Honestly, you’ve completely convinced me to try this out. And this is coming from a newcomer to the series.

If your coming from Rise or World know that the skill system in older games like MHGU works different. In order to activate a skill you need to have at least 10 points in a skill.

I enjoy playing it. I completely understand if newer players wouldn't want to play it as much because there is a learning curve, but I grew up with MH4U and like going back to MHGU and playing. It sucks that the servers are gonna shut down soon tho :,(

Yeah it's sad! I grew up with Monster Hunter Tri & i wanted to play MH3U. Got it for a few bucks a few weeks ago. Sadly the servers are offline now if i've read that correctly. (8 April, right?) I will take a look at it anyway, if i got the time, but it's sad not to experience it with the online community.

I started with GU on Switch and my older bro started with World and apparently he played bow there so when he came over and I had him try GU I recall him saying how weird the bow felt compared to World and that he didn't like it and would pass on getting the game. I mentioned this story since your comment reminded me of it and how the difference in how weapons play between games can affect whether a person would be interested in older games in the series. Also, Aerial Style Hammer for life.

MHGU just has a ton of content to absorb when playing the game, the game afterall was made as a celebration, a "festival" I dont get much triumph and adrenaline in completion of a narrative like MH4U, but this game is really fun to do with other people, and there are a ton of challenges to take on, a good variety rather than "monster have big damage hit" There are a ton of ways to play the game with the various weapons that have came from the older titles, and the newly added weapon styles and hunter arts, aswell as the ability to play as prowler; my favorite class (boomerang cat armageddon) There is a learning curve, which can be overwhelming, but as most games work, the more you play, the more used you get. My only gripe with the game IMO is that due to the vast majority of content this game has, trying to complete it like a story game, much like the previous games, will be a very sluggish and exhausting experience, oh yea and hyper monsters are ass i hate them (A HYPER DURAMBOROS HAS THE SAME HP AS A WHITE FATALIS RAGHHHHHHHHH) Deviants are hard from the start if you arent prepared, and as you climb the 16 quests that each Deviant has (aside from the G-RANK exclusive deviants), you are given more preperation and time to learn the monster patterns as you go from low-rank deviants to EX deviants. This is why i believe EX deviants are a good challenge, their difficulty is quite artificial but it allows you to apply the knowledge of the G-RANK fights with the risk of getting oneshot if you are cocky enough, the previous quests allowed you to adapt to the monster before the "actual" challenge comes by, with a few extra steps thrown in such as EX Bloodbath stabbing his horn into the ground thrice times rather than twice to throw you off. So, to be honest, MHGU is a great game when you are in the endgame, but it can be a bit well, exhausting at times in low-rank, and you CAN be disappointed if you expect a decent narrative to be made while playing the game, this game was mostly made as a celebration of monster hunter, it is, as i said before, a "festival"

Absolutely yes. This game is timeless

Was looking to play this recently, Started MH3U way back in the 3DS and had played MH4U and MHGenerations as well. I can only say that this games is a keystone title in the Franchise. Just with the Fighting Styles alone, not to mention prowler mode, the content is 2-3x over a normal MH game. If Capcom ported this to PC as it is and do cross play, I bet it could give both rise and world a run for their money.

Coming from freedom unite I really appreciate the snowy mountains coming back.

Good video bro, I really like MHGU :)

Hell yeah. GU is still such a great game. Actually prefer it to Risebreak. Valor GS is just so much fun.

Honestly though, there's several other negatives. Even as someone who played since PS2, going back to the old games now is extremely rough, as Rise and World have done away with a ton of extremely grating minor inconveniences. Things worth mentioning for newer players coming to this game; - The UI for skills, abilities, and gear comparison is vague and muddled. You'll need to comb through guides to really understand some of the gear and deco mechanics, as they don't do a lot to tell you from the UI alone. - Inventory management is a pain in the ass in these older games. You can't auto-sort based on what you have equipped or by gear category, item category, etc., so you'll need to learn where everything is if you have a stuffed inventory. - The zones on each map are segmented by loading screens, and yes, you CAN be knocked through a 'door' into a loading screen and it is quite annoying. Rule of thumb is never fight near a door. This is probably my largest holdup when returning to the older titles these days, because I feel the larger open maps have been one of the biggest boons to immersion in the series. - Monsters honestly get frightened and run away a LOT more often. Get used to paintballing every other time you engage so you can always track them. Tracking the monster is not a thing in these old games, so if you lose them on the map, you may have to play hide and seek if they aren't in the next area over. - SHARPENING STONES ARE NOT INFINITE! You will need to carry these! - You can't quickmenu crafting, unless I just forgot how. Get used to navigating the menu if you're someone who likes to craft on the hunt. For that matter, you can't quickmenu anything - you have to scroll through your inventory vanilla style. I loved GU when it came out and put almost a thousand hours into it, but going back to it after having been spoiled by the modern games is rough. The first several hours are extremely dull and full of minor monster slaughter and gather quests, and things don't really begin to pick up till midway through low rank 3 when the monsters get a little more exciting. Definitely had my nostaglia goggles knocked off when I revisited this. BUT, despite all this, it's still a really solid game. The loss of QOL, while aggravating, doesn't take entirely away from it being a large game stuffed with content, and when you find a weapon and style that really clicks for you, it's fantastic. Get over the hurdle of the first several hours and learn some of the changes and you'll be able to adapt and have fun, even if you're a newcomer to the franchise. Just, don't expect it to be as easy to pick up and grow addicted to as World and Rise were - it takes some investment.

I think the loading screens and segmented maps add to the immersion. World and Rise force the hunting area to be very localized whereas in classic games, a hunting locale can be miles across. The loading screens sell the idea that your hunter is traveling for a while before reaching the next zone.

I love this game, and every monster hunter fan should play it. It's truly the 'cap stone' game of the older generations, and has just about all the content from all the older games. The only things left out are some of the gigantic bosses where you had to use the environment to take it down rather than directly fighting it. You can solo all the content, even the G-rank monsters with skill and patience. To say this game has an ocean of content is an understatement. It's like having every main line dynasty warriors game in one, and DW8 alone as hundreds of hours of content. You can put *THOUSANDS* of hours into this game always having something new to go after or other weapons to master. This game even has a fully fleshed out Palico mode with as many ways to fight as the cat as there are ways to fight with the most complex of the 14 weapons types. Get this game, it's a no brainer. I got this game for $20 in an E-shop sale.

Mhgu still has that old classic monster hunter feel but with something new with hunting styles whether u want to play defense or aggressive theres alot to offer. I would definitely recommend it if your into the classic mh games

Just got a switch & if you loved mhw you’ll love this on a switch happy hunting

Good video short and to the point, with great attention to detail by adding timestamps, i expect the algorithm to pick this up soon enough you did an amazing job,: could you perhaps make an upgrade material guide for the game when i started that was the biggest obstacle i found and what stopped me from enjoying the game since i searched for 6 hours where all the materials were especially when you have to rush through to get to HR, G ranks to enjoy the entirety of the game

I'm thinking about making a little series for that kind of materials. You have any other that i should add to my list? I dont know if i will do it, but i'm thinking about it atm.

Me and my friends recently started playing again. Running things as a 3 man. We loved world and Rise and came to the conclusion old MH style is still king. From the feeling of the weapons making contact to the non baby mode quests it’s just amazing. It’s the perfect game.

Hey just wanted to say that its really cool that you're making MHGU videos on KZread. This game is goated

Imma admit, comming off of tri, 3U, and 4U, I didn't get all that used to the whole style thing, and mostly stuck with Guild LOL. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but that lot of content is no understatement.

World was my first mh game fell in love with the game and then bought and played rise. Saw mhgu on sales so I bought it and wow. Rise and world were fun but I didn't expect to enjoy mhgu this much especially when you campare the graphics. The gameplay is so fun I could probably put it above the former two. Mh is probably my favourite game franchise. Truly worth every penny.

I started with 5th Gen, so I had to relearn a lot of things. It is a lot to adjust to, and I thought I'd never learn, but just take it one quest at a time. There are also a lot of weapon guides on youtube. Gunner in particular is very different. I've been playing the entire game solo since none of my friends have the game, and it does hit that same spot that 5th Gen MH does. Progression, you against the monster. The story is very minimal but the core MH gameplay more than makes up for that imo. For any of y'all wanting to dive in I would also recommend watching Hunters Den's video on Palicos. Gives you plenty of info, and you can just take it one section at a time if you don't want to be overwhelmed by all the information at once. I've also posted a comment there that goes more in-depth about getting the moves and skills that you want. That's a bit text dump but thank you if you've read this. I've thought about getting into multiplayer but I'm a Longsword main and I'm kinda scared I'll just get in the way. I DO go for tails (unless there isn't a frontliner weapon in the party such as GS or Hammer- basically if I'm the best potential face smasher then I will smash the face, if I'm not or there isn't another cutting weapon then the tail is my first priority) but the huge range of the Spirit Combo unfortunately lends itself to friendly fire. The advantage I do have though is that I have more spare time than the average person, so I can probably help speed up farming in LR and HR (haven't reached GR yet). PS- haha recognized the BuJaBu set there at 5:24. (For those that are unaware, BuJaBu is a classic early game mix set for blademaster (melee weapons), with Bulldrome helm, arms, and legs + Jaggi chest and waist. It gives you Attack (L) which is great for going through LR fast. It also looks pretty nice which is a bonus.)

Got a guide for this set too! kzread.info/dash/bejne/daprqs6KoqysltY.html And thanks for the kind words :) I think that will help a lot of newbies out (your text dump here & under the palico video). MHGU can be overwhelming at first, but it's worth it imo.

Yes

I'll put it like this: -I would be pissed off if my data in Rise/Sunbreak and World/Iceborn is lost and I had to start again from zero, so I would stop playing for a while. -I would be a bit anoyed if the same where to happen to my 4U or GenU data, but I would start a new save that same day.

I absolutely love Gen Ultimate and I hate how slept on it was because of World. I've been playing Monster Hunter since the PSP days and I found World extremely boring and lack luster. My favorite in the series was 4U but GenU is a very close second because of all the content we got for life long fans.

i have mhgu but i won't be playing it anytime soon. but when i do, i'll definitely be coming to this channel for some content on it.

even solo YES in my opinion my FAVORET MONSTER HUNTER and would love it even more if it get ported to pc.

Never played a monster hunter before. Picked this up on the switch about a month ago and regret nothing.

i will still continue playing this game. MHGU is even Played longer by now from me then MHRise because this title don't make so much fun. (my opinion) in with over 2,8k hours in World i still love Monster Hunter. The Second Play in Playtime for me was MHTri on the Wii with over 500h. Dawn so sad that the took of the servers. Now from Generation and 4 Ultimate too.

After playing world then hating it then playing it again and liking it more but still kinda hating it then bought gu and kinda hated it then came back 2-3 years later and now I love anything monster hunter lmao

Mhgu is my first monster hunter game, but in future i want to play other mh games too. So, my question, is mhgu harder than other mh games? Just want to feel cool, like i'm starting from the hardest. And also i want to know, is world LS easier than gu's? Cuz if it is, i will be disappointed (i just dont want to play too easie weeb weapon 😔)

hardest one in my opinion MHFU by faar. this game is the only mh game ever that involves strategic farming for upcoming monsters. because there is always a specific weapon for that specific fight that outclasses every other option this game doesn’t have this magical no elemental weapon that can be used against everyone and outperforms everything else. this game is truly a monster hunt.

Mh4 will always be worth a play. Its aged graphically but not in gameplay. Absolute classic. Rise and world will be the same. I still have a bash on 'tri' every so often too.

Mhgu is very fun and feels good not to run attack up or focus on crit every single hunt like in world and rise trying to maximize damage output

A big Fuckinnnngg... YES. even on 3DS even if the network service is down.

worth it, either you play it on your switch or through emulator. 💯% worth it.

Just here to say yes

What they need to do is make a MH collection with online play for all the games.

If you want to have the time of your life it's absolutely worth it

For myself I don't see the need to revisit the game. For old gen mechanics I prefer the other games and for some of the cool stuff on this game, I think rise covers it well enough. I do lament a few monsters being locked to it though.

The first monster hunter I played is MHFU and I grew up with it, at some point I stopped playing games and came back again playing World & Rise and it felt weird & Different. Then I read somewhere about MHGU and the surge of nostalgia hits me, sure it's different than older MH but it doesn't feel weird. Tldr : If you grow up playing old MH I recommend MHGU, and for those who play World & Rise and want to experience what MH used to be and like challenges please give MHGU a try. Really love this video for bringing MHGU under spotlight.

Short answer it’s worth it but it’s got content bloat so don’t expect properly finishing it anytime soon

Yes.

I got one thing to say for those New World hunters that are owners of GU, or thinking of becoming one : Congratulations. And really, if you're neither one yet - What's wrong with you?

Yeah

Yes it is now give me a steam game for it.

Unpopular opinion maybe, but imo MHGU is one of the most beautiful games out there, above both World and Rise and only second to Elden Ring. You always get to look so far into the distance which makes it all seem so massive and the colors are clear and amazing. I think there are not a lot of games that give you such a massive sense of scale, while actually being quite limited. Looking at the Wilds trailer I think they rediscovered that aspect of the games again.

Yes its worth it having so much content why ignore it

U can get this game for like 20$ I’d say it’s worth it

Mhgu is just objectively bette in. Its. Monsters and gameplay and weapons. It just feels 2x funner and then becomes 4x funnr with aerial style

I tell my friends that MHGU/XX is the best Old World experience. Then explain that the old world games are grindier with more of a fuck it/rule of cool personality

Still holds a place in my heart for play. I like world and rise, but there's something great here to come back to.

Is not just worth it Is a *_MUST_* It's the peak of old gen style MonHun Frontier is also pretty damn good but Zenith and other stuff just makes it ridiculous Impresive, but absurd in a damn crazy level GU is everything any Hunter need Better than the modern games for sure Except for the knock into loading zones but it doesn't happens that often, specially if you know the zones enought to just walk away from it

no
