I only played the demo and I hated it. I found it slow, clunky and obtuse. If you're not supposed to just randomly swing at a monster until it drops dead 20 minutes later then I don't know what I'm supposed to do, as that seems like the only option. It didn't make me feel like a hunter.
Note that it is the only Monster Hunter game I ever played.
One thing that has been a breath of fresh air is that Capcom has been keen to take in input on world. Granted they are inconsistent at best with just about everything. But I am hopeful that when they made the inevitable true switch monster hunter game they will take the best of both worlds...or will make the biggest dumpster fire in history because Capcom. ?
I really recommend watching Gaijinhunter's weapon tutorial videos (or skimming; they're long) to get a better idea of how flowy some of the combinations can actually be. The combat is SUPER complex, but the demo (and even the full game tbh) does such a poor job of explaining that to people that people just think the game's about swiping at a monster until it dies. A lot of thought has to go into timing, positioning, and exactly where you hit the monster.
You know,, this is kind of funny. People were crying, complaining to capcom please send us the western version of monster hunter xx. Then capcom not only western the port, gave it more content than the Japanese port, people are still complaining, the graphics are not good enough. It doesn't look like world. It costs too expensive. When are you going to be satisfied? What is it going to take? At least the switch has a monster hunter game now so stop complaining.
MH4 involved some kind of epidemic that caused monsters to go berserk (becoming super aggressive) which could spread to the populace as well (hunters were only temporarily affected since the illness was not specifically attacking humans). Creatures were either displaced (causing an immediate threat to the nearby village) or had to be put down so the disease wouldn't spread.
Just like Monster Hunter 2, the game features second generation monsters, which premier on a Portable console. The also has two exclusive monsters, the Tigrex and Akantor. This list of new additions to the fauna of MHF2 however excludes the Yama Tsukami, as well as it's accompanying Tower. area.
Your character sets off on a quest to tour the land to see how different places have been affected by this weird phenomenon and figure out how to put an end to it. Along the way you meet different clans of people from peaceful elven like Wyverians to overly aggressive human hunters who consider befriending monsters a form of blasphemy.
Monster Hunter 2 (dos) is a Japanese-only entry in the Monster Hunter franchise, serving as the first second-generation title. It expands on everything from Monster Hunter Freedom and introduces new monsters, a season system, and locations.
