Is it worth buying as a brand new player

[blood_4_bullets]

I've heard all the talk bout MH Rise on the horizon. But as I don't have a switch is it worth waiting for the PC version to release or is this product worth the $90aud with icebourne expansion?

I don't want to really spend that type of money if I'm too late to the MH World party per say

Try out the rise demo that should be coming out on the 9th (just tomorrow)

I've found no info on a demo for the PC? Only on switch which I don't have. Hence why I wasn't sure if I should just get MH World this late into is life cycle

I think there are some logistical problems with that.

MHW is still played a lot by other players mid-to-late game. You could even find someone early sometimes. And even solo it's still a great game. In many aspects, like graphic and map size Rise seems to be "diet MHW" so it could actually end up being the worse game of the 2.

MHW is arguably the best game for brand new players due to the plethora of qol improvements from weapon movesets and handling, along with item management, harvesting, and farming.

well theres still over 50k players playing this on steam in the past 24hr so it doesnt seem dead yet. you might be late to the game but it definitely isnt a ghost town (except for arena quests, those have always been deserted)

Don’t wait for too long since there is nothing confirmed yet, only rumors.

Not sure how this helps as I don't have a switch to play this on

[StarExile]

Yep

was on sale for $64AUD for the iceborn deluxe edition and i've been wanting this game for a while to try and finally caved, and absolutely love it. owned it for just under a week now playing mostly solo just going through story stuff but i'm very easily distracted and just been going out exploring and killing things, and there's still a heap of game i havent even touched yet. So it's completely up to you man, but from beginners point of view i'm enjoying it alot.

If you do manage to get it mate, hit me up.

Out of curiosity, why did you wait for the exact day after the winter sale ended to go shopping for games?

[Zand]

This game is 100% worth the money. Where else can you get 1000+ hours of entertainment for less than $100? And being a little selfish I would like more people in Aus to have the game for more SoS and multiplayer fun.

As for Rise there are pretty credible leaks about a PC port, whether its 6 months or a year later I dont know, but Capcom would have to be crazy not to release it on PC after the MASSIVE success World was on PC. They would get the same PC only crowd that they gained and the many double dippers buying it on Switch and PC.

doubt rise will be anywhere near as good as world.

in terms of mechanic and monster i think rise will be on par with MHW
but in terms of graphic, yeah, MHWI is on another level compared to Rise
