[El_Verdugo]

It depends on what you got bored of in Dauntless. I haven't played Dauntless, but I've got 500 hours in MHW. Dauntless is a similar game, but generally considered the weaker of the two.

I could give some more detailed info about this game, or help make clear comparisons if you tell me what you did/didn't like about Dauntless.

Everything about MHW is better than dauntless. You got a lot more weapon types, the weapons themselves are much more complex and have a higher skill ceiling, the combat system also is vastly superior and is much more skill demanding, there is more monster variety, more content, gameplay itself is much more polished. Also the general production values are much, much better here.

The loop is still the same. You go into a maps, find monsters and kill them. Then you can proceed to kill stronger monsters and craft better gear. This is not a game for people with short attention spans or seeking quick gratitude. This is a long term investment focused on mastering your weapons, the monsters, and the combat system itself.

Dountles is based on monster hunter.
It tries to make the genre more accessible becouse it has easy to use weapons and easy to time doging. Basicly dountless plays more like boss rush standard action game.
Monster hunter wepons are more methodical and each one feeals completly diferent and the monsters also feal more natural and hit like a truck. Monster hunter feals less like a hack and shalsh action game and more like its acualy its own thing.
Id say its similar to dark souls style combat but still its more diferent than most action game.
Monsters are jsut more memorable than in dountless and the enviroments are not as lifeless as in dountles.

MHW cause u can't get banned and there are some very good skin mods.

MHW without any doubts. Period.

Dauntless is essentially "We're going to make PC MH!" followed by "Yeah, we kinda give up since MH is now on PC, so heres 5 monsters bye"

I got bored after a couple hours of Dauntless but have about 1,000 hours of MHW played across PC and console.

I dont know maybe that there was like stages instead of a world. And only very few bosses.
I think something i dont like is killing the same boss over and over an over again MHW has too much grinding the same bosses? Since repetitive bosses is not something i like to much. I played an old pirate version to test it and thats when my doubt appeared i like to try the game for free before deciding to buy it and is expensive in my country thats why its a huge investmen for me. With $700 (1500 no discount) i can eat for 2 weeks with that cash :)

I played Dauntless for just under a week and ran out of stuff to do. Levelled up all the armours, the weapons I had interest in and fought all the behemoths many times. My whole group got very bored of this game in just around 5 days. Dauntless seriously needs more content.

yeah its a symptom of being a new IP, i guess the best comparison one could do is, is dauntless better than Monster hunter for PS1?

There is some grinding of the same boss if you want to make an armor set and weapon from the creature, but there are (I think) 34 unique monsters in this game, with more to come in the next expansion in the winter. Some are basically re-skins of each other (Rathian, Rathalos, Pink Rathian, Azure Rathalos), but they have different speeds, strengths, and a few unique moves to each color. You'll at least have much more variety than Dauntless can offer.

There's also more weapons in MHW, offering plenty of new ways to fight the monsters.

You'll also get better at tracking and finding monsters, which can remove the boring part of a hunt. You go from "Where in this entire damn forest is that thing?" to "Oh, Pukei? He's at his favorite nest in sector 11. I'll drop at the nearby camp and be chopping him to bits in under 30 seconds."

I guess it really depends if you're against grinding, or if the other games have simply been a boring grind. MHW is a fun grind. Beautiful world to run through, lots of cool monsters, plenty of fun weapons, tools, and traps to make use of. It certainly wasn't nominated as GotY for being bad.

The grind for Dauntless is garbage. Artificially inflated for no other reason than being F2P with low monster count. Cant rebind face buttons on controller; like you could when the game was on STEAM. They even broke the player made work around, so throws off muscle memory for MonHun. It's and arcade Budget Hunter. Hard Pass.

The beginning part of Dauntless is similar to beginning in MHW. If OP got bored in two hours in Dauntless - s/he will get bored in MHW as well.
