I Was Sleeping on Monster Hunter World... 

The number of videos of people admitting they've been sleeping on MH in 2024 is incredible

The complaint about tracking monsters in World. Don't tell him about the old ways 💀

For me, playing Monster Finder was actually just as much fun as the fight itself in early game. They put so much work into this environments, and once you level the flies up and find the camps the actual exploration aspect of the game is mostly gone, so i appreciate it being a big part of early game

just throwing this out there.... the tracking system in world was AWESOME. Considering that old games had no tracking system at all... sometimes you would wander a map for 30 minutes and never see it. No tracks, nothing. There was paintballs, where you could manually make a specific monster show up on the map by hitting it. And the reason you found monsters easier in iceborne is simply because you had already collected enough tracks that your research levels were high just due to play time. The tracking system doesnt change between world and iceborne. Coming from world to rise honestly was a disappointment to me personally, as I found it too easy to find monsters, and gave it more of a boss fight feel instead of a monster hunter feel.

Coral highland is actual peak for me. Certain monsters prefer certain heights and terrain so whenever i am in that map, i just go near that location and gather some footprint for it. Super fun, the immersion is crazy

I really miss those memories of old days when AT Nergi and Behemoth are still fresh on base world. Behemoth solo is probably my greatest and hellish fight. 😂

I really liked not knowing where monsters are and trying to find them. Actually got sad after research got hight enough to eliminate that aspect. I'm here to hunt monsters, not just fight them right away.

I remember my first solo of Fatalis was with the insect glaive. I had already gotten most of his gear and was trying to get the double horn break before I died but I kept on going till the eventual completion of the quest, and I was ecstatic!

Been playing since launch and I'm at over 9000hrs. All solo and only one weapon so yeah I'm familiar. Lance and my baby boy jho

This is awesome to see! Watching so many fire this 💎 back up feels like the scene in Avengers Endgame when Captain America heard “on your left”

In regards to the MR grind, I find the levels between the special assignments and MR 100 to be the perfect time to experiment. I’m at 600+ hours between pc and ps4, and most of that is building master rank sets and learning new weapons. It’s the game saying, hey, try something new, there is a lot more in the buffet than just your usual order. The weapon design is so deep that monster hunter sometimes feels like fourteen games in one. I’ve yet to defeat anything at or past raging brachydios, and I think I’ll just get one kill on fatalis. That armor and weapon set would just kill any fun the game has left for me.

Glad you seem to love this game as much as I do. I fell in love with GS early on and Fatalis has gotta be my favorite boss fight of all time. Favorite monster goes to Shara Ishvalda, sooo unique and memorable

Exact same. After going all the way through Iceborne and longsword, i rerolled new character with hammer with no defender gear ofc, just to learn the ropes of the weapon from "birth". A new hammer main was born. SUCH a fun weapon

I loved the hell out of this game, we played with my GF and two friends, full party the whole story, special hunts, events, and raids till we got to Fatalis, it was a blast. I mained Bow and then started playing hammer and other weapons, my GF played Insect Glaive, and the other 2 friends Switch Axe and Great Sword.

Glad to someone learn to love this series! Be a fan since 4U. Personally didnt care for Rise due to the wirebug increasing the movement too much for me to enjoy the hunt. World is that good medium where you are definitely more powerful than before but attacks still have that slow weight to them to make the hunt immersive and satisfying

I’m very glad you mentioned Barioth in Iceborne. That particular hunt got perfected there not only because of the difficulty but because how perfect the Hoarfrost Reach is for it’s moveset. The real reason Barioth feels easier in Rise is because the locales it shows up at have very big areas and not many walls so it misses on a lot of its moveset. Barioth used to be my least favorite agile wyverns (Nargacuga, tigrex and barioth skeleton) before monster hunter world but it quickly became my favorite of the 3 thanks to Iceborne.

Amazing video man, and just like you, I also came from rise. I started playing Rise when it released with a friend who was a monster hunter vet and rise was such a fun experience. I used and mastered bow on that game and the combat was just so fun and smooth. I actually looked down on world because watching gameplay the game looked so boring and slow that I never wanted to try it. Until me and my friend downloaded world on pc and started playing it together from start to finish and holy shit the experience was actually insane, from the monsters, the designs and especially the endgame fights. When I got my bow builds up and running with all 5 elements, got good with the bow in this game because it’s slightly different then rise I literally had the time of my life it was just such a good and underrated feeling. Also I wholeheartedly agree with barioth and rajang 😭 in rise those two monsters were nerfed out the ass. My favorite fight is probably alatreon, I always enjoy fighting him because he’s a mixture of fun and challenging. The problem with world is that once u get really good with your current weapon, and get the highest form of gear, you kind of just shit on every single monster in the game except alatreon and fatalis. I kill literally every monster in the game in less than 5mins except furious rajang and the red dragons. If I want to continue enjoying the game I might have to swap weapons 😭

I agree with what you said regarding using defender gear/armor. My friends and I recently replayed the game on new save files and they opted to use defender gear, and although I used defender armor for low rank, I did use regular low rank weapons and then when I got to high rank I swapped over to regular high rank gear because even in High Rank the game starts to give armor set ups that let you experiment with abilities. Even though i ended up getting to Iceborne like a day or two after them, I definitely got to have a better High Rank experience because of it, and it made it easier for me to transition to Master Rank. Unless you're catching up to someone there really isn't a need to speed up the process especially when its not something like an mmo where the main story is seen as the chore to get through for the real endgame because from the very beginning the gameplay loop is established seeing you talk about the major shift going into iceborne has me feeling nostalgic, I remember having full drachen (behemoth) gear with that being BiS at the time, and still the first fight of Iceborne taking an eternity and the gear I could craft following it being leagues better. That and finding out how much better a gathering hub Seliana had, especially with the smithy, I remember my friends had mods that would just add a smithy npc to the gathering hub so they wouldnt need to go down the ramp.

Played through base and came back in 2024 for iceborn. The clutch claw was a great addition

Glad to see you're enjoying it. I've been playing it again when I can. I tried to get back into Sword and Shield, not like it's a bad weapon, it's just a rough matchup against some monsters, but the variety in the game is a GOOD thing.

Glad to here you're addicted 👏 For me Monster Hunter World/Iceborne is _literally_ the best game ever made❤️‍🔥 And it's definitely not nostalgia talking since I started with World/Iceborne. I can go on and on about multiple aspects of the game that are executed so well they are either one of or _the_ best in gaming of that aspect But also the community is so wholesome and welcoming it's just a pleasure being a part of it (2500+hrs in World/Iceborne alone😅)

12.38 Meanwhile me a old hunter remembering runing 20 minutes in Mogawoods because someone saß"dw we dont need paintballs, its just a Quuropeco it will die first zone"...

Glaive against AT Velkhana feels like a cheat code and I don't even care, it's just too much fun

I was in the same boat, MHW:I was in my library for years! Had a friend rec it when Iceborne came out and just never touched it after being stuck on Anjanath (didnt want to SOS) and moved on. Came back to the game randomly a month or 2 ago and now at 400 hours and no intention of stopping!

I will say, your point of the difficulty spike and things actually mattering in iceborne is very indicative on the power defender gear gives

Namielle is definitely up there in term of design. I fucking love his design as well, beautiful, interesting, clever, and just lovely to look at. My personal fav monster though gotta be Zinogre, he's an absolute badass of a wolf, and i love that he's hella powerful in World. His fight is tense, but rhythmic, and super fun to learn. Even once you learn his moves, it's still intense to dance to it. One of the weirdly chill thing i got to do in World was going to ancient forest while it's raining. I found a tucked away spot looking out to the sea, and just sat down with my palico in the rain. No music, just the sound of rainfall. It's like achieving Zen at that moment

I love the complaint about having to find the monster when that was the norm in the older titles, "Oh you want to hunt this thing?" Hope you brought paintballs and know where to find it because if it flees, you gotta re-find it if you didn't paintball it. Also it's fun to hear newer hunters complain about certain things that I as a veteran have just kinda grown accustomed to like Stockholm's syndrome. Love the franchise and always happy to see new people hope in and hear new takes on the games.

No safi-jiva mention criminal, before the two black dragons farming safi for those weapons was glorious

I remember in the old games there's also a kirin rajang fight, also slaps

I had 900 hours of playtime on my original save in 2018-2019 ! funnily enough, the new players made me come back - I sorta forgot how good this game is, already 109h into my new save hahaha

That was me last year, now over a thousand hours later I can say it's my favourite franchise. Played rise for the monsters as well and currently playing GU 60 hours in, 9 star village quests and I only failed one quest..so far so good.

I can’t wait for wilds to introduce duel elements and duel status effects and mix match element/status effects!

I’m replaying it right now, might be a top 3 game for me ngl

What are your thoughts on Rise vs Sunbreak? I personally loved Rise, but hated Sunbreak after the story and Title Update 1 monsters were done. Insect Glaive and Dual blades (my 2 favorite weapons in Rise and MH4U) both felt very spammy and boring, Anomy Investigations are way too grindy (especially as a solo player), Arisen Elder Dragons have stupidly high MR requirements, Armor Augmentations are an absolute RNG hell. Rise didn't have any of these problems and the combat felt perfect. Just collecting some decorations and weapons that i knew i would probably never use and the fun combat were reason enough to keep playing.

crazy how your experience perfectly resembles mine

I played the mh3u demo and i was like 8. I know how you felt. Then when i didn't have anything to play i tought that that monster game was interesting and i gave it another shot. I played it a couple times understanding the basics and after a couple of days i defeated Lagombi. In that moment i fell in love with the series...

Raging brachydios is one of my favourite monsters to help people with as a wide range user. It's so intense with how much people get hit and affected with the blight. You can get rid of it with nullberries which is much faster than rolling.

Behemoth and Extremoth gets no mention?! Some of the best fights ever!!

How fun to watch another hunter joining the ranks in world

In the base game you would have to collect scoutflies to level up your tracking of a monster. By the time you reach iceborne you habe already leveled up most monsters so you don't need to search them anymore. The mechanic was in the game so you learn the walking patterns and turfs of the specific monsters. "it makes it feel like getting hit actually matters now" I mean yes of course because you used the defender gear and probaby guardian armor.

I’ve been playing monster hunters for years now but only got to afford them a few years ago so I started multiplayer again and seeing how many people are coming back to the game makes me love it more now that I can play them legally and online 😂

Hey have you also tried heavy bow gun? I played it in world but i was not ready for how they changed it in rise. Decided to drop hunting horn and go into super high rank with heavy bow gun and now in rise i can charge each shell like a freaking great sword. 😅 Getting used to it is....kinda difficult. I wander if they did same with light bow gun.

also, the scoutflies aren't supposed to find the monster for you so much as show you where the monsters go. you can only find tracks in places they travel and the bigger tracking bits show you what areas they hang out in. they are supposed to teach you about the monster's behavior by showing you the information you need to learn about them until you get enough that they just bring you to the monster. i think the main issue with this though is how much of a maze the forest map is, causing them to lead you on less efficient paths to get you to the monster and sometimes even leading you astray when the monster decides to move. before that, we had paintballs and you just had to guess where the monster would be based on behavior, paint it to keep track of it, or just watch the direction it moved when switching areas. it worked but scoutflies does more to actually show you what the monster is doing, and the owl from rise is just too much info to have all the time to the point that most people never bother to learn anything about the monsters. i think scoutflies would be best moving forwards, they just need some improvements

Started a few weeks ago myself and cannot stop playing the game. Got done with Iceborne and now I am going back and trying to finish all optional.

@9:20 There's a mod called "Near Lift" that adds an elevator to the entrance/exit of Astera. There are tons of neat QOL mods out there, and MHW is surprisingly simple to mod. You should try some out.

happy to see barioth still teaching to this day

TBF you can kill bth black dragons at MR40. alatreon is pretty easy as long as you get a elemental weapon and know both his and your weapon moves. fatalis is kinda the same if you take alatreon wep, except you probably need to know how to use your clutch claw because you need those wall bangs to break the horn. bare in mind i had over 2000 hours in mhwi and this was my 2nd account so I knew what I was doing from the get-go despite having mid gear and using one of my least used weapons for the playthrough. But the point is both are pretty double with fatalis being double the difficulty in my opinion edit: oh forgot to mention i am talking about doing both solo

Tracking monsters in the early game actually has a purpose, as much as it may annoy some. In the early game you don't have access to the farm so almost all of your items must be gathered from the field. You are not just "running around in circles" while tracking a monster, you are gathering impoirtant materials AND getting used to the map. Later on you have to track less and less until eventually you dont need to anymore. This makes sense as late game the player likely does not need items from the field ( you get most of what you need from the farm) AND you already know the maps by that point. I personally like it. Could it have been done better? Yes, but its still decently well implemented.

Man i olayed this game since 2018 and i have everything completed but i always come back because is just so damn good

IG is probably the best weapon to solo Fatalis (next to ZSD spam cheese ofc). Bait cones, fly over to his head, then split his skull. Rinse and repeat lmao

I remember my first Raging Brachy kill and I just started audibly screaming in panic when he started punching the ground in his den at the end because I didn't know what he was doing😂

3D ultimate DEMO was my first MH too, I just looked at the armour and closed the game

Raging Brachydios is definitely my favorite fight in the game. I was not prepared to be completely cut-off from my Farcasters, or Traps. His defiant roar and the subsequent barrage of punches into the ground, I realized it was his moment of "Fine. You want to kill me so bad? Fuck you. Earn it." I LOVE helping people with that fight.

Have you tried MR Kulve? Maybe it just me but i loved this fight, maybe with fatalis gear it wouldnt be so interesting tho.

When you talk about monsters being stronger in World than in Rise, you have to keep in mind that some of these monsters are in Master Rank in World, but High Rank in Rise

Been trying my hardest to get my friends exposed to MH, especially world. The accomplishment feeling after defeating each endgame monster in this game is something every true gamer should experience.

I played world on release and have been replaying it and still don't use the defender gear.. been playing MH for some time now and I just enjoy the general gameplay. Don't care about meta or mid maxing just make builds for my enjoyment and still kill everything sub 15 👍

you know. the scoutflys are actually one of the big concerns of og hunters. back in the day u had to find it by checking the areas , no tracks, no nothing. u can throw a paint ball to mark it once u find it so then its marked on the map. lots of people complained about scoutflys cause it just made it easier. and we will not talk about rise, where its allways on the map.

Yes I started playing MHW and damn I thought that I was a switchaxe main but now I think my main weapon is the sword and shield it is so op and so fun to use

Press select > world map > hover on Astera or Seliana press enter. You can pick the area in the hub you want to go to. You can do this while at either hub. When you said elevator I was like "um sir, actually..." lol

Not me doing Alatreon without any augments 😭

unless you use the fatalis armor or 4 parts of it you get max health and stamina

I've just finished the main quest line for mhw solo, can't wait to get my ass beat to oblivion in iceborne 😂

fatalis and alatreon came out a year after the iceborn dlc so most people playing then are gear for it and yes it shouldve been behind mr100 minimal so its extremely hard for a fresh player also some monsters not allf of them have these mechanics that arent explain and youll have to find out yourself things like if you break barioths 2 claws itll make the fight a bit easier or the more obvious one where if you cut rathians tail she cant poison you and in the older game if i remember correctly if you break kirin kusha or teostra their horns or poison them they get weaker

I was doing an insect Glave hunt against glavenus it is one of the best fights in monster hunter

Man i played tf outta this when it came out, started playing again with iceborne, and now im back for the third time and i still cant beat alatreon 😂😂

I had this revilation a while back. I tried MHW all the years back, but honestly got overwhelmed and stopped playing. Recently a friend brought up MHW and i shared my experience with it, they ofcourse telling me to give it another try. So i did, and even tho i'm only ~20hours in and being clapped by every bigger monster, i'm having a lot of fun.

Barrioth is the first one to kick the shit out of me too.

13:55 was so funny considering he used defender gear

I thought you would have at least tried to do fatalis before doing the guiding lands grind and you can do alatreon pretty easy if you go to safi first I only have 50 hours on this save and have full alatreon armor and starting the fuel grind. oh and deco. ( sorry if I am being rude I am a vet so I have to many hours in monster hunter)

actually shara doesnt actually track the camera, unlike all other monsters he has a concave indentation for his pupils so it looks like it tracks the camera

6:40 whenever a monster is asleep the next hit does double damage. Sleep bombing is my favorite

ONE OF US ONE OF US

I have been playing it for a long time now and I still struggle to find people to play with, I tried the behemoth fight alone and theres no way i can do that. Anyone able to help ?

There is nothing quite like monster hunter world there is no games like monster hunter as a series and my fav monster is laggy or nible snarf and you can guess my favorite weapon.

I'm fully against defender armor and weapons as it is against what Monster Hunter is about in my opinion. Better solution would have been just to allow the players to skip the World's base story and jump straight to the end game which rewards them with icerborne starting gear that is weaker than base game's best armor but strong enough to take on the monsters. You could even ramp it with few easier monsters to craft items equal to previous best gear if you wanted.

Interestingly enough this is the second video I've seen from newer players who didn't realize you can get rid of the brachy/raging brachy blast debuff with nullberries. Other than that, I generally agreed with the thoughts although while I do quite like fatalis, in solo it's very obvious that he is incredibly unfair in some ways. His hitboxes are fucking egregious in places, and the amount of moves he has and can spam that serve entirely to just waste time in a fight where DPS is a HUGE concern is just blatantly cheaper as fuck, and made the solo grind feel like grinding out RNG rather than getting better at a fight.

Gooood goood. Now we can have him come to the WILDS side ;)

It's faster to just use the world map to navigate different areas of Astera or Seliana.

To counter alot of negatives to the new players, you have to remember that World plays HEAVILY into the endemic life and immersion. So if youre into the immersion being a "Monster Hunter" then some of these "negatives" are actually a good positive. A fresh hunter to a new world wouldnt know how to find these wyverns. So it makes sense that you have to "research" them in order to find the faster. Which i personally liked (my first MH game) Just remember, any "negative" can be a positive to another. Its a great game regardless ❤

Are you going to play Dragon's dogma 2?

Unkillable except in latter base game the only reason why I know this is a did a save with my friend that I dragged in, and he died a lot from kushala, nergigante and he was terrible at fighting anja he literally couldn't beat it until he sat in the camp, and I solo it with only slightly better gear then I was supposed to have at that point.

Is that MegaMan and Bass music I hear? 😎

Back then i had to hunt 32 Raging Brachydios to get my reactor. I hated him ever since. But i know this hunt like no other.

The deco farm is the big downside for me with world since they really bring the build online where as in Rise you can make do with an average charm as long as it has the slots

everyone is going to have a different wall. I wasted 3 hours trying to kill tigrex the first time around.

Was having fun until I reached fatalis godammit I just can't beat him, 35 min limit on the final boss? no SOS for first phase One shots me with almost any of his flame attacks I'm heavily considering paying for a carry at this point just to unlock him on the crafting tree

Please wake up!

You say Alatreon has double elements, but can you use a farcaster to go back to camp and choose another weapon if it changes element?

Love how he complains about how you have to look for the monster giving you a sense of hunting in a game called monster HUNTER

The reason you spent less time tracking monster the further you played is because you leveled up your research levels on the side so the scoutflies find the tracks faster. Iceborne doesn't do anything particularly different with that compared to base game, the difference comes from just playing the game and using its systems naturally.

Sadly it hasnt clicked for me yet. Currently on my 3rd or 4th try. My problem is I cant enjoy a specific weapon that much!

I rage quit this game 2 years ago on my first fight with Raging Brachy, I couldn’t beat him. I will try again.

Maybe that willmake someone's life easier, you can eat nulberry if you got brachedious debuff)

Cant kill behemoth? Pffft Me too 😅 was able to wreak leshen and ancient leshen tho

Yeah for the breaf time i spent with world i did enjoy it despite playing on minimum settings and getting 10fps (Because my PC is garbage it's not the games fault) i managed to kill my first anginaph (i don't care if i spent that wrong) but had to drop it due to the aforementioned 10fps. Once again THIS IS A GOOD GAME i just wasn't able to experience much of it due to my PC being crap so i recommend this game but not for people on a budget or with lower end / older PCs

You should check out granblue relink , soul sacrifice and other monster hunting games

Peak video game

yeah in MH World you actually have to *hunt* the monster by tracking it, in Rise you juts kill the thing... both games are made by different teams and have different aims: one is immersion the other is quick rushes of action

I’m happy MHW getting that recognition they needed again
