One thing I will say about what little time I spent in the Monster Hunter Wilds beta is that I think having your assistant ask you what your preferred style of play is and recommend a weapon based on that feels way better for new players than “here’s 16 weapons in your inventory, choose one”

I actually wanted to test it and did her questionaire with the intent of getting IG and it worked first try, so it seems to be quite well tuned as well
What if you picked Greatsword and then you hated the game because you thought everything was that slow?
It also didn't make much sense considering how I answered the questions.
Silly assistant! I'm Dual Blades for life! They should've known better 😆
But I main Charge Blade and Bow. CB has a mode where you slash with a sword/shield it's sorta fast, but it can then transform into a big axe for big bonks. I find it a good balance between fast and slow.
Also, every monster has a "tell" for every move. Like, maybe it slightly steps back before it tries to run you over.
When MHWorld came out I TRIED to enjoy it, especially since I avidly play Dragon’s Dogma, but the “here is 16 weapons now pick one” was a major part of my struggle (very bad combo paired with ADHD 😬) so I find this rather encouraging. 👍👍👍
I’m a sniper who doesn’t mind a bit of ambush melee as a change of pace.
