Monster Hunter X was recently announced for Japan at a Nintendo Direct streaming event and it looks beautiful, with lots of tricky new species to decimate and fondly familiar locations to visit. Then I get a little help from my friends. Though it does leave me rather stuck if I need an item that can only be sliced, rather than bludgeoned, off a monster. I can leave a Monster Hunter game cold for months on any console and pick it back up with the muscle memory flooding back, able to effortlessly flow a level one charge into a triple pound combo with a roll flourish at the end.
After I started to use it on a whim back in Freedom Unite wielding a Hammer has since become second nature to me and I have a hard time trying something new. I’m not going to be able to speak much to new weapons introduced. The upgraded versions are in all cases the better choice. I’ll only mention the expansion versions of the games when one is available, since they’re usually so similar beyond content additions. Therefore I imagine they would rank pretty low on the list I’m about to make, so no loss there. I hear those were clunky and had a lot of egg-fetching quests (Capcom, these are horrible-please stop doing this to us).

I’ve played all the Western releases of Monster Hunter except for the old PS2 versions. And it’s not because you’ve gotten better armor and weapons, though that helps speed things up-it’s because you’ve familiarized yourself with the monster’s behavior through lived experience. Each weapon type in the game plays completely differently, so if you’re having trouble using one you can change it and invoke a completely different game feel with another.Ī beast that was once a dreaded menace will, through practice, become a casual toy to you. Different monster materials make sets that bestow different boons, such as immunity to poison, which can prove useful depending on who you’re up against next. Instead of distinct levels you take the collected bits of your conquered quarry and use those to make new armor. Your goal is to succeed at the missions given to you, which pit you against an increasingly difficult menagerie and combination of monsters. Monster Hunter is a game that relies heavily on experience but not in the point grind sense. I’ve hunted a lot of monsters in my time.
