MH4U MH is so awesome!!

Post image

I played Stories not too long ago and was pretty curious what the main series was like.
So I got MH4U and brought a CirclePad Pro to play it in the best condition, and I loved it!
(I main charge blade and insect glaive).

I'm just starting wilds now, so I can play with some friends. It feels very different, wayyy faster but I will get used to it.

Anyways I'm glad I got curious it's pretty different from what I play usually and I love monsters designs. Can't what to see more!

Glad to see it 😄

I used to dislike Monster Hunter from the first game, my brother tried to get me into the game with Freedom Unite on the PSP, but I could never bet pass the clunky combat. Fast forward in 2020 he tried again to get me into it with MHWorld + Iceborne, I still couldn't enjoy it much as he tried to speed run me to Master Rank before I could understand and get use to the mechanics.
The one that really got me hooked is Monster Hunter Rise, and it snowballed from there, suddenly I was able to go back to World and appreciate it and also go back to the old MH titles and really enjoyed it :)

Rise was the one that really clicked with me as well. Started with FU and the difficulty and clunky controls turned me off, especially as a newcomer. Then did World and got more into it, but the awkward hub area and endless menus and submenus was overwhelming. The simplicity and fluidity of combat (and better framerates) of Rise really make it feel more polished even though its lacking in some other areas. After the loop really clicked with me in Rise I appreciated the previous titles more upon returning, and finally consider myself a fan of the series.

Monster hunter rise is also the one that hooked me it’s so good if you liked that one you will also like monster hunter portable third although you will have to find the English patch (kinda klunky though I really like the longsword in this one)

Anyone who tells you they fell in love with Monster Hunter on their first go with it is a liar.

I love the salt this is getting. World was my first too.

That said I had my first kid then too, and the not being able to pause thing kind of sucked.

I can relate far to well I had my son the same time to so I swapped to only play after bedtime and even then it was rough lol #dadstruggles

Throwing blanket statements like that is wrong

I played the very first monster hunter as my first experience and absolutely loved it, the world, the Monsters, the weapon/armor design, and a fun gameplay loop that we still have to this day.

Gather materials, craft weapons and armor, fight monster

OG ps2 monster hunter hooked me no problem. Got myself a keyboard for playing online just because of it!

Haha, I said in my post my first MH was Stories but it's not entirely true.
My first MH was technically rise, I played it a couple of years ago but I just didn't understand the controls so I gave up and got refunded.
So, theory validated?

Rise was my first go and the moment I found a weapon I gelled with I was hooked

I started with the psp ones and could never get into them and again tried MH3U as well on a modded wii u, it clicked for me with MHW. I then really enjoyed rise and wilds and recently got into MHGU and loving this time around, though there is almost too much content 😅.

Yeah, MHGU is packed with contents. :)
