"the hunts take around 10 minutes" and other jokes you can tell yourself
That's on your part. Still solid joke
When you can find the monster, it's not too long.
When you forget to paintball Silver Rathalos...it's gonna be a little bit longer haha
10' is around the time you achieve when you're already very familiar with your weapon and that particular monster you're hunting
Only speedrunners go under 10' and I'd say most people don't plan to prepare that hard for every hunt they do
If you're not really "underleveled" it's normal to achieve 20'-30' on your first tries
Agree. In World its easy to get under 10 minutes. In GU, i once complete a mid tier monster with only 8 seconds left cause i was dumb.
Welp I just got into mhgu and it took me a solid 20mins to kills the velociraptor
"what is monster hunter?"
me, someone who has been playing MH for 10 years: heck yea just the video i needed
I knew exactly what this video was gonna be yet I still watched it
Yuh same bro
Lol same here but I've only been playing about 5 years 😂
Same here
Same lol
Monster hunter is the game you wanted to exist when you played “monster killing” in elementary school with your friends
you stop feeling bad when you realize their hat looks really sick
That perfectly sums up how i felt about monster hunter when i first discovered it lol
It did exist while I'm in elementary...
@@disconneck1363 PS2 MH stuck on velocidrome for almost a month... Coz I dunno how to paintball it..........
it did :D
I started to play HM with Freedom Unite with my 3 pals from middle school!! This was the time of our lives! Now I'm the only one left... going through various discord servers to find ppl so I don't have to solo the endgame
Dude, you were scarily close when you said "Monster Hunter Rise FireDeath"
Can't wait for SunBreak
A game where an electric ape fights a draconic pickle/cactus.
Best game ever
I'm sorry but you meant to say a super saiyan monke
We all know that the Cactuar is going to beat the shit outta that mon-Oh you meant Deviljho
And that electric ape gets its power from eating an electric unicorn's horn
You forgot about the most important crossover, it recently crossed over with Monster Hunter
There better be Mila Jovovich DLC in Rise, or I'm not buying it
@@CaptainAstronaut DLC? Honestly unplayable if its not a part of the main story.
@@a_guy_in_orange7230 bold of you to assume you're even buying a "game" if she's not in it. The game can't function without her
@@CaptainAstronaut what is the quest reward bad acting
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THEY EVEN BROUGHT MONSTER HUNTER INTO THE GAME?!
"Each fight takes roughly 10 minutes"
Me: *laughs in soloing G rank*
Soloing G-Rank?!?
Mad respect
@@CaptainAstronaut I haven't finished it yet. I reached the 3 star quests but I'm unable to complete them. Heck, I'm unable to complete the 1 star quests now for some reason.
@@Hika571 relatable
Learn switch axe arial style and finish any G rank in a few mins
@@VampsTheFallen power switch axe plus attack up large does serious damage. That's what I've been using
You collect MUSHROOMS in Monster Hunter? I'm sold!
Heya Vasko!
Theres even a skill called mushroomancer that allows you to eat mushrooms and have them be as effective as mega potions
"Wow there's so many mushrooms in here!"
@@Yami_Industries that's some post-P3rd shit👌
U collect everything from herbs, mushrooms,bugs,mineral ores,monster materials etc.... Don't be surprised if we're all quite the hoarder XD.
Charge blade isn't that complicated, here just take this pamphlet it's really simple
*hands over textbook sized pamphlet*
@@afiqnazmi98 And that doesn't even include guard points
so....you wouldn't recomment it to a newbie on MHW?
@@goddamnpiero6153 I don't think many people start with it as their first weapon. But it is definently a good weapon to use once you've familiarized yourself with the game mechanics and monsters. The top tier gameplay ceiling is very high with guard points and all the things you can do with that. But you won't always need that since the bread and butter of 'charge phials->charge shield/sword->charge phials->burst phials via AED/SAED' can get you through most things
@@kyleyuen245 the charge blade is so complex that some people call that the swiss army knife of the weapons.

feeling bad about having to kill the cool looking monster (even though they most likely got too close to the village and therefore represent a threat to humans) gang
At least in MHW if you capture them they get released into the wild
Capture if able gang, dodogamma is our patron and mascot
@@a_guy_in_orange7230 even after severing its tail, i still capture it
Nah the real endgame is wondering how your 900 defense didn’t save you from Fatalis merely walking
Thats very low and i can say that fatalis hits like a truck and i think you can go to over 1000 if you upgrade more youre armor but im going to say he will still one shot you you need divine blessing i say miself that shit saves asses i have 1800H in the game and this post was made.
*BY THE DUAL BLADES GANG*
@@aitorchul2262 You must be building dual blades wrong if you need divine blessing. When you’re against a fireball machine like Fatalis there is only one option:
**ELEMENTAL TANK**
It’s just alatreon set bonuses + velkhana crit element to maximize elem damage while maintaining tankiness. Safi and Frostcraft are still better in terms of DPS but Elemental Tank is much more comfy.
Ya'll ever heard of "dodging? Nah just kidding.
"Most of the footage will be from Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate"
Thank you for proving your credibility.
I kinda like that he doesn't take about World, not because I hate it or anything, but because I never played it, and I came here to hear about things I already knew
@@TheGoldenDunsparce world
its the one he should be talking about the most since thats the most recent one and thats where the franchise is going
@@thesupreme8062 Hm? No no, MHGU isn't the most recent. It came out in March 2017 in Japan, and World came out Dec 2017 worldwide. GU did release outside Japan a year later, but it's still considered "older" than World despite this :(

I'm just fishing for whetfish stones and a rajang theme starts playing...
Rajang leave us alone we just are fishing!
My friend : "Monster hunter? What do you do in that?"
Me : *Staring menacingly at him for like 20 seconds while the camera zooming in slowly*
Me with almost 1000 cumulative hours in MH: hmm how interesting, I should watch this!
Those are rookie number, gotta bump those numbers up. I have more than that in Tri alone, it's a shame I rarely ever get to talk about MH.
@@shanemacmillan5732 maybe you should keep quiet if all you got is useless boasting
@@lorenzoniccoli99ln, if I were trying to boast, I would have put the exact amount of time I've totaled in my own personal comment to reach the most people to inflate my ego that way, I was making a joke. I would normally offer to explain the self-deprecating joke, but you'd probably take that as an insult too. And speaking of 'useless', with 1000 hours of MH experience, willing clicked on and watched a 15 minute long video on a series you clearly would already know about TO THEN go into the comments and share your anecdotal experience with the series in (and I can't stress this enough) the vaguest positive way a human could, giving ZERO detail on your actual experience other than what could be extrapolated from that you kept coming back, for the purposes of a joke. You did that, and then told me to stop doing useless things. I might be doing useless things, but at least I'm no hypocrite.
@@shanemacmillan5732 Right? I've spent so much time on the MH series and yet I rarely get to talk about the series with people. Feelsbadman
@@lorenzoniccoli99ln I'll do some useless boasting: I have over 13,000 hours in MHW/MHW;I alone.
Ha! My life is the least exciting and has the least going on!
It’s hard to remember the time when no one knew what a monster hunter Was and you were stuck trying to convince your friends to give it a try😓
I still do, I convinced 3 of my friends a few years ago, now we occasionally play gen ult together and we're all pre ordering rise
It's a pity my first MH gameplay was on emulator 😣
@YoStefan My friend Hunted a great jagras in MHW and then Stopped playing MHW 😥
I just did. Used to solo everything but convinced friends to try it. On the plus side, I now get to play with all my monster hunter addicted friends now. The downside is that my productivity level is basically 0.
@@datlamahorn
Same except he used defender weapons and complained about monsters running away😒
Just seeing the entire progress of one of my favorite game series explained with such humor and how the community developed makes me proud of being one of the people that started with MH on the ps2.
I really love your style of presentation ^^
Thanks! I really love Monster Hunter too, so I had to make the video real good :)
I played the ps2 one too!
"Most hunts take about 10 minutes"
me- .... yeah. Definitely took me 10 minutes and definitely not an hour.
don't feel bad, it usually takes me a half hour to solo and elder dragon in g-rank mhgu
Low rank : yhea
High rank : if you are God, maybe
G rank : never
This post is inspired in mh4u whit insect glaive (is fuking op dps)
This should be in the US education system. This is essential for life.
Agreed
I LOVE the way the veterans take noobies under their wing and teach them how to play like an apprentice.
I had someone teach me back when MH3U came out. I mastered the game back in MH4U. And I took on my own protégé in MHW.
He's now as skilled as any G-Rank hunter out there and I can't wait to play MHR with him!
I'm on the opposite end. I play games by myself so I wish it was more single player friendly. But my gf really like this series so she like everyone in this MH cult tries to get everyone in existance into this MH mlm. I never playe dmuch with friends before so I wanna be good before I play with them cus I don't think anyone likes to play with someone letting them down. I just wish it was more single player friendly and better at teaching the player. Cus I don't think anyone likes to play with someone letting them down. I'm 20 hours in and I still don't know how to play. Games have gotten really good at interweaving tutorials with gameplay to the point where it doesn't take a tutorial. It has endless textboxes which I have long forgotten about cus I don't learn by reading. Even with fighting games you can figure out by playing to have fun and get started if you don't want to spend boring time spend int he training mode. I just want to play by myself. No need for other people and everyone says go to youtube to learn. But I find that to be.... cheating. I don't want to use TH-cam or have another person lecture me and telling me how to learn something. It's quite embarrassing having someone see you fail. It's not the learning curve which is difficult it is how it is communicated to the player. Like memorising the answer to a test.
There are so many way to make learning how to play engaging I just wish it was more single player friendly and better at teaching the player, so someone else doesn't have to because I like playing in a bubble, just me and the game since I have a life and don't have time to spend 'learning' the game where I shouldn't need external resources to even get started. And it should be a good things since wouldn't the developer want more people to be invested by playing. The longer a player spends lost the less likely they will enjoy the game. Think about how many peopel dropped it cus they didn't know what the hell was going on like me if I don't figure out how to play some time soon and make my gf very angy since I criticised the game after playing for 4 hours. I got through the text boxes started a quest and hated it and made me feel shit cus I was so lost and helpless. I dunno why the developer hasn't caught on yet like every other one. I should need friends, other people or experts just to play a game.
I don't know why so many games get shit on for not teaching how to play like Sonic Riders for example but MH gets a pass.
O.k that Attack on TItan joke and The Fashion
Hunter made me jiggle....
What is monster hunter:
You see that thing in front of you? He just lost his living privileges
I haven't played Monster Hunter, BUT IT HAS ANIMAL CROSSING SO I'M OBLIGATED
It’s awesome
My favorite game series ever.
Best series ever
youd be pleased to know,,,, animal crossing (at least new leaf) has monster hunter in it lol they had a crossover felyne villager
@@kaiiizen8626 mhgu I think also had Isabelle as a felyne
The weapon designs in the series are *chef's kiss" Magnificent. I've literally killed almost 100 Brachydios in GU because I want all of its weapons.
Yeah!! I love the explosive Brach Dual Blades, I think I used them for most of High Rank in Gen
"I am carving respectively"
One week left till Rise comes out. I recently started my journey as a Hunter, about 8 months ago, with my first game being Generations Ultimate on the switch. I then went on to World + Iceborne, and I have become obsessed with the series. Now me and my hunting buddies are waiting for Rise to drop so we can finally experience the latest game all together. I love everything about this series. The fighting mechanics, the music, the design, everything about it is top notch and shows that a lot of love and care went into these games. If you haven’t tried Monster Hunter, I implore you, please give this series a try, it’s so much fun.
When everyone here has at least played 3-4 games.
jokes on you ive only played stories and even then im only at gildegaran, i just wanted to know about the rest of the series at a base level
You’ve waited a long time to make your love for MH truly show, huh?
"Pokémon is anime dog fighting" that's the best sentence of the year.
I've never wanted to play monster hunter more than I do right now. Also, good job on the Dire Dire Trap Mix.
looking forward to embracing a new era of Astronaut Actually Making Videos He Wants To
I cant believe it took me so long to find your channel. Fantastic writing and editing, these videos are incredible
LBG: just like the HBG, but smaller.
HBG: just like the LBG, but bigger.

This video makes me so happy! Thank you, Captain, for explaining the series in the most entertaining way possible :D
You've earned a new sub. Great video. Good script. Comedy isn't very forced. Not over-edited unlike other MH videos out there.
Good stuff my dude. I am thoroughly entertained.
To anyone who reads this:
If you’ve played MHW from 2018-2020 and played online.
There was a small chance you might’ve joined my quest and to you, I just wanna say
Thank you all for the fun Games we played, without ya’ll I would’ve NEVER been able to beat the game alone. You all helped me along the journey and have given me good laughs with the characters comments in game like when pinned by a monster lmao
May this game’s community be forever blessed. I’ve never once seen such a community be so cooperative & friendly.
Thank you all.
Love your humor and editing skills, keep it up!
This is an incredible introduction to the series and very well paced throughout! Def will show my friends to help get them into Rise. Cheers! :D
I just realized that the first Dah’ren Mohran in MH4U is the most realistic depiction of what an Elder Dragon can do (it just moving around and breaching caused a sandstorm in its wake), and why we actually hunt them (it was headed straight for Val Habar, going any further in the cutscene would’ve completely leveled the place)
early gathering quest in mhfu: get 10 popo tonuges
me, a newbie at that time: HA easy quest
tigrex: allow me to introduce myself
Hahaha. That actually made me quit the game for a year. Still I love fighting Tiggy
"The fight usually takes about 10 minutes"
*Me sitting there for 30 minutes not knowing what im supposed to do in the first quest of the demo*
New MH player via Rise, and I really love your videos! Thanks so much! Great humor and It makes getting into the game much easier!
I literally almost spat out my tea when you shouted the power of the lord. This is such a quality introduction to me to play Monster Hunter Now. I feel like I've been in the room the whole time. Thank you.
Amazing video, perfectly explained, I just remembered the olden days where I played the old games like mhfu, that's really nostalgic
purrfect video! sums up mh REALLY well !!!
The Hunting Horn has always been one of my favorite weapons in gaming. It's basicly like a big ass hammer you beat the enemy in the face with to knock them out while also providing buffs and heals to everyone.
You've got me with this vid, definitely subscribing
just got youtube algorithm'd into this channel but I gotta say I love the style, can't wait for more MH content and whatever other games you're feeling like working on!
Awesome! I also got into the series with 4U!
Wow! Thanks for information! I only heard about this game from my friend when i was a kid! Thank you very much bro 👍
YEAAAAAAAAAAA ONE OF MY FAVORITE CREATORS TALKING ABOUT ONE OF MY FAVORITE FRANCHISES. I really hope I get to hunt with you in the future!
I already left a comment on this but I was told to leave another one so i'm leaving another one
Hey, can you leave another comment?
Recently found your channel and I'm really enjoying your unique sense of humor. It's nice to see a creative channel with TH-cam humor being as repetitive and dull as it is.
I'm literally gonna follow you for the sheer fact your humor is amazing but this video is great too lmao
I got into monhun with 4u cause I read about the fishing minigame and animal crossing crossover stuff. Playing it I was like “Woah, theres some cool boss battles in between these fishing sessions!”
Since then I’ve loved seeing the series evolve with its new mechanics and creatures, I’m trying to beat MHW:Icebourne before Rise comes out and that hub area is seriously a treat. Happy monhun month and great vid like always Capt.
3:38 no no let's talk about the magnet spike that weapon is super cool capcom please I just want frontier in the west...
Frontier shut down in December 2019 even in Japan so RIP it’s not coming out anywhere anymore
my first experience with monster hunter was the final fantasy xiv crossover (for the uninitiated, there is a battle instance where you go in with 8 players ((the "extreme" version makes you only go in with 4)) and halfway through the fight you're forced to only use potions to heal rather than your healers.) oh, and, once you defeat him you gather scales from his corpse to craft cosmetic gear and, if you hate yourself, farm it for scales to turn in for a mount version of rathalos. but jeez! i didn't realize just how much of a love letter it was to the game it comes from!!!
this video, i think, was the final little push i needed. the gameplay loop just sounds damn fun-- it's constant progression, which i adore. and man, you're always keeping up with the killer editing and on-beat jokes. looking forward to the mh related videos this month! :D
As a monster hunter series veteran and also veteran of ffxiv when the collab came out during stormblood it was almost like uncanny his attacks are basically identical to world so if you can fight a rathalos in monster hunter you know what attacks to expect in ffxiv and vice versa even though the style of game is so drastically different they made it translate so well into ffxiv. Monster hunter world also got behemoth as part of the crossover with xiv as well and cactuars as capturable pets in the maps and a big ol kulu ya ku chicken holding an aetheryte absorbing power and growing larger and being immune to status effects.
Astronaut your an awesome content creator with a variety of different video games you like to play
The "hunting" part of Monster Hunter could be better. From what I understand World is probably the closest we have gotten (unable to play during its relevant years due to PC trouble) with investigations and scout flies, though even then that could use some work. Maybe a system in which prior knowledge is rewarded with bonuses or as you track it becomes easier to deduce where the monsters are instead of following the bug bread crumb trail.
You’re quickly becoming one of my favorite you tubers
This video is unironically a pretty good summary of what Monster Hunter is😄
Hey I started with 4 Ultimate too! I have trouble summing up the game for my friends so this video will come in handy!
"What do you do in Monster Hunter?"
"Are you serious?"
but astronaut, you forgot the most important part of the switch axe, the part where it EXPLODES. Also, ice balloon shark is the best monster, but pandemic dragon takes a close second.
Monster Hunter is a game where you hunt monsters. 😊
OMFG yes!!!! Please tell me this means you're going to be adding some Monster Hunter content when Rise comes out!!! I'm constantly watching your Splatoon vids because I love your humor! I would love to see how you show MH content!!!
I'm so lost, but at the same time so entertained thanks to your evenly spread puns
Iight iight this dude funny af i am sold and subscribed! Btw Greatsword you could have said "if you wanted to be Cloud and Long Sword for those who want to be Sephiroth the guy who will hit everything and everyone friend or foe" i also think of MH as constant boss battles with a side of grinding
Dude that video is perfect 😂😂 loved it !
Thanks for the video Sir. I am new to the franchise as I am interested in monster hunter rise. As I first played monster hunter stories(the spin off game that happened).
So this will be my first main-lime monster hunter game
I've watched this 7 times now. This now my favorite MH analysis vid
Best weapon description I have heard
I resigned myself to not getting Rise. But then I killed Mistizune or however you spell it in the demo on my 5th try. I’m hooked. I preordered the deluxe edition just to be able to collect as much as I can.
Great review. Would've been cool if you talk more about the elder dragons.
Won’t lie I wasn’t too intrigued before but you have definitely caught my interest 👀
Mission Accomplished hehehe
i remember when i was a kid playing mhfu, i was literally asking all of my friends if they played too. Unfortunately none of them did but i still had the best memories cause i got to play with my brother and i think this game made us bond really well
You win a subscriber with the ultimate choice Kirby images
I shared this on Facebook with my friends just in case any of them were ever interested in the series but never knew what it was. Well done
Man how many hours did you put into this?
It’s fricking GOLD
Have a sub!
great explanation of monster hunter! can't wait for monster hunter rise to come out!
awesome video! I'm actually blown away :D
"you know a game is dope, because it has a fishing minigame in it " can I quote you on that.
My favorite thing about the games is that they give you a quest and its up to you how you get it done, you can do the same quest over and over and make it different every time.
"just wait until the DLC fire death or some shit comes out" this man legit predicted sunbreak
4:56 I saw a frame of the Switch logo then immediately got an Axe ad before seeing more Axe pictures and getting confused
Oh man, this video has the DK + Sephiroth song AND the Dire Dire Docks + WAP? What a video!
You almost brought me to tears. I am a veteran hunter since MH FREEDOM.
Damnnnnn....
Lmao😂😂😂
Ur vid was very informative and entertaining at the same time.
Well done n thanks😆👍
I first tried this game in generations for the 3ds and I've been hooked ever since the fights, the feeling of accomplishment, the personality, if you've never played these games before I highly recommend you give them a try my personal recommendation is monster hunter world due to it being the best feeling to control
Great transitions, witty jokes, nice pacing, good overview of mh...
You have gained this random internet person's star of approval! Well done and good job!
Thanks! 😃
I started at World so pretty late and played it on and off started getting into it when I learned Charge Blade been playing Rise since launch been enjoying the hell put of it only weapon I use is my trusty CB and might never find a weapon that I love more than it ❤️
I see the channel's transformation has begun.
MONSTA HUNTA MAAAARCH!!
Started all the way back in MHFU, my buddies and I saw this game for the first time and thought that we should try it out for the heck of it. This game has managed to keep its identity, while adding smaller features to make them just a bit more unique. The fact that you have hundreds of hours worth of content, and a ton of skill checks makes this game worth every damn cent. We preordered Rise, and we plan on starting from the very bottom again.
Lets go my favorite video game series.
I will always remember that collect abyssal mushrooms qurst
What is the music like?
Amazing...and Khezu has the best music ever constant screaming
on a whim i searched for an explanation of monster hunter series. I am glade i found this.
I'm giving this video an A+ and you're gonna Accept it.
Damn bro u makes me feels want hunt mores monster lets go!!!!
People who started with MHFU gang rise up
Oh man, the memories! Busted many a PSP thumbstick.
