I started my monster hunter journey in Rise when it came out. It was really fun and I will always love my insect glave. After getting bored though I figured I would try a different MH title but this time from the older generations because all I hear about them is how they just "felt" better to play. I picked up MHFU aaaand immediately put it down. I didn't get why people loved it so much. It was "clunky" and for some reason unbelievably hard. So then I tried MHGU for switch. It was fun...but it just felt...idk, not as grand as everyone painted it out to be.

I've gotten a major hankering recently to play old school games in general (Seriously, f*ck modern Sony and Nintendo buisness practices) and decided to give FU another try and idk man, something just clicked. Please, allow me to be the fifty eight thousandth person to say this but, THIS GAME IS PEAK. The deliberate and "just enough" simplicity of combat, the feeling of accomplishment after hunts (even in the early game), the scale of the world, and the deliberate pacing choices in the village (the Pokke farm and inventory managment) strike such a balance and honestly provide an experience newer gen games don't. Hell even the difficulty isn't BAD, it's just demanding, which just adds to the feeling of accomplishment. Idk man, I just love this game so far and am sad that I slept on it for so many years.

Is there anyone still playing this game? Or am I too late to the party :(

So I was just grinding my HR to 50 in MR events and suddenly this person decided to help me. It was so fun to see a very experienced player in action.

How can someone even reach such a level 😭 anyways, thank you stranger or it would have taken a few more mins for me to finish it (it's my first sos flair as I only play with one of my friends as a duo)

Nercylla swung back into your hearts and faces with its return in #MHWilds.

In this concept art we can see the detail that went into bringing the monster to this generation, both with and without its Gypceros jacket!

Love the design and feel, if you’re curious on a review go to the Secretlabs page and you should find it there as I am too lazy to rewrite everything. Happy hunting yall.

New gen hunter based in the new world, finally jumped on monster hunter back in July this year and haven’t looked back. This series has revived my love for gaming.

Pretty basic question for all my fellow hunters. With Lao coming back in Ascendance what do we expect for them to change up about the hunt?

just out of curiosity, how well do yall think the wild kratts (and maybe the rest of the cast like aviva, coky, jimmy and the villains) would deal with the monster hunter world if they were to be teleported there, as hapenned with geralt?

heck, now i want a fanfic about this.

You know those times where you laying to go to sleep and have sudden inspiration? Yeah, well there I was last night thinking of Gravios, as one does, when I realized the torso I built for him would be a perfect starting point for Ukanlos and Akantor. Cut to 1:30 this morning where a very tired me had a complete Black God and White God built, and second gen as a whole finished.

! Warning ! : The two parts shown in the last render were miscolored on Akantor. Those pieces don't exist in the dark tan used for his tusks and dark gray used for his hind legs. This is fixed in the parts list on Rebrickable, but the renders and instructions still feature him with the wrong colors. Also, these guys are far less posable than I'd have liked, with their legs only having limited vertical rotation.

While looking at footage for Pokaradon from monster hunter frontier, I had stopped for a moment to actually look at it's biology. While yes, it's design IS based off of pinnipeds like seals and walruses, it's anatomy actually leans closer to sirenians, specifically the Protosiren (Listed in page 2)

The reason why I say this is simply in the tail. There are some people who probably believe that the back flippers of pinnipeds are stemmed from tails, but the thing is that the back flippers of pinnipeds are legs, so unless Pokaradon's tail just evolved to be REALLY large, or it actually has 6 limbs (Impossible in monster hunter taxonomy considering it's a leviathan) then this is without a doubt, NOT a seal.

With that it was either a cetacean, or a sirenian. Now you look at this damn thing and tell me it alludes to whale so I can smack you on the head, no doubt it's a sirenian!

So in MY theory (And headcanon) Pokaradon is the descendant of Protosirens who, in an effort to withstand the frozen environments of the Polar Sea, adapted a larger body size and convergently evolved to resemble large pinnipeds like walruses due to the same circumstances, and are actually more closely related to creatures like manatees and dugongs, along with the extinct Stellar's sea cow

....And so with them technically by this case being in the clade Tethytheria, their closest in-universe relative is Gammoth.

Im like 50 hrs into iceborn (I’m a slow player, I’m taking my time) and so far it’s great.
I may be going a little insane sometimes (ähem Brachydios is hell on earth, but it always gets worse… ähem Barioth) but most monsters so far are cool and fun to fight.
Special shoutout to my favorite dlc monster so far, Bonboro! Their armor is the best!
Special F*ck you to the Barioth, it took 10 damn hours from me, why is that thing so damn hard to fight?!?

Just saw this on insta

Let me know what you think?

Got to be apart of the first ever MH USA orchestra performance in LA early 2026.

So happy I get to be apart of the 2027 performance as well!

Hopefully there’s a lot of Texan hunters out there!

Just sharing with the community that I'm placing my bets on him right now. if it really happens i'll quote this post

I’m like one of the few who has the great jagras as their favorite. Which sucks because it hasn’t returned ever. Granted it’s in the new mobile game but I don’t want include that, since it’s not really a console/PC game.

I put in a lot effort into this one. I'm happy with the results 😁

Hope you enjoy the video! 💖💕

I'm not sure if I may advertise my youtube here but I'll put this here just in case someone is interested: youtube.com/@markhest
