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.

    Way back in the day I had heard that Monster Hunter was the new hot game in Japan, and they had just released Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on PSP. At the time I couldn’t make heads or tails of it, but I beat my head against it for a while. For some reason I stuck with the series almost out of sheer refusal to accept that I didn’t grok it, but then Monster Hunter Rise came along. 700 hours later across two platforms and I’m more of a Monster Hunter fiend than I ever was.

      I was lucky (cursed) to have a friend guide me through the MHFU clunk to ensure I didn’t quit from confusion. Both I and the series have come such a long way now but it still feels like a video game home. Glad you like Rise as well. It’s what I dreamed of when I first became a pc gamer and yearned for a MH title.
