Why is Monster Hunter World more popular than Rise on Steam?
Not playing any of those games at the moment but I found Rise more fun as a newbie. So this has always confused me.
I think it's a lot to do with the pacing of the games. Rise is a lot faster, World comes across as much more slow and methodical. Saying that I do enjoy Rise a lot more than World, which I always bounced off of and couldn't get in to.
If I wanted to spend 30+ minutes in a game tracking monsters through bushes then killing them with traps I'd play Rising Storm Vietnam.
Tbf Rise also makes you run around catching Spiribirbs. If you are on pc there is a mod to bypass that but otherwise it becomes a chore when you have grown accustomed to the map.
