It’s Still Better With Friends
As has been the case with every Monster Hunter game ever, Monster Hunter: World can be fun on its own, but it’s still best when you’re playing it with a group of friends. Even if no one on your friends list is playing it, the game does offer online matchmaking so you can still group up with other players over the internet to go on a hunt.
You don’t necessarily need voice chat to complete a hunt either; pre-selected chat messages are usually enough to get your team coordinated for a big fight. Unless, of course, you’re going up against the Nergigante elder dragon in the beta. Then you might need some voice communication to beat the quest within the time limit.
Still, Monster Hunter: World is going to be a fairly grindy game, especially once you start trying to put your equipment sets together. Given how long the hunts can take, it’s best to bring a buddy or three along with you for the ride.
