Coming into the ancient woods, Lin Xue looked at everything around him with great curiosity.

The sky is blue and there are white clouds, lush trees shaking in the breeze, and the sun shines through the cracks of the trees, leaving a huge shadow.

In addition to the wind, there are bugs and birds and everything is very quiet and peaceful.

“Wow, what a view!” Lin Xue walked around curiously measuring everything around her.

This opening is completely different from The Dark Soul, without any danger, and the environment is not frightening at all. Instead, there is a sense of harmony in nature.

This is followed by a simple system guide that includes viewing maps, searching for resources with guideworms, cutting back on dewy grass, avoiding dragons in the grass, climbing vines, searching for ancient footprints, and more.

In the process, Lin Xue followed investigators through ancient tree forests to take a look at the beauty of the entire ancient forest.

“Why doesn't this game make me fight? It's boring!” Lin Xuechuan.

Lin Xue was ready to be abused, but it didn't work!

Like "The Dark Soul," it was particularly straightforward to start a very short CG, and it started to suffer directly, but "The Monster Hunter" started for 10 minutes, and there was absolutely no place to fight, and the show was over.

There were two battles, one on the road met a bunch of small Jackroach dragons, but these Jackroach dragons clearly had low intelligence, Lin Xue and investigators went into the grass to hide, Jackroach dragon ran away; the second on the front door of the investigation base met the Big Jackroach dragon, and then saw an outrage, and the Big Jackroach dragon was chased away by the leader of the investigation team who came to support him.

This made Lin Xue a little lost. He was supposed to play this game for suffering. Oh no, the show came with technology, and it turned out to be 10 minutes of outrage, which is awkward.

However, the opening was quite good, from Oasis to Monster Hunter seamlessly connected, as if the boat had arrived in the new world; the teaching content was well inserted into the opening drama, which included both basic operations and game mechanisms; and, of course, the most important thing was to show the players the full picture of the monster hunter world in an extremely shocking way.

Plants, animals, insects, special herbs… Everything in the forest is fictitious, yet very real, and this is like a new continent that has never been unearthed, with every inch of land that keeps players going back.

Coming to the star survey base, Lin Xue felt that her eyes were not enough, and that she had a feeling of getting lost.

The so-called investigation base is actually the Castle, although the Castle is also full of the smell of "Monster Hunter".

The main building materials for the entire hunter's stronghold are wood, iron chains and the skeletons or teeth of monsters, and many seaships simply use them as part of the overall investigation stronghold, which fills the entire investigation stronghold with a savage atmosphere but fits perfectly with the hunter's traits.

At the pier, hunters and investigators were moving cargo from the boat down to various locations in the survey positions.

At this time, Lin Xue is located in a "circulation area” and can also be seen as a commercial area for the entire hunter stronghold. Here are hunters who conduct surveys, scholars who conduct research, and technicians who support them behind their backs.

Animal Research Institute, Plant Research Institute, Marine Commerce, Command… all have their own characteristics.

For example, plants on a variety of new continents are grown in the Botanical Institute, and even the ceiling is covered with a variety of vines, underneath which is a small watershed where aquatic plants are grown. Scholars buried their heads and carefully observed and recorded data on these plants.

After meeting with the Mission's Commander-in-Chief, Lin Xue followed the team leader and began to wander around the investigative position.

The survey base is still divided into many floors, the lowest level is the business district, then up is the forged weapons, armour processing house, dining area, hunter's residence...

“So many places... I can't remember! ”

Lin Xue blushed. If the investigation squad leader hadn't led the way in front, she would have been lost.

Unlike Dark Souls, the town of Monster Hunter is so lively and full of life. Especially what Lin Xue really likes is the dining area, which actually uses cats for cooking!

Exactly, the cats and cats you saw on the boat walking upright. Lin Xue used to think that these cats were just hunter's pets, but now they don't seem at all. They are more like hunter's partners and play a very important role in all aspects.

After the battle meeting, the investigation squad leader arranged for Lin Xue to choose a weapon and start hunting.

Coming to the hunter's cabin, with 14 basic weapons inside, Lin Xue was simply eye-catching.

Monster Hunter is unprofessional, and players can choose one of the fourteen weapons as their weapon or change it at any time. As for the entire skill system, like The Dark Soul, it is tied to a weapon.

In other words, selecting weapons is equivalent to choosing a profession, and these 14 different types of weapons will directly determine the way the player will fight in the future.

“Wow, like a promotional film, so many weapons! ”

“Do you have video and weapon features? That's very sweet, take a look...”

Fifteen minutes later.

Lin Xue feels like a fog and has no idea what to choose.

Monster Hunter's battle system looks similar to Dark Souls, but it's actually completely different.

Dark Souls has few weapons skills and spends most of its time cutting them flat, occasionally using weapons' tactics; however, Monster Hunter has a wide variety of continuous and combined skills, as well as many different kinds of ammunition for long-range weapons, and learning costs are still high for newcomers.

Lin Xue's head is too big to be sure.

“The giant sword looks so handsome, it feels heavier than the big sword in The Dark Soul, I want to play! ”

“Does this knife look very flexible and it says it's suitable for beginners? ”

“Wow, the effect of heavy crossbows, it's like Gatling, it's all an FPS game! ”

Lin Xue hesitated for half a day and finally decided: “The knife, it's you! ”

The bullet flashed through a bunch of question marks.

What the hell did you just say about half a day of swordsmanship, flexible knives, cool heavy crossbows, and picking a katana with your backhand?

Lin Xue grasped the skill of the katana and explained: "What do you know? John is a one-time thing, handsome is a lifetime thing! ”
