Only thing I'd add there is that Capcom did an HD Remaster of Freedom Unite for mobile and it's actually shockingly fucking good as long as you use a controller (which you should, it has perfect controller support for a reason, the mobile touch interface is barely adequate). It also has full working LAN support in that version. For some people that might be a super easy way to get into MH these days depending on what they're equipped with.

>would I be missing much if I skipped to FU?
No, on the contrary you'd be getting more. Even today FU is still pretty damn solid and has a decent balance of more refined gameplay without some of the new shiny they stick in there now. It's a fine fucking game, particularly if you can find a few bros to play with you. Finding random pubbies though will probably always be a challenge outside of newer games though. It's also plenty fun to solo through a ways even if you don't decide to finish it solo and that's not a big deal if you get it cheap enough.

>>381160098
Well, if you skipped to FU you would be missing some older mechanics (mostly broken shit like headlocking and stacking Adrenaline +2 with Felyne Heroics for massive damage) you aren't missing much.

If you keep playing Freedom 1 you get an incredibly HP bloated Yian Garuga and Fatalis and that's about it. That's all that's unique. MH Freedom 2 is just a worse version of FU because FU literally is an expansion of Freedom 2.

And FU, unlike later monhun games, contains literally all the game content of previous monster hunters. No other game contains all of it's predecessors' content like MHFU does.

>>381160404
My phone is NOT fucking built for gaming, they really should keep in mind not everybody has a fucking rice dout android with 4gb of RAM

>>381160098
Freedom Unite is a great start as well, but if you're stuck at the Yian fight I doubt you'll be better in FU.
I suggest you just keep practicing.

Lance is good for monster hunting, you'll enjoy it but it's more about having a weapon that deals the most damage and is also something you're comfortable with.

Im a Tri baby. Went from Tri to 3U to FU to 4U. I'd say start with 3U or FU.

I don't really like 4U as much as the others for some reason. Just got really bored with it and it wasnt that I got burnt out on MH.

Going back to FU after 3U wasn't really that bad for me. There's less polish and some hitboxes are more bullshit but its not that bad. Might be unfair to say though cause I completed G-rank solo in 3u. No idea how starting MH with FU would go.

>>381157618
Also to answer your question it kinda takes a while to get used to the combat at first, especially if the weapon you use doesn't click for you. For me I started with lance and it was fine, but some people have an easier time with others.

You should probably experiments and see what flows the most for you. Kut Ku is the first wall I believe so don't feel bad for getting stuck there, just keep at it.

You're no longer operating at peak efficiency then. PSP you could do all three at the same time; move, move camera, and attack. There is an attachment though for the 3DS that makes it superior to the PSP. Sadly, they do not make one for the n3DS. I have one for my o3DS and it is amazing.

I actually like the feel of the lance the most compared to the other weapons aside from not being able to roll, I was just worried I'd get halfway through the game only to find out I'd been handicapping myself with an underpowered weapon class or something since I don't really know shit about MH.

>>381163419
All weapons are viable, the better you understand your weapon the better you'll be at dodging and not getting hit.

>>381163419
Lance in any game MH3 and earlier is OP.

>>381163419
Unless you're going for speed hunting records everything is viable. Whatever you feel the most comfortable using is probably the best.

FreedomU or Portable3rd

Depends, P3rd polished some things a little bit, no more cycling to pickaxes and better hitboxes. FU by far had the most content.

I went this path

Started with 4U, then went 3U for Wii U, then went Cross.

Love all games, but am best at 4U. Reached G rank by myself. Put 3U on hold, but am trying to rank up. It took forever to kill that fucking water spirit demon thing. Jesus Christ.

Haven't gotten far in Cross at all. The new movestyle is somewhat confusing, and there are so many goddamn fetch quests that it turns me off.

Excited for Double Cross and the new Monster Hunter coming out.

>>381166673
Thanks anon, if its easier and faster to use than tunngle then that would be great. For some reason I could never host quests using tunngle, only my friend could so I had to solo urgents on my own.

>>381158020
This. The later games reuse almost all of the monsters anyway so you may as well just start from 3 or 4 which have vastly improved mechanics.

>>381161784
>or, emulate 3U on CEMU (or Tri on Dolphin)
Can someone comfirm or deny if 3U works on cemu yet? would be great to play through that again after i sold my wii U

I had MH3U on the 3ds and solo'd G-rank. My friend has MH3U on his WiiU at the same time and did G-rank with randoms online. My Dire Moralis clear time was like 48 minutes with 2 carts. His group Dire Moralis clear time was like 40 minutes with 2 carts.

How bad are random players? Or maybe my plesioth dual swords were just too OP. Either way soloing G-rank in 3U is probably my proudest videogame achievement. I know its nothing amazing but damn was it satisfying.

I've played every generation and the one I really got hooked on was freedom 2, I suggest FU op. It's the same game but with so much more content and it's still got that challenge to it. The newer games just don't pack a punch like your first khezu or Tigrex fight

Normally I'm a big advocate of starting series from the first game, but with monster hunter it seems kind of pointless. You're just hampering your enjoyment of the series by playing a vastly inferior version.

It'd be like deciding to get into Tetris and then choosing to start from the first version ever released.

>>381157618
If you like what you are playing so far then get freedom unite. Hack your PSP if you don't want to buy it.

Freedom Unite is the last installment of the 2nd generation and it contains literally 100% of the first game and a lot more.

The next starting point I would recommend is 4U on the 3ds. Good balance of story and guides new players well. Keep in mind that with this series every game is better than the last in the sense that they all make QOL improvements that are noticable if you go back to an older game.

I want to start a new save on FU. Anyone up for a new adventure?

>>381168802
How is it hardcore to move a stick to face the monster? Lol

>>381165769
nothing 3U is an expansion of Tri with way more monsters and weapons

Ask those people who say removing the standing around after healing is going to make the game easier and how following a pink dot is much harder than following green dots.

>>381168916
Minmaxing elitist scum take pride in having mastered a whole bunch of useless time consuming features or lack-thereof. This explains why they cry casual and get upset when Capcom starts removing them, because it invalidates all the effort they put into dealing with horseshit. After all, if you haven't faced every SINGLE trial I have, including long outdated controls and mechanics, then you're a fucking shitter.

>>381169032

>>381157618
The most IMPORTANT thing about MH is finding a weapon that your comfortable with.
Ive been playing MH since Freedom and I'm still playing on the 3DS. Ive used the Great Sword and Sword and Shield through every game.
Freedom Unite is a good starting point. There are more weapons and more environments. The game isn't going to get easier but you will get better. Just keep trying. Also keep upgrading the equipment you're using and try to have a few elemental and status effect weapons

don't be afraid to look up weaknesses and monster weak spots and they DO change with each variation

>>381168919
3U doesn't have moga village night theme and the poor textures look weird in HD. Also VERY small text. I do agree that the new monsters are very cool but Tri was cooler.

Can I go back to FU after starting with portable 3rd?
I hear that some weapons are more fun after the third generation.

>>381161610
I do this, either using my right or left thumb depending on which is free
I even managed to use the wiimote in tri for weapons that didn't require wagglan
I like to think I'm decent at it despite having enormous hands

>>381169616
Just because your friend is shit doesn't mean that the camera lock function in shit. You just need to know when not to use it, like dark souls.

Although, that said, I finished every single souls game by locking onto every boss and never unlocking. You just need to know when to switch the lock on between multiple enemies. For BB I needed to unlock the camera a lot because the bosses in that game were too large for the shit camera.

>>381167469

>>381170127
I hope the players summoned by flare are pretty heavily gimped. Seems like the tension would be so much lower if you know that you could just summon a bunch of players to fight for you when you're losing and then just hide somewhere.

I mean I'd just avoid using the feature, but it'd be nice if they implement it well.

Monster balance. Monsters have a lot more health and are actually more dangerous in Tri than in 3U (barring a few G-rank hunts). Fighting Jho in both really shows the health difference.

OP, if you're still here, I'm the same as you in that Freedom 1 was my first game, I started with Lance, and I got wrecked. There's a good chance that you don't really understand the 1-2-3 rhythm of the weapon yet because nothing explains it to you and no challenge has required it thus far.
