    Does anyone have thoughts on this game? I have tried the demos for MH on the 3DS but was never able to get into them... and this is coming from someone who has loved all the Soulsbourne games. The controls felt clunky and I didn't have as much fun as I thought I'd have. Does MH:W do things differently than generations?

      Oh man, I love this game and this series to death. They changed things a lot and smoothed them out a lot for MH:W. Mostly they made a lot of quality of life improvements like you can now move while drinking a potion instead of being stuck in a stupid flexing animation and you pick up any thing you might need within a second instead of having to do a whole animation to pick up some herbs. However, the most important thing that I think they did was remove loading screens between areas of a map. That being said, the weapons were changed minimally, so if you felt the weapons were clunky before, you may think the same for this game. I would still check it out if I were. Hopefully they'll release a demo for it on pc.

        Nice, thanks for the recommendation. I think what I would like is dominating giant monsters with my friends. I also heard that I need to try out more weapons, as some weapons will lock you into animations more deeply than others. I'm strongly considering this game.

      (All this is based on MH4U) What weapons did you use in Soulsborne? If you feel they're too slow, I'd recommend Sword n Shield or Dual Blades probably. Funnily, it was actually the clunky controls...

      (All this is based on MH4U) What weapons did you use in Soulsborne? If you feel they're too slow, I'd recommend Sword n Shield or Dual Blades probably. Funnily, it was actually the clunky controls that made me feel at home in Monster Hunter, but I'd only played Dark Souls 1 and 2 at that point. 3 and Bloodborne feel less similar.

      Rolling is much less forgiving, btw, so watch out for that.

      I think early Monster Hunter is pretty meh, but once you get the hang of things it gets fun fast. I'd definitely recommend co-op.

    I've been playing MH since the PS2 era. I turned to PC gaming over 6 years ago. Now, this is what I was waiting for. Thank you Yuya Tokuda and all the team back at Capcom
