"watch before buying"

Me, 20 hours in already: Hmm.. How interesting..

Let's be honest. Are Monster Hunter games ever not masterfully crafted video games with amazing attention to detail, oozing with charm and atmosphere and class leading combat and crafting ? Every game is at least an 8 out of 10 at launch, and through continual updates and expansions ends up as 9.5 or a 10.
God I love this series. Hope Rise sells like hotcakes, the devs deserve it.

Also concerning online play: Don't stress out when you mess up. Some of the nicest and encouraging players I have ever met were from the Monster Hunter fandom. You also don't need to worry about whether the weapon you pick will mess with the party layout. Everybody contributes something to the hunt and everyone is grateful.

And on a more personal note, just have fun. Goof around withe emotes in and out of hunts. Try out that weapon you think looks cool but your no good at. Just be yourself and happy hunting

To all new players this is my veteran tip: do not give up. This game demands you learn from failure and it rewards you for sticking through. Learn monster movement patterns, understand your weapons limitations, and make sure to take breaks in between your attacks to check what move the monster is about to use.

Monster Hunter Rise feels like the old Monster Hunter games and I love it.

[SalKhayer]

This was my first Monster Hunter game ever. I'm now 200 hours deep, swinging around like I belong on the Scouts from Attack on Titan, and I can't believe how amazing this game is. The time commitment is real (read: 200 hours), but I was pretty much able to do most of the moves I can do by the 50th hour. It's just now I'm so damn skilled at my weapon, I can go an entire monster hunt without getting hit a single time and countering and parrying everything, which is the most satisfying feeling of self-improvement when you're actually able to pull it off successfully.

Sorry for the rant. TL;DR: Buy the damn game.

I don’t know, I actually liked the whole aspect of investigating and tracking monsters. It made it feel like an actual HUNT, instead of boss fight the game. Same with crafting buffs from the flora and fauna of the biomes.

I literally paused NintendoLife’s review of Monster Hunter Rise when I saw this notification pop up :’)

This is also my first ever Monster Hunter game and I’m LOVING IT.

[DigiTism]

Die hard fan here! - The learning curve and onboarding is definitely a curse. I remember almost dropping my first MH game, and I was only able to get my friends to play World by saying, "Keep going a bit further".

[mastermanchief]

This game legit makes you feel like a total badass and I’m all for it

[ryanwest]

Watching this for the eventual PS5 release.

I’ve only ever played World, but I loved it. Happy to see this looks like more of that with a few tweaks here and there. Can’t wait!

[RedNineTeen]

Damn!!! I must have seen 8 monster hunter reviews and every comment I see is a positive one! This will be my first monster hunter

[Genghis_Khaan_]

Bought a switch just for this game lol don’t regret it at all!
