Im considering trying the best PSP MH on Vita to see if i can get into it...
Which one would that be? Is this a good idea?
Or should i go 3DS without 2nd stick?
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. If you don't mind playing a game in Japanese then you could also get Portable 3rd. It's not as good as MHFU but it's a much better entry point into the series due to it's relatively low difficulty and better hit boxes.
Seems like there is a monster pulse reading on the bottom left of the UI/HUD. It beats rapidly when the monster is enraged, and is close to flatlining when the monster is close to death.
Whoa there. Let's dial down the crazy talk. Portable 3rd is excellent. Easily the best MH on PSP despite not having G rank. If you can play it in Japanese or get your hands on the translation patch, it really is excellent.
I noticed something wonderful while watching this: Rathalos' diving claw attack no longer acts like a fucking heat-seeking missile!Gaijin Hunter made a commentary vid of the footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYFIFfhq-wc

Was so ridiculous in the 4th gen games seeing Rathalos warp to his prey.

You'd be better off with a 3DS entry, to be honest. Even though you won't have a second stick, the target camera does a really good job of keeping your focus on the monster without feeling like a crutch, which is something the PSP games never had available. Plus it's really hard to go back to the old broken hit boxes.

You say that like the 3DS is an improvement.Whichever you pick, you're still losing. Monster Hunter with those controls... yikes
Best PSP monhun is P3rd for sure. FU has a fuckton of content but hitboxes are a mess, the weapons are lacking some functionality added in gen 3 titles that adds quite a bit, and the gen 3 monsters are some of the best. Not to mention FU is not a very attractive game in comparison and soloing G rank is masochism.

Not to mention you can use two analogs on the vita.
MHFU G rank solo is some of the best content the series has to offer.
MH4U has everything you might need, from single player to online multiplayer without the need for ad-hoc play.
Lack of online multiplayer really held back the PSP versions in the west. Having to use Xlink Kai to play online was ridiculous. :/
Ah, those were the days on PSP - MHF/2/Unite/3rd. When Kai didn't work I even put up Craigslist ads for local meet-ups at Starbucks to play, and always met cool people to play with.
I wonder how many ppl have actually beaten "Monster Hunter" in MHFU..
I just don't have the patience, honestly. I enjoy some longer hunts, but I find soloing G-rank just too grueling.MHFU G rank solo is some of the best content the series has to offer.

Also, it seems like there's two accessory slots -- looks like you can bring two mantles or use that slot for something else.
If you actually read that comment, it's pretty obvious they're talking about potions etc and not attack animations. Attack animations have nothing to do with going to different areas.
Lyin' lyrick
Some ppl spotted Rathalos (or Rathian) hovering in much further area (see upper left corner).

I'll play with you. What time zone and what's your gf's friend code? I'm in Hawaii.
The NA and EU versions are shared, but not the JP one.I'm in the UK so I don't know what the time difference is. Is MH global or regional matchmaking? If global, will PM you the friend code.

I didn't see this mentioned anywhere but in ProJared's E3 impressions video he mentioned that they said there's going to be a full day and night cycle while you are out on the hunt.
That sounds pretty interesting compared to how it is now with the static day/night hunts.
Crazy talk. MH3U is still an incredible game, even without ledge-jumping and mounting. Monster selection is also amazing. Qurupeco, Gobul, Barioth (he's finally back in XX), Gigginox. I love these guys, and they haven't been brought back =/. Hopefully they all show up in World.Anything before MH4 is not worth playing anymore imo. Its either bad controls or lacking mechanics/weapons. The adhoc nonsense(jumping through hoops for internet play) on the PSP versions also doesn't help.
Yeah itll be interesting to see how ecology changes in the transitions
It's really just the first generation monsters. The 2nd gen ones (Monkeys, crabs, Kushala and co., Tigrex, Narga, Akantor and Ukanlos) are far better with only a few exceptions like Shen Gaoren and Lavasioth.It's hard for me to believe people actually think MHFU is somehow better than the games that followed. I've tried to go back to it many times and it's just so bad. I have no idea what people even see in it besides nostalgia and difficulty.
- Monster designs in first and second gen are shit with a few exceptions like Narga. Compare xdromes with xaggis, or Yian Kut-Ku with Qurupeco, or Cephadrome with Nibelsnarf, etc. So many first and second gen monsters are also just slapped on unfitting skeletons, making them feel generic--compare Gravios to Uragaan.
No Hunter Styles or Arts. Back to basics, albeit probably with some new elements derived from the different styles and arts.Has there been any information about hunter arts in MHW?
I would miss adept..

Kinda a small thing but I would love if Demon Mode or Archdemon Mode added the Wolf's Maw visual effect in a future game. Such a neat look.Like Dual Blades now get a reverse grip stance in demon mode now for example.

Thanks to all the responses! So there is still some hope 😅
