Thank goodness we have Alex to review this game. It's SO painful watching people review the game who don't know what they're doing
Eh... Yeah. Sure. 😊

@@draegore 2/10, too much monster hunting and water
He didn't review the game. He said so in the beginning of the video.
Best person to go to for MH review s is GajinHunter. Not only does he do reviews, but he also does tutorials and other MH related videos to help beginners get into the series.
As a newcomer that was introduced with Rise, I am excited to play this to experience the older style that I missed out on.
Does this hold up after playing world and rise?
@@GameLoreArchive I was surprised by how intuitive it was after playing the newer games, but it admittedly is not as easy to just pick up and play.
@@mitwhitgaming7722 Did you finish it (or still play it) or put it down after a while?
@@GameLoreArchive I played the opening, but have been saving it to play the next time I go on a long trip.
@@mitwhitgaming7722 Thanks for letting me know :)
Rule of every MH game: Never waste most of material on low ranked armor
Joe-Lewis Javon Nelson honestly thanks for the advice lmaooooo
yeah this is late, but why? am a new hunter since mhw and am gonna buy this soon. do you need the materials for high/master rank armor?
I was introduced with Rise and I made that mistake. By the time I unlocked the high rank armor I had to grind quest again for monsters I already beat.
@@tsf1769 basically yes
Unless u want to do the early game quests while oneshothing everything over 50 times
Im a 100hours into the game already and i just entered the high rank village. This game has so much content its insane.
Should I ge tit
@@mikestamp1188 Yeah :D One of the best MH out there
As someone who has always been a fan of the Monster Hunter series, and more importantly, the "hunter" game genre it spawned, in addition to being a huge handheld gaming fan, I always loved the PS Vita for all of the awesome hunter-style games it had to offer, whether it was an actual Monster Hunter game or one of the many different games that were in the genre, such a the Toukiden games for example. But, you know the one game I played on my Vita the most in this genre that I WISH TO GOD they would bring to the Nintendo Switch?? Freedom Wars! That game was so fun, being one of the last physical games I got for my Vita, I think I ended up putting at least a couple hundred hours into it, and I thoroughly enjoyed the hell out of that game, fighting mechs, using the thorn grappling hook, tearing parts off of mechs to create new guns & weapons that you could almost mod out and customize endlessly, all the while taking on newer, tougher mechs & missions, ever attempting to work off my 1-million-year indentured sentence to one day hopefully gain my freedom. I think this was one of the most underrated hunter-style games in the Vitas life that has HUGE potential if they would create a sequel, make it better than ever, add a ton of new features, weapons, enemies, and levels to the game, and bring it over to the Switch. I hope one day I can see an announcement that they will be doing just this, it would make my day for sure!
Just started playing this on my switch. This game is a love letter and a fond farewell to the old entries. I give it a Fatalis out of 10.
I have 3U but I heard Gen Ultimate’s art moves make it a lot easier, is that true?
I actually like the extra rambling at the end. It's a nice touch
I like your rambly thoughts. Non-scripted opinions feel more honest and less fake when it comes to telling the audience how you truly feel about the game you are currently playing. Although the main script gave a good idea of how the game reviews, the rambly thoughts is what solidifies if its a buy or nice try :)
Yeah, I'll likely get this at some point just to play this game in English, I pretty much got to end of this game in the Japanese version. Final boss in this game is something you've never seen before in Monster Hunter, it's freakin' awesome. lol
@Nintendo Player
Don't worry, Monster Hunter is really good at easing new players in. Generations Ultimate even more than 4 Ultimate, for example. The difficulty progresses at a steady, reasonable pace. Pick this one up! You won't regret it.
Finally we have MHXX outside Japan :')
I have question, MHGU and MHXX the same? I've only played MHFU and World, sank lots of hours into both.
@@mendozacarlosfelipew.3055 They are same, MHXX is just a japanese version.
@@mendozacarlosfelipew.3055 there is some missing content in GU. Specifically collaborations like Gutetama and Show By Rock
As long as it’s hi res I don’t care about the textures. I just don’t like blurry menus and character outlines
I like your bit at the end. It adds a more personal feel to the review. Keep up the good work!
My first Monster Hunter, I am really liking it so far :)
would you recommend to another new comer?
Local Man there’s a DEMO in the Nintendo shop if you want to try it😀
@@foofoocuddlyphoo7232 I already bought it now. thanks though.
Allot reviews say it’s fun once you get to know the controls? Is it easy to pick up or difficult for new player
@@awoken8infinite hey bud. Is there free dlc like the monster hunter on Wii U
Yo pro tip go full Cat mode for any and all gathering quests. Infinite picks and nets plus a faster gathering speed, it only makes sense
Loved the ramble section at the end, works really well in this reviewing format by giving some time for reflection and after thoughts.
How is it like when using the joycons on the grip? Do I have to buy the Pro Controller?
6:40 ... Or you could just go full Dual Blades the whole time and be a speed demon, like I.
EDIT: I like the rambling. Rambled Eggs.
Finally a reviewer of Monster Hunter that can deliver a quality review like the game and franchise deserve! Keep up the good work!
I already play it in 3ds but the screen was to small I definitely getting it for switch
As a newcomer it has been some work to get into it (so many tutorial videos watched), but this game is soooo entertaining. I'm curious about MHW, but I'm happy with this one for now.
Can I get a link to a "Black Belt" Armor tutorial? I know how to get the 'Black-belt Ticket's' from the Arena, but lost on the Coins.
So much to do and find in the game...it's more difficult than I thought xD playing since 50 hours(6 days) still craving to get over the weapons over 110 attack damage armor over 120 defense ....
I’ve never played a monster hunter game before but have always had an interest from a distance. I tried the demo last week and was confused as hell. Any tips for getting into the series with this game for a newbie?
foorocker Watch gaijin hunter. He will take great care of you. You can watch everything what you need, if it is not covered yet, from his mh generations videos. But there are already about all updated weapon tutorials.
I love the rambly thoughts at the end! I've been thinking about this game for a while, wasn't quite sure if I should pick it up since I've never played Monster Hunter, but between talking to a friend about it and now this review I'm sold. 👍🏻
Playing as a cat isn't a significant feature...ALL THE CAT LOVERS ARE EXCITED AND I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY AS IT!! Great review, I pre-ordered it, and will pick it up later today!!
As any other cat lover, every Calico by now has the name of one of my cats, or the neighbors' cats'.
It's possible to complete the game with a proper set up prowler - look up Gajin Hunter on TH-cam as he has videos to help you do it as he played both generations and ultimate (Japanese version) as prowler. He's one of the most prominent MH tubers around.
I appreciate hearing a second opinion at the end of the video!
Does anyone else have a problem where you cant upgrade the kensect. I cant figure it out for some reason I have the materials and everything it needs but I just switched back to the long sword becuase I just cant figure it out......
while the main review was great and in depth i preferred the 2 mins at the end with your rambly thoughts. i feel like the more unscripted style of review tends to come across better in a video/audio format. its nice to read a structured essay style review online or in a magazine but when it comes to a video review, i think you nailed it at the end there. more of this please :)
I would have prefered a remaster of 4 Ultimate with the addition of the new stuff Generations added like styles and prowler mode.
Thanks for the review (and for the rambling thoughts)!
I'm ready to spend hundreds of hours monster hunting again! ^^
The most proper review I have seen. I can honestly say I Will likely spend way to much of my life playing this game. Already spent well over 1000 hrs on previous titles and already can tell it really is a celebration of the best the game has offered over the years.
Ralph Cox be forwarned, if this is a direct 3ds port, all the weapons of a same rarity do the same damage. Yes, this means your massive grestsword does as much damage as your much smaller dual blades, which means that quests are balanced with this in mind and it feels way too easy to kill things compared to playing 3/4U. Aside from that I absolutely adore it, I played it when it came out on 3ds way back in ‘15
@@thefinalboss4552 They may have the same raw, but their Motion Values are completely different.
So I’ve played World and while it’s fun i feel like it doesn’t have the same tension as older games did (example, like freedom unite)
This game doesn’t look as pretty but it looks more like what made the older ones so butt tightening amazing
I hve mhw iceborne on ps4 wondering if I should get this before rise on my switch
It's $15 now
I saw it on sale for $15 and am debating on getting it myself. Not sure if I wanna shell out anymore money for games for awhile as I feel like I've bought too many recently, but $15 is definitely a nice price.
I'm just getting a Switch this weekend, and I'm wondering after I'm done with MH Rise, whether It's too late to dive into Generations? I'm guessing by the time I got around to it especially it would be nearly impossible to play the multi-player aspects of the game because almost everybody has moved on. I don't mind that so much IF I can do it all solo.
its still very active online
I actually bought Switch for this game honestly, can't wait to get it and play it
Same it's an awesome game
What’s the verdict?
@@Luckerz_- sorry if you aren’t looking for a response anymore. However I also bought the switch for this game(on a discount rn btw) it’s absolutely amazing. It’s a game that take patience though. You need to learn the monsters animations to make progress. For some that’s too much focus one can take and for others it’s perfect. It forces you to be immersed in the game. Youre completely focused on the enemy and completing your mission. I love it. Takes me away from the world for awhile while feeling accomplished for what I’ve done.
USD$11.99 (70% off) on US Eshop right now. A good time as any to add it to the library!
Tip for everyone just starting, I was gathering a fair bit at the start for potions n stuff but you can download a bunch of starter pack dlcs for free with hundreds of materials and potions n ect, you also get a bunch of eggs to sell I have 275k zenny now but I could sell the plat eggs and have like a million combined with other eggs
Michael Pelton go into your room talk to your house keeper cat and go to the dlc section
Michael Pelton yeah man no problem, and yea there’s a ton of stuff there man I got everything I could for most part the item packs are insanely helpful
Am picking it up today. I am so excitied
The gathering quests pop up more often than they should? You are aware that aside from 1star quests, there are like no gathering quests that are required key quests, right?
Currently a 50% sale on generations and ultimate 4 for 3DS.. never played a monster hunter game in my life.. are they single player friendly, and which is better out of the two for someone that has never played them? I do have a switch as well but I want to try a major game with the whole 3D thing :) Sale for another day or two, so any replies welcome! Cheers
For single player and outstanding end game content, MH4U. Generations on 3DS is also good, it gives a nice twist to what 4U offers. Did you buy a MH on past week sale?
@@jorge.aguirre Hi Jorge, thank you very much. No, I didn't end up buying one because I downloaded the demo on switch and found I got zero enjoyment out of the gameplay and hunting animals. I found it just as bad as stuff like big game hunter for me.
Checking out this review, thinking about getting this once I'm "done" with Rise. Seems like a very different game!
Bro I'm so hyped I'm waiting to play it with a friend but world came out on ps4 and xbox at launch and this month on pc
I have a question do you have to play generations before you play generations ultimate?
I'm going for a big operation on my spine on the 10th of may, and I'm going to be very beaten up for a while so I'm debating getting this game for the switch. Any idea's on if it's ok for noobs, I've never played a single one 🙄🙄🙄
BUY IT.
All that needs to be said...
i played sinces monster hunter 3 tri. i played world and beat the game im hr 470. now im playing mhgu and i love this game more then world. i quit world. this game has way more content then world. im hr 55 on mhgu now. i just finished upgradeing my G rank armor and weapons. hey alex lets hunt later on. yup mhgu is great i like it. 93 monsters is a lot. i already ended the game and i still never met all 93 monsters yet. i must of met about 85 monsters right now
@Garry King Is this game worth getting? I honestly only got my switch a few months ago. Didn't see that this game was on da switch.
I just got this. While I like the improvements World made, something felt missing. Already played GU a few hours and I like it more than World. I missed the quirkiness of the more traditional games.
Should I wait for Gen ultimate to make a 3ds international release or get 4u?
Unfortunately I don't think there will be a 3DS release, since the game is affected by the NIntendo Online, the 3DS won't get it as it isn't affected by it, so get either MH4U (Monster hunter 4 Ultimate) or MHG (Monster Hunter Generations).
Finally! A reviewer who knows the game and appreciate its quirks and truly spent their time exploring playing the game for what it all has to offer! Thank you Alex QwQ
I'd be interested to know if Alex ever disagrees with any of the the reviews he adapts to video
So much better then the spawn wave review.
@Kuma Wilson Well, actually... With the review on the Spawn Wave channel, the guy complained that the multiplayer system was hard to understand, despite the fact one of the first things the game does upon opening, is tell you exactly how to set it up. There were a few other things he said that he didn't understand, which are also explained in vigorous detail through in-game dialogue. It's the kind of stuff you'd only miss if you hurriedly skipped through all the dialogue without caring. But we hear the guy complain, and complain about it despite the fact that his bewilderment is clearly his own fault for not paying attention in the first place.
@@Patrick-bn5rp Monster Hunter is def the kind of game you shouldn't Arin Hanson it thru
*than
Kuma Wilson I like how you didn’t reply back because you were just wrong
On sale for £14.39 now instead of £44.99
Not sure I’ll get it though as I plan to buy the new one coming out in a couple of months.
Good review I’ve been playing monster hunter since 3u and I can’t wait to pick this up today
Alex Lewis play freedom unite damn hard game with lots of bullshit but it's one of the best.
Erase lol I bought a psp just for that game and got 70+ hours and made it to village high rank. It was pretty tough but I loved it
I started with 3U too! MHGU is by far my favourite MH game. I never got the chance to play world but I did get to pick up my 3U game again and made it to G Rank with my sibling and bought her a second hand copy of 3U for 3DS
SquidOnGlitter I have 3U, should I get Gen Ultimate? I was gonna get it but I heard the arts moves made the game alot easier. Is that true?
VidsAreCool4U that sort of the case but it’s not ridiculously easy. Most monsters weren’t really designed around the mechanics but the deviants that you fight at the end of the game are, and they far more difficult than almost anything in mh3u. I also think monsters deal a bit more damage to compensate for the new abilities. I’d say you should get it if you like mh3u, but mh4u is still the best monster hunter experience if you ask me.
Playing it already. Love it so much!
I got hooked on mhw 1k hours and hr 305...I'm picking this up this week..need people to play with
@@naarmi1 I can hunt with you, if you have a question feel free to ask
@@naarmi1 wtf what are you doing there. I am almost 1000hours and my HR is 800+
@@mohdabdul5664 helping friends out ranking up,and fellow hunters on the discord channel,as we get new hunter joining.also after HR 100 it doesnt mean anything
@@naarmi1 aah k , good job then
First mh i played was freedom unite and that game made my childhood, it was just a fact of you hunting giant monsters and craft your own armor and weapons from their materials was amazing for me
I hope this brings me back
Ive never played a monster hunter game but the concept seems cool, ive played the demo and i found the combat quite slow and clunky but i dno if thats something you get used to when playing it or maybe i was doing something wrong (it also seemed like every single attack knocks you over and you take forever to stand back up,) should i get it or will it be a waste of money for a noob
Earth Gaia i got it yesterday but havent played it yet, i had the same thought that everyone starts from the bottom
I finally just got it on the 3ds... I can’t afford a switch rn maybe sometime soon though
Not a fan of the controls but I'll figure it out, it sucks that I can't stay up in the air with the insect glaive
Hearing you ramble is the main reason I'm subscribed to the channel. So i absolutely liked the last handful of minutes.
When i found out it had the original MH content i was sold. Party like it's 2004. Oh and yeah, i like this better than MHW.
I saw that title and misread it as "bigger than the world" was very confused
I just realized that this game was originally released in 2015. how alive are the online servers still?
Picked up mhgu about a week ago having an absolute blast good review however I feel you really under sell the prowler mode it can be quite fun and is definitely a part I enjoy very much. all those world Fanboys calling it ugly clearly are biased. yes the graphics are dated but I find everything quite beautiful especially the weapons and armour which destroy mhws designs which are truly bland and ugly. Which I hope Capcom rectifies so I can enjoy mhw as much as I'm enjoying Gu. Also wanna see g rank in world cause Gu is kicking my ass and that makes it all the more rewarding when I finally beat the monster.
I basically just got into mh with world and iceborn I think me and my friend are close to beating iceborne I do really like those two games on my pc (I've never liked the switch but being able to go and play an older Mh is kinda tempting)
Get a switch cheap and play this. 100% worth it.
Planning to play this after im done with monster hunter 4 ultimate🙂
Fbi are mh fans confirmed
@@Daisy-ov1sh finished both now lol and world
I played this on 3ds and due to the way it was setup i kept turning it off by mistake lol. So i returned the 3ds and waited for world. Having realised this is available il be grabbing a switch in black friday sales
Finally someone who does a review instead of just comparing it to mhw
Could I get into this game as a new fan? I’m so keen to try Rise and Stories next year, but I’ve never played a MH game before so figured I should try one :) this game is always on sale so will be worth getting too!
It's $16 until October 1st. lowest it's ever been
Jose Sainez I’m in South Africa, but yeah it’s just about that equivalent for me! Busy playing the demo to see if it’s something I’d like or not :D
I'm having the same thought. Both this game and final fantasy are super cheap right now, but I've never played any of these games. So am unsure if I'll like it and which one to get😅
@@christi6934 both great rpgs haha but I don't think mhgu will be this low again capcom usually doesn't go lower than 50% off its 60% off rn to help promote mh rise as for final fantasy I can see it going a bit lower during the holidays
I'd like to see some of the frontier monsters make an appearance to the west. Some of those beasties are simply stunning!
But nevertheless MHGENU has a massive roster of monsters to carve and get triple carted by^_^
This dudes voice is so deep lol. Just doesn’t look like his voice would match. Anyway nice well done review.
Went from world to this at first I hated it but after forcing myself to play it I actually really like it, A lot harder than world
Wish this was on PC as well.
Wonder if switch will get a new monster Hunter ever. One built from the ground up for it.
We just got an announcement, march 2021
I love MHGU but you can’t beat how smooth MHU was with no loading screens between sections.
Picked this up for £12 today on the nintendo store. Well worth it!
Note: If you have only played World, you will probably not like this game as you have never played a monster hunter game. You played a VERY simplified version of monster hunter.
That being said, i hope you do give this game a try and truly enjoy what monster hunter really is.
Good to see the cephadrome hitbox is still the same.
Prowler a side mode? People solo g-rank monsters comfortably with those kitties
It's on sale on eShop.... Miiight get this. Got to decide if I want to dedicate time.
Still world is the future as its combat is perfect
I never played monster hunter. Would I be missing a lot if I were to get ultimate?
No infact you will missing alot if you play mhw before mhgu
Not buying until the Filip Miucin review!!!!
IAm DANTE you just watched it
Sure if you want a FUCKTARDed copy cat
@@beastmode3266 u missed the fkin joke, and it had been 12 months
Help I just got this game cause I was curious about the series but the moment I leave the settlement I get my teeth kicked in, it's frustrating.
WELCOME TO MONSTER HUNTER YOU'LL GET USED TO IT
Best review till date, came here after watching IGN's review of the game which moreover felt like a companion with Monster Hunter World rather than a review.
And thus every comment said that the review was full of shit and the game was great on its own since it basically came out years before MHW and thus could not be compared with that.
Thanks for being just to one of my favorite game series.😁
Note- I have played every Monster Hunter game since MH3U and just watched the IGN's review since it came up on my suggested videos on TH-cam and thus had to watch this one to see if I was the only one who like it. 😂🤟
so is this going to be extremely hard then? if I can play dark souls and dead cells and stuff, should I be OK though? I only really suck at online FPS games TBH, as long as I don't have to do that, it should be fine.
Kind of a late reply, but no, as both a fan of Dark Souls and MH, I can honestly say that you shouldn't have any trouble.
The mechanics take a bit to get used to, but they are similar to DS in terms of movement and dodging at the very least.
Most fans of Dark souls will enjoy Monster Hunter at least to some extent, and vice versa.
The main difference I'd mention would be the grinding, which isn't too repetitive at all given the depth of the combat, and is often really rewarding, but it IS there.
Armand Dell-Yaxley I like the difficulty of the games and I have 3U, but is it true that Gen Ultimate’s art moves make the game a lot easier?
Does it have water monsters? xD i relly miss those
Yep bro..and alot like plethiot and those rank G ,
water monsters but no water
I'm going to be honest......i preferred the numerous psp releases, Monster hunter world (I have a ps4) is hampered by the story. You are stuck in small regions of the island till you complete bits of the story mode. I have purchased a switch JUST to play this game. The lack of the story is much more appealing to me. It makes the game more pick-up and go while I really get cheese off having to complete bits of a story which I really don't give a toss about.
Monster hunter generations ultimate is bigger then monster hunter rise
This style of monster hunter is alot better than world in my opinion
What do you like about it better than world? The fighting mechanics?(stuff like not moving while taking a potion, but it's instant).
I personally don't like how long it takes to gather stuff and the fact that multiplayer missions are separated and can't be done solo. Unless you want to fight the monster solo, but it will have multiplayer HP regardless. that's my biggest gripe with it.
I also never even touched ranged weapons in 3U, 4U or Generations because you needed a separate armor set specifically for it.
Ade07 that is true but you can still solo multiplayer missions but its just alot harder ive seen people solo g rank. But I like the clunkier controls bc it forces me to think about my next attack. World just made me feel like I had to just hit the monster to win. Gathering does take longer but you can craft armor in those games that help you gather faster or if you crouch new an item and then gather it help you gather a little bit faster. Plus I wasnt as invested into world bc it was too easy. It didnt feel as rewarding as previous games.
I see. World felt like it had just the right amount of difficulty for me. I'm looking forward to trying out MHGU though(as soon as I buy a switch). I'd buy it in a heart beat if it was multi-platform.
Ade07 same here
That's a nice joke... world is elegant and beautiful, as long as I have a switch and a ps4 pro I can enjoy both... still world is the best and I don't think I can return to the older version of ps1 graphics lol
I have one critical question: can you skip the cutscenes?!
Yes
Anyone who just got the game? I’ve had it but haven’t played more than the first mission. I wanna get back in, could use a gang to play with
I’ve played for about 60 hours but in a game like this that’s basically just starting. I could help you out with some of the beginning quests since I know my way around these games if you’d like.
Makes me sad how stripped Rise feels in comparison to this and even World...
Keep the "rambly thoughts" coming in all your reviews.
And I'm a noob to this amazing game!
I know MHW is awesome and I try to play it but I just can't. Maybe if I play this one, it'll help me get more into MHW.
my first monster hunter had to be world and then I jump into this one and it was really hard to get use to it. don't get me wrong its fun but if your playing solo its pretty boring this game is meant for online play so if you don't have friends I wouldn't buy it cuz its pretty boring and the quest are sometimes just long and not fun at all. but if you got a group or a least someone else with a switch and with this game then yeah this is a must have IF IFFFFF you have someone who enjoy this type of games. I got 2 brothers who plays with me and its hella fun but when I try it alone its meh... anyhow as in for now in Canada its on deal which is 30$ and I still have a hard time to buy it since im alone now. my brothers play more world then the switch version. I {sold} mine for some other reason kinda regret it but if I were to buy it again? meh idk
You did something fucking we could have been playing it together online ..from New bruns-wick
I hope Filip doesn't steal this review.
in switch can we play online with friend?
Yes
Now I need this on steam to me this is way better than world n rise. I love using the palace tank lol op as sht
does anyone if you can play this split screen? (2 players on one switch)
Yes, you can't
Now that the game is on sale I am gonna buy and play this game. I am sure I’ll like it.
I like the rambling. It's currently on offer in the eshop so I think I'm going to buy it. This will be my first ever monster hunter game so wish me luck.
if you need help on online multiplayer, I can help you bud
@@cjanoel thank you. I'm currently getting to grips with all the training missions and recently acquired 3 of those cat things.
@@enthrallingusername awesome its best if you figure out the basics all hy yourself
also, just send here your Switch ID if you need any help or if you hit a wall.
yay, someone reviewing the game that can actually play it. ha ha.
