Personally as a first timer like myself, i kinda dislike the beta demo too, due to how inconvenience the combat system was. However, after getting the game and spent sometime with it, i started to understand how everything suppose to works.

One of my doubts is the sheathing and unsheathing mechanism in MHW or its series, are very tactical in some sense, where you need to learn when to retreat to do other stuff cause you basically can't do anything else if you are wielding your weapon (besides SnS). Once you get used to this, next thing is, the combat is a little more approach, wait, observe and strike, observe, sling/lay trap/etc, strike again style, rather than approach and hack and slash till the end. Once you mastered the above, you will start to enjoy it. Think of yourself as a hunter, and that is what a hunter do.

MHW also got a lot more depth in the character customization, weapon selection and loadout. Every encounters are a boss fight (mostly). Seriously, the mission lists are massive, the grinding are often rewarding, not because you killed a monster based on what you wear, but how you approach it and what tactic you used against it (mainly).

I also wish to mention on the wonderful soundtrack, it melt in you head.

One thing stand up quite impressive is every single weapon (14 of them) played out very differently. Is like playing a different game altogether when you are utilizing a different weapons.

I am still learning and taking my own sweet time to try to understand all the tiny bit of this and that, you always learn something new everyday. I havent even tried coop and i bet once i learn much, coop will be lot of fun.
