    Few days ago my first ever MHGU journey begun! Im playing solo through the village stories at the moment:

    Finally got to star 3 quests, yesterday i was able to power through a lot of the tedious delivery quests.

    Man i forgot how much of a slog the beginnings of older Monster Hunters are before World. MHGU didnt start to pick up until the later half of star 2, but overall Im having a great time outside of that


    Here's some quick thoughts in comparison to World:

    • Pros

    Character personalities

    Collected materials are more impactful

    TWO Palicos

    Monster variety (its no secret even tho MHW is amazing, it has probably the least amount of skeleton diversity besides maybe gen 1 mh)

    Hunter Arts

    • Cons

    Slower quest progression

    Slower equipment progression

    Some quality of life stuff missing

    Map designs (although still overall good & some are still really great so far, but World just has the best overall maps imo so far in the series)

    Forced to do some delivery quests & pack monster quests

    Map loading

    No voice acting

    Quick thoughts in comparison to Rise:

    • Pros

    Collected materials are more impactful

    Monsters are tougher

    More quests (i know its MHGU so it has "everything", but in general Rise has some of the least amount of quests than any except for maybe OG MH3 & prior)

    More grounded/traditional story of just being a hunter/explorer

    Better immersion

    More in-depth village

    • Cons

    Clunkier combat (although not bad, Rise just has the best of series thus far)

    No dogs 😡🤨 (Palamutes are introduced in Rise n needs to be a staple from here on out)

    Forced to do some delivery stuff & pack monster quests

    Some quality of life stuff missing

    Map loading

    No voice acting


    Overall i like it better than Rise as of now, but less than World. If you put MHGU mixed with World then sprinkle a little bit of Rise (n maybe an improved version of underwater combat) then u have the perfect Monster Hunter game.

    And YES, Im all Tetsucabra'd out from my Switch Axe down to my clothes b. One of the best looking armor sets (n a top 10 monster in general) n im upset we got cuck'd out of it in Rise, but im glad i can have it here 😎 🐸

    Im also rocking two stun, one expert n one attack jewels atm WE OUT HERE

    Nibelsnarf is a hoe and a half. Super annoying for a 3-star monster.

    Apparently he's easy as hell with hammer though.

    His movements are so annoying too like a Piscene Wyvern but worse

    Had my first cart finally early today in my second 4star quest, it was against Shogun Centaur, i was not ready n really unprepared

    Didnt realize it was in a volcano its a new area n didnt read details so no cool drinks, forgot he caused bleed unlike the other one n then i forgot u gotta crouch in this to heal it unlike world where they have an easy item, n his additional attacks caught me off guard

    N to top it all of i had my first hunt failure too in this game with him, i killed him when i didnt know i was suppose to catch him

    My build for the game is also going for Expert n KO 🔥

    Yeah the early village quests are honestly not too bad save for a few monsters. Shogun Ceanataur is a b**** because of the bleed + that dumb spin attack. Gypceros almost gave me a brain aneurysm.

    G-Rank is where the bullshit really starts flying at you at mach speeds.

    This is also slightly off-topic but it looks like MH: World was given the checkmark for Steam Deck compatibility

    Handheld World so soon

    True lmao
    The thing I love about rise is the same thing that a lot of people hate about it; cutting out all the gathering

    Don’t get me wrong, I love gathering and tracking monsters, but removing that to just focus on pure monster hunting made the game feel much quicker to me. Also the movement is beautiful. If they mix the best parts of world, rise, and MHGU, it would be the great MH of all time

    Anyways, I’ll dip my toes back in a bit but I think I’ll probably wait for sunbreak. Expansions are usually where these games shine

    I think it just went too far with streamlining, playing MHGU rn and some of it is annoying (even tho MH Gen OG is what treally started the streamlining) especially how we were forced to do at least a few gather, egg n pack quests before World. In MHGU you can auto find the mon, but its a consumable (psychoserum iirc) that last 20secs.

    Thats part of the reason why World is the best imo, because I feel it rides the line of both eras perfect. Gathering was still a thing in World, but it was way easier to upgrade n you can grab stuff right away as youre running by. You never had to do an expedition in World.

    I think scoutflies in World is the best tracking method too. It does act as a pseudo waypoint when you boil it down to the simplest argument, but it still felt like you are a part of the searching & had to follow something to the destination, & it involved actual clue finding as well that actually still works without scoutflies.

    Wish scoutflies was a staple, I really thought it was going to be.

    LAGIACRUS MY BOI!

    I finally fought him again after so long, he's beautiful & my 2nd fav mon after Tigrex

    They did him JUSTICE in MHGU, his fight is so good & he actually works really well on land in this one when he sucks in the others outside of water

    My #1 fav fight in the game so far, Yian Garuda #2, Malfestio #3 & Najarala #4. Im in Star 5 now.

    PUT HIM RISE YOU COWARDS MAKE THAT SKELETON WORK I DONT CARE IF YOU HAVE SACRIFICE A COUPLE BODEIS RO MAKE LEVIATHANS WORK IN THE NEW ENGINE LETS PUT A STOP TO THAT MHW EXCUSE ITS PLAYED OUT

    Ive been busy the last few weeks so havent been playing nowhere near as much as i would like, but im in Star 8 quests now. Finally got to High Rank a few days ago:

    My Equipment Loadout ATM:

    General's Strongaxe (switch axe)
    Bone Helm S maxd out
    Nargacuga Mail almost maxd out
    Nargacuga Braces almost maxd out
    Bone Fauld S maxd out
    Jaggi Shingaurds maxd out
    Rook Tailmans

    Style Arts:

    Valor Style with Trance Slash 2

    My Positive Skills:

    Critical Eye +3 (maxd out)
    Knockout King (maxd out)

    My Negative Skill:

    Dragon Res -20 (when i finally fight stuff like Deviljho n Valstrax etc. Dragon elm mons, i'll switch to my tenderizer build in place of Critical Eye to not have neg Drag Res)

    Might be one of my best builds ever in the series so far tbh.

    Its been really cool. I finally got to fight Gore n Shagaru Magala the first time too.

    I first tried both of them, but man i almost timed out on Shagaru lmao the only mon to push me that long so far in GU. Shagaru is up there in my fav fights of the game so far along with Lagiacrus, Malfiesto, Astalos, Glavenus, Yian Garuda & Najarala.
