FINALLY Hit HR
So, I'm new to the series. I dabbled with Freedom Unite back in the glory days of that brick we called a handheld, but never really got into it.
But this game. Oh my god this game.
Not since Dark Souls has a game challenged me to get better, to learn it's mechanics and monsters, and give such reward (and heartbreak) for your playing.
And now that I've reached Rank 11, it gets to start all over.
Monsters swat me around again (MUCH harder), my weapons take much longer to kill them like they did before, and some even gain new movesets that I have to learn. And I absolutely love it.
Sure, late-game is all a grind for getting gems and making A and B gear, but dammit if they don't keep it exciting and engaging. Most games where it's a focus on doing the same thing over and over get tired after a few dozen hours. But MHW keeps it fresh and exciting.
I love this game and can't wait to have my ass handed to me by Nergal until I finally triumph over his thorny ass.
If anybody has any tips or little pointers for a series rookie, you're more than welcome.
I main LSword currently, but I'm probably gonna take up Charge Blade for the DMC crossover.
