    Never played Monster Hunter. Is World a good start or just go straight to Rise?

      World has better graphics and can get it for extremely cheap off various reseller sites.
      Rise is the latest entry and therefore the newest and more players enjoying it, better if you want to enjoy multiplayer hunts.

        What if I plan to pirate thus eliminating cost and multiplayer?

            World is complete and just better overall. Rise has some cool things and monsters but since Sunbreak just released you're looking at another year before it's complete.

            Cool thanks.

            World is already receved it's final update, so it's a bigger game.
            Rise is newer, so it has more players. It's also faster paced, so it's also good if you have a non existing attention span

            You can frick off though. Stupid ESL.

      Get world. People still play multiplayer but even single player it’s super fun.

      Each weapon is basically it’s own class and very in depth. From being able to jump around/ use a bug to having to micromanage phials, or if you just want to hit something over the head with a hammer worlds does it better than any other mh including rise, plus beautiful graphics and quite a bit of crafting to do.

        I usually love co-op games but I found MHW singleplayer is more fun than multiplayer.
        Haven't tried Rise yet so can't say how it is there.

          They REALLY fricked up MHW's multiplayer, especially multiplayer progression
          It's much better in rise

          How come? If you get a group that knows what they're doing IB co-op is pretty fun. 16 person lobbies are also fun themselves

      world is much more beginner friendly. Rise can be easier than world but only if you're already familiar with monhun gameplay.

        nta but DMC V is flawed and see

        the problem with DMC is enemies don't punish you. on Call of Duty multiplayer, you will get probably punished if you mess up a shot unlike DMC enemies who just stand there waiting to dial in combos.

        also frick Eldung Ring aka Dark Souls 3 DLC

    >We have to confront a hard truth that few people seem to want to face about the Souls games, but here it is: the combat is nothing remarkable.
    >In terms of actual complexity there's not much going on. There's not much depth, and that wouldn't be a problem, except the series has increasingly leaned on its action elements more and more as time has gone by.
    >If you're a staunch defender of the series this is where you might be tempted to rattle off all the attack animations your favorite weapons has... It's true that there are differences in range and damage, but the effect on the enemy is usually identical. They lose some health, possibly suffer some hitstun which either lasts long enough to get another attack in or it doesn't, in which case you go back on the defensive until your next opening. Positioning is important, but that's about the extent of it.
    >In terms of defensive options the series is a lot better, with the ability to block, parry, or dodge most regular attacks...Unfortunately, against bosses, parrying is often completely impossible and blocking is often ill-advised, which leaves you with rolling as your one and only defensive action. So prepare to roll again and again, and again and again and again. When you're not rolling you'll generally be getting 1-2 hits in with whatever weapon you choose, hits that usually provoke no response from the boss whatsoever making every weapon basically the same thing apart from whatever damage types and numbers it has.
    >You go in, you learn the moveset. maybe you die a few times along the way, until you know the boss's moves like the back of your hand. Then you dodge past them, punish at the right times, and win the battle. It's perfectly serviceable gameplay but doing it 20x in one game is just excessive.
    >I'm not saying you should be able to juggle Hollows or anything, but if the game is going to be so relentlessly focused on action then I have fewer reasons not to just play a better action game.
    Was he right, Ganker?
