which monster hunter game should i start with?

[twiggy]

i already beat world/iceborne but im looking to play the first/older games. from what i gathered, the very first monster hunter game (ps2) was really bad due to the controls and thus the psp port version is better. however i also read that you might as well just start with freedom unite becuase its the base game with all the dlc included? im confused and would like some help!

Just know the older games are rough around the edges compared to world

Monster Hunter world part 2

MHGenerations and MHGenerations Ultimate (if you like to play on a larger screen) are also good starting points to the 'old' Monster Hunter.

I believe these two entries also have the most monsters to date. And, if you are looking to change up your playstyle, MHG introduced Hunting Styles which are neat little gimmicks.

Buy a 3ds and play all the 3ds MH games

i would say any 3rd gen game and after. anything older is where all the stereotypes of old world come from, 3rd gen still has issues but it's nowhere near as archaic feeling.

i have to agree. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and Generations are other games you can try, these are extremely fun titles to play. a lot of fans will recommend you having your spin at them. i highly enjoyed playing Mh4U as my fist game into the franchise. you will not be disappointed.

2 is at the very least 2-3 years off.

If you can, play the very first installment so you can fully appreciate how far the series has come when you play one of the other MH games.

Freedom Unite

I'd recommend:
MH3 / MHP3rd / MH3U
MH4U
MHGen / MHGenU

Anything older than that is kinda painful to play. People love MHFU, i couldn't get into it, feels too much dated for my taste.

I can't imagine any other answer other than MHGU, it basically has everything all the other games had (unless you're just into those sweet sweet underwater hunts lol). You're not going to be playing the old games for the story that's for sure.

Personally i'm a huge fan of freedom unite or mh2g. It's very difficult. Even farming for your armor set was hard. The rare items were super rare. Very satisfying when you clear a quest or get the rare item. But i enjoyed the difficulty
