I honestly do not see the point of the monster-hunter-series. Could someone explain it to me? Maybe I would buy it :)

    Not easy to explain. First of all its not a casual game, you must learn the monsters movements and build strategy. No levels, kill to farm gear. Slaying mighty dragons with friends, many playstyles

    The game flow is simple. You gather stuff from everywhere (from herbs to insects to mining and fishing) so you can prepare yourself for the hunts. Then you hunt big monsters and use their body parts

    sounds repetitive and therefore plain and boring, it's not. The reason is that the fighting itself, a core mechanic of the game, is based 80% on player skill and only 20% on equipment. This means that

    a bad player with the best armors and weapons would still fail quests while someone who knows what they're doing could succeed with much worse gear. This is one of the allures of the series. The fact

    that you yourself as a player get better at fighting the monsters over experience, trial and error, and not through level ups and stat boosts. The game doesn't hold your hand, and has a steep learning

    it wasn't just an inevitability that simply required you to level up more. Also, due to the fact you make gear out of the stuff you fight, your character is a walking trophy. And since there's tons of

    I suggest trying the demo. It's hard to explain to some one without them having tried it out, as it is a pretty unique game. On the surface it looks like a huge grindfest.

    But the game is challenging enough to keep you engaged throughout, with each fight having a really unique feel. Weapon choice and loadouts keep the playstyle fresh too.

    Multiplayer is great fun, where teamwork really matters. The basis of the game is to collect parts to make armors and weapons to collect more parts from harder quests. Sounds boring but as I said
