Any other MH games that a worth a shot?

[Calamari Damacy]

Hello.

Ever since I started playing MHW I've fallen in love with MH. It was a game series I didn't think I would like until I picked up this game.

I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions for previous MH games that are worth a shot.

I saw some footage of MH on the switch and it looks quite nice, I'll definately look into it when I finish World!

The PSP ones, Frontier (JP) and Online (CN), the ones from 3DS.

If you want to go beyond then play Monster Hunter and Monster Hunter 2 from PS2.

You guys need understand two things:

If you dont want multiplayer.... dont play any of the older ones. Start with Tri. Otherwise your gonna have to deal with stuff like xlink kai.

MHXX(MH X Ultimate) Is a good spin-off with refreshing gameplay and a big roster (Will release on switch soon for the english community.

MH4U is a very good monster hunter with a lot of content, teaches you the game well and is fun.
It still has an active community on 3DS if I'm not wrong. And some badasses monsters. (Like in XX)

MH3U is a good looking monster hunter (Wii U) (also 3DS, but doesnt look that good) it has a good roster full of nostalgic monsters from the 1st and 2gen. I'd say overall 4U is technically better.

And of course, freedom unite, the one that we all played at some point, some people played the first MH on PS2 but it's rare and in all honestly, was a mess compared to FU, FU is still a mess but much better kind of mess.

And MH, on PS2, I guess some people feel nostalgic about this game, I don't really, it's for masos, but it's the root of MH I guess.

The only ones where you can enjoy MP actively are MHX,MHXX,MH4U,

MHFU on emulators with friends. You can also emulate MHX/MHXX and play with your friends. (If you own the game of course, legal stuff blabla.)

Imo the PSP games are awesome. MHF2 is skippable because MHFU is basically mhf2+expansion. MH (PS2) or MHF (slightly different PSP version) can be a bit rough but they're fun too, especially on an emulator that can speed up loading screens and stuff like that. MH(F) really lacks tons of quality of life changes, but if that's not a problem for you they're still enjoyable.
MHP3rd (PSP; ♥♥♥ only but there are english patches) is a good game too and definitely feels less old.

Haven't played Tri.
3U+4U are decent games too, but I prefer the PSP titles and the 3DS controls never felt as good to me personally.
Generations has a lot of content, is way too easy because of added skills and hunting styles and it contains over the top monsters or versions of already existing monsters (imo).
Can be fun, but there was no challenge in the whole game and just doing regular quests never cost me more than ~8 minutes at most! And I'm not even talking about endgame speedruns.

If you like the gameplay of MHW and don't care too much about graphics, go and play the older games. You should give MHFU and MHP3rd a try.
If you're more intrigued by the stunning areas, details and interaction with the environment in MHW, the older titles might dissapoint you and you shouldn't try them out.

That's just my two cents.
