@@georgewagner1564 assuming you bring a full stack of 20 (and really, you might as well), I'd honestly be very confused and concerned if you somehow managed to run out of whetstones mid-hunt without actively wasting or discarding them. And even then, as I mentioned, there's a couple gathering points in every map where you can get more, or you can even fish for Whetfish, which serve the same purpose. *And* the supply box can also provide them. Honestly, there is no good excuse for running out of them, ever, unless you outright forget to bring them in the first place, and then there's still the methods I just mentioned to replenish them.

World was awesome but it's end game was incredibly lacking. World will be a VERY important step for the series that we will better come to appreciate in the next few years but for this moment in time, the breadth of content on offer with GU is VERY appealing right now. I prefer variety over graphics and "quality of life" but just play which one suites you best... Or both

[@louisduthoit7466]

If the first DLC for world is foccused on expending the end game it will be perfect.

[@dark666105]

What I am looking forward to is the next MH game after world that is portable. As I would hope it would keep the fluidity of World with the breadth of the other MH games. The other MH games always felt stilted to me compared to world.

[@TrueHavoc13]

Note for greatswords who started in world. Generations does not have true charge or tackle. You have regular charge and strong charge. This makes crit draw a lot more viable than it was in world

[@tenthshadow3764]

[@keithsimpson2685]

Crit draw works with the Katana attacks though which is neat.

[@OGXenos]

@@ramoo8996 The nerf came with the addition of tackle though, which I find much more valuable. 9/10 times tackling through a monster is both more effective and more fun than simply running around, drawing, attacking, sheathing then running away again.

It's definitely a bit of a shock going back to MHGU. I love remembering how things used to be in MH and I still find the old mechanics fun in places! I also love the huge roster of monsters. But I can't deny the great quality of life changes in MHW...don't forget those paintballs!

[@JackgarPrime]

For me the big one would be the gathering changes. Going back and getting the reminder of "Oh yeah that's right, I have to stop and wait to gather mushrooms"

[@WolfyMelon]

@@JackgarPrime Yes and even the ones you forget such as timing your potion taking because of the flexing!

[@JackgarPrime]

Oh don't you worry, I never let myself forget about potions. Funny thing is, there are times when the classic pause and flex method is actually more useful. Namely, when you need to heal very very quickly. The old method has the healing happen instantly, with the downside of leaving yourself open during the animation. So it's not necessarily worse, just different.

[@slugooey]

I can't even imagine what it's like starting in World and then going to GU. My cousin has a buddy that saw me playing MHGU and he literally went "Oh my god, she's playing the old school Monster Hunter!" It blows my mind how many people became our fellow hunters through that game. That's why I love World. But for me, I think the changes that came after 4U were major game changers. New hunters, know that until pretty recently, mounting wasn't even a thing! Back in Tri and even earlier, we had to just keep poking it! 😂 I'm so glad to see how far we've all come and how we've remained united. Not many gaming communities are as diverse and friendly as ours, even if it's not perfect. And language barriers are barely even a thing! It's amazing.

[@Gunther69420]

I tried some MH Games when I was very young and back then I wasn't someone who would play a game like that. But I preordered World and loved it. Started playing MHGU a while ago and need to say that it often feels better than World, even tho it is clunkier. World seems so easy compared to MHGU.

[@notthatgerry]

Oh, and dont forget the submarine fights in the tri version. I need those comming back.

[@justinmoraal4764]

Man, it was a giant change for me, it didn't take long to adjust though, i have only played MHW and MHGU and I love them both equally for two totally different reasons. I remember several years ago before I ever heard about MH, my friend lent me one of his games for me to try out, it didn't seem like the kind of game I would play but later, MHW came out and I decided to give it a try, it felt like a completely different game. once I tried MHGU, I enjoyed it a lot more than when I tried one of the older styles of MH before. MHW seems like a better game for people just getting into the game.

It's so weird watching this now in the context of Rise coming out soon with elements of both games. Back to having separate solo and multi-player quests, but loading zones are still gone. Can't move nearly as fast while drinking a potion as you can in world, but you can still go back to camp and restock at any time

I had no problems going from world to generations on 3DS, then again my first Monster Hunter is Tri but I was Noob 10 yr old when I played Tri and I raged quit it once I got to the Gigginox, Didn't play another Monster Hunter game until World came out.

[@XeroChilll]

Honestly the main thing I feel when I look at these is an overall mood of "but why though." I don't have any problems with new systems of mechanics, it's just that seeing so many important QoL changes gone just makes me think "okay, but why didn't they fix this." Maybe because the Japanese game industry works differently or handheld games typically don't get patches or hotfixes, either way it feels kinda lazy, imo

[@MiraSmit]

The flexing motion is quicker than the gradual heal from potions at least without speed eating + You can go to a different loading zone....

For as pretty as World is, I can't say it left much of a lasting impression on me. The QoL changes are a huge convenience, but that sort of streamlining and convenience wasn't ever what I wanted out of MH.

[@Edge9404]

Well World is a brand new game. And the A-Team that made all your favorite MHs is working in World so expect some Batshit insane stuff in the G-Rank expansion. Rajang and Tigrex in World would be so amazing. Imagine Rajang hanging from the vines in Ancient Forest throwing logs at you.

The things mentioned here also show the little things that gave older MH it's own little character and charm, such as waving to a hot air balloon to help you track a monster. And like Arekkz said, the weapons and armor look soooooo much cooler too! Oh, and the gunners (especially the Bow) feels so much better in my opinion, and also a lot more challenging because you have a different armor set as a gunner.

[@abraxasALP]

Generations Ultimate has the larger, more diverse roster. That's a fact. It starts slow, yes, but that's because MH is a hard game, it needed to start that way for a newcomer to learn such a punishing-restrictive but awesome gameplay. In time you'll be fighting leviathans, unicorns, raptors, wyverns, wolves, mammoths, dinosaurs, european dragons, asian dragons, mountainous dragons that actually attack you, krakens, giant spiders, giant insects, giant crabs, whale-crocodiles and maybe even something more human-created-like-thingy. Without a doubt MHW seems lacking in monsters, maps and weapon/armor designs... (can't deny it when in past games if you needed a specific elemental weapon you could actually choose between a decent amount) but really that's it. In any other way it is the evolution, the "better game". Even gameplaywise, it appears to have taken some inspiration from Styles and Arts and added them to the norm. I like to imagine what would be of MHW2 or any kind of sequel... just GREATNESS. Meanwhile, GUs massive content and colour and World's technicalities and continuous additions should suffice.

[@AlshepType]

I've played and 100% every single Monster Hunter game since the very first entry on PS2 but it's seriously hard to go from World to Gen Ultimate. World has so many quality of life improvements that the series needed since its very first game. Yeah World lacks in monsters and there's no G Rank (although I bet Capcom will add it in the form of an expansion or inevitably World Ultimate). Honestly not only is Gen Ultimate a Directors Cut of an almost 5+ year old game if you count XX release but it just feels like several steps backwards from World. If honestly playing a clunkier version of a game makes you feel more of a "veteran" go ahead but if the next true iteration of Monster Hunter goes back from World I won't be buying it.

[@donloder1]

finally, I've gone tired of scrolling down through the few 'load more comments' only to see these vets throwing shades on those who started on world. Like, okay I get it you been with the series since game one, I don't have that opportunity don't be a pain.

[@abeld94]

@@donloder1 it's nostalgia. I played older MH but hey World is full of improvements. Yeah sure Ultimate has more weapons, armors, monsters, items, but people think that World only focused on graphics. Hell no.

[@Minmataro718]

AlshepType More monsters, maps, weapons, armor and ways to play is a big deal. Its not about picking a lesser game to seem hardcore. Its about playing the superior monster hunter game depth wise. Even you can't disagree with MHGU depth over world even if you like quality of life changes while sacrificing depth of play some of us dont want that.

[@Minmataro718]

AE Lafuente The only reason to play world is to battle monsters and build weps and armor... if MHGU offers more its the better game. Graphics and making things easier for lazy people doesnt make world better.

[@Kaiji...]

I'm hoping this is on sale tomorrow. World is one of my favourite games of all time & I want to get into an older game before playing Rise. I'm not too fussed about anything but fighting monsters... In games like Dark Souls I usually get so focused in Zen mode that I forget to look at their HP and always end up killing them way quicker than I expect & being kinda underwhelmed, so MH games seen to fit that long length full-focus battles that I enjoy.

[@lubbo5261]

Generations Ultimate is on sale right now.

@@lubbo5261 Thanks, but I already found a 50% off pre-owned physical copy in my local store last month. I also bought physicals of MH3U & MH4U as well. I'm 50 hours in & Lance really clicked with me, but I've been playing Elden Ring so I haven't played it in a couple of weeks.

[@Kaiji...]

@@helligevaar Sorry, I haven't played anything since Elden Ring. I'm going to continue soon. It feels clunky at first, but once a weapon clicks with you it gets addicting. You start to feel the flow of battle & destroy the monsters (like counter thrusting with lance). Just when you think it's peaked BOOM Hunter Art special moves to lay the hurt, and it isn't a free power-up, you still gotta aim & position yourself for a maximised attack, or skip that entirely and use a more supportive hunter art rather than a power move. I've liked MHW/MHGU/Iceborne so much that I now own MH3U, MH4U & Rise as well.

[@mfbandit7930]

[@stevenlodge6570]

Also to note that he did not cover, head gear is the exception to that rule. You can wear a gunner head with the blade master armor if you need that extra point in a skill, but you sacrifice a bit of defense, and vice versa

[@lethanglong6979]

But then can you wield any gun or melee weapon at all? Since the prequel didnt let you wear the type of armor that doest fit with each other?

[@Banana-cc5rx]

tbh the qol changes in World make it hard for me to go back to the old MH format now. But it's not like I own a switch anyways Really hope capcom will focus on updating content for world instead of just being a one time game with a few dlcs :/

[@Swagodactyll]

I'm guessing from now on they will be working off of the world template rather than the old one. World is what the devs have always dreamed of monster hunter becoming, especially if you look at the cutscenes from the older games. They were finally able to implement all the monster interactions and mechanics, and the feeling of actually tracking the monster they've always wanted. And they said in an interview they were very excited to fully utilize the dlc system on consoles and pc they weren't ever able to have, so I'm hoping they might even do a G-Rank dlc rather than the usual new game for G-Rank like they usually do.

[@Banana-cc5rx]

@Chuck Nourrizzz that's 40 for you btw. And it has way lesser content compared to it's prequels at the expense of it's graphics.

[@sunnycastform6864]

As a Backpeddler (aka. started with World, then started on GU), my feeling on the weapon controls is thus: In World, the majority of the weapons feel like swinging a cardboard box filled with ball bearings. Flimsy, and not much of an impact apart from certain attacks. In GU, it's either like gently brushing a feather duster across an angry owl's face or it's like trying to tip over a refrigerator while planning where the monster will be next Tuesday.

[@darkshadowlord]

The quick list for reference: 1. Quest Structure: Village vs Hub and the Single/Multiplayer Split 2. Map zones: No more open world 3. Time your heals: The Monster Hunter Flex 4. Prep Before your Quest: No tent or canteen on the hunt 5. Tracking Monsters: Paintballs... 6. Gathering: Slow and bring pickaxes and nets... ugh... 7. Monster Aggro: They always hate you 8. Armor Skills: Threshold of 10 to activate, more for stronger versions, decos are craftable instead of charms 9. Blademaster vs Gunner Armor sets: These terms actually mean something. Also Transmog! 10. Weapon Differences: Goodbye fluidity, hello styles and arts 11. Weapon Sharpness: I know what you're thinking: "Did he swing six times or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. And don't forget your whetstones. 12.More Cats: The Fifteenth Weapon

[@Boulder7685]

Nintendo kid who could never get into old Monster Hunter games until World came out and I binged the heck out of it with my MH Vet friends on Xbox. I still think MHW is simply a better game, but as every one of my controllers have dead zones and I don’t feel like replacing them for $50 pre-owned each, along with the now dry well of MHW content as many note, MHGU on my Switch gives me the chance to experience the old games people love so much and play them on a comfortable portable and home console. It feels like playing Ocarina or Majora after finishing BotW and it makes for a fun experience in its own right, even if not due to version superiority.

[@Oskuro_]

[@Syazwi_Syahmi]

4:00 That armor/outfit looks badass..

[@clockwork204]

I like the mission structure in MHW. But I just can't help but feel the randomized investigations are a bit lazy. In the older games, the quests are tailor made to provide various types of challenges using different hand-picked modifiers and map scripts. Not to mention hunt-a-thons are the most satisfying things ever, especially when playing solo.

[@TurKlack]

I really hope they bring the underwater fights back. MH Tri for the wii was the first mh i played. I really miss the more difficult and different underwater fights

[@crozraven]

Tbh, I really would prefer if CAPCOM also release MHGU on PC, PS4, XBOXONE like MHW. Therefore Veterans & newcomers will have both options. I really doubt it will create a clash of sales between both games. In fact, both games might boost the sales of each other 'cause more people will experiences MH series as a whole.

[@awesomesauce5974]

Not going to happen. Not when there are Nintendo themed weapons and armor in the game.

[@derekgonzalezmercado513]

Also the game was made with data transfer from the 3ds in mind since mhg was only for 3ds and there was a function to transfer your save data to the next game

[@roddy116]

Problem with that is that Japanese games have a tendency to be super console exclusive. Hell its a miracle the world got released the same time in America with two consoles.

[@sow_scout4989]

Here's the thing, a lot of the veterans bought a console for MH. Many played on the 3DS. I am not saying that people will buy a Switch for this, although some definitely will. However! The Switch is selling reallllly well, to the point that I think many veterans probabably already owned a Switch even before MHGU was confirmed to be localized. I could he wrong, but luckily for me, I am one of those that already own a Switch and bought MHGU day 1.

One thing that was missed is the map. It's seen multiple times, and I'm sure people can put the numbers together so it's a minor thing.

I recently bought a nintendo switch and wanted to go back to MH with childhood friends. I saw reviews about how GU is not a good game, but now I see that a lot of players are used to world. GU is the MH I am used to playing back in the PS2 and the PSP. Thank you for the video now I understand the reviews.

[@maysen51]

Um mhw also has aggro it depends entirely on the monster like rathlos he will aggro if he walks by u in clear sight there are also a few more mhw just tries to be abit realistic with aggro as every monster shouldn’t always have an immediate aggressive nature also another thing to note is some monsters will aggro you immediately if you are in their main territory like diablo he aggro me quite a lot when he spotted me..

[@lethanglong6979]

Uh? Aggro monster is actually a huge part of MH since day 1. In Aggro mode,monster had more power in attack and the whole skill that it has turns into something that really hard to dodge,unless you had killed it for at least 3 times.

[@lethanglong6979]

And the immediate aggro,well,welcome to our world again my bro.just like the time that i gotta fight a Rathian in MH3U. One step into the territory which were having its eggs and after 3 seconds,the first thing i realized was half of my health bar gone becaus of the monster's "Aggro"

We may not have all the QoL, but we sure have months worth of content and variety, to the point where even the same weapon can feel like a completely different beast by just changing style. Adept-Dives straight through oblivion, just to emerge unscathed and punishing the enemy with a power move? Yes, please.Being a cute little cat that is an expert not only at gathering without items, but also dish out damage that seems surreal at times? Welcome to Prowler Mode. And now finally with a proper controller and a big screen once again. N3DS was fun, but boy did that tiny screen and the "C-Stick" tire me out after weeks of play...

[@Quonchon]

I started with mh3 and i think what i like the most about MHW is that the universe feels more coherent and realistic. No loading screens between areas goes a long way. Base game is lacking in end game content but Iceborn fixed it.

[@sarry_hi]

the multiplayer in mh nowdays is so unpersonal, most of the player just rush trough the mission without any conversation, i don't understand the dumb 16 player sever, you never interact with the people and in the hunt randoms join you, so the server have absolutley no purpose. The older system is the best you can make 4 such a game. You must choose a server or make a own one, but only 3 other people can join you and you have to communicate to make quest choices. In my 300 hrs in mhw i never ever talkt to one person

[@issaltarkorimara1376]

Quick heads up, you left out some slightly important information with the armors. You left out the standard gunner sets typically have higher elemental resistances than blade master armors. Not by much for those new guys reading, typically it’s 1 point higher, but it is one of the things you do get with gunner sets. They are typically higher in elemental resistances but lower in physical res.

[@Ergeniz]

Is it worth noting, since that is actually something that got carried over to world. World just applies the resistance based on whether you're using a short-ranged weapon or long-ranged one so in effect that has not changed.

And now, if you go back to GU, it'll all be gone...*sniff*

[@smartguyjaja]

Its good its not in gu. I thought the ability to change armor, access item box and eat at camp were the most ridiculously easy things they could add to the game. It kills the variety in playstyles as people can now just switch to the most optimal build all the time. Back then we had this saying that 80% of the hunt was the preperation and this was too true. People are much less reckless in the older monster hunters and much more careful with their resources because once you used something up that was it unless you had things in the field to craft them again. In world you can use up everything willy nilly and not give a damn cause it'll take you about 30 seconds to get back to camp and fill it all back up

[@wamengxiong0409]

Another big tip for gathering is that Prowlers do NOT need items (pickaxes, bug nets, etc) to gather, so I recommend using them if you need to stockpile items.

[@Ergeniz]

I still prefer my hand-dandy tree in World. This is supposed to be Monster Hunter not a farm simulator; I never liked that about the old games.

[@Chreis_Art]

@@Ergeniz You do know that all the old MH games have a trader that operates exactly like the tree in World but with more items you can duplicate, right?

[@Ergeniz]

I'm more referring to the various pick-axes, longer animations and such when gathering manually. Yes I know you can cut down on that with prowlers. And its still somewhat annoying in World - your character does a stupid 'eureka' animation when they mine a 'rare' material from bones or mining points which was novel the first couple of times and now I wish you could turn it off. It seriously irritates me now. "I got a 500th dragonvein crystal....big fucking deal".
