Safe to say it was dumb of me to try attacking with red sharpness but absolute AGONY when I didn't have any whetstones on me.

Nah I want to hear that bounce sound... EVERY GODAMN TIME.

... wut?

@@TemplarBlonic shiet wet stones weren't infinite back then? Sheeesh

@@Sir.YeetusIII nope, they were an item you had to pack with you up through MH4U, just like paint bombs for tracking monsters, and the map too. I think Generations was the first one to just make them infinite and you always had em on you.

🤚

You're welcome. I played this back in 2005-6 back when I was 13 lol. Online was wild. The community was filled with a bunch of us kids and it was drama city. We'd hold tournaments of who can solo a monster faster when we hated each other. We'd even have fights with different weapons and if you knocked a person down that was a point for you. We'd have clans. It was the wild west of monster hunter.

@@nickbwalker51Hah! I remember that lasted until Tri, but dang, the community was still amazing! The beef stayed in MH and didn’t escalate to the cancer we see today.

I had 2000hrs into one character. I used to do the Land and Sky mission (Los and Ian pair) no armor and always fought in the grassy field so they both could be there. I had a mountain of Plates and that was the only mission offline you could earn them. I had everything maxed out. Fatalis was a god Damn nightmare. Lao Shun Lung was 10x the raid boss Zoyboy is from MHW. I wish they'd give us MH1 remastered.

@@sbncaptain8209 Troublesome Pair was the name of that quest, I remember the first time I beat it I was so excited. That and Handle With Care! to unlock it were the hardest things I had done to that point. I dont think a MH1 remastered could ever capture the feeling of the original. They would probably implement a bunch of QOL improvements that would ruin its feel. In 1 you did everything the hard way.

There is no point in suffering unless you learn and grow from it! I’m glad you got this feeling. It’s why I named it the “Experience.” With all the suffering and bullcrap, overcoming it all is _cathartic._ Glad to know that I succeeded in translating this feeling!

@@TemplarBlonic honestly that's why i love monster hunter so much, despite how absolutely fucking brutal it can get, you never really feel too frustrated. if anything, atleast for me, it's downright motivating to keep trying and trying until eventually you get that one fateful hunt where you finally succeed and man does it feel GOOD

@@djraptorthetrashraptor7701 Agreed, friend! Unlike my _current_ experience with Elden Ring where I feel like “thank God that’s over…” with old MH I think “I… I did it?! I DID IT!!!” and have a huge jolt of dopamine with every struggle and every hurdle conquered coming from your own two hands!

@@TemplarBlonic First time I hunted Yian Garuga, I was dead to rights, I was NOT going to win, I gave it my all, but had accepted defeat. I put down 2 large barrel bombs, a small to trigger them, as YG turned its head to finish me off, I dove away, he dove into the bombs… death animation, quest complete. I’ve never been so happy in a game. Monster Hunter as a whole is on a different level.

So accurate. This is my first and favorite monster hunter game, and I completely acknowledge that there is an insane amount of bs, but it's so rewarding to overcome it.

It wasn't release day I got it, but your welcome.

Played it at age 12 and defeated fatalis with my clan. Back when you could only fight fatalis with a gun bc he'd one hitko you

back in our day we were driven by sheer ketamine to kill this fellas

What this video doesn't show is the online portion of the MH experience which made everyone want to keep playing. Back then when you where online you had rooms that allowed a total of 8 hunters, which gave people time to talk and plan out what people wanted to get. It was like old school WoW where half the fun was the friends you made along the way. Because this was the first entrance into the now long running series, there are plenty of exploits people used. The best example of this is head locking (HL) with a lance. This exploit allowed a hunter who had a lance enter the zone first (as back then the first hunter who entered the zone first had the least amount of lag) and start attacking the monsters head. Once the monster stumbled the lancer would position themselves in front of the head and would start a two thrust combo that would continuously keep the monster in the stumble animation. That allowed the other 3 hunters to attack the monster freely.

@@H4m54 damn I totally forgot about headlocking. I definitely played to hangout with other hunters, I remember there was a little culture of saying hey everytime someone entered the guild hall, nowadays no one really interacts like that and I've alwayswished Capcom tried to cultivate that community again somehow. I remember also having to figure out roles for Lao shan lung battles, a hammer user for the feet, Lances on the head or greatswords

Annoying, tanky, numerous, and hit almost as hard as their pack leader counterparts!

Over time you learn to hate them the most.

You and I are as some people say; “Mood Kindred.” Playing MHFU right now for another video and the experience from this game certainly helped. Seeing the building blocks of the series and having fun putting them together is something that I believe is sorely lacking in World. Hammer bros for life!

Same here, actually playing freedom unite and becoming a sns user to the core.

When i was kit I try to play MHFU form my brother psp after 1 hours I enteree rage mode

MHFU what an absolute banger ♥️

@@defalttheloner I kneel to the rare, kingly SnS user!

Ah, man. We all had that hard wall moment in a classic MH game. I remember with my first game (Tri) the bloody Royal Ludroth of all monsters was my hard wall. Wasn’t until I finally learned elemental weaknesses with a qurupeco hammer that I took him down. Challenge, and the catharsis of overcoming such obstacles fuels us for the future, and ensures that our passion for that thrill continues to push us forward in these challenges to experience such a feeling again.

@@TemplarBlonic There's just something so deeply satisfying about the prep that goes into it that you don't get in later games. They're still great, I have thousands of hours in MHFU, MH3U, and MH4U, but it hit different in MH1.

@@dougvillegas8303 Agreed. Every single piece of a puzzle in the fights ahead require meticulous gathering and planning. Seeing your own work succeed- with no hand outs or help, is exceedingly satisfying. I find that Tri did that before you unlock the farm, and even then you need to spend a lot of time upgrading it before it becomes actually efficient. Everything needing to be gathered, stored and combined- your own work and efforts paying off in the end. MH1 had this exact effect. Even if it /shows its age, it is still a pretty satisfying game.

Indeed! The difficulty has a sense of realism to it and felt grounded. In modern MH we feel that lore-based “descendants of super humans” bit but with MH1 we felt like peak, normal humans. Of course, the weapons and monsters are still pretty fantastical.

when i slay a monster yes i do this 7:02

That was the lightning GS that looked like a LS wasn't it? Good times

Hammer Bro for life. Even without the knockout ability, I made the raw damage work! In my opinion, the Hammer is strong enough without the knockout ability given its sheer damage output, but it became truly viable around the Tri days when head hit boxes became easier to hit.

sure but triple pound is still one of the strongest moves gs didnt have any charging

@@farts77 triple pound and the final hit bashing the skull...pure ecstasy

@@ammagon4519 Ecstasy barely does justice to the feeling of what landing such glorious strikes feels like!

Capcom basically makes the game way too easy now for all newplayers or what I'd rather refer to as Casuls.. Back during my days, that Hammer is actually a Godsent since its full charging strike goes through deflection and saves us a lot of time in fights against Khezu, Basarios, Rathalos (during early gameplays when our equipments are literally still shits from top to bottom including weapon). I'm honestly baffled by how easy Monster Hunter is these days where you can ride stuffs, mount enemy, grab onto them, run & roll while carrying eggs without breaking it, fast gathering mats (unlike in the past), and much more.

They are exceedingly annoying, but the thing about them is that learning when exactly to dodge makes half of their attacks do nothing. On top of that, lance and greatsword are pretty OP!

It's not the most infuriating thing, it's the attacking with right analog stick and the super aggressive small monsters 💀

Skill isn't enough,the entire game is just plain bullshit,especially those damned egg delivery quests

i still see the plesioth hip check me in my dreams

yeah and the combat is weird. left stick to move. right stick is the melee. each direction a different attack.

It sharpened you into a deadlier hunter!

You still play MH1?

It was one of the most heart stopping moments I’ve had in a game.

In all my multiple years of playing MHF2, MHFU, and MHP3rd I've never once bounced off a vespoid, shit's tough for you dude 😂

@@msf2000 Hahaha

@@TemplarBlonic i had my blade bounce of that vespoid. and the dragon was like. nice. then he clapped me and i never played the game again until recently :D

Pain, suffering… but also the drive to keep pushing forward and become better. Not just stronger, but more efficient and capable to take on insurmountable odds!

Indeed, friend! It felt good experiencing this game and appreciating what we have now, on top of appreciating the older games.

To suffer and then get back up- again, and again, and again, to conquer the challenge!

There is no feeling like OG MH!

Capcom has always been fantastic at music, even in their really rough experimental projects like MH1. You can see the baseline of the series even in the first game, but it’s definitely a pain get to through! Feels like playing through history, which is a nice feeling.

I doubt you give yourself enough credit! I’m sure you’ve carried noobies as well! Glad I could send you down memory lane. It is a good place to be.

Literally this. I unironically had no joke to put for Bullfangos because of how horrifically awful they are. Thankfully they weren’t nearly as common as the dreaded Velociprey and stayed dead, compared to the Velociprey.

Thank YOU for this comment! It made my day! Hopefully you’ll stick around and I hope I can make more of your evenings better!

So much feels like it's lying beneath the surface, just waiting for us to discover it!

Forcing one to played MH1 is, indeed, a horrific prank.

THE WORST EXPERIENCE.

I miss small monsters being a threat but not nearly as obnoxious as they are in MH1. Tri/3U did it right with the Jaggi, Baggi, Uroktor, etc. all being threats that you should take out and served as actual obstacles instead of, say, the Jagras from World who do no damage and never attack. However, the Leshen fight with those Jagras sucked. That was above even MH1 levels of aggravating.

@@TemplarBlonic Yeah, I think 3rd gen small monsters had just the right amount of aggression to feel like a threat without being too overwhelming. As for the Jagras in the Leshen fight, I actually liked that mechanic. I think it would be good if it's only available on specific conditions, like if it's a monster that hunts with a pack, or it's Gore Magala affecting them through the frenzy virus.

Here's a thought of mine while playing through MH1. The issue with the critters in modern MH is not just their lack of aggression. They also die way too easily. The MH1 Ioprey, for example. They are already ridiculously aggressive, but also, their hp is high enough that they don't die after a few hits. Making each and every unit a legitimate threat. There's no killing them all in one fell swoop, and even if you do kill them, more will come. I think these 3 factors of aggression, bulk, and infinite reinforcements make them an even bigger threat than the main monster sometimes. Now, do they need to be this tanky in modern games? Maybe not. But I hope in MH6, they're not complete pushovers that you kill without even realizing it. At least make the player feel their presence first. They came close with the Girros. I just wish they were a bit tankier. Edit: Also, I think their hitbox is larger? I have trouble dodging through these guys whenever they get me into a corner. So, 4 factors, if I'm right about this one.

@@kurosan0079 I agree. As a Hammer user especially, I completely forget the existence of smaller monsters in modern MH. They are such non-issues that you forget they're there, unlike MH3 and the like where you had to manage their numbers every couple of minutes with the main pack leader to make sure you don't get swarmed. It was a nice balance. Hopefully we get fresher small monster tactics with MH6!

You’re gonna make a tear fall upon my eye. Thousands of thanks!

Many thanks! Hopefully in the future I can get the JP version working so I can join the emulated server.

I salute you!

Glad you enjoyed! The edits were made with love!

Oh if only… I desperately wanted this but alas circumstance did not allow it… But in Freedom Unite? … _wink wink_

Yep! It's me! Every single masochistic hunt without trying the incredible Lance. I think I have a concussion now. Hah! Maybe if I ever get the online mode working then I would definitely try it out.

The first bits of confusion and despair when fighting your first monster being imploded into a sense of confidence and tenacity when you see the monster flinch and start going down is a rush like no other!

When your shitty beginner blade bounces all over Kut-Ku: "What the shit?!" After reading some online FAQs: "Oh, the monsters have weak and hard points? Interesting!"

The Egg quest was the worst thing I’ve had to do in a while. It SUCKED. Glad I could hit you with nostalgia! Thanks for sticking around to watch it!

Many thanks! I have no doubt you’ll fare better than me! God be with you- if not him, then may your fellow hunters assist in this venture!

Hah! Thanks a lot! We have an understanding from the sheer anus clenching PAIN and following relief and dopamine hit from success in this game!

Hah! Yeah, it was definitely something to get used to. Thankfully, some of the gathering areas got a lot more obvious and recognizable later on... and in Tri they were naturally able to be seen and pop out to the player but not like complete eye sores, like, say, World, where it just screams "GATHERING POINT."

Always! They get hit by the big ol’ Rathalos and BAM. They think I’m to blame!

@@TemplarBlonic i love you mate, please keep doing what you enjoy, because we all enjoy it as well! Its always good seeing a passionate mh player :)

Having the ability to play a classic MH title online was… unrivaled. There was nothing more fun and Tri, the game I started with, was the most fun I have ever had online. Glad I could send you back to the pit of despair, hah! Thankfully those days might be relived with the private servers online… but I have no plans of doing that myself.

Oh how I hated that so much. It was an issue until World, too! Every game before World had issues with arenas and Rathian being able to spam that stupid charge! I do hope that we have more “read, not react” mechanics in Monster Hunter like we used to. There are still reads but not nearly as much of the hunt is reliant on it as it was before World.

Knight Blonic ideally, it should work as a spectrum. Attacks that need to be read shouldn’t function as they do in early games, with literal 0 frames of windup, but rather with very quick animations that happen under specific conditions (I.e. Garuga doesn’t attack for X seconds, it takes a step back and charges)

@@MHMega Even if there was no startup, you'd typically still get used to when monsters threw out these moves because it was based on your positioning.

Trime That doesn’t mean Garuga teleporting itself into a 0 frame charge animation is good design. It looks bad and doesn’t really make sense

Yeah? Well YOU’RE top quality kek! Slander? Nah…

Wire bugs are absolutely insane! Just kind of odd how they render the Barioth and Tigrex completely… moot. Not that I was a fan of either, but now they’re both exceedingly easy to take care of.

Hah! I’m honored you liked it so much! You know what’s funny? I am in HunsterVerse! Completed most of the village quests, started recording for MHFU, but then Elden Ring came out so I need to make a video on that… and then it’ll be back to Monster Hunter!

Hah! Happy anniversary!

Hah! Yeah, MH1 was ludicrous! Soulsborne is hard but MH1 is entirely based around obtaining everything through your own merit and time. Even healing items!

Yeah A lots of healing items the only thing keeping me playing is the epic music

Agreed. The fact that they’ve stuck with the main skeleton is impressive. Now I just wish they’d cut back on experimentation and try and perfect what they learned from Tri(online and underwater combat) 4U(terrain combat), Generations(special abilities), World(general QoL and world building) and Rise(faster transportation and snappier combat akin to Old World).

I'm glad you and others got enjoyment out of my torture! Hah!

Then you understand the struggle, good sir!

Hah! This is true, but back then it was like some kind of masochistic pleasure that came when you finally completed an upgrade and you felt the power of your upgrade on the challenges ahead. Tri probably hit the perfect sweet spot. MH4U was amazing and World did something alright with its variation depending on the online, but nothing will ever be as satisfying as Tri/3U IMO. And I’m honored! Hope you stick around!

Everything was about preparation and making sure that you were set for whatever could come your way! Couldn’t just wing it compared to World and Rise.

@@TemplarBlonic too true. In gen 1 every single item mattered. Especially flash and sonic bombs. And not only was each item valuable and rare due to crafting materials often being scarce but it felt like items truely decided the output of the quest. Coming from portable 3rd into rise I had zero trouble going into high rank at light speed with duals because of how easy it was . I miss getting hit from a mile away with old hitboxes

@@redkoba2671 Although I don’t agree with the missing of bad hit boxes, I do miss the impact and reward of taking time to farm items to take out monsters. It felt like the fruits of my labor were productive!

@@TemplarBlonic oh yeah the hitboxes are just a nostalgic thing I love from unite, thank goodness for the proper ones in recent games tho. Yeah it felt good feeling that your effort paid out after quests and farms

The honor is mine to have a gem of a subscriber to happen to come across my silly little video! Thank you so much! Hah! MH1 is exceedingly janky, but it was definitely a learning experience and taught me to have more appreciation for what we have today!

Indeed! It laid the foundation for what the series is.

Oh, buddy… As you saw in the video, I had a similar struggle. Apparently you have to have a specific distance away from their head for it to work. Unlike 4U up to Rise, flash bombs have a specific range that they work in. If you can measure your Hunter’s length and envision it as an extension of the Rathalos head vertically, then you should be able to land them more. However, when the Rathalos is idle while flying(such as rising or just about to land) the flash range seems to be incredibly generous. Let me know how it goes!

@@TemplarBlonic Took me a few days to reply, I have finally took down poster boi. I tested out the flashes distance and managed to dunk him a couple of times. The feeling of taking him down was the same as when I hunted Alatreon for the 1st time. Thanks a lot man :D

@@hen_thigh Course! I felt the same. When I first solo’d a Jhen Mohran in Tri or in 3U completed the Brachydios duo in G-rank was among the high points and this Rathalos hunt finally being conquered gave me a hit of dopamine that I love the series for. Excellent work, my friend!

Hah! I tried to make sure I crafted the perfect agony of the cacophony of chaos I had to endure.

I make a point to add that to every gaming video I do of this caliber. Take the good with the bad!

Old MH has that feeling incarnate where it takes a while but when it FINALLY clicks you feel such a dopamine hit after every success. Amazing feeling! I look forward to reliving my entry into the series with 3U. After MHFU that’s the goal!

Already happened. Hated it so much.

Your kind words fuel me! Thank you ever so much!

HAH! I have experienced your pain, friend! Kut-Ku was rough at first but this game retaught me how Monster Hunter was originally about "Read, not React" gameplay. If you got down their combos, you were set. Still challenging, but you could learn intricate holes in their hitboxes and avoid damage almost completely. I am honored that you enjoyed this! It was a tough journey of a game but it was worth it... if nothing else but bragging rights!
