Monster Hunter Rise Player base

You'll be fine. It takes time to understand the combat and mechanics, but once you'll get the hang of it it's a very fun experience. The village quests handed out by Hinoa are like a tutorial, solo-only quests with smaller health pools etc. It's best to try out the weapons there to see what you like the most, and after that you're good to go to tackle the hub quests from Minoto. These are seperated in Low & High Rank and can be played with other people online. If you have trouble at any poimt of time, remember that you can customize your buddies! Palamutes are more damage oriented, while Palicos are supporters with a wide range of skills. There's also the Defender Armor and Weapons which can help you clearing the early game, but since it's made for people who just want to get to the expansion ASAP, it's not adviced for newcomers.

And yes, there are still enough people that play the base game :)

After Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's performance issues, the developer is having "conversations" about how often new games release

Reply in thread

Not gonna lie, only having new pokemon for the story was a welcome change. It's a reason why Ruby and Saphire are so memorable to me, you only encountered new pokemon for the first few hours. I agree that the White Forest (and Black City) are beautiful places, tho I have to say that I prefer the BW2 versions because of the "rogue-like" facility.
