Asking if monster hunter is worth it is like asking someone if the sky is blue
It's blue until Gore Magala shows up ;)
@@NovaBushido gore magala was one of my fav hunts in mh4u
@@NovaBushido you, I like you 😁
@showbizonastick First of all, stop liking your own comments :P, 2ndly na you don't have to grind in this game. Without grinding there's a lot of content, with grinding there's much much more.
And the best thing about this game, NO HANDLER
As a person who never played a monster hunter game, this seems to be one.
"The one"?
Oh its “The” One ;P
most new players hate the game at first. just stick to one or two weapons and your skill will scale with your enjoyment of the game. happy hunting ! :D
Please be patient. This game has a STEEP curve, but it's satisfying af once you get into it.
Consider *Monster Hunter Stories 2* too IMO.
Some Japanese tech company CEO gave his employees Friday off and called it MonHun Holiday. This game is a big deal in Japan!
All those Japanese Switch owners... This is a huge game that's dropping for sure.
The only other game that gets that kind of hype over there is Dragon Quest, a DQ release is an unofficial bank holiday.
The CEO is probably giving people the day off because he knows people will just skip work to play it so he’d rather just give them the day off instead.
Monster Hunter a Dragon Quest are 2 games series that are huge Japan and they're getting bigger over here but they're still not as big.
I took a week's worth off for this :3
Granted, I had alot of unused leave last year that got carried over.
I'm not into Monster Hunter, but I'm so glad for the fans that this isn't a disappointment. Happy hunting guys!
Thank u !!
Same, but I personally *LOVED Monster Hunter Stories (3DS)* and thus I'm excited for MHS 2! :D
(It's more *raising your monster, riding them and fighting alongside them with rich story,* so I highly recommend it if you like tradition RPGs!)
@@TheInfinityMaster1 I'm excited for Monster Hunter Stories 2 as well!! When I saw the first tralier for the second game I bought first game straight away, It's really good!! I'm glad I still have my 3DS :^)
@@TheInfinityMaster1 I'm more excited for MHS2 as well!!! I sunk like 400+ hours into the first game
Thank you for not shitting the game as other people do
10:15 Alex you monster you can't just yoshi your dog like that.
lol I was thinking the same thing.
i waited until then to see what you meant and thats definitely what we used to do with yoshi lol
Seeing actual gameplay footage got me even more hyped.
What is hyped?
Title got "Is it worth it?"
MH Veterans: A question irrelevant. It does not matter - it's MH
Fr xD been here since mh1, still mad I never got to play the wii games
@@ReaperPLUR I owned the Tri on the Wii, but I had to drop it. I really disliked the underwater combat, but the reason I finally did drop it was the resolution. I don't need fancy graphics, but I literally could not read the text on that resolution. (my eyes are also not the greatest)
@@mastaw thats understandable, if the wii ever drops to like 30-40 bucks ill prolly pick one up just to try it
I played the MH3U demo on 3DS and I got hooked.
It didn't matter to me that my big hands had to maneuver with the tiny 3DS controls for half an hour (or more).
It didn't matter that I got my ass handed by Plesioth and Lagiacrus.
It didn't matter that I had no wii therefore no MP, and would have to solo the entire game.
It was the thrill of the hunt.
It was exciting. I simply had fun.
That's when I knew a hunter's life was life for me. I bought all MH mainlines from then on and their consoles to this day.
Isn't that the exact same discussion with Pokémon fans?
Alex I love your pure join in your voice when you review games. Its so refreshing and easily my favorite game reviewers is NintendoLife because you guys seems like your really care!
Keep up the awesome stuff
And the utter dread in his voice when reviewing poorly made games.
@@I_was_a_Bullfrog i cannot wait until they have to review Balan Wonderland hahaha
ur the same guy who talked about how gamexplain have been reviews
Coincidence, I think not
@@frealish6622 It feels like even the TITLE for the game was poorly thought out, considering a ton of people (myself included) keep calling it "Wonderland" instead of "WonderWorld."
"Balan Wonderland" just sounds more natural to say lol
@@levenix1781 I saw this review and then watched the gamexplain review. Its was such a jarring difference in quality. Dereks, Johns and Ashes reviews used to be why I loved gamexplain
That khezu hunting horn is quite terrifying.
Took the words right out of my mouth
You should see the Red Khezu one, it's somehow more terrifying
All its weapon's desings look scary D:
Me who already pre-ordered the game while watching this vid: 👁️👄👁️
Same here. Funny thing is I hated this game at one point. A bit of a story on the. I can't remember being this hyped for a game release in a long time.
Me who pre ordered the special edition switch just for this game o_O
Me who is playing to game right now 0-0
First time playing this franchise and I have to say this game is beautiful, really applaud the folks that are understanding the complex menus and systems. I'm getting there but it is a learning curve haha
Naturally it is worth it, a Monster Hunter game lasts at least for 100 hours and if someone wants 1000 hours out of it, they can get it. (Edit: I want to add that 1000 hours wasn't meant as a recommendation as far as playtime goes. Depending on your goals, grinding can be a waste of time or it can be training and having fun. My recommendation is to use your time wisely, take long breaks and play other games too.)
1000 hours, wow!
That’s true. I didn’t clock 1000 but I did clock 800 hours in world. Generations though? Maybe double that.
Basic game is no way 100 hours
@@crocodiledowny2191 i put 800 in base world and now with iceborne 3500 plus...
@Crimson Ray Putting 1000 hours into a game is definitely not for everyone. But putting 100 h into mh game is pretty easy to do if you want to.
All these reviews and gameplay of the Rampage just makes me want to get the Switch more and more and more for this game. I'm so close to wanting one I can practically taste it. The only thing stopping me is whether or not the Switch Lite and Rise alone is worth all the money and Idk what other major games there are for the Switch (I like to always have different games available at all times)
Can't get over how pretty this game is.
Me too, pretty ugly lol
@@thealphanoid6160 ok
Is it better looking than the demo I want to luke this game but wow I was not impressed it looked like an early ps3 game
I am really surprised and glad that you only had two foolish comments on this.
@@notrenbanney2450 yeah the game looked like shit

I search if someone also noticed that, I'm glad that I'm not the only polish guy who laughed about that name ^^
Wow, I really wasn’t on board until watching this review. Definitely buying!
It's crazy how good the performance is in this. I remember doing MH World on PS4 Slim and having drops down into the teens in the Ancient Forest. Same goes with MH World on my XB1 S. Meanwhile, while the games visuals are definitely paired back from World, it looks great for Switch and what I've seen played and seen so far, it runs pretty well. Also, the gameplay... good lord. Everything I played in the demo was great! I can't wait to get this!
Well MHRise uses ages old tricks on switch.
Exactly the same list of tricks as versions from PSP which is sub dividing areas in small, same cells. But clever world design wont let you see this. Cells have different size thanks to maintaining more or less the sake poly/object count, landscapes are planning with rule of triangles (optical "illusion").
It is by no means worse by this fact. I do respect older productions when devs had to stick to disk/cd sizr
MH world is more... modern in that regard (like modern AAA). They just made a huge game for everyone, bugs are being overwritten, additional season contents mess base game but no problem "here, catch latest 1.2GB update .
Wow I just realized how soon it will release...
Nice review. Kudos.
Probalby best to note that you can use a USB keyboard to chat in the game.
It doesn't replace voice chat but it'll help for communication with randoms.
do palicos still have the palico gear things?you know the heal wasp and coral ocastra
I just love clicking on the video and hearing "hello there lovely people"
Last time I was as hyped as now was a day before the Nintendo Switch launch
Can you create a black cat? I can't seem to edit mine. Just gray at best.
Are the skills more akin to the world system or an older mh or totally different?
I have to ask with the charge blade. What happened to the block indicators? Certain parts in some animations, it blocks an attack better than blocking normally. Monster generations had steam to indicate when in the animations can block, helping people know when to do it.
Then they removed that in world and rise. Why did the remove this? I so hope the patch it back in
Quick question. Does it support HD rumble? I’m thinking about buying a new pro controller but if it doesn’t support HD rumble, I don’t see the point.
Loved your energy in the video Alex! You just sounded so excited and like you really enjoyed the game and really love the Monster Hunter series! I was already hyped as a long time Monster Hunter fan, but now I'm feeling even more energized and can't wait to play!
Can’t wait! I have it preloaded ready to go, just waiting for my pro controller to arrive now 😌
i got REALLY exited when i saw that rise is coming to pc (i kinda hit the wall in world, grinding out "leitlande" (dunno how its called in english) kinda gets boring relativly fast) and actually seeing the gameplay now gave me even more exitment even tho i didnt know what to think about the demo (im an insectglaive user and everything felt more floaty and i wasnt used to such a slow bug). but rise will definitly be something i will have to check out, so ye, thanks for that review
Thrilled to hear this is good, pre-ordered the hell out of it now. Can't wait for Friday
Cant wait to put in 500+ hours on this
I think we would be bored after minimum 120h since there is no real endgame after hub/village (dont know if rampage mode is enough)
@@aeoncalcos6082 the devs usually update the game regularly after release so I think it won't be long before they expand upon the base game. Specially when G rank arrives.
@@carlosvalle9234 i guess so😭
Maaan I really love monster hunter but i'm getting so angry when I see how they start off just like monster hunter world:(
Still a great game but..yea.. just 50+ hours makes me sad
Monster Hunter has come such a long way, sad to say that I'm not a core player anymore but still remember playing Monster Hunter: Freedom Unite on the PSP as a kid. Great times! :)
I'm here playing Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate like "Bruh, I cannot wait for Monster Hunter Rise."
“Stone Cold classic for the switch”!
This game is absolutely amazing. I'm new to the Monster Hunter Franchise and this review is why I picked it up! Thank you Capcom and Nintendo Life!
if rise amazed you I think mhworld would be overwhelming for you
This might be an even better birthday present than I expected!
I can be a Bard with a Shark horn? Say no more
...that's not a shark. That's a leech. That's a leech that came out of the Umbrella Corporation.
If you're talking about the Horn at ~20:00, A. That's not the sharks horn, that's the horn of a stupid flabby eel/leach thing no one really likes, and B. *You've yet to see the REALLY fun stuff*
That's a Khezu horn, the gross leech dragon monster you saw earlier in the vid with the extendable neck. :''D
@@druidt8949 I wish Gigginox was back just so I can make it's awesome coffin horn lol.
The fact that the dumb template designs from World are virtually gone in Rise means we get a lot of fun horn designs to choose from!
Even better if layered weapons come back at some point.
@@druidt8949 I like it
Me seeing a new Monster Hunter after I depleeted my backlog due to lockdowns:
I will milk you
I can't wait to play 1k+ hours in this game. I hope they have an interesting end game mechanic to keep me playing like in MH4U. Missed out on MHGU since I didn't have a switch and I buy limited edition console of every MH game since MH4U.
I think this is the ideal MH game to start off with for beginners, as a person who swore to not touch any of the games in the series this one changed my mind. 👍🏽
Ah I'm so happy to see my old nemesis, the Zinogre, has made it here too.
Monster Hunter Generations on 3DS was not Japan exclusive.
Japan had an exclusive version of Generations 3DS that had extra content but you could still buy the non exclusive version of Monster Generations 3DS outside of Japan.
They ported the exclusive Japanese version of Monster Hunter Generations to the Switch and titled it Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.
IGN could take lessons from you on doing video reviews. Great review, good presentation, not ambiguous as to good points of the video.
5k hours on MHWIB, 3k hours on MHGU. lets see if this bad boi will give me 5k or more.
I'm still on the fence about diving into this game. It looks great, but way unlike anything I've enjoyed before. Could you explain to me, what's the biggest replay value thing that draws you back for thousands and thousands of hours? How does it not run out of fun or content??
I ask this as someone who's sunk hundreds of hours into the Hyrule Warriors games, so I get how even the grindiest of games can be worth doing endlessly if you enjoy them enough. What makes _this series in particular_ so engrossing to you personally?
The satisfaction of building and upgrading new armor and weapons from monsters you become attached to from fighting them, and the fact that there’s 14 weapons to do this with, results in a ton of gameplay to go around. Monster Hunter has lots of quests, with a wide variety of monsters to bring different weapons against, so the crafting you’ll be doing is worth it.
Though 3k hours is kinda insane tbh
@@SomeTH-camTraveler The combat and gameplay loop is just so satisfying. Hunting monsters is extremely fun, and the sense of continually improving is satisfying. Not only does your hunter’s armor and weapons steadily improve, but you as a player improve with each fight. There’s just something so satisfying about progressing in the game because YOU got better. And the fights are just so engaging and fun that it never feels like a grind, which is a pretty big accomplishment in my book. Even when I have to fight the same monsters multiple times to get the loot that I need, it doesn’t feel like I’m grinding. And it always feels good to take down a tough monster.
@@SomeTH-camTraveler the fights themselves are fun, at some point it changes from I'm trying to get better/get armor and wepons/get faster times to just pure I'm just gonna hunt because it's that fun, whether it's solo or with a group, or you just want the atmosphere of the hunt, the energy a monster going all out with it's theme blasting in the background. I just keep hunting.
@@randombloke165 this is the best summary of why MH games are so great. Well written.
I’ve been playing since Monster Hunter Freedom and this is the most excited I’ve been since Monster Hunter Unite. This and all Monster Hunter games are 100% worth it. Can’t wait for my special edition system and limited edition game to arrive.
Ah, a fellow freedom player. Yeah, Freedom Unite was an incredible release day! We finally got G Rank for the first time in the states haha.
Picking up this game tomorrow, and Switch comes in Monday. New Switch owner(of course amidst rumored Pro model "coming")excited to play this and the many other exclusives. Put in 700 hours into World, so really hoping this game is well supported :)
You should make a introduction video :)!!! And just talk about your history with it and favorite weapon etc :)
OK, yes, the credits did roll WAY earlier than expected, ironically enough, the only monster that I died to was Khezu, though that's probably because that's the last monster I used the base armor against.
After that, it was Khezu armor team for life and beat Magnamalos and the others first try.
How is this game solo? How is the connection? Is it easy to meet people? Thanks
0:33 his character looking just like him had me laughing out loud 😂😂😂
11:38
Here's your new mission hunters... *Protect the little cinnamon roll!*
The whole lack of voice chat is a non-issue for my group, because Discord is super easy to set up and use.
Needless to say, I am absolutely positively without a doubt in my mind excited to play this game.
Also anyone worried about no G-Rank, don’t worry about it, MH games don’t typically launch with G-Rank, and we know they’re releasing free updates with more Monsters over time, so it will come eventually.
First think i think about G rank, How much time do you think will pass before it comes?
@@elladan23 probably a year or sometime late this year. We already know a free update with new monsters is planned for April, so if they keep up that pace of monthly updates post-launch I could see them potentially releasing an update with G-Rank variations.
Or maybe they’ll release a DLC expansion like they did with Iceborne.
How do you get discord audio and game audio into one headset?
@@mox9574 you play the with both coming from your high-quality speakers. If you’ve got them positioned properly and have your sensitivity set correctly the audio won’t bleed through your microphone.
@@bender9740 thanks man!
Honestly, I would love a video introducing me to the game. I've always been on the fence and never really gave the series a chance. This review is definitely leaning me in one direction
Look up Gajin hunter or Ruikan. Both of them have amazing introductions to the series, as well as Super rad who is doing a history of every weapon and Handitips gaming who atm is live streaming GU on TH-cam and hopefully soon with Rise
Imo one of the best ways to get into the series is to have a (hopefully patient) friend who already loves MH play the game with you.
They can walk you through basics to get you started, and then over the course of the early-game they could answer or help you understand some of the less intuitive stuff.
I hated MH1 when I tried it on my own. I didn't like Tri when I played with another person who never tried it before.
Then I gave it another shot with MH3U with a more experienced player (along with some early Gaijin Hunter tutorials) and fell in love.
I introduced some friends to World in a similar way and they got really into it as well.
I am so pumped for this! I can’t wait!
waaaait generation for 3ds wasnt japan exclusive was it? i remember playing it on my 3ds
This will be my first monster hunter game I'm getting really excited to see how it plays and try out all the weapons.
This was just a joy to watch and listen to Alex was soo much into it that I got suuper hyped 🤩
Is Doshin The Giant one of the monsters you can hunt?
How is the battery life on Switch v1?
Excellent review guys been loving the content for a while now
Anyone knows that name with that sword/club with a mouth? It appears at 4:09
I want it so badly.
Khezu hunting horn
Every time I play the Demos for these games I find myself enjoying it but I always feel excited hearing fans talk about the series and their games. Hopefully my time will come but I saw someone mention MH stories so I might try that out next
Edit:
Watching this game play looks so exciting though 🤣 maybe I should try one more time, from level 1 with the full game instead of the demo
1:29 what weapon is this?
Just preordered the T-shirt bundle off the Nintendo UK store and the MHR pro controller off Amazon uk, gonna be my first monster Hunter game 👀
Is the game support rumble? How it's feels?
12:06 That is until you play both the village AND hub quest sections of the story.
Can somebody please tell me where the monster's health bar is supposed to be? I can't seem to beat them and they just keep running away and I get frustrated and just give up the chase
There are no health bars. You just need to kill it. Trust me once you Will learn the game the most of the frustration with it will go away. And youv got palamute so if monster goes away just hop on him and folow him its not that big of the deal.
april 10( my birthday) cant come sooner enough for me to finaly play this amazing game.
that khezu hunting horn is the closest we get to a naruto collab (kisames sword)
I am so ready for this!! :''''3 plz do an intro to Monster Hunter video, I'd love to see more new peeps get into the game! :D
that khezu hunting horn looks funny
can you still cut off the tail of monsters for the loot? last MH game i played was on PSP haha one of my favorite game hands down.
I still dont get the issues with implementing voice chat. Especially with games that are multiplayer focused. That said, i will be picking this up Friday.
I have one question... how's the remapping? The demo didn't let me remap the controls in a way that leads to less mistakes. I wanted Y and X to be attack buttons and A to be the sheathe/use item button but it wouldn't let me do that.
You have to buy the main game you idiot
@@ralphtaylor7448 That's what I was asking. I was asking if the main game lets you remap the buttons freely, because the demo only lets you choose between templates. I don't want to drop $60 only to find out that it works the same way as the demo.
@@waxwinged_hound typical switch owners all hype no money
@@ralphtaylor7448 I don't want to waste money on a game I won't be able to enjoy. I'd be able to buy it, I just don't want it to go to waste if I won't enjoy it.
You can easily remap the buttons in the Switch system settings, save them as Monster Hunter, then load them as needed.
So I have a question guys I just purchased the game and before I play it I am worried it’s going to take me a while to get decent at fighting and learning how to fight in general. Or is it not that hard to learn how to utilize your weapons and stuff. Any tips or thoughts would be much appreciated! Hope everyone is enjoying the game
Was that Barroth armour on the dog!? Love that armour!? Let's GOOO!
So damn hyped for this weekend.
Title: Monster Hunter Rise review, is it worth it?
Me looking at my wallet: Every Penny
Same eevee friend same
I’m so excited to hunt with others on a whole different playing field! I’ve been having so much fun with the demo!!! Monster Hunter Rise is almost out!!!
Mhw was my first in the franchise to actually click with me but wow. Rise has made an incredible impression on me and I've only had it for a day. I wish this series got the fan attention it deserved ):
I especially like the fact you pointed out the pandemic when talking about the endgame. We really are in a once every hundred years kind of ordeal, it's a totally fair thing to point out. I'd imagine there are quite a few game developers just trying to hold thier lives together who'd say the same thing. Cheers!
Im so unbelievably excited!
Im planning to get this since i grew up with god eater burst. I got god eater 3 and they look so similar but monster hunter looks even better
Is this game good single player I'm not going to play connected to internet , will I miss out or is online better?
_anyone else just replaying this until it comes out?_
Is MHR worth it?
Short answer: yes
Long answer: yeeeeeeesssss
Is it me or does this look way better than the first demo (didn't play the 2nd). I wouldn't say the demo looked rough but I could see maybe the lil' switch's limitations vs what they wanted to achieve and this somehow looks stunning.
did they keep monster hunter worlds expedition system i really hope they did thatd be my selling point
Wasn’t even gonna grab this, but I just bought it and can’t wait for it to download so I can play! Great review. You’re my go to for Nintendo reviews
Great review, when's your guy's join button? ^^
Is this possible to play if you dont have online?
Yes you can play both hub and village quest solo
Is it worth it to buy a switch to play mh rise? Im also planning to play other games on switch but rise will be my 1st game that i would play, I also finished iceborne on pc.
I bought my Switch because of Rise. MHRise for me really feels worth it having the fresh experience. It doesnt really feel that short but it does feel easy. Been playing MHGU now and goes back to MHRise when I feel like it. MHRise is great if you are playing to finish the game, it only doesnt feel great grinding for HR999. Nevertheless, you can wait for the G Rank expansion release in 2022 if you don't want to on Switch.
Plus MHR is also set to release in PC in 2022
Edit: Focus on getting MH6 tho (World: Iceborne is MH5 Ultimate while Rise is MH5 Portable), I suggest, since you can play Rise in PC. MH6 may come in PS5/XBSXish like hardware.
4:39 RIP Nate Dawg
Wondering how the graphics looks like when playing on tv. I played the beta and felt like it was 720p on tv, which supports 4K. Other than that, I enjoyed that game!
It looks great when you play it on a 1080p monitor or TV! When I use it on my 4k, upscaling makes it look a bit iffy. If you have a 1080p TV/Monitor, Id recommend using that!
This will be my first Monster Hunter game guys, wish me luck
Have fun :D
How do you like it?
I'm late to the party, but looking to buy the game and... Wow. I'm having difficulty believing this was captured on the Switch. It looks and performs amazing!
I have a silly question though: can I pause the game? I bought it for PC and refunded because I couldn't, but I heard that you can pause on the Switch, either by going to the home menu, or via an option in game.
Presumably if you go to the home menu the game will not just continue playing in the background, right?
I’ve never played a Monster Hunter game. Been wanting to play one for a while. I’m gonna pick this up.
Its a great joy to play monhun again on Airports or just anywhere, just dont forget to bring your extra powerbanks
I love fantasy, boss fights and leveling characters. I've never played a MH game, Is this hard to learn? need advice before i decide to buy. thanks!
It is alot too learn. But once you do learn it's the most satisfying game. So if recommend just jumping in and get started.
Can't wait to get my copy :)
