I like RPGs. Final Fantasy, Witcher 3, Fallout 3 and 4, Skyrim, Morrowind, Oblivion, etc.

Will I enjoy Monster Hunter: World? Is it good? Does it have a good story? Or is it (too) fetch-questy?

I’m looking at this one because it’s available with Spanish audio and text whereas other Monster World games only have Spanish text, if that. So the others aren’t an option, but feel free to compare this one to the others.

    You might have put it back on the list then.

    “anime bullshit”: the characters occasionally seem to be supernaturally powerful in order to advance the plot…

    I was dreading the qualification there, I thought you were going to say it’s as inappropriate as Seven Deadly Sins. That would’ve been a definite no. I can deal with supernaturally powerful. It’ll be like this guy I used to know who got really strong after eating tins of spinach.

      Oh no none of that. Not even the slightest whiff. Anyone who doesn’t respect consent is clearly a villain, and you usually end up punching them a lot.

      Your role towards child characters is strictly paternal. No “well the age of consent here is 14”. No “actually she’s a 1,000 year-old vampire” creepiness. I’ve only gotten through the first 3 games so far, and I could be forgetting something, but I don’t think any of the villains even cross that line of sexualizing children.

      It’s not perfectly progressive. I don’t think I’ve seen a strong female character yet, just damsels in distress. There was some less-than-ideal trans representation early in the series, although I’ve heard they’ve improved upon that in more recent games. The games are definitely marketed towards a male demographic. But there was nothing I’d be uncomfortable playing around my wife or friends.
