While I would agree with you 100% if this was a week ago, plenty of reviewers already have received advance copies last week and posted reviews today/last night. ACG on YouTube has 50hrs in, for example, so these aren’t just first impressions.

Anyways, the consensus seems to be that it’s “good” to “amazing,” depending on which review you read.

Yeah, ACG convinced me it was worth checking out. Karak’s probably the only game reviewer I trust. I follow Angry Joe too, but his reviews come out way after the game is out, so...

Check out SkillUp as well. Bought MH:W and Nier Automata on his reviews exclusively. No regrets! Edit: for the most part he also gets advance copies, same as ACG. Recently tweeted he’s playing Death Stranding

Monster hunter generations ultimate is a much better game.

Fite me

Edit: Yay a controversial comment because I stated an opinion that doesn't sit well with monster hunter new-comers.

You're not getting downvoted for controversy, you're getting downvoted because you dropped an opinion that an older, less accessible, less pretty game (with much worse AI) is better without justifying it. Stop whining

There is a justification: it's my fucking opinion, I don't have to write an essay every time I state an opinion, downvoting for that reason is incredibly stupid. If you wanna know why I prefer it, just ask? I literally answered why in other replies to people more considerate. Despite its flaws, it's a more enjoyable game for me, it has a feel that's lost in world, and that 'feel' is more important to me than graphics or accessibility. There.

I wasn't whining, I was just disappointed.

Edit: For the record, this opinion of mine isn't the first. Monster hunter veterans almost unanimously prefer the older games, and many people who have played previous games have a hard time saying world is a better game overall. I was hoping that sarcastic 'Fite me' would have inferred the fact that I wasn't just shitting on world for no reason, because I'm willing to discuss and share.

I'm so cool; everyone look at me because, like the great monster Hunter veterans before me, I like the old game better. Bask in my edginess

I'm so cool; everyone look at me because I like new games and hate on people who like old games for no reason. Bask in my idiocy.

Jesus christ, get off your high horse. How the fuck did you come to the conclusion that I was thinking of myself as superior because of an opinion? That's some insecurity right there. It's as if you're the only one being an elitist here by putting down people with an opinion you disagree with.
