Monster hunter stories : N-No! My game has super difficult strategy combat! I swear! Monster hunter veteran : ..... I've never played it nor any turn based rpg so I can't confirm... But I'll take your word for it.... For now...
People don't know what Vanilla Tri Barroth was like. People don't know the horror of reaching HR31, fighting a Quirupeco, and hearing a "really weird roar", only to get bodied by an invasive monster who has more HP than the final boss.
People don't know the horror that was Freedom Unite's hitboxes. Nearly every monster gets it's Plesioth moment, but Plesioth is IN the game meaning it's even worse. And that's not even mentioning the crazy rough start my boi Tigrex had.
I remember hunting curupeco for hours on end, turns out i forgot to paintball the monster, i was eyeballing where he'd land after retreating, fun times
@@salmantorik6091 -feel you know how the monster reacts -do a hunt without paintball -monster leaves -pretty sure you know where it went -lose track of it for 20 minutes -find out that this ONE hunt it decided to vacation in canada for no reason than to waste your time
barroth was as far as I ever got in base Tri😂. I just gave up afterwards. 3U made the beginning of the game softer on you so I finally managed to truly get into it and get to G rank!
the hipcheck that spans a whole mile, the non existent nargacuga hit box, the worst whiffs in the business, egg transporting that takes years off of your life, slowest gathering ever, etc.
I’m playing through it for the first time with a friend, so far it’s extremely fun and super chill. Sure, Plesioth is a race against the timer since they spend ~30 minutes of the hunt swimming back and forth in the water, but I’m still enjoying the experience~
I started with "unite" Played "4 ultimate" then "Generation x" meanwhile also "world" in my opinion the best hunts was there (i don't want a fight it's my opinion) and now rise. I think in some kinds it's easier but in different Times it challenges you more.
I think the community now is pretty confused about what the difficulty of monster hunter truly is, back in the days the games were harder yes, but it wasn't really 100% for the design, more like for the limitations the consoles of the previous era faced, and now there is this weirdo fake elitism among the community about how some are the most hardened hunters (fall short easily when you meet them in game). I started with unite, will be my favorite monster hunter forever, but to say things like is higher quality or is a better title than the new ones because hard is bs (yes there are weirdos like that out there and you know it) , it truly make me sad how the things evolved in the community about toxicity and feel sorry for the developers who have done literally what we have been asking for only for us to throw dirt at them with world / rise, yes the games have flaws but is not nearly as bad as lot of people want to you to believe (Of course now I'm talking only about the ugly side of the comunity Im aware the franchise skyrocketed in popularity and the majority of people just enjoy the games ad it should be, just needed to get this thing out I've been through a lot of people like these recently).
@@fardgarde4104 I was just at one of the few mom and pop video stores, saw a game called monster hunter, thought “huh simple but interesting title”, decided to rent it cause I was bored, fell in love with the series.
Personally I like that I no longer need to make bug nets or mining picks, but I sincerely wish they'd bring back underwater combat. An entire category of monsters off the table, just because we can't go scuba-dying!
I'm trying to decipher if you actually mean "Scuba-diving" or if you were making a legitimately funny joke. So take this comment and this like, and have a nice day.
I managed to solo every G rank quest in Unite when I was a little kid. Looking back on it, I have no idea how. I've tried going back and playing it now and it's pure torture and masochism lol.
Tri: Whetstones were finite, carry a pickaxe and bug net as tools which broke, paintball monsters to track them, fight bosses underwater. The wildest of times, the best of times. I'll never forget logging online to fight Jehn Mohran on a ship in the desert.

@@marcthomas5949 nothing better than sharpening my blade and raging brach decides to falcon punch me from a cross the map Those monsters have no fuckin chill lol
As a hardcore veteran from back in MH: Freedom for the the PSP, someone who had to fight monsters with only pitfall traps and sonic bombs. Someone who had to lure diablos/Monoblos into walls just to break horns easier and fighting monsters took a good portion of the hunt time solo. Not only is this 100% true, but I bob along to the dango song and am unafraid to admit it. Fight me. (Great video, I about died laughing. Best thing I accidentally discovered)
Good old days when you had to spend 2/3rds of your backpack space for preparations and had to juggle materials. Thank fuck we dont need to craft picks anymore
I retro-played freedom 1 back in 2012, to this day and after having played all games (beside frontier, dos, mh-online and ps2 mh1 on multi) i can say that one was the hardest i've played. The farm addition compared to mh1 dosent make up for the much higher damage monsters do instead compared to at least mh1 offline; of course its possible that online mh1 was worse but having not played it i cannot tell.
Only freedom unite could be the one in charge. I finally understand what our parents meant when they said they had to walk 15 miles to pre school in golf ball sized hail at 3am. That's what playing Freedom unite was.
What kind of parent sends their child alone to pre-school (as in, they're 4ish years old) at 3am in a hailstorm for 15 miles? Alone? No wonder there's an abundance of bitterness in some members of older generations, Jesus Christ. There's challenging a kid to promote genuine growth, and then there's abuse.
I feel you I start with MH Freedom, the predecessor to Unite, basically the first MH game ported to PSP back in 06. I absolutley fell in love with it, mained GS before it even had a charge attack it was just a Beeg sword😂. Would definitley struggle going back to that now after sinking 1000s of hours into MHW and Rise, i love both but prefer Rise too
@@gokuformanvsfoodI think Freedom came out in 2005 or else I’m going insane remembering playing it in class in grade 7. Good times. I miss waving to the balloon person 😔
@@lubbo5261 it is not easy by any means I can go from dark souls to doing g rank quests in the old games but I can only make it to phase 3 of fatalis in world. I had to team up with a friend to do him lol Also I think rise rathalos is harder than silver rathalos in at least world and generations
might not have been a really old player like freedom unite but I'm glad to have hopped on the monster hunter train during the tri days. such good times I might be crazy for actually missing underwater combat.
And then there the first MH game veteran like me who's vibing and having fun through all of the MH games because we couldn't careless about anything because we've seen worse lol
As someone who played the Freedom Unite on PSP back in the day, moved with the 3DS and was enthusiastic about World, I have to admit: World had a lot of mechanics that made the game a lot easier than their counterparts. Still, I like the maps of World because they are so freaking big and complex I get lost like a moron, and for some reason, I like that!
Yeah I started with FU too, I played every games since then (even the two stories opus). And yeah the games are easier now but in a good way. World brought so much QoL improvements, and Rise/Sunbreak brought even more. Now MH is much easier but still extremly technical and fun. Sure you cart less, but at least you don't cart for BS reasons anymore, and you can get back in action faster with all the traversals mechanics. Even as a old school player I like that the game is much more streamlined.
@@sludgewave4786 half the reason is because the games are running on newer engines and better hardware so they arent limited by what was used for older MH games. Somehow it still shocks people that newer games arent designed like or play like early to mid 2000s games (and the fact that having thousands of hours in the other titles makes playing subsequent ones easier lol)
@@Orapac4142 For sure, no more limitations. Plus gamedesign evolved with time. Especially ARPG evolved a lot lately. Streamlining their mechanic. We will not see a newer A-RPG using the analog stick to attack, like it was in the first MH.
Had a lot of fun with my PSP back then, Monster Hunter was so much fun and God Eater as well was great. PSP is a gem of a console, I wouldn't blame people playing the portable even to this day
Love the fact that "healing while moving" is soft when half the mfs who played the older games just ran to another zone to heal lol. All the games are fine I played 4 a bit when I was younger but World was really good (minus the cutscenes/story). I hope Wilds has a more World like combat design cause the wirebug just felt like clutchclaw on crack.
I grew up with freedom unite starting around the age of eight. Took a break from mh until World came out. The difficulty levels between the two games is astronomical. I completely get this reference to people like my friends who just started on rise after I introduced them to Generations Ultimate 🤣
Been playing since the first game on PS2, and it's funny how every generation people pretend the new hunters are babies because the games are easier. Of course they're easier, Capcom keeps making them less clunky. Ya'll wanna go back to the days of controlling your weapon with the right stick and green sharpness being the max?
I remember playing monster hunter 3rd for PSP just looking at monster and running away and my first favorite monster was the qurupeco because it's neck becomes large like on god i just run when i here that intense " ! " sound
I remember the first time i played Freedom Unite i thought it was on average difficulty. 10+ years later I breezed through both Sunbreak & Iceborne, and when i tried going back to FU somehow I feel like i had a much harder time beating. I realized I got spoiled too much by good hitbox and mobility.
Started with Freedom and Tri. This is accurate. Although Rise is fun as all heck. Love zooming around and feeling like an anime character. Making the game faster was a great decision imo.
Nah game is speedrun mode. Needs to return to on the ground travel. Tracking and Hunting utilizing tons of tools for strategy and approach. Rise should be the final game of its kind. Every wep feels like IG/LS.
You know at this point i rather have a Second MH Frontier because, man they do not need to limit themselves with Frontier. Can you imagine a Hunter Style with Silkbind Skill and you know the Ability to RUN? that's fast, and fun, makes me felt like playing Devil May Cry but it's Monster Hunter instead.
I started on tri but honestly its a really wierd mh game. A bit like dos theres a lot of quirky stuff. I mean I love it but it is awkward. Like what other monster hunter game has a medium bowgun.
I’m so sad I never gave monster hunter a go when I was a little kid, I missed out on so much. Started around 2019 in world and it was the best decision in my gaming career to buy it.
At first I thought the real punchline gonna be MH Riders, since it was objectively the only bad MH game in the entire franchise, and everyone would shit over it no problem, but guess this works too lol. Also Riders & Rise got same initial. So it's interesting how in the last year, the fans hates MHR, now jump to 2021, and everyone loves MHR.
They can call it a baby game, but the switch skills and scrolls allowing for a much more complex move set for each weapon made for incredible gameplay. It's not our fault the monsters simply couldn't keep up with the power creep they have to the players. That's why Rise's end game I just leveling the monsters up to the point where they one shot you.
As a veteran hunter whos played everything and beat everything since Freedom Unite (that deserves Veteran Hunter at least?) The Rise silly kawaii cooking song I vibe too... 🤘 It does sadden me a little that the charming quirky things in MH are slowly disappearing...
A veteran here and ive been playing since the first game (2004) Whyall the hate against RISE/Sunbreak? It has good combat, good new monsters, maps from old games, a wide arsenal of weapons, armor and skills.
I was introduced to the series much later, in World, but it was Rise that really got me addicted. I watch videos from the previous ones, and yeah, I totally get it. You guys had it hard, you were legends! And thank god the game is much easier now, lmao 😂
@RonaKurona a bit more monotonous and clunkier due to hardware and engine limitations. People acting shocked that the games handling evolved passed clicking right stick to attack.
While I enjoyed World and Iceborn, they did my boy Alatreon kinda dirty by making him a damage check hunt, tho nothing will ever hurt more than the underwater combat of 3 Tri. Man, that was pain. And Rise is actually fun tbh.
I welcome the majority of the quality of life changes. I don’t even mind the games getting easier. I just really miss the old lobby systems that encouraged people to stay in groups and take turns doing each other’s quests. People actually chatted with each other back in the day. We made so many friends. Nowadays, with the drop-in drop-out joining mechanic, it’s all about getting the items you need as fast as possible. No one sticks around anymore. No one does a quest they don’t need in order to help a lobby mate. No one talks. Even though there’s always people around, you feel alone. I’ll always hold those memories of making friends on MH1 and TriU as some of my best experiences in gaming.
I recently went back to iceborne to finish getting some kulve weapons for IG and then maybe beating the final released monsters (- Safi) But before iceborne released, I enjoyed just helping out other players when they were just getting started, but I do agree with the people don't talk as much thing even if I started out in World
@@cardnal44 I imagine it’s hard to give a proper picture of how things used to be. I mainly played the console releases, so MH1, Tri, TriU, World, Rise. My buddy says the portable releases weren’t as friendly. That being said though, some days I’d literally be in a single lobby for 10 hours, mostly with the same friends I’d met on that very game. We’d even stop to take lunch and such while just afk together, come back and start questing again. My friends list was so full I had to “appear offline” some nights just to be left alone when I was feeling anti-social. I met friends that would carry over to other games too. Since playing Worlds and Rise, I haven’t met a single new friend in game that I’d group up to play with more than a few times. All my play groups were either personal friends from outside the game or randoms. I know there’s a lot of factors, like I don’t have the time I used to when I was a kid anymore, I’m older, more tired, but it was just such a different atmosphere in the old lobby system. I wish you could’ve experienced it.
I can wholeheartedly agree. I am still doing it like the old days. Opening a lobby, do my hunts, waiting for people to join. But ever since we got the S.O.S. system, communication has...died. This feeling of getting aquainted with completely new people, chatting and learning from another is completely gone. That was what made my experiences in Tri and 3U when so unique. I had yet to find a game that gave me that same experience and I can't say I did. I love World and Rise. They both do very well and are a lot of fun. But I miss this the interactions with my fellow hunters.
I started with mh on ps2 since ps2 was like a gold mine when it comes to games that’s where I started and been playing whatever entry I could get my hands on ever since but those who are able to play a game like monster hunter on DS is a different breed
>Freedom unite for ios deep cut mmmhmmm Side note: I’m surprised Peace walker wasn’t in there considering it had a control style that’s lifted from the psp games…but then again if we included a minor _cameo_ any old one will do, we’d be here all day
Honestly I prefer the MHW ones there was a lot of personality between the 2 chefs and it was always a pretty good bop (mostly cuz you got brainwashed by it after the 1 millionth time hearing it)
I played mhfu, mh (only a bit), mh3rd, mhw and iceborn. The best is the last 2. The hardest is mhfu, but it was good, played when i was a child. The hitbox are very bad (mhfu) and get too high damage from monsters. Literally weeks for beat some monsters... A game need to be balanced, not too easy not too hard. I'm waiting for next mh on pc. Not rise, it is for switch, the pc version is the same, i want another better than mhw, only for pc and console.
Because world changed quite a bit of things that people who played the games before it didn’t really care for. So for older players, it and Rise tend to be the punching bags
@@catsorafgc the first one shouldn't be a problem at all, especially since the game still has its fair share of challenge. Cutscenes are what they are. Weapon design problems has already been explained it's tied to the new engine and the need of time for modeling them. And to be honest, being a weapon collector we're pretty far from 90%.
World is the 2nd game I've played and I have to say I honestly don't feel like this is accurate..... considering I uninstalled rise after hearing that song for 3 times....what bigged me most wasn't the song IT WAS THE FACT THAT ALL THEY FED ME WAS SWEETS!!!! WTF IS MY MEAT!!!!
Ok I'm man enough to admit that I enjoyed SunRise may more than I did Worldborne. This is coming from a hunter from 2nd gen monhun, but rise felt more like classic monhun while world was different. I didn't hate world but it was way to different from classic monhun.
They fear Unite not because of his muscles and intimidating demeanor, but because no matter where they stand they're all inside his hitbox.
That sounds like it'd have its own domain expansion
Hipcheck ptsd
Accurate asf
The worse is that after some time playing, you see the invisible hitboxes with your trained eyes
Stupid big fish

As a newcomer from World, this is accurate
As a hardcore veteran from back in MH: Freedom for the the PSP, someone who had to fight monsters with only pitfall traps and sonic bombs. Someone who had to lure diablos/Monoblos into walls just to break horns easier and fighting monsters took a good portion of the hunt time solo.
Not only is this 100% true, but I bob along to the dango song and am unafraid to admit it. Fight me. (Great video, I about died laughing. Best thing I accidentally discovered)
I won t sing but i salute you my freedom1 brethen
Good old days when you had to spend 2/3rds of your backpack space for preparations and had to juggle materials.
Thank fuck we dont need to craft picks anymore
I retro-played freedom 1 back in 2012, to this day and after having played all games (beside frontier, dos, mh-online and ps2 mh1 on multi) i can say that one was the hardest i've played.
The farm addition compared to mh1 dosent make up for the much higher damage monsters do instead compared to at least mh1 offline; of course its possible that online mh1 was worse but having not played it i cannot tell.
I played Freedom 2, but can't remember this song. Where did it play?
@@heinz5119 its the Momogi chef song (canteen theme) and its is very iconic of monster hunter rise specifically.
Only freedom unite could be the one in charge. I finally understand what our parents meant when they said they had to walk 15 miles to pre school in golf ball sized hail at 3am. That's what playing Freedom unite was.
What kind of parent sends their child alone to pre-school (as in, they're 4ish years old) at 3am in a hailstorm for 15 miles? Alone? No wonder there's an abundance of bitterness in some members of older generations, Jesus Christ. There's challenging a kid to promote genuine growth, and then there's abuse.
FU babies don't know the pain of having to use the right stick for combat that MH1 and MH2 stans know
This is spot on and I am very glad to be in Rise gang! I started at Freedom Unite on PSP back in the day. I can't imagine going back ngl..
I feel you I start with MH Freedom, the predecessor to Unite, basically the first MH game ported to PSP back in 06. I absolutley fell in love with it, mained GS before it even had a charge attack it was just a Beeg sword😂. Would definitley struggle going back to that now after sinking 1000s of hours into MHW and Rise, i love both but prefer Rise too
@@gokuformanvsfoodI think Freedom came out in 2005 or else I’m going insane remembering playing it in class in grade 7.
Good times. I miss waving to the balloon person 😔
And the song to rat out old players is the Well-done steak song. So tasty!
I get the joke that mh world is indeed different from the rest mh games due to no village quest
Its more about that World/Iceborne is an really easy Monster Hunter game
@@lubbo5261 it is not easy by any means I can go from dark souls to doing g rank quests in the old games but I can only make it to phase 3 of fatalis in world.
I had to team up with a friend to do him lol
Also I think rise rathalos is harder than silver rathalos in at least world and generations
@@austinwilson5341 one difficult monster dosn't make a game hard.
Practice Fatalis and a normal player can finish him in 15-20 minutes. He isn't that bad.
@@General_C damn if I havent even made it to the normal players level yet then I suck ass alatreon is the best I can do
I haven't bursted out laughing that hard in a long time
might not have been a really old player like freedom unite
but I'm glad to have hopped on the monster hunter train during the tri days.
such good times
I might be crazy for actually missing underwater combat.
And then there the first MH game veteran like me who's vibing and having fun through all of the MH games because we couldn't careless about anything because we've seen worse lol
this right here
When you reached in unite the final village quest and think you are the strongest you haven't seen hell i only say Akantor
I actually liked monster hunter world and ice borne and I played monhun since psp days
You people terrify me. The tilt controls. Dear God, the tilt controls.
@@johndelanie3649 meh was ok
1:17 ah, i was wondering were those two were..
As a veteran hunter, thanks for the video!
I needed to see this.
As someone who played the Freedom Unite on PSP back in the day, moved with the 3DS and was enthusiastic about World, I have to admit: World had a lot of mechanics that made the game a lot easier than their counterparts.
Still, I like the maps of World because they are so freaking big and complex I get lost like a moron, and for some reason, I like that!
Yeah I started with FU too, I played every games since then (even the two stories opus).
And yeah the games are easier now but in a good way. World brought so much QoL improvements, and Rise/Sunbreak brought even more. Now MH is much easier but still extremly technical and fun. Sure you cart less, but at least you don't cart for BS reasons anymore, and you can get back in action faster with all the traversals mechanics. Even as a old school player I like that the game is much more streamlined.
Immersion.
@@sludgewave4786 half the reason is because the games are running on newer engines and better hardware so they arent limited by what was used for older MH games. Somehow it still shocks people that newer games arent designed like or play like early to mid 2000s games (and the fact that having thousands of hours in the other titles makes playing subsequent ones easier lol)
@@Orapac4142
For sure, no more limitations. Plus gamedesign evolved with time. Especially ARPG evolved a lot lately. Streamlining their mechanic. We will not see a newer A-RPG using the analog stick to attack, like it was in the first MH.
Had a lot of fun with my PSP back then, Monster Hunter was so much fun and God Eater as well was great. PSP is a gem of a console, I wouldn't blame people playing the portable even to this day
00:20 ha! jokes on you! i skip this cutscene every single time, the song annoys me
Love the fact that "healing while moving" is soft when half the mfs who played the older games just ran to another zone to heal lol.
All the games are fine I played 4 a bit when I was younger but World was really good (minus the cutscenes/story). I hope Wilds has a more World like combat design cause the wirebug just felt like clutchclaw on crack.
if you play a monster hunter game for more than 20 minutes you learn there are healing windows after monster attacks, if you were dipping thats on you
^^^ preach!
Lmao so true, me and a friend use to run out and buff up then go back in lol😊
I grew up with freedom unite starting around the age of eight. Took a break from mh until World came out. The difficulty levels between the two games is astronomical. I completely get this reference to people like my friends who just started on rise after I introduced them to Generations Ultimate 🤣
This is too accurate on so many levels. 😂
“You have no idea, what I have seen,” said Galadriel; she'd reached G-Rank in Freedom Unite before. “You have no idea, I have seen!”
I’m super new to MH anf have been playing Rise. I’m loving the series so far and can’t wait for Wilds
Been playing since the first game on PS2, and it's funny how every generation people pretend the new hunters are babies because the games are easier. Of course they're easier, Capcom keeps making them less clunky. Ya'll wanna go back to the days of controlling your weapon with the right stick and green sharpness being the max?
YES
Man, they don’t even know about having an Ethernet running to a ps2 and a plug in keyboard to communicate.
The og monster hunter was good times.
I remember playing monster hunter 3rd for PSP just looking at monster and running away and my first favorite monster was the qurupeco because it's neck becomes large like on god i just run when i here that intense " ! " sound
You forgot the best part, hes the only monster to backeth the mandem
I remember the first time i played Freedom Unite i thought it was on average difficulty. 10+ years later I breezed through both Sunbreak & Iceborne, and when i tried going back to FU somehow I feel like i had a much harder time beating. I realized I got spoiled too much by good hitbox and mobility.
This is Beautiful and I remember really liking Stories so am happy they didn't get beaten up before they got the glow up
Started with Freedom and Tri. This is accurate.
Although Rise is fun as all heck. Love zooming around and feeling like an anime character.
Making the game faster was a great decision imo.
Nah game is speedrun mode. Needs to return to on the ground travel. Tracking and Hunting utilizing tons of tools for strategy and approach. Rise should be the final game of its kind. Every wep feels like IG/LS.
You know at this point i rather have a Second MH Frontier because, man they do not need to limit themselves with Frontier.
Can you imagine a Hunter Style with Silkbind Skill and you know the Ability to RUN? that's fast, and fun, makes me felt like playing Devil May Cry but it's Monster Hunter instead.
Started from 3U on 3ds and 4U is my favorite in the series. Portable 3rd is pretty great and I've been wanting to try tri.
I started on tri but honestly its a really wierd mh game. A bit like dos theres a lot of quirky stuff. I mean I love it but it is awkward. Like what other monster hunter game has a medium bowgun.
I’m so sad I never gave monster hunter a go when I was a little kid, I missed out on so much. Started around 2019 in world and it was the best decision in my gaming career to buy it.
A true man will sing this song on the way to fight Duremudira.
Yo, this shit is funny af.
At first I thought the real punchline gonna be MH Riders, since it was objectively the only bad MH game in the entire franchise, and everyone would shit over it no problem, but guess this works too lol.
Also Riders & Rise got same initial. So it's interesting how in the last year, the fans hates MHR, now jump to 2021, and everyone loves MHR.
I stared with Freedom United, then moved to MHGenerations, to MHW & Iceborne and now a friend made me get Rise
As a Freedom Unite enjoyer this is highly accurate
This is awesome! LOL Gave me a good laugh! The Bunny Dango Song made me love Rise even more. Tbh, the steak song is pretty catchy too!
They can call it a baby game, but the switch skills and scrolls allowing for a much more complex move set for each weapon made for incredible gameplay. It's not our fault the monsters simply couldn't keep up with the power creep they have to the players. That's why Rise's end game I just leveling the monsters up to the point where they one shot you.
You could litterally just say “Plesioth’s hip check” and the ones not cowering or crying are newer gen players XD
As a veteran hunter whos played everything and beat everything since Freedom Unite (that deserves Veteran Hunter at least?) The Rise silly kawaii cooking song I vibe too... 🤘
It does sadden me a little that the charming quirky things in MH are slowly disappearing...
Should‘ve given them a drink and asked them to drink while walking 😎
That's a new trick sir.
A veteran here and ive been playing since the first game (2004)
Whyall the hate against RISE/Sunbreak?
It has good combat, good new monsters, maps from old games, a wide arsenal of weapons, armor and skills.
True men know that all of them are good
I love MHWorld, I feel offended, yet understood it fully. (Played since MH3)
We Tri hunters had it rough in the waters lol
FLUFFY BUNNY DANGO WHAT A TASTY TREAT!!! (Places hand on mouth!!)
I remember my first roadblocks. Had to sharpen my teeth on Qurupecos. Good shit.
This clip is perfect because Rise players are the only ones who know how to have fun in a room full miserable people.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE detail at FU squinting at FU for iOS lmaoo
Called it, they were gonna go after world and iceborne XD XD
I’m so glad I downloaded a MH demo on my psp back in the day. Best introduction to the series
As a portable 3rd hunter.... Y E S
Goddammit! I knew what the punchline was going to be when my game didn't show up.
All monster hunter game are fun to me imo
True, but for different reasons. The old games did do some things better than the newer ones.
Except the first one
what about when it was the only monster hunter game? it was definitely the most fun then
@@davidopitz972 literally zero competition doesn't exactly mean it's good
You say this now, but the moment a rajang gets a hold of a great wire bug, you will be singing a different toon.
As someone who came in around the time Generations came out, I would still sing the song and never skip it.
I like that Tri is the cool looking fish with his face covered
I was introduced to the series much later, in World, but it was Rise that really got me addicted. I watch videos from the previous ones, and yeah, I totally get it. You guys had it hard, you were legends! And thank god the game is much easier now, lmao 😂
Honestly, it wasn't even that hard back then, it was just monotonous
@RonaKurona a bit more monotonous and clunkier due to hardware and engine limitations. People acting shocked that the games handling evolved passed clicking right stick to attack.
As a new hunter who started on rise and went back to world this got me cracking up 😂😂😂
While I enjoyed World and Iceborn, they did my boy Alatreon kinda dirty by making him a damage check hunt, tho nothing will ever hurt more than the underwater combat of 3 Tri. Man, that was pain. And Rise is actually fun tbh.
No for real the pre World games were hustling built different. Remeber when we had loading screens between areas?
I welcome the majority of the quality of life changes. I don’t even mind the games getting easier.
I just really miss the old lobby systems that encouraged people to stay in groups and take turns doing each other’s quests. People actually chatted with each other back in the day. We made so many friends.
Nowadays, with the drop-in drop-out joining mechanic, it’s all about getting the items you need as fast as possible. No one sticks around anymore. No one does a quest they don’t need in order to help a lobby mate. No one talks. Even though there’s always people around, you feel alone.
I’ll always hold those memories of making friends on MH1 and TriU as some of my best experiences in gaming.
I recently went back to iceborne to finish getting some kulve weapons for IG and then maybe beating the final released monsters (- Safi)
But before iceborne released, I enjoyed just helping out other players when they were just getting started, but I do agree with the people don't talk as much thing even if I started out in World
@@cardnal44 I imagine it’s hard to give a proper picture of how things used to be. I mainly played the console releases, so MH1, Tri, TriU, World, Rise. My buddy says the portable releases weren’t as friendly.
That being said though, some days I’d literally be in a single lobby for 10 hours, mostly with the same friends I’d met on that very game. We’d even stop to take lunch and such while just afk together, come back and start questing again. My friends list was so full I had to “appear offline” some nights just to be left alone when I was feeling anti-social. I met friends that would carry over to other games too.
Since playing Worlds and Rise, I haven’t met a single new friend in game that I’d group up to play with more than a few times. All my play groups were either personal friends from outside the game or randoms.
I know there’s a lot of factors, like I don’t have the time I used to when I was a kid anymore, I’m older, more tired, but it was just such a different atmosphere in the old lobby system. I wish you could’ve experienced it.
I can wholeheartedly agree. I am still doing it like the old days. Opening a lobby, do my hunts, waiting for people to join. But ever since we got the S.O.S. system, communication has...died.
This feeling of getting aquainted with completely new people, chatting and learning from another is completely gone. That was what made my experiences in Tri and 3U when so unique. I had yet to find a game that gave me that same experience and I can't say I did. I love World and Rise. They both do very well and are a lot of fun. But I miss this the interactions with my fellow hunters.
Most of those so called changes aren’t quality of life.

I love Monster Hunter stories 2 and 1
I started with mh on ps2 since ps2 was like a gold mine when it comes to games that’s where I started and been playing whatever entry I could get my hands on ever since but those who are able to play a game like monster hunter on DS is a different breed
0:41 stories 2 isn’t for baby’s not if the blited nargacuga has anything to say about it
As a Stories fan, I can confirm we are the first to be suspected.
>Freedom unite for ios
deep cut mmmhmmm
Side note: I’m surprised Peace walker wasn’t in there considering it had a control style that’s lifted from the psp games…but then again if we included a minor _cameo_ any old one will do, we’d be here all day
Smash Ultimate is my favorite MH game.
Respect to all the veteran MH warriors I came in Rise and not gonna lie when the song came on I folded 🥲
Honestly I prefer the MHW ones there was a lot of personality between the 2 chefs and it was always a pretty good bop (mostly cuz you got brainwashed by it after the 1 millionth time hearing it)
Yeah the big burly cat and the sweet old lady cat they were rly cool. I also really like the Dango cat ninja team. But GenU had fondue!
I played mhfu, mh (only a bit), mh3rd, mhw and iceborn. The best is the last 2. The hardest is mhfu, but it was good, played when i was a child. The hitbox are very bad (mhfu) and get too high damage from monsters. Literally weeks for beat some monsters... A game need to be balanced, not too easy not too hard. I'm waiting for next mh on pc. Not rise, it is for switch, the pc version is the same, i want another better than mhw, only for pc and console.
@@machekazzo Boy do I have news for you...
@@ProcyonDei i know
I was wondering where world was. Nothing can stop us... I'm all the way up!
Why did you have to do World and Iceborne like that?! 🤣
From player of generation ultimate and rise, that all right!!! (Sing dango theme in my head)
It's about time we got teenager version where we ride monsters 1:45
You will NOT slander monster riding like this
Bro im a classic monster hunter and icebourne player whos been practically living under a rock. So i have zero clue whas going on lol😅.
Why this fanbase needs to pick on World? It's not even funny how I waited 12 years to get Monster Hunter back without being forced to buy a Nintendo.
Because world changed quite a bit of things that people who played the games before it didn’t really care for. So for older players, it and Rise tend to be the punching bags
@@catsorafgc it just improved Quality of Life things that shouldn't be an issue in a 2018 game.
@@thediamondcutter9185 Making things much easier, shoving unskippable cutscenes, and 90% of weapons being fur/feathers on bone/iron isn’t QoL.
@@catsorafgc the first one shouldn't be a problem at all, especially since the game still has its fair share of challenge.
Cutscenes are what they are.
Weapon design problems has already been explained it's tied to the new engine and the need of time for modeling them.
And to be honest, being a weapon collector we're pretty far from 90%.
@@catsorafgc World's problems (such as clutch claw) will never compare to what wirebugs did to the franchise.

As a worlds fan and player, I feel offended by this.
you should be but can't say it isn't accurate xD
World is the 2nd game I've played and I have to say I honestly don't feel like this is accurate..... considering I uninstalled rise after hearing that song for 3 times....what bigged me most wasn't the song IT WAS THE FACT THAT ALL THEY FED ME WAS SWEETS!!!!
WTF IS MY MEAT!!!!
Good
Ok I'm man enough to admit that I enjoyed SunRise may more than I did Worldborne. This is coming from a hunter from 2nd gen monhun, but rise felt more like classic monhun while world was different. I didn't hate world but it was way to different from classic monhun.
I agree
sigh saw the punchline a mile away
