@@Cobalt_11hgjdjgjdjhf LOL i didn't get to watch it cos it was happening while I was at work and I've yet to get around to it. I'll have to peep it soon and see what other juicy deets there are
As someone who only got into Monster Hunter a few months ago, this helped understand everything so well. I adore your in depth overview of the franchise! Thank you so much for looking at Monster Hunter merch, besides Fangamer it was actually hard to know where to look.
I love how this video talks about how the games effected pop culture and merchindise. The other monster hunter restropectives didn't do this. Thank you!
AAAAA IM SO GLAD YOH LIKED THAT. everyone's talked about the games but I wanted to talk about the impact monster hunter has made in other aspects, this makes me so happy
Great doco, I really enjoyed this. I played World when it came out, but lately, I've been getting real into the series, starting with the PS2 original. Having a ton of fun :) Edit: Woah, this is your first full-length video? Even more impressive!
Beautiful video. Can't imagine the amount of work that went into this. I just discovered monster hunter with world and have since played a little of almost every older tittle. I'm an older gamer and monster hunter wasn't even part of my gaming infancy so to speak, but there is something so captivating about this franchise. And what's crazy is, no matter how good the games are, I still have the feeling that so much more could be done with the world and ideas of the series if it is managed well by Capcom. Let's hope six is a banger!
this slaps!! i was so surprised when i saw this is the first proper video on the channel, its produced so well that i assumed it was from one of those long-running monhun channels like arekkz or gaijin o.O well when it becomes a long-running channel ill be there to brag about being one of the original 50 subs hehe
Awesome video! learned a lot of details about Monster Hunter I never knew existed! Might rewatch/relisten for stuff i may have missed! Keep up the great work!
It's kinda interesting how the series staying portable for so long meant that for the longest time, graphical fidelity was mostly the same between titles. Hence allowing them to just tweak old maps a little and port them to at the time future titles
Good video! Frontier is not outside your grasp though, you should look into it, it takes a tiny bit of work, but it is very possible to play frontier today!
Ough.. I meant more that I don't have the time. On top of playing regular monster hunter I also play ff14 and a lot of dnd gbjshghsgd. But I would like to run around in game at some point, just to look around.
I was fortunate enough to visit Mh bar back in February. They had a promotion where if you clear the event quest for two rajang in rise you could get like a 5% discount on your order or something like that. Hopefully I can go back some day. Here’s to 20 more years of MH. Happy hunting!
@@AlbaAlbtross The game itself was great. Despite the game not being made by Capcom, they really nailed it. Monster behavior, weapon attacks. It was all solid. And it even did some parts better than world. Like when you can look up the pictures of monsters and where their weakpoint are, Online had more distinct weakpoints than world and it was better communicated. However, it was all in Chinese ofc. There is/was an English patch. But after some time Tensent decided to get rid of those pesky foreigners and encrypted their files which made the english patch almost impossible. Though some smart guys figured it out and the patch came back after a while. But you needed a new version of the patch each update, and it did not translate everything. The hubworld was kind of weird. You had several hubs, like villages, but you would progress to other hubs once you defeated a certain monster and leveled up enough. At least that is how I remember it. Oh, yes you had levels, they did not gave any benefits in terms of damage or so, but you needed to gain certain thresholds to progress in the game. There was an auction house where you could sell or buy items, including monster parts, so you could probably make sets of monsters you never fought, but I am not sure since I only ever sold parts. Aside from the language problems I already talked about, there was another big problem I had that made me quit. High ping and constant disconnects. Unlike in world where you can play the game offline no problem, this game was actually an MMO. It was luckily very client based, so even with a 400+ ping you could play smoothly, until your ping got too high. I would notice my ping because of damage numbers (yes it had those before world did) when my ping was high, the monster would act normally but I would see the damage numbers some time after the attack occurred, if the numbers where missing completely a short while after the monster would most of the time stop responding/ moving. Problem was that the game was still running on the server, with other words when you come back you probably had carted in the meantime. And sometimes the game would kick you altogether which sucked if you where in a 40 minute hunt and then lost all progress because of that. There was no reconnect feature. Because of that I did play hunting horn and just played the healing song over and over again in hopes to survive despite the lag. It sometimes worked on short lag spikes but not on the longer ones. Oh, and another thing, because this was a f2p Chinese game there were a lot of really stupid cosmetic items in the game. So most players you see were just running around in pikinis lol. Oh and it had Monsters that were unique to that game, and those were really cool to fight, but way harder and faster most of the time than the og Monsters. I wish this game could have had a release in the west, with english text and on servers with decent ping.
It's insane when I think I've been playing this game for almost half my life, and I'm 42. I vividly remember every title, man was it ROUGH back in the day. Solo hunts were a pain, all the clunky movement, the archaic mechanics (I don't want to carry 5 cookbooks just so I don't craft literal trash when trying to make potions) and very, very, very little info online about the games as a whole. I had to learn better strategy from this Italian guy I met on a forum on mocospace on my phone lmao. Rathalos_Hunter you're the real MVP, hope that guy is still killing it years later. Man I had some good times, still do, but I have so many fond memories of the old ones. Still have all my copies, the art books, figures, pins, and the crowing jewel an officially licensed jar of Deviljho pickles lol. Can't wait for Wilds!
Me carrying 5 encyclopedia Britannica volumes on my back so I can make a tasty beverage I kinda love how extra the old monster hunter's were, though I understand the changes and welcome them. I do miss old crafting a bit tho still..
Like everyone else I was positively shocked when I got a good way into the video before realizing how few subs and views its got. Truly it deserves more. Or so I thought, until I got to the 3DS slander. Can't be badmouthing the GOAT like that. Tsk tsk tsk.
Its because it takes after generation's in design philosophy, introducing mechanics that will absolutely not be added in future mainline games. It's not being compared to freedom unite or portable 3rd, rise is being compared to generation's and generation's ultimate!
Fun fact: the monster hunter logo actually features a Rathian not a Rathalos, as Rathian was the first monster ever designed for the series!
Holy shit you're right. Omg if I just stared at it a lil longer I'd see the chin spike too yjsjjtjsjtjd thank you for this comment
@@AlbaAlbtross no worries! I just found out in the 20th anniversary dev interview last week!
@@Cobalt_11hgjdjgjdjhf LOL i didn't get to watch it cos it was happening while I was at work and I've yet to get around to it. I'll have to peep it soon and see what other juicy deets there are

There is just no way this video only has 200+ views. Great work! Hopefully this gets some traction at some point.
I hope so too! Thank you so much for the support!
This video is INSANELY GOOD it NEEDS more views, im definitely sharing with my friends. Outstanding work!
Uwaaaaah thank youuuuu
Great video...showing that kirin doujin has me so tempted 😭😭😭 anyways I'm gonna carry on till I finish the video, 50 mins in now

I believe it will be! They seem to always learn from the prior game so everything just gets better and better!

well when it becomes a long-running channel ill be there to brag about being one of the original 50 subs hehe
Oh my gosh thank youuuu!
Ehehehe, I love all the early support and recognition of the effort and all
Amazing video love all the details you go into, this channel is underrated and deserves more subs
Thank you so much ❤ i really appreciate hearing stuff like this

Glad you enjoyed! I'm so glad I could tell you stuff you never knew before!
This video is great! You can really feel the love put into it!
Dankeeee! I hope I can keep making cool stuff
Dude I'm impressed how they manage to get this maps and use them UNTIL GENERATIONS Ultimate (2016) almost without modifications
It's kinda interesting how the series staying portable for so long meant that for the longest time, graphical fidelity was mostly the same between titles. Hence allowing them to just tweak old maps a little and port them to at the time future titles
My brother got me into the games since the psp freedom 2 and am excited for wilds
Commenting cause this video definitely needs the boost. Keep up the good work!
aaaaaa thank you so much!!!
Wonderful Video!! I haven’t played much MH but this video has inspired me to give the new game a try when it comes around! Phenomenal work!
Wilds is looking to possibly be the best yet! Unless you're a classic only kinda person
good video

I literally screamed "God dammit" when you pointed out the Palico naming scheme. 11 YEARS OF PLAYING AND I NEVER PUT THAT TOGETHER!
Don't worry, a few years ago it finally clicked to me that laptops are desk tops for your lap
What a well researched video essay
Thank you! I'm glad you think so..

Great vid, what memories!
And many more to come!

I'm not even gonna lie, this vid was so good, I'm reinstalling MHW now that I'm finished lmao
I hope you have fun! I'm glad you liked the video❤
You'd think that by now people would know that the reason you already know where the monster is in Rise is because of your Cohoot.
I know that's why you send them out at the start of a hunt, I personally just think it's more fun to find the monster yourself! Adds more to the hunt
Holy moly, I thought this video would have like 1 mil views at least due to how good it is.
oh gosh thank you! i hope it blows up like that one day.. for now i work on the next video!
Isn't Zamtrios in MH4? That means there are actually 2 amphibians in MH4. Btw, this video was an absolute blast! You are SO underrated!
Thank you so much!! And omg you're right I totally forgot he counts cos shark makes me think fish like plesioth im so dumb ghsngbsvfbfs

Maybe they'll make a third considering the success of stories 2
The cute girl in the thumbnail got me... I'll be staying for Monster Hunter.

I want to see King Cerberus in a MH Wilds colab like Behemoth, just dreams but dreamSSS
If wilds is anything like world, I'm sure we can expect another FF collab!
This video is cool
I'm glad you like it!
So where is my Monster Hunter Godzilla crossover? I want my Gojira Armor. Maybe in Wilds.
It's like right there idk why they haven't done this yet. Just don't make him toooo big and it's a crossover that writes itself!
@@AlbaAlbtross 50 m? so the original size
@@ZillaSteve thats about lao shan lung size so it could definitely be done imo
@@AlbaAlbtross or a story fight with Godzilla as a Hunter against one his enemys like King Ghidorah
@@ZillaStevegodzilla as samurai armor against a hydra... peak fiction
I own the Rathalos PS4
Im so sad tho that I missed the event for the custom ps4 background ;-;
I'm willing to bet money that there's gonna be a monster hunter ps5 for wilds BUT UNFORTUNATELY... ps5 doesn't use themes.. 😒

You forgot prowlers in mhgu
I brought up prowlers briefly in the icons segment, which is why I didn't bring it up again during my generation's talk!
i don't get why they keeps calling Rise a spin off, i'm pretty sure the portable games are still mainline games.
Its because it takes after generation's in design philosophy, introducing mechanics that will absolutely not be added in future mainline games. It's not being compared to freedom unite or portable 3rd, rise is being compared to generation's and generation's ultimate!

Monster Hunter is overrated. It's just boss rush Dark Souls
Apples and oranges, you don't farm specific bosses for parts in souls games 😂
