It is worth it, but Iceborne is basically an entire second game. Iceborne is just that important and great.

This, Iceborne isnt just a DLC its a full blown expansion and has more content than the base game, its stunning.

While the others are recommending both, id say basegame is fine until you want more Monster Hunter.
Main reason? Monster Hunter doesn't mash with everyone, esp if youre new to the franchise

What do you mean you can't afford Iceborne? Both Monster Hunter World and Iceborne TOGETHER is going for $25....if you can't afford to spend $25, you got bigger problems than just paying for a game.

Nothing wrong with that, the game is worth it without for sure.

I'm a new hunter and this is my first MH game.
I bought the base game first and when I found out I really like it, I got iceborne as well.

Iceborne adds a few things to the base game; the claw and mounting small monsters. The rest is exactly the same (from what I've seen so far).

99% of the DLC is added after you've played the main quest.

The base game is definitely worth it. I only bought Iceborne because it was still on sale and I like the game so much, but it certainly isn't necessary to enjoy MH.

This is a complicated one. Before Iceborne, I would recommend it without hesitation.

After Iceborne, some stuff also got changed in the base game for (consistency) reasons, but not having access to an Iceborne mechanic while being subjected to the changes would be a little frustrating.

I'll give a "hesitant yes". It's worth it, but to get the authentic base game experience, you have to use some mods to disable/revert some of the changes.

The actual challenge and content is arguably in Iceborne, though. World without Iceborne is basically half of the game at this point.

Granted the expansion has a lot of content, but theres plenty of challenge to be found with the vanilla AT Monsters :)

For sure, but your average game enthusiast won't grind Behemoth and Kulve to get the base game meta builds, so they can (possibly) solo the AT monsters. Maybe I'm being hyperbolic, but odds are, almost no one is doing base game AT monsters with or without MR gear at this point. They were and are still a chore to deal with.

I'm pretty sure most people just straight up skip the Event Quests and Optional Quests in the base game, then proceed into Iceborne. Not owning Iceborne might actually let people have the intended base game experience, I think, so it's genuinely not a bad idea to buy Iceborne later.

Don't get me wrong, they are challenging (and fun), but that doesn't make them less of a hassle. Especially some questionable moves like AT Nergigante's dive having a hitbox below it, so you get obliterated if you're below it while it's in the air.

Ah yes, the game collection...it always gets bigger along with your back log. Well, I will say that Vanilla Monster Hunter World is absolutely worth the money. I spent well over 100 hours just with that content alone. Beating it story wise, it'll probably take you around 70-80 hours or so. Iceborne though has one of THE best bosses in my honest opinion. What a game, what a fun game. Enjoy whatever it is you choose to do.

Base game is absolutely enough to have fun. Many of us spent hundred of hours on it way before IB came out.
I'd even recommend doing it that way, enjoy the base game, clear everything you want to clear and then upgrade your experience with IB if you feel the need to go further.
