Tell your Monster Hunter origin story
As more clearly dedicated hunters trickle into our slice of the fediverse, let's take the opportunity this smaller community gives us to share how Monster Hunter found us.

Growing up my dad would always do a silly amount of research into the best video games to get my brother and I. And they were always relatively unknown - games like Zack and Wiki, and ofc Monster Hunter. So for my 10th birthday I got Monster Hunter Tri, that’d just released that year. He also bought a classic controller for me, as he’d heard that it was borderline necessary.
I loved the game to death. I’d literally just wander around Moga Woods and live off the land for as long as possible. I ofc sucked at the game tho, getting totally walled by some of the first monsters like Qurupeco. But I didn’t really care as I’d just go back to messing around in the woods.
Eventually I hit a wall so hard that it led me to quitting the game. Gobul. I rage quit and didn’t fully come back to the franchise until years later. I would play on and off for a while, but it took years for me to fully get into the series. I had a 3ds and saw that a demo for 3U was available, so I tried it out. I loved it, and immediately went out and bought both 3U and 4U. Been playing ever since.
I’m actually playing through Tri for the first time since then now that the servers are up, and having a blast!
That mf-ing Gobul, he made me quit the game too for a couple of years!
Right on Cap'n. No shame in getting bodied by Qurupeco, that ornery SOB was designed to do just that.
Those flint attacks hit like a truck lol! They’re pretty easy to avoid but as a kid I didn’t stand a chance.
