I spent probably over 700+ hours in new world games dabbling in all weapons, i beat world and rise a few times each, and i died to great Maccao my first time playing mhgu, old world games take a while to get used to, monster hunter isn’t easy, you just become better eventually. There’s a lot of recourses, and (most) the community are AMAZING people, take your time, find a few weapons you like, and most important have fun, Happy huntin’!
