The Interesting Controls of Monster Hunter 1

[@miguelMickSummer]

It's such a shock going back to the ps1/ps2 era since there was no 'standard' control scheme, unlike todays 'L Joystick- movement R joystick- Camera' they were pretty experimental, played Armored Core last year and it was such a shock to see the control scheme, also fixed camera angles were common and are almost absent nowadays

[@rsho3472]

Wich is a shame since good fixed camera angle games where and are really good, the best example to me are GOW and RE games, but I guess it is a good thing that they are gone since games that do it bad are REALLY BAD, since there is no in-between with fixed camera, it's either good or bad.

i like how dedicated the series has been to holding your controller with a double claw grip, its the only way id recommend playing world and it literally the only practical way to play mh1

[@no-bark4112]

it's not necessary at all in World bro what

[@nandoaja5458]

won't lie. There are still many players from various countries playing old generation monster hunters such as MH1 FU, MHP3rd. it even has a community and server that is still active today. I'm still new to monste hunter maybe only about 4 years and my first mh was mhp3rd and mh world iceborne.

[@dickrider-xv8dw]

Yes, here in SEA in the form of a psp emulator like ppsspp as a plug in for mobile phones mostly because we can’t afford to buy a switch or a ps5

[@leonardotorresi2536]

The X and O swap in the first Monster Hunter was only for the western release, probably an error when remapping buttons since in Japan you confirm with O and go back with X (like a Nintendo controller). In the original japanese release you roll with X and pick up items with O

[@CanadianAdim]

It was a very specific choice to swap confirm to X in the international release as for some reason outside of Japan most games went with X for confirm. They just went with a very jank way of doing it swapping all X actions with O actions. It's a little bit better in the PSP titles but still a weird change imo.

[@nyokko36]

One interesting thing about controls in that time, is that most japanese games has the mind set that circle is the "confirm button" instead of X for western games (In Japan the circle symbolises OK while X symbolises no or deny), so that probably influenced the choice of circle to dodge and others things

playing mhp3rd on 2024 is sick

[@FlyingPolie]

People: it's so hard to control and playy :< MHPortable 3rd Players not having that ***2nd Analog Stick***: ????

[@FlyingPolie]

miss the days when you have to drink a potion, panic running, while you also use a DPad to control camera. glory days where I forgot how badass my fingers were

[@athos9293]

Crazy that PSO inspired Monster Hunter and then had a MH monster in it (Eruzerion), it's like if they added a Dark Souls or Horizon boss to MH

[@CanadianAdim]

Monster Hunter 1 is not worth playing if you are discussing the North American and European release. MH1 with no online is a shell of its former self. It is nice that we also get the save transfer from MH1JP to MHG and they both have multiplayer.

[@rantom87]

Just found your channel through the previous MH1 video. Really enjoyed it, and the length and information were just at the right spot. But i'm 3 minutes in into this video, and you're saying you've been playing MH for over 10 years, yet you don't own MH: Rise? Is this some for of silent protest against wirebugs? 😂

[@AsteriaMH]

Hey there rantom! Thanks for watching, I'm happy that you enjoyed it! ^^ I started editing this video in June, and I've since bought Monster Hunter Rise. For some reason I went into it thinking that I was going to hate the game, but I'm having fun! It's different, and the wirebug mechanic is a really cool concept. Anyway dude, thanks for watching! I appreciate the support! ^^

[@dude98a.k.adudewhereismyca84]

You can switch monster hunter world's controls to be a lot closer to classic monster hunter (dpad cam, flip shoulders and triggers, no radial menu) i personally use dpad camera and disabled radial since you can hotkey the number buttons on your keyboard with steam input. Right analog is never attacking though since "classic controls" for monster hunter is more like the 3ds games now.

[@CanadianAdim]

I wish they would bring it back as an option as the last time we have seen stick controls was MH3. Though MHFU for IOS also had a form of stick controls and MH Now controls are almost exactly like stick controls.

[@janyozenith4331]

Having the option of attacking with the right analog would be cool, but I guess it wouldn't be practical because the weapons have so many different moves right now.

[@CanadianAdim]

@@janyozenith4331 Movesets have gotten much more complex than they were in Tri the last mainline game we got with stick controls.

[@janyozenith4331]

@@CanadianAdim Yeah, that's what I said.

[@aeidengtfo6758]

Charge blade is popular? Also the clutch claw was the mechanic that killed the series for many.

[@CanadianAdim]

Just gonna preface this with I didn't grow up with stick controls they are something I started using in the past 2 years. Honestly the best part about stick controls in MH was that more attacks had a dedicated "button" I have a few good examples such as great sword having a dedicated charged and uncharged swing button allowing for much cleaner combo GS playstyle (button control's longer on the swing because it has to start the charge animation before cancelling causing slower attacks), Tri and got new attack the require some funky button combos and different movement states to pull off but on stick controls it's just left and right. Dual blades has a left and right revolving slash that is finicky to get going the correct direction you want on button control's. Hunting horn has 2 different directions you can do your base swing from that you can't really control with button control's. Imo each control scheme has its advantages, clawing doesn't bother me because I'm gonna claw with either control scheme anyways.

[@WoemIsWoem]

I already clear monster hunter one when i was a kid and to be honest the layout is sucks I was surprised when I first played MHFU, the layout was so smooth

[@fireflash6308]

If i ever went back to play the old ps2 games. I dont think ill be able to get used to the controls because im so used to the new ones

[@no-bark4112]

there's a mod, at least for MH1, that changes the control scheme to be more like the new games. MH1Plus, I think

[@CanadianAdim]

There are mods for all of the PS2 MH games to give them newer button control's but honestly stick controls are very intuitive give them a try you might actually enjoy them.

[@Keotha440]

Dude dude dude try to combo😂 it would be awsome

[@Newnodrogbob]

Is there any way to play the original in 2024?

[@ccccklmrun8868]

pcsx2, you can play it online too

[@aeidengtfo6758]

Nope it's completely wiped away from the internet and all physical discs were burnt back in the mid 2000s

[@Newnodrogbob]

@@aeidengtfo6758 now they should do the same thing with you.

[@duwaigimang1725]

Is it still worth it to buy monster hunter world for now? I am interested but my basic monster hunter game is the first monster hunter and the portable 3rd

[@21IIl]

Get it during discount and you might want to grab mhr sunbreak too cuz you played mhp3. Btw in gen 5, you need to buy both base game and the expansion unlike previous titles
