That said, you might like this one. They streamlined a lot of the more tedious aspects of older monster hunter games so you don't waste a lot of time picking herbs and you don't have to prep your backpack quite as much. What you focus more on looking for the monster and killing it.
There's a lot of depth, but as the enemy design is very unique I don't know if you'll be able to play it as an action game.
robio said:That's kind of a tough question. Everyone tends to find a different weapon that they really like but it's not always what you expect. Dual blades, great sword, and longsword are all good straightforward weapons. If you want a more complex form of combat, the insect glaive opens up some pretty cool abilities.

Thanks guys.
Yeah i dont want to cycle through five million items and do a bunch of tediosu crap. Just let me fight giant monsters, do crazy moves and dodge and attack and fun stuff. A few traps is fine but those old games were just filled with random stuff.
I finally got some shaft and did it ever feel good.

Um. 'Scuse me?
I actually got shaft twice tonight. Lucky me! 
Well played good sir.

There's nothing quite like going at it with your huge weapon, bludgeoning your favorite big burly beast untill either of you can take no more and succumbs only to get your shit back together and give it another go after a short breather. 
Whenever I see "shaft" used in some video game context, it takes me back to playing Quake in Capture the Flag mode. Whenever one player would kill another with the Thunderbolt/lightning gun the death message would read "Player One accepts Attacker's shaft." And that still makes me giggle.

Indeed.

That’s hilarious.
Anyway to give my shaft more context I was actually able to acquire a Hero’s Streamstone: Shaft the other day, two in a row no less. These will allow me to add augments to my rarity 8 Insect Glaives. I have gotten a bunch of others but they would always be for the other weapons and not my main. I swear the Desire Sensor in this game is strong.
It's quite random no? I must say I'm not liking this new randomness. It's also apparent in how you aquire the gems and Kulve Tarroth weapons. Seems like a cheap way of stretching the game, very contemporary.
Yeah they along with jewels are random rewards for doing Tempered Elder Dragon investigations. You can give your weapons slight buffs in Attack, Defense, Health Regen, or adding Slots for more jewels.
Now that I have them I’m too hesitant to use them as I’m currently unsure as to how I want to augment my weapon.
I started this, I picked dual blades. Only did one mission. How long should I give it before I get a good idea of the game.

I'd say at least 25 hours. 
In all seriousness though I'd stick with it untill you've fought a flying wyvern, as by then you'll have a good idea of what the different beasts are like. Also, the an ient for rest is a crap region. I've been playing for 80 hours and I still can't wrap my head around the layout.
Also try out different weapons. Each class really shakes up how fights play out.
edit: if you want we could try to play co op some time. I have the game on Xbox and I'm still fairly early on there and we're 'only' 6 hours apart. I'm free this Saturday as of 2:30 pm your time if you're interested.
And as SupremeAC said if you need someone to play with and you're on PS4, let me know. That said, you're also better off continuing to play solo for a while. You progressed faster with a friend, but it's important to familiarize yourself with the territories so you know where are all the camps in other little secrets are.
I got game pass for 3 months, it has this. I hated the demos of previous MH games, just too much shit going on. If I play this what should I be, I want it to play like an action game.
