I dont mean to parachute in here with questions but a friend is buying this and wants me to as well. I dont have time to read this thread before I am suppose to buy this and play tonight. So I ask for guidance from fellow shit lords.
*I have never played a mOnster hunter game
*I usually hate super "japanese-y games and art styles
*All I really know is I guess in this you hunt monsters and can play 4 player.
Thats as far as I got with him. The last game two games he got me to buy were The Divisions (DUDE ITS A COOL SHOOTER MMO) and Dying Light (ITS A SWEET MELEE ZOMBIE GAME). Both had their merit, Division ended up being good and bad. Dying Light was amazing. So Im thinking of making the plunge because of his track record.
Based on all this, can anyone give me a elevator pitch to the game? Is there a story at all I need to know about or care about? Seems like the gameplay is tight. I see from these last pages there is a main story then seems like a farming type end game? Whats a typical play session like?
The art looks super japanesy - Is it distracting? To explain better, I look at a game like Lost Odyssey, or Aion and just see that asian game dev art style that can be honestly stupid as fuck to look at. I played Guild Wars 2 and that at times was a bit meh, but thata didnt bother me too much. Where does this fall on that scale?
For some random drunk white 30s something guy, is this a game that I can just walk into, understand and sink some time into. I wouldnt mind a grind right now, so much that Ive been looking for some kind of MMO to play on PC, but would be fine finding something on XBone
