Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

[Lord Commander Dante]

Should i buy a switch ? :|

Im totally invested into MHW, love it to the bone, but them 93 monsters from GU totally got me interest and keep reminding me how varied the game compared to World.
Anyone has the game and willing to share his opinion?
I saw countless reviews but i feel like its silly to buy an entire console for 1 game... or is it ? :)

Do your research on the way old MH works before jumping.

MHXX/MHGU is one of my favorite Monster Hunter games due to the sheer amount of content that while reused, all works as it should. Nothing is shoehorned in or doesn't jive with the rest of the game. Each weapon has 6 styles, and optional Hunter Arts which brings in a lot of replayability. And the difficulty scales reasonably, so a newcomer to the traditional MH titles shouldn't have to big an issue.

i won't call generation or generation ultimate is traditional MH

If you're not used to old MH jank, the transition from World to GU will be pretty rough.

It is though. Just with optional styles. If you play Guild Style with no Hunter Arts equipped, it's no different from any MH title before it. It's an Anniversary title meant for fun, but it contains all the core peices for a normal game.

it was indeed a spinoff for MH anniversary i think it was the 10th ?
but the sad look is many newcomer from MHW think that they are experienced real MH...by just playing MHGU well i recommended them to tried 4U first well if i did tell them to play even older MH they may hate that MH and didn't act tough and so powerfull after playing older gen too much
sorry for bad english

I mean I started with MHFU and I don't mind anyone "starting" with MHGU. Like I said it contains the core peices that make Monster Hunter what it is, and it just so happens to have nearly every single Monster from the past games. Also I wasn't a huge fan on MH4U. Not sure why, it didn't feel great.

Yo.. just gonna mention.. you freaking need 3 plattforms to play these 3 games you mentioned. The majority probably has.. 1.. at most 2. I think that the very minority actually owns a 3ds.. switch.. pc/ and or ps4/xbox.

Freedom unite on the other hand can be played on pc.. tablets and good smartphones tho. I always recommond playing the even older titles. Classics.

I have MHGU on 3DS, and I recently picked up a switch to finish it.

Going from World to GU, you are trading quality of life for raw content. Most of the core features of World are vastly expanded upon in GU - weapon crafting and palicoes have entirely different systems altogether. On the other hand, you have to manually empty your inventory after every hunt, gathering is more resource intensive, and combat is a little less responsive. It's still a solid entry for MH.

As far as the switch goes, its more impressive than I expected. The joycons feel better in handheld mode than attached to the controller dock and the display is quality. Gotta say 70 bucks for the pro controller is ridiculous though. You also have to pay a subscription fee to play online, which is a little annoying considering MHGU had no such fee on the 3DS.

The game is totally worth getting but if World is your first MH game keep in mind that the experience is going to be DRASTICALLY different, so do your research as much as possible before you jump into it or you will not have a good time.

But if you're getting a Switch for only one game I would be a bit hesitant on that. I'd recommend that you look at other Switch games that might interest you first and if you are able to find at least 3 games that you see yourself playing then go right ahead!

Only if you're interested in the history of monster hunter because genU has almost every past monster but it's very clunky compared to world.
The switch does come with a paid online "service" tho and g-rank is always balanced towards multiplayer so keep that in mind too.
Some HR bosses that are fat sacks of HP and a DPS check like nakarkos are borderline impossible without a team.

Buy a secondhand system if you only want to play one game.

For the game itself, it's just there to make you appreciate how far the series has come. Not very fun to play through by yourself.
