Monster Hunter I feel has 3 distinct breaks in it's cycle, the first game, dos, freedom, freedom 2, freedom unite are all very similar and capture the core Monster Hunter experience, then Tri was the first big break, it changed the art style and was a lot more experimental and brought on the Nintendo Era which if I'm honest was my least liked era as it felt like too much was changing, especially with 4, 4u, generations etc... They all started to try to make the game flashy where the Hunter was a god like human who could do insane things, it added things like mounting and other "gimicky" mechanics that trivilarised the experience and made things feel formulaic. Then the next big break was World, where everything changed again and finally the game started to look fantastic, but it did smooth out too many of the really good parts of the game although I do feel like World reduced some of the gimmicks and returned to a more realistic approach which made me happy. Honestly I just want a high definition Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.... :( Maybe MHGU without the hunter arts and special moves etc...

I too hate the spiribird mechanic. That’s why I augmented all of my armor to have spiribird’s call, that way I wouldn’t have to collect them anymore!

i don’t like the birds either so i just don’t collect them

Agree with all except quropiko

are we not going to talk about basarios? basically lavasioth but worse in my opinion.

I was looking for arch tempered daora. Brachy was super fun for me

this guy is going to have a really bad time when he finds out whales are fish

A list like this that doesn't have Plesioth as number one and Kirin as at least an honourable mention is a very questionable list. Agreed on the first two but the other two? Absolutely not!

uhhhhh, i like spirit birds, am i the only guy on earth here that likes them ?

(WARNING THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG COMMENT) Ummmm I think you’re getting the point of the classes wrong here they’re mostly like to help the hunters know what to expect to fight when hunting examples of this world be like gore magala despite being obviously and ED it’s classified as ??? This is because it can be captured and one of the traits for EDs is that they can’t be captured this help the hunter know that this monster can be captured displacing it from its correct categorization of an ED. This method is used as a main basis however it’s not completely used universally as you can see the bird wyvern category vs the fling wyvern category this is done mostly due to ancestry now a few monsters you pointed out i will try and help you understand their categorization you see poalumu is designated as a flying wyvern instead of a fanged beast despite being obviously a mammal because of the wings fanged beasts never fly just look at that first word fanged which is like fanged wyvern their reptilian counterparts the main categorization of these is their lack of flight so when you see fanged beast hunters will automatically make the connection hence paolumu being a flying wyvern another monster you pointed out was gigginox and its classification in the flying wyvern grouping this is more so due to it having wings telling the hunters they can harvest those and it not being related to birds (the requirement to be a bird wyvern) however this monster happens to be one that actually has a subcategory of cave wyvern telling the hunter to expect a more khezu style fight and a small if not nonexistent amount of flight. Hoped this helped

I hate spiribirds also but spiribird's call + dango bird caller makes it so you can ignore them and they still max out very early in the hunt, which makes it fine imo

I hope Capcom doesn't do something completely nonsensical like classify, oh I dunno, Lagomby as a bear or something. Capcom:

The spiribirds are not a problem, you can hunt the monster without relying on the spiribirds, I do that most of the time, for example in low rank, I usually finish up the hunt within 15 minutes only, in high rank and master rank about 25 minutes which is a lot of extra time, they are not something to be pissed off because they somehow ruined the gameplay to be honest so just chill, the spiribirds are not a nuisance, you can just ignore those and get on grinding for high damaging weapons and improve your armor sets, stick to the old ways

I hate Black DIablos, if it's not screaming then it's burrowing (but not for long enough to equip/fire screamer pods). Full earplugs are a pain to equip due to using up so many decoration slots. I hate that I have to hunt her over & over again in the Guiding Lands for upgrading weapons. If I get a regular Diablos in the GL at the same time as a Black Diablos then I'm noping outa there

The series is becoming monster killer not hunter. Honestly with the trajectory of the game just drop us in an Arena with the monster and let us go to town. Let's stream line it all the way. No more tracking,prep,eating meals ect ect. Let's stop this slow deterioration.

2:30 you didn't take into account that flying wyvern isn't a term in Japanese with the name meaning true wyvern.

Yeah they are dumb. Running a sonic route every hunt is so cheap feeling

No horn?

6:00 I think renaming jellyfish and starfish entirely isn’t really needed. If you can’t tell the difference between a jellyfish and a tuna for example, then your probably just kinda stupid.

afaik the monster classifications are just the ones provided to hunters, and that only had relevant info for them. is it similar to other flying wyverns? call it that. does it move like other bird wyverns? call it a bird wyvern. its not linked to biology but merely the basic info a hunter needs

For me it's mostly how mandatory it is. If it was an actual addition instead of just taking away from the eating boosts.

Tbh I never minded the birds they felt more like a slight difficulty slider more than anything. Not necessary in the slightest but there as an option for less skilled hunters/ for a more comfortable hunt. Plus every area has a route you can take where you’ll get a good number of bird buffs in only a few minutes and there’s the skill added in Sunbreak that’ll automatically give you the buffs gradually

good thing there is a mod for that brothar

WE ALL HATES SPIRIT BIRDs, you're not alone.

Am I the only one who likes the spiribirds?

If i had a hated monster it whould be conga and congalala for its gas attacks and monster hunter world's fatalis. Previous game iterations of fatalis was litterally of being very skilled and know what ur doing. Meenwhile in worlds case its a litteral *raid boss* that your required to fight it a certain way with a certain play style and the fact that u have to fight it solo with a npc that does no damage to it over time and is just there to look pretty leaves u to doing all the work in under 25 minutes is downright criminal

I will always have a white hot rage towards lagombi

I gotta point out Gravios, Badarios, and Uragaan. Fighting rocks is not fun.

before 4U, the old rathalos was such a hassle, you could only carry and combine so many flash bombs before you just had to stand there and wait for him to land or use bowgun

Lunastra was a great fight and a vast improvement from being just a blue Teostra clone in the old games. If I'm being honest, she was a harder and better than her counterpart. She was more of a inconvenience to fight than Teostra, but had more to her fight than Teostra. She really makes you stop trying brute forcing and spamming and make you think carefully instead. Or you can just put some more defensive skills on to help. But I know a lot of MHWorld players are allergic to both of those things. But I do agree with Kushala being annoying, especially when he's always in the air. Giving me ptsd from Azure Rathalos in MHFreedom

And all the rathalos and rathians

Tigrex is definitely on here for me

spirit bird is fine if they dont remove vitality decoration tbh

Spirit birds are the only reason i tell new comers to play world first they realy kill the flow of rises hunts and i started with rise But if the game wasnt that easy in the beginning i wout have probaly hated monster hunter

Just use spiribirds call

Where my bois gen 2 chameleos and purple gypceros at? Both of them outrank everyone on this list except plesioth imo.

Legiana, i have a personal vendetta against that icy rat

Kushala Daora not being on this list is criminal. He’s always staying in his tornados and flying around. One of the fights I personally dislike😭

I hate the raging brachydios in iceborne, he's really hard and made me question if I was just trash or not.

For me it's the wirebugs. Totally ruins the game for me.

not a single monster from MH Freedom. Why?

Gen Ult Yian Garuga is HORRIBLE. Every little movement he does knocks melee players on their asses before they can even get any meaningful damage in, and the roars are much more frequent than in World. I enjoyed World’s Garuga much more

I can't believe how difficult the first velocidrome mission is

To be brutally honest I prefer old Monster Hunter games b/c they have more style and flare representative of action games in Capcom's library (like DMC or Sengoku Basara) Monster Hunter World and onward tone down that unique style to create an experience that would attract a western audience that was used to the aesthetic and feeling of playing common online rpgs like Skyrim or WoW. It actually annoys me a lot how much Capcom invested in making MH World an experience that appeals more toward that crowd of gamers.

Not sure if this counts but Extreme Behemoth is so annoying i hate that dreaded thing so much i wish final fantasy never did a collaboration with Monster Hunter and the ONLY good thing coming out of that quest is the layered armor thats IT I HATE THAT STUPID DOG

Deadass spirit birds dropped sunbreak from a 8/10 for me to a 5/10. Especially with the solo grind to beat the harder fights (ie risens). Thank god for mods

But not all elders use the dragon element.

Finally, someone acknowledging Brachy as a really annoying monster.

I always figured you get spirit birds as you run around hunting the monster. I mean who would run around the map at the beginning of EVERY hunt looking for birds that sounds tedious. One would have to be a real dummy 😐

As someone who started with Tri when it released, I feel like the clunkinese of the controls was not a good way to make the games difficult. As much as I love “classic” monster hunter, I always felt with every game except for world that I’m more fighting the controls rather than fighting the monster. Sure, it was a “challenge” but not in a good way. When World became more “fluid,” I loved it since it meant I didn’t have to deal with control frustration anymore. I remember even back when I was a new hunter, that some monsters made me audibly groan because they felt like oversized hit boxes running back and fourth while you had to deal with unresponsive clunk, and the constant thought of “I can’t wait to get this chore over with” was a feeling I never lost when facing some of the “harder” monsters (from Gen 3, to 4, then to 2 and 1, then to Gen ultimate, then finally when I played world is when I lost that feeling).
