Is this like bams on Tera?

[Spindles]

I played Tera back in the day when it still had a sub, I loved killing bams there.

Is this game kind of like that, including the action combat aspect.

I used to play Tera back then so maybe i can provide you with some info regarding this.

Tera and MH's combat is quite similar as they are both active free roam. As regards to the BAM department, that's basically all MH is about.

In MH you are dropped in a zone(Much larger areas in this game than previous)similar to Tera's and hunt a specific monster(Sometimes multiple)carve it's parts for equipment upgrades, rinse and repeat. It may sound repetitive, which it is but that's the fuel that drives the die hard MH fans. Once you get that final rare drop for that final piece of equipment you've been tirelessly pursuing it gives such a sense of achievement few games of this genre can provide. That's the MH magic.

I'd say not, this isn't the usual MMORPG type of game. The action combat is there, but it's also not the same in traditional MMO's, like, you don't get skillbars, your character flinches when you get hit (or flies depending on how strong the attack is), which means you can't hit back obv lol, dodging and knowing the monster's moves and weak spot is key, there are no stats like "str/agi etc", i could say a lot more, but to make it short, yeah it's not like that, but it has action so yeah lol, can't wait for this to come out!, hopefully we don't get any kind of problems on launch~ (i just jinxed it but whatever lol)

Great thanks, put it on my wishlist read for launch!

Yeah I've played both MHW and Tera. The feeling you get from hunting the monsters is similar to solo'ing a BAM, espeically if you are under leveled. It is pretty exciting and a lot more detailed of an experience than in Tera, without feeling too foreign or having to learn a ton of new inputs.

BAMs were a lot of fun to fight in Tera. But, this is pretty different. The game play in monster hunter tends to be much more deliberate, kind of like the Dark Souls series where you have to plan out your attacks more carefully then usual so you won't get hit, but its also more forgiving then the Souls series. I think this one is more actiony then the older games though.

If you wanna know more while waiting I would recommend you to play the Monster Hunter games for PSP (Freedom unite or Portable 3rd). Obviously is not gonna be the same but some mechanics are still there, so you get more familiarized with the gameplay so you are not entirely lost when you start to play the game on release.
