Does co-op work right from the start ? or is it like world where i gotta watch cut scenes

[WhoIsThisDuffin]

just wondering since world ruined my co-op exp with needing to watch cut scenes throughout the whole campaign. I want a clean co-op exp where we can boot the game and just play together without needing to do extra steps.

Link party is fine, but enviroment link prevents most story as cutscenes are unavailable during enviroment link. Same with zone swapping.

If you dont watch Cutscenes why bother Playing a Video Game.... Go Play Chees with your Friend or any other Offline Boardgame.

This is quite literally the worst coop experience ive ever had. Its basically 10 minutes of coop and then 5 minutes of cutscenes and 2 minutes of menus for another 10 minutes of coop.

If you want to play coop dont bother for a while, maybe they will fix it in a few patches.

i want a co-op game where we all can play the game together and watch the cut scenes together but if it forces you to not be able to play together because we need to always stop to watch these cutn scenes by our selfs then re-party every time its annoying system and you are right why bother saves $100

Why are they doing this again like World did? everyone complained about it. It was clunky and bad. Them, Rise came along and we didn't have those issues, and everyone could watch the cutscenes together...now we are back to this broken system where we start our mission and all watch cutscenes, then re-party?

if i wanna watch cutscenes i will start netflix or hbo, not steam.
monster hunter is not for stories. nobody cares about the story.
what we CARED about whas the exploration before a monster hunt, gathering track, intel, etc. and they deleted that and added some C grade excuse of a story with lots of "autoplay" where you had to follow an npc, which wasnt automatic, so you can just afk, but you had to actively press the forward button the whole time and could do nothing else.
oh sometimes you had to "look" at something.
the endgame is fun, but boy was the main quest a torture session.
they also managed to introduce an npc who was nothing but a douche the whole time so majority of people hate him, and his whole sob story.
for stories go play "life is strange", and not monster hunter.
what is next, "main quests" in FIFA?

i enjoyed the story in gothic, skyrim, witcher, etc.
NOT on games like monster hunter, or elden ring, dark souls, etc.

Its like World, but worse, as you have to slowly walk and watch cutscenes to get to the next monster. And as people keep saying, every story bit is "you look for a monster with everybody while listening to a reasonably uninteresting story with uninteresting characters, a monster appears!, you fight the monster"...this is the first MH where I have skipped all the later cutscenes and missed nothing...Come back handler, all is forgiven :D

Actually, it could have been interesting. Make the kid go through a "I want to be a hunter and defend my village" arc, slowly helping you on fights until they become a full assist NPC in their own right, or something...

I also lament the complete lack of investigations - you just slow walk instead

At first Rise has an even worse problem of the low rank story missions being relegated to single player ONLY, then they drop it and do what you say for HR/MR.

They have never had a good implementation of co-op for low rank and it's honestly baffling because they clearly know how to do it, they just don't.
