Sales of the Monster Hunter Wilds game have begun in Russia

In the game, you need to beat huge monsters for a long time — and for this she is adored all over the world. Even the very first battle, the prelude to the game, lasts about 10 minutes, and during all this time, the chosen character does very little damage to the monster. In addition, the game cannot be paused during the hunt: all decisions have to be made in real time.

Moreover, the battle takes place not only with the enemy, but also with the complex interface of the game. Controlling a hunter is almost the same as becoming a fighter pilot. Monster Hunter Wilds, without any special warnings, immediately pours out a million menus all over the screen; a bunch of weapons that are not so easy to choose from because they have too many characteristics; a roomy inventory with so many items at once that the eyes do not know where to look.

It may seem that all this is some kind of nightmare for gamers, but it was this gameplay that made the Monster Hunter series iconic and divided video game fans into those who liked it and those who, at the mere mention of "Monhan", frown disgustedly, remembering these endless battles that also have to be replayed in in case of defeat.
