Most definitely not my friend. Although Tri has it's flaws, it'll always have a special place in my heart. (Mainly because it was the game that started it all for me)
Noooo GU and 4U are soooo good. I'd love to see a remaster of them with overhauled graphics. Just high res textures and high poly meshes, the mechanics can stay the same. I got so used to adept CB that I cannot play it in MHW anymore bc I always try to adept block and dodge without any success XD
I started playing MH 4U last month and I thought the online was going to be dead but I was gladly mistaking even tho some high ranks player don't stay to help the low rank players lol
@@jjtails even today am still playing it. dont be sad my friends. trust me there still have alot of hunter that always glad to help everyone. (normally am love to help than farming lol sry for bad English too. )
I started this game before I got rise. I got rise beat it, there's practically nothing left to do. And I've spent 20 more hours in mhgu than rise and I'm still not even sure if I'm close to beating gu this game is huge I love it.

GU was my first monster hunter game, honestly my favorite one since. I mainly miss the styles and hunter arts. They offered such a wide variety of play styles.
@@drftr6073 Yeah, once I reached the endgame for world I really missed the styles. In GU, if I got bored running valor gs I could go switch styles and weapons/armor. World isn't boring but I miss being able to switch my playing style on a whim
@@bailymcfadden9971 yeah. it changed how so many weapons played to the point that they would become totally different weapons. I played way less weapon types in previous games but gu felt fresh for hundreds of hours just with the switching of styles. i only played gs and charge blade for the longest time. gs styles are so good. aerial, valor, adept, striker all gave you a totally new weapon and it was so freaking fun to switch back and forth. i switched for ls and sns a few times but that was about it. In world, i played with everything except for the bowguns and hh and i have to say i was nowhere near as excited at any given point by the gameplay of my weapons.
@@drftr6073 Agreed. I started out with valor ls. Threw on Unhinged Spirit, counters for days. Adept cb and lbg were some of the most fun I've had. Loved that the pumped out dmg, offered a dodge, and provided utility for the team
Remember? I still actively play GU, I've dropped iceborne and am waiting for rise ultimate, so what do I do? Play GU again ofcoarse. I mean right now I been playing stories 2, but you can bet your butt I'm still this from time to time. Edit: I'm getting the feeling parts of the mh fanbase don't know what an ultimate version actually is. Well to mitigate the confusion a little (I hope) when people like me say ultimate version, we mean that rise or any future mh game, gets an expansion (dlc and physical) that gives us G/Master rank. Iceborne is by all technicalities, monster hunter world ultimate. The reason we are saying Rise ultimate is because we don't know what it will be called, it's also why some of use refer to the next monster hunter as mh6 and not world 2. Hopefully this can help mitigate some of the confusion about that stuff in the future. Tldr: can't wait for the rise G/master rank expansion, and im calling it rise ultimate til we know an actual name. And yes, iceborne is world ultimate. Edit 2: heck now that I think of it, if I am remembering correctly. If you had gone to the store and saw a physical copy of iceborne, it said master edition on the box itself. Aka ultimate version.
i doubt rise is getting an 'ultimate' version considering NOTHING at ALL is aligned for it, ffs i feel bad for it, but, if anything it'll be a large content addition like iceborn. As MH4U and 3U were literal remakes and or English translations and double cross was simply just like the other two, remakes.
@@John-ii6he dude, what do you think an ultimate expansion is? Iceborne IS an ultimate expansion. GU's G rank IS the ultimate expansion. 3U G rank technically IS the ultimate expansion. But I guess to keep it simple iceborne is the ultimate expansion all of us are talking about, 100% certain they will sell it as a dlc for those of us that already have it, and a separate game with both base game and the G rank update for those who don't have it yet. Or I guess master rank for those people who are currently only familiar with world. I mean I could go to the store and buy world then buy iceborne as a dlc or I can buy the physical copy of iceborne that also has base world in it. Point is when I say the rise ultimate expansion. I'm talking about the dlc that will add alot of new monsters, G/master rank, and hopefully a more complete endgame. Cuz rise right now certainly has way more than base world, base world just had that endgame loop most of the community Likes while rise has more monsters, but no end game loop like 3U.
@Red Cherry iceborne is world ultimate. When I say ultimate version I'm talking about the G rank expansion, how they release it doesn't matter, but I hope its a dlc like iceborne with a physical version too with a new box art if people want it. Just like when iceborne came out.
its just saying 'remembering', doesnt mean its unplayable or no one plays it. its just returning back to a once and or still loved game despite it being older than many other things in the series, world, stories two, and rise.
Ah yes back when you flexed like a chad after healing and buffs, and your health restore was instant too so it was incredibly hard to waste it and the giga chad ways to dodge attacks and the styles are awesome too
Don't get me wrong, I love the movement options & the quality of life changes you get in Rise. But... I miss the variety in monsters. I miss the variety in playstyles. I miss theory crafting armor. I know there's so much limitation, but, man, I miss the charm of it. & I say that as a GL main who gets flying GL now.
I miss a ton of the skills. They may not have been meta in any way, but I am not someone who plays meta and I liked making some unique sets which could help me with a monster I found tough. Sadly I find Rise really restrictive in this manner, not to mention I only needed to craft one low rank armor set for the entire village quest line, as it was so easy, which is pretty sad. I cant wait for RiseU though and hope it can fix my issues.
can you imagine what the next "generations" style game will be like if they ever do another one though? where they give G rank and all the variety possible PLUS quality of life stuff? GU is still my most played. I mainly dislike the way they kinda sorta added the deviants but not really. you get some of the cool stuff from the fight, but no gear, not even layered. Maybe in G rank
@@AceofSpades280 I really hate the deviants tbh. They are literally their own monster and to this day Dreadqueen and Cristalbeard are the ones that annoys me the most. And don't worry about rise, they are likely working on monster models(aka mostly leviathans) since alot of them couldn't adapt that well to world. Mizutsune is back so Lagiacrus fans could atleast dream their man will be back too.
@@kyreestandifer522 GU basically took from all other MHs to fill it tho tbh. I consider it the best hunting wise but I never consider if fair to compare to others because of that besides story ( since 4 usually wins there lol)
@@kyreestandifer522 Im aware. I wanted to point that more out because I have LEGIT seen some ppl compare it to recent titles for story and im like: ... what story? ( for GU)

I don't think this juggernaut of a game can be forgotten this soon. This is still the best one content-wise. Iceborne came close, but the classic MH gameplay remains undefeated. Part of what makes classic MH so unique is its gameplay limitations, and MHGU has the most polished version of that gameplay. Also, EX Deviant hunts make for perhaps the most satisfying endgame to complete. Having that crown next to your name really sets you apart. The overall sense of progression in this game is just great.
Best thing about monster hunter is that you’ll always find others playing every version of the game, from the first to the recent. But as of right now, most of the active servers are 4U-GU (I’m still certain 3U is still somewhat lively)
@@rudolfdirks9253 there is still a huge part playing MHFU/MHP2ndG, it was my first ever MH game back in 2008 and its together with 4U my favorite, not due to nostalgia, but due to its difficulty. I can say that since I recently replayed the entire game
Yeah. Energy blade seems to be a standard special attack for the charge blade. Especially considering that many special attacks were translated from GU to Rise in a wire bug form, perhaps some form of wire blade could be implemented.
If not mistaken. Capcom still have more wirebug move for the weapon. Maybe they will add more gu hunter arts in g/master rank expansion. Just hoping tho. Great channel. Subs for more content 👍
This was my first monster hunter game, definitely was a hell of a learning curve. I dropped it after 250 hours due to school reasons and I ended up getting Rise a few years later and played that instead. Came back to this after convincing a friend to pick it up too and its fun as hell. Aerial style rules and Insect Glaive is fun as hell. Might even learn Greatsword if I'm patient enough.
This video is a true love letter to the franchise and what amazing game this is and everyone who enjoy hunting a laser monkey or a soap racoon is a good man in my book I hope to see you in rise
My first Monster Hunter... After just around a year and a half, I finished the Deviants hunts and I'm still playing the thing. From the large variety of weapons to how many there is to do in it. This game's a true masterpiece.
@@magmadude_ dang whenever i played i never found one person either my language or my rank and if i got into a lobby they didnt help me worth shit. Ill have to pick up my 4U copy again.
I’m still playing it. Actually have a series on my channel focused solely on GU! I’m juggling ALL the current MH games right now. What a time to be a MH fan.
I remember every minute of my over 1700 hours in that game, I still love it... always will. I'm only at 1000 hours in Rise, so still a ways to go to hit 999. Thanks for this excellent video, made my day.
Me quede todo el video embobado y con una leve sonrisa Tanta nostalgia me trajo este video... De verdad, jamás había disfrutado tanto de un online coop como lo fue el de monster hunter GU, fue tanto así que Monster hunter world no me gustó mucho y terminé jugando GU nuevamente como por 3 años... Tal vez no sea el que mas perosnas tenga online, pero tiene una comunidad muy fiel y al final ya nos ubicabamos ya que siempre éramos los mismos jajaja De verdad, no puedo describir lo hermoso que fue GU en mi vida, ese recuerdo de Farmear toda la rathian maldita para hacerme su armadura, o farmeando me el nargacuga argenteo que fue una tarea super difícil y tediosa pero cuando pude tener todos los materiales para mejorar al máximo la ballesta ligera del argenteo se sintió tan satisfactorio Yo omití rise ya que preferí esperar a la versión de pc y al fin, después de casi 1 año, en enero al fin podre dedicar mis próximos 3 años a el Rise (?
Always nice to see that, especially MH4U and MHGU are SO much better than the latest adaptations of the game... the 4th gen was just a perfect balance between movement in MH style and fast gameplay, World and Rise just dont feel like MH anymore
GU was the perfect way to end the old world,as mhwi was the perfect way to end "the new world" and frontier z-zenith the best way to end frontier generations
*raises hand* I'm still playing!!!! I don't play as often as I used to, so my progress has been rather slow, but I'd rather have a game with more meat on its bones....
I love mhgu. I think it’s my most played my game ever. Even though I don’t think the hit boxes are quite as polished as mh4u, the hunter styles bring so much diversity to every weapon that there’s always SOMETHING new to try if you’re ever curious about learning it, even hundreds of hours in.
Uh, damn. You are intensely proficient and it's cracked. Also, I've literally never seen a boomerang used before, and to do so with such swag. I'll never be this cool, but at least I can watch someone who is.
I played world some years ago, finished and never touched it again, but tried GU on my 10 years old 3ds just to do some quests, and suddenly, I spent all the day playing, just magic
Overshadowed completely by worlds but still one of the greatest monster hunter games. Edit: I’m still on this game in the online lobbies. I actually prefer old gen to rise. Not a fan of the insane power creep that game has (not that this one doesn’t it’s just not nearly as much)
GU is something i always come back to. Its just got that amazing feel that seems to be lacking from world and especially from rise. The new mobility from rise was nice but it came at such a cost to the overall feel the game had. Plus prowler will always be a blast and i wish it stuck around because despite how strange it was i always enjoy it. Its such a different feel to the hunters themselves
The fact that you had a compilation of rathian and rathalos getting punished for they’re roars midair is awesome. I’m talking about the moments starting around 13:15
More like, i can't remember last time that i didn't play this game... Best Monster Hunter game for me just for the sheer unlimited replayability and playtime
While games like world and rise have brought a lot of fun new mechanics and made a lot of QoL improvements... I still sometimes miss little things like throwing paintballs at monsters, or the old monster's AI. Even outdated things like loading zones, or only having 10 mega potions for a hunt or heck, even cold and hot drinks, sometimes I miss it. Not to say the new is bad, but one can really feel the difference. What I ESPECIALLY miss, is the post-hunt goofing around... :')
As someone who's played 3 and 4 ultimate as well as rise, this game honestly scares me. The lack of telegraphing and the absolute necessity of that strange blue dodge lets me know that every monster is gonna fry all the muscle memory from my brain. One day I will buy and play this game on the switch
Gu is old mh through and through so I play it to chill on expeditions, really brings back the relaxing foraging side to mh that I feel is lacking in world. All in all I play gu for all the tough monsters then I play world for immersion even though I like gu expeditions more
@@Panzerschreck9 I find it very cool that you pretty much catalogued your experience and impression of the game both before and after you played it lol
going back to older MH games after rise feels like the combat and movement are slow 😂.. played hub in mhgu while waiting for rise 4.0 to come, i had to relearn the controls, and i always do the wirefall buttons 😅
I wish SnS had the Adept Guard along with the Adept Evade. Still, massive W of a game. I still play it on yuzu (eat my ass Nintendo) after dumping it onto my PC, along with a 60fps mod. One of the greatest games of all time.
At 8:26 I know the state that it's in right now, but I always immediately think of the question "IS IT DEAD OR IS IT FAKING?!" whenever I see its death animation :(
I like Gen ult is because 1 weapon can have 4 play styles which gives variety to the gameplay, let's say there's 4 of you but all of you have the same weapon each one of you can have different roles even with the same weapons with different move sets and hunter arts
I really love the upgrade system in mhgu, I dont know of it appears in the other games but I like how you can keep the same weapon but level up while keeping th same look. Cause as much as I love MHW and MHR, I dont like the fact my weapons design changes. I like my goofy ass bagpipe HH
Yeah. I like the basic look of the iron series and it's nice to level up the look of those weapons to G-rank besides also being able to branch off to new weapons.
Remembering? This shit is fire till this day
Yeah

Yeah. Energy blade seems to be a standard special attack for the charge blade. Especially considering that many special attacks were translated from GU to Rise in a wire bug form, perhaps some form of wire blade could be implemented.
It might happen like how the blast dash work for gunlance this might do too
If not mistaken.
Capcom still have more wirebug move for the weapon.
Maybe they will add more gu hunter arts in g/master rank expansion.
Just hoping tho.
Great channel.
Subs for more content 👍
Tomorrow we have gameplay reveal so we might get it as a wirebug move
I really wish in rise they will bring back adept dodge
It’s so fun dodging the monsters attacks
You can do it with dual blades in rise. And pratcally every weapon now has a parry/avoid silkbug skill
This was my first monster hunter game, definitely was a hell of a learning curve. I dropped it after 250 hours due to school reasons and I ended up getting Rise a few years later and played that instead. Came back to this after convincing a friend to pick it up too and its fun as hell. Aerial style rules and Insect Glaive is fun as hell. Might even learn Greatsword if I'm patient enough.
This video is a true love letter to the franchise and what amazing game this is and everyone who enjoy hunting a laser monkey or a soap racoon is a good man in my book I hope to see you in rise
My first Monster Hunter...
After just around a year and a half, I finished the Deviants hunts and I'm still playing the thing.
From the large variety of weapons to how many there is to do in it.
This game's a true masterpiece.
Have you played 4U?
@@noyaaaaa_ Yes, and it's current online player base made me hate it on top of the many other cracks I saw from the game itself while playing Solo.
@@zurtur272 lmao I remember randomy playing with french players... the classic Je suis monte
Still the best Monster Hunter game
With Rise only having High rank content for now, I'd say there is more people returning to games like 4U and GenU
people are playing 4U..? holy shit- thats, damn, i loved four ult, but never found people in it.
@@John-ii6he really? I went back to it the other day and there were 3 full pages of hubs still up and active
@@magmadude_ dang whenever i played i never found one person either my language or my rank and if i got into a lobby they didnt help me worth shit.
Ill have to pick up my 4U copy again.
I’m still playing it. Actually have a series on my channel focused solely on GU! I’m juggling ALL the current MH games right now. What a time to be a MH fan.
I remember every minute of my over 1700 hours in that game, I still love it... always will. I'm only at 1000 hours in Rise, so still a ways to go to hit 999. Thanks for this excellent video, made my day.
1000+ hours in rise and GU? Respect.
Had 1300 hrs in 4u
Green haired swordsman… kinda reminds me of some moss head
I always plays as a prowler 🙌🏼 on MHGU
Me quede todo el video embobado y con una leve sonrisa
Tanta nostalgia me trajo este video... De verdad, jamás había disfrutado tanto de un online coop como lo fue el de monster hunter GU, fue tanto así que Monster hunter world no me gustó mucho y terminé jugando GU nuevamente como por 3 años... Tal vez no sea el que mas perosnas tenga online, pero tiene una comunidad muy fiel y al final ya nos ubicabamos ya que siempre éramos los mismos jajaja
De verdad, no puedo describir lo hermoso que fue GU en mi vida, ese recuerdo de Farmear toda la rathian maldita para hacerme su armadura, o farmeando me el nargacuga argenteo que fue una tarea super difícil y tediosa pero cuando pude tener todos los materiales para mejorar al máximo la ballesta ligera del argenteo se sintió tan satisfactorio
Yo omití rise ya que preferí esperar a la versión de pc y al fin, después de casi 1 año, en enero al fin podre dedicar mis próximos 3 años a el Rise (?
Always nice to see that, especially MH4U and MHGU are SO much better than the latest adaptations of the game... the 4th gen was just a perfect balance between movement in MH style and fast gameplay, World and Rise just dont feel like MH anymore
I love that the „old world“ finished with a bang. GU is so good
GU was the perfect way to end the old world,as mhwi was the perfect way to end "the new world" and frontier z-zenith the best way to end frontier generations
The last monster hunter before they made the games completely different 😔
*raises hand*
I'm still playing!!!! I don't play as often as I used to, so my progress has been rather slow, but I'd rather have a game with more meat on its bones....
Bro is that fcking Optimus Prime 😂 2:09
MHGU sure is wild at collaborating
Yeah. Ninjatron made a pretty sweet Opimus Prime armor set. I think he had a few other interesting sets. He streams art on Twitch.
@@ThyGreenKnight Very Nice!!
1:36 that’s a sick Roronoa Zoro cosplay
I love mhgu. I think it’s my most played my game ever. Even though I don’t think the hit boxes are quite as polished as mh4u, the hunter styles bring so much diversity to every weapon that there’s always SOMETHING new to try if you’re ever curious about learning it, even hundreds of hours in.
Why remember it when im still playing it?
I love gu and 4u they are my favorite monster hunter games.
Uh, damn. You are intensely proficient and it's cracked.
Also, I've literally never seen a boomerang used before, and to do so with such swag. I'll never be this cool, but at least I can watch someone who is.
better than RISE
as much as i love mhxx is i dont think i can ever go back to paintballing monster
I just did, it isn't that big of a deal.
@@gonzaloconde9365 nah. I've already spent thousands of playtime with them in my 3ds. they're fun but im not going to replay the second time
Lol imagine needing to paint them in the first place like some noob haha
My first and only game in the series. Still haven't finished it. Maining Hunting Horn.
I played world some years ago, finished and never touched it again, but tried GU on my 10 years old 3ds just to do some quests, and suddenly, I spent all the day playing, just magic
Overshadowed completely by worlds but still one of the greatest monster hunter games.
Edit: I’m still on this game in the online lobbies. I actually prefer old gen to rise. Not a fan of the insane power creep that game has (not that this one doesn’t it’s just not nearly as much)
Here's hoping Malfestio returns in Rise 🤞
I miss more nigthcloack ,bot of course we need first his OG species
I'm glad many ppl still play both gen u and 4 u I love yall
Imma miss jho and nergy. At least I have both lads in stories.
GU is something i always come back to. Its just got that amazing feel that seems to be lacking from world and especially from rise. The new mobility from rise was nice but it came at such a cost to the overall feel the game had. Plus prowler will always be a blast and i wish it stuck around because despite how strange it was i always enjoy it. Its such a different feel to the hunters themselves
Ahh memories of a game that thousands are still playing, ahh what a relic of the past
Oh I love this game, brutal yet flipping brilliant 🤗👏
pre 5th gen doesn't mess around
but the black dragons are yet to live up to their names
Best game ever
Amen :3
The fact that you had a compilation of rathian and rathalos getting punished for they’re roars midair is awesome. I’m talking about the moments starting around 13:15
2:34 lol i love this one
Shoutout to the HR200+ players who helped me farm my Jho Ceana set last week. Saved my hair follicles.
Ah yes my first monster hunter game
More like, i can't remember last time that i didn't play this game... Best Monster Hunter game for me just for the sheer unlimited replayability and playtime
Hope gore magala back in rise
At almost 1200 hours into mhgu and still haveing fun.
While games like world and rise have brought a lot of fun new mechanics and made a lot of QoL improvements... I still sometimes miss little things like throwing paintballs at monsters, or the old monster's AI.
Even outdated things like loading zones, or only having 10 mega potions for a hunt or heck, even cold and hot drinks, sometimes I miss it. Not to say the new is bad, but one can really feel the difference.
What I ESPECIALLY miss, is the post-hunt goofing around...
:')
I really miss not being able to restock healing. Really made some clutch moments when you’re on your last mega potion and the monsters nearly dead
As someone who's played 3 and 4 ultimate as well as rise, this game honestly scares me. The lack of telegraphing and the absolute necessity of that strange blue dodge lets me know that every monster is gonna fry all the muscle memory from my brain. One day I will buy and play this game on the switch
Its one of the best classic Monster Hunter games and it has tons of content, you should try it.^^
@@lubbo5261 yeah I bought it a month and a half ago and is the least played monster game yet. Playing world now
@@Panzerschreck9now that a year has passed what do you think of both World and GU
Gu is old mh through and through so I play it to chill on expeditions, really brings back the relaxing foraging side to mh that I feel is lacking in world. All in all I play gu for all the tough monsters then I play world for immersion even though I like gu expeditions more
@@Panzerschreck9 I find it very cool that you pretty much catalogued your experience and impression of the game both before and after you played it lol
I am going to play it again this summer. My favourite Mh game.
The vibe's pretty different from the "remember MHFU" videos I see.
2:33
Ah, that's why.
I still want that game in 60fps... played it for 600 hours it was awesome
still a mainstay in my rotation
going back to older MH games after rise feels like the combat and movement are slow 😂.. played hub in mhgu while waiting for rise 4.0 to come, i had to relearn the controls, and i always do the wirefall buttons 😅
I had to sell my 3ds where I had my gen save and I never got to play this fucking masterpiece. Not even on switch
This is basically just a satisfying clips compilation,but monster hunter.
God I fucking love Monster Hunter.
a beautiful game with genius ideas
i honestly cant say i prefer rise over double cross, dunno what about it just makes me like it so much
I wish SnS had the Adept Guard along with the Adept Evade. Still, massive W of a game. I still play it on yuzu (eat my ass Nintendo) after dumping it onto my PC, along with a 60fps mod. One of the greatest games of all time.
Energy Blade is so satisfying!
I still play this game, im hr 500+ MH rise is amazing but i got burnout. I hope they remake mh4u, traditional MH is the best
No kidding
Missing hot & cold drinks dude and paint ball too hahaha
Imagine not exclusively playing prowler
imagine acknowledging prowler's existence
At 8:26 I know the state that it's in right now, but I always immediately think of the question "IS IT DEAD OR IS IT FAKING?!" whenever I see its death animation :(
Yeah, it can especially make you stop and think when you have two monsters on the quest.
I just wish i hadn't picked this up a year late. Getting decent squads is a huuuuuge pain
That's when I get it im gonna play solo
i will always prefer the combat of gu and 3u to the newer games.
Everybodies 1st mh game will be special to them
@@Sddssjss world and rise arent comparable to old mh
Man I still play 4u and GU. Freaking amazing games
Still playing the hell outta this game
7:43 bro
1:52 bro just became broly and took a fucking super Saiyan beam attack in his face like nothing happened
I like Gen ult is because 1 weapon can have 4 play styles which gives variety to the gameplay, let's say there's 4 of you but all of you have the same weapon each one of you can have different roles even with the same weapons with different move sets and hunter arts
this is the closest we're getting to a frontier game on mainline games
Remembering? This is still an incredible game with a very large player base. People still play online
I still have to beat this game one these days
Are you trying to make me feel old? I still play this today, even 3u and 4u :( lol
The only remembering for me is where I've put my catridge for it.
I really love the upgrade system in mhgu, I dont know of it appears in the other games but I like how you can keep the same weapon but level up while keeping th same look. Cause as much as I love MHW and MHR, I dont like the fact my weapons design changes. I like my goofy ass bagpipe HH
Yeah. I like the basic look of the iron series and it's nice to level up the look of those weapons to G-rank besides also being able to branch off to new weapons.
I still have it, it's just in my Game Case
oh man, old kirin. running around instead of actually fighting you. good times.
The new one does the same
Whenever I see a clip of these older games it’s honestly mostly just the player running around in circles lol
1:05 He/she is a smoooooth operator
I played over 1000 hours of World+Iceborne. I'm at about 300 hours in Rise. I still want my GU to hit 400 and keep pushing it
I still play this game today lol, rn im in g2 any tips? I use greatsword btw
I enjoy using valor for some damage reduction during valor sheathe and nice damage during valor mode charged attack
