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?

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

Forgot about this, the i frames in elden ring are so much more forgiving than in MH

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

Neither of those were worth mentioning

I forgot they existed until now.

It was also a super accurate description by them, "didnt have the time for AR300 monsters" because of the amount of trash you had to fight through to get there. Ar300 isnt difficult cause of the monsters themselves, its difficult cause how much trash are you willing to clear to get here

dodging with swords and hammers fighting enemies that don't die in 3 hits? It's gonna get compared to souls games. You already know how gamers are.

Difficulty? Soulslike
Bosses? Soulslike
Action RPG? Soulslike

Its not unfounded, but its inaccurate. The boss fights are of the same persuasion, but MonHun games dont have the same core loops. Monster Hunter is fundamentally a boss rush style game vs darksouls where there is a fairly large exploration and "gaining territory" component to the game.
