This modified version of the RE engine is designed specifically for the Switch. Capcom also asked Nintendo to add 1 more gb of RAM to the Switch specifically for this engine, and Nintendo listened. My point being, this is peak performance possible, and you won't find it in most 3rd party games.
Lmao, we have Monster Hunter fanboys on Digital Foundry's video all singing 'graphics and resolution doesn't as long as the game is fun' and then we have this comment. We especially see this when the game is heavily compared to MH: World. At the end of the day, who gives a shit?
@@amedoro_the_owl The PS2 wasn't even the best graphical console of the generation... however it had some amazing games and some stunning rendered scenes by developers who squeezed EVERY LAST BIT they could out of what was little more than a ps1 with more ram and a slightly faster clock. dreamcast was by far a better system (hardware wise, better controller offset analog FTW, came with modem... the FIRST ONLINE CONSOLE, was essentially an acrade board (naomi) for home use ) but sony had the developers on side.... and the pirating issue with dreamcast kinda killed any future.... until the dreamcast 2 became the xbox that is. I had both loved both for what they were. ps2 for JRPGs and DC for everything else. however anyone who thinks rise looks like a PS2 title needs their eyes or head checked. yeah it may not be running at full 1080/60 but the game looks AMAZING, and you don't study every frame when playing the game... and that's the point. for what is a system SMALLER than a PS1 LCD screen add on... it runs rise comparable to the world experience on a normal PS4. (i had a ps4 for world, until PC release then.. you know master race and all that :P), I get less frame drops with rise and hardly ANY loading times... compared to PS4 world.
I love the graphics of rise the most because it lies between the funkiness and cuteness of the old Monster Hunter games, while still being realistic like World
The RE engine is black magic level of tech, it's amazing what it can do on a switch One can only imagine what it will do in the future with more powerful hardware
I started with that one! Though I must say, it's easier to play on switch ^^ btw if your 3ds is hacked you could play Gen and 4U with a controller through your computer, that works surprisingly well! I did that before mh Gen on switch appeared, then world and rise came..
@@PinePizza yeah, you can also play mhgu from switch on 3ds if you hacked it. You can download the japanese version of the game and just apply an english patch. It's also cross play between 3ds and switch (on 3ds is called mhxx while on switch mhgu but it's truly the same game).
@@vitodarelltjoa6781 sthetix has some great guides on his channel and 3d.hacks.guide offered a great guide when I hacked my system years ago, though I have no idea if that still works or is up to date. There were many methods, some required flashcards, some required other games to be owned and such, not sure how it's done today. Whatever you do, get a SD card for all your downloads as the ds can't save much, be patient while researching and hacking and keep in mind that things like freeshop don't work anymore, virtual copies of games (let's assum legally owned) need to be installed manually and can't be downloaded while using the 3ds itself. So what you should be looking for is the most recent guide on how to install custom firmware (cfw) (that's what this "hack" is called). cfw offers many unofficial apps to run, you can use custom designs on the home screen, use physical or digital copies of region locked games, apply custom patches such as translation to games and you can emulate DS, GBA and GBC games to, I think SNES games and such work too. Keep in mind that this could get you banned from online play, never happened for me but it might happen to you. But I think even that could be reverted and I'm not sure if ban waves are still happening since the Nintendo switch is the flagship console rn and the 3ds' life span is at its end. Good luck with everything!
Woof watching all 3 running at reduced speed hurt my eyes. But you could definitely tell GU was frame by frame running, and rise was harder to see still looked almost as smooth as world. Love it.
Rise maps are bigger than world. Lots of exploration with fast traveling .They have the base for a real open world mh. Also rise barely have load times which I fucking love.
I know right, I still find myself hesitant to switch zones often, until I realize that, wait, there are basically no loadtimes! Coming off of World this feels heavenly!
I mean they are bigger but just like BOTW with less objects, vegetation density and in general with less details, for me is like a downgrade compared the level of details compared to MHW. I hope they can fix that in the PC port
@@alanalb1449 Its less detailed for obvious reasons, yet the maps are more immersive because of the explore and reward system and power ups. You can climb and jump to the highest mountain or rock in the map, in fact it’s encouraged. Less palm trees and clutter yes, but way more to do and less getting lost.
As long as I can tell what's going on, which pixels I have to hit and the MH combat is still intact then consider me content Anything else, good graphics are just a nice looking cherry on top
@ true dude, let's shit on this youngin's by saying that were fortunate to be born earlier than them and got to experience old MH titles, but they only disadvantage we have is that they'll get to play MH30 and we'll be dead by then.
As much as I like the lighting of Rise, the lack of black kinda annoyed me. Since the black equivalent is dark blue/purple as you said, when making my palico I wanted the fur to be black but to me it always looked like a really dark blue. I like how it is used for lighting, but let me make my palico's fur black, please.
Yeah, the color grading can be really annoying. On PC I turned off the option that caused the world to have that washed out look and the game was significantly better for it.
I haven’t had this much fun in a MH game since MH Tri. Yes MH Rise doesn’t look as good as MH world but It still looks amazing in it’s own right. Also I play at home on my big 75 inch OLED and also get to bring my switch to my office and play during my breaks. What else could you ask for? Simply amazing.
@@lastigesoma6126 honestly not sure what Capcom did but it looks great on the big screen. Only thing I did was adjust the color to vibrant and put on Game mode on my TV it runs and looks great. Unlike how other switch games tend to look blurry on the TV like The Witcher 3 or even Zelda BoTW
I *LOVE* How MH Rise is in the middle of the two games MHGU and MHW. It's like it has the best of both worlds along with a Mount system that also serves as a Battle Partner! Also I hope they release extra content where you can use the Prowler System therefore allowing you to be able to play as a Palico *AND* Palamute! And Now... I want my Toukiden 2 and Freedom Wars ported to the Nintendo Switch please. Thank You.
I love playing Rise and I think this Video Shows just how good it does inspite of Running on a Handheld. I'd disagree that it feels generally closer to world in terms of looks, but lean more towards it does a spectacular Job of taking Features from both sides to deliver a stunning experience
As a long-time series fan, I really appreciate what they've done with the World to Rise transition. The possibilities of the title was greatly expanded with World, and Rise takes a lot of the modern aspects of what made World so great and merged them with the traditional feel of the series. While visually it is a downgrade compared to World, they've managed to preserve the key aspects that make the game still enjoyable and removed unnecessary distractions. I also just missed the ability to play on the go after spending so many years with MH on PSP and 3DS.
I’m actually thinking of getting a switch so I can play mhgu. It has the most monsters, and it’s reminiscent of the oldstyle monster hunter. Thanks for this review.
MH World player here with over 1000+ hours. Played World mostly on PC on maximum settings. I can say that Rise did a phenomenal job on the Switch. It just feels at home to me like I felt when I played World. Can't wait to see what Capcom does once this gets ported to the PC.
I do hope they notch the difficulty up a bit with the updates thogih.. So far every fight took me 10 minutes or so, sometimes even less D: a bit worried
@@judehaylesa lol don't lie, no way 3 minutes is enough. I literally tried that to prove it before when play mhw. And i feel dizzy af. I used to say the same thing like you before i build my own pc because i play at 30fps all the time and feel that it's smooth, and now i really thought that what people used to say about it's not smooth is actually correct. And it's should be the opposite about eyesight. since people that feel 30fps is not smooth and can tell the difference on higher frame rates are actually got better perceiving motion lol
maybe rise looks great because the texture looks real, and smooth even though its on switch, but i like the color grading on GU more than Rise, GU feels so intense with higher contrast in color than rise, if we look at Mizu shade (i dunno what its called, the shadow gradient thing on its face) look more bold... and i like it
Been playing through rise currently, it's so good I went back to world on ps4 and it's hard to believe how good rise looks on the switch it has me begging for rise on pc or Sony or maybe a world 2
The things about rise is that every weapon that I have played with so far (SwagAxe, Charge Blade, Dual Blades) they are INCREDIBLY smooth and it's even better than in world. They really hit a nice balance of fast paced gameplay and good performance for 30fps!
Judging from your display photo and how you called Swaxe - Swagaxe, I’m suggesting maybe you could consider dropping the weapon and play something else, something clowny, idk, maybe Hammer? Cause we real Swaxe bad bois don’t welcome you, sorry dude.
@@fckyall2113 or how about you swing your axe somewhere else 🤷🏾♂️ I don't hunt for validation and I been using that weapon for over 8 years and will continue to do so whether SA mains wanna accept me or not
@@7thsin852 you sound exactly like the kind of guy who would abandon his own friends if they got into trouble and switches to new friends real quick and pretend like you don’t know your old homies, are you that kind of guy? Anyway jokes on you OP didn’t even bother to reply you L M A O
idk if its just me but i really love the way world looks, and think the realism is so much better than anything that came before. I can now understand things like Brachys slime (coming from my first game which is 3U) and think zinogre looks better than ever in world than in rise. Maybe I'm just the "Western audience" the new games are trying to appease but I can definitely say I never want them to go back to the old games. mobility is king and I honestly have more trouble fighting monsters in the new world, the only thing hard about the old world was the damn timer on every quest
nah it's nothing to do with Western audience. They were going for a generation 1 to generation 2 aesthetic. If you look at footage of the OG Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter Dos, Freedom Unite etc, you'll notice it has desaturated colors as well. Still, it's a little bit more cartoony than World, but it's obvious to me where World took inspiration from. The colorful stuff only started from Portable 3rd and 3 Ultimate. And then got cranked up to 11 with Generations Ultimate.
I think Rise works as a clear midpoint/blend between GenU and World, but World is very obviously much better looking. It'll be a bit of a tough sell to get people who started Monster Hunter with World (especially World on PC) to go to Rise, but I hope they make the jump. Gameplay is King and art direction just behind it!
Considering rise uses the the same gameplay as world and has most of the same weapon moves sets its actually gonna be very easy for mhw players to swap over It'll be the graphic whores who be upset the most because the game won't be 4k 60 fps.
@@cozzy4447 I think it depends on what hooked them. You can argue it should be the monsters, combat, and advancement loop, and I might agree. But a lot of people fell on love with World because of the *world*- things that might seem superficial to vets like pushing through the vines in Ancient Forest, the sense that Corla Highlands had so much variety in flora+fauna, etc. If that's your idea of MH, then it's missing here
@@kylemoore2467 that’s a valid point, but for me and many others who bought world after playing the original format of MH, this feels like a true next step if that makes sense
@@GGIGamingINC Absolutely- I'm in that camp as well (started with Tri). But a few of my friends started just recently with World (and some on PS5, so playing at 60fps), so I'm having to make the case that hey, this actually isn't a downgrade at all even though it *looks* like one- it's been slow going lol
As someone who started MH with World, all Ima say is that I am incredibly happy with Rise's direction, even with the slight graphic downgrade World's graphics were great, but as a newcomer to MH, it def wasnt the star for me, the gameplay was, and seeing Rise's gameplay being just straight up better than World, at least in my opinion, puts Rise in a higher pedestal for me gameplay wise, and thats what matters to me the most
world was my first game and I played a little bit of GU (like. one hunt maybe), and I remember seeing the trailers and the demo for rise and being disappointed bc I loved the environments of world so much. Now after playing rise for a week I'm addicted and honestly I don't know how I can go back to world. world has higher quality graphics sure but the gameplay in rise feels better in every way. the traversal and the mobility in fights the wirebugs add is perfect. i play greatsword and I can't imagine going back to how slow and stationary it was to play in world bc of how much fun I'm having flying across the map with it in rise
As a great sword user as well I definitely agree. Rage slash is also really nice I prefer it over true charge slash for every monster except the final boss. Power Sheathe and Adamant Charged Slash are also incredible.
3ds generation player here. Mobility is not a problem for me as I adapted to generations, If you heal or do something at the wrong time, it means death .
@@marxmanw3877 I've since played 4U and progressed further in GU and even a little bit of 3U and I adjusted fine (albeit as a dual blades main now) but I do still love going back to rise every title update and zooming around everywhere
i love the style of generatoions because when you play a remake of an old game it could either be fully remade and look like rise or world. or it could be similar to the original wich i acctually prefer because it gives you the nostalgia even if you never played the original
Monster Hunter GU isn't the HD version of MH G, it's the HD versiion of MHGU, the game was released on 3DS in Japan, but by the time it'd arrive on west the Switch was released already so the decision has been taken to release only on the latest Nintendo Console, while Japan has the title available on Switch and 3DS.
That's pretty good actually. I'm curious though, on platforms other than switch, will people switch from World? It may end up looking like a downgrade due to the simplistic graphics. Hopefully the gameplay expands on the formula and makes up for that
@@TheLastZonai rise is like a downgrade in terms of vegetation and verticality when compared to World. Although, I'll always prefer stable fps. Here's where Rise wins
@@rubenestradavalencia3306Rise has less verticality? Did you... Did you play the demo? Or even watch gameplay? Not trying to be a dick, but don't tell people stuff that can turn them off of the game that is just very clearly not true.
The only thing I don’t like about Rise, specially in the maps is the lack of climatological cycles, there’s a lot of potential for the maps, but DAMN the game looks and plays so good
"Meanwhile, Generations Ultimate looks very harsh in comparison" *Sighs in 'mh3u had beautiful, colorful lightmapping that fixed this and so did 4U via vertex coloring and it's an enigma why they didn't bring it back for GU'*
Comparing mhr to mhw you forgot to add the character and it's customization. To me this is the best customization for characters a monster hunter game has ever had. It still has a bit of world's ideas implimented into it but you can actually make a character look clean and crisp and not like a lumpy potato :D I mean this can kind of count as 'graphics' but idk
We've already seen the comparison videos and World has the better character creator (there's a TON of options that are bizarrely absent despite being super easy inclusions). More options, better graphical fidelity, and after one of the earlier updates the character looks like what you created once in-game.
you can tell ho as w much effort they put into optimization just by eyes. hope PC port can squeeze all RE engine performance on it. and with save file transfer will be perfect.
I assume the PC port of Rise will look more similar to World but have better optimization for Low End PC considering it was already downgraded for the switch.
They really really need to try and bring back water battles and water exploration like monster hunter tri. The water battles were unique and fun and brought a nice twist in how to battle actual water monsters like the lagiacrus, gobul, and royal ludroth. Plus swimming was just awesome to be able to do in a monster hunter game. Or they could on a occasion make a special battle water battle available to be able to fight the water elder dragon ceadeus. Those monsters favored being in water more.
The more i think about underwater the less i want it to be combat. I'm all for underwater segments for exploration, mining as a risk-reward, or catching fish. I want underwater to be the monsters domain where you want to get the monster out of the water asap to gain advantage.
Giving too much credit to the graphics on Rise. I'd say it's right in the middle. IMO, it does not look more like one or the other. Actually, we've seen graphics like this before... Dragon's Dogma. I think standards and expectation have been lowered way too much with all the mobile phone ports.
I once bought Generations but never really played it because my friends only played world and i wanted to play with them, had no time to play two games side by side. Now i play rise and it seems like a "lite" version of world. its good, dont take me wrong. My question is: is it worth it to go back to Generations after World and Rise?
I would say it is. Generations has the largest roster of monsters to date, the hunting arts and style makes different weapons much more fun if you never liked them before. A few things to note is that in Generations, you need to take a bit of time from your quests to collect essential items like honey, ivy, spider web and ores since the farm is kinda slow and gives you few materials at a time. It also won’t have the qol stuff that modern Mh games have like collecting items in one button press or not being able to move when using items like potions. It’s definitely worth getting if it goes on sale
I bought MHG for the New N3DS because I wanted to play it with friends, it was going to be my first MH with which I would start. Too bad my internet broadband wasn't very decent and I couldn't play much with them. The experience of playing multiplayer was not very good because of the game controls that were also very uncomfortable and also that I had to learn many things at the same time to be on the same level with my friends. The feeling was a bit frustrating, so I dropped it and never came back. A week ago I bought MHR and it struck me the first moment I played it, perhaps the best switch game graphically speaking. Although the game has a lot of text to read to learn how to play, everything has been very fast to understand and you go to action at the first moment. Although the game controls were somewhat problematic to use, after a few hours you get used to it. The game is much more dynamic than the experience I had with MRG, a lot. I've been playing for almost 50 hours and it was the best purchase I've ever made, I don't regret anything. The key that helped me decide to buy it was clearly that I have a cousin who would play with me. Now we are 3 friends who usually play often and maybe the group will grow in the future. I think this MH is the ideal game to start in the franchise by far and I would not return to any other, because this game feels much more dynamic in gameplay and mechanics than any other.
It is 100% worth it to go back to Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate it is the best way to experience classic Monster Hunter playstyle of content from the older monster hunter games. Now if only they ported Generations Ultimate to PC as well and make it cross platform.
@@patyos2 that would be great. That was one of the best thing of world. The online play was so easy, you drop in a ongoing quest, easly find player etc. In the older games the lobby had only space for 4 people, everyone was fightig which quest and if they started, you could not join. It was a pain. Best way was to play with friends, local. Gosh i miss the psp time. Rise is great in this eay too and i prefere to have village quest and then online quests. But i dobt know, rise did just not click with me. Dont get me wrong, its great. But i prefere world. Rise has less Monsters but now we again have leviathan, monkey like monsters, spider etc. I missed those in world and hope the next MH on PC wilö have them again.
Look, I'm loving rise, but some people in the comment section are kinda delusional lol. MHWorld is so many light-years ahead of anything the Switch/MHRise will ever be capable of lol. I heavily miss 100+ fps, max grahpics, and 1440p resolution on my PC. Still having a good time though.
@@G82Jesse You just need a couple of RTX 3090 running together You can get them for the value price of only two easy payments of $2,000 on Ebay In all seriousness I was able to get a stable 60 FPS with a 1080
I like worlds look for the most realistic looking game and best frame rate but generations and rise have like a Nintendo vibe to them that i really love
Watching this video in 2024 as I decide on which version to get as each are on sale for 9.99 on eshop. Monster Hunter Now is leading me tot trying them (and it's jarring to see the exact monster models ripped direct to Now from these).
Any of those 3 are good choices, but imo some are better than others In terms of the upcoming monster hunter wilds, it seems most similar to World, so I would recommend that most, but rise is a really nice second, and GU is just as good but for different reasons
@@chokirooo I was just pondering it because a rise and a switch, while bwib a worthwhile investment, would cost me damn-near all my savings. def not getting world tho fuc that
If only capcom just use the MT framework engine from MHWorld it would be a fantastic addition to Nintendo Switch emulation for those who doesn't want to double dip on MHRise PC next year like being a fans this is fucking hurt seeing people already played it while others have to wait for or be damn for it on Switch. RE engine is the most demanding game engine ever capcom ever made LOL
Ehh, Rise is definitely an accomplishment and the RE Engine is great but it is not in the same ballpark as world. While generations' areas look barren and empty compared to Rise, Rise's areas are often strangely flat and empty compared to world. It doesn't look natural and alive at all, it appears to be enormous empty rooms. The severe drop in scene geometry, lighting, shadows, and interactive elements all contribute to this. During that whole run I noticed very few things in the Rise footage cast much of a shadow (Mizutsune fo rexample), and ambient occlusion is super sparse.
Yeah it's some really weird rendering solution a lot of Switch games use for transparency effects. I assume it's really cheap on the GPU load which is why they used it.
World looks the best in terms of realistic graphics, but rise just stands far above world imo. It's 100% nostalgia for me, but the maps and graphics in Rise speak to simpler times, and simpler game design.
HoW fAr AhEaD... what a joke. Graphics do not a game make. MHGU has hunter arts/styles, a seemingly endless amount of unique armors and weapons, the largest pool of monsters to date on any monster hunter title, the largest amount of quests available, ability to play as a palico, Decoration and charm system that is far more rewarding, the list goes on. but oh no.... the graphics. MHGU is a beautiful representation of what monster hunter should strive to be. anyone else that thinks differently is new to the series with world being their first Monster hunter entry. Get it together with your nonsense one sided review.
Mhgu: good performance and looks Mh rise: good graphical fidelity, but unnecessarily detailed textures that leech performance and make it barely reach 30fps, and usually run at 20-25 MHW:I :amazing graphics. On pc so unlimited performance, but very badly optimized causing unnecessary performance loss on weaker pc (haha I can run at max graphics at 60fps and 1440p) Edit: also rises image looks very muddy becouse there's almost no variation of color in most maps, and the lighting feels like a cold gray, instead of the usually warm sunlight from world. GU also manages to have a vibrant world due to pre-rendered lighting and more colorful teclxtures. In general world and GU look more pleasing than rise, since rise sits kinda in the uncanny Valley. The performance isn't good enough to make an actual believable game-world with good lighting, so it ends up lookin very muddy. Like playing piano, while permanently holding down the sustain pedal and never lifting it. Together with rises arcady and floaty combat, which looks like youre swinging a cardboard sword around and its missing endgame, it's a 6/10. World (base) is a 8/10 with IB bringing it up to a solid 12/10. G is for me 7/10 and GU is also perfectly 10/10. It'll be interesting to see what rise ultimate and it's PC Version will bring to the table. It may reach way above 10 or it will barely reach 9/10. Reason being that as a chargblade and IG main, seeing my favorite weapons get massacred like that, is just sad.
Rise looks considerably worse when you compare it to World running on a Series X. I can't even begin to tell you how much smoother and more responsive it is to play on Series X. Rise does look more film-grainy or pixelated though while World looks much softer and blended. Rise looks good considering what hardware it's running on though but it's far away from the series x experience.
MH World does not ever render at a full 4K on the PS4 Pro. The highest the resolution will ever go on PS4 Pro is 3200x1800 (1800p) specifically on resolution mode, and that's with checkerboard rendering. The PS4 Pro is nowhere near powerful enough to run World at native 4K, let alone native 1800p.
Generations comes out on top with hard but fair gameplay, fast pased and fun combat and that excellent music. World on the other hand is a lot better with graphics, however the music is kinda meh, also monsters (for the most part) use physical attacks for most of their fights, what doesn't help that the combat is much slower. Rise on the other hand... It has some good themes but it's pretty much the easiest monster hunter game of all time. Even though the fast pased combat is back it doesn't help the fact that rise is a mindless button masher with no tactics whatsoever. Even if world had slower combat you still needed a tactic on each monster and in here, even rajang is a joke compared to the previous games because you can go gun's blazing on him (or blades blazing for that matter) Yes I am aware that with dual blades you can go full berserk mode in world, but you still needed to remember how the monster fights to take as less damage as possible
Switch have like a 2014 arm cpu and the gpu of iphone 8 is more stronger than switch Damn switch really have some black magic optimisation to run such awesome game
Meanwhile, Sony can't get 60 fps and ray-tracing simultaneously on a game (Miles Morales) built for their own significantly stronger, "top of the line" console.
@@azmirjohari609 I don’t like pc either, kinda for the same reason most people don’t like Harley’s or Harley riders. They’re obnoxious, annoying and overall just trash.
It's a great game, but we aren't gonna sit here and pretend "it holds it's own" against MH World. Graphically it just doesn't. That said, it's made improvements that are leaps and bounds better than MHGU in everything but resolution. It's a great game that plays well and looks good.
Yes, tiny maps with largely empty locations and dated visuals running at 30 fps with fewer interactive environmental features is somehow better "in every way" than World. You can like a game without uttering falsehoods, man.
@@RicochetForce No, what you are is the typical "PC Gamer" with an insane backlog of unfinished games because you don't care about playing. Btw,i played World on Pc for 1000 hours. I find Rise to be superior in many aspects.

Capcom nails what a lot of first party Nintendo games do: optimization and use of hardware.

Honestly
I owned a PS2 (granted I only had licensed games), and after rewatching footage, some late PS2 games look near identical to SOME early PS4.
Me who owned a ps2: *you fool the best about a game is:* good animation good gameplay then: *good game*
@@amedoro_the_owl The PS2 wasn't even the best graphical console of the generation...
however it had some amazing games and some stunning rendered scenes by developers who squeezed EVERY LAST BIT they could out of what was little more than a ps1 with more ram and a slightly faster clock.

I had both loved both for what they were. ps2 for JRPGs and DC for everything else.
however anyone who thinks rise looks like a PS2 title needs their eyes or head checked.
yeah it may not be running at full 1080/60 but the game looks AMAZING, and you don't study every frame when playing the game... and that's the point. for what is a system SMALLER than a PS1 LCD screen add on... it runs rise comparable to the world experience on a normal PS4.

I've played both World and Generations Ultimate and I strongly agree. It's a happy medium that I'm enjoying a lot!
Me too.

Monster Hunter Rise is suppose to come Steam PC in early 2022 if nothing goes wrong.

There are lots of better looking games graphically on Switch. Not hating either, just saying
Switch is a lot stronger than the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U. People really underestimate the Switch.
I like the bright colors and foliage in generations
As an artist imo there's a massive shift to artstyle from GenU/older games to World.
I agree, I would have loved the vibrant colors with the upgraded textures, but this still looks insane that it can run on the switch
@Da Fonse world wouldn't work on switch it wouldn't be able to handle it. Witcher 3 isnt even that good-looking graphically either.

@Da Fonse you obviously dont know what you are talking about
The fact that generations is a 3ds Game is amazing
I started with that one! Though I must say, it's easier to play on switch ^^ btw if your 3ds is hacked you could play Gen and 4U with a controller through your computer, that works surprisingly well! I did that before mh Gen on switch appeared, then world and rise came..
@@PinePizza yeah, you can also play mhgu from switch on 3ds if you hacked it. You can download the japanese version of the game and just apply an english patch. It's also cross play between 3ds and switch (on 3ds is called mhxx while on switch mhgu but it's truly the same game).
@@PinePizza where can I find more things about the 3ds hack??
@@vitodarelltjoa6781 sthetix has some great guides on his channel and 3d.hacks.guide offered a great guide when I hacked my system years ago, though I have no idea if that still works or is up to date. There were many methods, some required flashcards, some required other games to be owned and such, not sure how it's done today. Whatever you do, get a SD card for all your downloads as the ds can't save much, be patient while researching and hacking and keep in mind that things like freeshop don't work anymore, virtual copies of games (let's assum legally owned) need to be installed manually and can't be downloaded while using the 3ds itself.
So what you should be looking for is the most recent guide on how to install custom firmware (cfw) (that's what this "hack" is called). cfw offers many unofficial apps to run, you can use custom designs on the home screen, use physical or digital copies of region locked games, apply custom patches such as translation to games and you can emulate DS, GBA and GBC games to, I think SNES games and such work too.
Keep in mind that this could get you banned from online play, never happened for me but it might happen to you. But I think even that could be reverted and I'm not sure if ban waves are still happening since the Nintendo switch is the flagship console rn and the 3ds' life span is at its end.
Good luck with everything!
@@PinePizza thank you for the really comprehensive explanation. I'll look it up more my myself. :D
Woof watching all 3 running at reduced speed hurt my eyes. But you could definitely tell GU was frame by frame running, and rise was harder to see still looked almost as smooth as world. Love it.
No didn't really look as smooth as World but a nice effort from the team regardless :)
The one actually skipping frames at the end comparison was GU, not Rise.
Rise maps are bigger than world. Lots of exploration with fast traveling .They have the base for a real open world mh. Also rise barely have load times which I fucking love.
I know right, I still find myself hesitant to switch zones often, until I realize that, wait, there are basically no loadtimes! Coming off of World this feels heavenly!
I mean they are bigger but just like BOTW with less objects, vegetation density and in general with less details, for me is like a downgrade compared the level of details compared to MHW. I hope they can fix that in the PC port
@@alanalb1449 Its less detailed for obvious reasons, yet the maps are more immersive because of the explore and reward system and power ups. You can climb and jump to the highest mountain or rock in the map, in fact it’s encouraged. Less palm trees and clutter yes, but way more to do and less getting lost.
Are u drunk?
I have no idea how they accomplished the minimal load times. Fast travel is basically instant.
Generations easily has the most charming visuals of all of these. It hits different.
Gotta agree with you on that one
true nothing can top that out of the three games presented in the vid xD
Take off the nostalgia goggles
@@BoJangles42 muh gwapics doe
I agree. That’s the real video gamey/cartoony art style some of us look for.
It's cool to do a grahpics and performance showdown/showcase, but for a MH game, comparing mechanics and gameplay should be the number 1 focus.
Finally someone gets the true essence of MH. A true MH fan doesn't care of graphics
As long as I can tell what's going on, which pixels I have to hit and the MH combat is still intact then consider me content
Anything else, good graphics are just a nice looking cherry on top
That's true for basically every game.
@@XNorman51 that’s true-ish, as long as I can tell what I’m doing, and the frame rate doesn’t hinder my gameplay, I couldn’t care less.
@ true dude, let's shit on this youngin's by saying that were fortunate to be born earlier than them and got to experience old MH titles, but they only disadvantage we have is that they'll get to play MH30 and we'll be dead by then.
Just straight up feels like it is being played on a PS4 despite the fact I'm playing on a Switch Lite.
No lol
As much as I like the lighting of Rise, the lack of black kinda annoyed me. Since the black equivalent is dark blue/purple as you said, when making my palico I wanted the fur to be black but to me it always looked like a really dark blue. I like how it is used for lighting, but let me make my palico's fur black, please.
Yeah, the color grading can be really annoying. On PC I turned off the option that caused the world to have that washed out look and the game was significantly better for it.
I haven’t had this much fun in a MH game since MH Tri. Yes MH Rise doesn’t look as good as MH world but It still looks amazing in it’s own right. Also I play at home on my big 75 inch OLED and also get to bring my switch to my office and play during my breaks. What else could you ask for? Simply amazing.
does the game look blown up on 75 inch?
@@lastigesoma6126 nah it looks great on the Big screen.

Really nice presentation. Great work, John

I *LOVE* How MH Rise is in the middle of the two games MHGU and MHW. It's like it has the best of both worlds along with a Mount system that also serves as a Battle Partner! Also I hope they release extra content where you can use the Prowler System therefore allowing you to be able to play as a Palico *AND* Palamute!
And Now...
I want my Toukiden 2 and Freedom Wars ported to the Nintendo Switch please. Thank You.
I love playing Rise and I think this Video Shows just how good it does inspite of Running on a Handheld. I'd disagree that it feels generally closer to world in terms of looks, but lean more towards it does a spectacular Job of taking Features from both sides to deliver a stunning experience
That RE engine is something else I’m blown away by what this game is on the switch
Yeah it almost looks as good as MHW from 2018.
As a long-time series fan, I really appreciate what they've done with the World to Rise transition. The possibilities of the title was greatly expanded with World, and Rise takes a lot of the modern aspects of what made World so great and merged them with the traditional feel of the series. While visually it is a downgrade compared to World, they've managed to preserve the key aspects that make the game still enjoyable and removed unnecessary distractions. I also just missed the ability to play on the go after spending so many years with MH on PSP and 3DS.
I’m actually thinking of getting a switch so I can play mhgu. It has the most monsters, and it’s reminiscent of the oldstyle monster hunter. Thanks for this review.
Generation is still the best mh game
I only hope for cross saves, imagine playing on 60fps Ultra graphics on your pc and to “switch” over to play on the go without that much compromises
MH World player here with over 1000+ hours. Played World mostly on PC on maximum settings. I can say that Rise did a phenomenal job on the Switch. It just feels at home to me like I felt when I played World.
Can't wait to see what Capcom does once this gets ported to the PC.
Monster hunter rise is my fav mh game so far. Its just so addicting.
I agree after getting essentially every armour possible lol
I do hope they notch the difficulty up a bit with the updates thogih.. So far every fight took me 10 minutes or so, sometimes even less D: a bit worried
@@PinePizza I agree around 10 to 15 minutes for myself but that may be because I've grown accustomed to the gameplay

I used to say the same thing like you before i build my own pc because i play at 30fps all the time and feel that it's smooth, and now i really thought that what people used to say about it's not smooth is actually correct.
And it's should be the opposite about eyesight. since people that feel 30fps is not smooth and can tell the difference on higher frame rates are actually got better perceiving motion lol
I miss generation’s colors
maybe rise looks great because the texture looks real, and smooth even though its on switch, but i like the color grading on GU more than Rise, GU feels so intense with higher contrast in color than rise, if we look at Mizu shade (i dunno what its called, the shadow gradient thing on its face) look more bold... and i like it
Started to play World on PS5 and it's running gorgeous.
When Rise cames to PC, its gonna a total blast.

Honestly? Artistically and Style wise, Generations Ultimate was by far the best MH game ever made
idk if its just me but i really love the way world looks, and think the realism is so much better than anything that came before. I can now understand things like Brachys slime (coming from my first game which is 3U) and think zinogre looks better than ever in world than in rise. Maybe I'm just the "Western audience" the new games are trying to appease but I can definitely say I never want them to go back to the old games. mobility is king and I honestly have more trouble fighting monsters in the new world, the only thing hard about the old world was the damn timer on every quest
nah it's nothing to do with Western audience. They were going for a generation 1 to generation 2 aesthetic. If you look at footage of the OG Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter Dos, Freedom Unite etc, you'll notice it has desaturated colors as well. Still, it's a little bit more cartoony than World, but it's obvious to me where World took inspiration from.
The colorful stuff only started from Portable 3rd and 3 Ultimate. And then got cranked up to 11 with Generations Ultimate.
Rise just seems like the perfect Monster Hunter.
Game looks amazing, just wish they made the terrain a bit more cluttered and visually interesting in some maps. The last arena in Rise looks amazing.
Plus the levels in Rise are fully traversable which definitely adds to my being impressed
What Capcom has done with Rise is just remarkable!
hell no. monster hunterxspiderman collab wtf
I was really impressed with Rise, I didn’t like very much the early footage of the game but now that I have it I am amazed by the graphics.
Monster Hunter World is one of my top 3 favorite games owing, in no small part, to how beautiful the game is.
I've been trying a bunch of MH Games lately and so far 3 ultimate is my favorite
@Hatwox first mon hun is always the fav for the people for me its freedome unite
@@ma_na_gurab Generations was my 2nd game I properly played, still my favourite game due to the fact of the flexibility of playstyles.
I think Rise works as a clear midpoint/blend between GenU and World, but World is very obviously much better looking. It'll be a bit of a tough sell to get people who started Monster Hunter with World (especially World on PC) to go to Rise, but I hope they make the jump. Gameplay is King and art direction just behind it!
Considering rise uses the the same gameplay as world and has most of the same weapon moves sets its actually gonna be very easy for mhw players to swap over
It'll be the graphic whores who be upset the most because the game won't be 4k 60 fps.
@@cozzy4447 I think it depends on what hooked them. You can argue it should be the monsters, combat, and advancement loop, and I might agree. But a lot of people fell on love with World because of the *world*- things that might seem superficial to vets like pushing through the vines in Ancient Forest, the sense that Corla Highlands had so much variety in flora+fauna, etc. If that's your idea of MH, then it's missing here
@@kylemoore2467 that’s a valid point, but for me and many others who bought world after playing the original format of MH, this feels like a true next step if that makes sense
@@GGIGamingINC Absolutely- I'm in that camp as well (started with Tri). But a few of my friends started just recently with World (and some on PS5, so playing at 60fps), so I'm having to make the case that hey, this actually isn't a downgrade at all even though it *looks* like one- it's been slow going lol
As someone who started MH with World, all Ima say is that I am incredibly happy with Rise's direction, even with the slight graphic downgrade
World's graphics were great, but as a newcomer to MH, it def wasnt the star for me, the gameplay was, and seeing Rise's gameplay being just straight up better than World, at least in my opinion, puts Rise in a higher pedestal for me gameplay wise, and thats what matters to me the most
MHGU is just so nostalgic with the villages you can visit from previous titles! Rise was great too but I bought it on Xbox, not the switch.
world was my first game and I played a little bit of GU (like. one hunt maybe), and I remember seeing the trailers and the demo for rise and being disappointed bc I loved the environments of world so much. Now after playing rise for a week I'm addicted and honestly I don't know how I can go back to world. world has higher quality graphics sure but the gameplay in rise feels better in every way. the traversal and the mobility in fights the wirebugs add is perfect. i play greatsword and I can't imagine going back to how slow and stationary it was to play in world bc of how much fun I'm having flying across the map with it in rise
You fell for the Nintendo-style Monster Fighter nonsense. That's not Monster Hunter.
As a great sword user as well I definitely agree. Rage slash is also really nice I prefer it over true charge slash for every monster except the final boss. Power Sheathe and Adamant Charged Slash are also incredible.
3ds generation player here. Mobility is not a problem for me as I adapted to generations, If you heal or do something at the wrong time, it means death .
@@marxmanw3877 I've since played 4U and progressed further in GU and even a little bit of 3U and I adjusted fine (albeit as a dual blades main now) but I do still love going back to rise every title update and zooming around everywhere
Just bought the game today (rise), where can I find the monster that i just captured sleeping in the village like in the monster hunter world?
Sadly, that’s a feature the missing in rise☹️ couldn’t help but notice that also.
That’s only a feature exclusive to World
i love the style of generatoions because when you play a remake of an old game it could either be fully remade and look like rise or world. or it could be similar to the original wich i acctually prefer because it gives you the nostalgia even if you never played the original
And here’s me thinking if I should buy a switch for it or wait a year + for Rise PC release.
1 year... Too much. I have a 2000usd pc bought 3 months ago, and I bought the console MHR edition only for this Game. Buy it worth it.
If u will buy switch for 1 game only, I wouldn't recommend it. If you are a PC player, just wait for it.
Monster Hunter GU isn't the HD version of MH G, it's the HD versiion of MHGU, the game was released on 3DS in Japan, but by the time it'd arrive on west the Switch was released already so the decision has been taken to release only on the latest Nintendo Console, while Japan has the title available on Switch and 3DS.
You're thinking of MHXX
@@NoFairiesAllowed same game, different name G or X, GU or XX (G for generation)
That's pretty good actually. I'm curious though, on platforms other than switch, will people switch from World? It may end up looking like a downgrade due to the simplistic graphics. Hopefully the gameplay expands on the formula and makes up for that
"simplistic" ?

"Meanwhile, Generations Ultimate looks very harsh in comparison"
*Sighs in 'mh3u had beautiful, colorful lightmapping that fixed this and so did 4U via vertex coloring and it's an enigma why they didn't bring it back for GU'*
Comparing mhr to mhw you forgot to add the character and it's customization.
To me this is the best customization for characters a monster hunter game has ever had.
It still has a bit of world's ideas implimented into it but you can actually make a character look clean and crisp and not like a lumpy potato :D
I mean this can kind of count as 'graphics' but idk
We've already seen the comparison videos and World has the better character creator (there's a TON of options that are bizarrely absent despite being super easy inclusions). More options, better graphical fidelity, and after one of the earlier updates the character looks like what you created once in-game.
you can tell ho as w much effort they put into optimization just by eyes. hope PC port can squeeze all RE engine performance on it. and with save file transfer will be perfect.
I just hope the PC port for Rise next year will actually be optimized unlike World's PC port
Isn't rise a switch exclusive?
@@Nuhuhnwjs for a year only.
@@emti29 ohhhhh

No.. Vice versa..
They really really need to try and bring back water battles and water exploration like monster hunter tri. The water battles were unique and fun and brought a nice twist in how to battle actual water monsters like the lagiacrus, gobul, and royal ludroth. Plus swimming was just awesome to be able to do in a monster hunter game. Or they could on a occasion make a special battle water battle available to be able to fight the water elder dragon ceadeus. Those monsters favored being in water more.
The more i think about underwater the less i want it to be combat. I'm all for underwater segments for exploration, mining as a risk-reward, or catching fish.
I want underwater to be the monsters domain where you want to get the monster out of the water asap to gain advantage.
2:24 Did you do that on purpose?
Giving too much credit to the graphics on Rise. I'd say it's right in the middle. IMO, it does not look more like one or the other. Actually, we've seen graphics like this before... Dragon's Dogma. I think standards and expectation have been lowered way too much with all the mobile phone ports.
Or its style hits with alot of people me included just saying.
Excellent comparison
I once bought Generations but never really played it because my friends only played world and i wanted to play with them, had no time to play two games side by side.
Now i play rise and it seems like a "lite" version of world. its good, dont take me wrong.
My question is: is it worth it to go back to Generations after World and Rise?
I would say it is. Generations has the largest roster of monsters to date, the hunting arts and style makes different weapons much more fun if you never liked them before. A few things to note is that in Generations, you need to take a bit of time from your quests to collect essential items like honey, ivy, spider web and ores since the farm is kinda slow and gives you few materials at a time. It also won’t have the qol stuff that modern Mh games have like collecting items in one button press or not being able to move when using items like potions. It’s definitely worth getting if it goes on sale
I bought MHG for the New N3DS because I wanted to play it with friends, it was going to be my first MH with which I would start. Too bad my internet broadband wasn't very decent and I couldn't play much with them. The experience of playing multiplayer was not very good because of the game controls that were also very uncomfortable and also that I had to learn many things at the same time to be on the same level with my friends. The feeling was a bit frustrating, so I dropped it and never came back.
A week ago I bought MHR and it struck me the first moment I played it, perhaps the best switch game graphically speaking. Although the game has a lot of text to read to learn how to play, everything has been very fast to understand and you go to action at the first moment. Although the game controls were somewhat problematic to use, after a few hours you get used to it. The game is much more dynamic than the experience I had with MRG, a lot. I've been playing for almost 50 hours and it was the best purchase I've ever made, I don't regret anything. The key that helped me decide to buy it was clearly that I have a cousin who would play with me. Now we are 3 friends who usually play often and maybe the group will grow in the future. I think this MH is the ideal game to start in the franchise by far and I would not return to any other, because this game feels much more dynamic in gameplay and mechanics than any other.
It is 100% worth it to go back to Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate it is the best way to experience classic Monster Hunter playstyle of content from the older monster hunter games.
Now if only they ported Generations Ultimate to PC as well and make it cross platform.
@@patyos2 that would be great. That was one of the best thing of world. The online play was so easy, you drop in a ongoing quest, easly find player etc. In the older games the lobby had only space for 4 people, everyone was fightig which quest and if they started, you could not join. It was a pain.
Best way was to play with friends, local. Gosh i miss the psp time.
Rise is great in this eay too and i prefere to have village quest and then online quests. But i dobt know, rise did just not click with me.
Dont get me wrong, its great. But i prefere world. Rise has less Monsters but now we again have leviathan, monkey like monsters, spider etc. I missed those in world and hope the next MH on PC wilö have them again.
Play all the versions. Because Monster Hunter is one of the best experience in a life of a gamer.😄

Mhw is my favorite mh. visuals and deficulty and gameplay wise. Just my opinion
Watching this video in 2024 as I decide on which version to get as each are on sale for 9.99 on eshop. Monster Hunter Now is leading me tot trying them (and it's jarring to see the exact monster models ripped direct to Now from these).
Any of those 3 are good choices, but imo some are better than others
In terms of the upcoming monster hunter wilds, it seems most similar to World, so I would recommend that most, but rise is a really nice second, and GU is just as good but for different reasons

If only capcom just use the MT framework engine from MHWorld it would be a fantastic addition to Nintendo Switch emulation for those who doesn't want to double dip on MHRise PC next year like being a fans this is fucking hurt seeing people already played it while others have to wait for or be damn for it on Switch. RE engine is the most demanding game engine ever capcom ever made LOL
Ehh, Rise is definitely an accomplishment and the RE Engine is great but it is not in the same ballpark as world. While generations' areas look barren and empty compared to Rise, Rise's areas are often strangely flat and empty compared to world. It doesn't look natural and alive at all, it appears to be enormous empty rooms. The severe drop in scene geometry, lighting, shadows, and interactive elements all contribute to this. During that whole run I noticed very few things in the Rise footage cast much of a shadow (Mizutsune fo rexample), and ambient occlusion is super sparse.
Is it just me or is there artifacts in the skin for the shadows of the characters. It’s really bad. Specifically on the necks, legs and arms.
Yeah it's some really weird rendering solution a lot of Switch games use for transparency effects. I assume it's really cheap on the GPU load which is why they used it.
lol stop it. Rise doesn't look ANYTHING like World. Comparing the two is absurd.
You're talking about resolution when Proof of a Hero starts playing and it's a very odd mix 🤭
World looks the best in terms of realistic graphics, but rise just stands far above world imo.
It's 100% nostalgia for me, but the maps and graphics in Rise speak to simpler times, and simpler game design.
HoW fAr AhEaD... what a joke. Graphics do not a game make. MHGU has hunter arts/styles, a seemingly endless amount of unique armors and weapons, the largest pool of monsters to date on any monster hunter title, the largest amount of quests available, ability to play as a palico, Decoration and charm system that is far more rewarding, the list goes on. but oh no.... the graphics. MHGU is a beautiful representation of what monster hunter should strive to be. anyone else that thinks differently is new to the series with world being their first Monster hunter entry. Get it together with your nonsense one sided review.
What a horrible fanboy
The monsters in rise look really washed out compared to GU.
Man I miss GU so much
I really wish you could have made this video without so much late game spoilers. Next time is it possible to use early game footage only? Thanks
i'd say its a cross between world and 3 ultimate wii u graphics
Mhgu: good performance and looks
Mh rise: good graphical fidelity, but unnecessarily detailed textures that leech performance and make it barely reach 30fps, and usually run at 20-25
MHW:I :amazing graphics. On pc so unlimited performance, but very badly optimized causing unnecessary performance loss on weaker pc (haha I can run at max graphics at 60fps and 1440p)
Edit: also rises image looks very muddy becouse there's almost no variation of color in most maps, and the lighting feels like a cold gray, instead of the usually warm sunlight from world. GU also manages to have a vibrant world due to pre-rendered lighting and more colorful teclxtures. In general world and GU look more pleasing than rise, since rise sits kinda in the uncanny Valley. The performance isn't good enough to make an actual believable game-world with good lighting, so it ends up lookin very muddy. Like playing piano, while permanently holding down the sustain pedal and never lifting it. Together with rises arcady and floaty combat, which looks like youre swinging a cardboard sword around and its missing endgame, it's a 6/10. World (base) is a 8/10 with IB bringing it up to a solid 12/10. G is for me 7/10 and GU is also perfectly 10/10.
It'll be interesting to see what rise ultimate and it's PC Version will bring to the table. It may reach way above 10 or it will barely reach 9/10. Reason being that as a chargblade and IG main, seeing my favorite weapons get massacred like that, is just sad.
Rise looks considerably worse when you compare it to World running on a Series X. I can't even begin to tell you how much smoother and more responsive it is to play on Series X. Rise does look more film-grainy or pixelated though while World looks much softer and blended. Rise looks good considering what hardware it's running on though but it's far away from the series x experience.
Yeah no shit
Can't say you are wrong cuz you are not. But why Series X? Consoles get shit on by PC as well. Can't wait for the Rise PC port.
I think GenU has a better artstyle than Rise and World. Looking forward to Rise but I do not think it will replace GenU as the Switch's go to MH game.
Colors are very bland in Rise, it's my big criticism of it.
@@bustywaifus still better than world
GenU has the better artstyle, but Rise has the better gameplay imo
MH World does not ever render at a full 4K on the PS4 Pro. The highest the resolution will ever go on PS4 Pro is 3200x1800 (1800p) specifically on resolution mode, and that's with checkerboard rendering. The PS4 Pro is nowhere near powerful enough to run World at native 4K, let alone native 1800p.
Generations comes out on top with hard but fair gameplay, fast pased and fun combat and that excellent music.
World on the other hand is a lot better with graphics, however the music is kinda meh, also monsters (for the most part) use physical attacks for most of their fights, what doesn't help that the combat is much slower.
Rise on the other hand... It has some good themes but it's pretty much the easiest monster hunter game of all time. Even though the fast pased combat is back it doesn't help the fact that rise is a mindless button masher with no tactics whatsoever. Even if world had slower combat you still needed a tactic on each monster and in here, even rajang is a joke compared to the previous games because you can go gun's blazing on him (or blades blazing for that matter)
Yes I am aware that with dual blades you can go full berserk mode in world, but you still needed to remember how the monster fights to take as less damage as possible
I know why Generations Ultimate doesn't run at 60fps... that doesn't make the situation any less dumber.
no fatalis, no party
Switch have like a 2014 arm cpu and the gpu of iphone 8 is more stronger than switch
Damn switch really have some black magic optimisation to run such awesome game
Meanwhile, Sony can't get 60 fps and ray-tracing simultaneously on a game (Miles Morales) built for their own significantly stronger, "top of the line" console.
@@Vallarok117 honestly yeah, Nintendo is a mix of “ohmygod how did you do this” and then there’s times where you’re like “why nintendo, why.”
@@Hraezlyrrrr “why nintendo, why.”

@@SomeRandomGuy-us1yb oh yeah, don't even get me started with gamrfreak.
@@Hraezlyrrrr Yeah. It's a company that generally makes quality stuff, but is still bad itself.
I don’t like the switch, so sadly I’m going to have to pass on this one, World was my first Mh and I’d love to get more but I can’t stand the switch.
ok.
Its on pc next year. Unless you a console peasant then better luck next time
@@azmirjohari609 I don’t like pc either, kinda for the same reason most people don’t like Harley’s or Harley riders. They’re obnoxious, annoying and overall just trash.
That’s too damn bad.
@@ozzygilliam9194 Sucks to be you, then
Heavy gun shine on monster hunter gen pluse it's the best out of all the monsters hunter that is what I think.
It's a great game, but we aren't gonna sit here and pretend "it holds it's own" against MH World. Graphically it just doesn't. That said, it's made improvements that are leaps and bounds better than MHGU in everything but resolution. It's a great game that plays well and looks good.
Monster Hunter World is the only right answer.
Sorry, but I stand on the console and PC group. It's graphics for me, since I want to create a perfect waifu face and taking picture of her.
World can be as pretty as it wants but Rise is just straight up better in every other way.
Yes, tiny maps with largely empty locations and dated visuals running at 30 fps with fewer interactive environmental features is somehow better "in every way" than World. You can like a game without uttering falsehoods, man.
@@RicochetForce lmao found the "PC Gamer"
@@MrSnuggl3Bunny Is this supposed to be an insult? I play on PC for better performance than consoles + no paying for online multiplayer.
@@RicochetForce No, what you are is the typical "PC Gamer" with an insane backlog of unfinished games because you don't care about playing.
Btw,i played World on Pc for 1000 hours. I find Rise to be superior in many aspects.
@@SinisterSaintsExcellion You made a ridiculous assumption about me based on some stereotype about PC gamers you have bouncing around in your head. You're not worth engaging with anymore.
