MHGU was something special..... 

yooo, jesus himself entered the chat

Never expected two Monster Hunter Shitposters to meet like this lmao

I'm really praying for another celebratory title like this, the amounts of content and sheer atmosphere this game had were/are like no other

@@ThatRandomDude204Shitposters? More like Styleposters.

We need Hazislazy in here too

2nd best in my humble opinion mh4u was amazing hands down so many good memories iconic monsters and Gogmazios hunts murdering entire teams 😄😄🔥🔥

@@kaizo2507 Yea, MH4U was it for me. So many late nights running hunts with the boys before life hit us all.

Indeed. Either this or 4U

I should have played 4u more than I did

​@bluerhyno2710 i jumped on late to 4u, was new to mh, and didnt have the online experience due to poor connection. Sigh...what couldve been. I wonder what theyre going to do next

did you go back to 4U? Since you're already used to old school MH you shouldn't have any trouble adapting. Also the story is the best of the series and the overall atmosphere pretty great. There's also a handful of unique fights

@@giratina6665i love 4u and iceborne

My first MH game was 4u

Honestly I'd totally play this since it doesn't seem as bad as like the first or second gen games but man some things just look really dumb and unnecessarily annoying like the fact you still CAN'T FUCKING SEE DAMAGE numbers or the fact your character is still rooted in place when healing and does the goofy flexing animation

it is criminal to be able to get so much monster hunter content for 9.99

It takes some adjusting after playing those two games but it is a great time. I never got to enjoy most of G-Rank though cause I didn't have the grit to beat it all solo.

@@Rytom That’s for sure 😂

@@propheticrain-maker1486wdym? rise is WAYY more similar to GU than world is , i’d say getting used to GU if you’ve played rise isn’t hard at all

@@dantestryder it's a complete QoL reversion for starters. You feel a little spoiled by World/Rise going back to the older games. Potion flex. Camps. Whetstones. Pickaxes. Inventory space. Paint balls. Everything controls a little stiffer and there's nothing like wirefall for a safety net. If someone hasn't played the older games, it is a fairly large adjustment to make and that isn't a hot take.

Insect Glaive, but totally agree!

Did you get to use the MHG Save Data Transfer tool to move your 3DS save to the Switch, or did you just totally restart for MHGU? If so that is mad dedication

It's got so much content because almost all of them are just reused assets.

@@NotBer its most monsters from all the games before it. its an anniversary title that celebrates everything before it. and if you wanna make that argument you could say the same about every single other monster hunter game except world really. bad argument in this franchise. actually even world reuses some assets.

@@RauschenPauli im not only talking about the monsters lol. MHGU pretty much reused almost everything (locations, stages, NPCs, etc) that's why saying that it was so much content is disingenuous since probably 90% of it was from the older games.

@@NotBer you can still say the same about the older games. every monster hunter game reuses old content. 4th gen, 3gen. 2gen. every monster hunter does. its not disingenuous at all.

Iirc, I had a mixed set from Generations that had a couple of USJ pieces, and when I transferred my save to GU, I learned that they took USJ out (I assume licensing issues?).

Have you ever heard of egg quests?

@@JayceCH. I unironically like egg quests.

​@@Smexbiegg quests were my only reason to get into monster hunter

​@@JayceCH.Egg quests are 1000x easier played in Prowler mode.

​@@AveryCreates all gathering quests are, really. Prowler is honestly underrated

The only jank there is is some hitboxes. People still spreading the misinformation of gameplay being jank before World is 🙄

@@JayceCH. Exactly. The only jank is being bad.

Its not even optimal everytime.

​@NickReilly-iv6jg what is "old gen" though? The 3DS games are very different and missing things that make the ps2 games charming and immersive. The way I see it, old gen (1 and 2), mid gen (3 and 4) and new gen (5) are all different and have their own charm

@@elk3407 Many people use old gen to refer to old style MH. The art style and basic combat mechanics of gen 1-4 are different from those of gen 5 and supposedly later. I use new or current style to refer to 5th gen onwards and old style for anything before that

@merouln700 The art style of gen 1 and 2 is more in line with the world than it is with 3 and 4, though, with its grittier washed-out colors

@NickReilly-iv6jg4u, mhfu and world are just perfect

@NickReilly-iv6jg yep, i agree, but they dont bother me, im so attached to the game at its core

It was not a send off. It's simply the last time the series was any good. Screw rise. It's trash.

​​@@FreezyNinjaAlt-hj1muI wouldn't say it's bad. I'd say it's too different. World already played too much like an action MMO and Rise doubled down on that. They're--or at least Rise is--still a good game. It functions and it keeps you running around and pressing buttons. It's still a fun time, but it's a lot less satisfying than what came before because the QoL features tip the scales too heavily in your favor.

It because it doesn't have solo scaling. If you play it with 2 or more people like the devs intended, it's actually THE easiest monster hunter

Lao can be really challangeing for Solo players, but once you know him you can beat him without having to draw your weapon once.

​@@elk3407Never heard of Bloodlust Diablos.

4U is the best for me, still miss the guild marm everyday (since my 2ds just broke)

​@@Nebechadnezzaryou can get the marm as your housekeeper in GU

@@Gabriel_Blair but will she call me doodle tho

@@RadishHead7 yes

@@RadishHead7yes my brother, now you have a mission…dew it

Hyper Monsters will require some optimal gameplay. Like getting your strongest attack in on weakpoints consistently.

New school where? It was the game that introduced styles...

Well nows your chance to get it for the switch $10-20 and enjoy it all over again! Lots of new players, me included

​@@AveryCreates Your message gives me hope : still need to buy a Switch, Mario Kart,Smash, this game and I thought I'd do this whole game solo (unlike Tri)...

​@@unknowjlmand a pro controller because the joycon aren't very good to play certain weapons, mostly ranged one.

@@Manu-ik6xy Thanks for the tip, I used to play MH Tri on the Wii with the black pro controller because I heard using the wiimote would give me cancer, and really enjoyed the experience.... Will do !

Just nerd HBG, and I would love to replay it for the 5th time on a new weapon tbh.

I think you mean "so World could blow chunks"

​@@NEETKittenNo.

​@@AkariRosumashi World was just too easy for fans of the series from before it. I feel like it is a shame that the majority of the player base now started with world, since I have never seen a fan of the series that started before world actually praise that game. Please understand that most old-school fans of the series are seeing one of their favorite franchises get casual-ized because Capcom sees that their most casual entries are the ones that brought in the most money. That means we may never see MH like it was again. Which really sucks because MHW and Rise just doesn't feel like the MH I grew up with, and it never will again.

@@corytanksley7909 As someone who played the PSP ones when I was younger (so pretty bad at playing em) and only gotten into MH with World which made me buy GU and love both of those games, what do old fans want? Flex after potions? Or the constant loading screens between zones? Or throw a paintball which isn't anything special as I barely use the paintball and still find the monster? Or do they want the 1 frame hip checks? Do they miss the old monsters having to turn 90 degree turns? The completely useless rng use of mining picks ya know the ones were the trashy one that can either break from one hit or survive the whole trip?

​​​@@xAvitaLT Yes, I want (most of) those things back. Because all of it, ignoring the odd bit of monster AI jank, was important to the experience. When I'm gathering items, juggling my inventory and deciding what I need right this second and what can be grabbed later, realizing I'm down to my last pickaxe and I still need 5 more ores and praying to GOD that it holds out just a little longer, that's fun. It's fun to see a new monster, make a mental checklist of everything I need to beat it, and then spend time gathering the resources I need. The hunts are fun because of the intentional clunkiness and weight to everything. If I miss an attack, I can't press ZL/L2/whatever and just hit the undo button. I'm stuck in that attack animation and get punished for going for some greedy hits. Managing paintballs and learning a monster's movement patterns keep you engaged in the fight. Using a potion properly in the middle of the fight gives me such a big dopamine rush. I don't have any animation-canceling get out of jail free cards, so I have to find safe spots in their patterns to heal and possibly stay at a dangerous HP level for longer or else go for a risky heal that could put me in an even worse spot if I mess up the timing. Notice a pattern yet? In my examples provided, I find it fun and engaging observing the monster and planning out a strategy in real time. All of this is *fun.* It's *fun* to prepare for a big hunt. It's *fun* to learn a monster's behaviors and different thresholds based entirely on their animations. It's *fun* to actually have to find the monster on your own. When I'm neck-deep into a fight, watching attacks, learning punish windows, managing paintballs, learning optimal healing windows, managing sharpness or ammo, all while some big angry lizard wants to kill me as hard as I want to kill it, I feel incredibly engaged. I feel *like a fucking monster hunter!* I put in all that work, I did all of that prep, I studied the monster as much as I could, and I was rewarded for my efforts with a fun fight, big pile of monster parts, and a new friend to do it all over with. World, and especially Rise, don't give anywhere near that level of satisfaction. Since I'm no longer forced to commit to my actions, there's no sense of urgency or tension whenever I go for more risky plays that would've been a death sentence before. I don't need to go do gathering or prep work anymore because most things I would ever need on a hunt are just available from the shop. Don't gotta worry about inventory management, and the balance between enough items to get by and enough empty space to carry materials. Now, on top of materials going in a separate inventory, most of those items were either removed or turned into infinite-use items that don't take up inventory space. You don't need paintballs or even to find the monster anymore because they're on your map at all times. This isn't NEARLY as fun to me. I'm not a monster hunter, I'm not getting stuck neck-deep in a fight to the death with a powerful monster, using my wits and strategy to scrape through a win by the skin of my teeth. I'm a glorified exterminator going to clear rats out of some guy's backyard. To give you an idea of how bad it is, I was playing Rise around 2 weeks ago. Just got to G Rank. Or MR. But it's basically the same as G Rank. I fought 2 G Rank Arzuros, and I got so bored just mashing A and countering that I fucking *dissociated* and regained awareness to their corpses. I put the game down after that.

How is that a mistake? It's what I do for every MH game.

@@AnarickTheDevil cause for Gen Ultimate, it has sooooo many side quest that it is low key not worth it

Puro, I've had such a great time playing this game with you, I can't wait for the many more hours we'll spend in G-Rank.

Also by what i meant by "technically started with world" is cause i use to own freedom unite but it was in another language at the time didnt know, so i never got anywhere with and ended up passing it to my brother.
