Old video so I don't know if you'll see this, but have you heard they are shutting down the online services for the 3DS and WiiU next year? That means that MH4U and MH3U will no longer have online functionality. If you have never played it before, I would suggest playing 4U before it happens because some of the coolest monsters in the series show up at the G rank, like Dalamadur and Gogmazios, and it's best experienced with a group. Also, the story for the game is the best in the series. I wouldn't want any fan of the games to miss out, so I figured I'd comment and try to let you know.
Generations on the 3DS was my most played monster hunter game. I hunted EVERYTHING, got 100% in both guild and village quests and was still playing because I wanted to get all the maxed out weapons and armor for the hell of it. This vid brought back a lot of fond memories.
Man I wish my 3ds still worked. I’ve lost contact with so many friends from Generations. Every once in a while I remember them and I get sad all over again.
"This is a mother of all omelet here." One of my favorite videos by far that makes me grind ear to ear watching and hearing people enjoy what they love.
You know what, I'm not gonna lie I watched like 13 minutes of this video and its convinced me to pick up gen ultimate again. I was always a little apprehensive about it because I always felt like World and Rise spoiled me with their mechanics and quality of life stuff, but I've been falling off so much with Rise(Even with Sunbreak on the horizon) that its making me yearn for something more. So yeah, I'm gonna play that game for a bit and then probably watch the rest of this.
Also, falling off on base mh games are completely normal. People stop playing mhgen after they complete it to play mh4u, people stop playing mhw the go play mhgu and so on. Its all a cycle and you are in it.
Monster Hunter is not an MMO, so it's totally fine to fall off and go back to earlier ones. I'm just glad that Rise is made by the portable people. Already played the heck out of GenU, so personally I don't feel the need to go back, I just play a different game altogether lel.
Quality of Life improvements are great and all, but if you lose the core of the game for QoL... that is not great That what World/Iceborne and Rise did
9:13 As a Monster Hunter fan as of Tri, I can TOTALLY relate. The tutorial sections of these games, at least pre-World, are a complete slog to work through. The later-game stuff, though, makes it SO worth it. Also, Moofie is superior to Poogie in every possible way.
MHGU and Mh3U were my all time favorite monster hunters when it came to armor; but MHGU will always be my favorite due to the effects and impact. Not to mention being able to play as palicos. I'm just glad more people are enjoying this masterpiece
So glad to see ya enjoying GU, ever since I saw your long MH video I knew you'd love this entry Hopefully you get to see the engame content, it takes a long while to get to, but it's amazing
Gotta say thanks for playing this game again. It's been a long time since I played this game and I miss the days of me and my three friends shouting and laughing in the same room playing this.
"It's like Freedom but with more shit" Wow, I never thought I hear a more true statement. I will say I love Rise for the same reason you said, but I'm hoping Sunbreak gives us more to do in the post game.
This is the first video of yours I've ever watched and I'm absolutely hooked. I could watch endless episodes of you playing MonHun Much love from the UK
Seeing JFJ play Generations Ultimate makes me excited that, whenever episode 2 comes out, he'll fight the Gore Magala (my favorite monster in the franchise and flagship monster of 4 Ultimate)
Yes!! I love this game! It's the farm and prep of the og games but have the cool customization of skills and what not of the newer titles. Such a gem of the series.
I feel GenU is the best mh game period in terms of gameplay and art direction. The games about fighting big ass fantasy fucking monsters with fantasy fucking big weapons. AND THE MULTIPLE HUNTING STYLES make EVERY weapon feel varied to the point where i never wanted to change my weapon because i felt like i was using a different weapon with each hunting style. Trying to be realistic? Is the stupidest shit ever. That's partially why i hated world. Because yeah the mechanics and qol stuff was amazing but it didn't feel like that highly fiction monster hunter feel most of the games have. The game isn't real. Its setting isnt real. So pushing it to that territory DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. *COUGHBONEIRONWEAPONVARIANTS* The games highly fucking fantasy like so embracing that brings the best out of it. Which is also why i LOVE the hunter arts. It feels like it belongs and something a hunter would actually do when backed into a corner. And to anyone who complains.. About hunter arts being too op.. My brother in christ. You can opt out not to use them XD YOULL STILL MANAGE JUST FINE i mean i played through half of genU without using a single hunter art! Look i like world. I like rise. But GenU will always be the best for me because its peak monster hunter! So much armour and weapons and fashion to DO MY GUY
Good to see im not the only one who enjoy some sns/gs in the air or rollin gameplay (very clear ik)^^! Dunno if efficient but fun (Dunno... I hope you have a great day person who read this. Or night. Kay?)
I use three type of weapons: Melee, defensive and ranged. For ranged, I think Bow is the best. It has agility power and technicality. You really need to understand it in order to effectively use it. I love using it.
28:58 *THERE I AM GARY* 29:29 *choo choo* also thanks astalos since now my message got zoomed in on a JFJ video you're still my favorite of the fated four.
Honestly man, Gen U was the perfect middleground of the old-school and modern monster hunter games. The "hunting" is still there and you also have the flashy shit like the hunter arts and styles.
Your first kill with the hammer sealed the deal for me. I’m getting Generations asap. It’s gonna be my first MH that’s before World and I’m kinda nervous lol
One thing that I love about Hunter Arts more than Silkbind attacks is it cant be spammed You can get item and skill that increase the rate of build up, but its still not significant enough
@@martinaaricgo1029 You can get fucked easily with Adept in end game. Bloodbath has an attack where it hits 3 times in 1 second . Valor can get fucked too the same way too For most of the time, I either use Guild or Striker, or in rare occasion Aerial I just laugh at people carting because the Style they picked screwed them over
It really is a fun game. The sheer amount of content is a blast and you have such a massive monster roster. Im currently playing through every monster hunter i own.
Out of every monster hunter game this is the only game in which I like EVERY weapon because of the styles valor and adept longsword and greatsword Valor light bowgun Adept heavy bowgun Aerial glave Adept dual blades And of course a few more but I'm lazy to list them
I'm a new sub coming from your Remnant 2 video, but I'm a HUGE Monster Hunter fan, and I did not know you played Monster Hunter games, watching all of your Monster Hunter videos, my first Monster Hunter game was Monster Hunter on the PS2.
I have always love monster hunter and Generation Ultimate was always my favorite of the series and I'm glad to see one of my favorite UA-camrs playing it
Oh lordy watching this is just getting my blood pumping, I got my DS at the repair shop and playing MHGen first thing when it's fixed. Typing this at 24:44 cuz oh lordy jeepers yes, aerial hammer with the two-hit A button is something you aim for when learning a monster as an aerial main. To learn the moves and never fail that second hit. I gotta say I appreciate your appreciation of aerial style lol
when you look up mhug this is the first video that pops up and honestly theres not another video that would have convinced me to play a game i already own faster
Coming from world to rise and now GU I can agree 100% lol. If anything I'm enjoying it a lot more than the other two especially as an IG main. It's SO fun to use and just the vast majority of monsters is amazing lmao.(except for a few monsters that make me want to scream) Tbh i got it a while ago but only got 2 hours in because there was a lot to take in and it was a bit overwhelming and hard to grasp at the time. But I dusted off my save and started playing it again like 3 or 4 days ago and I already have close to 40 hours in already now xD I've found amazing people to play with everytime i go on and the hunts are great lol. Idk why I didn't play it sooner ;o; (had a friend years ago who tried to get me to play this back on the 3ds at the time but I didn't. I should have listened) but now I have! And it's great lol. Tbh I see myself playing this ontop of sunbreak when it's released. And onwards!
Ik that Valor is technically the best dps for Greatsword, but adept is so much more fun to me and I’m glad JFJ had fun with it. Makes me feel justified lol
Man, this game reminds me of how good old mounting was. I really could care less about wyvern riding, and sometimes it sucks cuz you can just be in the middle of a combo and the stupid thing activate and now I gotta ram the creature into another for me to do anything. In this? Nah, it’s simple damage that’s rewarded for taking a gamble. I love old mounting
Holy smokes this guy is just so naturally funny. His wording and shit and when he yelled at the cats for blowing his face off... I lost my shit on multiple occasions. Favorite quite is definitely "my good bitch" :D
Was hoping J would talk about the exact in-between of Rise and FU. Now if you wanna go further, the in-between of FU and GU is Portable 3rd which looks even worse and only has High rank but it's fantastic.
Btw this video isn't sponsored by the gamersupps people but the JFJ code is real. And the waifu cup promotion was weeks ago and not in effect anymore.
Thx daddy

Those single frames of getting hit immediately cutting are quite the humorous ones

Try playing sunbreak, the game itself kinda shifts into more difficulty like how it works with iceborne.
Also, falling off on base mh games are completely normal. People stop playing mhgen after they complete it to play mh4u, people stop playing mhw the go play mhgu and so on. Its all a cycle and you are in it.

if you liked playing bowgun you have to try out the alchemy style light bowgun you can pretty much spam your hunting arts.
Quality of Life improvements are great and all, but if you lose the core of the game for QoL... that is not great
That what World/Iceborne and Rise did
9:13 As a Monster Hunter fan as of Tri, I can TOTALLY relate. The tutorial sections of these games, at least pre-World, are a complete slog to work through. The later-game stuff, though, makes it SO worth it.
Also, Moofie is superior to Poogie in every possible way.
You shut your mouth. You shut your GODDAMN MOUTH. POOGIE WILL NOT BE DETHRONED
the 3U tutorial deadass one of the hardest parts of the game if ur new
Moofie supremacy, love to see it
First time I saw a Moofa, I thought "Poogie ain't got nothing on these guys" then I saw Moofie and I was just head-over-heels in love.
All heil Moofie!!! Away with Poogie!!!
MHGU and Mh3U were my all time favorite monster hunters when it came to armor; but MHGU will always be my favorite due to the effects and impact. Not to mention being able to play as palicos.
I'm just glad more people are enjoying this masterpiece
Palicoes were so much fun.
Such a unique experience.
I hope they bring it back one day.
