I'm not a player yet, but am really interested in this franchise.
Can anyone reccomed me the best game to start with for a complete newbie?

World

I like the gunlance. I know it does lower damage than other weapons but it's methodical and fun to me. Plus it go boom.

I fucking hate Rajang. He's not fun to fight and they need to just stop putting him in everything.

Breaking parts got nerfed for no reason in Rise. Breaking Samurai Kitty's tail should stop him from using his tail beam.

What consoles do you have? Do you have anybody to teach you?

Honestly the answer will probably be to either play Rise or World. It's very difficult to play older MonHun games especially if nobody more experienced is helping you because it's super frustrating. I tried playing Generations Ultimate by myself and never quite understood how it worked until someone explained it to me. Like, skills didn't do anything until I had 10 points in them or that I should look online for weapon trees. Granted, there's in-depth tutorials, but it helps to get carried for a while.

Anyway, start with an easy weapon like longsword and use the training area to get combos down before trying your first big monster.

I have only PC and unfortunately no one to teach me, so I guess, World is my choice.
Thank you for your advice, nona.

Go play around with different weapons and take it slow. If you get frustrated just try and change how you play. MonHun is about positioning and timing your moves. If you try and brute force or rush a monster you'll get kicked around like a soccer ball.

What a game, I got chased by almost every
I still enjoyed this a lot. I get used to dual blades and clutch claw, but I still don't really understand how to use traps and slinger. But I'll figure it out anyway

*every monster in the area

I'm really looking forward to Wilds. I loved MH World and it was engaging just going on aimless expeditions and observing the ecosystem. Wilds seems like an open world game and I'm hopeful Capcom could deliver one that's actually fun.

I'm a worldbab though, I tried some of the 3DS titles and the controls made my wrists and fingers ache and it still felt so clunky. Didn't really feel Rise either, the hunts were super short and there was so much gimmick content you were forced to do.

My favorite monsters in World were Odogaron, Nergigante and Lunastra. As for weapons, I played charge blade and insect glaive a lot but I'm a grug at heart and hammer was the most fun in the end.

The 3DS games are pretty rough. I had a friend try to get me in to the series with 4 but it didn't take until I played Rise. At this point I've gone and played Generations Ultimate with that person and I'm happy to have experienced crusty Pre-World MonHun but I wouldn't have done it myself.

I was trying to play Sword and Shield and running at enemies all the time so it's no wonder I had a bad time.

Since devs decided to go with more attention to ecology in MHW, I hope MHWilds will put even more emphasis on it. It already starts good with that huge herd of herbivores. I really hope to see some parenting behaviour (with monster babbehs, of course) and partner courting behaviour. That would be a really nice touch to the realism.
Speaking of favourite monster, I like Rathian. Her design is simple, but that is what makes it great, she's the most wyverny wyvern ever made. She has fair and fun fight unlike Rathalos who is just annoying and spams aerial fireballs constantly. I hate how fandom treats her like weaker wifey of Rathalos who constantly cucks him. No, she is just as strong, the most succesful forest predator and a good mother to her Rathlings.

I think it's nice time to bump this thread when 20th anniversary is here
