Monster Hunter Rise Demo out now on Steam
- Thread starter VHS
- Start date
I'll link my post in the OT

I've gotten it to run now, played the Gr. Izu quest. Had to mess around with the inputs a bit, but it's playing nicely now with a Switch Pro Con.
The demo doesn't seem to like my monitor running overclocked at 72 hz, tho. It crashes at that framerate. Running below, either 36 fps or 60 fps vsynced via RTSS or solves that issue. Once in the game I can also unlock the framerate again and it doesn't crash, then.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak - Pre-release Discussion Thread
I think maybe they have a deal with Nintendo, and they did the survey to try to prove them that support for crossplay/saves is something that the player base wants but it didn’t go as planned I don't think that's likely, since Nintendo is okay with having cross-saves/play with other games...

Never played a monster hunter game before, is this a good one to jump in?

Possibly the best one to start with.
In my opinion one of the two best entries for newcomers, the other being MH World. I name both because there's some key differences between them, of which one might prefer some over the others, making either Rise or World a better first time experience.
Otherwise the series has never been as beginner friendly as with these two.

I honestly think World is a better starting point. Rise is absolutely a great game though.

Same boat here. I've never really played one at all myself.

Chunbun. Then. Now. Forever.
even a very lowly gtx 1660 can hit 170+fps with everything turned up at 1080p. The depth of field looks nice.

Here's hoping the modding community develops a save transfer app like they did with Monster Hunter World on PS4 and PC soon. Wanna play Sunbreak on the Steam Deck day 0.
I've been going back to the demo and doing the quests a few times at this point; and honestly? I'm seriously surprised by how little I like the PC version. I love, love, love the game on Switch, it's easily one of my absolute favourites on the system. So far my second favourite Monster Hunter ever, even. Only behind MHP3rd on the PSP.
But as shocked as I am to even think or say/write this, I think I actually prefer MH World to Rise on PC, even if I couldn't imagine myself playing the former over the latter ever if both were on Switch for instance. It's so weird.
It really comes down to PC -> World, Switch -> Rise for me. They simply lend themselves very well to the respective platform, but don't/wouldn't work for me the other way around.
But hey, at least I'm going to save the money I planned to spend on Rise PC this way. More power and cash to Elden Ring instead!

Plays worse? I don't agree with that, Rise plays great on Switch in my opinion. Sure, PC looks nicer and performs better, but Switch (obviously) still has the benefit of hybrid console gaming over it.
And given that I've got World on PC already, I don't mind having Rise on Switch instead for that portable Monster Hunter fix. To me Handheld Monster Hunter is still the most enjoyable Monster Hunter with all the grinding and such. And if I want to play a MH on PC, then I can always pick up World again as an alternative. Best of both worlds in my eyes!

Well, let's say the game is the most or second most welcoming to beginners the series has ever been yet Rise is still so dumb about the pace and order it hands out information in that the community's friendliest content producer felt the need to record a near three hour video to better ease newcomers into the Monster Hunter experience:

oh, neat! I am sure I will like this game. I was thinking of maybe getting it on Switch or PC.

Do you know why?
World was my first Monster Hunter game, and I knew I wanted to get Rise when it was first announced. The moment it was leaked for PC though, I then got stuck trying to decide and never bought it. I like the idea of portability on Switch, but also better performance for PC and always knowing games will be forwards compatible.

In a way simply playing the demo is less intimidating than starting the real thing if you want to try it out for yourself right now. The full game overwhelms you with tutorial boxes at the start. With the demo, pick a weapon, watch a 10-20 minutes guide about it on YouTube, then go at your own time. Still takes some investment, but in a more managable chunk.
