Played Monster Hunter on the PS2 for the first time. My thoughts:

  1. It’s amazing how much the core tenets of the game have been retained even 20 years later. You play MH and it feels a bit more primitive, but not completely foreign. Monsters are familiar, weapons are familiar, music is familiar. It doesn’t feel much different from the PSP games or the even the 3DS games.

  2. Swinging your weapon with the right analog stick is the weirdest thing. This makes the way the PSP games control make a lot more sense.

  3. I really wish there were pirate servers out there so I could play online. That would be great. I wish companies would make open-source servers after the corporate ones go offline, because MH is all about playing with others.

It’s a cool look back, though.

What a mood, ahah. But yes, MH as core is a multiplayer game.

maybe, but capcom also seems to still consider its solo playerbase, as the monsters have less hp when playing solo

I’m assuming you mean playing with others via Join Request if need be.

Hunter’s Handbook

πŸ“– Relevant Posts Only


Keep it related to Monster Hunter. Plain and simple. If it’s questionable, be ready to back it up.


πŸ“– Respect Your Fellow Hunters


Greenhorns or oldhats, we all start somewhere in the series. Everyone is welcome.

No racism, bigotry, flaming, trolling, or any other behavior unbecoming of a guild hunter. We’re here to play and discuss Monster Hunter with like-minded folks, act like it.

No β€œgame shaming”: This isn’t a place for title vs title arguments. Take that to steam forums or elsewhere. Compare/contrast mechanics between games, discuss what worked or didn’t and how. Devolving into flame wars of β€œMHX sucks, gib more MHY” will not be tolerated.

No β€œoff-meta” shaming: having fun playing the game is the meta. Discuss strats, builds, and give suggestions, but that’s all they are, suggestions.


πŸ“– Original Art Only


No AI art: too easy to spam, too low effort.

Attribute original artists with links, watermarks, and mentions where available. If you don’t know the source, say so.

If an internet sleuth finds a poster cribbing others’ art as their own, that’s a bannable offense.
