Is monster hunter "fun"?

Shitty gameplay that requires dozens of hours to just learn it and play properly.

The series has interesting monsters tho.

"fun" translates to "enjoyable" which means that it's entirely subjective and depends on whether you personally like the game or not

>gameplay is bad because skill ceiling is high
Mental illness post

Yes, very rewarding

Why is "fun" in "quotations?"

It has cute girls.

I like it but it's not for everyone

Gameplay is great, because retards like you think it's shitty

I enjoy it, but it's incredibly repetitive. If you like grinding for cool looking/functional armor, be prepared to fight the same monster 5-10 times.

its pretty rewarding if you have some patience

there's not enough human males x actual monster female porn

I can't afford several hours of practice with one type of weapon just so I can hunt the difficult monsters.

The series may be more suited for people like you who can waste their time this way.

Not for me, still a cool design with those monsters.

Thank you. Exactly. I don't want to spend my small amounts of free time doing the same missions over and over again so I can get a new sword.

Max difficulty hunts take like 9 minutes solo if you're good. This grind complaint shit is weak. You spend more time jerking off than it takes to farm a whole set.

What's the easiest way to get through it? Like the weapon I can get to cheese fights easiest? I just want to be able to tell people I played it but god it's boring sometimes.

Give me a fun weapon for Gen and World, Yea Forums
I'm sick of Charge Blade

yeah but jerking off feels good the whole time until the end when you get post nut syndrome, but monster hunter is like the reverse where most of it is the post nut syndrome until the end of the hunt and all the dopamine rushes in

Longsword, Bow, Dual Blades, Hammer, and IG are really enjoyable without really needing many armor skills imo

Greatsword and Gunlance are fun too but need a few more decorations and skills to really feel good to play

It's fucking great. Especially if you have friends to hunt with.

One issue is that I don't think I'll ever play a monster hunter game like I did 4u... not sure if it wore off or that one was just better.

I just couldn't get into the handheld MH games after Freedom Unite.

I think 4U ended up being my least played MH and it's a shame because I only ever hear good things about it.

I usually blame it on the DS being a lot less comfortable for me than the PSP for long sessions, but I'm not sure if that's really why.

The fun doesn't really peak or reach great heights but it is consistently a good and fun game

I mean the gameplay is more fun then Souls games for sure but if you dont like to grind then it can get kinda old fast. But if you're willing to not pigeon hole yourself to just one weapon then the game can offer plenty of variety .

the people who like the game fight the same monster hundreds of times and they abandon quest 90% of the time, so they don't even get any materials or money. 'grinding' for equipment is one of the tiniest, almost irrelevant aspect of monster hunter

It's "fun" once you experiment with the weapons and see when each clicks for you. For me learning monster patterns and optimizing time always kept me on my toes. However, finally learning the Hammer and hitting my first couple of golf swing KO's I really got into it and just delved further into each weapon type to see what works and what doesn't for various monsters. Though I will owe Monster Hunter 4U for the "craziest" hunting experiences in multiplayer where you will see all sorts of shit as you progress and learn the game.

>abandon quest 90% of the time

Fucking love 4U's clusterfuck of a playerbase because the guy who rushed the room to post his urgent is the worst and he knows it by the time we all go back and start typing messages. I adore urgent whores just to see them get fucked and disconnect.

god i miss that

It sucks when you want to farm the boring monster nobody likes to fight. Part of the reason I never finished my Cedeus set in 3U.

Whats a good MonHun to get into now lads? My last game was Tri but I got so burned out on it I never even moved onto 3U. I think it's all out of my system now and I'm ready to dump another 1000 hours.

Depends. If your like the idea of fighting monsters with sometimes questionable hitboxes over and over again so you can get new gear to kill those monsters slightly faster then sure.

Started playing World it with two friends recently, the best thing about this game is the grieving you can do to eachother
>Gunlance people off of ledges
>Keep stunning people with dual blades
>Make people fly with the switchblade
Just started + mode and killed the pink Rathion, feels a bit grindy to get gear but that might be because we're still dicking about and trying to get eachother killed

Yes i would sy it's pretty fun.

Your game is fucking trash

Yes, up until a certain point.

End game hunts are just slogs if you're playing solo (which is the only balanced way to play MH). Hyper monsters in GU, for example, just have retarded health inflation and the average player would have to spend 40+ minutes on the likes of Hyper Jho

Brainlet detected

If you can’t pick up a monster’s moveset the first time you hunt them you’re literally retarded

>Timers installed to get stat walls
What the fuck is any of this even

I miss playing 4U with my friends, bros. Shit was so cash.
Why friends gotta drift apart and stuff

World is good if you want a slightly more casual experience, otherwise get MHGU on Switch. It has a ton more content but its missing a lot of QoL stuff. That said, G rank is coming to MHW in Iceborne (later this year, early next year for PC).

Who here still plays MH4U?

So you are a LITERAL casual and not looking for a game with depth. Why even post here? especially if your time is so valuable. lol

fucking retard

When you main charge blade you are mentally retarded anyway.

Is any of the MH games "obsolete"? Like the only one I own is 4U (got with my N3DS XL) but right now I really can't afford anything else. Like are new titles "improved" versions or each game has merit? I know about "Ultimate" versions, I'm not talking about those.

Yeah if you really don't want to grind this is not the series for you. Even the first weapons and armor you are able to craft from monster parts take more grinding than a shitty casual can handle and it's nothing.

brave longsword

what the fuck has this board come to

please respond

Only with a hammer.

Not for casuals.

The main feature of casual games, specially mobile shit, is that they try really hard to treat the player as some sort of celebrity, pamper the player so he keeps playing and maybe buy more DLC or loot boxes.
A hardcore game doesn't treat the player like royalty yet it respects the player's intelligence more than casual games. In MH you make your character and start your monster hunting career from scratch, it can take hours before you even start hunting a real monster, you will spend the first few hours gathering meat from walking meat sacks that don't fight back, killing shitty tiny velociraptor type faggots, fishing, gathering a set number of resources, etc. You're handed a shitty weapon and told to do basic grunt work (as a tutorial) before you upgrade to an actual monster (the first few real monsters you can hunt are NOT even hard to fight with starting gear if you're not completely braindead).

Oh don't expect your armor to protect you much. It certainly helps but not getting hit is always the goal.

>wtf I was grinding 50 dragon dicks and 20 epic foreskins for 20 hours to make this epic armor and 1/3 of my health is still gone boo-hoo

don't get hit faggot and eat a good meal before you hunt.

Embarrassing

I’m dead
First time seeing this variation

I'd play on my 3DS, but I can't go back to using that tiny ass screen. I've gotten too used to emulation.

That would be the skill floor, but whatever.

Then learn how to play the games, jackass.
Took me under 20 hours to become proficient at the game and that knowledge continued for the thousands of hours I put into future installments

depends on if you like that kinda game. It's grindy, in all itterations, but like- if you can enjoy the gameplay enough it doesnt really "feel" like a grind, same as any other game. it's a competent hack 'n slash and worth trying at least once, but the amount of time required to get through it can be a bit of a turn off if you just want a more simple ride forward through your games

>I don't enjoy this series because I waste my time progressing to an adept skill level

?????
Where the fuck do you think you are?

>Autistic speedrunners represent the average player

Try again, pal

If you find grinding fun then I guess.

The MH speedrunning scene in general is AIDS for the game. Making shitters go astray (who have neither the skill nor gear) by tricking them into thinking they've stumbled accross a magical "meta". Trying to copy some solo-play speedrun youtube autist. One who managed to make something look effective.... after 10 million failed runs, finally getting one decent RNG run recorded onto Youtube.

The shitter then proceeds to try and emulate speedrun style in online teamplay, and spirit slashes / lance pokes / launches / trips teammates into oblivion because what works in solo rarely translates well into multiplayer. Oh well, at least a substantial amount of the scrubs get pleb-filtered before endgame.

If you’re autistic sure.
