Hunter's Handbook

๐Ÿ“– Relevant Posts Only
Keep it related to Monster Hunter. Plain and simple. If it's questionable, be ready to back it up.

๐Ÿ“– 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 "game 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 "MHX sucks, gib more MHY" will not be tolerated.

No "off-meta" shaming: having fun playing the game is the meta. Discuss strats, builds, and give suggestions, but that's all they are, suggestions.

๐Ÿ“– 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.

Tried original Monster Hunter (PS2) (lemmy.world)

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.

There is at least one server for MH1, played with a friend some years ago but it was quite the trouble to get it working, i heard there is for MH2 and believe MH3 is being worked on. All of this through emulation on pc btw

There is a server. It can even be played on the PS2.

iirc, it's based on Japanese version, patched English. So, you may have to restart from scratch.

Yeah, that's what I'm reading. Won't go too far down the rabbit hole with the US version then.
