Aww, not ALL the old guard is like that. I mean there are aspects of classic I prefered, but the new generation has it's perks.

I started with "unite" Played "4 ultimate" then "Generation x" meanwhile also "world" in my opinion the best hunts was there (i don't want a fight it's my opinion) and now rise. I think in some kinds it's easier but in different Times it challenges you more.

I think the community now is pretty confused about what the difficulty of monster hunter truly is, back in the days the games were harder yes, but it wasn't really 100% for the design, more like for the limitations the consoles of the previous era faced, and now there is this weirdo fake elitism among the community about how some are the most hardened hunters (fall short easily when you meet them in game). I started with unite, will be my favorite monster hunter forever, but to say things like is higher quality or is a better title than the new ones because hard is bs (yes there are weirdos like that out there and you know it) , it truly make me sad how the things evolved in the community about toxicity and feel sorry for the developers who have done literally what we have been asking for only for us to throw dirt at them with world / rise, yes the games have flaws but is not nearly as bad as lot of people want to you to believe (Of course now I'm talking only about the ugly side of the comunity Im aware the franchise skyrocketed in popularity and the majority of people just enjoy the games ad it should be, just needed to get this thing out I've been through a lot of people like these recently).

The farm addition compared to mh1 dosent make up for the much higher damage monsters do instead compared to at least mh1 offline; of course its possible that online mh1 was worse but having not played it i cannot tell.

@@johndelanie3649 meh was ok

I feel you I start with MH Freedom, the predecessor to Unite, basically the first MH game ported to PSP back in 06. I absolutley fell in love with it, mained GS before it even had a charge attack it was just a Beeg sword😂. Would definitley struggle going back to that now after sinking 1000s of hours into MHW and Rise, i love both but prefer Rise too

True, but for different reasons. The old games did do some things better than the newer ones.

Except the first one

what about when it was the only monster hunter game? it was definitely the most fun then

You're damn right blade brother

Niantic: hold my beer.

You aren't wrong, even the game i like least, that being GU, Is still a good game and i had my fun. (I just don't like styles and attack gauges)

Nah game is speedrun mode. Needs to return to on the ground travel. Tracking and Hunting utilizing tons of tools for strategy and approach. Rise should be the final game of its kind. Every wep feels like IG/LS.

You know at this point i rather have a Second MH Frontier because, man they do not need to limit themselves with Frontier. Can you imagine a Hunter Style with Silkbind Skill and you know the Ability to RUN? that's fast, and fun, makes me felt like playing Devil May Cry but it's Monster Hunter instead.

you should be but can't say it isn't accurate xD

World is the 2nd game I've played and I have to say I honestly don't feel like this is accurate..... considering I uninstalled rise after hearing that song for 3 times....what bigged me most wasn't the song IT WAS THE FACT THAT ALL THEY FED ME WAS SWEETS!!!! WTF IS MY MEAT!!!!

Yeah I started with FU too, I played every games since then (even the two stories opus). And yeah the games are easier now but in a good way. World brought so much QoL improvements, and Rise/Sunbreak brought even more. Now MH is much easier but still extremly technical and fun. Sure you cart less, but at least you don't cart for BS reasons anymore, and you can get back in action faster with all the traversals mechanics. Even as a old school player I like that the game is much more streamlined.

Immersion.

​@@sludgewave4786 half the reason is because the games are running on newer engines and better hardware so they arent limited by what was used for older MH games. Somehow it still shocks people that newer games arent designed like or play like early to mid 2000s games (and the fact that having thousands of hours in the other titles makes playing subsequent ones easier lol)

@@Orapac4142 For sure, no more limitations. Plus gamedesign evolved with time. Especially ARPG evolved a lot lately. Streamlining their mechanic. We will not see a newer A-RPG using the analog stick to attack, like it was in the first MH.

I recently went back to iceborne to finish getting some kulve weapons for IG and then maybe beating the final released monsters (- Safi) But before iceborne released, I enjoyed just helping out other players when they were just getting started, but I do agree with the people don't talk as much thing even if I started out in World

@@cardnal44 I imagine it’s hard to give a proper picture of how things used to be. I mainly played the console releases, so MH1, Tri, TriU, World, Rise. My buddy says the portable releases weren’t as friendly. That being said though, some days I’d literally be in a single lobby for 10 hours, mostly with the same friends I’d met on that very game. We’d even stop to take lunch and such while just afk together, come back and start questing again. My friends list was so full I had to “appear offline” some nights just to be left alone when I was feeling anti-social. I met friends that would carry over to other games too. Since playing Worlds and Rise, I haven’t met a single new friend in game that I’d group up to play with more than a few times. All my play groups were either personal friends from outside the game or randoms. I know there’s a lot of factors, like I don’t have the time I used to when I was a kid anymore, I’m older, more tired, but it was just such a different atmosphere in the old lobby system. I wish you could’ve experienced it.

I can wholeheartedly agree. I am still doing it like the old days. Opening a lobby, do my hunts, waiting for people to join. But ever since we got the S.O.S. system, communication has...died. This feeling of getting aquainted with completely new people, chatting and learning from another is completely gone. That was what made my experiences in Tri and 3U when so unique. I had yet to find a game that gave me that same experience and I can't say I did. I love World and Rise. They both do very well and are a lot of fun. But I miss this the interactions with my fellow hunters.

Most of those so called changes aren’t quality of life.

Honestly, it wasn't even that hard back then, it was just monotonous

​@RonaKurona a bit more monotonous and clunkier due to hardware and engine limitations. People acting shocked that the games handling evolved passed clicking right stick to attack.

Yeah the big burly cat and the sweet old lady cat they were rly cool. I also really like the Dango cat ninja team. But GenU had fondue!

I played mhfu, mh (only a bit), mh3rd, mhw and iceborn. The best is the last 2. The hardest is mhfu, but it was good, played when i was a child. The hitbox are very bad (mhfu) and get too high damage from monsters. Literally weeks for beat some monsters... A game need to be balanced, not too easy not too hard. I'm waiting for next mh on pc. Not rise, it is for switch, the pc version is the same, i want another better than mhw, only for pc and console.

Because world changed quite a bit of things that people who played the games before it didn’t really care for. So for older players, it and Rise tend to be the punching bags

What kind of parent sends their child alone to pre-school (as in, they're 4ish years old) at 3am in a hailstorm for 15 miles? Alone? No wonder there's an abundance of bitterness in some members of older generations, Jesus Christ. There's challenging a kid to promote genuine growth, and then there's abuse.

Can totally relate (started from freedom on PSP)

Honestly worldborne kinda makes me feel bad at times. back in the old games the monsters attacked you on sight so it was just kill or be killed. In world they more often than not just roar at you once or not even aknowledge you´re there. makes me feel bad to just rush at them with weapon in hand xD

@@Psychoangel-d23 I totally understand that, and it’s actually something I love about the game feeling so much more alive. It really makes you stop and question your actions sometimes

@@manbasama2501no, he trying to get the others to sing. It’s a great way of adding suspense.

That's a new trick sir.

What do you mean, gunlance always been playable... Just vastly inferior to any other options...

In FU I was struggling to kill Green Plesioth on the hub, so I picked Gunlance since it was safer than Great Sword. After grinding for an artillery and guard set with high water resistance and defence, and wielding the mighty Corn Popper for full shell damage galore I... managed to get a Time Out.

​​@@Hambs23that reminds me when I fought g rank lavasioth with a gunlance. Though I ran a sharpness +1 and crit +3 set up with a water GL. Ended up completely ignoring the shelling and just used it like a normal lance. Took me 38 goddamn minutes to bring it down. A hammer took me like 25 at most with the same armor

Smash Ultimate is my favorite MH game.

And the fact that you have to carry those combination books so you don't craft garbage. Still gives me terrible flashbacks making a trap only to make garbage to fail a quest.

Old games didn't have scaling and you couldn't stack infinite amounts of damage skills into your armor since you had to deal with negative skills, and the long sword didn't have a move that had 16 more I frames than a level 3 evade extender role. I'm not saying new games are bad but they're objectively easier

@@hayden1255 it's mostly the fixed multiplayer scaling, and more deliberate actions. Knowing that didn't make the old games much more difficult for me when I went into them after playing Worldborne initially. Hunts take me as long as they do when 3 others are in a quest with me, but told to stay in camp. Outside of that, the difficulty is about the same for me. But I'm just one guy, so what do I know?

Let them be elitists. I'm an old school player, I played them all. And yes the games have become less difficult but it's for the better. The difficulty in older games was a lot of BS, and most of the time you could see your death coming a mile away and you couldn't do shit about it cause the older games were pretty restrictive, mostly because of long uncancelable animations. I don't mind long animations but let me a margin to cancel them if something comes up while I'm doing it. While in newer games when a monster kills you, you deserve it. And you still have to learn the pattern and behavior of a monster if you want to beat him in a good time. Even in Sunbreak wich is the easiest games so far, monsters like MR Valstrax, Furious Rajang, or Malzeno are really engaging, fast, reactive, and powerful. It almost feel like a versus fighting game I love it.

@Sludge Wave I'm not trying to be elitist, my 3 favorite mh games are genu, iceborne, and sunbreak as someone who's been playing since FU. I dont need the series to go back to what it was. But objectively it is easier. That doesn't equal worse

A lot of us old fans have some bitterness towards World is why. It changed so much of the gameplay formula, difficulty, and especially preparation and pacing in hunts that it feels almost like a different series when you play it. It's definitely easier than what came before by a good bit, so it rubs a lot of classic fans the wrong way. Don't worry though, the mh community might trash on people through memes but it's all in good fun and one day when the series keeps getting easier you'll be able to trash talk the newbies too lol

@@deaj8450 world fanboys do the exact same thing, world fanboys are literally the worst. They hate on rise and everything prior while claiming world is the only good MH. They are certified clowns.

@@deaj8450 Not sure I'd ever want to. I started in world, did iceborne and risebreak. If down the line I'm an old player angrily shaking my fist at the new kids I might just drop the franchise all together. I get that the game appears easier, but thats because of the QoL changes, and the fact people who played MH before world, have put hundreds and hundreds of hours into the game, no wonder you all find it easier, you've naturally become better hunters. I've seen gameplay of the older games, alot of the problems I see with it is just the technology of the time, the hit boxes are far less refined, thats artificial difficulty. Its why the gameplay was slower, or at least thats why I think so, so it doesn't appear unfair when you get combo'd by a bunch of bad hitboxes. Not saying the older games are shit, but because of that old tech jank, if you released MH1 again, or any of the first few titles, with refined controls and hitboxes such as the like of world, it would be the easiest MH period. Now I can understand the gathering/prep aspect, I do remember a farm in the videos of older games, not sure which one though, where you could get materials that maybe you level up, and I think thats great wouldn't mind that in the newer games as well though with how barebones the bases will be, based on location, might not happen in Wilds but I could be wrong and hope I am. It just seems to me like Toxic elitism plain and simple. I know not all old school hunters are like that, I have seen plenty that sing the praises of worldborne and risebreak to give credit where its due, but there are a lot that genuinely hate the newer games and are negative, or hostile, to those that do.

@lordfoogthe2st789 I disagree with your interpretation of why old mh gameplay was the way it was, and why the games are easier now. Not saying none of what you said has merit, but it really isn't the overall picture. If you honestly think mh1 with world hit boxes would the easiest mh, it really shows just how little you know of the old games. I'm not saying that as some insult, it's just a fact. Mh1 is brutal for far more reasons than bad hitboxes. Rathalos flies around for about 80% of his fight completely out of hitting range. Small monsters are constantly attacking you and are a legitimate threat. You can't send items to your item box. There's no farm. Money is scarce. Resources and potions were also something you had to constantly work for. Mh portable 3rd is probably the easiest monster hunter, and it was derided as easy at the time. Just to throw a bone to world, which is probably harder than portable 3rd. But I still like portable 3rd more, because the difficulty was really not the difference. It's more about immersion. Modern monster hunter's problems aren't that it isn't easy, that's just what people say because it's simpler than explaining the real reasons. They may be easier overall, but it's that the games became almost a different genre entirely and the immersion suffers for it. This really all started back in either Freedom Unite or third gen actually, but each new title goes further from the old school immersive qualities. These qol changes aren't just qol, they are serious changes to the pace and balance of the game. Another huge difference is the hunters are far more powerful due to their expanded tools and movesets. To go over the actual differences would literally take hours, or multiple thousands of words, which is why I'm not going into as much detail as I really should. It can't be summed up as hitboxes and controls, I understand why you think that but there are far more substantial differences than that. I hate the newer games but I'm totally fine with other people liking them. They just changed what I loved too much to want to play it anymore, but they appeal to a wider audience than before. You have to understand, monster hunter was an extremely niche title in the west for a long time and it was for many more reasons than controls and hitboxes.

Plushie weapons have always been around.
