I’m a little torn on this one. When World was released, I was super excited to play the game and had a lot of fun with it (casually, maybe like 150h), but put the game down after that because it just didn’t have the charme I fell in love with when I started playing MH back in the PSP times.

I appreciate what Capcom is trying to accomplish with this super realistic, high-fidelity graphic style and “realistic” combat and gameplay and world, but it’s just not what’s representative of MH for me.

I do see the appeal, however, and am fine with essentially World 2 existing as long as the second team that made Rise also puts out a game similar to oldschool MH.
