After seeing the trailer for monster Hunter stories 2 and being blown away by how good it looked
So with a bit of free time up my sleeve I downloaded the IOS version of the first Monster Hunter stories.
Im only a few hours in but here are my first impressions
1. it's nice having voice acting and the ability to choose the gender of the player character.
2. Not having auto save is incredibly annoying and having to run back to town to save after doing anything is a frustration that probably shouldn't exist in this game since it's not that old
3. the large open environments look good on a phone screen
4. The gameplay feels very similar to the Yakuza bug battle mini game. I wonder if it was inspired by it. Seems fairly simple but there should be a good amount of depth later in the game
5. I'm still stuck in tutorials so hopefully that finishes soon.
I made this a spoiler thread but don't particularly want to be spoiled on plot so I think a good general rule is if people could only post spoilers up to or before what I'm up to.
I will try and regularly update this thread and hopefully make it to the end
