Started the video. Saw the guy kick a dinosaur. Bought game.

Jared, this video got me into MH. This series kept me going in this game franchise and its changed my life. Coming back to this after getting high rank in Rise... so much nostalgia. Thanks a ton, man.

played about 20 hours and still have no idea what I'm doing.

It's 1 A.M... I am a skilled hunter... I know everything in these guides soooo... WHY AM I EVEN WATCHING ?!

I credit this series to being why I love Monster Hunter. I was put off by all of Tri's systems and harsh difficulty, but this playlist taught me what the game was all about, and led me to buying 3U on my 3DS. I've been hooked on the series ever since, and I have nobody but you to thank for that.

every time i get bored of monster hunter or BURN OUT FROM IT i always come backs to your guide somehow they always pump me up ( Bad english sorry)

"Gunners use fish to create ammunition" "...?"

Anyone watching this for mh4u?

I know you won't see this, but Jared, you brought me into MH back when 3u was fresh, and this guide was so helpful and really laid the foundation of how I think of the series. Thank you so much buddy, and I hope you too are still loving the series to this day.

Does anyone else go back to watch these even though they put thousands of hours into the games?

For anyone else who is starting out, Monster Hunter is among those games wherein investing time in the tutorial is definitely worth it. I used to insist that I'm a melee fighter and went with that mindset when I played Monster Hunter. But because of the tutorials and the training sessions, I found my affinity for Heavy Bowguns. I always picked melee in other games but in Monster Hunter, being a range fighter is much better for me. So be patient and take your time in the Training school. It'll be worth all the energy and time.

So Who is watching this video that already knows how to play? Cuz I am haha

monster hunter did an utterly genius job of making their weapons not only equal, but make them ALL fun to use. speaking of which, I really gotta play monster hunter now o:

Am I the only one who watched this multiple times just to hear him talk?

I'd actually rather be kicking aptanoths in the face. That seems like fun.

This is the funniest yet most helpful guide of any game I've seen in my entire life.

Im only 3.5 minutes into this video, and it is BY FAR the best tutorial i have seen. And its pretty funny too. That intro made me lol IRL.

"They're all the best." That's actually a really good thing since if a weapon is better than the other weapons but is the least fun to me, I'd be really unhappy. And then still play with the weapon I like the most. Wow, this game actually makes the beginning armor useful?! :O I'm actually surprised, that's never happened for me before. Usually you want to get rid of your beginning armor right away...

I know that probably you won't see this, but just wanted to thank you for these guides, without them I would have quit the game. Thank you jared

Because of this guide, I was able to break into MH! Thanks PJ!

as a newcomer to the series I can testify that this video was very helpful

These were the videos that ruined my social life. Nah, still worth it.

Why am I watching this? I've played all the monster hunters (save the PS2 one). I guess I just share Jared's love for MH that much xD

I got Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate for the 3DS. It's my first time ever that I played a Monster Hunter game and, wow, do I SUCK at it. All I do is gather herbs, collect butterflies and other stuff from the ground, and fish, (when I'm using a sword and not a gun) but that's about it. I did not ever use my pickaxe to gather minerals and when I encounter a monster, I CANNOT kill a SINGLE one, NOT EVEN THE LITTLE ONES! (What the hell?) I did not even bother trying to kill those herbivores because they're not out to kill ME, they are just minding their own business. However, thanks to this guide, and others that I'll be looking at, it can be pretty useful. Soon, I'll become from a complete beginner to a monster hunting master. Thanks, ProJared!

Ay! I just started Monster Hunter so I had to look at your guide xD

Alright, Pat. Let's see what we have in store.

Finally bought Rise, came back to watch these again and man, what an insane hit of pure nostalgia. Thanks again for these videos, got me into what is now one of my favorite series.

Honestly, This is one of the best videos to teach people how to play this. Speaking as a person whose first MH game was Tri, it took me about 40 hours of effort to figure out about 1/5th of the stuff he mentions here. Jared simplifies the major mechanics of the game so that they can be explained to a person without pulling out a dictionary. That honestly takes a massive amount of effort to achieve, seeing as how my attempts to explain the game usually end in failure.

I forged some really good armor, only to find out that my hunter type couldn't use it I am very angry right now

Who's playing 3U in 2019?

This is still my favorite monster hunter video on KZfaq. It's what got me into the series. I'd love to see a similar/updated version for World

This guide is what got me into Monster Hunter. Almost 5 years later, and now I'm grinding my way through MH World. It's been a great journey ever since.

Silliest opening ever. That's why I love it.

Why am I watching this? I'm in G-rank, But still this guide to monster hunter is very useful. Where was this in freedom 1?

Looking back on the time when I first saw these guides 2 or so years ago, I can not say how thankful I am that these guides were made. It's these guides that made me love Monster Hunter as much as I do now.

One thing I did discover, take advantage of everything around you. Hunting a random monster or gathering spot often opens up new armor choices. Once you get the hang of armor skills, you can even work around getting a full set. My Barioth set doesn't have the arms. They used the rarest parts. If I did get them, my fire weakness would be increased, as would my ice attack by another point, yet it would weaken my constitution. Complete armor sets usually will give you a negative skill together. Instead I crafted a fire resistant armor with an ice attack amulet. Same bonus, different approach. Also you can change your armor pigment under change appearance. Helps you stand out and helps your Brachydos weapon match when you use the light green.

Thank You ProJared! I just downloaded this from the capcom sale on the 3ds shop from your recommendation and now you're helping me start out!

i just bought mh4u on ebay and never have played monster hunter so i need to watch these lol

You see, this is cool. People asked and asked for something like this and he actually listened to his fans and put out content to help them get into Monster Hunter. This guy is great!

we need a beginineer's guide to Monster Hunter World. Honestly these are so entertaining and informantive LOL

Man, Monster Hunter 3 is so pretty. Shame the series went handheld exclusive.

That's it, I'm only what? 2 minutes in and I want this game.

This video series was what piqued my curiosity enough to get Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate a few years ago. I never regretted it. I'm now a devoted Monster Hunter fan. Thank you, Jared.

I bought this game on a whim back in the day, had to watch these videos good memories. Now Im in MHGU bout to hunt my 100th G rank Rajang. P.S. Thank you so much ProJared mad respect.

How much will this apply to generations? It's my first mh game

Lol- Oh wait, that IS me! XD I just got the game.

These guides got me to play monster hunter and really enjoy it. I went from the strongest enemy being a jaggia to killing a royal ludroth. I don't hunt much, because I do get bored after one or two big hunts, but that does stretch the game and let's me do it at my own pace. I have only you to thank for my love of those game.

I'm a veteran hunter myself. And I just have to say. Truest. Intro. Ever.

i didn't just choose 1 weapon to use, i chose 3

thank you jared for this guide :D

I have hundreds and hundres of hours in Monster Hunter 3 (and just as much in Ultimate) and I still love watching these, they're incredibly entertaining! :)

Man I'm thankful I watched this trilogy of videos as well as 4U's Beginner's Guide Video long before I got into the series with Generations Ultimate.

I can't possibly comprehend why Capcom has decided to disregard the Sony consoles for the MH franchise. The games for the psp were amongst the best titles on the that console, and with the next-gen arriving these games would be amazing ! It would bring so much profit for Capcom, not to mention how many people it would make happy. Pokemon I understand, they've only appeared on Nintendo consoles and they want to keep it that way. That's fine. But why MH ?? :(

Can I watch this for tips for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate?

Hey! Just wanted to thank you for making these videos. I'm a newbie; I just bought mh4u on a whim, because I wanted to try something new. I dont know anything about anything, so these videos are fantastic.

Thank you for this guide Jared, otherwise I probably never would've gotten past the quest where Lagi shows up when you're getting Monster Guts. And here I am now, hunting Brachy to make his weapons and armor.

What armor is he using? Is it high rank ivory lagiacrus? (Sub g)

Like if you found monster hunter from the devil may cry 2 game that included the first monster hunter demo! :)

I'm not a very big fan of your style to do reviews for some odd reasons cuz they are good, but damn.... this beginner's guide deserves respect from every MH fan.

Just wanted to say im really excited to watch this series. It was recommended to me because I'm new to Monster Hunter

1:00 Which weapon is the best? "They're all the best" CORRECTION THE CHARGE BLADE AND SWITCH AXE ARE OP and the rest are just meh.

50 people don't know how to play.

I've been playing Monster Hunter since the first one came out for the PS2, but it's always interesting to see beginners guides to see how people are being educated on the games, I certainly wish I had a guide like this when I was younger. Good work, I look forward to the next installment.

I only just started MH and this helped a lot. I think the condescending tone actually made things easier to understand

Thank you Jared for hooking me up with the Monster Hunter series. So far I love it!

Hey Jared, Every once and a while I feel like coming back to this video and thanking you for helping me get into my favorite gaming series of all time. I probably never would have tried it if it weren't for you. Thank you so much!

This is actually EXTREMELY helpful for players who are brand-new to the series. It gets a lot of things clear that might still be fuzzy after reading the instruction book or even the Strategy guide. One thing that I personally still have issues with is an easy-to-comprehend armor list, and the effects that each full set will provide. I'm looking forward to future videos. Perhaps go into detail about each weapon, and it's certain strengths and weaknesses? Great job! Can't wait for more!

It's cool that you make these vids since many people get confused at the beginning of monster hunter!

It's a shame you don't post mh videos anymore. I would love to see an updated version of these videos now that the comunity is bigger.

AS someone who is just recently getting into Monster Hunter games, i really appreciate someone making a well made series for people like myself. While i do not own MH3U, I own a copy of MHFU, and i love it. again, thanks for the helpful guides.

PLEASE DO MORE OF THIS! Im starting to get a hold of this game, quests are becoming more easy as I play, but I like all the help I can get with a game so deep.

Jared, you honestly compelled me to go out and buy Monster Hunter for the 3DS, and I've enjoyed every second of it. Thank you.

I like the way Jared did this guide.He's like your in game teacher/master/mentor! :D

I've linked this video (and the wiki) on several forums now. I like to answer beginner questions about MH, but sometimes threads get a bit overwhelming with people who don't know how to google or simply read the manual. I hope these guides really takes off to make beginners (and veterans alike) better understand the MH games. After all, more experienced players will want more MH games to play, creating a succesful market to secure western releases for the future.

Ah, the video which started me on my journey. I have defeated many, even up to the Dalamadur. Thank you, Projared. Thank you.

I just played the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate demo on 3DS and I loved it.I went with dual blades since I like to get fast combos rather than do tons of damage with a single strike.The dual blades allow for a "flurry of strikes" as the game calls it,meaning that you can get multiple fast hits off in fast succession.

I brought MH3U for 3ds when it came out and watched these videos. I stopped playing shortly after G rank, I definitely would not have gotten so far without such a great introduction. Now just as I get MH4U I thought i'd come back to where it started for me.

i just got all this game last night so being able to re-watch this will be a big help thanks projared

even as a veteran i demand a part 2. now. this is really nice to watch.

I've had this game gathering dust for months now, because I had absolutely no idea what to do (and there were so many other games to play). I think this has motivated me to actually give it a chance! Thank you for your help.

this game is so much fun and the online community has been great thus far. i'm still early game but groups did well with teamwork in my experience. looking forward to more fun.

This is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for making this series, I started Monster Hunter with MH4U, and recently bought 3U. Not as many tutorials! BLESS YOU DEAR MAN BLESS YOU

These videos are very well-informed, and a MUST for anyone looking to get into the Monster Hunter games. VERY well-done, ProJared! =]

Thanks to you, Jared, I managed to get through the painful beginning of the game, I'm now 50+ hours in and I'm having all the fun and then more. So awesome. Awesome videos.

I am not beginner. I played monster hunter since 2007 but i always learn something from this. Thanks man

I love his presentation with this video and the way he narrates it. It reminds me of one of those cheesy tutorial videos from the 80s that you are forced to watch when you get hired at a new job... ....except these are completely fun to watch.

This is by far one of my best Guides yet! Thanks Jared!!!

It was your review of the game that got me into this series and now you're making a players guide? Thank you.

Thank you for being the only person to give me a polite answer to my question. I appreciate it. That all sounds neat, and something I can appreciate from action-adventures. The series' art direction and lack of story has played into my opinion of it, too. I don't always need a narrative in my games, but it helps.

Thanks Jared to Help us out! Please don't leave us along I'm about to give up. But now I know is hope .

This is such a good tutorial for new players. I'm a veteran and still loved it. GREAT job.

if you are new I got some tips for you (and all you other to). carpenterbug that is needed to make certain wepons, armour and villagequest can be found in the cat nest on D.island (area 4). if you find sharkskin SAVE IT, it is very hard to get and will be important later on in the game in a villagequest.

I'm with you. Nintendo and PC gaming together never leaves me wanting.

i just started monster hunter today and this was super helpful! though im playing generations so there are a few things these videos wont cover, its still immensely helpful! thanks!

This was nice to watch while waiting for the 10 minute update to finish

thanks for this series, just got into monster hunter to have a game to just pass the time and I have really just been fumbling around.

I heard this game is freaking awesome so I bought a second-hand game cartridge from a guy in Facebook. It was only 15 bucks. I can't hunt anything but you really helped me out!

Bought this game recently as I'm very new to MH and this helps, thanks for the video series Jared!

After having owned the game for a few weeks now, your videos have inspired me to finally play it. It is a little tricky to get into at first, but not gonna lie, I've already been enjoying it. (My biggest complaints are the dialogue and the 3DS controls. The camera...It'll take some getting used to.)

okay, thx to some people in here with info. I came back from shop today with nintendo 3ds xl and monster hunter 3. already sank 4 hours in to it. Loving it!
