Shout out to you man. You really did your thing with these history videos, they're very well structured and truly give a lot of insight into the series. Keep it up!
I don't exactly know if you ever found it out during playing, but the difference between a wyvern and a dragon is, mytlogically seen, that a wyvern only has two hind legs and a pair of wings whilst a dragon has four legs and two wings. This means a Rathalos is a wyvern, and a Daora would be classified as a regular dragon. A Deviljoh wouldn't be a dragon at all, mytologically seen, but a sci-fi dinosaur. The sub classifications of wyvern, like bird or fanged wyvern, have no mytological source and were made by the game, tough a wingless dragon (a fanged wyvern as the Zinogre for example) would be classified as a "drake". A dragon with more than 4 legs would be called a "salamander", tough I can't remember MH having any of these, and a leviathan is actually a fantasy reptilian, mostly serpent like, which cannot fly. The best example from Monster Hunter for a mytological leviathan is the Lagiacrus. I hope I could help you to explain some things. Good luck for future videos, i'll be waiting for more! :)
I think the game is at It's strongest when you take on a monster solo, which might be an unpopular opinion. I do really enjoy playing the game with others though, there is just something about learning the moves of a monster when It's only focused on you and taking it down that for me personally is the most fulfilling aspect of MH.
Being born on a third world country and the only kid that has a psp this is my childhood. I remember fighting tigrex on mhfu makes me want to throw my psp. But after dozen of times dying to him i freaking mastered and killed the beast and it felt so good.
I'm looking to start MHW with a friend or two soon but I played MHFU and MH on the 3ds alone and loved every moment. I remember being frustrated but I also remember those fights being so rewarding once I figured out how to solo monsters :) I'm sure playing with friends will be fun but I am going to dip my toes into solo hunts haha
I’d say this is true, until you get to G Rank. After a while G Rank just becomes draining to solo. It’s fun for a bit when learning a monster, but farming and progressing is almost impossible to enjoy.
@@gyuuu1330 I started 2 weeks ago but I've been playing Dragon Dogma...it's almost the same sort of combat mechanics. Both games are made by Capcom. Some dragons even behave the same. I just have more variety weapons/vocations to play with, now. Im used to having daggers/magic bow or Magic Knight..and JUMPING/SCALING during Combat..That's why I use the Glaive. Im deadly with it...that's all the monster runs when they smell me.lol it's hard for me to play games LESS jumping during combat. You basically do same sort of collecting drops from dragons..ect to upgrade your weapons/armor. Collect different plants..ect to craft. You need certain elements to defeat certain monsters...You can wack all day long using to most powerful swore in dragon dogma..but it'll barely do damage to the final boss.lmao
I fell asleep to this, and had a dream where I actually had more than 2 IRL friends that had rise, and we all had a monster Hunter party in our patio, fire burning, and well-done steak cooking. It was one of the best dreams I've had in a while. :')
Nice dream. Be greatful, you could be like me, 42 years old with no friends who play games like this. Some play mmos but none play monster hunter. So I have solo everything.
Monster Hunter Rise is my first proper run, and I'm so in love with it that I wanted to know everything I could about the series. That led me here, so thanks for your work.
Played world with others and didn't understand one bit of how anything works and Rise was my very first MH game that I truly understood everything and now it's been so damn fun playing.

I've been unfathomably in love with Monster Hunter for so many years now. It wasn't until Freedom Unite that I finally got friends to buy PSPs and play with me. The thousands of hours sunk into Ad-Hoc party on PS3 are some of my fondest gaming memories ever. Of the friends I played with I still have one, and he and I still find time to play at least a few hours a month. We ran through Iceborne and will start on Rise. I'm really glad the series is so much more popular now, it looks like it won't be going anywhere and future iterations are sure to come. Love the channel, man! All this content is awesome! I'm about to start Rise tonight, looking forward to many more years of this amazing series.

@@Six3rdy maybe someday. When I miss him. As it triggers memories good and bad that I can turn into a true story. I actually made one already for my homework but I lost it.
I can't express enough how badly I wish I could have played this series from the start, or from the very popular PSP games. I'm sure my younger self might have not understood this game as much as when I finally did start playing. But I'm glad I did find this game and start playing it as seriously as I have because it's become my second favorite series of all time and I really am hoping that it stays popular well after Monster Hunter: World :3
As someone who started with it at a young age (from the psp and I’m only 21 now) let me tell you, it was rough, I could hardly kill the early game bird wyverns lmao but it is an amazing series
yeah this guy's right. just pick one of the newer ones and appreciate the fact you will never a plesioth hip check. plus most of the monsters from the early days make a return to all later titles.
Looked this up just by chance after playing a little MHW. Wondered what the old ones were like. Was not expecting this level of quality, or to find it was made by the coolest looking guy in a sweater to've lived.
Petting Poogie is kind of a ritual for me getting ready for a hunt. I made a short guide one time for pre-hunt checks that included the final and most important task a Hunter must do: Don't forget to pet the Poog! Good luck head pats :)
the story behind me starting monster hunter feels like a major lesson to me, my father bought me monster hunter world as a gift. I never heard of the games and didn’t even know if I’d like game, but because he went out of his way to buy it for me I gave it a try. Some years later my father is sadly no longer with me and I have over a thousand hours between mhw,mhr and mhgu. Don’t be so quick to judge things, you never know if you could really like it.
It's amazing how a seemingly simple game about killing monsters has been able to evolve and receive so many new ideas and content over the years it has existed. It never feels like a rehash or a lazily developed game, but a NEW MH game that anyone can enjoy, whether it be veterans or newbies. It's a series that has aged extremely well.
Monster Hunter has always been one of my favourite series after I discovered 3 Ultimate years ago, and I'm glad it's getting the popularity and recognition it deserves in recent years.
I found out about Monster Hunter through a mod for the game Ark: Survival Evolved which added many monsters from the series to the game. This was before World released and that became my first Monster Hunter game. Since then I've gone back and played through the games I missed out on! Honestly I'm surprised I never knew about the series beforehand! It's right up my alley and I absolutely adore the series now that I've found it!
Bro that’s crazy, that’s literally identical to what I did. Found out about it through an Ark mod, played world, and went back and played the older games. Rn I’m having tons of fun with 3U since I got it’s online to work through emulation.
I am really impressed with how monster hunter 1 immediately nailed the animations and feel of monster hunter that hardly went unchanged since then, hell the game graphically looks like some of the best on Ps2 as well, that jungle environment looks awesome. Can’t help but to feel cheated at the same time though…they must have constantly reused the same stuff for decades.
MH1 up through FU was basically an expanded version of the same game each time. 3rd generation is where they started trying something different. 3U is still one of my all-time favorite games. I love 2nd gen, but 3rd gen on is where the series truly starts to shine in my eyes.
Good stuff man. Been playing and a hardcore fan of this series with my buddies since ps2. It's been a huge part of our lives from elementary school (since we were about 8 or 9ish) to now with the upcoming release of rise with us all being 25+ now. It's kept us all together since the beginning up until now. Seeing some gameplay of the old games like freedom unite and 4u really brings back great memories
When fight Zorah for the first time and the theme starts playing, I started tearing up, my nostalgia just flooded and overloaded my brain. This series will always have a very special place in my heart and no other games has come close to make me feel like this. Waiting for Rise to drop on PC so I can smack the new roster with my trusty Greatsword. Happy Hunting Hunters!
Found the perfect video to lead me through my nostalgic journey through the MH series. I grew up in Canada but spent my teenage years in Japan; everyone around me was completely hooked on Portable 3rd. That’s where I got onboard as well, I got Freedom Unite on the Online Store a few years previously but didn’t know how to gather resources so I quit for a while, and the prompts above your head in 3rd definitely helped me out. Love this series, and love this video! Kudos to a fellow MH fan. Thanks for explaining the goodness of these games to the masses. Looking forward to future uploads!!!
I just watched it in its entirety in one go. Very accurate description of the whole MH franchise. As a player who started in generation 1 I have to say it is the most consistent series of games I ever witnessed. It has 3 core things that it kept doing across all those years IMO: - Hunting big bad boys with big weaponry - Experimentation - Never truly underdeliver It is my absolute favorite franchise and my favorite gaming community in all of gaming. I hope you are having a blast with your upcoming games and videos man.
Omg what a treat I can never get tired of watching those. Thanks for your work guys! Its amazing to see older gens getting love and being covered as well.
My first game was Tri and I probably had the most fun and nostalgia with that one, I remember being stuck on No Guts, No Glory fort so long because I was scared shitless of Lagiacrus, it was playing the game online that got me passed it, something about playing with other people made the game a bit more accessible in the beginning, and there's just so many memories of that time, Loc Lac is my favourite hub next to Pokki and Moga. Some time after I got Freedom Unite and played the hell out of it, but never got to play online so it was a solo run, but still fun. Only got 3U on ds so made little progress til years later when my brother got it and we had a big playthrough of it. 4U was weird, the fastest I ever got through a MH game online and offline and the least hesitant I was with new monsters, in some ways I'm fond of it, but it was the start of me falling out of the series. Still got Gen and GenU though because my brother insisted we play them together, did end up enjoying GenU in the end, it was a nice nostalgia trip. World is fun, but I haven't got into as much since I don't actually own it, I love the updates to the classic game play, but it really feels like what I was expecting 4 to be. Looking forward to Rise, was put off at first, but after playing the demo a few times I'm actually really excited, it helps that there so much praise for gen 3 by the looks of it, feels like it's all coming full circle to me xD
Not only have I seen each of these video's separately, bit this is my third viewing of this super cut. Gotta love your tone, very calming but still enticing me for repeat views.
It's cool to finally have all of your videos together. Was a pain chasing down each one. I'll save this to watch again whenever I want😁. Such awesome content!
I’m so thankful that COVID is what actually got me into MH. I bought world and played 30 hours and still wasn’t sure about it. Set it down for a year and played it religiously when quarantine started
Thank you for this. I joined the series in World, so have no knowledge of what came before hand. Through the MH community, I've learnt a few things and was directed to your channel through Reddit forums. I bought a Switch specifically to play MH: Rise and recently picked up a used copy of GenU, so can't wait to experience some of the other monsters in this series.
As someone who came from monster hunter world and is now addicted to rise. I appreciate this video sooooo much. I want to give the series the respect it deserves and this helps so much. Good shit 🔥❤🔥
i have adored keeping up with this game since i was a kid, i've been a MH kid all my life from the first one all the way to rise, and i've never had so much joy keeping up with anything else other than this series. amazing series, my all time favorite, and glad to be a hunter along with everyone else
This man, thank you so much for sharing this. From seeing the series as something nobody else knew about, to the greatest selling series of all of Capcom’s games. It’s simply amazing, and I’m almost proud in a way to see what the series has a become; a cultural phenomenon all over the world. I cannot wait for MH6 and will be exploring all the classics again while I wait
Hi RAD! I too became a Monster Hunter journey with Monster Hunter Tri, back in 2010. Owning every entry that released in the west (Tri, MH3U, MH4U, MHG, MHU, World (with Iceborne) and now our little "baby" Rise, I fully agree with you, being able to see the evolution in each release is amazing. It's like the game has been in development since the very first installment, and all this cumulative knowledge is applied in the new entry, which makes every new game better than the ones that came before, by building on what the developers learns from each game. Thanks for the awesome video!
I started with Tri and then got a PSP single-handedly to play FU after I saw how much more content it had, I couldn't miss out on all of that. FU made me into a man.
I had tried getting into monster hunter world twice, just didn't click with me. Then a UA-camr I watch made a video on rise/ world. I was like hmm, I kinda wanna play this again. The past week has just been me pretty much doing nothing but devoting 12 hours to hunting. I literally hear the scoutflies when I'm not playing now rofl. I'm very glad that you have a video like this for the vast swathe of people like me that got into the series so late. MH was always one of those games I knew about but never played kinda like dragons quest, it's one of those hallmarks of japanese culture at this point.
I still have one of those and it still works believe it or not, i boot it up sometimes and teach my little sisters to play crash bandicoot on it hahaha
Awesome video. Legit just found you and I genuinely love this! I won't dwell on it for too long, I just honestly find it sad that (outside of speedruns) some people have so much palm sweat that "always optimally fighting the monster" is a requirement. Like come on, chout big smoke, there's literally no leaderboards, no everything has to be a competition
Even though you had been showing the boot up intro for each console the games were on, I still thought my PS4 was bugging out when you got to the World section. Great video!
Thanks for the video! Being honest, your videos about the history of mh are not the first I have seen,but they are the best, your videos make my day, see you in the next video and good luck
@@zeus28frenzy if it make you that mad, just slot a brace jewel in. Honestly I don't see the problem here. What does the LS random supposed to do after cutting the tail? Just sit and watch? Not to mention some monsters are so small even if he's at the tail, it's possible for him to trip you at the head
when i got my first PSP, i was around 10. My parents got it for a chrismas. A friend of mine already had it and i wanted it for a verry long time. When i got it it was like a dream. One day we were in travel, in a foreign country, we entered a little shop, and my parents got me Monster Hunter freedom. Like you i never heard about the game. Boy i spend so much time on this. And one day i eventually lost the console during a car travel, with the game in it. I was SO sad, and furious against myself, because there was no way i got the chance to get an other console and game that i love that much. At my birthday, my parents made me the surprise. They bought me a psp with the new monster hunter freedom unite. I spend a lot of lovely gaming time with this. Thats pretty much how i fell in love for a game for the first time. I dont want to know how much work hours my parent had to do to buy all this, but they just understood my passion for it and made the best present i ever had twice. Thats a golden memory that i will remember if i have the luck to do my kids presents one day.
Freedom Unite was my first contact with the game. What helped was probably that it was a digital download for the game so I couldn’t trade it in. I remember how scary Tigrex used to be and he seemed to be the ultimate challenge I could overcome. That memory is very special to me because nowadays I fight Tigrex and he is my favorite one to fight, but he’s nowhere near the hardest. Just vigorous and fast.
Monster Hunter will forever be one of my favorite series. My first one was when I was about 9 or 10 in '05. My dad got the original for PS2 and kept getting WAXED. Ended up beating his Rathalos for him and that's why to this day its my favorite monster.
This video reminded me of when I was a kid and found my first monster hunter game on the wii u and I was sooooo confused on what was happening so I just gave up and played Mario kart instead but now I’m revisiting it so thanks for the vid
So my very first monster in the game is rise I've always wanted to play monster Hunter I've never had the chance so I went out and got a switch and bought rise and I completely have fallen in love with everything monster Hunter your channel is one of the first channels I actually followed and learned possibly as much as I could about the series in general I even went back and played gu and world I'm in the middle of world and I'm in the beginning of gu I want to play them all at once but it's so hard to juggle but definitely this series has immediately become one of my absolute favorites and your videos have helped it so much, so much appreciation!
This is a fantastic video man, well done! I actually didn’t get started playing MH until Tri came out for the Wii. I broke down and bought one just for that game and played the hell out of it, with the Lagiacrus being my favorite Monster. I just recently went back to playing MH World again while waiting for Rise.
This is a great video! I started with world last year and I’ve clocked over 350 hours now. I’m still loving it and just started Freedom Unite last month. Having a great time with it as well!
Thank you for putting all of this together! It's a fascinating thing to listen to even if...admittedly, I already knew most of it. I just like your takes even if I don't always agree with them lmao Speaking of, damn you did NOT deserve the flak you got for your critique of World/Iceborne. I freely admit, I'm an oldschool hunter, I started with MH1 wayyyyy back in the day. BUT I also think that most of the changes World/IB brought to the table made it better. Something something I felt like I fought the monster more than the camera/controls in general. But you put your points together succinctly and even if I didn't agree, I got where you were coming from and it was interesting to listen to As far as my own stupid hot take goes: clutch claw wasn't that bad imo, but maybe that was just because I rly vindictively enjoyed using it to crash monsters face-first into walls, enough that it overrode the part of me that was mad that hitzones were jumbled up to accommodate tenderizing This got rambly but yes! Thank you for the video, these are a delight to listen to
I've just watched both complete history videos and just wanted to say that these are works of art. you did such a good job explaining everything. Monster Hunter has had an amazing development over all these years and after watching the frontier video I would wish to be able to play it as it seemed so cool. Anyways excellent job on those videos I loved them!!
As someone who was brand new to MH:World in 2020, I've never truly loved a game series as I love this one. The depth of everything from preparation, to items, weapons and their playstyles... to say nothing of discovering a new monster for the first time and being like "I have to fight that thing?" It is truly an epic experience.
1. You probs wont see this being a year after the release 2. Appreciate your time in the video(s) you have made. They are awesome 3. Feel like some of the other things missed in gen 5 were the environment "traps" you could use. The stalactites in elders or the waterfall in the forest. Far cry from the walls that could only be used in older games. The other thing was the exclusion of negative armor effects in world from previous games. Making the game easier because you're not having to balance the set for said negative skills. You also get bonuses for having 3 or more of the same monster. Other more positive things are patches that came in world to stop interrupts on carves. Granted again really small things in overall comparison to what you did. But things that did stick out to me going from gen 4 to 5. The overall quality of life from my start at freedom unite to rise now is just crazy. Again massive props the the work, time and patience you put into the videos
As someone who played every single game available in America water combat is still my favorite thing in any game though the mixed bowgun stuff is up there too
Man, I watch your videos since yesterday. And I'm already obsessed with them. This incredible ammount of time & love you put in your videos... And your appreciation for every single title of MH is just incredible. Please keep on. Ur fkng good at what ur doing. I appreciate ur work man!
I was playing Monster Hunter stories and Monster Hunter rise the entire time I watch this 3-hour video. I've been playing monster hunter games for at least 15 years now and it's really cool to see it all laid out in front of me, I was just a dumb high school kid when I first heard about Monster Hunter and now as an adult I still am in love and enthralled by the series. Thanks for the awesome video.

Was not expecting this level of quality, or to find it was made by the coolest looking guy in a sweater to've lived.
Petting Poogie is kind of a ritual for me getting ready for a hunt. I made a short guide one time for pre-hunt checks that included the final and most important task a Hunter must do: Don't forget to pet the Poog! Good luck head pats :)
WHAT?! Petting the Poogie doesn't increase luck?! I have been living in a world of lies since 2006 😂
it hasnt been proven whether or not, but think about this. do you really wanna risk being wrong and miss out on that sweet sweet poogie luck?
@@MayorMustache never have petted the poogie except for one time in World. Been playing since MH3U.
Syris i have intently never really pet my progress. Sometimes I did it on accident in mh3u
Wait... It was a lie?????
Clearly he is the one lying here
Yes. Inject this straight into my veins, even though i’ve seen them all 3 or more times
the story behind me starting monster hunter feels like a major lesson to me, my father bought me monster hunter world as a gift. I never heard of the games and didn’t even know if I’d like game, but because he went out of his way to buy it for me I gave it a try. Some years later my father is sadly no longer with me and I have over a thousand hours between mhw,mhr and mhgu. Don’t be so quick to judge things, you never know if you could really like it.
its insane how many mechanics stayed since the first game. It always was such a thought out and unique concept....
It's amazing how a seemingly simple game about killing monsters has been able to evolve and receive so many new ideas and content over the years it has existed. It never feels like a rehash or a lazily developed game, but a NEW MH game that anyone can enjoy, whether it be veterans or newbies. It's a series that has aged extremely well.
Monster Hunter has always been one of my favourite series after I discovered 3 Ultimate years ago, and I'm glad it's getting the popularity and recognition it deserves in recent years.
Bro 3 hours worth of monster hunter content... You should receive a youtube achievement (unlocked). GIVE THIS HUNTER MORE LIKES AND SUBS DAMN IT!

>suddenly the German comerical
I dropped by Brezel into my Weizen
I lost it as the ad came up, Jesus Christ thats one hell of a flash of the past
I found out about Monster Hunter through a mod for the game Ark: Survival Evolved which added many monsters from the series to the game. This was before World released and that became my first Monster Hunter game. Since then I've gone back and played through the games I missed out on! Honestly I'm surprised I never knew about the series beforehand! It's right up my alley and I absolutely adore the series now that I've found it!
Huh same here, who'da thunk it
Bro that’s crazy, that’s literally identical to what I did. Found out about it through an Ark mod, played world, and went back and played the older games. Rn I’m having tons of fun with 3U since I got it’s online to work through emulation.
i, as a player who started with rise, watched this entire video. i feel like i’ve learned everything and nothing at the same time.
I am really impressed with how monster hunter 1 immediately nailed the animations and feel of monster hunter that hardly went unchanged since then, hell the game graphically looks like some of the best on Ps2 as well, that jungle environment looks awesome. Can’t help but to feel cheated at the same time though…they must have constantly reused the same stuff for decades.
if it works why change it
MH1 up through FU was basically an expanded version of the same game each time. 3rd generation is where they started trying something different. 3U is still one of my all-time favorite games. I love 2nd gen, but 3rd gen on is where the series truly starts to shine in my eyes.
It was and still is very unique, always keeping it's charm
"Poogie is in every monster hunter to date" *Cries in Monster Hunter Rise*
Don't worry there will be updates .We will have progress back
No one cares
They can still add it eventually
Cohoots are nice, but they're no pig baby
~Rise Expansion Happens~
Poogie: IM BACK BITCHES
I've never been welcomed back so many times in one video.
Good stuff man. Been playing and a hardcore fan of this series with my buddies since ps2. It's been a huge part of our lives from elementary school (since we were about 8 or 9ish) to now with the upcoming release of rise with us all being 25+ now. It's kept us all together since the beginning up until now. Seeing some gameplay of the old games like freedom unite and 4u really brings back great memories
Messaging the homies on AIM to hop on MH
Thanks for this. It has been interesting seeing how the games have evolved over the course of the series's lifetime.
I mean, I ain't complaining. I've already watched the series a couple times. This just gives me an excuse to watch it again.
When fight Zorah for the first time and the theme starts playing, I started tearing up, my nostalgia just flooded and overloaded my brain. This series will always have a very special place in my heart and no other games has come close to make me feel like this. Waiting for Rise to drop on PC so I can smack the new roster with my trusty Greatsword. Happy Hunting Hunters!
Found the perfect video to lead me through my nostalgic journey through the MH series. I grew up in Canada but spent my teenage years in Japan; everyone around me was completely hooked on Portable 3rd. That’s where I got onboard as well, I got Freedom Unite on the Online Store a few years previously but didn’t know how to gather resources so I quit for a while, and the prompts above your head in 3rd definitely helped me out.
Love this series, and love this video! Kudos to a fellow MH fan. Thanks for explaining the goodness of these games to the masses.
Looking forward to future uploads!!!
I just watched it in its entirety in one go.
Very accurate description of the whole MH franchise.
As a player who started in generation 1 I have to say it is the most consistent series of games I ever witnessed.
It has 3 core things that it kept doing across all those years IMO:
- Hunting big bad boys with big weaponry
- Experimentation
- Never truly underdeliver
It is my absolute favorite franchise and my favorite gaming community in all of gaming.
I hope you are having a blast with your upcoming games and videos man.
Omg what a treat
I can never get tired of watching those. Thanks for your work guys! Its amazing to see older gens getting love and being covered as well.
My first game was Tri and I probably had the most fun and nostalgia with that one, I remember being stuck on No Guts, No Glory fort so long because I was scared shitless of Lagiacrus, it was playing the game online that got me passed it, something about playing with other people made the game a bit more accessible in the beginning, and there's just so many memories of that time, Loc Lac is my favourite hub next to Pokki and Moga. Some time after I got Freedom Unite and played the hell out of it, but never got to play online so it was a solo run, but still fun. Only got 3U on ds so made little progress til years later when my brother got it and we had a big playthrough of it. 4U was weird, the fastest I ever got through a MH game online and offline and the least hesitant I was with new monsters, in some ways I'm fond of it, but it was the start of me falling out of the series. Still got Gen and GenU though because my brother insisted we play them together, did end up enjoying GenU in the end, it was a nice nostalgia trip. World is fun, but I haven't got into as much since I don't actually own it, I love the updates to the classic game play, but it really feels like what I was expecting 4 to be. Looking forward to Rise, was put off at first, but after playing the demo a few times I'm actually really excited, it helps that there so much praise for gen 3 by the looks of it, feels like it's all coming full circle to me xD
Not only have I seen each of these video's separately, bit this is my third viewing of this super cut. Gotta love your tone, very calming but still enticing me for repeat views.
It's cool to finally have all of your videos together. Was a pain chasing down each one. I'll save this to watch again whenever I want😁. Such awesome content!
I’m so thankful that COVID is what actually got me into MH. I bought world and played 30 hours and still wasn’t sure about it. Set it down for a year and played it religiously when quarantine started
Thank you for this. I joined the series in World, so have no knowledge of what came before hand.
Through the MH community, I've learnt a few things and was directed to your channel through Reddit forums.
I bought a Switch specifically to play MH: Rise and recently picked up a used copy of GenU, so can't wait to experience some of the other monsters in this series.
How is the ride?
As someone who came from monster hunter world and is now addicted to rise. I appreciate this video sooooo much. I want to give the series the respect it deserves and this helps so much. Good shit 🔥❤🔥
i have adored keeping up with this game since i was a kid, i've been a MH kid all my life from the first one all the way to rise, and i've never had so much joy keeping up with anything else other than this series. amazing series, my all time favorite, and glad to be a hunter along with everyone else
This man, thank you so much for sharing this. From seeing the series as something nobody else knew about, to the greatest selling series of all of Capcom’s games. It’s simply amazing, and I’m almost proud in a way to see what the series has a become; a cultural phenomenon all over the world. I cannot wait for MH6 and will be exploring all the classics again while I wait
Damn, I wish my school taught me this.
You should be a teacher so that you can teach anyone about MonsterHunter History.
3 hours? Hoo BOY!
I just simply love these type of videos,very long talking about the history of a certain game etc. Thanks mate!
of course you release this right after I finish your individual videos ;u;
Haha, it's just there for the sake of it. Thank you for watching them regardless!
I love to just game or study while your history vids are playing in the background, your voice is so relaxing to hear. Thx, good work!
Glad to hear!
Brb, replacing my life support with MH history.
Hi RAD! I too became a Monster Hunter journey with Monster Hunter Tri, back in 2010. Owning every entry that released in the west (Tri, MH3U, MH4U, MHG, MHU, World (with Iceborne) and now our little "baby" Rise, I fully agree with you, being able to see the evolution in each release is amazing. It's like the game has been in development since the very first installment, and all this cumulative knowledge is applied in the new entry, which makes every new game better than the ones that came before, by building on what the developers learns from each game. Thanks for the awesome video!
"Hoping it's fatalis" how right you were
I started with Tri and then got a PSP single-handedly to play FU after I saw how much more content it had, I couldn't miss out on all of that. FU made me into a man.
I had tried getting into monster hunter world twice, just didn't click with me. Then a UA-camr I watch made a video on rise/ world. I was like hmm, I kinda wanna play this again. The past week has just been me pretty much doing nothing but devoting 12 hours to hunting. I literally hear the scoutflies when I'm not playing now rofl.
I'm very glad that you have a video like this for the vast swathe of people like me that got into the series so late. MH was always one of those games I knew about but never played kinda like dragons quest, it's one of those hallmarks of japanese culture at this point.
I’am French so sorry for my english.
This is The BEST monster hunter video I EVER seen on UA-cam !!!
Thank you a lot !
This video is an example of beautiful dedication. Thank you for making this and all the effort it took.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congrats for reaching 10k man. I'm so so proud of you :)
Watched/Listened to this from beginning to end while playing Monster Hunter World, thank-you for all that effort.
Man. Playing rise and seeing those old maps in newer definition was so awesome.
Also glad to have unlimited whetstone uses. Those were dark days
Really enjoyed your video dude. Thanks for all the work you did!
The PS2 sounds still send me back to my childhood ❤️
I never had one. It sends me back to times I would go over to my friend's house to play MX vs ATV 🥲
I still have one of those and it still works believe it or not, i boot it up sometimes and teach my little sisters to play crash bandicoot on it hahaha
@@orange_gamer6251
I still play mine to this day.
@@orange_gamer6251 mine is the fat first model and it still works.. slim version in 2006 also works.
I still have my fat ps2 and play it ever so often. Just last weekend me and the guys played some Budakai 2....good times were had by all.
Awesome video. Legit just found you and I genuinely love this!
I won't dwell on it for too long, I just honestly find it sad that (outside of speedruns) some people have so much palm sweat that "always optimally fighting the monster" is a requirement. Like come on, chout big smoke, there's literally no leaderboards, no everything has to be a competition
Watching this while playing Rise
3 full hour content makers always have mu respect in instant
Liked and subbed

Kushala: Am I a joke to you?
Even though you had been showing the boot up intro for each console the games were on, I still thought my PS4 was bugging out when you got to the World section.
Great video!
Been playing since the beginning. Nice to have some nostalgia and see how far the series has come.
Thanks for the video! Being honest, your videos about the history of mh are not the first I have seen,but they are the best, your videos make my day, see you in the next video and good luck
Yeah I'm THE BEST LETS GO

@@zeus28frenzy if it make you that mad, just slot a brace jewel in. Honestly I don't see the problem here. What does the LS random supposed to do after cutting the tail? Just sit and watch? Not to mention some monsters are so small even if he's at the tail, it's possible for him to trip you at the head
Takes 1 level of flinch free that everyone online should use
@@fishnutz5196 im not wasting a slot just because ls users are dicks
@@centralunit100 I main LS and I played mostly so that people don't hate me :(((
Man, this was incredible! I just watched all of this while chipping away at Rise on PC. Fantastic job
when i got my first PSP, i was around 10. My parents got it for a chrismas. A friend of mine already had it and i wanted it for a verry long time. When i got it it was like a dream. One day we were in travel, in a foreign country, we entered a little shop, and my parents got me Monster Hunter freedom. Like you i never heard about the game. Boy i spend so much time on this. And one day i eventually lost the console during a car travel, with the game in it. I was SO sad, and furious against myself, because there was no way i got the chance to get an other console and game that i love that much. At my birthday, my parents made me the surprise. They bought me a psp with the new monster hunter freedom unite. I spend a lot of lovely gaming time with this. Thats pretty much how i fell in love for a game for the first time. I dont want to know how much work hours my parent had to do to buy all this, but they just understood my passion for it and made the best present i ever had twice. Thats a golden memory that i will remember if i have the luck to do my kids presents one day.
This needs way more views, amazing job on these 👍🏼
Freedom Unite was my first contact with the game. What helped was probably that it was a digital download for the game so I couldn’t trade it in. I remember how scary Tigrex used to be and he seemed to be the ultimate challenge I could overcome.
That memory is very special to me because nowadays I fight Tigrex and he is my favorite one to fight, but he’s nowhere near the hardest. Just vigorous and fast.
Monster Hunter will forever be one of my favorite series. My first one was when I was about 9 or 10 in '05. My dad got the original for PS2 and kept getting WAXED. Ended up beating his Rathalos for him and that's why to this day its my favorite monster.
This video reminded me of when I was a kid and found my first monster hunter game on the wii u and I was sooooo confused on what was happening so I just gave up and played Mario kart instead but now I’m revisiting it so thanks for the vid
played this while farming bherna tickets in mhgu. Made 3 hours feel like 30 minutes. Great series. Keep it up!
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you for making these videos! These videos are what keep me entertained at work ❤️
Glad you like them!
So my very first monster in the game is rise I've always wanted to play monster Hunter I've never had the chance so I went out and got a switch and bought rise and I completely have fallen in love with everything monster Hunter your channel is one of the first channels I actually followed and learned possibly as much as I could about the series in general I even went back and played gu and world I'm in the middle of world and I'm in the beginning of gu I want to play them all at once but it's so hard to juggle but definitely this series has immediately become one of my absolute favorites and your videos have helped it so much, so much appreciation!
Time for part 5.8 with Rise.
Buddy, congrats on 10K. Blown up like CRAZY. You deserve it.
Thanks!
2:55:45 “but I know what I’m hoping for.”Wow that video aged well
This is a fantastic video man, well done! I actually didn’t get started playing MH until Tri came out for the Wii. I broke down and bought one just for that game and played the hell out of it, with the Lagiacrus being my favorite Monster. I just recently went back to playing MH World again while waiting for Rise.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is a great video! I started with world last year and I’ve clocked over 350 hours now. I’m still loving it and just started Freedom Unite last month. Having a great time with it as well!
nice video!
i am Brazilian and this is the BEST mh video of all time, tanks for this movie!
Saving this for later as someone who just got into mh
My brother got me involved in MHW and i love it. I love the world and everything about it so thank you for this
Chilled to this while hunting on Rise
Im glad you've make this mega compilation of history love every second of it very very nostalgic video
I'm most shocked to learn the longsword wasn't in the original game...it honestly seems like the most iconic weapon to me.
Great sword is actually the most iconic weapon and has always been the poster weapon except for rise
@@noxccty6200 yeah rise only has it because it was popular on world and rise is the most weeb monster hunter
Great sword?????
@@gray8885 long sword is a lot more popular you don't see anyone using GS as much as LS
@@eliravioli nobody uses pikachu, but it’s still the poster child of Pokémon. Great sword is the poster weapon of MonHun.
Thank you for putting all of this together! It's a fascinating thing to listen to even if...admittedly, I already knew most of it. I just like your takes even if I don't always agree with them lmao
Speaking of, damn you did NOT deserve the flak you got for your critique of World/Iceborne. I freely admit, I'm an oldschool hunter, I started with MH1 wayyyyy back in the day. BUT I also think that most of the changes World/IB brought to the table made it better. Something something I felt like I fought the monster more than the camera/controls in general. But you put your points together succinctly and even if I didn't agree, I got where you were coming from and it was interesting to listen to
As far as my own stupid hot take goes: clutch claw wasn't that bad imo, but maybe that was just because I rly vindictively enjoyed using it to crash monsters face-first into walls, enough that it overrode the part of me that was mad that hitzones were jumbled up to accommodate tenderizing
This got rambly but yes! Thank you for the video, these are a delight to listen to
Monster hunter is one of the very few game series that I will buy a console for every time.
PSP, Wii, Wii U, Switch, PS4. All bought for MH. If it comes out on PS5, I’ll buy one of those too.
I've just watched both complete history videos and just wanted to say that these are works of art. you did such a good job explaining everything. Monster Hunter has had an amazing development over all these years and after watching the frontier video I would wish to be able to play it as it seemed so cool.
Anyways excellent job on those videos I loved them!!
"What's Monster Hunter?" > A Monster Hunting critters just minding their own business in the woods somewhere
As someone who was brand new to MH:World in 2020, I've never truly loved a game series as I love this one. The depth of everything from preparation, to items, weapons and their playstyles... to say nothing of discovering a new monster for the first time and being like "I have to fight that thing?" It is truly an epic experience.
Learning about everything that Iceborne had going on is kinda overwhelming.
I think you're great at doing these types of videos. Have a great day!
Thank you! You too!
Thank you for making content this good!
My pleasure!
1. You probs wont see this being a year after the release
2. Appreciate your time in the video(s) you have made. They are awesome
3. Feel like some of the other things missed in gen 5 were the environment "traps" you could use. The stalactites in elders or the waterfall in the forest. Far cry from the walls that could only be used in older games.
The other thing was the exclusion of negative armor effects in world from previous games. Making the game easier because you're not having to balance the set for said negative skills. You also get bonuses for having 3 or more of the same monster.
Other more positive things are patches that came in world to stop interrupts on carves. Granted again really small things in overall comparison to what you did. But things that did stick out to me going from gen 4 to 5.
The overall quality of life from my start at freedom unite to rise now is just crazy.
Again massive props the the work, time and patience you put into the videos
I have a vid on armor skills u should check out. Also thanks for the comment!
@@SuperRADLemon
Absolutely will
As someone who played every single game available in America water combat is still my favorite thing in any game though the mixed bowgun stuff is up there too
Man, I watch your videos since yesterday. And I'm already obsessed with them. This incredible ammount of time & love you put in your videos... And your appreciation for every single title of MH is just incredible. Please keep on. Ur fkng good at what ur doing. I appreciate ur work man!
4:10 there is no way this guy said "brief" 💀💀
I’m enjoying every second of this. Thank you!
Thanks for watching
Gen 5 was what got me into Monster Hunter, and after playing other titles, I propose that World is still the strongest entry in the franchise to date.
What else have you played? Rise? 😂
I was playing Monster Hunter stories and Monster Hunter rise the entire time I watch this 3-hour video. I've been playing monster hunter games for at least 15 years now and it's really cool to see it all laid out in front of me, I was just a dumb high school kid when I first heard about Monster Hunter and now as an adult I still am in love and enthralled by the series. Thanks for the awesome video.
