Rise singleplayer is easier, but here its more fun with others ;)

Once I make more money I'm gonna pick up a Switch for Rise. Went into Gamestop Store today and the rep there said that he brings his Switch to work and plays Rise on his lunch break. He's addicted to it. He said that he can toggle players to join him if he wants too for online on Rise. I thought about picking this one up on PC but I don't have a controller. Am I better off getting one for this game or is mouse and keyboard still fine?

You should definitely start with Rise! It's about as easy as World but Rise teaches you slowly what Monster Hunter is all about. World can be confusing because it pretends it is an open world game and has too many cut scenes with a little worse voice acting than Rise.

Mouse and keyboard works like a dream

Cool thanks.

Both are good places to start. World is definitely more beginner friendly in a way it introduces new concepts to you. Rise doesn't really do that, it just dumps it all on you with very little tutorial. But if you are not intimidated by complex games and a lot of new mechanics then start with Rise.

I'll have to disagree, I hated World world at first until I played Rise and recently jumped back to World to try it again.

Rise has better gameplay, but I would start with World because of chronological order lol.

What? Rise has so many tutorials that it's actually annoying, but it's very helpful to newer players. Iirc it has more tutorials than World and they explain every thing in good detail if you're willing to read.

Well said. I agree with this. Go with Rise first.

Because Rise's tutorial was literally "run here and talk to this person" OVER AND OVER for like 30 minutes... In both World and Rise, you mostly either learn as you go or devote some time to the training yard to build and hone your skills for weapons. It's not something that can be taught in a matter of seconds via tutorial. Neither did.

Either way, Rise is DEFINITELY more beginner friendly. Bowgun builds don't need to peer over custom mods for a proper build. Deco's can be crafted instead of rolled. Talismans have a much better chance of unlocking your desired. I had a "god-tier" (as YouTube is calling it) talisman for my switch axe build before I was even half way through high rank, which gave me Rapid Morph 2 and Flinch Free 1 and two level 2 deco slots. We're talking chances in the 30 percentile instead of the super crappy 0.03 to 3 percentiles we see for a lot of worthwhile decos via Elder Melder. Armors are far better in terms of skills. I can wishlist a specific build in a matter of minutes instead of peering at the armor forgery screen for half an hour sifting through all the crit eye and resistance base skills which accomodates 90% of armor in World.

The hardest part of Rise is grinding the materials for said items, which still isn't bad as long as people actually pay attention to part percentages in their notes and listen to the host of the hunt. A lot of people coming from World bring over their "capture EVERYTHING" mentality, which simply doesn't work in Rise. In Rise, you actually need to know what you want and how to get it. Capturing a monster for a literal carve only item completely wastes your time and your hunt. It's why most grind for me is done solo.

Rise is not a bad starter, not nearly as fun or as satisfying (visuals or audio) as World, but can still be thoroughly enjoyed. Neither are a bad choice to start with. Just have fun whichever you pick. Worst case scenario, you pick up World in a few weeks / months and can enjoy both, like I do!

[SnowBlack&D7BBC]

Just buy Rise... The maps and pacing are better... I will never forgive World for wasting 2 hours of my life looking for the first Wyverian because World's map design is Crap

I'd personally say start with Rise, simply because its active af and you'll always have a full lobby within a couple minutes for any hunt. I'd suggest enjoying the player count heyday while you can. Rise is also less punishing.

But theres a 69 side of that coin.

MHW may be somewhat less appealing after playing Rise due to MHW having somewhat less interesting combos and the added chore of having to clutch claw tenderize/weaken parts in order to deal any meaningful damage.

Dont get me wrong, I LOVE mhw and as of now, there is far more things to do in MHW. World is also a prettier game and imo the combat is more fluid. But MHW is also a harder game rn and has a harder climb to endgame.
