Sometimes when I play MH4U people ask me what you do in this game and i say: "what do you think"

This is the video that made 14 year old me impulse buy MH4U, best decision of my life

Monster Hunter is his favorite franchise This is his favorite game out of that franchise Still doesn't get a 10/10

Watching this game review in 2020 wants to make me grab the cartridge and my 3DS and replay the whole game right now.

3 DAYS.

MonHun is my valentine this year. I'm not lonely at all.....

This review is what made me buy the game. I now have over 1000 hours logged.

"You won't get too attached with the characters" EXCOOZ MEE?! Guildmarm is best waifu.

Bought this game the other day for $10. Gotta say, this is the best $10 I've ever spent.....well, besides those ice cream sundaes

So who here remembers his Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate review and the stare of death?

I have LITERALLY played EVERY monster hunter game. Since the PS2. All the side stories this series is a rare gem.

I left a comment on his beginner's guide for this game thanking him for convincing me to buy the game in March. I just want to say I've played literally more than 250 hours and have barely touched G3. There is still so, so much to do. This is literally my favorite game of all time. I cannot thank you enough Jared for convincing me to get this game. P.S. For anyone thinking about getting the game who owns a powersave I suggest you try everything in your being to not use it on this particular game. I know someone who does use it and I along side of the 2 other people I convinced to get the game pity him extremely. This whole game is about progressing because of what YOU earned. To cheat anything in at all, no matter how small or minor, is to cheat yourself of the entire experience. Don't do it. Any game but this.

7.8/10 "Too many monsters - IGN

Best of the series" Ooh... Psp monster hunter fans aint gonna like that... you know how attached to freedom unite they are.

I got a free download of MH3U for 3DS through a promotion Nintendo were doing once... I didn't play it for about a year (wasn't much interested, I had never played a MH game before)... then I got an Ambassador New 3DS about a year ago and decided to try out the new C-Stick. I ended up sinking about 200 hours into MH3U. Loved it. I'm about 500 hours now on MH4U, if you count all my files. Moral of the story? This game is excellent. Beyond excellent. Wow. So much fun!! (admittedly it does have a very steep learning curve. It took me about 15 hours to get the basics and I'm still learning stuff even now) You need to buy this game. MONSTER HUNTER X FOR THE WEST!!!!!!!

This game MH4U is what introduced me into monster hunter series I bought it on a whim. Now I have all the 3ds monster hunter games & I bought the MHG on the switch & the MHW on the xbox one s. Greatest series ever I just wish that I would have known of this series sooner.

Damn it Jared, I need to go to bed for college. I MUST not forget to watch this when I get back tomorrow. FUCK I love Jared.

Who's coming back here bacause of Cross/Generations?

I get to finally understand what this game is about! I've been dying to know. The title of the game is so cryptic I haven't cracked the code yet until I say this video. And now I can finally die happy knowing fully well that this game is about hunting monsters.

"You learned the monster's attacks and patterns." While fighting a Gore Magala.

12/10 GOTYAY HYPE TRAIN AIN'T STOPPIN CAN'T HOLD ON

What are you babbling about? this game is terrible!! the monsters take forever to kill, the upgrade system is too hard to use, the cat you're stuck with is a douche and the boss fight with that dark shadowy thing is unwinnable!! my attacks just keep bouncing off him and he never dies! I spent the better part of all day just trying to kill it before I ran out of time, but NOPE! RAN OUT OF TIME AGAIN!! this game is absolutely terrible! -IGN

Ahhh the good days

this review made me get mh4u 2 summers ago.... over 12k hours logged and now waiting for worlds. Thank you jared for introducing me to my favorite series hands down.

So if I've never tried to play a Monster Hunter game before and have no friends with interest in the series, is it worth picking up just to play on my own?

I really hope you do some more monster hunter videos on your gameplay channel (or this one) its pretty fun to watch.

who came back here because of monster hunter world? So excited for that game!

only problem now is that a majority of people online are either Elitist masters or obnoxious rookies, if you start out with online, people lower rank than you will join your room, post a quest. tell you "PLZ I need!" and if you say anything that is along the lines of "No" they'll start their quest. and the worst part of the game is that when they do that. YOU CAN'T KICK THEM OUT. meaning until they finish wasting your time, you're down a person for the quests you are trying to do. and their EVERYWHERE!!! not to mention the usual lack of etiquette they have. you know, triple carting, hiding in base till the jobs done. finishing with subquest early. knocking people down. etc. but then theres those "Elitists" I was talking about... their the people who think they're the best, they use copy paste armor, copy paste strategies, always fighting the same monsters. there is no variety. and if you don't follow flawlessly, your kkicked out after being called worthless. If you're hunter rank 236, they'll call you a noob... which makes no sense since it takes 100 hours to get that far... point is. they have nothing but an ego and a youtube video as a guide. which makes them unbearable.

"All the armor looks so cool!" ...except Rhenoplos Mail/Vest

This game seriously needs a switch port or something I hate playing on 3ds

There's no MHG review yet because ProJared is having trouble in hunting a Yian Kutku with Adept.

There are always a bunch of people comparing this to Dark Souls. Can you compare it? Let's find out! A lot of the combat feels the same way. You're going to have to be careful and deliberate with your attacks, and once you start attacking, you're committed to those attacks. This isn't a Zelda combat system where your swipes are fast and you can disengage at any point, so you're going to have to be more careful than that. It's also very preparation based. This means which items to use, which armor to drag into battle and such. When using items, there's also a delay system built in where your character is locked in place for a little while, meaning that you have to be careful when you heal. Everything has a delay and feels weighty, just like in Dark Souls. Your main form of not taking damage is also, like in Dark souls, either blocking or evading attacks with a sweet combat roll. There is however no magic system, and no leveling system, both of which are important in the souls games. Aside from that, there are many similarities you can draw between the combat of Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. Each weapon functions wildly differently, so you have to choose a style that fits you. Other than that, there's not much more to compare. The level design is completely different, and Monster Hunter focuses on boss fights rather than Dark Souls' focus on smaller enemies and the situation at hand right here, right now. There aren't a lot of secrets either in MonHun which Dark Souls has a ton of. All in all, their overall design is wildly different, but their combat has a lot in common. Not perfect parallels, but I'd say it's fair to compare parts of the games.

$40 for a game that isnt broken and u can spend hundreds of hours on, im sold.

ahh technology is good.. this is now playable on citra at 60fps with nintendo switch/custom textures boys. (and online support)

Wheres the review for Monster Hunter Generations? Id love to see it!

Whoa sweet! I came to this review because this monster hunter 4 game is on sale right now on the 3ds eshop for 5 bux! I'd be dumb to skip it now.

HYPE! A great score for a great game. Love your content ProJared, I hope I see you online sometime.

So can you play with random people online? Since all my friends don't own a 3ds.

The story is great, the monsters are great, everything is great. I’ve been playing monster Hunter ever since 3 Ultimate (I’ve been wanting to play that game ever since I was a little kid cuz I watched my sister play 3 tri on the Wii), and I’m now waiting for Monster Hunter Rise. And though MHW is great, it lacks the goofiness of previous games. Plus, the monster variety in World is kinda stale since more complicated models had trouble with inclined surfaces... But Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is by far the best game in the franchise for me, the story and characters OH MY GOD the monsters. It was the first mh game where I made it to G rank and doing so made you feel SO FRICKIN REWARDED, I can’t even begin to explain how awesome getting into G rank feels in that game... But if I had to put it into words it feels as if you were transcending into a living legend

I honestly find Monster Hunter Generations to be both skippable and forgettable. They should seriously bring Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate on switch instead of generations.

I just realized you wear that same blue shirt in EVERY video. Nothing wrong with that, I'm simply surprised that my brain finally noticed something so obvious.

MH4U is great. Got some dust off my 3DS XL recently to check it out (and to compare the feeling with MHW I'm playing now) and online multiplayer is still on, and people are playing! That was a nice addition since MH3U had only local play. Unfortunately 4-player MP really drops the framerate unless you're playing on a New 3DS.

I remember playing Tri but never fully getting into, then I played the demo for MH3U on 3DS, didn't really enjoy it, but 4U and Generations is what made me fall madly in love with the MH franchise, four years later the rumors of a Switch exclusive Monster Hunter (Double Cross/Generations Ultimate's 3DS version never got localised) is making me excited yet again like I was for Generations on 3DS, long live the hunters of old and welcome the hunters of new

I just wanted to re watch this to see what his opinion was on this one, now all I have to do is wait for his opinion on generations.

Never played MH. But I'm gonna start. Do I play earlier ones first(like 3) or should I skip straight to this one

One thing that was not mentioned, was how they treat EXPEDITIONS. It is done VERY poorly. Fans of MH3/MH3U will remember the Moga hunts - where you can go out and kill monsters at leisure. However, in 4U, the monsters on expeditions can actually escape. Similar to how you "repel" monsters, but it can be done with EVERY. SINGLE. MONSTER. YOU. FIGHT. In short - each expedition is a speed run. You gotta be fast, otherwise you don't get your reward.

I think the fact that there is no voice chat makes it better. Like in all games if you combine veteran players with newbies the veterans will take away from the feel of finding out how to damage monsters and they will just shout at the new players for doing things wrong that they didn't even know about.

Just got this game now and I'm pretty excited to play it

Thanks for recommending this game, now im kissing 400 hours in this game....

Can you play this offline?

Hey, ProJared Plays! ProjaredI just wanted to say thankyou as I was,'t that into monster hunter before but after watching your videos about it like the beginner guides, I began to love it so much!

Back when I was in 9th grade, i saw this video and it made me want to get this game. I had my mom buy it for me at gamestop and I kind of liked it. It was only after i convinced a stubborn friend of mine to get the game that it became one of our favorite series of all time.

I would love to see a "retrospective" or review on Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on PSP! It's one of my favorites and definitely one of the best PSP games!

My best friends introduced me to this game when i had moved and this game helped me to bond really well with them in my new home! So this series has a special place in my heart and I bought MHGU once I got a Switch. Also, re-watching your old videos to help support you ProJared, keep on climbing back up ok!!

I want Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate on Sega Dreamcast. :(

Thank you for this review. I have tried 3, but couldn't get into it, but you helped me get the courage to pick this up. I chose the Insect Glaive as my main, and also working on learning the Hunting Horn. This is much easier to handle for me, than 3 was. Thanks again, man.

So happy for this upload! :D

I hated MH 3. the movements were like walking through mud and the grinding of monsters wasn't fun to me. picking up hundreds of butterflies wasn't fun, nor was mining, skinning was a pain, why do you have to keep hitting A to re-skin a monster you just skinned? why didn't it give me everything the first time? repetitive and unresponsive controls just pissed me off in 3 and it doesn't look like much as changed in 4, so I'm going to pass, but I'm glad Jared enjoys it, I just don't understand why.

I got this game last week but I don’t have anyone to play with

I started this game way back, and it was the only thing I played until Generations came out

Long story short. Don't play any MH game if you think it's just any typical kiddie button mashing hack and slash game.

50+ Hours into this BEAUTIFUL GAME, And I have to Thank You Jared for introducing me to the AMAAAAZING series.

I bought the game when it was on sale on Christmas for about 8$ and ive been playing it ever since and i love it

man wish I had some friends to play this with.

Well, as someone who never played a monster hunter game before, I can safely say that I am absolutely buying this when the game comes out. I better prepared for the ass-kicking I am going to endure once that happens......

Coming from someone thats never played MH at all, and someone who thought it looked dumb, holy crap is it GOOOOOD! Coming from someone who hated the franchise, THAT is saying something

Congratulations Projared for having the most viewed Monster Hunter 4 review on KZfaq, (even though the number may not be massive)

2000 hours of souls experience... I AM READY.

4th week of MH4U. Over 50+ hours of playing on one of my files. Thank you Jared for introducing me to something new!

went from beating monsters to beating his relationship lul

This game is the reason I got the circle pad for the 3ds.

I disagree with the part about not being able to become attached to the characters. I actually developed attachments very quickly to the people I met.

At the beginning of Mh3U you get one version of every type of weapon you can get. Do they do this in this game to start you off? Like am i able to immediately start with the smallest charge blade?

Now they need to make Monster Hunter X Hunter.

i love how almost identical this review is to your monster hunter world review. I love how your opinions never change when it comes to this game.

Considering what happened when I decided to try Chrono Trigger after Jared's video on it, this sounds like it'll be good. fkin love chrono trigger now. I actually named the robot Jerd because of him.

NEWS!!! GAMESTOP is SELLING it NEW, not PRE-OWNED FOR $29.99!!!

I love the new practice quests against a great jaggi you can go on in the beginning. They're entirely optional but let you practice with the two new weapons(Charge blade and Insect Glaive) against a monster that's both familiar and easy to anyone playing. I also adore the Insect Glaive, especially once you get the final kinsects after hundreds of hours, because it's very unique and you feel VERY satisfied after finally making the ultimate kinsect for your playstyle(effect extender for life :D). I played Monster Hunter 3 on the Wii and 3u on the 3DS(I played these two to completion, I also played a few other games here and there, but I never really got into the series because of how long it took to get into the rythem if the games) and this feels amazing compared to the two. You already gave it a great review that I completely agree with, so I won't go on about how much I love MH4U, but I will say I have ONE complaint you didn't mention. The monsters feel a little "cartooney" at times. From a farting monkey to a chicken monster with a flashbang beak and a rubber tail that I honestly can't look at without feeling sorry for, I just don't like a bunch of the new monsters they introduced. They all introduce new mechanics that I enjoyed, such as not being able to use items to blinding explosions for the two I just mentioned, but I just didn't feel like I used to when facing a Lagiacrus or a Tigrex(Tigrex is still in the game, but it's one of the "cooler" monsters in the series in my opinion and it's a great basis for good monster designs). Monsters like Congalala, Zamtrios, Yain Kut-Ku, and Gypceros just looked awkward and weird compared to everything else, and I make myself promise to do everything in my power to not die when fighting them lest I admit a hunter that would go on to kill a snake the size of a mountain got beat by a farting gorilla or a balloon shark. It's a minor thing compared to all the improvements they've made, but it just bothers me that, when they have so many amazing ideas, they also have to throw in some disgusting monsters with, more often than not, the most irritating abilities to fight. Monster Hunter has always had a few of these monsters scattered throughout its games, but the fact that there are so many and that most show up at the beginning just seems to go beyond annoying and into bad game design territory because they run the risk of new players seeing the least enjoyable, awkward monsters at the very start and thinking that they game is more "childish" than it really is. I'm all for new mechanics, different designs, and unique attack patterns, but when we have so many of them before we're allowed access to the "good" monsters that intimidate us, it's just annoying. Other than this, though, I love the game and everything about it.

I want to play this so bad

This game really needs to be on the Wii U like Monster Hunt Tri was for both 3DS and Wii U... Capcom missed the boat on that one this time.

Monster Hunter > Dark Souls

Excellent review! Friday we rideout.

I love how Monster Hunter really pushes the 3ds to its limits with insane amounts of content and great graphics for the device

Thanks to Projared, I've finally given MH a try and I picked up 4 Ultimate and so far I'm digging it. His videos for beginners really helped too.

I'm going to be getting this game in the next few days guys, so I'll be starting from scratch (Only played the 3rd one on the Wii). So if anyone fancies starting from the beginning on a new multiplayer playthrough just reply here :D (None of my friends have this or a 2DS/3DS :( )

I would compare Monster Hunter with the great Dark Souls Series, only without the annoying back stabbing from prepared pvp players that invade you while you are all prepared to pve against some nasty big demon with your greatsword and heavy armor, that is too slow against other players... Both games are hard, but very rewarding! You have to learn the enemy attack pattern, you forge your own equipment to your liking and playstyle through fighting and exploring and you have a nice advanture and feel very rewarded especially after a successful hard boss fight! A must have for every Dark Souls veteran who desire new epic fights.

1:38 poor jadale.. May his sorrowed soul rest in peace...

I've been playing this on the New 3DS and it's quite amazing to see the difference in textures and colour from this footage on the older 3DS, although I know this footage has been blown up for youtube

Just imagine the beautiful graphics and gameplay if they put Monster Hunter on PS4 & Xbox1😄

Mh4u was my first mh game ever and everyone looked at me like a big noob at the beginning, well they were right. But after 300 hours of playtime I'm not a big noob anymore. ps. it's the freaking best game ever!

Don't forget about the circle pad pro option for the original 3DS which not only makes the system a hell of a lot more comfortable to hold for extended periods of time, but also gives a much better option for camera controls. Good review though, this is the first MH game I've really been able to get into (200 hours so far). I owned the original but it was such a new concept that I didn't really understand and I had just bought a ps2 with a bunch of games so I gave up on it after several hours, and I played 3u for maybe 20 hours before getting tired of it (I really hated the water). 4U is easily 1 of my fav games ever made.

Most underrated game series in the states EVER! I love this series and i've been with it since the first on PS2. I'll never forget people yelling at me for knocking them into the air! "UPS!!!!" I find when i fight bosses in other games it feels less rewarding and somewhat disappointing because i can't carve it!!! I chase down monsters in Evolve... yet no carves to be had! WHY!? WHY!!!??!?!?!

So Capcom paid you to cover some gameplay of MH4, but I really hope that money didn't go towards the review :/

I am new to the Monster Hunter series, but two of the games have caught my eye. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and Monster Hunter Generations. Out of the 2, which one should I get?

I'm getting Monster Hunter Generations soon and was wondering the following questions 1: are you stuck with a weapon after you choose it 2: can I try each weapon before making a decision 3: how far into the game do you have to be before you can play with friends

I have watch this video many times and finally decided to get the game for my 3DS. It's been nearly a month since and I'm so happy that I did because the game is awesome. Thanks Pro Jared and greeting from Chile!

I'm sorry Jared, but you are blinded by your fandom. These are no major changes. It's still kill monster, get gear, kill monster. I don't think this game will bring in anyone new more than the other games.

Does this game have some story across games or something or can I start directly with Monster hunter 4?

Do you know that feeling, when you suddenly wake up one morning, and take interest in a game series that didn't speak to you at all before? I felt that way with Metroid some years back...............and Monster Hunter just may be my new "enlightenment".

100 hours of gameplay in, I only have to say one thing... Thank you Jared, you and your stupid love for monster hunter snared me to the series from now on
