Looking for Single Player Monster Hunter on PC

[None]

Due to my last post: https://steamcommunity.com/app/582010/discussions/0/4361246746318744169/

My conclusion is Not all content can be solo without becoming a Pro so my best bet is to find other game.

I'm interested in Monster Hunter Franchise but I never play any Monster Hunter before.

and I like playing alone because I don't like to wait for other people to join. this is not suitable for my limited time frame. I just want to go in - kill big monster alone - repeat but I don't want to be a Pro Monster hunter who can solo what is designed for Party.

I'm just casual guy not a Shangri la Frontier Protagonist.

So I ask you guy here. What Monster Hunter Should I play ? (PC)

Dauntless. It's not a MH game but similar and you can play solo if you want.

I currently have 195 hours in this game. I am currently in Iceborne dlc. I didn't fight 3 monsters in total as of now. 2 monsters which are from collaboration event and 1 siege monster.
I don't consider myself pro in any shape or form. It takes me about 15-20 minutes to hunt a big monster.

The base game also has defender gear which is hated by older players cause how easy it makes the game. Fyi defender gear was given just so player can rush the game and go to iceborne dlc. I didn't even use it.

Most mission's fail requirement is generally fainting 3 times. Meaning a monster has to kill the players 3 times for you to fail that quest. You get a companion palico which literally heals you.

What more do you want? You are wasting your own time if you make up your mind without even playing a game thinking that you need to be a pro. It doesn't get easier than this.

Though honestly I doubt you are going to play of them anyway. This seems more like a whim rather than interest.

You could pick up Monster Hunter Rise. Many consider it to be an easier title, you can bring 2 pets instead of 1, and with the Sunbreak expansion you can even bring 2 more AI allies to support you. Fights get pretty easy when they're a 5v1.

I mentioned this in the other thread and now Suzaku has as well. If you don't want to buy Rise right away, try the demo.

No it's not, you are placed on a queue even if you are playing by yourself and you have to wait for the game to let you play.

Monster Hunter Rise is 100% solable, it doesn't have any of the forced multiplayer only monsters that World has. Yes, some monsters might be difficult, but it's not something that you can eventually overcome with perseverance and skill.

[AGGRESSIVEWADDLING]

I think the only monsters that are hard to solo is behemoth, safijiva, kulve, and ancient leshen, everything else is pretty soloable as long as you learn their patterns

I dont remember any queue for solo. Are you sure you are playing patrol solo mode?

Well, they WERE designed to play with people, sooooooo...

In theory, the older games could be solo'd, you just have less QoL and utilities provided by World/Rise. I never did because I was still relatively new to the franchise.

World has all these tools at one's disposal, and for the most part, you can solo the game - provided you are half-decent on the hunt. The problem is that a portion of the game can't be played solo, and while not required, it still kind of sucks to look at a quest, go "sounds cool", then never play it because playing online is a lottery and playing alone is punished.

Rise lacks these crappy gimmick hunts, leaving only Rampage quests which can be done alone because there are NPCs - it's akin to a Zorah Magdaros hunt where they do help, just without the exploding magmacores or the endless climbing. Plus, there's far less of the badly designed hunts - the ones where attacks create permanent hazards (tornadoes...) and attacks are poorly telegraphed (Lunastra...)

I can also definitively say Monster Hunter Rise can be solo'd because that's what I ended up doing - every possible quest including events. The odd quest can be a challenge to do alone, but it can be done without micro-optimising.

[Oni-Lyrics]

Rise. Its totally soloable and you can even pause.

MHW is more solo-friendly than the older games are, their hubs (which some monsters are usually exclusive to) are not solo-scaled, MHW at least has solo scaling for their sieges even if they are still frustratingly difficult and everything else is fully solo-able. its only optional postgame and event content that is more difficult, being the sieges, AT monsters and such

IMO if you're new to franchise, i recommend starting with mhw, i still feel like its easier to learn the game and mechanics and such. but Rise might be a better overall experience, with more QoL and better npc helpers

might want to check out dragons dogma too. its not super similar, but its enough that i can point at it and say "you like MH? you might like this game too!" The first game is on sale super often for like $5 or something so you can check it out for very cheap too
https://store.steampowered.com/app/367500/Dragons_Dogma_Dark_Arisen/ i think this is the first time i've ever looked at the store page for it in like 2 years and realised it isn't on sale, lol. it might be on the switch

edit: Why'd i get a clown reward for this? XD

Don't know if they changed it since i played it. But I remember going into a solo hunt and the game still put me in a 20 second queue looking for… a server i’m guessing.

'cause people are hating on DD2 and obviously that means that you're not allowed to enjoy games that you enjoy, if they don't like it.
