We’re back on our Monster Hunter World bullshit, and I’ll be honest, it feels great to make a return after a good chunk of time away.
I’ve already written about the resurgence of players coming to Monster Hunter World over at Fullsync.co.uk but I think there’s a lot more to be said for those just joining the hunt for the first time.
So, here’s a bit about the game and some quick tips to helping you get stuck-in as quickly as possible.
Just remember to not let the community get too intense. Have fun, learn, play with others and fire that SOS flare. There’s no shame in just playing and having a good time. Not everyone needs to be a hardcore solo player.
About Monster Hunter World
The Monster Hunter series, developed by Capcom, has captivated gamers for years with its unique blend of action, strategy, and RPG elements. The core gameplay revolves around players taking on the role of a Hunter, embarking on quests to track and defeat colossal monsters in various environments. Each installment of the series has built upon this foundation, introducing new monsters, environments, and gameplay mechanics.
Monster Hunter World, the latest entry in the series as of my last update, represents a significant evolution. It stands out with its refined mechanics, stunning graphics, and a more immersive and expansive world. Unlike its predecessors, which were divided into separate zones, World offers a series of vast, interconnected ecosystems, making the hunting experience more fluid and dynamic.
The game also introduced new tracking mechanics, allowing players to follow monsters using environmental clues. With its approachable gameplay, World has been designed to be more accessible to newcomers while still challenging veteran hunters.
