One of the most popular franchises in Japan

Are there any Isekai with a setting similar to MH?
The ones I’ve seen all have the typical DQ knights and wizards setting.

Welcome to sandbox RPGs.

It does get more story as you go through the game.
MHGU has a modest story, and plenty of lore.
Older games actually have legends and stuff.

>The only anime adaptation is of the kiddie spinoff
And that's a good thing.

>but whats the story about?
You sound like the kinda guy that will like LOU part 2.

no one plays monster hunter for the story but instead for the satisfaction of taking down a giant boss after 20 tries and then doing it better 20 more times to get its armor and weapons
obviously it isn’t easy to get into with fights lasting 15 to 40 minutes but once you understand the feedback loop it can feel really rewarding

well it's a game
arguably the essence of a video game is it's gameplay
If all you want is write a good story might as well write a book

Its a video game
Its popular because it has good gameplay

Its like asking why popular anime has shit games.
Nobody watches that shit for the engaging gameplay
A good video game doesn't necessarily make for a good anime and vice versa
Except Made in Abyss.

Monster Hunter is, at the end of the day, about unga bunga men bashing huge animals with huge weapons. As it is it just doesn't translate well into a direct series.

You will see that soon enough with the new W. S. Anderson silver screen masterpiece.

Do people play this game in single player or it's always multi? I wanted to like it but after 60 hours and hitting a wall I gave up.

I do a little of both. Typically I like to hunt a new monster on my own and then multi when farming.

I play a lot of it alone even though I main a support weapon.
I like getting better.

Its more fun with friends though.

exploring that mhw forest with made in abyss music on the background is kino

i play in single but group hunts can also be really fun if you’re with people you know, and the gameplay (weapons and monsters) have a lot of depth and requires a lot of practice and learning so it isn’t a game for everyone especially western audiences
it could be just you not finding a good weapon/playstyle, or just having a bad matchup, again it’s not a game for everyone

I just find it terribly slow and most of the time I'm dying without feeling I can do anything about it, besides grinding for 100 hours to get some armor that gives me an slightest but not relevant chance of survival. I just find it extremely tedious at this point. I know I'm probably not playing right. It's a shame because I like the concept, the aesthetics and pretty much everything about it except actually playing it.

If you can't solo until late G3 you deserved to be kicked.

id rather have a dark souls anime, thank you

slow gameplay is a given since a “good hunt” can last up to 15 minutes depending on the player
it usually takes several hunts before you can fully understand a monster’s moveset, but most monsters have a long and predictable buildup for moves that you can easily punish. some monsters just have really shitty hitzones (lunastra) or like to combo moves over and over (black diablos) or can just be frustrating to fight (kushala daora). if you’re struggling to learn, try a different weapon, since each one can drastically change the dynamic of a fight (or just be a shitter and go ezmode with bowguns)

Like how? In the past when everything wasn't fucked? Sure that sounds interesting.

why?

could be a bunch of stuff really, maybe have one story per episode, maybe even make it like that netflix show where each episode was made by someone else

Actually that doesn't sound as terrible. I thought you meant standard fantasy adventure anime

But yeah like only an episode featured about one person and their journey could be decent.

Almost mute fantasy version of blame would be pretty cool too.
