Monster Hunter Rise Second Demo Now Live, Free Post-Launch Updates To Follow

@qw90700: Hmm, no I have good memory of my gaming experiences, nothing noted above is incorrect and trying to flip it in that way comes across as immature. Witcher 3 you can play cards when the combat is too lame/ boring. Not to mention all the long conversations you'll have, that are well acted to the games credit.

The now successful Souls genre took inspiration from Monster Hunters combat back when Demon's Souls was interviewed. Words from Miyazaki himself. And is highly considered one of the pinnacles of ARPG combat mechanics. Then add that Monster Hunter only gets better and has optional four player coop.

Makes me wonder what point you was trying to make honestly. That you 'like the Witcher and have never played a Monster Hunter' <Seems right

"I think you liked monster hunter better because you lack brain"

Bait failed, try again.

When you have to use personal attacks to try and sway a debate, it loses all meaning. You resort to such things, as you have no counter argument to make.

Monster Hunter has vastly superior gameplay and combat mechanics. And this is because that is what MH does, and doesn't try and do anything else. That doesn't make The Witcher 3 a bad video game overall. Combat is just not a highlighted focus, it is a game designed for the open world market in the same way as Red Dead or a Grand Theft Auto (games I also assume you adore blindly). TW3 is a jack of all trades, master of. . . graphics and voice acting?

Enjoy your Yennefer sex scene at anycase qw. I assume you revisit it often.

@qw90700: It's hard to argue with the amazing combat of the witcher 3, I just think they're different kinds of games. Monster Hunter does get repetetive after a while, and Witcher 3 is a better overall game, but it's a slower burn. Sometimes it's nice to just jump right into action for a half hour, for that it's similar to why people still play COD or Halo. I also don't feel that combat is the main focus of Witcher 3, even if you don't oil up your weapons or make bombs, a lot of the times you can just keep dodging and use Quen to never take damage. You can also sometimes go a long time without fighting, which is fine, but shows it's more story driven.

@qw90700: You description of monster hunter is totally wrong they do have weakpoints like the head or belly, They also have elemental weaknesses, And targeting a part of the body can change the way they fight, damage a barioths claws will make it stumble when on ice.

@qw90700: played TW3 for 130h and loved every minute of it - but only due to its story and the amazing setting. The combat is its weakest part and is widely seen as infamous for its jank, no sense of weight when attacking, no deep combinations, no weapon variety to speak of and almost no player agency over how you want to approach a fight. Very much an arcade type of combat that just holds itself together to be at an okay standard.

People praising combat in TW3 simply havent expanded their horizon enough - even The Gothic games that are 15-20 years older did it better. Here worth mention is also Dragons Dogma - a game that pushed how combat could be evolved and structured. Though, where DD excells at its combat, it falls flat.

Praise TW3 for what it excells at.
