Monster Hunter was mindblowing to me when it came out. So many memories playing the series on PS2, PSP and 3DS.
My mom wouldn't allow me to play MMOs (with subs) back then because she was hellbent not putting her CC number online. So this was nice sort of kind of placebo for me lol!

The first PS2 game was definitely the first time I played, but 3 Ultimate on 3DS got me hooked and I became a fan ever since.
Not sure why the ones in between didn't work for me.

My first game was Tri. Loved it so much I got a PSP to play Freedom Unite. I have played every mainline game back since then.
Coincidentally, I just copied over my FU and Portable 3rd saves on a newly bought Vita. Very surreal to finally play those games with dual analog sticks.

Honestly, the range and impact of the QOL features that gen 3 introduced can't be overstated. Something as seemingly benign as having a context-sensitive harvesting action without pulling out that specific tool cut literal hours out of the process of farming in any given game and is simply a standard feature to this day.
Been with the series since the original M-rated PlayStation Underground network test disc convinced me that I wasn't throwing my head into a wall after taking down my very first Yian Kut-ku, and I don't think that love will ever waver.
My favourite franchise after playing and loving MHW and MHR. One of my gaming regrets it's that I didn't get into the series sooner. Come on Capcom where are my remasters.
A person in high school I hung around loved Monster Hunter and constantly tried to get me into it. It worked. Portable 3rd was my first.
Happy 20th. Really looking forward to Wilds!

My first experience with Monster Hunter was with Freedom Unite on the PSP, playing a demo that only just left me confused on how in the world I'm supposed to play. It wasn't until I badly needed a new Wii U game in the first-year drought that I tried 3 Ultimate's demo, and it actually ended up clicking with me better. I was still a clueless beginner on several things, but I understood it enough to keep playing until I hit a wall and then rethink how to overcome it. I didn't even reach High Rank, yet I put a lot of hours into it.
Then 4 Ultimate released, and that's where I fully clicked with the series. That was my near-daily game to go through from the moment it came out up until my last few days of high school. I used to do a quest or two before my first class would finally start. My knowledge wasn't expert-level, but I got into G-Rank, so that accounted for something. I've been into the whole series since then, Stories series included.
All this started from there being no other Wii U games to play in the first few months of launch. Funny.
