Brings back memories playing this for the first time at my friends when I was a small kid. Glad this great series has stayed with me throughout my life
I love that Monster Hunter had you earn the right to hunt a large monster in the beginning. The egg carry is a right of passage. Even more I love that you featured the struggle in this video! Remember bulfangos while egg carrying?
The "foggy" jungle imagery, the jungle noises, and especially the UI SFX really brings back the memory. Although, I kinda wish you put some sort of controller input overlay to show newcomers/remind old guards how OUT-OF-THE-BOX JANK the control was 😂
There is no feeling compare to this when u played it for the first time on ps2!!!❤ This game is the game of my life, the way i bought every console just to play this game in every title🥰
Same, technically, I first played Tri on the wii and didn't pick it up again until I played Freedom Unite years later. However, I didn't truly start to feel the thrill of the hunt until I played the Freedom Unite game, so I don't consider my mh journey starting because I didn't go back to Tri until YEARS later when it was released on the ds systems
For me it was first MH3U cuz i got it for Christmas alongside Pokemon Y and a 3DS XL. Liked it but i didnt turn into a fan instantly, it wasn’t til i truly started by buying Freedom Unite for my PSP i became a major fan of the games, marking the start of my Journey. Then 4 Ultimate was the first i put a whopping 400 hours into and turned into a G-rank hunter for the first time. Been following the series ever since.
such a memorable moment, when the first time to play this game. As a dinosaur enthusiast this was driving me insane but turn out to be long journey until now. Still waiting how more amazing MH Wild can be
Stepping out into the forest and hills for the first time was just magnificent, I really wish we could have an up to date version in one of the new games
This is cool watching since oldest monster hunter games I got to play were on the 3DS! I first started with monster hunter 4 then got into generations!
I picked this up in a " 3 games for £15" deal from my local games store as a kid, and now my own kids play Worlds with me now asking about this game going to be awesome to show them now it all started for so many of us
I remember whenever i do new game for the early titles, first thing i did was buy pickaxes and bugnets and farm til the time ran out on every beginner mission because you will definitely need them in the endgame, screw buying armor lol.
Dang man. My first MH game was MH4U with a handful of friends and I can’t imagine trying to play this game as a kid. I’m so hyped for Wilds but nothing can get beat the subtlety of classic MH.
I still feel like there would be value in re-releasing monster hunter 1-4. I know gen 5 introduced players will absolutely despise them (especially 1 and 2) but it be great to show how far the series has come as well as elements we've sadly lost.
Wow 20 years ago, I hated Monster Hunter 1 initally due to the controls and watched my brothers play the hell out of it. Then in during of '05 I got into needing a game to play before going to college and once I learned the controls I got hooked. One of my favorite game series next to the Resident Evil and Metal Gear series. I hope in Wilds or in other MH game we can go back the villages of the older games.
I already played this when i was a kid, Unfortunately what i didnt know was if your playing solo its automaticly set to 4 player difficulty no matter what. I didnt know that if you wanted to play the early Monster hunter that you needed to play with others or you get the penalty. How do you get a internet connection in 2004, in america for monster hunter was a big ask and very painful after learning about it.
Is it wrong that i wish Capcom would re-release the first 4 generations of monster hunter in a bundle on current systems? I understand that it wont be the exact same games due to varius reasons, but as i could only get into Monster Hunter from World, and i have no means to get the older versions of the games, this would be the only way i currently could experience them
not wrong at all. Theres value in them. Heck, plenty of old school monsters that people that started with gen 5 never had the chance to experience. I think the biggest reason Capcom haven't done it yet is honestly the multiplayer servers. It would be costly to have different servers running for different monster hunter games especially when the popularity would be questionable. A lot of what people flocked to with monster hunter world didnt exist until that entry, namely being a lot more approachable.
Well to be fair they Kinda did that with Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Its not exactly the same but it collects all the essence of each MH before World in 1 game
@@BlaizeTheDragon I get the server issues, I'm just hoping for a megaman collection-like game that can be played on modern consoles, namely xbox as its what I have, lol
@@LucasCastro-rt3ihwhich is really cool, until I remember I don't have a switch, lol. And if I ever do get one, it's on my list of games to get. But I would like something along the lines of the megaman collection
Quiz time! Who can name the online exclusive monsters for the original Monster Hunter on PS2? I believe there are 4 in total, but might be more. No cheating!
Gen 1 jungle, to me, is still the most annoying map I've ever played in Monster hunter due to that area with so many trees, it's taking over your screen 😅
Both the music and sound design of older monster hunter was extremely punchy and memorable. First thing im doing when Wilds drops is getting a classic sound effects mod because the new sounds just dont do it for me
Back in the day I'd go to the store to rent games and whenever I'd see the Monster Hunter cover it never enticed me. Then I'd see gameplay online and still would pass. Now I can see that new IP take time to build an audience. (To be fair all the vets say MH1 is not for the meek.)
Oh god no. Monster hunter 1 and 2 are completely different beasts to what we have today. The hitboxes are mental, the attacks are so slow it makes dark souls look like youre playing super smash bros and the ungodly control scheme where the right analogue stick is used to attack and not camera movement (thats what the face buttons are for of course. Why wouldn't they be?) and of course the most stiff movement in PS2 game history makes for an... Interesting experience.
*The game that started everything*

I DROPPED ALL THE THINGS IN MY BASKET AT THIS WALMART WHEN I SAW THE NOTIFICATION

This is a reminder of how much it has evolved, and also how little it has changed since then.😅
Where it all started

Damn this brings back memories lol
That iconic village music is just perfect
This intro, that song! ❤
Commenting for the algo! Can’t wait to watch the play through
Love this as a series idea leading up to Wilds - can't wait!
About time someone does a playthrough of the OG MH game. I'm hoping for some commentary and some good old fashion Lance gameplay for future videos.

You know guys, I would REALLY appreciate if you did proper Monster Hunter let's plays. There are SO FEW good MH let's plays
True
What a way to start off 2025!
Happy new year everyone 🎉
Nothing hits harder than those old Ecology Videos. They really made you feel like you were in a living, breathing world full of dangerous monsters.
mad respect playing this gem
That first few seconds, ahhhh turning the psp on and this was all I played.
Oh god the nostalgia. Smother me good.

My inner child is so happy right now 😍
So nostalgic 🥲😭
The Monster Hunter Freedom!!
44:23 pressing triangle on accident because you forgot the game used the right joystick to attack is so real
Would love to see a remake/remaster of this game with updated controls!
I still feel like there would be value in re-releasing monster hunter 1-4. I know gen 5 introduced players will absolutely despise them (especially 1 and 2) but it be great to show how far the series has come as well as elements we've sadly lost.
I used to be so scared of the yian Kut-Ku. I was just a teenager I think lol.
Hero of kokoto village assembles 😤
That intro music…. 🤌
I still remember I couldn't go past kutku for years 😭
Ahh nostalgiaaaa lez go
Nostalgia! Thanks for the early year dopamine hit

Mh generation
Waiting for part 2
good ol days
The memories......
This is a classic
My MH journey started with Freedom Unite on PSP.
Same here! I played online through ad-hoc on my PS3. Half of my friends list back then was people I met playing Freedom Unite with.
been playing from gen 1. takes me back.
are you guys going to be playing online there is a server for mh1
MH1 is for Man's.
MH1 G Is for Legends.

Lmao I used to love this game. Wait til you get to fatalis 🤣
Am i the only one that was disappointed for no voice-over?
but still the mh style was already so good and unique
YUHHHHHHH
lol the Egg mission must have been so frustrating 😅
Imagine how much, I almost closed the video when he dropped the egg due to draining stamina out lmao

I wish I could have tried this game but I never had the console for it
so used to seeing the new rath design, the old one feels odd to me now...
I remember playing this all the time besides being inside my sister. Bring on Wilds we played every game since the first more or less.
Get the modem!!!
Monster hunter is so popular capcom travelled back in time to make a prequel

Gen 1 jungle, to me, is still the most annoying map I've ever played in Monster hunter due to that area with so many trees, it's taking over your screen 😅
Honestly i find it worse with the ancient forest in World. Theres so much visual clutter there it's extremely distracting from the fight.
@ Ancient Forest doesn't have multiple bullfangos tryna bulldoze you every damn second 😂😭
Aw no commentary? :(
2:28 hehe
bring back these type of BGM pls 😔

@BlaizeTheDragon i heard they were going to make wilds super anti cheat heavy even not allowing self mods 😳
Omg MH1. So old... so dated... so... BELOVED.
This decoding or utube makes this look like 26 fps or smthn xD
The most obnoxious thing in old gen are the ridiculous joystick to attack
