First MH Experience: Underwhelming, Easy, Short and Inferior

[Sexxy]

Obviously followed the hype and joined the MH bandwagon. It is my first experience with the series and quite frankly I have to say that the game is very very bland, boring and frankly pathetically easy.

Forget about the performance issues. I run a 4090 gig so I can live with the 2005 graphics and the 100 fps gameplay. lol.

Here are the main things I hated about this game.

1. Story is pathetic. I have never in my life spammed Y on keyboard during a story more frequently. I know I know ... " MH series was never about the story. " or " you don't play MH for the story". I get it. But even knowing that prior to starting the game, I was still baffled as to how trash it was.

2. Is this the game ? 15 monsters on repeat and they do max 4-5 moves ? I played 4 different weapons (longsword, IG, CB, bow) and every boss was a joke.

3. Why does this game have no chase items ? E.g., beat tempered X boss under 2 minutes to get a cool glow or helm or wings or something ? When you play other games within the genre they have a TON more and extensive quest lines that reward the player. It is funny how limited the skins and the variety are in the game.

4. What is the end game in MH wild ? Is it just waiting in the afk room for more content drops ? I am HR 85 and got a full bis gear and gem set farming the same boring and easy tempered arkveld. This is a miserable end game experience.

I ll leave some room for edits. This is all I can think of right now. I ended up spending about 90-100 hours and my final verdict is a thumb down

Yes. Monster Hunter used to be "try and beat Rathalos with a strict set of movements with items you have to farm for hours, good luck" Now it's "never miss, area full of healing items, get NPC helpers"

But it's bought in more players than ever. And they are having fun. So yes, now you wait for the real Monster Hunter experience to come.

That's okay OP, not every game has to be for everyone. Hope you find a game you like better than MH that addresses all your concerns.

[Inuakurei]

Play World. Its the better game atm

[Lightor]

I get this is your first dive into the MH experience and you were excited, but it may turn out that MH just isn't for you. Me and my crew enjoy the fun of hunting the monsters, it's just fun. There may be missing systems that could improve the end game or give you more to chase, but we're just having fun and that's enough for us.

I've not been a fan of the direction this series has taken. It doesn't feel like the series I used to love outside of some game play elements and the constantly returning monsters as memberberries. I honestly think this is one of the weakest entries in the series personally. The new world players will eat this up though so it doesn't matter...

[Takachance]

if you want a harder game play Rise.

everything before g rank is a low rank mission even high rank.

[montybrutals]

use mods to increase difficulty: capcom does this on purpose because they are like Ubisoft; they HATE for people to quit do to difficulty. Blame japan, their players suck ass worse than we do at the game.

[Egon]

sinks a hundred hours into the game and hates it, lmao

[Commissar]

I'm eagerly awaiting the OP to post his hitless sub 5 min tempered gore magala kill to back up his easy claims

[This PC]

Sounds like you got some value for your money still OP.
Though like, World was the same, fairly easy on release, content was expanded upon with some regular monster drops and an expansion. The first MH I played had all the harder content as DLC too, I remember hooking onto my friend's neighbour's open wifi to download Fatalis on mhfu on the psp like 2 decades ago. I think the akantor was a DLC too ? x_x I don't remember.
Every monhun game gets easy once you start mastering your weapon of choice, understand the mechanics and start knowing monster patterns, and it's especially easy if you clear with others.

Nevermind that am not sure arkveld is bis. ;p

[NashDash]

The end game in MH Wilds is you turn it off cuz you didn't like it. The end.

[Joohnyboyy]

You played it for 100 hours... You understand that 99% of the games that aren't MMORPGs are done by that point right?

Also in every Monster Hunter game, the hard content comes after in updates and in the expansion. Master Rank isn't even out yet (highest rank in the game). Go look up videos of Master Rank end game monsters in World like Alatreon and Fatalis and tell me they are easy, they aren't.

Ya once I hit 40 hours and got tier 8 armor and weapons with a few artisians weapons. There was nothing left to do. All my optional's are done. No more quest. Just bleh. Feels like more like a cosmetic dress up game now with a pay wall to dress your character up more. Very pissed I spent 75 bucks on this. Not to mention the lack of optimization of the game as well. I had my tier 1 armor through out the entire game upgrading it with out crafting new armor for anything else. Gunlance with basic armor and that's it.

[Parmak]

To each their own, I had the exact opposite experience and this is actually one of my favorite MH games. I'm saying that as a long time fan too.
