What's the appeal of these games? I'm a Dark Souls veteranand every so often I see webm comparisons floating by in /dsg/. From what I've seen, MH has pretty bad hitboxes on par with King's Field IV, and instead of being a test of wits and skill it's just a matter of slowly hitting something over and over again until you kill it
What is the appeal of MH? Should I bother with it if I like Dark Souls?
Should I be excited for MHW?

Dark Souls is about adventure and everything being glass canon including enemies and yourself.
Monster Hunter has a much different combat system, is about fighting a wide variety of large mother fuckers and collecting their shit to upgrade your gear in a much faster paced game.
Try out the MH series but don't even bring up the Souls series as a comparison. Just try the fucking game.

>What is the appeal of MH?
Energy filled characters, amusing dialogue, solid gameplay, great designs, amazing OST and a challenge that isn't insurmountable.
Grinding/farming is fun, but like Disgaea it's almost entirely optional.
>Should I bother with it if I like Dark Souls?
It's not that much like DS, liking DS means basically nothing.
>Should I be excited for MHW?
Decide for yourself.

>Should I bother with it if I like Dark Souls?
Solely because you like Dark Souls ? No
But if you have the time you should try the serie.

>think MH has bad hitboxes
Even Plesioth hip check and pretty much the entirety of FU has better hitboxes than Souls.
I think the comparisons come from both being melee focused with long attack windups and a dodge roll. Appeal of MH is the gameplay loop of fight monster, upgrade gear, fight bigger monster and with its quirky visual style and animation choice.
Give it a shot. If you own a computer emulate MH3U on PPSSPP. Get the fan translation and HD pack. MH freedom might be more like the PS4 game however.

>soiling the monster hunter shitpost tradition with dark souls memes
come on guys we need to be more original, MHW has given us a lot of material to work with
I've never played a MH game. Which one should I play? Any platform is fine.
