Final Fantasy XV or this?

[Kuz]

Overall which one would you recommend the most and which I should play over the other, considering there's a sale going on

Personally I prefer MHW because the combat system of FF XV, though it’s not bad, it’s complicated. It’s more of a quick style combat like Neir but you can’t really smash buttons.

you can easily beat the game by mashing attack and dodge

If you're buying in steam I wouldn't recommend FFXV. Steam version have a stutter problem and Square Enix abandoned it. If you're going to buy FFXV, buy it on windows store. So for your question I'll recommend MHW.

I have not experience any stutter problem, is this common?

Eh, from what I've seen on the steam discussions, it's probably around 50/50. I personally have had very little stuttering, but there are people that claim to have serious stuttering issues when they get into combat with more than a few baddies at once. And it is strictly steam players stating this.

I would personally agree and say get the windows version. Enough have the issue that it's not really worth the risk, imo. I didn't know about that when I bought the steam version, and I'm just glad I never had any issues with it.

It won't happen on the start. Mine started happening mid game. Around chapter 7 or 8. Can't remember because I didn't bother finishing it when I can't find the solution.

Having played both, I'd definitely say MHW is better. FF15 is a roadtrip simulator(complete with boringass driving sequences) and button masher combat.

Calling FFXV button masher combat just shows you didn't really get in depth into the combat. At all. It has quite a bit of timing to the combat with the abilities, dodging, and countering.

Comparing MHW to FFXV is pretty...idk. It doesn't fit very well, they are very different games. FFXV, while it has a multiplayer aspect, is heavily single player focused. You will get a very, VERY story heavy game, with a focus on character development and world building. Especially if you get the edition that includes the DLCs for each of the main characters.

MHW has a pretty dull single player experience, as it has a strong multiplayer focus. There are lots of missions to do, lots of monsters to hunt, but the story itself is almost non-existent--BUT you can play it with your friends.

As a huge Final Fantasy fan, I really enjoyed XV, it was a big improvement from the 13 series, and one of the better FF games released in recent years, aside from the FFVII remake.

If I HAD to recommend one, I would say FFXV because it has fun combat, a compelling story, and it is open world so there is a lot to do. It has typical JRPG sidequests and secrets to find, along with the grind. I preffer singple player games to multiplayer ones, so for me FFXV is an easy pick.

If your preference if multiplayer, you probably want to go with MHW, just because the multiplayer aspect of FFXV is basically dead, and never was a big focus in the first place. Even if you DO go with MHW, I highly recommend giving FFXV a try at some point!

15s combat was ass. Like, its not hard button mashing, but it wasn't much else besides that either.

Story was better then world, obviously(monster hunter never has a GOOD story), but it being told in 3 different mediums, and random side story dlcs really hurt it. From just in game, it has real problems with pacing, with not much happening until chapter 6 or 7, then the game just shoves everything in your face at a crazy pace. Worst FF game in my opinion, if they didn't fragment the story so much, and fixed up all the small issues, it could have actually been great.

Neither of these things address that you will get a TON more time out of monster hunter on average then you would any given FF game either.

Play FF XV's demo, there's at least 3 hours of gameplay there

IMO that game isn't fun, I bought Dragon Quest XI instead and I'm having a blast with it

This presumes that OP is more of a MP gamer than a SP gamer. If you're one that doesn't enjoy MP games as much, I would say you would get more out of any of the FF games than you would MHW; except maybe the bastardization of FF that was the 13 series.

The other thing is how grindy MHW is. I think it's fair to say, that if someone is not okay grinding the same monsters over and over again for mats for hours....well, that would be a pretty big detractor. it is one of the reasons I only play casually here and there--the grind in MHW just takes too long for my tastes--I like to see progression a little faster than MHW.

Just a few things to consider when making a choice.

@alonesilverwolf you are so biased lmfao its almost comical not even you will admit though

[neogeno]

Avoid FFXV and get MHW. FFXV is pretty awful in combat and the story isn't that great either. All it really has going for it is graphics and maybe music. The combat is something that makes you think its really deep but after about 3-4 hours of play, you start to realize just how shallow it is. And it never evolves past that point.

Button masher implies you need to press the button more than once.
