So I downloaded the demo for this. Is this game seriously only selecting a monster from the title screen, spawning in a camp, taking stuff out of a chest and sprinting to where it is on the map?

The demo? Yes.

youtube is your friend

Yes, the full game is literally the exact same as a very limited demo of the game.

So what's the actual game like? The combat is nice (albeit that I'm getting frustrated with all the movement locking), but in the demo there's pretty much no semblance of a world or people to talk to.

Is it really that hard to research things? Like to type "Monster hunter gameplay" into youtube and search around?

You will easily find that what you're thinking is not the case and just a thing with the demo.

monster hunter has never been story focused. you select missions, travel to where the monster is located and slay it.

the reason this works so well is because of how much effort is put into the combat.

It's a demo, not the full game, what do you expect?

Do dual blades get their extra sharpness back in this one?

You have an actual hub in the main game, with several towns to go around. You'll do armor/weapon crafting here and shit too.

Literally endless videos of combat
