I have to give the game a 9 because, as previously stated by another review, the game lacks joining in a friend's mission unless you're in the same Game Session or they shoot an SOS flare. Other than that, for the people that felt combat was clunky, Dark Souls III was clunky when I first started until I figured out the combat system. There is a reason there is a lot of 9s and 10s, most of those are people that have played the game before. If you're new to the game then you probably should wait more than 24 hours to give the game a fair assessment. There are decision points when to do that powerful combo or when to hold back. The grind of this game is far superior than any other game. The labor matches the reward. The other thing I'm extremely fond of is the idea that I take this weapon and I make decision points I can't take back to progress my gear through a massive tech tree. But the game is also forgiving in that sense, I can always create the first weapon of the tech tree and make new decisions and have a completely different outcome. I think all newcomers to the Monster Hunter genre need to take a step back and fully digest the game instead of making an assessment after 24 to 48 hours, you have a lot of catching up to do. For the veterans that gave this game a 0, also step back from your elitist ways and think about the evolution of gaming. Walking and drinking or eating is a real life thing people can do, why not make that part of the game itself instead of keeping a game in a box that was created over 15 years ago. Also if you haven't made it past HR 8 when you made this assessment you probably should double back on it and fight some of the latter monsters the game has to offer, fights get pretty intense when fighting one monster and another monster appears well above your current gear level. Same thing for scout flies, I like that when I progress up and hunt the monster several times it gets easier with the scout flies, so what if they show you plants and other items, if you think the game is calling you dumb then you need to go to your bathroom mirror and tell yourself that not everything is about you and to stop taking things so personal. I hope this game continues to draw in a large crowd, I'm tired of games that never have purposeful endgame in sight. I could seriously see this game holding my attention for a very long time. I've had a very hard time not getting distracted with building more gear over progressing story.

I don't write reviews often first and foremost... I just want to express that this game has been a blast, hasn't felt like a P2W at all. Fighting experience and the adventure is fun on its own, add in the fact that you can raid bases, feels like raiding a base in clash of clans or boom beach but with the same combat system as adventuring through the tower. Also the ability to send your fighters out into the tower to hunt other players is just more thumbs up.... I imagine this game will grow, with a foundation like this, I can assume it will only get better!

I can't believe the poor ratings this gets, too often critics tend to compare new games to the industry leaders. This game is super unconventional when discussing MOBA, if you're looking for a change of pace then this is the game. Great dynamics and it has massive potential to grow in the future.
