Started playing generations ultimate
Last week I started playing GU, up until then the only monster hunter games I've played were freedom unite and portable 3rd with the later being one of my favourite games of all time now.
I was really excited for GU because of the massive roster and combat and so far I'm very impressed. The new monsters are so cool and fun to fight and the combat is phenomenal. I'm absolutely in love with the switch axe in this game and plan on learning the charge blade as well.
I love the quality of life improvements this game has and it makes it a less frustrating experience compared to the other 2 games I've played. I do miss the farm from portable 3rd though and the traveling merchant being able to sell rare materials because farming for stuff that I could just buy in portable 3rd sucks.
Another thing I love is how much easier it is to craft weapons. So far the monsters seem to drop more materials because even when I was farming for Astalos's set it only took a few hunts to get all the materials.
Thanks to GU I was now able to fight Gore Magala and Shagaru Magala, Lagiacrus and the fates 4 and I must say with the exception of Gammoth they all lived up to the hype I've seen about them. Shagaru Magala and Gore might just be my favourite hunts in the series so far right behind Amatsu, they're hunts that are challenging but in a fun way, they feel perfectly balanced. The fated 4 were really cool especially Astalos though I was disappointed by Gammoth mostly because she's so big I could barely see what she was doing and she's just a gain moving target. I hope her deviant or G rank version will improve my opinion of the hunt. Lagiacrus was also really cool, can't forget about Malfestio and Najarala as well who are some of the coolest monsters I've seen.
Now that I'm close to high rank I'm really excited to see what more the game has in store for me.
