The best entry in the series, hands-down. The huge roster of monsters, the innumerous cool weapon and armor designs, the many varied locations, and the super fun gameplay makes this the most solid entry in the entire Monster Hunter franchise. By the time I finally stopped playing, I had put 700 hours into it.
If GU didn't have the early parts of Gen that would easily be the best Monster Hunter, but as it stands this reigns supreme over all of them. An incredible flagship with Gore (if you ignore this being the expansion where Seregios is the real flagship), broke ass CB, the absurd story that's way cooler than it has any right to be.
Apex Monsters suck and are a blight, but everything else rules.

Monster hunter at its finest. If you have a band of friends to play with this is pretty much some of the most fun you can have. The endgame seems endless, the amount of set customization is almost overwhelming, and there's so, so many monsters. The only issues are the console it's on is garbage, and not having a circle pad pro will destroy the center of your hands. Otherwise, the best in the series.
Two new weapons, the Magalas, Gogmazios and a fantastic low rank story. This was a really fun one, I have a lot of good memories with it. Going to all the villages was a great set up, I really love the showdown with Shagaru Magala. The insects were also fantastic monsters. Frenzy was good, apex was awful, and the 140 monsters were usually too much but otherwise I actually really loved the end game.
Capcom and Nintendo saw me coming a mile off. MH4U edition New 3DS? Yes please.
The earlier otherworldliness of MH3 had worn off, but now I felt like a veteran, barging through the dull early hours and quickly getting to the good stuff, paying attention to systems I'd overlooked before. I really enjoyed the expeditions and the palico games and the rare weapons, a nice satisfying cycle.
Barely remember multiplayer, must've not been in the mood.
