Reviews say too easy and only 15 hour story

[Elazul]

Seen multiple reviews calling out this game for being too easy and the story being super short. Wondering what ya'll think of this. I'm on the fence if I want to get this at launch or wait for a sale.

Edit: Gyatt Dayum this thread blew up. Too many people to reply to individually but thanks for all the replies you all have given me things to think about. Going to think it over and decide one way or the other.

2nd EDIT: Decided to pick up the game. See you all in a few hours :D

It will be tempered monster hunts again with rare decorations. Just like World.

Pretty sure world endgame was just deco farming.

Oh yeah, deco farm and the stream stone for weapon augment farm.

Oh well, I guess the true endgame will always come with the "ultimate" version.
Just like always.

i say in 4-6 month we will get something big, like Kulve-Taroth or special event-quest elder dragons.

OOF. Being too easy is the worst kind of news possible. There's nothing worse than playing a braindead easy title made for Journos.

What are the chances the reviewer only finished low rank and thought that was the game?

Both the IGN and Eurogamer reviewers claimed to be have played lots of MH and they both felt the game was too easy and too streamlined.

Maybe, if they put out something as good as extreme behemoth.
I'm happy enough.

reviewers who have played lots of mh are gonna logically find LR to be quite easy, so its not really a wonder why they're calling it such.

I have trust here. Afterall this will be the main Monster Hunter game for the next 3-4 years. The content and challenges will grow like in the last games. I mean, if we are very cruel and make a very unfair comparison, we already get more then MH Rise had on release day 1. Even the story is longer with just the "core quests" in this one.

base games are LR and HR.
expansions are MR.

story doesn't typically end with LR to my knowledge

the only game in monster hunter history to hit you with a "come back in 6 months!" mid-story.

i mean fair but after working your way through lr your gonna be in a groove and isn't especially hard either, at least from personal experince.

i did ask, how long is the Tri story...
i suppose that's padded out with quest prep though so it can't be a fair comparison

Tri had the issue of not know what the key quests were, so you did not know what quests would progress the story. But the story in tri fully ended in low rank.

Tri story is short. What makes the Village segment long is players need to do key quest to unlock the urgent. It's never listed which quest is a key quest. And it's mostly just Guild Girl text dialog.
