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

if you want a harder game play Rise.

Lmao. Rise is even easier than Wilds with all the wire bugs making it so you can pretty much outmaneuver every single monster in the game. Iceborne is probably what you are looking for if you want to recommend a harder modern game. Other than that GU is probably the best old school MH game for people who hopped on from World/Wilds.

Played for 100's of hours but says there's only 15 monsters.

How to tell people you haven't played Sunbreak endgame without telling it

Might not have. Because slogging through 30 hours of monsters who can't hit you because you can just zip away at will, thus negating three weapons in the game, is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boring, most players quit well before it.

I finished the main story to the end in sunbreak and a little bit of early endgame. Couldn't be asked to grind sunbreak since i found it so easy.

IIrc the only thing adding difficulty in Sunbreak endgame is the fact monsters can now almost one shot you with normal moves. Sounds very "challenging" indeed.

People really play games differently,im on 80s hours in and have just begun act 6,having fun with trying different weapons and other stuff.Playing this beyond 80 hours when the game is just released may not work for everyone.Recommend playing elden ring with dlc if bosses are to easy here or grind diablo 4 til your thumbs bleed or poe 2.

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

That's what still gets me about people who make that claim, the game's still new enough that having 100 hours in it already means they've been playing for about 10 hours every day so far, that's pretty much all the time someone could put into it assuming they work a full-time job and get a relatively normal amount of sleep each night. And putting that kind of time into something you're actively disliking seems nuts.

Not only adults play games tho, and even then we still have adults that are on college with barely any responsibility besides studying.
I also think playing 100 hours to realize you didn't like it is very fair, i would say it's more fair than playing 5 hours and complain the game sucks.

I whoever think people just need to let things go, sometimes people play things that they know they don't enjoy but keep playing just to write their opinions like if the world would care, maybe it's a generation problem.
Everyone want to show how much they liked or hated something, and most of people are so irony poisoned nowadays that hating something is usually the cool thing to do.

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.

or, maybe, It's just that this is the wrong MH for him. maybe he should actually try world or rise (if he liked this game's combat, rise might be a bit closer to home)

[Sexxy]

it is what it is. maybe next game will be better.

IT WAS JUST RELEASED FOR FK SAKE...

Yes, it was just released and people actually are finished, even NEW players. This just show how both easy AND lacking of content and lacking of actual grind the game is. you do know there's such a thing as Too much Streamlining? Did you know that the game's peak Player base on steam is already down to 758K from 1.3 million in just one week?

[Powercrank]

this game will likely have a chilling effect on the future sales of the franchise. when your highest selling product is also one of your worst, that means that most people will have their opinion on the franchise shaped by said worst product.

the fact that so many people are being critical of MHW even during the honeymoon phase is an extremely bad sign.

[Sai]

1. Cool. Write a better one?

2. Yep that's how monsters work. They have a set moveset.

3. When event quests come in more quantity there will be challenging fights for interesting rewards similar to previous iterations of the games.

4. Complete all the achievements. Make a fashionable wardrobe. Learn every weapon if you want? Even with 100 hours you won't have mastered a single weapon. You'll be ok, or even good at one, but not mastery.

Once you reach end-game it's just farming to min-max your build, but you realize there's no point in doing so because every monster is a cakewalk

I don't even mind how easy it is now to get the decos that you wanted, but they could've put a wall or two in high rank or post-post story, to at least justify actually farming for gear...

I recommend playing World/Iceborne since the post-game bosses actually require you to farm gear and not get hit.
