Monster Hunter: World
And finally, Monster Hunter World has reached critical mass with the game launching just a couple of days ago. Players are storming the New World hunting monsters in droves and generally having a ball. The Wiki has exploded with hunters having questions primarily about where to get certain materials, and in case you were wondering the Insect Glaive is the most popular weapon with the Charge Blade not too far behind. Be sure to check out the Monster Hunter World Wiki if you have any questions (and don’t forget to help add things to help others), and we’ve prepared an intro series of weapon videos right on our YouTube channel for your enjoyment.
