Comments on: Why I love Monster Hunter! http://www.reign-of-the-rathalos.com/2008/11/why-i-love-monster-hunter/ Where the math is used Wed, 23 Nov 2011 15:37:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Komesanos http://www.reign-of-the-rathalos.com/2008/11/why-i-love-monster-hunter/comment-page-1/#comment-7639 Komesanos Mon, 10 Aug 2009 12:50:49 +0000 http://www.reign-of-the-rathalos.com/?p=733#comment-7639 Which new generation consoles would you buy for just one game? How many ppl have bought GameBoys just for Pokemon? And PS/PS2 because of FF and Metal Gear? I think PSP is the only modern console that achieves this with Monster Hunter, Patapon and a lot of funny, original games that don't care just on cool graphics but on a long time entertainment. I just laugh at my friends when they buy lots of PC parts just to play smoothly a shooter that lasts 5 hours. xD PSP and Monster Hunter the best. Period.

After 100 hours I decided that I was bored with my first weapon style (LS), after 300 I wanted to have a bashing weapon to give my DS more depth. after 400 I unlocked high rank mosters. after 600 hours I've not unlocked aki or Fatty. Monster hunter is a remarkable and chalenging game, with easily more re-play value than anything else that I've ever played. Complete in 300 hours?

I've used the same character since the first MH on PS2 - and even though he's stayed the same (Same hairstyle, same hair/skin color, same voice, yadda yadda) - my fighting style has continually evolved. Just this Thanksgiving, I built my very first heavybow gun in MHP2ndG (yeah, I know, my FIRST) - loved it. Its a totally new strategy to fight with than even a light bow gun or bow. I've always said, if I could only play one game for the rest of time, it'd be Monster Hunter(s). As for why it hasn't boomed here? Its not a first person shooter (technically). Its seems the only games that get credit here are First Person Shooters or Rock Band. I’ll second that (or fourth it?) -

I wanted to ignore the story and just play around. I found that more fun coming up with my own challenges then the story and side missions had me do. With MH, I'm able to do whatever I want; if I what to be a gunner, I could start gunning and buying LBGs. then, once i get board, i can switch to a HBG or a Bow or if i have enought cash, switch to a blademaster set. -over 5000 armor and weapon combinations: Another thing i liked from GTA:SA was the outfits i could where. but the problem is that they really do nothing for you. With MH, you can have random armor sets in apperance, but the stats show that you have an attack boost, more health, and autotracker. and now with gems and jewels, you can make armor sets that look good and have what you want. and, touching back on my first reason, getting that armor requiers doing the missions -multiplayer ya sure, GTA is fun and a challange, but how much fun can you have playing with yourself? really? with MH, you can play with youself, but you can also get your friends together and kill the big guys (elderdragons and sutch) or even pint sized kut-ku. i understand why this game is the best PSP game in japan and i'm puzzled why it hasn't boomed in the US. maybe it's that the US likes a story as well as a challenge. hopefully, with MH:FUnite and the "pokemon-ish" marketing CAPCOM wants to do for it will make it the next best portable game since, well, pokemon. http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/hitec04hitec/imgs/5/8/584a49ee.jpg i love this game for 3 main reasons.

And I can safely say, I was looking for a game like this for ages (One where being lvl 1 is always an option, without having to delete your file or start all over. Simple remove your buff equips, make a n00b set, and you're back to "level 1"). But this statement right here DEFINES what the game is all about, and I couldn't put it better myself.
