Which Monster hunter game to start at?
| I'd say the newest one has a LOOOT of Quality of Life changes so if you're interested start with that.
Stuff like auto potion mixing, just always having whetstone and a pick.
| Monster hunter world was designed with new players in mind and I've heard that it succeeded in that regard. It added a lot of changes that make the game more accessible and because of that same reason I think that, if you are planning on playing any other MH, you should start with an older one. I think that a transition MH to MHW should feel fine and even welcome but from MHW to MH you might just miss the changes so much that it could get annoying.
| If you wish to see the pinnacle of vintage Monster Hunter, then Freedom Unite (PSP) is the one to start with. It's the most feature packed of all the original era games, features the creation of G rank, and was the one that cemented the series popularity for years to come. It also has that heavy grit from before they started slowly tweaking the playstyles of everything. Moving from here to Tri/P3rd, to 4U/Gens gives a much greater appreciation of the series as a whole as well.
| World tbh. Other than that, 4U.
After P3rd and 4U, Unite seems so clunky that it's barely playable, in all honesty.>>150296
| >>150401 Unite is playable, I'm still playing it on PPSSPP. After some graphical tweaks it looks good too

Idunno. Still clunky af. After playing P3rd on same PPSSPP especially. The UI also feels weird. Also hate hunting horns in Unite.
In any case, mind elaborating on graphical tweaks?
| The only reason to play Freedom Unite at this point is nostalgia
If you really wanna play a MH before world either emulate Portable 3rd or if you have a 3ds get 4 Ultimate
Freedom Unite is Not a good starting point for a newcomer to the series, it's arguably one of the worst, not counting the original on PS2
| Thanks for the recommendations, I'll try to keep them in mind.
| As a long time fan, definitely start with World and then work your way back.
| World > XX(4U if you can't play this. Hint: You might not be able to) > Tri/P3rd

World has a lot of features that are hard to go back from, but the least content. 4U has a tremendous amount of content and a pretty great story. Im constantly comparing it to world. So I would honestly start there.
| 4 ultimate. Most of the new features without the casualization of World. 4U has an active community and is monhun as it was meant to be played.
| Freedom Unite. Pretty good learning curve and you start at the snowy level.

The weapon movesets are obviously less varied and less fluid, hunting horn especially makes me wanna kms, movement in general is less fluid overall, don't even get me started on the monster hitboxes, UI feels a lot more cluttery and way less crisp, also L-targeting was a godsend in newer games, however "casual" people might see it
| Start with MH1 on ps2 like a true hardcore hunter.
| Mh unite, i think it's a good idea
| >>155089
Bad idea. Better to go with P3rd for PSP/emulation or 4U if you have a 3DS or World if you have a PS4. >>151792 said it right.
| The latest you can get
| Monster Hunter World
| 3
| Monster hunter P3 is best to begin
Monster hunter world is the best......very less monsters but it's good anyway
Monster hunter 4u is my favorite
