How easy is this compared to Monster Hunter?

[Lienhart]

While I put a lot of time into God Eater in the past, my biggest gripe is that the game was a snooze fest. Compared to MH, I could play God Eater while drunk out of my mind with one hand.

Did they up the difficulty in this?

Nvm, searched. Game is brain dead unless you beat like 70 story missions. Guess I'll try Resident Evil 2.

Have you actually ever played GE solo or are you boasting about being helped by the AI?

[White Glint]

Yeah solo these games are a nightmare.

I cant comment for the end stuff. But Im now at mission 15 and using the starter Varient Scyth Ive yet to have a mission last more than 4 minutes.

I forgot to upgrade or craft something new after looking at it during the tutorial.

So though the OP isnt wrong you dont play this for difficutly if coming from older MH as a comparison.

That said I will be using the advice here of leaving the AI at home and then feed back on what that was like.

I am enjoying the faster more frantic combat.

Especially with GE 3's smart NPCs

So as I promised I went and turned off my NPC's and re-did missions 12 to 15.

The only one that actually gave me any real rouble was the one multi monster fight with the Scorpian Knight. But once I cleared the trash that was spamming ranged attacks from all sides it smoothed out.

Still no Deaths and honestly it added a minute or 2 to the times but the attacks are far more predictable solo. So you I find I can aim and land my big attacks far easier.

I will say that the AI is fairly competent so it does make the fights easier since you need to focus on evasion less and can just attack more when they are around.

I like that the combat gives you so many more options to do things. It has that over MH which only has the dodge and generally it breaks the flow of attacks.

playing with a buddy in coop; we are now rank 6 ~ 15-20 hours into the game and are currenlty killing everything very quickly despite using item find equipment, i would really hope that the game gets harder

[Lienhart]

Thanks for the responses. I went with Resident Evil 2 instead and it's proving to be extremely unforgiving so it's great!

I'll still pick up GE3 eventually when I want something more more chill but I was reminded that Iceborne is around the corner.

The combat is fun Im not going to lie. And there is enough variety in the weapons that it wont go stale any time soon.

But yeah I wouldnt mind about 20% or more HP on the fights so it lasts a fair while more.

[DLOZanma]

You still didn't answer me, OP.

If compared to latest MHW: Story part very much easier than MHW if with NPC, a bit easier than MHW if solo.

But difficulty spike existed. Just like MHW where the HR49 T-Kirin forces you to build defense. GE3 difficulty spike can be found in several missions, mainly if you trying to achieve SSS(+ if solo) rank.

You may also want to wait until "perilous mode" alike introduced in GE3. Back in GE2RB, this mode makes everything goes hell unless you are glitching or using the rage burst. Creeps may take 1/2 ~ one shot you, their HP is so high that it could take several hits from even best damage build. Not to mention bosses.

Avoid abusing guns in older games, its alot more challenging.

I think the formula is "easy story missions, hard extra missions"... MHW does offer some really challenging fights even in their story missions but there are games like GE that holds the player's hand early game and makes their "entry/story" missions easy as kind of a tutorial since that is the basic game mode (story). Now if you are really up for the challenge, that's where the extra missions come in... Try the Expert Certifications or the Assault Mode.
