My intro to Monster Hunter and truly mindblowing for me at the time. The loop here is so good, the game makes you feel powerful while continually increasing the stakes. It's also so epic feeling, the monsters and the environments are so vast and amazing.
This is the Monster Hunter I spent the most time on and was best at I think. I still miss Wirebugs.
I really like this. It was just really hard to play at launch due to the myriad PC issues. I've tried to get back into it but I've just fallen off and I think restarting it whenever an expansion releases will be the time to get back into it.
