story is pretty weak

[deagle44mag]

first ever MH game - I just cant seem to understand why I care about helping a random kid that got his tribe dunked on by a random big monster.

[deagle44mag]

its my first MH game so my expectations for story are pretty low tbh but I can agree like someone else mentioned the main characters are annoying.

The other problem with the game is very basic loop. Kill monster - watch cutscene - go to camp - upgrade / prep for next hunt - rinse and repeat till i am assuming the end of the game.

I'll finish the game since i dropped 50 bucks on the steam key but honestly this game kind of seems pretty sloppish right now unless there is some kind of a crazy end game that I havent touched yet

It has its spurts. For every interesting moment, it's ruined by some sappy stuff (and not just Nata, everyone's a dumbass in this game :P).

@deagle44mag
There's no crazy end game... as of the title update you Kill Zoh Shia again and boom, its over. Then it's just farm him and armor spheres over and over. You can do the Arena stuff, or bowl with barrel bombs... Game lacking content.

Funny you mention the "kind of a crazy end game".
There is likely a good chunk of people that will play through the story (independent of if one things it's good or not - I liked it enough personally) and then drop the game.

But since monster hunter games evolve around "hunter monsters to make their armor set/weapon" and/or "try to hunt monster better", the gameplay does not really fully open up until you are at the end, imo.

And yes - the hardest (variants of the) monsters don't appear until after you played through the story. So it comes largely down to: do you like the process/gameplay of hunting monsters or not.

The joy I feel having skipped everything I could(that wasn't a monster intro) and being on my phone during the walkie scenes.

How to explain to you how desirable it is to bring a refugee home and help them that they no longer need to flee... It is an act of kindness.

i heard that switching to Japanese voiceover makes it more bearable as the emotions you get from the voice acting is closer to its intended effects then the dubbed version

I would not say it is more bearable. It is simply how it is supposed to be.

I played it in original Japanese first and switched then to English. Some characters and expressions do sound cringe in stark comparison. Same goes for French and German.

yeah, the german voice actors are really bad in this game and most of the time they don't fit to the voiced characters

i can totally believe that to be the case.

Even Final Fantasy benefits from original dub

Timestamp 48:04 until 50:44 - the subtitles are crap but suffice for comparing it to the English version

There are a plethora of good English dubs outside of the extremely rare instance where Japan had the English voice actors record their lines first.

It is a good rule of thumb, though. Japanese voice actors tend to act and sound better in their genre of games/visual entertainment.

People play MH for the story?

Yeah the story is pretty bad.

Disagreed.

I think the story is awesome and very touching and epic.

I started a new playthrough just to be able to enjoy the story again.

Wild.

I agree! that's why I explicitly wrote FFXVI. the english is the original dub. the game was dubbed in japanese afterwards. and the english VAs are great in this game

Yes, story-wise I bet they could have made something better using ChatGPT.

The world, lore and ecosystem are interesting, but the actual story is like... bruh.
