While researching good PSP games to play I found many posts about Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and other Monster Hunter games. They are beloved by the community but after doing some reading/watching it’s not clear to me what the appeal is. I would appreciate if someone could tell what the goal is and what you love about the game. Apparently they are very long games (I think I read 100 hours or something along those lines) which is really great if I can get into a single game for that long. Thank you!
I started MonHunt on PS2, the very first one, it immediately hooked me in. At the time i’m looking for an MMO but offline and without the lag. It got monster to slap, thing to gather, quest to complete, weapon and armour to craft, pretty much fit the description on what i want, though i’m still a teenager at the time and i have no idea what the heck i’m doing, the game can be very non-descriptive at time. Also played monhunt 2 but skipped 3, and finally beat 4.
So basically it’s an MMO-like but 1-4 player, and you hunt giant monster while learning their move, then you carve up their corpse and craft new weapon with it. That’s it. But at the time the concept is so fresh people either hate it or love it.
