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.

    Got into MH with MH4U. Completely lucked into it. Had gotten myself a 3DS primarily intending to do small indie games and retro games, but happened on MH4U and thought that sure I might give a bigger tripple A style game for the 3DS, just to see how something that scale of a game would be on a handheld… And I got HOOKED. Then as I expressed my surprise at this to local friends, and praising the game, a couple of others got it as well and we started hunting together, both online but even better in local mode, which exposed the game to some others that didn’t even have 3DSes and got them interested enough to buy both device and game!

    Since then I’ve been stuck, playing MH4U, Generations (and ultimate), World, Rise and a bit of Stories 2.

    Favourites are MH4U and World.

    Edit: Lance main, Hammer secondary… But have used most weapons at least a bit.

      Wow, you spread like a virus. Excellent MH evangelism. Certainly helps to have “lucked into” what many considered the GOAT in 4U. Welcome hunter, keep spreading the good word.

        Definitely! World hooked another couple of friends since the barrier of entry was lessened with it being on PC.

        Fingers crossed for many more excellent MH games in the future!
