Can't they just say PC? I thought it was Entertaining Gaming Switch or something like that.

No, because it's not on Steam. They need to clarify that it's only on Epic Game Store so that everyone ignores it.

Just like everyone ignores Fortnite.

So it's F2P? I mean... When it had that beta before MHW on PC dropped no one gave a fuck. I might look into it on PS4.

Fortnite predates EGS, actually.
Besides, I was joking. I'm starting to think I should add a /s to make it abundantly clear lol

Definitely looking into this. Could be nice game until Iceborne comes out. I remember when Dauntless was announced before we heard anything about MHW existing. The only option on PC at the time was MH Online and God Eater so back then it garnered a little more interest. Since MHW got announced and released since then its taken much of the interest away from this game. Well hope its fun!

The gameplay footage doesn’t particularly inspire me but I’ll try any game for free

It's been on PC for a while via PL's own client, which I think is the reason for the distinction.
I paid for the early supporter pack way, way back. It's good game. Worth a shot.
I'm not huge into this genre, but I've actually spent more time with it than MH: World I think.

I played the game for a while till MHW came out. The game is a fun distraction but with MHW existing... I had no real reason to return to the game. Not a fan of the crafting system. Also the game I think relies on parties more than MHW does. I think I have about 30 hours in Dauntless and like 120 on MHW(PC).

I played dauntless for awhile and purchased a supporter pack. The game is fun but suffers from a lack of balance between some of the weapons and also relies too heavily on parties imo

Yeah... the time crunch also kinda hurts too. The lack of things in the world to do are also another killer for me. I love beating up on bosses but never been much for a boss fight simulator/grinder

I want to try it out for the first time, so I choose new game and then it says all servers are full, tells me to wait 30 minutes in queue. Nah.

Seems alright. Spent too much time being assaulted by microtransaction menus upon first impression. I dig monster hunter enough and if the boss battles and team tactics are deep enough this could be fun for a bit. I’ll give it the weekend at least.
Didn’t run into any Xbox players but did pc. Cross play and cross progression is awesome so I support that alone. I want that for all my favorite games.
Also looks like shit. Not the art style I mean... but that too. Probably not optimized to run enhanced consoles yet with the bells and whistles. Seemed low res and washed out. I imagine that’ll improve in time.
I’m hoping this helps monster hunter in the short term because there’s still a huge difference in pedigree

I find the art less appealing than Fortnite, to be honest.
Also, I find the loading times to be unreasonably long.

The developers have said they were mostly influenced by World of Warcraft and Dark Souls, beyond the obvious Monster Hunter influences.

In terms of gameplay or art? World of Warcraft i can see (another art style that i don't like at all) but i don't see any trace of Dark Souls art direction.

World of Warcraft art, Dark Souls combat and difficulty, at least eventually. The game uses a stamina bar like Dark Souls, and the developers intend for most players to be able to reach endgame content, but they want some optional encounters after that to be very hard and very uncommon to have completed.

Yeah. I'm not a big fan of the art style, but it was never a deal-breaker for me.

Yeah, MHW this is not, not even close.
I wonder if this is all there is? I've only been going on hunts for these behemoths and there don't seem to be any other creatures roaming around. Something that made MHW so great, among other things. I've now almost fought all those behemoths. What else is there?
