Maybe not by a ton, they both have some of the same problems, but the combat is SO MUCH MORE engaging and fun in MHS2. I've never played a Monster Hunter before this one and I'm totally in love with collecting all the Monsters and fighting alongside them, as well as crafting and upgrading the various gear.
I say this as someone who has over 200 hours into Sw/Sh, but I've enjoyed my first 40 hours of MHS2 a lot more than I did the main game of Sw/Sh. It's kind of amazing to me how little hype I've seen around MHS2. Every time I've searched Board 8 for a topic about it, nothing comes back!
Someone here get this for Switch so we can do co-op missions together!
