The lao quest is probably my favorite quest in that game. Does it take forever? Yes. Is it a good fight? Nah not really. But the theme playing as I fire the dragonator into the massive mountain dragon, in defense of an entire city just PUMPS ME UP. And I’m so glad they brought that back for the final phase of fatalis in iceborne
And the new ones who are just picking it up. Seriously those hitboxes are something else and i have now gained a vicious hatred for Vespoids and Bullfangos.
I could've sworn World was more controversial than Rise. What with "dumbing" down the game with changes to the game. Though granted every new game, regardless of the series, will be the most controversial. I also like World too. :)
World was only controversial at launch because of that damned Denuvo, other than that, it was a very solid Monster Hunter game for both veterans and newbies, hell even Casuals. World gives of the realism that no other monster hunter can give currently. Honestly, Even though I had a few hundred hours in every monster hunter game besides rise and the first Monster hunter, World got me really hooked.
Honestly I had more fun with base rise than I did base world. There's too many weird things in world that didn't click with me. The scoutflies, the mantles/tools, the awful weapon designs, the sound design felt bland and the environments were large and pretty at the expense of being in your face and everything still being joined by linear paths making it a pain to navigate. Iceborne then added the clutchclaw and one of the worst fight changes in gaming history (alatreon) ontop of the grinding lands so my experience with that was short and unpleasant.
I trained in MHFU before coming straight to World and basically solo'd everything in the game, giving me the mindset and skills to solo everything in World before using an SoS for efficient hunting, no matter how difficult it was, even Fatalis i killed solo first time. World is my playground, but Pokke is my hometown.
@@chrispienaar3848 Nice. I shall follow ypur ways Master Veteran Hunter. I have to master gunlance so I could say I can use em all. I could play lance good enough that I don't die but gunlance makes me greedy lmao
Something I loved about the psp titles is how good the visuals hold up. I don't mean to bicker on the ds/wiiu games but their colors seemeda little too saturated for me
It is odd, I remember hearing Super rad saying the 3U was the truest Monster Hunter aesthetic and while I have nothing against the guy it sounded so crazy to me. The first time I saw 3U at a friend's house I thought eww it looks like a Nintendo game. (Not that there isn't beautiful stuff in the game, I just preferred the aesthetics of 1st and 2nd gen)
He's playing this on an emulator, upscaling the resolution 4x so that its 1080p. Don't be fooled. Literally everyone that makes FU videos in 2022 is using an emulator to face lift it. Go watch 2008-2010 FU videos to see the super old, low res 360p organic FU experience

I remembered playing this on my psp, and Longsword despite not being as complex was the good example of there is beauty in simplicity. And remembered getting to Yian Garuga before my memory stick became corrupted and all of the files were unreadable.
Man the data corrupted thinghy on the memory stick was a massive bitch. Back in mhfu times i used to play with a friend (who's still my hunter bro today after so many years luckily) and my data got corrupted around 5 stars guild quests. Ended up never turning off my psp thanks to standby mode for probably what were months until one day it got low on battery and forgot to put it in charge. When i got back to it some days later i discovered that it turned off for good and lost so much progress and got so sad i didn't touch mh for weeks.
Older franchise has the spice of survival in it. No tutorials, no guide. Everything is punishing. Preparation is the key. Then until you hit the yian kut ku wall where you can finally feel monster hunting. Pokke became home for most since finally they try putting some sense to the world. The areas are more vivid unlike its predecessor which are a post apocalyptic horror zones. Also prob mhf2-fu is a so fking hit back then and released at the peak of psp. Tri was supposed to become the renaissance of mh with its underwater combat however its exclusivity to wii only made it fell short. Hence p3rd.. (they also thought water combat is not fun with that conclusion which is stupid). and then comes the advent of 3ds games with capcom water testing new funky ideas in each franchise. Story finally incorporated with 4 which is good and then the final goodbye with X and XX. Industrial revolution finally happens with MHW. And i tell you what. MHW/MHW:I IS A FKING MASTERPIECE!! Living/ breathing environment, no loading zones, RESEARCH (i love scoutflies), somewhat ok storyline with nergi as the batman (mild spoiler) and SOS flares! Holy fk, it is definitely the accumulation of all our dreams way way way back tribal times. The golden era of mh games which however casted a huge shadow to the following game. Rise gets the treatment of either you do better or youll turn to be worse. But imo its still early to tell without sunbreak hitting the final nail. But itll be amazing to see where the franchise is going. Prob itll be some gundams in the future or a pvp because all the monsters are fking dead because of these bullshit anime-ish movesets and longsword cutting space and time continuum. Who knows.

Do you remember, it's september 2008, you just went home from school, it's kinda rainy and you promised to your group of friends you would finally hunt and beat that plesioth, and when you arrive at the village you just hear that "yo" godamn that was the fucking good old days
I remember when I got this game I was just a child waiting for my mum to pay for stuff we wanted at the game store, and then I saw this game on the shelf and I liked the cover art for it, little did I know it would be pretty much the only game I would ever play on my PSP again.
Have you guys ever sliced preys in half? (Velociprey/giaprey/genprey/ioprey) *This happens rarely if you use Greatsword/Longsword with a final blow of vertical slash while the preys are in midair (the vertical slash must hit them when they pounced at you)* I've played MH, MH2Dos, MHFU, and this thing happened in my experience. Their body will be sliced in half and fades, so you can't carve them. But you can see their body getting sliced in half tho
Tigrex made me shit my pants. Rathalos made me retire, my hands would literally start shaking and sweating so much that I had to abandon the quest mid-fight. I literally exclusively hunted Dromes, Yian-kut-kut and Congalas for almost an entire year because of that.. It's really funny looking back at how I was back then.
That last shot on the snowy mountain top looking up at the beautiful night sky with colorful constellations hits me right in the feels, Tiger! MHFU is where I started out, too! And I'm still playing this game to this day on Hunsterverse servers. Thank you for making this video! You gained a new fan! 🧡🙏
April 2004 was the 1st time i played monster hunter. Japanese version. I saw a mean red dragon and a guy with a big ass sword about to slash it on the cover and i saw Capcom's name. I went with my gut instinct and bought the game even though i dont understand japanese much at the time. Boy am i glad i bought it. Been a fan of the series ever since. 😋
@@garbodude4365 i still remember how cluncky the control was at the time. I mean attacking using right anolog stick!

@ANOTHER LOST ACCOUNT older monster hunter wasnt very user friendly. But once you started getting into it, "It's The Hunter's Life" for you. 😂 Im glad its a lot more accessible now though.
This comment section is wholesome, we were so few in the west, maybe a few thousand at best. Now after all these years we are in millions. Look at how far this franchise has come, never forget Kokoto village my fellow hunters. Our first home.
It's really hard for solo play, buf definitely possible. Everything has room for improvement. For example in the video, the guy was using charged attack with hammer against Khezu but he was doing it from the front. This meant he can only dodge sideways meaning Khezu can hit him afterwards with his electric charge. If instead you hit Khezu from the side, you can then dodge and get away from his attack. Very little things matter in this game
I'm still in hr7(g rank) lmao. That damn purple daimyo hermitaur is WAAAYY stronger than normal daimyo. Mf gave me a harder time than fighting Akantor lmao
Yup. We should always consider how bigger the community is nowadays, compared to times when FU, Tri etc. were released. Like, sure, with Rise we saw how many people with “duckling syndrome” are in the community, but saying same thing didn’t happen for every title would be false. I’d personally even go as far as saying that percentage of loud controversy minority is still the same (around 3% at worst). It’s just that: 1) there’re more people in the community; 2) content creators are more likely to cover controversial topics due to how Social media work; 3) Loud minority now can either be a content creator or just in general has an easier way to express their ideas
I was fortunate enough to have started with the first game where it all began and played all the amazing games except for Frontier and Online, despite that i shall always consider Pokke village my MH home, i never left that game despite having wonderful new games at my disposal such as MHWI and GU. Something about it feels unique that any other games have yet to offer, although MH3 is a close second, can't quite put my finger on it but i love the simplicity of FU and grounded combat where i must survive the monsters. I still have my PSP intact and my character that i still play with every now and then. Claw finger gang Rise up! May we get a remake of it in near future, hopefully before or after the next mainline game.
it would be really cool to se a remake. although i wouldnt really like to see the new hunting form i prefer the older positioning over counter gameplay.
This and TES:Morrowind are the 2 games that absolutely made my childhood.. and yet neither of them shall ever be played again, but remain as (un)perfect as they were in my core memories.
Oh my god. Morrowind's alchemy system was absolutely fucking bonkers. I remember spamming intelligence potions to make better intelligence potions untill i was like 1 million intelligence, and making several hundred restore Magicka, health, stamina potions, so that i literally became more powerful than a god. I remember the fortify strength potions let me one shot vivec, golden saints with a simple dagger. That game was fucking great. Especially the books.
im sad in fact im 28 and i love games I played them A LOOOOOT and... for some arguments I don't understand I missed MH and MHW was my first MH that will be the same like these first monster hunters your guys. MHW was my greatest adventure of all games and no elden ring no witcher no skyrim no other games can do repeat that. There will be only monster hunter world and now.. I'm making my steps at rise.
Aren't world also controversial with those lazy weapon ass design and the growing toxic community? It's funny how some comment says rise is downgrade from it's previous world game when those have different developers and implement some Qol improvement from world.
Playing MHFU is such a godsend for me. I Basically cheesed MH3rdP and while playing MHGU, I only need to familiarize the Hunting Styles. Ahtal-Ka was a really fun Monster to fight, the only "Elder Dragon" that made me pumped up so far. MHFU has a really simplified attack moves yet I really, really like it since it is me first game.
Good times, I’ve bought a new console for every new monster hunter that I could (buying the “ultimate” versions for them) except portable 3rd since that one didn’t release outside Japan. Even got base world twice for example xD. Also started out with freedom unite and only because when I was on a school trip my mate told me to get this psp game he happened to have with him on said trip saying that we could play together and the rest is history.
If I'd give 1 word to MHFU, it's G(old) Currently playing the game and my intro to MH since last year. Through all it's flaws, love this game to it's core
God I remember being introduced to the MH games.. We were on vacation in America and went to Best Buy where I checked out the games section to see if there was anything I could add to my PSP collection. Then I saw a cover with some tiger-like monster and a guy with a giant samurai sword which immediately got my interest. Turns out you had to either buy games in Europe for a Europe-purchased PSP or the other way around, so I had to freaking buy another PSP to play. Boy it was so worth it. I had never stuck to a game for so long wherever I went. Everything was significantly hard for me but also rewarding to complete. The frustration of having no green-sharpness weapons while still having to beat Yian Kut-Ku was the first challenge to overcome but afterwards things started to make sense. Now that I think of it I can’t imagine I had beaten White Fatalis in MHFU (or MHF2) as a 12-year old but then again, I wouldn’t be able to now. I was such a fan of almost every monster solely for the fact that most of them made memorize their movesets and strategize accordingly. It was a beautiful time leading all the way up to MH World/Iceborne and up to this day I still enjoy every hour I put into the game. The only thing I was hoping for is a sequel to Iceborne or atleast some form of open world online version of the Frontier/Online titles in Asia to spend the next 5 years in. Oh well, here’s to years of happy gaming.
yep! It does require you to make efficient use of your weapon's DPS capability to deal enough damage to kill in the time you are given, but it sure is possible!
During the worst years of my life I discovered MHF2 while talking to some people I knew on a rental store, we had all bought psp's coincidentally during that same period and then started playing Freedom 2, we gathered at my place and did 1500 hours on it, and then Freedom Unite released, and 3500 hours later we created another character to clock more 2000 hours. This fucking game gave me the best friends I've ever had during the worst time of my life, I am very thankful to have discovered this back in the day. All that said, after playing World, I find these old games unplayable, I watch these nostalgia videos and I wonder "man how tf was I able to clock so many hours into this" lol
Pokke village is my birth place always be my home... Anyways I dont fear any monsters but only ONE MHFU VETS FEAR MOST "PLESIOTH HYPERSPACE TACKLE HIPCHECK!! AND HITBOXES????"..... who used range gun are cowards on plesioth, JOIN THE SUFFERING OF HIPCHECK [ Longsword vet joined the hunt ]
Ah yes my very 1st MH.. Mh Portable 2nd, hunting Tigrex using Mafumofu armor in Popo Tongue quest, not knowing I can skip fighting him entirely. Spend 800+ hours on PSP for this game
As MHFU veteran when I still can't forget my reaction when is suddenly dodge an avoidable attack cuz Capcom keeps nerfing these hit box. still today whenever's I fought a nargacuga and Rajang and I dodge it it doesn't seem to be normal it's like playing baby mode
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite was epic and a proper difficult game to solo online mode. Mane matches too me the full 49 mins. I usually hammer Lao as well, and only use hammer for him. Other than that it's GreatSword or Bow all the way. I spent over 600 hours on this. Now I look back and think. All those gathering etc gone to waste. Pixels sitting in the corner of that red box somewhere. Nice vid nostalgic indeed.
I swear i hate that i must Play mhrise i want mh world 2man i need that Atmosphere Just everything was better than mhrise. I hate every New Monster from mhrise the flagship Monster Looks Like it CAME out from dauntless lol, the world is fk Boring only the Gameplay is good i Like the bug mechanic.
Freedom unite is my first MH game. I have to google how to kill Bulldrome. And how terrified a giant d!ck with wings and thunder can be. How satisfied to finally kill a tigerex. I fell invincible by that time. How naive I am.
I never ended up beating the crimson and white Fatalis’s. About a year ago I went back to try crimson again and I got bodied, so him and white will stay undefeated by me.
Mhfu is both the most horrible and the best monster hunter Imo, it has the best monster and map, I wish the map is back in future MH game. Especially the forest and hills. Also, it has the best desert soundtrack.
@@jackstack2136 MHW has the most players in the whole series, so I don't know what you are talking about. Don't get me wrong, my heart is still with the hot spring at Yukumo and granny at Pokke. But MHW is the thing that's helping Capcom keep MH alive for us. You don't have to like it but you need to accept the truth.
@@justascaredpussycat1869 I mean 'killed the franchise' as in Capcom casualized it to the point of no return and it can no longer be considered Monster Hunter. My Classic family is somewhat tight-knit; I dont know any Fifth Fleeters and intend to keep it that way. We just come from different communities and you need to accept that.
This was actually my first monster hunter game because it was free for ps plus one month, I think around the same time I also got freedom wars for free
I had this game on mobile and if i never got it I would never of known about this amazing series. I tried to reinstall it recently but it is no longer compatible with the new Ios. Capcom has ended ties with the game and is no longer for sell in the app store and has been left forever. I cry tears

I’d personally even go as far as saying that percentage of loud controversy minority is still the same (around 3% at worst). It’s just that: 1) there’re more people in the community; 2) content creators are more likely to cover controversial topics due to how Social media work; 3) Loud minority now can either be a content creator or just in general has an easier way to express their ideas
I was fortunate enough to have started with the first game where it all began and played all the amazing games except for Frontier and Online, despite that i shall always consider Pokke village my MH home, i never left that game despite having wonderful new games at my disposal such as MHWI and GU. Something about it feels unique that any other games have yet to offer, although MH3 is a close second, can't quite put my finger on it but i love the simplicity of FU and grounded combat where i must survive the monsters.
I still have my PSP intact and my character that i still play with every now and then.
Claw finger gang Rise up! May we get a remake of it in near future, hopefully before or after the next mainline game.
it would be really cool to se a remake. although i wouldnt really like to see the new hunting form i prefer the older positioning over counter gameplay.
This and TES:Morrowind are the 2 games that absolutely made my childhood.. and yet neither of them shall ever be played again, but remain as (un)perfect as they were in my core memories.
Oh my god. Morrowind's alchemy system was absolutely fucking bonkers. I remember spamming intelligence potions to make better intelligence potions untill i was like 1 million intelligence, and making several hundred restore Magicka, health, stamina potions, so that i literally became more powerful than a god. I remember the fortify strength potions let me one shot vivec, golden saints with a simple dagger. That game was fucking great. Especially the books.
The intro is kind of cringe, not a fan of things starting with "most" in general
My first MH game on the psp. I distinctly remember showing my mom the moment when I killed a yian kutku. This was over a decade ago damn...
im sad in fact im 28 and i love games I played them A LOOOOOT and... for some arguments I don't understand I missed MH and MHW was my first MH that will be the same like these first monster hunters your guys. MHW was my greatest adventure of all games and no elden ring no witcher no skyrim no other games can do repeat that. There will be only monster hunter world and now.. I'm making my steps at rise.
Aren't world also controversial with those lazy weapon ass design and the growing toxic community?
It's funny how some comment says rise is downgrade from it's previous world game when those have different developers and implement some Qol improvement from world.
*The most nostalgic mh game.
Me who still plays mhfu because i don't have any console and pc. 😢
"Didn't play MH4U"
Me: *close the video* I can't stand this bullshit
Tbh, mhgu as most creative is kinda funny with it literally getting most of its content from other mh games.
Ironic to think the mainstream crowd of world ended up bringing controversy in rise.
I swear if people say sunbreak is "too hard" im gonna flip, do a roll and stick it on the bum
Most controversial? what are you talking about, get outta here man...
Another masterpiece! (MH3U is my most nostalgic MH game tho)
The pokke village theme is so soothing. No matter if I succeed in a hunt or not I still feel welcomed in the village.
MHFU is such a goated game. It truly teaches you just how to be good at dodging and learning that some monster can and still do have stupid hitboxes.
That throwback part of the videos is freakin awesome. Almost stared tearing up.
Oh man how i wish for a remake but keeping the good stuff untouched
This is the first Monster Hunter I played, when I see this video it gives me chill
This video is so great, stylish, I love it.
Also, Zhongli's theme strangely fits MH
Playing MHFU is such a godsend for me. I Basically cheesed MH3rdP and while playing MHGU, I only need to familiarize the Hunting Styles. Ahtal-Ka was a really fun Monster to fight, the only "Elder Dragon" that made me pumped up so far.
MHFU has a really simplified attack moves yet I really, really like it since it is me first game.
That Kezu hitbox always took some time to get used to.
Mhfu where its always hammer time
My and my wife just started replaying generations ultimate yesterday,these games just hit different
Good times, I’ve bought a new console for every new monster hunter that I could (buying the “ultimate” versions for them) except portable 3rd since that one didn’t release outside Japan. Even got base world twice for example xD.
Also started out with freedom unite and only because when I was on a school trip my mate told me to get this psp game he happened to have with him on said trip saying that we could play together and the rest is history.
What, Rise is controversial.
I had no idea
Going back to nintendo hardware which was less powerful, game felt easy for a lot of peeps aside from that it was the most fun a lot of people played.
*plesioth hipcheck flashbacks*
If I'd give 1 word to MHFU, it's G(old)
Currently playing the game and my intro to MH since last year. Through all it's flaws, love this game to it's core
my God! the editing of this video is simply amazing!! +1 subscribed, as I hadn't seen it before man
God I remember being introduced to the MH games.. We were on vacation in America and went to Best Buy where I checked out the games section to see if there was anything I could add to my PSP collection. Then I saw a cover with some tiger-like monster and a guy with a giant samurai sword which immediately got my interest. Turns out you had to either buy games in Europe for a Europe-purchased PSP or the other way around, so I had to freaking buy another PSP to play.
Boy it was so worth it. I had never stuck to a game for so long wherever I went. Everything was significantly hard for me but also rewarding to complete. The frustration of having no green-sharpness weapons while still having to beat Yian Kut-Ku was the first challenge to overcome but afterwards things started to make sense. Now that I think of it I can’t imagine I had beaten White Fatalis in MHFU (or MHF2) as a 12-year old but then again, I wouldn’t be able to now. I was such a fan of almost every monster solely for the fact that most of them made memorize their movesets and strategize accordingly. It was a beautiful time leading all the way up to MH World/Iceborne and up to this day I still enjoy every hour I put into the game. The only thing I was hoping for is a sequel to Iceborne or atleast some form of open world online version of the Frontier/Online titles in Asia to spend the next 5 years in.
Oh well, here’s to years of happy gaming.
WE WANT LAO SHAN BACK !!!
Do yourself a favor and play mh4u it's the best MH game
bro lately ive been thinking bout this game so much, i miss those times. Great video dude!
The best way to describe the freedom unite experience is to show the tail hitboxes
And the Plesioth Hipchecks.
@@Endersoul-tx1of god plesioth was one hell of a fight
My first ever true monster hunter game (started with tri but never took it seriously) played over 300 hours of it
Wait u can kill the big red lizard i though you could only repell him
yep! It does require you to make efficient use of your weapon's DPS capability to deal enough damage to kill in the time you are given, but it sure is possible!
During the worst years of my life I discovered MHF2 while talking to some people I knew on a rental store, we had all bought psp's coincidentally during that same period and then started playing Freedom 2, we gathered at my place and did 1500 hours on it, and then Freedom Unite released, and 3500 hours later we created another character to clock more 2000 hours.
This fucking game gave me the best friends I've ever had during the worst time of my life, I am very thankful to have discovered this back in the day.
All that said, after playing World, I find these old games unplayable, I watch these nostalgia videos and I wonder "man how tf was I able to clock so many hours into this" lol
Pokke village is my birth place always be my home... Anyways
I dont fear any monsters but only ONE MHFU VETS FEAR MOST
"PLESIOTH HYPERSPACE TACKLE HIPCHECK!! AND HITBOXES????"..... who used range gun are cowards on plesioth, JOIN THE SUFFERING OF HIPCHECK
[ Longsword vet joined the hunt ]
Me and my brother still have PSP and we have MHFU there we finished the game (solo quests and Guild quests) through patience and hardwork.
Ah yes my very 1st MH.. Mh Portable 2nd, hunting Tigrex using Mafumofu armor in Popo Tongue quest, not knowing I can skip fighting him entirely. Spend 800+ hours on PSP for this game
Try mh2 from ps2, when you should use both analog stick for attack and defend, not buttons, and LS is just like GS.. 🤣🤣
So much nostangia and PTSD
I saw the thumbnail and knew INSTANTLY. Only game I played besides rise, fun even though I sucked
As MHFU veteran when I still can't forget my reaction when is suddenly dodge an avoidable attack cuz Capcom keeps nerfing these hit box. still today whenever's I fought a nargacuga and Rajang and I dodge it it doesn't seem to be normal it's like playing baby mode
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite was epic and a proper difficult game to solo online mode. Mane matches too me the full 49 mins. I usually hammer Lao as well, and only use hammer for him. Other than that it's GreatSword or Bow all the way. I spent over 600 hours on this. Now I look back and think. All those gathering etc gone to waste. Pixels sitting in the corner of that red box somewhere. Nice vid nostalgic indeed.
If you 100% the O.G. PS2 Monster Hunter you gain foresight IRL.
I swear i hate that i must Play mhrise i want mh world 2man i need that Atmosphere Just everything was better than mhrise.
I hate every New Monster from mhrise the flagship Monster Looks Like it CAME out from dauntless lol, the world is fk Boring only the Gameplay is good i Like the bug mechanic.
Freedom unite is my first MH game. I have to google how to kill Bulldrome.
And how terrified a giant d!ck with wings and thunder can be.
How satisfied to finally kill a tigerex. I fell invincible by that time. How naive I am.
6:08 damn defeating tiggy with a hammer, ur a chaddd. Reach High Rank and defeat 2 Tigrex HAAHAH damn it brings back memories...
MHFU still has the most beautiful OST with Pokké village.
Reacting to the intro : MH4U is the best opus before world release. (don't) change my mind
I still go back to mhfu in my Vita,first experience with mh was with a psp demo disk(remember those?)of the game. Lance main ever since.
Still playing it with other players too (H*nsterverse) and surprisingly its still have a lot of players along with MHP3rd nowadays.
Amazing some one packing mhfu+mhp2nd G +DLC=one game 🤧👍
When you forgot to throw paintball. And you dont know its flight pattern😆😆😆😆
I will always stay with this: imo MH4U is the best one
every monhunt fan first journey.
i always remember how eagle cleaver and its progression was my favorite LS
I never ended up beating the crimson and white Fatalis’s. About a year ago I went back to try crimson again and I got bodied, so him and white will stay undefeated by me.
Mhfu is both the most horrible and the best monster hunter
Imo, it has the best monster and map, I wish the map is back in future MH game. Especially the forest and hills. Also, it has the best desert soundtrack.
Ya know i got so confused when i heard Rex Incognito at the beginning.... thought Genshin was following me to different places
Who remembers playing monster hunter on PSP, it brings back good memory, the golden fish was the best fish for me.
Where is the Master and Overlord of monster the great Congalala? My cousin and I would take him on whenever we wanted to have fun... good time.
Now I miss Pokke farm and Plesioth with hyperspace tackle
Plesioth of the pond, tell us your wisdom: "The whole universe is my hip check hitbox."
There's still mhfu and 3rd portable player out there, including me
Not enough vespoids paralyzing you while sharpening or fightning anything
This is why I love emulators, because you have the option to play these games even when the machine they're on becomes obsolete.
yeahhh mhfu where most monster has legendary hitbox plus the bulfangos jesus 😂
btw when i hear the pokke village theme it hit so hard so goood
Bro... 3rd over Mhfu? Are u Crazy? To be more polite i think both are the most memorable
no Monster Hunter game is as controversial as vanilla Plesioth's hitbox
chilledtiger cooping with jsm in mhfu would be an awesome collab amirite
Wait why is there Zhongli's theme melody from Genshin Impact in here
I started with Generations and went to Rise. I didn't like what the game changed, so I decided to go back and solo Freedom Unite.
Good old times where I could Permastun a monster by just mashing a button
Yes, hipcheck was a real annoyance back then, but you know what's worse? When that shark died in water.
As much as I love old style of MH I still think that changes to the recent titles are still a good direction for our beloved fanchise.
Ok I'll meet u halfway, same new graphics and locations, but all these monsters in it o.O
MHW killed the franchise and Rise beats its' dead corpse, stop capping
@@jackstack2136 MHW has the most players in the whole series, so I don't know what you are talking about. Don't get me wrong, my heart is still with the hot spring at Yukumo and granny at Pokke. But MHW is the thing that's helping Capcom keep MH alive for us. You don't have to like it but you need to accept the truth.
@@justascaredpussycat1869 I mean 'killed the franchise' as in Capcom casualized it to the point of no return and it can no longer be considered Monster Hunter. My Classic family is somewhat tight-knit; I dont know any Fifth Fleeters and intend to keep it that way. We just come from different communities and you need to accept that.
@@jackstack2136 delusional boomer with dementia chill, new ≠ bad
This was actually my first monster hunter game because it was free for ps plus one month, I think around the same time I also got freedom wars for free
I had this game on mobile and if i never got it I would never of known about this amazing series. I tried to reinstall it recently but it is no longer compatible with the new Ios. Capcom has ended ties with the game and is no longer for sell in the app store and has been left forever. I cry tears
