Playing the new monster hunter game and farming Magnamalo to finish his armor set. Need a plate to finish the set off so going for captures instead of kills. Got him weak and set a trap down. Going to use the tranq bombs and a bnhabra paralyzes me for the entire trap duration.
To say I’m upset is an understatement. Just turned the switch off and walked away.
How many Monster Hunter games are there now? I wouldn’t mind trying it. The last one I heard about was Monster Hunter World.
In total? Let’s see… if you don’t count the translated ones or multi-system ones as separate (which, really, you shouldn’t) and include the non-English ones that don’t have an English release… there’s 16 of 'em: two for PS2, four for PSP, one for Wii, five for 3DS (two of which are also on Switch), one for Switch, one for eighth-gen (which is also on PC), and two for PC. Plus an expansion for the eighth-gen one, though technically four of the others are stand-alone expansions.
There’s also been a number of spin-offs which appeared on various platforms and usually only extended on one or two elements. And I guess you could argue that Freedom and Freedom 2 were just ports of their respective non-portable variants, but they did change a few things between them.
If you want to cut your teeth on the series, I would recommend Freedom Unite (has the full cast of MH and MH2, plus extras), 4 Ultimate (no underwater bits like 3 but still has most the roster plus more), and Generations Ultimate (largest roster of any MH game so far, and last of the “classic” line). World/Rise changed up the style significantly, removing between-zone loading, neutering most of the “tracking” aspect, and making the combat more fast-paced.
Big fan of the Akantor, Lao Shan Lung, and Shen Gao Ren fights. But you’ll need to be quite a ways in to see those in their appropriate titles.
