Yahtzee did not review the game, that's the main point that every fan of the game is saying. He reviewed the tutorial of the game. If you liked the game based on what Yahtzee said the game was, then you will not like Monster Hunter, because that is not the game. Also MH3 is kind of like a...

If playing the role of a person determines whether or a game is in RPG, then almost every game ever made is an RPG. If you go by character development or making equipment, then Monster Hunter is not an RPG because your character never develops and making equipment is not required to do at all...

The big difference is that Monster Hunter requires the skill of the player to beat the game rather than the skill of the armour/weapons. Stronger weapons only become mandatory after a certain point in the game (a loooong ways into the game), armour is not even necessary at all. It is...

Hammers are fast, they can dish out 3 attacks at almost the same speed as lances 3 attacks and about 1/1.5 great sword swings. That is not slow. They are also the high tier (probably highest tier) weapons. Which means, if you are awesomely good with a hammer, you will beat any monster faster...

Believe it or not, the giant hammer is actually a fast weapon. So is the lance, long sword and Slashaxe in one of it's modes. These are the bigger weapons too. It's not that the character is moving it at inhuman speeds, it's hard to explain without seeing it though. The smaller weapons, sword...

Your thoughts are flawed though. I just explained that no weapon is actually slow in the game. Just because you are fighting a fast monster, does not mean there is no opportunities for a slow weapon to hit.

Monster Hunter is different though. Really, there is no game yet designed like Monster Hunter (which is surprising to me). The game will NOT appeal to you in the first hours. I don't think I've met anyone who says "OH WOW DID YOU JUST SEE ME CATCH THAT FISH!? THIS IS THE SHIT!" Even I hated it...

How is this the game's fault then? Yes there other weapons. None of the weapons are slow and none of them are fast, in a sense. A weapon may attack more, but you'll almost never have time to attack that much or else the monster will hit you. A slow weapon, for example, may give you only 1...

He did not review the game, he reviewed the tutorial. People who have actually played Monster Hunter would tell you the game is about hunting big monsters to gather material from them to fight even bigger and harder monsters. It is not about gathering mushrooms or honey (like in Yahtzee's...

You won't like the game if you have never played Monster Hunter before and they just thrust you into the meat of the game, and you won't like the game if you think the tutorial is too long. Basically there are two kinds (maybe three?) people who do not like this game. Group A) The people who...
