I like RPGs. Final Fantasy, Witcher 3, Fallout 3 and 4, Skyrim, Morrowind, Oblivion, etc.

Will I enjoy Monster Hunter: World? Is it good? Does it have a good story? Or is it (too) fetch-questy?

I’m looking at this one because it’s available with Spanish audio and text whereas other Monster World games only have Spanish text, if that. So the others aren’t an option, but feel free to compare this one to the others.

    Fantastic game, put way too many hours into that one. There’s a bit of artificial difficulty at the end, and you may want to mod the drops so you won’t have to grind as bad for builds, but it’s one of my all time favorite and I play the same stuff as you.

    I only remember a few fetch quests, but it’s not heavy into the RP element as much as the others. It’s mostly about fighting monsters, kind of a dark souls like game that’s fun with other people. The story was pretty typical JRPG.

      I feel the base game is usually fine but the DLCs crank up the grinding requirement to 11 with unreasonably difficult enemies.

      Damn, you’re making the case for why it might be worth trying. I had decided against it after others’ comments but now…

      If it wasn’t this, what else would you recommend? I’ve seen Persona 5 mentioned a few times here and there. (No Spanish audio but I think it has subtitles.) Have you played that?

        If you like anime you will like Persona 5. It is all around a good game and fits the requirements you have mentioned. My only complaint was that it was too long but there are worse flaws for sure.

          I’ll add this one to my strongly consider list, too, then. It’s similar to DE in that the Spanish would only be the subtitles (and the menus, etc, I assume).

          Which P5 did you play? Royals?
