A pretty fun entry, I thought the job system and story were great, but nothing makes me despise this game more than the final stretch of the game. Up until that point, I'd had fun with the challenges in the game, and I don't remember the grind being too bad.
But then you REALLY hit the bullshit wall.
So, after getting the Earth Crystal when you clear the Ancients' Maze, you then get access to Syrcus Tower. And god damn, if this wasn't one of the absolute most bullshit difficulty spikes I'd ever experienced in a videogame, ever. I ground for hours, changed jobs, ground some more, and would still get absolutely stomped in just the first floor of the tower.
I dropped this game after that and I never intend to go back to it.

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.

A pretty fun total-conversion mod for Doom 2.
There are 16 levels and some of them are REALLY short. It's pretty easy, for the most part, if you're at all familiar with shooters like this.
The designs for most of the weapons are pretty cool though, as many of them are fleshy and organic, and they all have their uses except of course the pistol weapon and standard shotgun. Once you get this game's Super Shotgun, the Vile Slayer, you'll never use the regular shotgun again. The Vile Slayer can actually fire a single shell with the left-click or both shells with the right-click, rendering the other shotgun completely moot. The pistol is also worthless as soon as you get a few more weapons, as expected.
The overall visual style is pretty cohesive, gothic castles and fleshy disgusting hellscapes littered with enemies who fit in said environments.
Overall, pretty fun stuff, nothing super ground-breaking, but a fun time nonetheless. You could definitely find worse ways to spend 1-2 hours.
