A typical play session? You say you're going to be done at 10pm and then look at the clock and its 3am and you have to wake up for work in 4 hours.

True dat. I never played a MH game before and I detest Dark Souls style games and didn't think grinding "bosses" would be fun, but this game has some mysterious quality, just something that I can't put my finger on that's addictive to me.

@Gunnar you should buy it, we were in the same boat and I can't stop playing it. Best game ever made, I love this game more than I ever did EQ. I would rather play this game than do anything else and this is after 80ish hours played since launch.

It's great dude. I was basically in the same boat. For all intents and purposes this is MMO-lite with the enjoyment of complexity of the items/systems and incredibly addicting gameplay. Absolutely can't stop playing this game. GOTY by a country mile already.

Bit of a shame you can't join us cross platform though... or can you?

Yes. But prepare to be totally overwhelmed at first. Game follow the Dark Souls school of not going to explain shit. If you like Dark Souls/Nioh/Bloodborne there is basically no way you won't enjoy this game in terms of gameplay.

Dude we played for 13 hours on Friday night to Saturday morning. I could not believe it, it felt like 2 hours had passed max. This game is the goddamn devil.

Okay this was the first time in a few days I was able to play. I watched Arekkz Gaming which has a TONS of tutorial videos explaining in detail everything about MHW from how to use weapons to monster mechanics. I strongly recommend his YT channel for MHW. (That's how I learned to use the charge sword). I was still being brick walled by Barroth so I decided to upgrade my equipment. I farmed enough mats to go full bone armor and forged a better charge sword cause I never upgraded my gear until Barroth. I then went to the training area and practiced with the charge sword until I was comfortable the combos and mechanics with it. I redid the quest and killed Barroth on my first try solo with ease. It's crazy how easy he was after upgrading my gear. Like someone posted once you get use to the "clunkiness" of the battle system the game is amazing.

My character has franken-armor, but it has all the "best" skills for Bow (imo). It will hopefully get better once I get better gems, right now I have use skills from the armor pieces themselves, which doesn't allow for Fashion World. Using Teostra Chest / Gloves, Dober Legs, Azure Rath Belt and Dragonking Helm, with a max'd Attack Charm. This gives me lvl6 attack, lvl3 weakness, lvl2 speed ammo, and lvl1 piercing shots. If I can get decorations for all those skills at those lvls, I will probably switch to a 4-piece Legiana + Azure Rath Belt to max out dragon piercer dmg. Though I swear there is a mechanic in the game that makes the monster notice when I am charging up a shot and decide to jump me.... happens soooo much.
