Its thanks to Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate that I went from someone who hated the series, to a fan of it. Upon playing the demo, my initial thoughts were “this still sucks,” but for some reason, I bought the game anyway. One day I was casually browsing through the Eshop’s sales, and came across “Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.” When I came across it, I had some slight curiosity, and I saw it had a demo.

Fast forward a few years, and I get myself a 3DS. I stopped playing it faster then any game ever before. I couldn’t get my head around the controls, the weapons felt slow and heavy, and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out how to dodge any of the large monster’s attacks. My first Monster Hunter game was Freedom Unit e on the PSP, and I absolutely hated it. But before we begin talking about Generations and what new things it brings to the series, we should probably talk about my history with the Monster Hunter series.

Generations is a great addition to the Monster Hunter series. Each new game takes months of my free-time and throws it out the window.
