Think he's playing on PC.

Ah, no worries.

Well, only just got into this recently and glad I persevered through the learning curve as it really is class. Only issue is that it seems calling in help via an SOS is way too OP for the early game. Have avoided the defender gear so far.

That's the one thing about MWH, the length of the fights some time. Played a little myself last night - was on a hunt for Fulgur Anjanath. My controller kept de-syncing and I eventually carted three times because of it. Turned it off then as I was pissed off.

Not really.  I changed over to hammer and it's a whole new ballgame.  So much fun!  Especially after I bothered to look up the moves properly.

I'll check with the missus so I may be able to swing it. Lmao.  Let me get back to you asap.

Rise next month!

I cannot wait. We all love World and what it did for the franchise, but for MonHun to be back on a handheld, will equate to waaaayyyyyy more hours played, grinding, hunting, helping. The convenience factor cannot be overlooked or understated! 

Its one of the only games where you can do solo laps of the map gathering resources while you're watching TV, then 5 mins later, you're balls deep in a hunt with 3 friends online.

Its wondrous! It truly is. Now if i could only get out of my Charge Blade comfort zone! lol!

Rise is confirmed for PC now, early 2022.

Rise pre order is under 40 notes on shopto. I really wanted digital on this but that's probably too tempting.

Ditto, just grabbed that too.

Magnamalo in the updated Rise demo is a piece of work. Roar, charge, one shot. Angry paw swipe, one shot.

15 mins to complete just to increase the pressure.

I'm not touching that demo update. Not long to wait now until the full game

Try a few weapon tutorials and then try them out on the Great Jaggi hunt. There's no cost in swapping between weapons, so you might as well try out all the weapons and get a feel for them. 

When you're settled on a weapon, do a bunch of hunts, upgrade your weapon. Jobsagudun.

Downloaded this yesterday, it looks great but jeez it throws alot of info at you. Any tips on how to get cracking without being overwhelmed by all the deeper rpg elements? I want the gameplay to hook me first so all that stuff starts to be meaningful rather than daunting. I'm new to MH by the way, never played one before. Edit - sorry, should have said I'm talking about Monster Hunter World on PS4/xbone.

I went through this recently as a first timer getting into Monster Hunter World. There was definitely a wall I had to break through. I just did a lot of searching/reading online and asked some questions on forums. It is an amazing game and worth the effort. Some stuff off the top of my head...

* Visit the canteen before quests. This will give you a stat boost.
* Make sure to check the item chest at camp for free items (usually potions). These only last for the quest duration but save you using up your own supply.
* Be wary of calling in randoms to help. I found that because the game is pretty mature now, most of the help I've called in has been way too OP for the early game and just steam-rolled the monster leaving me feeling a bit pointless....however...
* DO join SoS requests from others. I've found I learned more this way.
* Disregard most of the crafting early on. Just focus on health and stamina potions, then capture items (there is a quest that will introduce this to you).
* DON'T buy the "Defender" weapons/armour that are offered to you from the Smithy. They are OP and in my opinion diminish the challenge at the start of the game (think they appeared with the Iceborn expansion as a way to fast-track you through the game)..
* Don't start with a weapon that's too complex. I started with the longsword and that kept me happy for a good few hours and took me a while to learn how to use well.

Main thing is keep asking questions.

That's great cheers fellas, appreciate the advice. Thats a helpfull list to start with thanks Drum. I've read playing with friends can be a bit confusing when your setting a story mission up. What's the quickest simplest way to all join up and do some worth while quests? Do I do the assigned stuff alone and do the side and events stuff with friends or can we hop into the story mode together from the gathering hub?

I've not tried partying up with friends yet, so not sure on that one. But you can do main story quests with friends/randoms with one caveat...

You have to have watched the pre-fight cut scene for that particular quest once. i.e. You have to have entered battle on your own with a monster before you can co-op that monster. As soon as the fight starts, others can join. Think I've got that right, hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Monster Hunter just seems mean. They should call it Animal (minding its own business) Killer.

Blow up a Jaggi Boi? Science.
Slicing that Anja tail clean off? Double Science.
Smashing a Diablos' horns into dust? So much Science!
