Me when Berserk

​@@ammagon4519mhfu HR feels like a berserk backstory. Full of pain, frustration and unfair bs. 10/10 would suffer again

@@ammagon4519 Yeah, except your feline is Casca and Plesioth is Femto.

After granny it’s just… P a i n .

​@@TemplarBlonicidk Nekoth quest are mostly fine too. GUILD HIGH RANK ON THE OTHER HAND...

It’s a terrible, life ruining disease! I swears it! Now to continue putting off the Monster Hunter Tri video until servers are able to be made…

​@@TemplarBlonic Tri Ultimate and P3rd also exist man

@@reineKenpachi Yep, already working on 3U. Was hoping for Tri due to more consistent textures and Loc Lac being much more memorable, but… it is what it is.

*_Someone_* gets it! The old MH games most certainly are products of their time, but it feels like they were such laborious works of passion and love for a concept with such limited resources. Even with all of their hilarious mistakes and frustrating, teeth-gritting, nail biting aggravations, I still greatly enjoyed it and could feel what the dev team originally desired! For story… Although the Hunters are superhuman and the monsters incredibly peculiar, they all seem like they could happen in our own world given enough time after a post-apocalypse, especially with the somewhat mirrored version of what our world can look like in the games. It felt like a natural world to explore and to attempt to balance- not just to tame. Rise is fun and I enjoyed it a lot more than whatever World did with its forced story beats, but I agree- it went _far_ too deep into the mystical fantasy settings. Whereas monsters and hunters had this balanced sense of realism with a healthy suspension of disbelief, I kind of just… hated the plot when I saw a monster talking through a Wyverian, along with the mystical aspects being increased tenfold with Rise. Ripped me right out of what I loved about MH stories. And don’t get me wrong- fire breathing dragons are all peculiar, but they design monsters so particularly that they even explain it through biology, organs, and even just believable bullcrap about body parts that _allow_ for some things to happen. Rise’s base game antagonists just didn’t have that grounded feeling. Whereas Tri’s main solo story has you ending it with marveling at a swimming natural disaster(Ceadeus) and MH4U’s was you ensuring that nature never became too wild that it destroys itself(Frenzy Virus), the newest games just seem like they lost that sense of balance of Man _and_ Nature, and just goes into “Man vs Nature.” World kept some of this with Zorah and Xeno, and Rise’s rampages keep the same idea, but the new way they do stories makes the world feel less genuine, even with the “interconnected and breathing world” they are always touting these days. Hopefully we return to the simple complexity of pre-World stories instead of the complex simplicity that is overbearing in post-World stories that brings down the world instead of truly showing the beautiful aspects of Monster Hunter’s breathtaking world, along with taking a moment to hit the brakes and not just rush to the next story beat, with us, ironically, feeling like side characters in our own stories. Edit: I also make a point that, when I make memes or mock something, I show that it still has merit and value. That is what fans do- we mock what we love because we know it has its flaws, but appreciate it as a whole- flaws and all.

@@TemplarBlonic cringe

@@Type00R.Takemikazuchi Stop eating lemons. It’s making you pucker.

@@TemplarBlonic I kneel

Well said.

Same for me! Tri was one of the best and most cohesive online experiences I’ve ever had. You truly grew close to some people because you had to rely on others to succeed in any regard online… unless, like me with these videos, you torture yourself in a masochistic desire to “prove” yourself. With how Tri now has private servers(or at least, will soon enough), I plan on engaging with my fellow veterans there soon enough on Dolphin emulator.

In all games*

The one universal language anyone who plays old MH understands: _Pain._

Nothing like going through immense suffering and challenges just for bragging rights.

Hammer bros are the only truth in Monster Hunter!

Hey now, I'll have you know that all of us Hammer users take IQ tests and we score a solid 75! Take that!

Because out of all games during that time it was the best, and none can really replicate it. I mean game like god eater exists in psp era but it's not as amazing and awespiring as MH. Now we are used to all the new addition it will be hard to go back.

​​@@slate3998It'll never be hard to go back for me :') But that's probably because I didn't really like additions like LS parry (I'm an LS main sadly), the wirebug abilities in rise, monster mounting in general, the gripclaw... I'd take clunky a** gameplay like in MHFU over that any day honestly but there also is a lot of quality of life changes that I enjoy. I wish skipable cutscenes and just being able to play with friends without having to watch them all the time in MH World would be on that list but it is not ._.

Absolutely. It was insane fighting two at the same time!

Bruh now im at elder chief double plesioth Pray for me bruh

@@bensartakamcas1n126 Praying, and KNOWING that you will succeed, hunter!

Worry not! A new video is on the way! It'll just take a bit longer!

You honor me with the highly regarded comment on this work! That is my video style… usually, anyway. Memes half the video, then a tribute to the actual game the second half(or very end) of the video which shows off the game with all its good stuff- showing that no matter how painful and clunky it is, the triumph is well worth it!

If you do, then see you there, hunter!

It was pretty fun putting it all together!

Wait are they not in the newer games?

@@ammagon4519 nope

You honor me! Silly memes have to match what’s going on screen. Too little, and it’s boring. Too much, and it’s overstimulating and _too_ annoying. And even then, the second half of my videos usually always go into a tribute of how great a game is. Good stuff.

Thanks for honoring me with viewing both videos! Most of the effort was getting through the dang game, hah!

It is a truly wonderful franchise. I'm glad you're among those who enjoy it!

​@@TemplarBlonicI will never have a greater high then 3 ultimate with my first alatreon kill

When you’re frustrated and feel like things are going downhill… boom. There’s Proof of a Hero!

Good man. The PSP days were certainly an absurd difficulty spike but man was it fun! So much content and so much to do! Challenges felt amazing to overcome and hunts slowly got faster the better you got at hunting a specific monster! Moga Village is my home but Pokke Village theme is absolutely amazing and fits “home” and “safety” perfectly.

The Wii was a big proponent of such a reason. The 3DS even moreso. Not everyone had a PSP and MH1 was very obscure.

Maybe without the broken hitboxes, but I agree!

Takes a trained eye to recognize that!

Hah! One can hope! Thanks so much! But hey-- as long as people enjoy the videos, I'm happy with that.

Hah! I believe there was. Good ear, friend! Thanks a lot! Might get started on MH4U soon and take care of that one to get another one out! Look forward to that!

Where there’s a will…

Look forward to MH3U in the future!

You honor me! Thank you very much!

Hah! You honor me! I'm nothing compared to the likes of, say, Marco Yolo, Swagger Souls, Mr. Swipez, Russian Badger, etc. etc.. Someday I hope to be among them in quality! Someday!!!

@@TemplarBlonic well Godspeed to you my friend

@@TemplarBlonic Just don't burn out yourself ;d

@@kiravremyanoi4772 Hah! That’s why it takes so long to churn these out- I take my time to ensure burnout is not a threat. But! I hope to get them out faster given how editing has become less of a chore and more fun! It’s mostly playing through a game that takes the most time.

@@TemplarBlonic False, you just spend a lot of time perusing Amazon for the best maid outfit. 🥴 Nah but in all seriousness, love the effort you put into this. Great shit.

Hah! Thanks! Dalek is an amazing artist and his work is too good not to repurpose.

You didn't realize that the pain and difficulty was unusual. Hah! Happened to me, too.

PTSD

@@TemplarBlonic traumatized 💯

MHFU Rajang is unreasonably large while keeping his insane speed!

Yep! That’s the issue with the elder dragon fights in MHFU, but _especially_ with the Fatty trio: Massive HP, hardly know if you’ve done enough damage, and have some bullcrap 1-shot mechanic or attack that puts you down to 1 HP or something like that. Their attacks aren’t even difficult to telegraph, read, or dodge- they’re just boring, walking hitboxes that you just DPS before 50 minutes pass. It’s why so many people were concerned about World’s Fatalis return, but apparently people loved him. Haven’t played him myself, but looking forward to doing so!

@@TemplarBlonic Late, but I think what made him more engaging is that he's not really lumbering as much as he might have before. He's a bit quicker and it really helps.

Agreed, I'm simply in lower high rank rn, and holy cow most Elder Dragon fights are boring, like they're literally just HP dump, at least Kirin is somewhat interesting, even though the fight is somewhat irritating, and Kirin not being a dragon at all.

Get some milk!

Hah! I won’t pay for a therapist at the moment, but I’ll provide a shoulder to soak up all the gross facial fluids you had leaking while watching this! Your experience rings true for me as well, except, for the 3rd gen of MH… but MHFU was when the series was taken from a boulder into a piece of beautiful ore(with subsequent entries slowly crafted that ore into a gem- and continue to do so!) Hopefully more hunters from the new generation try out the old games! They all have something to contribute!

He is why humanity is slightly primitive in so many villages. It wasn’t until Tri/MH3U that we saw actually prospering cities in the Monster Hunter world that we know humanity isn’t borderline extinct anymore. NOT. EASY. The amount of health he has is BEYOND obnoxious.

Tbf, most of the time in any game, gameplay ≠ lore, like how in Pokemon, you can just go catch the literal God of everything with a silly purple ball in one go.

@@ammagon4519 That doesn't apply here, though. Fatalis literally blew up the biggest power in the MH world and the hunters in the game canonically bring the (multitude of) Fatalis and his brothers down.

@@TemplarBlonic ah I see, I've never played World myself.

I believe Capcom retconned Fatalis lore. The only time a hunter (that you play) has ever canonically gone against Fatalis is the one in World. All the other hunters never went against Fatalis officially.

Hah! Glad someone recognized those legendary, terrifying screams!

It is wonderful to look back at our progress and see where we are now. Memories and nostalgia galore!

Still alive! Just working on the next video as I write this!

The echoes of humanity scream for vengeance against the calamity that is Fatalis!

Monster Hunter Experience

It's like a bath with water that is too hot...

Truly a marvel of technology!

Bullying... bullying... I'm confused. I certainly bullied that filthy Tigrex, though!

As you wish!

As it should be.

That's a weird way to spell 3U.

Tigrex was INSANE to deal with sometimes. At other times he's fine, then others he's the most aggressive thing in the series. I had a rough time back then, too!

@@TemplarBlonic i just finished world and currently playing thru iceborne, i am definitely picking up a psp again soon just so i can finally say i beat him

@@MannyBaker711 PSP or you can use the PPSSPP emulator. Either way- good on you! You’ll tear him apart!

Nay thee!

The feeling of overcoming a challenge is unlike any other!

*_LOUD PANIC_*

Many thanks!

Loud as a Jhen Mohran!

@@TemplarBlonic at least Jhen Mohran doesn't spam unlike Diablos or Khezu

@@sigmazeta2044 Ugh. At least Diablos has the decency to keep the jams going in the background, even if in Tri it spams it’s roar 3 times… Khezu is just obnoxious.

Er... yes! Yes it is!

It is one of the funniest noises to me for some reason.

@@TemplarBlonic You inspired me to kill 6 monsters today from this content. lol Rathalos is still as painful as ever.

@@bluSplatKid Man, he is! He was no joke back in the day!

Blood code?

@@TemplarBlonic MHFU by default has tiny blood spatter, and you have the big fuck off blood spatter so I thought that’d be a cheat code like you had to do on regular PSP / emulator.

@@Krasgov Oh yeah! I tried lowering it but it was stuck on that. PPSSPP has a list of codes and you can usually find the file to port into the emulator online if it doesn’t automatically have the codes. Next time I launch PPSSPP I’ll try to get you the name of the code.

Hopefully all good and chuckleworthy! Hah!

Spooky stare!

PPSSPP emulator! www.ppsspp.org/ I also use it to play Dissidia.

Where there’s a will, THERE’S A WAY.

A great journey!

@@kurosan0079 Unironically that’s… shockingly accurate. Trying to attack during a monster’s “turn” just results in being punished.

I prefer their fights in 4U but I agree!

@@TemplarBlonic oh for sure, 4U was just better lol. Those fights were nuts

@@Artik_Masterson Tri and 4U are prime Monster Hunter and everything great about the series.

@@TemplarBlonic yessssss. Especially memes. Je suis monte 😂

@@Artik_Masterson I will forever be haunted by the first batch of Insect Glaive hunters who constantly jumped and whacked me out of my charged hammer. The French screaming haunts my dreams! “JE SUIS MONTE!!!”

I started in Tri. I know. MH1 was tough, though. Very clunky and the time investment is major to get even potions and mega potions compared to even the next few games… But man was it satisfying. I find older games more satisfying and feel the effect of new equipment far more.

Harass me every month and I will get off my lazy rear end and do it. I just need to get past G-Rank! I need to push through!

@@TemplarBlonic aight man bet

@@TemplarBlonicwhere’s the VIDEO!!

Where is the motherf***ing video

LOUD NOISES.

99% yell 1% anything

Find a functioning server and I’ll consider it!

@@TemplarBlonic What about frontier shenanigans server? Playing on it rn (Already at GR300, a lot of fun)
