This game introduced me to the Monster Hunter series - probably not an ideal start for a beginner, but I had a veteran to play with who helped me.

As a new player I couldn't really appreciate all the old gen pandering, but I get the idea behind it. I did however notice how the older gen monsters were noticeably more boring and/or had terrible hitboxes. Oh well, with that many monsters in the game you're not really forced into hunting everything a lot, and most of the boring ones were early game monsters. The flagship monsters however are all really cool and fun to fight.

As a pre-World game, this game was a lot less streamlined than the newer entries in the series. I personally don't mind either way.

Graphically the game was pretty underwhelming since, yknow, it was on the 3DS and I didn't have a New 3DS XL or whatever the fuck it was called.
