Love the vid. Am particular fond of how you divided up your analysis of how the different oldschool generations handled and how they fit together as a while. I particularly liked you giving a shout-out to Gen 4's setpiece porn, as well as the breakdown of the ups and downs to the individual titles. Very cool and a delightful watch and nostalgia trip. 10/10, would hunt Gore Magala with

Honestly the only thing I could say that you missed would be MHG for Wii. It such a weird game as it has a Trenya mechanic with your Poogie, all of the 1st Gen weapons were updated to have their 2nd Gen movesets, items stack in the item box and pouch. Speaking of the pouch you have a third slot in your pouch for collectables and other items. They also added Harvest Tour quests. Also if you don’t like the original control scheme you can swap between the Portable controls and the PS2 controls whenever you want. Despite all of that it still lacks Yian Garuga from Freedom, as it is just a port of MHG on the Wii with additions from Freedom Unite and Dos. I will say that trying to find out what content is available for G Offline has been a pain, since the Wiki doesn’t list what Quests are available in either version of G. With it only listing the quests for MH1 and Freedom. With how many changes they made to MHG for Wii, I almost wish that they made it an expansion of G/Freedom rather than a straight port. It being an expansion of Freedom and G probably would have helped its sales numbers also.

Yeah, the changes definitely put it in a weird place where it's hard to say if it's worth your time today. They do sound like improvements for the most part, but they move the game even further from the "original vision" of 1st Gen. And as I talked about in the video with regards to Freedom, I feel like that dilutes the main reason you'd want to play 1st Gen, to see that original form of the series. If you wanted an improved version of 1st Gen, then you're probably still better off playing 2nd Gen. It also feels like a weird choice for the time. Like I feel like some people in Japan must have started the series with MHG Wii... And then if it's still as hard to get into as the rest of 1st Gen, bounced off and never played Tri, even if Tri would have been a game they could get into...

Saying that one game is better does not, perforce, imply that the other is bad. Afterall, Terminator and Alien are better than Judgement Day and Aliens. Doesn't mean that those latter two are bad. They're two of my favorite movies of all time and I actually enjoy them more than Terminator and Alien. Just that I can also acknowledge that Terminator and Alien are the superior movies from the point of storytelling and the impact they had on film.
