I love how happy and casual they all look in these videos! Especially Tsujimoto, he's just there for a good time and laughs.

Fr in the latest wilds video he looked like he was being help gunpoint. 😢

same bro, I mean, I can only imagine the long hours and hard work it takes to make these games, but once they have their finished product look at it with pride, the smiles and joy really make it all worth it, especially with the praise that it got from hunters worldwide

[@zulium]

I love these guys. They're so passionate and their love for the series is so prevalent. I've been playing since Freedom Unite came out on the PSP and I'm just so glad this series took off and people around the world came to appreciate how awesome it is.

[@elk3407]

World has to be one of my favorite Monster Hunters. As someone who started with 2nd gen seeing the ecosystem so alive was like a dream come true

[@alexandercortescampano4335]

I still play it at this time and it has become my favorite Monster Hunter game of the series so far

[@krittiteesriploy1724]

I totally get you man they made the world feel alive, sometimes i would just go on expedition and just walk around with a ghilie mantle on lol

I even find the mhw guidebook. I cant wait to read the lore and I just loving this game. Best game in my life too. Doom was normally but this is another level of all. I played the psp back on the days. It wss good but klunky. Mhw is smooth and slick all directions ❤❤❤🎉

Monster Hunter world really made the franchise accessible to everyone! I'm glad a lot of new players get to enjoy it. Long time players like myself got to appreciate the success Monster Hunter has done for 20 years! I can't wait for what the dev team is cooking on the summer announcements for Monster Hunter Wilds.

[@dad5draco]

It's really crazy how much this game & it's DLC put MH on the map.

[@Circenn]

If you listened, the game prior put the franchise on the map according to the devs.

[@dad5draco]

@@Circenn I'm talking about the amount of sales. I was there since the 3DS days. Gens was popular, but World was literally a jump up global scale success. Just look at the numbers. If they released GU on 3DS in the west instead of waiting a couple years for the switch, maybe you could make that argument.

[@user-rs1wl2lg7j]

jj

[@Circenn]

@@dad5draco that's not even a good comparison. Was Gen available on pc? No? Alright then. Get out of here with your false equivalency.

[@dad5draco]

@@Circenn That is exactly my point. High accessibility led to higher visibility, which led to astronomical popularity. You know I'm right here. 3DS famous is only 3DS famous. Especially back in 2014-2016.

[@somerandomdude7785]

So the real reason Fatalis was in Iceborne is due to the director's regret in having guest monsters from base World's collabs?

[@maybe183]

Not having them as guest per se, but he regretted making them THE most difficult in base World, which were Ancient Leshen and Behemoth. He wanted the hardest to be MH's own original monster.

[@user-kx4cf7iy5u]

[@calfae01]

I remember them saying they decided to add Fatalis because fans were asking for it ever since they saw its new render in the MH size comparison video years ago.

World is literally my dream come true about a monster hunter game when i'm still imagining it while playing the 3rd on PSP back when i was a kid.

[@bradlyskaggs4215]

I always heard about Monster hunter, especially around the of the DS and Wii era but never played any of them but my friend bought me World when it came out and I fell in love with the series! I wish I played the early games but in a way I’m glad World was my first!

[@zenotoxic3761]

I started a new account for this year and began my hunting horn main journey. I’m still waiting for MHWilds

[@Kinsect101]

Monster Hunter World/Iceborne is also the first (and so far only) game to add guess monsters such as Final Fantasy's Behemoth and Cactuar and also The Witcher 3's Leshen (and it's also where we also first got an Allied monster from a Pukei Pukei which I wish they can bring back! ^^;;)

[@RIP2UALL]

Leshen is so fun, ngl.

[@eduardosoria6421]

Me encanta este juego me lo enseñaron desde el monster hunter 2 y desde ahí he jugado todos los que he podido.

[@kittentacticalwarfare1140]

World is what the 1st MonHun wanted to be, prolly what the franchise must build upon for mainline installments. Rise/Sunbreak is what a more traditional portable MonHun is, a perfect return to what MonHun has been, and another amazing improvement as usual. There is no bad MonHun games, there is only better and diverse. Can't wait to see what Wilds will be, one thing is wholesomely sure: they listen to us, and never fail to deliver.

[@micahfurlow2624]

RiseBreak is definitely a sequel or 5th gen spiritual successor to MHGU (And makes sense when you consider that Rise development started off as a modified MHGU on the 3ds) I would definitely like it a lot if each generation keeps having at least one traditional game, and then one Rise/GU like game.

[@Daigon95]

I say my only real criticism with World was the fact that goin from 4U/GU to World felt like a step back when it came to NPC/Character personality. A lot of it felt like surface level 2D personality for most characters or nearly all the NPCs just felt like faceless nobodies. I can barely remember any noteworthy characters outside the main main cast compared to 4th gen. Hell even 3rd gen with the Guild Sweetheart having such personality to her. "Operation: Time Waster is proceeding as planned!" "Hmm? I'm gonna get canned for doing all this?" "Sure. There's a recession and jobs are incredibly hard to come by, but I'll burn that bridge when I come to it." "So "The Man" can put that in his pipe and smoke it!" Other than that, I enjoyed my time with the game.

[@calfae01]

World was my first game of this incredible franchise! Thank you for bringing it back to consoles and a PC version. This series is doing better than ever! I cant wait for the next game!! ❤ Bring back poogie in Wilds please!

[@Dovahninja]

I'm still playing world on PC and so are a lot of others! You guys really knocked it out of the park with that one! Can't wait for Wilds!

[@teero121]

like many other people world was my entry into the series and it has become a big part of my life ever since then. while rise didnt live up to my in all honesty unrealistic expectations im still beyond excited for the next big main game that is monster hunter wilds.

[@kaiserwilhelmii1971]

WE LOVE MHW!

[@legato7521]

World was fantastic, if the next MH game could surpass it, then it gonna be wild.

[@MikeN_LA]

MH4U is still the best MH title ever made imo and deserves a remaster for Nintendo Switch 2 with all the DLC included. Probably the most fun I’ve ever had in my gaming career of 32 years. I put in almost 5,000 hours into the game the most I’ve ever put into any one single game.

[@pandre5458]

I would honestly settle for just a port with the 3DS graphics at this point

[@user-kx4cf7iy5u]

9oo

[@micahfurlow2624]

Honestly there needs to be a way to reliably play more of these MH titles I'd argue every MH game deserves to be experienced, whether it be the first gen or the 4th

[@junevue9665]

mhw is my favorite mh game and started jn mh2g. Tht game is just beautiful, the ecosystem, graphics, collabs, and animalistic behavior. Perfect. I hope Mhwilds have the same feel. Ive spent hours looking at and finding details as well following the monsters do stuff on the map

[@pandre5458]

Monster Hunter World was a good game not my favourite in the series I like Sunbreak and 4U more but happy it brought so many people to the series.

[@dad5draco]

Damage numbers were pry my favourite thing added to the series. It makes everything so much more fast & rewarding.

[@ohmanyourecool1]

And for those that like the classic feel, it’s always an option to disable

[@DanielZeal]

​@@ohmanyourecool1 Yeah, I only ever re-enable it when I'm learning a new weapon. It's pretty helpful.

Nergigante is my absolute favorite monster, probably even more than bazel and seething

Not a fan of damage numbers at all in MH, but luckily it's optional. Please keep it optional for Wilds too

[@wits_end.]

Zero mentions on trash claw lol

[@lipsontajgordongrunk4328]

World is my least favorite MH but I appreciate some of the concepts it tried to introduce.

[@emblemblade9245]

I really dislike the quotes from 0:26-0:49 because it makes it sound like they’re apologizing for the fanbase’s refusal to accept the kind of game 4U and prior was, and just cave into their demands to make everything easier and cater to people who can’t be bothered to learn.

[@Cue-Ball.]

It worked out amazingly for them. Tough luck, you've had 6 years to accept the fact. Plus they weren't apologizing they were just genuinely taking it as feedback, they're literally laughing and having a good time, it ain't that serious. When Japanese people are apologetic trust me they wouldn't be so casual like this.

[@azure4622]

I dunno, the only thing I'd say world did easier was how skills and the like are portrayed. The rest of the stuff like say gathering getting streamlined made sense, and we know they still don't mind having difficulty because of ala and fatty. Of corse for rise they somehow went even farther with streamlining, to much for me personally.

yup, a big "F you" to the old players in favor of the casual audience
