Looking forward to this. Glad I own a PS5 Pro. Seems to be the best way to play video games lately. Clearly the most powerful console and while PC is obviously capable of more it is often an unoptimized mess. To me it's not worth spending a grand or two extra to deal with all of that.

never played the monster hunter games before but i'm gonna start with worlds + iceborne and then get around to this one after the dlc expansion launches.
this a bad idea?

I'd actually suggest "MH:Rise" as a starter. These games can be a bit overwhelming with their 900 menu's, ten trillion items and odd mechanics. "Rise" streamlines it a bit to help wrap your head around it all. It's a pretty good teaching tool that will help ease you into the bigger games. Going into MHW blind could be a bit daunting.

well its too late to go back now, mhw already installing.
i heard that rise was easier and simplified and the maps arent as big or engaging so i ultimately went with worlds. now i'm trying to figure out what kind of build i want to start off with. torn between dual blades or the insect glaive. but the bow shit looks pretty cool too. or maybe a greatsword cause i like to bonk shit. i don't even know at this point.
i'm going into this shit blind. probably gonna get my shit pushed in but it is what it is.

Honestly you should have just jumped into wilds first. Everyone is saying the base game is the easiest yet and having a huge playerbase means they’ll always be help around the corner if you do struggle. I doubt there will be many online players left in world as they all will be migrating to the new one. Oh and one more thing, Wilds introduces NPCs that fight monsters alongside you so that probably simplifies things even further if you’re against playing with other people.

Doesn’t the game not release until tomorrow anyway? I bought it digitally but I’m locked out until midnight ET. Won’t be playing until Saturday night sadly as I’m going to be busy Friday.

im a filthy pirate so it's not like i'll be playing with others anyways. i'm starting with world because apparently its the hardest and complex of the bunch. i'm up for the challenge.
finally slogged through the intro. think i'm gonna start with a greatsword and see where it gets me. messing around in the training room and the moves don't seem to be that hard.
i still wanna bonk shit with the hammer and figure out the dual blades and that kinsect glaive thing.

Dual blades are the best beginner weapon. Not much technique involved. Just slice, dice and dodge. Does pretty decent damage too. Sword and Shield is good for beginners too.
The great sword is good, but takes a lot practice and patience to really get a handle on it. I'd hold off on using it until you learn the ropes a bit.

ive already gotten into the greatsword. well now using bone blade 2 after upgrading.
its a little slow but it seems to hit pretty hard.
i'm avoiding using any of the defender or guardian gear as apparently thats pretty much cheating from what i've read. just started with the chainmail shit which i'm already growing out of in favor of bone armor. just gotta keep farming more mats so i can upgrade them and stuff.
starting to get a handle on this now i think. maybe not so quick though. just figured out i gotta sharpen my weapons.

Did you bought a premium version in order to start earlier ?

im playing MH worlds. not wilds. it's way older.
i might have to buy it if i want to do all of the events because it's tied to online play and i cant find any mods to bypass that part so that i can do all of the events, and i'm probably not gonna want to miss out on those. but there's this safi'jiiva siege event quest that i definately don't want to miss out on that one either but apparently its really fucking hard to solo.
so i might just break down and buy it. but damn this game and the expansion is like the cost of a full priced brand new AAA game. at least there's still an active community playing on steam.
i'm gonna play the pirated version of iceborne for a while and see if i like it enough to buy the damn thing. i didn't know that i'd be missing out on all of this content gated behind an online connection. but i can't seem to find a hack to bypass that for the expansion like i can for the original game. so without buying a legit copy i'd be missing out on alot of the stuff that i probably want

alright i keep having to chase these monsters all over the map and i'm really not liking that. they go to fight me i beat up on them and then they run away like a fucking bitch. and then i go to the next spot and now they want to fight me for a bit and then i start beating up on them and then they flee again. rinse and repeat. for like 3 or 4 more times until it's dead.
i don't like this at all. stop being a pussy and fight me. i shouldn't have to run the boston marathon all over the god damn map just to get to you so i can get a few licks in and then have to run all up and down the map some more just to get to your next little spot where youre just gonna puss out some more. i don't know if all of the hunts are like this or if it's just like this starting out but this is not very engaging at all. fight me to the death bitch. i'm not here to play tag with you.

You're right about the "Guardian" gear. It basically renders the base game pointless, until you get about two thirds in.
The great sword is definitely slow and hits hard. If you can hack it, have at it. Personally, I thought it was too slow, even if you're doing okay with it. The fights go on forever with that thing, unless you're a pro. I think the hammer is a good middle ground.
I see you ran into the "monsters running away" nonsense. Yeah, it's a thing. You can stop them with traps and whatnot, but it's tricky when you're solo-ing. Think of them of tiers. I'd prefer the game doesn't do that, but it's all part of the design. Sometimes it's not bad, if you're down on health boosts and need to collect some shit for the next phase. But yeah, get used to it. It's a staple of the franchise. More reason to switch to a faster weapon until you're more adjusted to the enemies and their patterns. It cuts the time down a LOT. You'll do way more damage with the spammy weapons when starting out, and be a lot more engaged with the gameplay. Starting out with a great sword is a recipe to hate the game.
It's a very slow burn to come to appreciate these games. I couldn't stand them until I played "MH: Rise".

maybe i'll give dual blades a try but i'm just not down with having to chase these fuckers all over the map but i did a bit of sleuthing and apparently thats part of the game. even if you flash bomb them with the slingshot thing its only temporary and they will still retreat. unless you can like trap and stunlock them and shit and you got a whole party that can keep them contained.
and starting out i definately don't have the kind of upgrade mats to smash them out in one hit so i guess i'm just gonna have to put up with it.
just when i was starting to get impressed with the game, i realised that enemy flight is a mechanic of the game, and i can't really say that i'm digging it.
i was on an expedition to set up a camp. did a bit of fishing. done some gathering. killed some trash mobs. grabbed some upgrade mats. it was very bliss. just about to set up camp and call it a day but then it threw me on a side quest where i had to run an ironman chasing this milk drinking bastard all over the map. that cowardly little mama's boy was zooming off screen before i could even shoot anything at it. that was some nate quarry vs kaleb starnes bullshit right there. i was literally making chicken noises and yelling "come get some!" at my screen as it kept running off on me.

alright, i've decided that i can tolerate monsters carlos conditting their way across the map so i think i'm gonna stick with this.
broke down and bought the Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Master Edition Digital Deluxe for $24.99 CAD off cdkeys.com which is way cheaper than i'd have to pay to get the game and the expansion off steam, so i figured it would be worth it just so i can actually play online and do all the tonnes of quests i'd be missing out on in the pirated copy because those activities are all gated behind online events so that's no-bueno for my copy.
but i'm starting to get the hang of it now. the dual blades are way more fun, fast and efficient then the greatsword starting off.
yeah i'm getting into it. at first having to chase some monsters down in the middle of a battle kinda pissed me off but i think i can deal with it now. haven't had too much trouble yet.
yeah i can see myself getting into these games. it's not over my head just yet. but god damn that barroth fight had me on the brink of defeat. there was a god damn final fantasy cactaur beside it and it unleashed its infamous 1000 needles attack on me and ktfo'd me. i couldn't help but to laugh as i wasn't expecting something like that to have been put into this game! it was gone by the time i went back for revenge though thank god.

anyways happy hunting sherbros. there seems to be alot of hype behind this game. enough to finally get me into the series when i already have a fuck tonne of other games i've been trying to get at. i'm sure i'll get around to playing wilds too if it's any good.
