@@gabrielsilvestre8491 MHp3rd is easier to play, had better hitbox, more weapons and more mechanics however it does not have G Rank. I am biased to that game tho, it's where I put most of my time.
I remember this game fondly. I was in middle school and I'm pretty sure I got to G-rank but never beat it. All I remember is having a palico named Tornado that would constantly blow me up with bombs and interrupting my GS charges
Man, I played MHFU for more than 2 years and broke a PSP doing so. Would bring it to school with me to play in-between classes and during Lunch. I made EVERYTHING in that game and could use it all. I was a walking MH Wikipedia to my friends. Learned it all on my own and have been a lifelong MH fan since the 1st. MHFU is still goated to me as the best old school MH. It was such a delight watching this and reminiscing on the golden age. ❤
Ahhh... the memories and trauma of my first Monster Hunter game. This game is the reason I loathe Khezu's literal existence. Also, best village theme, you will not change my god damn mind. (The fact that Iceborne didn't get this as a buyable theme cut me deep)
you're not the only one! picked it up for 5 bucks when i was 12, didn't understand it, lost to khezu 20 times, dropped it - went back to it two years later and addiction'd thru it the internet sometimes just shows you that unique experiences are a myth
I managed to solo the entire game back then on psp, Monster Hunter in the nekoht quests was a massive vibe check. There is also that one infamous quest where it is a highrank diablos with a broken horn, but hits like a grank and has 95% the hp of a grank one, fun stuff...
Great video, you always make me want to jump back into mh and bring back my motivation, even if i have to hunt a dreadking rathalos that i fucking despise
Solid jokes, editing and honestly your choice of sound effects is particularly great. If youre taking feedback at all, I'd love getting a little retrospective/summary of your overall feelings at the end. Look forward to whatever you put out next ❤
This game is what started by continuing love for the Monster Hunter series. Technically yes I did own Freedom 2 as well and that one's older, but I didn't play it or love it nearly as much as this version. Freedom Unite will always have my whole heart.
I never got a chance to play this game, World was my first MH game, so I really appreciate the second hand experience of all the pain and all the laughs. 😂😂
Such nostalgia. I put, no joke, five HUNDRED hours into this game. Had a full set of White Fatalis armor and a range of bows to cover every damage type. I literally played this game until my PSP broke down from so much heavy usage between this game and Final Fantasy Dissidia. And this was the first Monster Hunter title I ever played. A true testament to the janky greatness of this title.
Currently replaying MHFU. I'm trying to 100% it with Hunting Horn. Currently done all of 1 to 4 star village. I've done these monsters way too many times when I was young. Fun times. Good video by the way!
This takes me back when that Skittles commercial release where the Giraffe was eating a rainbow and the dude was milking the Giraffe and you later find out the Giraffe was a male giraffe. But yeah I miss having farms in Monster Hunter.
I mean if I had a magical giraffe that could eat material and turn it into small edible crystals I would feed it coal and make diamonds. 💎 Fingers crossed you play Wilds should be fun.
Ahh yes, the first ever PSP game i got and my first introduction into the concept of "sinking a thousand plus hours into a singular entity when you should be doing something more productive"... Probably why i didnt do so well in middle school, but thats the past...
I still haven't played Freedom Unit, but this at least looks more playable than the first game. Even though I like Rise, I do agree that the simple fights are ones I adore the most.
I still play MHFU unironically, like I've got currently about 400-500 hours on it on my PSP after I purposely bought it about 7 years ago and then forgot to play it seriously until like, 2 years ago or less.
Man, MHFU is the best. Replaying it right now and it just feels awesome to have an actual challenge. I played through WorldBorne and RiseBreak without failing any quests until endgame challenges. In MHFU i failed my first quest against village khezu urgent lol. If you get cocky and don't upgrade your armor you're gonna get punished. It's awesome honestly.
Oh yeah, I oughta go through this while I wait and see how live serviced wilds is gonna be. Christ, Gen really was a love letter to the whole series huh?
i was still a drooling child when i got my hand on this and looking back now, im surprised i got as far as i did then even when i couldn't understand shit
Man watching this makes me want to play it on my PSP, even though I know I’m gonna give myself hand cramps. Also, Because of you I’m calling chicken nuggets Monstie Nuggies now, that’s too perfect of an idea.
I'd argue Portable3rd is the last classic feeling MH. Even though it released between Tri and 3U, it kinda feels like the actual transitioning between early and golden age MH.
@@kingofflames738 I'm playing Portable 3rd as I'm typing this. It's smooth like a hot knife through butter compared to Freedom Unite. MHFU is good, but it's still got that old jank. That's just my two cents. 👀
Ah yes, the Tigrex hitboxes that haven't been fixed since he showed up. I swear to god in Rise and World they're still completely disjointed you can't convince me otherwise.
I came here expecting Monster Hunter game I didn't play yet. Until I see that dreaded village in snow. Then my mind was in pain. I don't know why, but I just suddenly tells me I'm in pain. I was so confused, and double checking my own body. What in the world happened in my childhood?
Pretty sure (but might be wrong), Elder dragon health and the big crab health carried over each fight in MHFU so that might be why your second try on the big crab was easier.
Lavasioth Tipp - They cannot come close to the entrance between the 2 fire zones. camp there and use Pierce lv2 ammo and if he is about use a fireball just roll back into the gate to evade and leave the zone.😂
People who still play the old mon hun games are a different breed 😂 I can't even get more than a couple hours into Generations because of the jank, this looks absolutely miserable 😂 W video though
MHFU was my first MH game back when I was very young, and I now realize that I was way more shit at it than I remembered and never got even halfway in lmao
so what happened with the giant crab fight is if you repel it the next fight keeps its remaining health for the next mission but you had to break the horn to be a successful repel if you fail however it just keeps the same health from the previous run so you can kill it
This was a fantastic video :D Great showing of the game, I love how you narrate the whole playthrough I got FU a bit ago but haven’t played much due to no controller (psp busted mhm yep) but this makes me realllly wanna keep trying,,,i will simply find a weapon that has no two-button inputs excited for more, i always adore these videos regardless of the game :D
I'm probably not the norm on this- but my first Monster Hunter game was World. I liked it, liked the way the combat felt the enviroments looked and felt mostly top notch (I still don't know what the fuck is Ancient Forest, noodle soup with extra noodles or something), hated siege quests, specially when my grinding depended on it, missed a TON of content but was content pun intended with my experience. Decided to go all the way back to what was oldest and most accesible to play online. Tackled it with a friend. It clicked like all hell. The difficulty curve is *mwoah* chef's kiss. Each and every time I was having trouble with something, adapting in just ONE SMALL WAY made it so much more bearable. From the longer term stuff like learning that I needed to upgrade my equipment every so often to the moment to moment thing of using stuff like traps, flash bombs and screamer pods more frequently, and better timed... Or becoming closely acquainted with a monster's quirks so as to be able to better react to its moveset. Which comes in handy when you have to grind for it (Thank you, Shogun Ceanataur)... And I felt like all this was SO much better than the handler yelling over your ear to don''t forget to drink potions or the CONSTANT up to the 200 HOUR MARK ONSLAUGHT of TUTORIAL SCREENS. This was organic, this let you hit your head against the wall until you were forced to adapt. From using a ranged weapon against Plesioth / Lavasioth to frigging having your friend play us some Wind Negation tunes to better deal with the Kushala Daora. Ohhh and the infinite stamina... Saved my life more times than I can probably even have perceived. Got to hunt succesfully Akantor and Ukanlos, but some day I'll have to go back and slay Fatalis. All in all, I can confidently say, YES this game gives you Stockholm syndrome, makes you a Khezu and Blangonga lover, makes you actually love fighting big Tigrex because you can dodge under his armpit, and makes you sink 380 hours into it and have one of the best pandemic experiences one could hope for. 10/10 would play again, same with Portable 3rd.
Don’t forget about the one horned demon king Diablos quests (yes there are 2 different ones). There’s THAT quest in the mix with the other Diablo quests. Also, no fatalis 3x😢.
Whenever MHFU is mentioned my left hand starts to cramp and the PTSD from the "Claw" technique kicks in.
My monster hunter addiction is dash juice
I still use the claw sometimes
Same goes for Portable 3rd
claw grip is the only way forwards in life embrace the carpal tunnel
Halfway through high rank in MHFU and I still haven't had to use the claw yet. Pray for my continued success
The PTSD is part of the experience, you'll either hate this game or develop a Stockholm Syndrome with it, nothing in-between.

The old monster hunter village has the cozy feel that the newer titles don't have
Rise has a nice vibe, but the Pokke theme is really hard to compete with.

Also, best village theme, you will not change my god damn mind.

100% i went through ALL the tracks to try and Find that Poke Villiage them, Great Sadness
how the heck did I not thrown my psp when I was 14 and solo'd the game without feeling like quitting I will never know
