This is the type of content I want to see!!
I only got into the game purely by luck. I wanted a 3DS XL for when New Leaf came out, but I hated the red/blue designs because they were mixed with black, and I really just wanted a plain black one. Long behold, they accounted a full black 3DS XL for Australia, but it's bundles exclusive with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Usually bundles here are horrible, but this one was only $10 more than if you were just going to buy a 3DS XL outright, so I decided to buy the bundle, because if I hated the game, it was only $10 lost. But holy mother of lord Jesus the game was fantastic. I loved it so much I even bought a Wii U and the Wii U version solely for the online play (I also got the Wii U in a bundle that as insanely good value, too).
Since then I've played every single main series title that's released in the west since 3U, and I've also gone back to play Freedom Unite and Tri. I really don't give a **** about Monster Hunter World and I'll always see the title as a spin off, no matter how much they try to push it as main series. I'm eagerly waiting for them to announce Double Cross for the west, and also looking forward to playing Stories, but I don't think I'll like that as much as the main series.
It's a really good series to get into where you can literally get 300+ gameplay hours, and it's certainly my favourite game franchise. If anyone wants to try get into the series, I'd recommend starting with 4 Ultimate - it's probably the most tutorial friendly, but also has the most content. I understand the game isn't for everyone, but I wish a lot more people played; it really is a fantastic franchise.
