Does this game have any competitive aspect to it?

So for me, I have a few folks that want to play this with me but I usually only lean towards games that have rankings or leaderboards at least. I checked the achivement type for this game and it seems like most of them are just time-gated achievements like finding or killing rare creatures.

Can anyone that's playing right now tell me if there's any place in the game where you get rewards for killing the monster fast? Something built-ingame not having to post your TTK on external web.

Not realy, only ones you make yourself.

MH as a franchise pushes cooperation entirely. It has never had any form of competitive aspect in game. No reason you can't chase biggest\heaviest creatures with your friends, but no. Nothing online, nothing major anyways.

No, since you can literally cheat engine infinite everytuing to yourself in single player game. Thats not competitive.

I mean you can do speed runs that's always a thing rofl

But no, no rewards or competition built in.

you can find toxic lobbies with stupid players that may kick you if you play with non meta builds. insect glaive users are blacklisted by stupid elitists for example. just play with your friends to avoid toxicity.

If you're so hooked on competitive aspects that it can decide a purchase, then competing on external speedrun boards seems like it should be a draw not a detractor.

Regardless, CAPCOM learned their lesson about wasting time creating internal leaderboards way back during Biohazard/Resident Evil 5; the top 50 clear times at any given moment were burner accounts with 0 second clears on every stage and difficulty. Why take the time to code it if people are just going to cheat it and make it pointless?
