As more clearly dedicated hunters trickle into our slice of the fediverse, let’s take the opportunity this smaller community gives us to share how Monster Hunter found us.

    A good friend had the OG for Ps2. He even had the online adapter so he was able to kill Fatalis and get the Dragon Armor. It was sick! He let me borrow it for a while. I remember struggling so hard with Kut Ku lol. I didn’t get to play it much though.

    Not too long from then, Freedom came out and we both got PSPs. We got another couple friends to join us and we played the SHIT out of those games with a full group. So many all nighters getting through the G rank quests. It was a blast. We’ve all stuck with our same weapons ever since (Lance for life)

    People started going off to college during the 3DS days, but we picked up a few more friends and were still able to get a lot of parties together. Those were a lot of fun. I was particularly fond of Gen with the ridiculous aerial styles lol.

    The more robust online of the newer titles helped us keep playing together when we have the time. But man, nothing can beat the old days. I have so many great memories of hunting with my buddies. Monster Hunter will always hold a special place in my heart.

      Truly, nothing can beat the old days. It was more limited, but the local only just made it that much more special.
      Nice to see a fellow lance enjoyer. It was the lowest played in RiseBreak with only 3% play stats per the final digital event! Crazy with it being its best ever imo.

        I kinda get it. People equip one and see that the moveset is just poke, poke, poke. But I love being able to glue myself to the monster attacking relentlessly when other classes have to back off. The early game is always a rush to get guard and guard up gear haha. And now we’ve got the counter game, power guard, and high mounting potential. So good.

          Sticking like no other with Shield Tackle. That was great for most of my MR playthrough. Moved to Guard Dash spam and insta-block later on for endgame, but it was fun as hell while it lasted.
