As a veteran hunter, there is something special about watching people play their first entry in the series and "get it."
Played MH4U. I got it.... but I didn't finish it it didn't hook me like they said it would
@@Matanumi then you didn't get it
It’s my first and it is sooooo much fun :)!!!
Right???
My first entry was Monster Hunter Portable 3 on the PSP, I've tried it but didn't get into it. Rise is what really made me stay! And the dangos too! 🍡
A wise man once said “Monster Hunter as a franchise has mastered the gaming loop, to such a degree that it creates addiction, it’s practically virtual cocaine”
Soon, congress will declare it illegal in some states.
Who made this quote
Well, at least it's healthier than getting snagging in to some garbage gatcha gambling games on the phone which leads to nowhere in the end. lol

100 hours sounds about right for a first impressions video, if ya know what I mean!
It's the man, Tim!
OOGACHAKA OOGACHAKA
Poor arlo doesn't even realize that mh games get updates. They just added 4 new monsters + apexs in regular hunts and event quests....and next month another update. Rip arlo.
@@therealbalto24 You didn't watch the whole video did you bud

I’ve actually never played monster hunter but I had to say that it’s too funny
Welcome to the cycle! Hunt, upkeep, eat, repeat!
I don't know how anyone else feels, but I'm okay with a little content drought if it means you're enjoying yourself so much.
I mean a lot of his content is just content for the sake of content, there is only so much Nintendo news actually worth reporting on. I'd rather just have actual reviews and substantial content than the roundups with things I hardly care about. But he has to put food on his table, so I get it.
Honestly, towards the end there it just sounded like he needed a vacation, and if MH is what made him take that vacation then good for him...
On the other side of the coin I can easily see this getting out of hand and it hurting him in the long run...
Meh, Arlo'll figure it out.
New content for monster hunterat the end of the month. Mr bones wild ride never truly ends for monsterhunter
I second. Shit, bro, I'll throw in a couple more watches on the roundups, if that helps.
I absolutely agree. Arlo's passion is what makes me want to watch his videos
Arlo:I could talk about monster hunter for hours
Arlo: but that would take hours away from playing monster hunter
Arlo has looked into the Monster Hunter abyss. And it stared back.
He got hip checked into the hole

9:11 "that's what's scary 100 hours felt like nothing'
Omg true, usually 100-150 hour RPG was this long epic thing in this it felt like just the start
This 100 hour thing usually happens to me with RPG that get me hooked on the story. Persona 5 Scramble being the most recent memory and Trails in the sky being the most memorable.
Arlo: “I need to put this game down, I’m done....”
Capcom: “Here is a massive free update dropping today!”
Arlo: “Fuuuu...”
This game has so much depth, everytime I think I am done it pulls something else. I am always amazed
@@khaledm.1476 And then the final and third update comes out at the end of May. Arlo: Well, here we gooooo! *Derpy here we gooooo.mp4.* *boots up Monster hunter Rise.*
Monster Hunter is the kind of game where you boot it up for the first time, find a weapon you like, and suddenly you've sunk 50 hours in the game and haven't even fought a Magnamalo.
Tried Longsword(suggested by a certain guide for complete begginers) and daaaaamn! Got hooked and spend lots of hours and not even reaching magnamalo!
@@ritzrocksrockjaden2811 longsword :(
I was just dicking around in the earliest missions because it was so fun

Welcome to the guild!
I really like how authentic this one felt arlo
It sounded like he wanted to crush up and snort monster hunter.... I’m scared
@@billable1861 Join him. Join the hunt.
wtf we have the same profile pic
@@nicko-dev 😂😂
@@billable1861 Monster Hunter is CRACK.
Arlo is the only content creator I know of that puts out 20 minute videos about a topic to inform us he’s going to keep talking about that topic.
I love it about him so much
This video is basically just Arlo saying "This brings me joy! I HATE THAT"
not only that, but the way this one gets the hunts finished so nice and quickly, it's addicting. some of them, you'd go "I don't really have 40 minutes to put into a hunt that might fail anyway" but now it's like 10-20 minutes, less with online play.
That sounds more like a negative to me. Almost sounds like youre just saying that the game has gotten easy.
@@jonathangoodwin5609 dude world was a slog sometimes
@@jonathangoodwin5609 Coming from someone who has been playing monster hunter since monster hunter freedom 2, yes, the game is significantly easier. But it doesn't mean the game isn't fun. Actually, it's pretty damn good. Not my favorite, but it's a damn good game. I highly recommend it.
@@jonathangoodwin5609 not at all. Who the hell wants to be in a hunt for like 20+ minutes? Like I get that you take about 15+ minutes on your VERY FIRST encounter, but when you finally understand everything and have your personal meta sets, you’re hunts will be about less than 10 minutes, and I like that. Is it easier than World/Iceborne? Eeehhhh they’re more on the same level, but what matters is how fun it is.
“Once you enter the world of Monster Hunter, You can’t get out”
Not me. I tried. Couldn't get into it at all.
@@TheVicarstownSentinel I didn't like the demo, but I needed a game to play so I Yolo"d the $60. Now I'm over 200 hours, and watching weapon guides. Last MH I played was Tri on the Wii
@@TheVicarstownSentinel Too hard?

He can't he needs to stop playing it to make it happen!
Petition for Arlo to not be an obnoxious Nintendo Fanboy: *FUCKING SIGNED*
Sure but let's wait till the G rank version drops to have it happen.
@@cloudfinal3196 you sound more like a nintendo fanboy projecting like that
That’s what Monster Hunter does to you.
Also I’d love for there to be a Monster Hunter movie that’s just an in-universe nature documentary
Just keep out the Isekai
@@firenze6478 that wasn't the problem. The director was.
That movie would fit the monster hunter universe better than the one we got because that movie made the monster mindless creature that just kill when in universe all quest you do are because monsters aren't acting like they usual do
@@meikahidenori it still didn’t need to be Isekai and it’s so overused in video game movies that it’s become cliche
Look up the monster hunter ecology videos from the older games.

I've been missing your regular uploads, but I'm really happy for you that you've been having such a fun, therapeutic time with this game. We all need that every once in a while, and sometimes it's great to just relieve yourself of your typical duties for a while haha. Keep treating yourself Arlo, enjoy it!
Yo Uncle Al! how's it going?
thank you canned coochie man
Uncle al is a hunter?
@@Sejikan Of course he is, and a good one at that.
Ah, yes, the traditional MH "how did I sink X hundred hours into this already" moment.
Doesn't help that you go to a mission to hunt X monsters, but when you get on the map you see another monsters roaming around that you kinda need parts off, so you go and hunt that too. And just like that, a 8-15 min mission (maybe more if you are a newbie) becomes a half an hour mission.
Yeah for real, I bought Generation Ultimate on switch and I wasn't as into it as I was with World, yet I checked and I apparently put almost 50 hours with it.
Arlo April 23rd: the past 2-3 weeks affected my work and I basically just posted news roundups
Also Arlo April 22nd: here's an in-depth 30 minute long age of calamity review
He probably had that in the works for quite awhile
Been working on that for 4 months
Probably playing rise
He has played so much rise that even his memory started taking a toll
That was probably the editor finishing it and not Arlo recording it
*watches as he rides the lagombi away from players and bashes it only once
He a bit confused, but he's got the spirit
It's Yoshiller's footage, blame the editor. >.>
Yeah this footage did not read like someone with 100 hours lol, what with the way his stamina was constantly at 0 and his sharpness felt really low for the levels of monsters he was fighting. Makes sense it was the editor's footage then.
We all start somewhere
"Are you hooked on Monster Hunter Rise?"
Me, who's been hunting since I was 12, and was actively hunting a goss harag while listening...... "Maybe"
My first monster hunter was 4 Ultimate so I was around 16 when I first started
I have a deadline today for a piece of work I can't figure out how to do. Was literally staring at my computer trying not to cry when this notification came through. Listening to you rambling about a game you really enjoyed for 20 minutes has melted my stress away. Thanks, Arlo.
TH-cam to the rescue, always makes me forget about shit that stressed me out.
It's going to be alright, dude! Be strong, either way it goes life will go on and you will absolutely be okay.
@@SweaterSwagg Thanks :)
Can we recognize how Arlo is a great youtuber to announce products? Like really, each recurring product advertisement has it's own "series" of ads, like the arlo's multiverse for raycon and the tech guy for express vpn. That's some entertaining method to make you see the full ad. Good job you beautiful monster!
literally the only sponsor ads that i actually want to watch on youtube.
@@LozPlaya ditto
It reminds me of Terrible Writing Advice.
He's got a ton of recurring characters (writing stereotypes) that all interact and come into conflict to try and gain control of the sponsor of that episode.
He legit just pulled a squidward in the patty vault.
(Smug face) “You like Monster Hunter don’t you, Arlo”
If the game is helping you with stress, that's not a bad thing! It's totally not a waste of 100 hours of your life if you're enjoying it with friends and helps you with a mind reliever. Life can be so overwhelming sometimes, so it's helpful to get these breaks in between.
“Don’t forget you’re here forever” may as well be the tag line for the series.
Then change it to "Do it for her" with a picture of the plate/rare drop gem icon.
@@ReikuYin what
@@dretorres6654 It's a continuation of the joke. You'd have to know both that classic Simpson epp and monster hunter icons.
@@dretorres6654 The "Remember, You're here forever" and "Do it for her" are classic Simpson references.
Its so awesome seeing Arlo, who for a while didn't seem to care a whole lot about Monster Hunter to now be super into it.
As a lot of people have expressed already. That "click" moment is what makes this series so good. Sometimes it happens in a single moment, sometimes it creeps up on you and you don't even realize you've been enraptured. I hope you remember that moment well. Happy hunting!
"So much I want to do... So much I NEED to do..."
-Hunter's Lament
Monster Hunter to me is like Dark Soul's happy older cousin that loves to take you on adventures with friends.
That's one way to describe the game! 😂
@Aedrius 0 And its a game about cats in a village with a chibi artstyle.
@Aedrius 0 man I want a MH Rise X Dark Souls crossover event. Like maybe Sif as a MH monster and then you can use the parts you carve for the Artorias Set and his GS.
I totally get you. They're really different games but with some striking similarities. Not least that I haven't been as addicted to a game as I have been with MH Rise since I first played Dark Souls.
Please do a Big Fat Review of MHR. Doesn’t even have to be scripted. I’d listen to you ramble on for hours about Monster Hunter. You have a unique perspective as a newcomer.
The part where Arlo said it was therapeutic, was just so wholesome.
There are few things more therapeutic than beating the crap out of a giant critter and turning it into a brand new pair of pants.
Trust me Arlo, I’ve been hooked since 2009. Once it latches on, it never lets go
As a Monster Hunter fan who is happy you're having fun and understanding the appeal of the series, god I am SO SORRY this is the rest of your life. Welcome to the insane asylum, Arlo!!!!
I haven't even watched the full video yet, but can wholeheartedly agree. Monster Hunter Rise has taken over my life in the best way possible
Nice profile picture
This video captures perfectly how I felt when my friends talked my into playing World. Glad to have you as one of us
It is actually really heartwarming to hear you enjoy the game so much. The way youve described your experience with MH really resonated with me, and i'm sure a lot of other fans of the series too. How it goes beyond just beeing a game among many others and starts to offer you (and your friends) an experience like no other. I am very happy to welcome another member to the friendly community that is the Monster Hunter fandom, hope you keep on enjoying it ^^.
P.S. the super duper hype comes in phases and can wear off, but the love for the series is eternal ;)
When I saw the image I genuinely had a wild moment where I thought it meant Alro couldn’t stop playing the Hotel Transylvania Pokémon ripoff

After the next update, HR gets uncapped so you won’t stop at HR7. You can keep going up to 999
Thank you for making this. I've been wondering if I should get into the game. I guarantee I'll get hooked beyond belief too. My work schedule doesn't need that right now LMFAO
Maybe sometime in the future. But man, this game looks SO incredible and my life isn't ready to be overtaken by it yet lmfao
Your life needs fun, not work.
If you end up having any questions, definitely ask on any MH community of some sort. The majority of us are down to help newbies so they can learn how rad it can be.
Been watching your content for over a year and probably more.
As someone that played "only" 200 hours into it: I really think you should give it a go
If you're worried about TH-cam money for the videos you make, maybe stream the game and your first time playing it?
Blind MH players are so rare they're a delight to watch lol
its ok bud, updates will make the game bigger and bigger so when you give it a shot there will be massive stuff to do, you better get ready for that lol
I feel you completely on this. I really want to play, but I can’t afford to get totally hooked on anything right now.
I don’t think I’ve ever watched a video that made me want to actually load it up on my phone so I could comment. Seeing a new hunter get into the series like this is the best part of monster hunter. Hope you’re having a great time with the elder dragons this update, and here’s to the rest of your journey as a hunter.
Monster hunter has been my favorite game series since was a kid playing Freedom unite and now that everyone gets it is so heartwarming
Do you still feel the urge to claw with your left hand?
@@SoukaDeezNutz Oh no I just delt with terrible camera. Hitboxes meant you would be hit at camp so it actually didn't change it much.
Once it clicks, it just clicks.
Arlo better be ready for G-rank, that's the true test.
As a third fleeter and a Arlo fan, reaction to arlo pre-rise about MH:
Arlo: "MH not really for me, but good for them"
Me: *sad noises*
Arlo post-rise:"I am hooked!"
Me: "HA! I knew it!"
Welcome Arlo. We've been waiting for ya.
This is basically me when playing Fire Emblem 3 houses. Every single session takes me 5 or 6 hours then the reality starts to kick in that I need to go to work, buy food and do house stuff and need to do them all before I play again.
510 hours into 3H and I couldn't agree more
"When i'm gaming online...cause computer, glasses...course I do."
Why did you have to call me out like that? xD
It's so genuinely amusing watching someone first fall into this trap when you've been stuck in this series for like ten years.
This is the best articulation of getting hooked on Monster Hunter I’ve ever watched. Love the enthusiasm. Welcome to the hunt!!!!
As someone who's first MH game was Rise....I have over 250 hours clocked in and I just can't stop playing lol. Capcom's most recent update with the new monsters and implementation of layered armor sets is now consuming even more of my time than before. This is easily going to be one of those rare games that I already know I'm going to put several thousand hours into, If not more. I'm hooked.
Someone really named their character "Smackie Chan" XDDD
Ladys and gentleman we got him
Wellcome to the hunter life arlo ...
Now you can never go back
Monster hunter just has one hell of a game loop. Every part of it is so satisfying
Arlo: I have no time to play games I'm FAR too busy to play games nowadays!!
Also Arlo: I've spent over 100 hours within a couple of weeks.
Which is it dude.
As a busy guy myself with a day job, 100 hours for a game that came out 3 weeks ago is pretty alright. Thats around 3 hours per day enough short game sessions on work breaks or before bed. c:
Exactly what I was thinking ... Im like... Arlo surely cant be THAT busy. His only job is making TH-cam videos and if hes not doing that then what possibly else could he be so busy with?
Welcome, make yourself comfortable. You're never gonna leave.
haha you have fallen into the hole that is monster hunter
*have fallen
Oh Monster Hunter, I have a few of those
“When I saw that number, the gravity of the situation hit me” Arlo... you not only crack me up but are the most relatable monster who ever was.
i would like to thank capcom for making this masterpiece and saving my miserable life during this pandemic, truly a life saver.
8:50 then there’s me I’ve played animal crossing for 1,000 hours
It's like you used your little blue monster hands to reach inside my brain. I relate so much to everything you are feeling, right down to Stardew Valley.
The fact that you are a hunting horn player... that is a blessing
It’s his editor’s footage in the video. You can see the editor’s name in the top of the screen
Arlo you convinced me to pick it up. And I’ve put in 10 hours and I’m SO excited for a full review.
In truth if you play a monster hunter game less than 100 hours you didn't really played it.
Fax
Nice profile pic
Yup. Spent about 400+ in mh4u and closer to 1k hrs in mhw
Nope. If you play the game and enjoyed it, you played it. That's what games are for. Elitism doesn't belong in a recreational activity unless it's your job.
@@prettyworm7311 I honestly don't think this is a case of elitism at all. With certain games, it really is necessary to play it for a certain amount of time before the player has had the chance to experience all the game has to offer. That's the way I read op's comment: if you've only played for x amount of hours, you, very likely, haven't yet been able to experience all the content the game has to offer.
Stages of every monster hunter:
1 this combat is slow a clunky
2 ok so the combat isn’t clunky, I was just bad
3 ok this game is really fun
4 please let me see my family again
I never give it more time to get to step 3, Guess I should try
No, it was clunky and we werent used to the clunk lol doesn't mean it's a bad game, I am referring to the old titles. Rise and world are not very clunky. Im playing 3U again and oh boy is it clunky but once you get used to it, it's not so bad. Plus on wiiU you dont have to claw grip 😀
This was exactly me when I first played FE3H, and when I played it for the second time, and the third. Sometimes there are just games you never want to put down, and I can't tell whether it's a blessing or a curse
I totally get this. I just finished my first playthrough of FE3H two weeks ago. I've tried several games since and all they do is make me miss FE3H more so I've decided I'm just going to do another playthrough of 3H instead.
Video game addiction is no joke, it took over my life for 10 years, I have no social skills, I have extreme Socel anxiety and panic attacks when I'm in public.
I have no idea how to quit videogames, it's probably going to kill me one day.
Just remember people are usually more concerned with how they are coming across than how good your social skills are because everyone is the center of their own universe and we're all the same brother.
3 Arlo videos since Tuesday. Am I dreaming?
I love that Arlo’s tech nerd persona combs over his little hairs
I love to see new hunters become so addicted to the series! Reminds me of when I played my first Monster Hunter game (MH4U). It's just so addicting and the combat never gets old. The perfect knockout slam to a monster's head is just as satisfying the next 100 times. Keep enjoying your first MH Arlo :)
I'm In the same boat. I've slowed down a bit, but I've already got 200 hours in Rise. It's legit one of the best games I've ever played. It has insanely fun combat, amazing monster designs, great art direction, and a super deep equipment system that allows you to tinker endlessly. I've made builds for 7 of the weapon types so far. That's honestly the key to so many hours played. Trying out new weapon types is like trying different fighters in a fighting game, except they're even more unique. I can't necessarily recommend this game to anyone, but if you love videogames and want a new one to really sink your teeth into, it's a must play.
I love how it's Yoshilers footage in the background and not Arlo's haha
Agreed 🤣
Its always like this, footage is the editor's job
and boy it sure is footage
feels like it's his first MH
don't worry buddy, you'll make it someday
@@ArgenteonYT
Lol, sharpness bar permanently orange and red, max stamina depleted shorter than the sharpness bar, no wirefall recoveries... it's painful to watch 😵
Arlo, the only person who doesn’t realize they can become a Vtuber.
Please no
God no. I'm tired of the shitty mouth syncing and constant bobbing. Some people have hand-designed their avatars to match their movements wonderfully but 99% are just really annoying to look at. >.>
He already is. He’s a dang hand puppet, lmao
Fuck no I hate vtubers I’m tired of the weird models and uncanny valley
Also the weird objectification of human beings like those anime waifus are like real people behind the vtube thing that have Feelings and emotions but people still ship them and treat them like fictional characters it’s weird anime shit arlo doesn’t need that
Vtubers are just puppets manipulated by software instead of hands.
100 hours?!?! We gotta pump those numbers up! Those are rookie numbers!
This is my first ever monster hunter game and I'm absolutely loving it I can't stop playing or thinking about it. I got it Friday and it's Monday and even though I moved and was unpacking this weekend I still managed to put 42 hours into the game.
One of us. One of us. ONE OF US.
No raycon? This must be an arlo from an alternate universe
Not even gonna wait for the full review. I’m going out to pick it up right now!
We're glad to have you, Arlo. May your whetstone never run out.
as soon as I read the title i immediately thought of Monster Hunter
Having been in MH's Thrall since freedom unite, this feeling is unique and great. Welcome to the hunters guild Arlo!
I just rewatched this video since watching it when it first came out. It’s august now and I’m still obsessed with mh rise. I’ve put almost 200 hours in at this point and that’s an INSANE amount for me. Usually for games that aren’t online shooters I average about 30-50 hours before I feel that I’ve gotten what I want out of the game. But this one is so different. I can’t get enough of it and I’ve started playing older titles on my 3ds while I wait for new content to drop. This may be my all time favorite franchise now
The thing that truly sets Monster Hunter apart is that in other games, you grind to eventually get to the good part. Monster Hunter found a way to make the grind an amazingly fun, limitless ride. The grind is not a grind because the grind is good. The grind is life.
The grind is the grind
I couldn't get into MH: World, but Arlo is selling Rise hard. Makes me wanna give the series another shot.
MH:World had some pacing problems, but this game solved a lot of them. MH: Rise is basically MH:World Version 1.5 + Breath of the Wild. Highly recommend it if you like games with a distinct feeling of progression and accomplishment.
Also maybe watch some videos about the weapons, if you click with a weapon then you'll be hooked.
Welcome Arlo, we accept our new hunter with open arms
5:07 "I want to play this game forever, this is my life"
When I had this feeling the last time, the game lasted about ten to fifteen hours :(
Enjoyed a few of your videos previously but this one earned you a sub. BTW 100 hrs? Those are rookie numbers!
You finally reviewed a Monster Hunter Game.
And as a massive fan of Monster Hunter, this makes me EXTREMELY happy.
Welcome to the hunt. I felt this addiction for the first time with World/Iceborne. I still prefer that game, but I'm loving Rise too.
Welcome to the family Arlo, have fun :)
Welcome to the monster hunter guild, Arlo.
Welcome to the rest of your life.
"I've played over 100 hours, and I feel like it's only beginning."
You sir, you get it.
Welcome to the guild, Hunter!
Honestly so true, I've been trying to pace myself but it is hard sometimes. What a slippery slope
Do as much as you want, excited to see the content
Somewhere, far far away, deep down in a forest, there was a faint yet oh so audible voice whispering in a soothing yet inescapable tone:
...
"One of us. One of us. One of us."
