" ...  Easy to join up online to network together.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It’s also less clear on how to play offline which involves making an online lobby and simply setting it to “Private.” Players can typically set each quest whether to allow other members in their lobby to be able to join, though some Investigations (special hunting sidequests with extra rewards) may limit how many hunters can tackle the assignment to ramp up the challenge.  ...  "

" ...  Clunky to terrible play control.  ...  "
comment
" ...  You can't expect the same button press to always do the same attack. ... I'm not even pressing the buttons to put the weapon away, but the weapon gets put away mid fight.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Tough because the dodge button is a suggestion rather than a command.  ...  "

" ...  I want to love this game so bad for the great exploration aspects but at the end of the day the poor controls make it an extreme exercise in patience opposed to anything actually fun.  ...  "

" ...  This game is hard it's not easy and a lot of the mechanics aren't for I want to button mash noobs.  ...  "
