It really is not a game for beginners and you can be overwhelmed easily when you start out.
But once you figured out how it works and what everything is for. The game becomes amazing.@azure-infinity I'm a long time monster hunter fan. So i picked up the game the day it came out.
I'm currently doing a Monster hunter weapons series about each weapon, just some information about each of them and their strengths/weaknesses. You can read about them here.
If you ever do pick up the game I'd like to suggest Adopt A Hunter. The Monster hunter community created adopt a hunter, Where they match up a new player with a veteran player. So the veteran player can take the new player on a hunt and show them the ropes and teach them about the game.
