What's the title of your review for Monster Hunter World? I'm trying to look for it 😅 not a fan of World either since they made the decorations RNG and the talismans as craftable.

[@SuperRADLemon]

@@CrayonConoisseur I didn't really review it but it's called Monster Hunter vs. The World

[@babayaga4320]

I think the game is at It's strongest when you take on a monster solo, which might be an unpopular opinion. I do really enjoy playing the game with others though, there is just something about learning the moves of a monster when It's only focused on you and taking it down that for me personally is the most fulfilling aspect of MH.

[@edgyweeeb5334]

[@ffxfoerever]

I'm looking to start MHW with a friend or two soon but I played MHFU and MH on the 3ds alone and loved every moment. I remember being frustrated but I also remember those fights being so rewarding once I figured out how to solo monsters :) I'm sure playing with friends will be fun but I am going to dip my toes into solo hunts haha

[@songbird6414]

I’d say this is true, until you get to G Rank. After a while G Rank just becomes draining to solo. It’s fun for a bit when learning a monster, but farming and progressing is almost impossible to enjoy.

[@oneeyemonster3262]

@@gyuuu1330 I started 2 weeks ago but I've been playing Dragon Dogma...it's almost the same sort of combat mechanics. Both games are made by Capcom. Some dragons even behave the same. I just have more variety weapons/vocations to play with, now. Im used to having daggers/magic bow or Magic Knight..and JUMPING/SCALING during Combat..That's why I use the Glaive. Im deadly with it...that's all the monster runs when they smell me.lol it's hard for me to play games LESS jumping during combat. You basically do same sort of collecting drops from dragons..ect to upgrade your weapons/armor. Collect different plants..ect to craft. You need certain elements to defeat certain monsters...You can wack all day long using to most powerful swore in dragon dogma..but it'll barely do damage to the final boss.lmao

Of the friends I played with I still have one, and he and I still find time to play at least a few hours a month. We ran through Iceborne and will start on Rise. I'm really glad the series is so much more popular now, it looks like it won't be going anywhere and future iterations are sure to come. Love the channel, man! All this content is awesome!

I found out about Monster Hunter through a mod for the game Ark: Survival Evolved which added many monsters from the series to the game. This was before World released and that became my first Monster Hunter game. Since then I've gone back and played through the games I missed out on! Honestly I'm surprised I never knew about the series beforehand! It's right up my alley and I absolutely adore the series now that I've found it!

[@chancegivens9390]

Huh same here, who'da thunk it

[@ouropharaoh]

Bro that’s crazy, that’s literally identical to what I did. Found out about it through an Ark mod, played world, and went back and played the older games. Rn I’m having tons of fun with 3U since I got it’s online to work through emulation.

[@triplex5540]

the story behind me starting monster hunter feels like a major lesson to me, my father bought me monster hunter world as a gift. I never heard of the games and didn’t even know if I’d like game, but because he went out of his way to buy it for me I gave it a try. Some years later my father is sadly no longer with me and I have over a thousand hours between mhw,mhr and mhgu. Don’t be so quick to judge things, you never know if you could really like it.

[@LoveSickWorld]

I am really impressed with how monster hunter 1 immediately nailed the animations and feel of monster hunter that hardly went unchanged since then, hell the game graphically looks like some of the best on Ps2 as well, that jungle environment looks awesome. Can’t help but to feel cheated at the same time though…they must have constantly reused the same stuff for decades.

[@bigvidboi4909]

if it works why change it

[@WarriorofSunlight]

MH1 up through FU was basically an expanded version of the same game each time. 3rd generation is where they started trying something different. 3U is still one of my all-time favorite games. I love 2nd gen, but 3rd gen on is where the series truly starts to shine in my eyes.

[@liviekumori]

It was and still is very unique, always keeping it's charm

[@realkingofantarctica]

Monster Hunter has always been one of my favourite series after I discovered 3 Ultimate years ago, and I'm glad it's getting the popularity and recognition it deserves in recent years.

[@dylstarling8649]

My first game was Tri and I probably had the most fun and nostalgia with that one, I remember being stuck on No Guts, No Glory fort so long because I was scared shitless of Lagiacrus, it was playing the game online that got me passed it, something about playing with other people made the game a bit more accessible in the beginning, and there's just so many memories of that time, Loc Lac is my favourite hub next to Pokki and Moga. Some time after I got Freedom Unite and played the hell out of it, but never got to play online so it was a solo run, but still fun. Only got 3U on ds so made little progress til years later when my brother got it and we had a big playthrough of it. 4U was weird, the fastest I ever got through a MH game online and offline and the least hesitant I was with new monsters, in some ways I'm fond of it, but it was the start of me falling out of the series. Still got Gen and GenU though because my brother insisted we play them together, did end up enjoying GenU in the end, it was a nice nostalgia trip. World is fun, but I haven't got into as much since I don't actually own it, I love the updates to the classic game play, but it really feels like what I was expecting 4 to be. Looking forward to Rise, was put off at first, but after playing the demo a few times I'm actually really excited, it helps that there so much praise for gen 3 by the looks of it, feels like it's all coming full circle to me xD

[@hiunaut2833]

When fight Zorah for the first time and the theme starts playing, I started tearing up, my nostalgia just flooded and overloaded my brain. This series will always have a very special place in my heart and no other games has come close to make me feel like this. Waiting for Rise to drop on PC so I can smack the new roster with my trusty Greatsword. Happy Hunting Hunters!

It never feels like a rehash or a lazily developed game, but a NEW MH game that anyone can enjoy, whether it be veterans or newbies. It's a series that has aged extremely well.

I just watched it in its entirety in one go. Very accurate description of the whole MH franchise. As a player who started in generation 1 I have to say it is the most consistent series of games I ever witnessed. It has 3 core things that it kept doing across all those years IMO: - Hunting big bad boys with big weaponry - Experimentation - Never truly underdeliver It is my absolute favorite franchise and my favorite gaming community in all of gaming. I hope you are having a blast with your upcoming games and videos man.

[@zawacchi]

Found the perfect video to lead me through my nostalgic journey through the MH series. I grew up in Canada but spent my teenage years in Japan; everyone around me was completely hooked on Portable 3rd. That’s where I got onboard as well, I got Freedom Unite on the Online Store a few years previously but didn’t know how to gather resources so I quit for a while, and the prompts above your head in 3rd definitely helped me out. Love this series, and love this video! Kudos to a fellow MH fan. Thanks for explaining the goodness of these games to the masses. Looking forward to future uploads!!!

I freely admit, I'm an oldschool hunter, I started with MH1 wayyyyy back in the day. BUT I also think that most of the changes World/IB brought to the table made it better. Something something I felt like I fought the monster more than the camera/controls in general. But you put your points together succinctly and even if I didn't agree, I got where you were coming from and it was interesting to listen to As far as my own stupid hot take goes: clutch claw wasn't that bad imo, but maybe that was just because I rly vindictively enjoyed using it to crash monsters face-first into walls, enough that it overrode the part of me that was mad that hitzones were jumbled up to accommodate tenderizing This got rambly but yes!

Great sword is actually the most iconic weapon and has always been the poster weapon except for rise

[@eliravioli]

@@noxccty6200 yeah rise only has it because it was popular on world and rise is the most weeb monster hunter

[@gray8885]

Great sword?????

[@eliravioli]

@@gray8885 long sword is a lot more popular you don't see anyone using GS as much as LS

[@jonahszaro3545]

@@eliravioli nobody uses pikachu, but it’s still the poster child of Pokémon. Great sword is the poster weapon of MonHun.

I don’t know why but MH4 ultimate had a decent story and progression in it and was the only MH game that I payed attention to in the story. I don’t really know what it was, I think that the Gore Magala was just really compelling. That game felt like the peak of their creativity in some way

[@malarspark]

Really enjoyed your video dude. Thanks for all the work you did!

[@crowbrew]

Man, this was incredible! I just watched all of this while chipping away at Rise on PC. Fantastic job

[@thelightbreeze8871]

2:55:45 “but I know what I’m hoping for.”Wow that video aged well

[@mico4u461]

Thanks for the video! Being honest, your videos about the history of mh are not the first I have seen,but they are the best, your videos make my day, see you in the next video and good luck

[@SuperRADLemon]

Yeah I'm THE BEST LETS GO

when i got my first PSP, i was around 10. My parents got it for a chrismas. A friend of mine already had it and i wanted it for a verry long time. When i got it it was like a dream. One day we were in travel, in a foreign country, we entered a little shop, and my parents got me Monster Hunter freedom. Like you i never heard about the game. Boy i spend so much time on this. And one day i eventually lost the console during a car travel, with the game in it. I was SO sad, and furious against myself, because there was no way i got the chance to get an other console and game that i love that much. At my birthday, my parents made me the surprise. They bought me a psp with the new monster hunter freedom unite. I spend a lot of lovely gaming time with this. Thats pretty much how i fell in love for a game for the first time. I dont want to know how much work hours my parent had to do to buy all this, but they just understood my passion for it and made the best present i ever had twice. Thats a golden memory that i will remember if i have the luck to do my kids presents one day.

I started my MH journey in 2005 with MH1 on psp and never stopped playing MH , bought counsels (wii , wii u , 3ds) exclusively just to play MH , man you took me on a wild memory's ride great video thanks ❤

[@Ryio5]

Learning about everything that Iceborne had going on is kinda overwhelming.

[@beepo111]

Even though you had been showing the boot up intro for each console the games were on, I still thought my PS4 was bugging out when you got to the World section. Great video!

[@nathanleyva777]

Thank you for making these videos! These videos are what keep me entertained at work ❤️

[@SuperRADLemon]

Glad you like them!

[@ChaosKnightCMV]

My brother got me involved in MHW and i love it. I love the world and everything about it so thank you for this

[@DJ_GrimDark]

Saving this for later as someone who just got into mh

[@ohwow1809]

i remember playing monster hunter on the ps 2 and being so cool wearing full rathalos armor and using the sword that you can pull out from a log and follow all the series until monster hunter world. it was a super fun game because the village keep changing but pokka village is the one favorite in my heart and all the new moves just make the game more and more fun. ahhhhh i miss playing monster hunter on ps 2, it feels way more fun.

[@fetusdeletus9266]

God I remember being so scared of tigrex back in the day in freedom unite. And the carpal tunnel from the claw grip was worth it.

[@BEATSBYDNVN]

mh4u was my first monster hunter game and its still my favorite

[@-AshrafKhalidAwadNaser]

same. My older brother bought a 3DS and 3 games: super smash bros, Mario party, and you guessed it MH4U. I played all the games enjoyed them, but the one that hooked me the most and made me happy was MH4U. I slayed monsters for hours on end, but with weak armour and weapons because I was around 6-9 I don't remember, but I didn't understand it very well I still enjoyed it tho. A few years later, Here I am 13 years old, addicted to monster hunter rise, and grinding tf out of it.

[@funni_noises]

Same I started with mh4u was a hammer main then and I have been since

[@kobearmstrong3684]

There have been plenty of times where I just been focused solely on Mh and it’s series as a whole some much I have dreams where I’m fighting waves of them and I wake up with a big smile on my face.I’m glad monster hunter came into my life ❤

[@lemonscented2644]

This video is amazing, I "got into" Monster Hunter with Tri Ultimate on the 3DS, being in America I didn't know much about it. Turned out lots of my friends played it already but then I hit some hard times and had no games at all. Times are getting better though and I have a switch and MH: Rise and MH: World on the PS4 (base game only) This video is awesome to be able to have on today and most likely again tomorrow since I know I won't remember it all!

[@tacoenvy]

This is a fantastic video man, well done! I actually didn’t get started playing MH until Tri came out for the Wii. I broke down and bought one just for that game and played the hell out of it, with the Lagiacrus being my favorite Monster. I just recently went back to playing MH World again while waiting for Rise.

[@SuperRADLemon]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@thelytz9806]

World is still my favorite, well Iceborne actually is, but that's a DLC so it's still World. But it's my favorite because of the massive QOL improvements over the previous games, almost all of the new monsters are great, from Nergigante which is now iconic to Zorah Magdaros being the biggest monster since Dalamadur. Just all in all an amazing game

[@oddlygrimm4670]

So my very first monster in the game is rise I've always wanted to play monster Hunter I've never had the chance so I went out and got a switch and bought rise and I completely have fallen in love with everything monster Hunter your channel is one of the first channels I actually followed and learned possibly as much as I could about the series in general I even went back and played gu and world I'm in the middle of world and I'm in the beginning of gu I want to play them all at once but it's so hard to juggle but definitely this series has immediately become one of my absolute favorites and your videos have helped it so much, so much appreciation!

[@Gigachoungus]

Chilled to this while hunting on Rise

[@YuriYumi902]

Nothing would make me happier than after all the stuff for Wilds comes and and we eventually get its expansion that you go over that game as well. I revisit this video and the frontier one quite often. It's like watching a long form documentary on my favorite video game franchise.
