When I agreed to go hands-on with Monster Hunter: World a couple of possible problems cropped up in the back of my mind. First, I have never played a Monster Hunter game. I’ve heard of the series, sure, but I’ve never actually tried it. Second issue? I’m not what you would call a fan of playing with others. Collaborative, competitive, it doesn’t matter; I’d rather play on my own, and I tend to avoid games that make you feel like a kid at a new school being pushed towards your ‘new friends’.

My reticence for online play was, of course, only exacerbated by the fact that I’d never touched this game before. You know those people that get on stage at huge gaming events and play a live demo in front of a huge audience? I think they may be some of the bravest people in the world because you couldn’t pay me to do that. Performance anxiety is a thing.
