I've got alot of nostalgia for the third generation, it was the generation of MH games that I got into the series with. My first actual game was MH3:Tri. Somehow, I managed to get my hands on the game after the servers were shut down, so it was a long time before I got to properly experiance a multiplayer hunt. Truth be told, I loved the game and I don't know why. I was horrible at the game, I knew that elemental defense was a thing, but rather then make a set that is highly resistant to one of two elements, I focused on making a 'Jack of all trades" set, and thanks to my inexperiance, I ended up with a set that only had five in each elemental defense.  I didn't know Armor Skills were a thing, and I kept trying to use the sword and shield when my playstyle was far too aggressive and bold for it.  I was bad,  and yet for some reason the challenge entranced me.  I was so bad that the great jaggi was incredibly tough to fight.  Despite this, I somehow pulled through all the way up to Ceadeus.  I don't know how I did it, But at this poitn the series had me trapped.  Soon after I bought MH3U and finally started to get a good grip on how things work. At the very least, I finally entered high rank and realized that armor skills existed.  Soon after I bought mh4u, finally experianced multiplayer, then MHX, and now im here, eagerly awaiting MH:World. The same strange masochism that made me keep comign back to tri despite how bad I was at it is probably the same reason why I love the Dark Souls and Bloodborne games as well.
