're not being tested harder. There's no endurance test at all. Only iframe roll tests in DS.

ER added jump testing, but still wasnt endurance.... lol

Souls Games are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ easy. I have over 1k hours in them. You're all just bads who restrict your builds based on what streamers tell you is honorable or whatever. Blasphemous blade literally just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ exists in elden ring. Yes let me just half the bosses HP bar and refill my own now, for free. Let me summon a mimic tear with this same broken ass weapon too.

Ds 1 and 2 had all of the sorceries to carry you if you struggled.

Ds 3 was just piss easy in general except for Ariendel and Friede oh god that ♥♥♥♥ was great.

These games are only as hard as you make them for yourself. They use the difficulty as a marketing tactic when they are legit about just abusing very bad AI with very broken mechanics to make you feel like a very very smart boy.

Look my only counter argument to Elden Ring's difficuty is that the Blasphemous Blade exists.

Meh, I did like 20 runs of randomizer in that game. People should come talk when fighting EB in margit arena. You'll die more then Malenia due to gravity....

If you need to randomize it to be difficult, then it's not difficult tho.

Neither of those were worth mentioning
