i only recently got the game this year, no 300 hours or anything like that but that shouldn't matter.
I personally dont get all the hype for this game. Its overrated like a lot of others, people will always say "this is the greatest" or "best game i ever played, i have over 700 hours" i honestly hate when they do that, same for those who say "i hate it, its horrible" they never say WHY, they jusy say its amazing or its terrible.
Its annoying.
Personally i love the game, but Its not like the best or most amazing thing but its pretty great considering.
BUT! I will say i definitely enjoy it, even after i was offline for a little bit it was still playable, i enjoy the graphics and attention to detail, the monster models look awesome and have a great amount of detail to them, the animations are great as well.
When you think about it the concepts pretty simple, kill monsters get better gear kill bigger monster's.
My personal favorite is the tobi kadachi.
I love its design and movements
Its too bad you have to kill all these beautiful creatures i wish you could try to bond or interact with some of them, maybe if there was a certain system where you could eventually achieve a docile relationship with some of the beginning monsters, great jagras, tobi, others, that would be awesome.
The maps are actually not as big as i expected, in fact there kinda linear, i wish they were abit more open, but the detail put into is pretty good.
The only problems i have with the game is the lip sync along with the difficulty on some of the monsters, however most of then are pretty balanced.
Id say a 9 out of 10. 4 and a half stars.
I do love this game tho, it brings me this skyrim/darkcsouls vibe.
Because this game is made by capcom, a company which i really like and also doesnt scam you of your money, i cant be to upset, plus theres not too much to be mad about besides the repetitiveness, i also enjoy it because it reminds me of skyrim.
(im actually working on making a good fantasy action RPG game, if i do actually carry on with it i want it to have references to this game and other's as this is a great example of a good RPG)
